Southern Enterprise. Manufacturer's! Record. A very remarkable illustration of the spirit which animates the South und of the enterprise of this sectinn has boon given in the manner in which “trusts” are handled. We believe that only two “trusts” of any special import ance organized to control business in terests centering exclusively in the South have ever been formed, and both of them have been practically defeated by the determination and enterprise of southern people, while of “trusts’’ organized in other sections we cannot recall the defeat of any single one of note. The American Cotton Oil Trust, tin offshoot of the great Standard Oil Com pany, was organized to monopblize the cotton-seed oil business. Before the pub lic was aware of what was being done, this “trust” had secured the control of almost every first class cotton oil mill in the South, and its monopoly seemed complete. Like the Standard Oil Com pany in Pennsylvania, the American Cotton Oil Trust was bent upon an ab solute control of every branch of the trade, and, backed by tiie vast wealth of its parent, it looked to many as though it was useless to fight it. The South, however, did not so regard the matter, and just when its control seemed most absolute and a fight against it most hopeless, a young Carolinian, who had made a wide reputation as an engineer, planned and organized in connection with his friends a $5,000,000 company to build independent oil mills. Within a few months from its formation this com pany had eight of the best cotton oil mills ever built in full operation, located at points where they could best compete with the mills of the “trust.” The mo nopoly was broken and the South was saved from the danger of having this great industry controlled by one com pany, which could force prices of seed down and of oil up at its own good pleasure. Millions of dollars were saved to the planters by this successful fight against the first great “trust’’ which threatened Southern prosperity. The jute bagging trust was so skillfully planned and so ably managed that not until the cotton crop was beginning to move was its existence realized. Its or ganizers felt safe. They knew that the cotton must be bagged promptly and sent to market, and+hey boasted of what they were going to do in the way of ad vancing prices. To attempt to fight this “trust” by bringing out a substitute for jute bagging in time for the present crop was apparently worse than useless. It would only lead to delay in shipping cotton and to still higher prices for bag ging. Planters were advised to submit with the best grace possible this year in hopes that before another season rolled around a remedy for the evil would have been found. This advice, however, was not taken. Instead of that the whole South was bent upon defeatingthe“trust” at the very start, ami many have been the devices brought out to accomplish it. Practically the “trust” is dead. Substi tutes even better than jute have been found. As already known to our readers the Lane Mills, of New Orleans, and the Acme Manufacturing Company, have* produced bagging, one from low grade cotton and one from pine straw, which meet all the requirements and which are destined to supplant jute bagging. Night and day the milis will run to meet the demand for this bagging, and thus from what seemed a curse has sprung the blessing of two new industries in the South which will add several million dol lars a year to Southern prosperity. In these facts can be seen thespirit of energy and enterprise which is building up the South and plantingnew industries every where, overcoming obstacles that would appall others and pressing steadily for ward, undaunted by difficulties. The South is at work and its people are des perately in earnest, so “trusts” had bet ter shun this section. The Expansion of Cotton 3lanufat*tuiug' in the South. New Orleans Picayune. The N, Y. Chronicle, a well known and influential trade publication, has recently issued a report on the cotton trade and crop ol 1887-fs. Alter giving the crop figures and movement, the Chronicle passes to the consideration of the manu facturing industry in the United States, and admits that the past year has been one of the best in the history of the cot ton trade. The demand for cotton goods has been large and continuous, and the year closed as it began, with stocks de pleted, confidence unimpaired and the demand steadily increasing. While the trade on the whole has been prosperous, Southern mills have experi enced a season of unprecedented success. Spindles have increased fully 10 per cent, and are now augmenting rapidly. A complete census taken by the Chronicle on 230 mills with 1,177,991 spindles, against 219 mills and 1,096,G62 spindles last year. Since the census of 1880 the number of spindles in the South has doubled. Seventeen additional mills are now almost complete, and forty more are building, while it is reported that the old mills are about to add 203,000 new spindles. The amount of cotton consumed shows an even greater increase than thenutuber of spindles employed, being now over 12 per cent larger than last year. Thenum ber of bales consumed was 443,373, against 393,460 last season. This tendency of the manufacturer to draw nearer to the raw material has been | growing from year to year, and was j never so apparent as at the present time. With an abundance of reliablelabor, and with the raw cotton at their doors, the Southern mills have prospered and new ones are rising up on every hand. Should this rate of insrease be kept up, the man ufacture of cotton cloth will soon be as important an industry in the South as is the production of the raw material it self. Consumption Cured.
