Splendid Talk Delivered: at the Farmer's
Institute.
Clemson College, August 13.-At
the afternoon meeting of tho instituto
Ooh M. V. Richards, in an extempora
neous address spoke of the wonderful
development, made in the State of
South Carolina, ?long agricultural and
other lines.
Col. Richards e'atod that the cen
sus shows the increase of ospital in
vested ic enterprises in the South to
be 348 per cent, while in the United
States the i uereaso was only 253 per
cent; that the increase in the value of
produots of the faolories in the South
from 1880 to 1900 was 220 per cent,
and in the United States 142 per oent;
that ia 1880 there were 161 cotton milla
in the South with 561,360 spindles, ic
1802 there were 570 cotton mills, with
6,480,974 spindles. Speaking of the
development of tho territory tributary
to the line of tho Southern Ballway he
stated that during the year 1902 there
were constructed on the Southern Bail
way 33 cotton mills with 15,266 looms,
543,000 spindles, and in 1900 there
were 19,000,000 spindles. During th?
year 1902 there were located tributar]
to the line- of the * Southern ' Bailwa;
663 factories having a capital of $19,
000,000/ Speaking of the railroad de
velopment of the South he showac
that tho railroads io 1860 in th?
United States had a traokage of 30,
000 miles while in 1900 the roads ii
! the South alone had a traokage of 55,
0?O miles_
In speaking of the resources cf th;
South and the question of emigratioi
; thereto he showed that the South ii
thirty-fivo ytars bad developed fros
: bankruptcy to affluence. As late ai
11880 there was considerable dis o alis
faction in the South, little cfevelop
ment of the farms, and the towns wer
backward; that at that time emigra
tion was going out of the South am
helping to build up the North an?
Northwest.
Col. Richards urged that the farm
era, business and professional men o
South Carolina take a personal an
aptlye interest in the question o? d<
velopment of the oounty roads of the!
State, and spoke of the interest toan:
fested throughout the South in thl
important question.
Ho advised that the owners of fatg
farms favorably consider subdividin
them into praotioal sizo plaoes, an
selling them to Northern farmers wfa
were anxious to find homes in tbi
southern country.
The speaker urged that more intel
est be taken in the farther develo]
ment of the schools of South Carolin!
that every citizen sboiwld give to Clon
son College his fullest! co-operatic
and support;'aod should see that tl
State legislature increased, rather tba
decreased its present expenditure
along this line; that this work is in
portant to the State in many partioi
lars, and this institution should 1
made one of the strongest agricultor
colleges in the United States. M
Richards stated that ho expected ax
hoped to see the time when this cc
lege should have au enrollment of 3,0(
-students, and South Carolina a pop
lation of three million.
Coi. Riohards impressed upon h
audienoe the fact that he was a stroi
believer in and supporter of the loo
real estate agent, and advised tl
members of the institute to give the
their moral' and financial support h
Reving that such support would x
dound to the benefit of the com mu
i ty i n whioh they are located.
