quite a large part of tliecun iculuin.
Abuudant oportunity for practical

Suit hern writers and i-coiiomists
continue to urge a diversification of
industries in that section under the
stimulus given by the new protec
tive tariff. The Charleston News
and Courier in u recent issue calls
attention to the fact that although
the Smth produced moie than 11,
000,000 bales of cotton last year,
it did not raise enough IIkxIs ami
provision crops to support its own
population mx months, and has Imh-ii
inlying corn, hay anil wheat in the

ducers of that section ought to lol
low the example of those now en
gaged in the enterprise of diversify
ing industries which have U-cn so
greatly encouraged iu that section
since the enactment of the Dinglev
law.
