FACTS ABOUT THE SOUTH.
Reading edition
Former Vice-President Fairbanks says, “The new South is a realistic fact—not an idle fancy.”
One-fourth of the United States entire export trade for over a quarter of a century has been the South’s cotton.
The South produces practically all the phosphate used in the United States, and more than two-thirds of the fertilizers.
During the past thirty-two years the value of the South’s cotton surpassed the world’s entire output of both gold and silver by over $5,000,000,000.
