But I'm not young any more, and no woman by herself could do it.' 'What can I do?' 'Keep your voice down,' the old man said conspiratorily as he led her to the gin, 'but this cotton is the lifeblood of the Confederacy. We have no manufacturing, as your book-writing fellow said. And we have few railroads. But by God we have cotton, and the world needs it.' Picking at the edge of a bale, he fingered the precious fiber he had spent his life producing. 'On this wharf it's worth a cent and three-quar...ters a pound. Aboard ship to Europe, it's worth a dollar-sixty a pound.
