Growth and Progress of the New Sooth The Oeorglte records here each dsy sew* economic fart In reference to tb* eaweid march of tho booth. Rerent publications of tho various Federal bureaus ara furnishing th* world with u great deal of Information about th* resources of th* Bouth, snd the present great development going on In thle section. We gave a few dtya ago the statistic* of the lumber Industry of th* country, which show that the South Is now furnishing noarly halt of all the lumber used In thin country. This has been followed by a publication hv ihe United Stales Geological Hurvay, giving tho mineral production of the United mates for 1*06, and presenting Ute following statistics for th* Houthern states: States. Values. Alabama 161,661,666 Arkansas «,740,7*4 Florida 4,111,761 Georgia 0,600,666 Kentucky 14.671,111 taiulslsna 6,111.410 Maryland 10,041,167 Mississippi 674.176 North Carolina 1,414,061 Bouth Carolina 1.664,467 Tennease* 16,141.611 Texaa 11.711,146 Virginia 11,761,666 West Virginia 74,7!L*f« Total 1546.651.041 Total United mates 1.104,144,715 The Bouth, It will be seen, now turns oul one-seventh ot all th* minerals prodursd In this country. When It Is ronstdtred that the devel opment of thle Industry Is a matter of tbe last few year*, tb* great progress made can be more fully appreciated. In no case perhaps has this progress been more startling than In Lou isiana. A dosen years ago this atate waa regarded as one of tho most unpromising from a mineral point of view of any In th* Union, Its only production being a little salt. In 1*05 It stood eighth among the four teen Houthern states In mineral output, having passed Arkansas, Georgia and North Carolina. With the further development of Ita oil and sul phur deposits It will probably have passed Kentucky. Tennessee and Tex as by the time the next census Is taksn. It can not, of courtt, ever ex pect to rank among th* great mineral stales of Ih* Union, but It can hope to occupy an honorable position and to draw from th* soil mil lions of hidden wealth. Relative to the mineral output of the Bouth. the same point can be made as In regard to Its lumber—that the Southern people are os yet shipping these valuable products elsewhere In nearly a crude Mat* and al lowing other communities to make the greatest profit In them. Instead of converting our valuable timbers Into vehicle*, furniture, woodenware, etc., the bulk of It Is shipped elsewhere In th* form of lumber or log*, to - be converted In Ihe North or Europe Into more valuable products. In the same way our iron and coal are largely shipped elsewhere: and Ala bama pig goes North to be mad* Inte rails, hollowirare, plows, etc., and West Virginia and Virginia coal to keep alight th* furnacag and factories of Ptttshurg and other Northern man ufarturtag cltle*. • ' Similarly Louisiana salt goes elsewhere to enter the product of Western packing houses: Its sulphur to Europe and the North to eater Into the various Industries that us* thla chemical, and ft* oil furnishes Ihe motive power for establishments outside of the stats. - Th* Houth will not secure the full value of Its great natural resource* until It utilises thsni fully snd converts the raw material* Into finished products.—New Orleans Tlmes-Democral. || npiviimii (And News) St. Patrick’s Day in th* Morning Many Are Trapped By Great Flood in Tenements.
