The Industrial Progress of a Week in
the South.
Notwithstanding the fact July is
usually ttn extremely dull month
even during prosperous times, there
is a remarkable degree of industrial
activity in the south, as shown by
the large number of new enterprises
organized and the improvements
that are being made in old estab
lishments. From the weekly list of
new enterprises, as published in the
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore,
of July 11, we gather the following:
In Alabama we find that the new
Birmingham Strive Manufacturing
Company, organized last week, have
commenced buying machinery for
their foundry, the Clifton Iron Cos.,
of Jenifer, the president of which,
Mr. Samuel Noble, is one of the
most successful iron masters in the
United States, will increase their
capital stock from 6225,000 to 8500-
000, with a view, we suppose, to
building additional works; the
rolling mills at Birmingham, accord
ing to the report of the seperintend
ent, will expend 8100,000 in adding
a steel plate mill; at Jonesborough
a grist mill building, and at Anda
lusia a saw mill, while anew railroad
is under construction to marble
quarries near Newoka. In Florida,
Jacksonville is to have new gas
works. Kissime has good prospects
for an ice factory and a brick yard,
Sanford is partly promised the loca
tion of'large works, Longwood has
a moss factory under construction,
and Crystal River has anew saw
mill. In Georgia the Macon Oil A
Fertilizer Company will erect a fer
tilizer factory, enlarge their oil mill

a machine shop, saw and grist mill
are to be built; a 810,000 carriage
and wagon factory is under con
struction at Wilson ; a saw mill is
to be put up at Waynesviile, and has

ing enterprises, it is quite evident
that there is a very marked activity
in the south in this line. If large
j corn and cotton crops are produced,
as now seems almost certain, the
| south will show wonderful industrial
activity this fall.
HEALTH AND PRAYER.
Frank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine.
It ought to be a matter of con
gratulation that through the sanita
ry improvement in ail our cities and
the vigilance and energy of health
officers the probability of a groat
scourge this summer has been turn
ed back into an improbability. o~e
who visits the cities of Italy and
Southern France is surprised ti T *t
they do not have perpetual pesti
lence, because of the concentrated
filth of year after year and ceu*o**r
after century. Standing invitations
are these cities for dreadful sickness
es to come and do their worst. If,
slipping through the fingers ot alert
quarantine, the Asiatic cholera
should land in our American cities,
it would have but little opportunity.
T think the national fright about ffn
imported plague has put up the bur
ner for its entrance and against its
entrance. 1 expect the coming sum
mer wi.. he one of unusual health.
People who argue about the inevita
ble track of cholera, argue without
the usual premise of decayed gar
bage. Let us do all we can for the
purification of our cities, and obey
all hygienic regulations, and then
expect national health. Would Gi“d
that we were as anxious about the
moral health of our cities as the phys
ical health. There are plagues tLftt
have already landed that will kill
ten times as many ot our people
cholera. Great vices that care for
no laws of quarantine are sweeping
across the land to-day like
ing angels. The alcoholic scourge
will this summer destroy more lives
than ail the epidemics put together.
What are the distempers that s!r-y
the body compared with those that
slay both body and soul? Let a 1
churches and reformatory organiza
tions, and all philanthropists and all
Christians, band together against
the further progress of these morol
evils with which our cities are alffh -
ted. Encourage all the thousand
agencies for the moral and spiritu* 1
cure of these cities now sick wit i
sin, but remember that the migiitie; t
agency is prayer. God always h <.>
honored it. and He always will ho;j
or it. Those omnipotent levers
all around us, but we have not
enough to lay hold of them j ai’-
er for the sick that the'’. Y , ,Ma
stered. Prayer tin* ‘ ,rt v
tbjtt .iiav.be reeljuqmiP .j #'<-*• *•
the city that it may be evangeli
Prayer for the world that its disin
thrallmcnt may be hastened. People
smile when they talk about answers
to prayer, and it is often the smile
of incredulity. There is great, guess
ing now about General Grant’s
seeming convalescence. The able
physicians attending him pronounce
him incurable. Some time ago they
told us he might last out- the week,
and then that he * ’lit last through
the night, and then that he might
last an hour; but he is so much bet
ter he goes and sits at his dining
table yesterday, so much better that
he rides out, so much better that
they are discussing whether he had
better go to the mountains or the
sea. What has done it ? Medicine?
Oh, no ! The doctors say no. Per
mit me, a believer in the old fashion
ed Gospel, to say that God has done
it in answer to prayer. Thousands
of people have been praying for this
result. Do you not think that God
really meant what He said when
through the inspired writer lie de
clared “the effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availet’n much ?”
Will our ex-President get well? I
cannot tell, because I do not know
whether there is -faith enough for
that. But 1 know a half-dozen con
secrated men who could go into that
room and take the patient by the
hand and kneel down and pray with
and tor him, and he would come
forth as well as when he rode into
the battle of Shiloh. The doctors
will not cure him. They say they
cannot. Why not let some people
try pure, unadultered faith in God?
You say, “Why not have such peo
ple pray at a distance, instead of in
lfls sick-room?” Because God would
not get the glory, but the doctors.
The infidel world would say it was
anew kind of gargle, it was a skill
ful change of treatment after consul
tation of physicians, and medical
science would clap its hand and say:
“I did it, I did it!” To God be all
the glory. After the church has
stumbled along in Christian work
for a little while longer, it will discov
er the full power of prayer, and the
discovery will make as much change
in the spiritual world as the discov
ery of printing made in the literary
world, as the discovery of firearms
made in military exploits, as the ap
plication of steam and electricity to
locomotion and telegraphy. Wake
up, O church of God, to the power ot
prayer. Putit into your business, put
it into your work, put it into all your
enterprises. Fill your life with it.
Pray, pray, pray! What a sublime
close to the Epistle of James, where
he says: “Confess your faults one to
another, and pray tor one another
that ye may be healed. Elias was a
man subject to like passions as we
are, anti be prayed earnestly that it
might not rain, and it rained not on
the earth by the space ot three years
and six months. And he prayed
again, and the heaven gave rain, and
the earth brought forth her fruit.
Brethren, if any of you do err feom
the truth, and one convert him,,let
him know that which convertethithe
sinner from the error of his yay
shall save a soul from death, and shall
hide a multitude of sins.”

MORE MAGNIFICENCE.
ATLANTA STILL ADVANCING IN
ARCHITECTURAL GREATNESS.
ONE OF THE FINEST STORE
STUCTURES IN THE UNITED
STATES.
The Splendid Array of Architecture in a
Few Blocks.
We take pleasure in copying the
following notice of the splendid
building now being built by Cham
berlin, Johnson & Cos., of Atlanta,
from the Atlanta Mail, 11th instant :
The glory of Atlanta is her cease
less onward stride. We have now
to chronicle for our readers another
illustration of this fact.
A solid French plate-glass and
iron front five story building is
! what Atlanta can boast of in a few
weeks or months. On the corner of
Whitehall and Hunter streets hun
dreds of persons can be seen daily,
watching the builders as they teacle
huge iron columns and beams in
place on the new building of Cham
berlin, Johnson Sc Cos., and all agree
that a more perfect or solid founda
tion was never started, and that
instead of five stories they could
double the height without danger.
This building will be something
new for Atlanta, as the architects,
Messrs. Kimball & Wheeler, promise
that on this corner will be, in a few
months, one of the finest stores in
the south, and by far the handsome
est in the state. First, will be a
basement store to extend to curbing
in front, and French plate-glass the
full length of Hunter street side,
which, for light and convenience,
will be equal to any and far superior
to most of our best business houses.
Second, the second floor to be used
>l ' the retail department will be tin
!° led second to none in the United
States and on the order of the hand
somest Broadway retail houses in
New York. This floor will have 13,-
000 square feet and 18 feet in the
clear from floor to ceiling, with
solid French plate glass front and
side, 18 feet down Hunter. Third,
same number square feet to floor and
14 feet in the clear, with solid glass
front and side, the same as 2d, form
ing on the corner a solid glass bay
window 32 feet high, 18 feet on
Hunter and the front 55 feet. This
corner will boa most magnificent
sight, as the iron columns, glass and
terracotta will form a tower 97 feet
high, surmounted with a beautiful
clock, all finished in the most exquis
ite style of architecture.
The other floors will have largo
plate glass wind ws both front and
-He. Ifhc.so, with one • _ ,> -
light, wm give perfect HgTft
out the wboie building. All to be
finished with elevator and modern
improvements of every kind.
The building of this enormous and
costly structure by a mercantile
firm speaks well for our city from a
business standpoint. As every one
knows that by energy and perse
verance this firm has succeeded in
building up a trade far in excess of
the present facilities of our city, and
as they say, a more spacious building
and one more in keeping with their
style of business is an absolute ne
cessity, and as they were forced to
build they determined on the best,
believing it to be cheapest in the
long run. This building when fin
ished will be as handsome a store as
can be found in the United States,
not excepting Chicago or New York,
and being ou the very highest point
on Whitehall it can be seen for
miles, and will be the pride ot that
portion of the city.
With the Gate City Bank, the
Chamber of Commmerce, the court
house, the new capitol, etc., with the
magnificent Palace Store of Cham
berlin, Johnson Sc Cos., this part of
Atlanta will have reason to be proud,
as in no other space of same size will
there he as much money in brick and
mortar.
We hope to say more concerning
this magnificent building when we
arc permitted to see in place the
modern styled furniture, and under
the beautiful electric lights examine
the exquisite tints imported by them
direct from the mills in France and
England; in the meantime will say
that the secret of success is to suc
ceed.
MR. FtLTON'S REFORMATORY
PRISON BILL.
The following are the main feat
ures of Representative Felton’s bill,
which provides for the establish
ment of a state reformatory prison.
In this prison shall be confined all
male convicts under 18 years of age,
and all female convicts, whose sen
tence is for a term ionger than
three months.
The prison is to be managed by
five trustees, two of whom shall be
practical farmers and one a physi
cian. The trustees shall be appoint
ed by the governor, and their com
pensation shall be 8300 per annum.
They shall have full control of the
prison, with power to appoint the
necessary officers and to remove
them, or to prosecute them for any
act that is in violation ot the laws.
They shall have authority to hold
property in trust for the prison and
to sue for claims due it.
They shall have power to pur
chase an improved farm of not less
than suo nor more than 1,000 acres,
and to erect all necessary buildings.
The buildings shall not cost more
than 815.000.
The trustees shall appoint a gen
eral superintendent who shall have
a yearly salary 81,000, and who shall
reside on the farm and manage it
under the direction of the trustees.
The trustees shall appoint a physi
cian, a chaplain and a suitable num
ber of overseers and guards. At
hast two of the overseers shall be
capable of teaching, and shall be re
quired to teach the juvenile convicts
j the elementary branches of an
I English education. The trustees
! shall fix the compensation of all
their appointees except that ot the
superintendent.
The convicts shall perform the
farm work under such rules and
regulations as the trustees shall
make. All punishment inflicted on
the convicts shall be in the presence
of the superintendent, and it shall
not be excessive or cruel.
When the governor shall have an
nounced that the prison is ready to
receive convicts the judical officers
shall sentence to it such conviuets
as the law provides shall be received
by it. The superintendent shall
make reports as often as they may
be required of the affairs of the pris
on and farm, and the trustees shall
make semi-annual reports to the
governor of all matters relating to
the condition and management of
the prison.
After the female convicts pass the
age of 18 they shall receive only
moral and religious instructions, but
remain in the prison until they
serve out their sentences. When
the juvenile male convicts have
passed the age of 18 the trustees, at
their discretion, shall deliver them to
the convict lessees or otherwise dis
poso ef them as the laws in existence
may direct.
When a juvenile convict has been
sentenced the superintendent shall
bo notified and shall convey the
convict to the prison, receiving only
actual expenses for his trouble.
The sum ot 830,000, or so much
thereof as may be needed, is appro
priated to carry out the act.
The bill is not complicated, and if
passed will doubtless be sufficient to
accomplish the purpose aimed at.
In practice it may prove to be, in
some respects, faulty, but its faults,
whatever they may prove to be,
can readily be remedied, doubtless,
by amendments. The committee to
which it has been referred will
perhaps improve it in some respects.
DIXIE.
The south, despite its wonderful
progress in every direction, has
never yet had a magazine distinc
tively its own. Within the last tew
years the need of a high-toned
monthly publication that was “of
the South, from the South and for
the South,” has been apparent.
Realizing this fact, a company has
been formed in Atlanta, and about
the 15th day of August next will
appear anew monthly magazine, to
be called “Dixie: Its Resources, its
Development.” The periodical will
be ably edited, and in its list of spe
cial cb ll \ o*a will be found 4,he
names of neaiuy all the Southern
writers now living. The table of
contents for the first number is es
pecially attractive. Mr. Donald
Aylesworth Baine will write ab mt
the “Moonshiners of North Can jina
and Georgia,” and his article w,i 11 be
finely illustrated. Mrs. Ely.abeth
Winslow Allerdice, the Virginia
authoress, has a poem, “Ou r Land ot
Dixie,” and Mr. Glias. 11. Wells
contributes the first of a series of
articles on the “Forests / the South.”
There will be a fine portrait of Col.
A. R. Andrews (president of the
Western North Carolina Railroad,
and assistant president of the Rich
mond and Danville) with an inter
esting sketch ot his life and career,
by Mr. S. Badger, of Raleigh. Sam
uel Nobles, founder of Anniston,
Ala., will write on the Tariff Ques
tion fr un a Southern capitalist’s
standpoint. Several funny cartoons,
nv C. A. David, of South Carolina
caricaturist, will add to the interest
of the journal. There will be ably
edited and ipartments, giving a resume
of all matters pertaining to Southern
progress and development. The
magazin j will he elegantly printed
and illustrated. No sample copies
sent free! The subscription price
has been fixed at 82 a year ; single
copies, 20 cents. All orders and
communications should be addressed
to “The Dixie Company, Constitu
tioY; Building, Atlanta, Ga., Inas
much as the magazine is gotten up
entirely as a Southern enterprise, it
deserves the encouragement of all
who can afford to subscribe. Orders
should be sent in at once as the first
edition of 25,000 will probably be
exhausted early. Information con
cerning the establishment ot new
mills, factories or “enterprises” of
any kind is earnestly solicited by the
ed itors.
The recent great tornadoes in
Minnesota and Wisconsin came
from the southwest, thus observing
the general course of tornadoes
in this country. There is only
one month free of them, Jan
uary, but October and November
are very nearly free of them. The
storm of February 19, of last year
was one of the most destructive that
ever visited the country. It killed
800 people, wounded 2.500 more, left
10,000 to 15,000 homeless and caus
ed a money loss of from §3,000,000
to 84,000,000. It was worse than an
important battle. The width of the
tornado path last year varied from
75 to 5,280 feet, the average being
1,037 feet, and the average length
3G miles, although many are only
two miles long. Cyclones are par
ticular about the hour of their visits,
never coming befor 3 o’clock in the
afternoon and rarely later than 7
o'clock.

STREET PREACHING.
Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine.
Going through the Associated
Press is the announcement that two
Evangelists have been arrested in
Boston for preaching the Gospel on
the streets. It is said to be against
the law in Boston and New York to
hold religious services on the public
thoroughfares. Without moslesta
tion razor-strop men and qnack-med
icine venders may gather their aud
iences, but if a man with no idea of
personal gain dare to take a stand
on a drvgoods-box and tell the story
of Christ and heaven, he is a crimi
nal. Now I have to say if there is a
li\w forbidding Gospel proclamation
on the streets, while the venders of a
new st3 T le of soap or preparation for
mending broken dishes may by the
hour harangue the people on the
street corners, then it is time that
the law was changed. The Christian
people of our cities have submitted
too long to tnis invasion of their
rights. Who ever heard of any dam
age done by preaching Christ on the
streets. If our cities are ever to be
redeemed and our abandoned popu
lation reformed it will be by this
evangelism on the wing. The ma
jority of the inhabitants of Boston
and Brooklyn will not come inside
the churches. If the Gospel do not
meet these outside on the street it
will never meet them at all. We
have got to get back to the way it
was done when John Wesley and
the Fletchers and George Whitfield
prcactied in the open air. This sum
mer there ought to be a camp-meet
mg on every street of every city' in
America. The world is dying for
lack of it. Christ says as of old: “Go
out into the highways and the hedg
es.” The founder of our Christiani
ty preached the most of His sermons
outside of synagogue and consecrated
buildings. The model sermon of the
centuries had Mount Olivet for a pul
pit. It is all right that we have our
neatly appareled assemblages on the
Sabbath, seated in cushioned pews
under adorned rafters. But are the
decorous worshipers thus gathered
to be the only* ones who shall get the
advantage of that gospel which is
the world’s necessity ? I call upon
the Christian lawyers of these cities
to report on this question, and by
wise organization move for the re
peal of any statue that runs into the
face of our glorious Christianity. By
recent canvass of the City of Phila-
delphia to discover the truthfulness
or falsity pi the charge that the at
torneys </" that city were nearly all
antagonistic to the Christian relig
iou, it.was found out that nine-tenths
of tlvem were either members of
churches or respectors of religion.
Buj-oly wo may claim for our city
t/early all the legal talent as being
on Christ’s side, and we appeal to
these men of the Bar and Bench to
see to it that there shall not be a
point where it shall be a criminality
for a man to tell our dying popula
tions the way out of their sorrows
and sins. The time will come when
our churches will be only the head
quarters or the war barracks from
which we shall send forth the good
soldiers of Jesus Christ to do battle
everywhere, instead of being, as
many of our churches are, select
Pullman cars to take a few through
passengers, sound asleep, to the
Grand Union Depot of the celestial
city. lam jealous, more than I can
tell, of this attempt to stop street
preachings. It cost too much to es
tablish religious liberty in this coun
try to have it interfered with. Go
into all the world and preach this
Gospel, say r s Christ—into the facto
ry, the engine-house, the club-room,
into the dark lane and the wide
thoroughfare. Let every man, wo
man and child in these cities know
that Jesus died arid that the gato of
heaven is wide open. With the Bi
ble in one pocket and the hymn
book in another pqcket and a loaf
of bread under your arm, go forth,
and woe he to the law that forbids
the fulfillment of your magnificent
mission. The trouble is, we are try
ing to save this world in our own
way as dictated by severest proprie
ties. If we have not the newest
style of rifle we won’t shoot, and if
we have not the best style of rod
and reel we won’t fish. We will
have to get down off our stilts and
give up our finical and fastidious no
tion about the way things ought to
be done, and, utterly reckless of ev
erything but the results, go ahead to
do our whole duty. Here we are in
the evening of the Nineteeth Cen
tury and vast multitudes about us
as ignorant of their necessities as
though the angels had never chant
ed over the Saviour’s birth and the
foundations of the world had not
quaked at his martyrdom. God
grant that the work may go on at
such increased ratio that the four
teen and a half 3*ears that yet re
main of this centu ry may’ see the
world’s disinthrallment. We may
be nearer than we think to the sun
burst of the millenium.
The Constitution sa3*s the national
cotton planters’ association offers
8200,000 in premiums to be paid in
1886 and 1887. The great object of
the premiums is to encourage better
methods in agriculture, but the3* will
not be wholK given for the best re
sults in crops now known to be
suitable to the south. Some will be
given for improvements in fencing,
gates, houses for stock, barns for
grain, gins, improved machinery
for handling cotton and other crops,
better appliances for manufacturing
products from these crops, and final I3*
for new and improved grades of
domestic and farm animals and
stock. The offering of such pre
miums and the general interest
taken in them shows which way the
south is drifting. Asa section we
are moving away from polities to
wards better farming and business
enterprises.
