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 and probably build a soap factory ; fit Hogansviile, the Cotton Improve ment Company will build a fertili zer factory; 812,000 is reported as subscribed for anew grist mill in Athens; an agricultural machinery manufacturing company has been incorporated in Augusta; proposals are invited for building a railroad between Macon and Dublin; con tracts have been let for part of the grading of a road between Rome and Carrollton; a hosiery factory will increase its machinery, and ne gotiations are pending for the loca tion in that State of large iron works. Kentucky shows for the week a 85,- 000,000 mining company in corpora! ed at Louisville, a 850,000 saw. mill near Grayson, a 850,000 mining com pany at Jamison, a 50-barrel flour mill completed at Bowling Green, and two flour mills being remodeled and new machinery put in and one being rebuilt, while a 8500,000 com pany is spending 8200,000 in build „ig a railroad to open up now mines. In Louisiana there is con siderable activity, especially in the building of sugar mill and overhaul ing sugar machinery; a 885.000 ice factor}* and storage warehouse com pany has been organized in New Orleans, and a 812.000 fertilizer fac tory in the same place; a large 4- story soap factory has been con tracted for in Shreveport, and a sash and blind factory in the same city is under construction; a steam bag factory has been built and a large rice mill is being built in New Or leans, and at Donaldsonville an ice factory has been contracted for. Maryland has anew electric works company, a hose manufacturing company, and a flour mill undergo ing extensive repairs, while §200,000 has just been expended in enlarging a brewery. Mississippi has added to her industries a spoke and handle factory and 850,000 compress com pany. At Buffalo Paper Mill, N. u.. 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 already contracted to cut 1,500,000 feet of hard wood, and at Democrat mining operations will be pushed. In South Carolina there is anew 810,000 cotton seed oil mill company that will enlarge an old mill, two marble quarrying companies and a new fruit canning factory. Tennes see has in Nashville anew company, with a subscribed capital of 850,000, to manufacture crackers, and in the same city a site has been purchased for a 25 to 30-ton ice factory; at Daisy 200 coke ovens are being built and extensive improvements made to a coal mine; proposals for grad ing anew railroad are invited, and an official announcement is made that anew railroad to cost over 815,- 000,000 will be built in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. In Texas a 850,000 lumber company has organized at Waco, a compress is being built at Tyler, a 850.000 wa ter and gas company at Marshall; at Dallas work on the large cracker factory previously mentioned has been commenced; an elevator and feed mill are to be built in the same town; in Hardeman county smelt ing machinery is being received for the copper mines ot which Gen. McClellan is president, and at Abi lene a 825.000 flour mill is under construction. In Virginia a 87.500 flour mill is being built at Dauville. a 8150,000 union depot is to be put at Richmond, and plans for the 8300,- 000 city hall to be built at Richmond have been accepted: at Lynchburg bids are invited for the erection ot a 5-story brick and metal tobacco fac tory; at Hamilton a flour mill is be ing overhauled, and at Wilton an iron furnace repaired. In Wells -1 burg, W. Ya., work is to be com menced immediately on anew glass factory, a lumber railroad is to be built from Bueklmnnon, and a con ; tract has been let tor the eonstruc : tion of a railroad between Kingwood i and Tunnelton. Considering that the foregoing ! long list of new enterprises is simply . a summary of the leading features of [ a week’s progress as condensed from the Manufacturer s Record's weekly ' list of new manufacturing and tniu FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEOfiSftr.

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.” | Reports from the iate rain ton tin uo to be encouraging. 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. We beard of a squash in our coun ty the other da}', which was said to be quite as large as a half bushel measure. Did the grower of that squash manure his garden with yeast powders ? NEMBER 26. 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.
