RISE OF THE SOUTH.
AN INCREASE OF $041,000,000 IN
FOUR TEARS.
A Splendid Compliment to the New
Orleans Tinei-benocrst.
[New York Herald.]
Our enterprising Southern contem
porary, the New Orleans Times-Dem
ecrat, has rendered a valuable service
not only to the South, but to the en
tire country. In its issue of October
20, it gives a thorough and carefully
prepared review of sixty teeming
columns, showing the industrial con
dition of twelve Southern States to
day, and tlio progress that has becu
made in them siucc the national cen
sus was taken. The States are Vir
ginia, North Caroliua, South Caroli
na, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Miss-
issippi, Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Arkansas. The facts
and figures were obtained from the
governors of those States and other
official sources. The completeness
and substantial accuracy of the infor
mation are vouched for by the journal
which gives it to the public.
For ail practical purposes the re
port may be taken as anew industrial
census of the South. It tells a mar
velous story of present prosperity and
recent progress The material growth
of the South was rapid during the de
cade preceding the last census year.
According to the report of Die Times-
Democrat, the progress of the past
four years is greater than that of the
preceding ten. Taka the item of the
; assessed value of property a* showing
ithe increase of material wealth. In
11879, the year to which the figures of
4he Federal census apply, the aggre
gate assessment in the twelve Soutli
•cru.States above named was two bil
llioa.oue bundled and eiglity-lbur mil
iliun fullars. It is now two billion
eiiglit hundred and twenty-five mil-
I touts. tViis shows the enormous iti
cruwciuiduiir years of six hundred
and million dollars, or be
itwecu a hulf.ftud three-quarters of a
Lillion. At-.ihe .same time there has
tbeeu a materiulyrtducliou in the rate
•of taxation, whire. .liberal appropria
ttious have been made for schools,
public improvements and other useful
purposes. “Nor is the inarvcllousad
vance in valuation,” says the Times
lX-iNoeraf. “the result of any inflation
in value, but the natural sequence of
grand crops, new industries devel
oped, uew manufactures, mines nud
lumber mills established. ’
The progress in railroad building is
equally striking. Iu the twelve States
which we have euutuerafled the mile
age of the railroads iu 18711 was sev
enteen thousand. It is uow twenty
six thousand, showing au addition of
nine thousand miles to the rail-road
system of these Southern Stales in
four years, or more than two tliou
saud miles a year.
The cotton crop of four years ago

mineral resources, agriculture, mu l *'

progress has been attended with * j

political anil general welfare of Hits
Southern people.
The Herald was foremost among-
Northern pa|>crs to hail with satisfac
tion the era of political quiet and in
dustri&l activity that began to dawn
brightly upon the Southern Stales
when they began to emerge from the
tliralldom of the reconstruction peri
od, escaped the abuses of the carpet
bag rule, and passed into the govern
ing bands of their osvn people. We.
have repeatedly dwelt upon the un—
.bounded natural resources ot that part
<t the country and have ever regarded
aujv progress toward their develop
mtvgf as a cause for national congrnl
ulsiimt. The SeiUli has always been
one of the richest spots of the earth ilk
resources; it was long one of the*
poorest in development. In its rare*
advantages of soil and climate it ha*<
the sources and means of a great na
tional wealth and prosperity. It has>
the cotton field of the world withim
its borders and all the natural advan
tages for manufacturing this great
staple. It has the conditions ol soil
and climate for Ihc extensive produc
tion of sugar, molasses, rice, tobacco,
tropical fruits and general farm crops.
It has valuable forests and rich min
erals; abundance of fuel and water;
advantages for atock raising and
grape culture. In short, it has ex
ceptional resources for advancing to a
foremost place in agriculture, manu
factures and commerce.
These facts are daily becoming more
known and appreciated, not only in
the South but throughout the North.
The Atlanta exposition brought the
Northern and Southern people to
gether and gave the world a better
knowledge of the great resources of
the South. The fruits of that enter
prise appear in the striking progress
which has since been made. The ex
hibition new in progress in Louisville
will serve the same good ends, while
still more valuable results are prom
ised by the World’* Industrial Expo
sition to be held in New Orleans next
year. The tide of Southern prosperity
which set in hut a few years ago is
steadily rising, and there is every
sign that it will continue to rise. The
(southern people have gained every
thing and lost nothing by turning
from political turmoil to industrial
activity. With slavery they never
could have advanced to their present
state of prosperity. Their gain of
material wealth more than offsets the
loss of their slaves. The country has
every reason to rejoice over (he pro
gress the South is making. Increase
of Southern wealth is increase of na
tional wealth.

SOME SOUND ADVICE.
About Boy. who Brisk sud the tJIrl.

[Pick'. Sun ]
A mother who resides in a small
city in the North writes to know if the
editor of this paper can't say
something that wilt induce her daugh
ter to quit keeping company with a
man who gets drunk every tune he
takes the girl to a party. If a moth
er cannet sav anything that will in
duce licrdaiigliter to give up an es
cort wiio insults iter, a poor weak
uewspaper cannot do any good. The
girl lias got Die fever to bad, it she
will not break ott'an engagement with
such a young man. The girl should
look about her and make inquiries
and sec if she can find a case in the
experience of her friends where sucli
a young man ever made a decent hus
band. She will not find such at;we,,
The mere faet of a young .
a girl to a party or a sleigh vide and
getting drunk and humiliating her,
and causing her to depend upon oth
ers for her escort home, is one evi
dence that he lias no respect l'or her,
aud she should break off her en
gagement and cut him entirely, If
she puts up with such insults now be
fore she Is married, when she is his
wife he is liable to leave her to lookout
for herself, and he will gct diai.uk from
habit. Twenty year* ago there were
hundreds of you tig fellows in this
State who thought it was smart Jo!
take respectable girt* ha datuces aud ;
get drunk, aud let the girts ride lioute,
with somebody who lospl itokrer. The
girls would be vexed at the time, hut
as (he bovs were rich, and weut in
good society the girls got to looking
upon the sprees as good jokes, and
they would laugh about it. We know
sonic of those girls to-day who are
earning a living for several little chil
dren bv hard work, while the smart
fellows' that got drunk have
filled drunkard's graves or
left their wives and are waader
crS ou the face of the earth. If a
young man loves a girl as he should
love her to marry her, a look of dis
approbation from her of any act ot
his will be enough to break hint of any
habit that he has that she dots not
like. If the words: “Please don’t
drink, Charley," from tie lips of Char
ley's girl arc uot enough to spoil his
appel iUttor benzine, “Farewell,Char
lev, forever/’ should be the next and
last remark sJ*e should ever make to
him. Marrviug an to reform him

THE GEORGIA
It is not too much to say, ***!,)l
Atlanta Constitution, that a Jr”.,),
railroad cannot be found iu the
than that which connects Atlanta
Augusta. Maj. John W. Greene t.
general manager, has worked upon
<t and improved it until it weuid
he hard, indeed, to [mint out a
single particular in which it could be
maun better. The track, of Hie best
steel, is as smooth as a die, and an or
dinary coach moves with delightful
smoothness over it. Recently at ths
Augusta shops have been built two
monster locomotives representing the
very latest inventions in locomotion.
For speed and strength no better ma
chines can be made, while every con
venience is attached to them. One of
the new points is an arrangement that
rings the hell by steam and saves the
fireman much labor. These engines
are for the fast mail trains, which fly
over 171 miles of road in five hours
and twenty minutes,making seventeen
stop* that occasion a loss of 40 to 50
minutes. Their running time is 42
miles an hour. These trains are un
der the eonductorsbipof Mr. L. Harry
Hill and Mr. Monroe Norman, two
gentlemen of great popularity on the
road. One of their companions on
the day iineis Captain Jim Purcell,
justly knownas a veteran of the bell
cord, after a faithful service on the
Georgia road of over thirty years.
The running department of the road
is in the bands of Mr. S. A Hemphill,
who has risen to this responsible po
sition through a long term of worthy
work in the company’* service.
Oxxof those curious and amusing
typographical errors which creep in
to newspapers, despite the diligence
of even the most lynx eyed proof-read
er, appears in a San Francis* paper,
which meant to say that “Judge
Thomas exchanged benches with
Judge Scoit yesterday,” but the cruel
types made it read “Judge Thomas
exchanged breeches with Judges
Scott yesterday.”

Douglasville Star: Oil Thursday
night there was a gathering ut the
grocery of W. T. Britten, about four
miles from Villa lliea. There was
some boxing and wrestling among the
crowd. In this were Lee Cole and

provocation or warning, drew a knife
and plunged it into Waldrop’s neck,
entirely severing the jugular vein.
Waldrop turned and walked about 12
or 15 steps and fell dead. After Cole
committed the crime lie walked off in
tlio direction of his home, and was ar
rested by John Winn and Jerry Tay
