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 v.tvis five ami three-quarter million ) Ufi.es. The yield of the past seasou r '(Sfc.lied nearly seven millions.

The.** A***, beett an astonishing developnuAf mineral resources, agriculture, mu l *' faettires ami trade, and this matei i progress has been attended with * j corresponding ndvanee in the social. ' 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. Paliahlag Ik, Wrong End.

About Boy. who Brisk sud the tJIrl. they Worry. [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.

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.” “So your hnshand is a contractor In what particular line is he?” “Jo the debt line.” “In the debt linoF* “Yes; he has contracted about $,- 000 worth ot debts during the last tw*> years.

The water in Die Chattahoochee is so low that it doesn’t tun over the dam of tlie Eagle aud Plueuix mills while they are running. The scarcity of water in Mitchell county Is distressing. Some families have logo great distances to get wa ter. The like was never known be fore. The Early County News: “We learn that cattle are dying in the Spring Creek neighborhood for want of water. This is terrible to think about.” The negro thief killed by Sheriff Hurst of Thomas county last Wednes day, is said fo be the third man that officer has killed uuder such circum stances. Banks county, Ga,, has a justice of the peace who has hold office eight years, and lias never tried a ease ;he always get the litigants lo com proin ise. The dry weather lias actually be come alarming in Emanuel. The fall term of the Superior Court will have to be adjourned for the lack of water. Mr. Ira Miller, of Hancock, recent ly lost by fire his gin house, two gins, eight bales of cotton and five or six roils of bagging. It is thought that Die fire was dropped from a pipe.

They are among our most worthy young ladle >, and have other accomplishments that our city ladies might be proud of.— Pike County News. 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 Jack Waldrop. Cole without any 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 lor, who delivered their prisoner lo Deputy Sheriff Henry Ward. Coro ner Mitchell was notified and at once held an inquest. After hearing the evidence tho jury relumed a verdict that the deceased came to his dealii from a knife in the It tuds of Lee Cole, and that tho crime was murder. The prisoner was brought to this place and jailed. The Atlanta Constitution lias the following: “In (lie case of McKinley vs. the Arkansas, Topeka and Santa JPe Ilailroad, a verdict for the plaintiff for SSOO was rendered. The action by Ucjlyiuley against tho railroad com pany vfji.one of tlio results of tho At lanta Gillian Ex position. Everybody who visited yie observed tho big display,pf.cereals and miner als by the aforesaid railroad company. Among the cereals was ijtccelebrated castor bean, which grows profusely In Kansas, and tlia renowned Norwe gian oats. When tho Exposition closed the railroad row puny uti nouuccd its determination to sell Ihe i products comprising its exhibit rather! than carry them hack, McKinley owned a good team of mules, ami thinking the oporlnuily for a purchase! of liis winter’s liv'd had arrived, bought quite a quantity of oats. Af ter feeding his mules on the oats they died, and as the castor bean is not “healthy” in its crude stale, the com plainant alleged . that with l ho oats was mixed the bean and that they produced the liis quadrupeds. It was for the recovery of the value of the mules that tlfff suit was instituted.” Aiu: Till: FUNETS INHABITED! Professor McFarland, after a full discussion of the probabilities of the existence of sentient life on the plan ets, thus sums up his conclusions: That the four large outer plancls have not sufficiently cooled down lo allow life oil their surface, such as we see on the earth ; that Mars gives all telescopic and s|iectroscopic probabili ties of conditions compatible with life as we see it; that the earth cer tainly for millions of years has been covered with multifarious life; that of Venus and Mercury we have no certain knowledge; ami that the sat ellites are pretty certainly not filled for such life as is on (lie earth; that iu particular, our moon lias no water alia no atmosphere, consequently no climate or vegetable life.
