DIXIE’S FUTURE BRIGHT.
THIS YEAR'S FAILURES ONLY 2.088
AGAINST 3.241 IN 1801.
A Total of 021 New Establishments
Started During the Past Three
Months "Unusual Activity In Every
Line of Industrial Enterprise Re
ported”—Money to Be More Plec -
tiful.
Baltimore , Md., Dec. 29.—The number
of new industrial enterprises organized and
established in the south during the year
1892 is shown by the Manufacturers'
Staord of this week to be 2,68", as compared
with 3,241 during the year 1821. During
the last three months 021 new establishments
have been started against 564 during the
preceding three months.
in commenting upon the showing made
by these figures the Manufacturers' Record
says: "The decrease does not indicate a
depressed condition in the south nor can it
be taken as evidence of any retrograde
movement in southern industrial interests.
On the contrary, there is unusual activity
in every line of industrial enterprise in the
south at the present time and every
Indication points to a degree of
aol.ivity daring the coming year greater
than has sver been known. The settlement
of vexatious political issues, the greater
amount of cash which the present ootton
crop is yielding to the producers, the
greater abundance of money and
more extended credit in the south and
the aotivity and prosperity which
mark every branch of industry in that sec
tion, are conditions upon which the course
of affairs in the south during the year 1893
will depend. With conditions as favorable
as these are generally recognized to be,
there can be no doubt of the very promising
prospects which lie before the south at this
time. Every condition needful for success
ful business in the south exists at present,
and the year 1892 closes with a very satis
factory record of progress that has been
made under trying clroumstances and with
brilliant prospects for the oomiug year.”

Without Paying His Bills.
Atlanta, Ga., Deo. 29.—Several weeks
ago Dr. F. M. Crosby, a man reoognized in
the show and theatrical business in various

great flourish of trumpets and an unlimited
supply of oatchy poster paper. It was

ATLANTA'S HOME.
An Attempt to Be Made to Make Ite
Acceptance a Political Issue
Atlajita Ga., Deo. 29.—The fight for
the acceptance of the soldiers’ home by the
state has not yet been given up, as was
thought when the last session defeated the
bill. Advocates of the home agree that if
the issue be properly presented before the
people of ( reorgia in the election of the
next legislature, a majority of that body
will be returned pledged to vote for the
acceptance of the home. It is proposed to
make the acceptance of the home the one
main issue before the people in the selection
of the next legislature, and to that end to
make a thorough canvass of the state
from the mountains to the sea,
which will be conducted by the most brill
iant and eloquent public men in Georgia.
Gen. I*. M. B. Young and Rev. Sam Small
have already announced that they will
stump the state in the interest of acoepting
the home, and other able and eloquent gen
tlemen will swell the list of speakers who
will give their time and influence to crys
tallize the vote to eleot a legislatur, Juledged
to accept the home for the old soldiers. The
trustees of the home. Col. Lowndes Cal
houn, Col. R. D. Spalding, Samuel Intnan,
Maj. M. C. Kiser, Gen. Philip Cook, Cai>t.

idea of a thorough canvass of the state with
a view to securing a majority of the next
legislature pledged to vote for the accept
ance of the home, and it is said that a ma
jority of the trustees will foroe a fight on
this linn at tba next meeting to bo held in
January.
AN AVALANCHE OF LAWYERS.
Over 100 to Appear in the New Bear
ing In the hyan Caee.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29.—The application
of Stephen A. Ryan for trial by jury on
the oontempt feature of the famous case In
whioh he is the star actor, was called for a
hearing before Judge Clarke in chambers
this morning. After argument on both
sides the court finally held that all creditors
were entitled to appear as parties to the ap
plication, this being the main point con
tested tor, and further hearing was put off
until next Saturday. Ryan’s attorneys ob
jeoted to allowing the creditors to appear in
the cos*, but insisted that the receiver only
be reoognized, as It would take a great while
to get through with the point involved
—Ryan's right to trial by jury—there being
100 lawyers representing various creditors.
If they were allowed to appear the case
would go down in record as a parallel to
“Jarndyoe vs. Jarndyce.” The court,
however, expressed the belief that all the
creditors were entitled to a voice in the
question, and when the bearing is continued
next Saturday the array of legal talent that
will assemble will doubtless lie remarkable.

down to 28° and thia morning ice was found
three-sixteenths of an inch thick. The frnet
resembled snow and it covered even the
tops of the tallest treei, while tho roofs of
the houses looked as if they bad just been
whitewashed. The ground was frozen a
quarter of an inoh deep and vegetables were
simply bunches of hoar frost, tbe color not
beiDg visible through it. What the dam
age may be no one can toll until the day is
some further advanced. However, the let
tuce in bead in the fields much of it was cut
and crated yesterday) ami tbe young straw

PUT BULLETS INTO EACH OTHER.
A Negro Dead and a White Man Apt
to Dia as the Rusult cf a Row.
Gainesville, Fla., Dec. 29.—Another
shooting affray occurred in town last night
between John Hughes, a white man, and a
negro named Coleman, hailing from the
phosphate works. What the two were
doing or what provoked the assault no one
knows. The locality in the southeast part
of the city, near the Florida Central and
Pennlnsuia depot, is a very unsavory one.
Coleman received a wound in the
stomach, from which he died dur
ing the night. Hughes was shot
iu the arm with a 38-caliber
Winchester rifle, the bail shattering tho
bone of his arm and entering bis side, in
flicting a serious if not fatal wound. Hughes
is a brother of Frank Hughes, an attorney,
and an orator for tho People's party during
the last campaign. Policemen John Fea Ul
ster and Warren were the first on the ground
and secured the rifle, no arrest being made
at both parties were for the time /tors de
combat. Coleman was a Georgia negro
and is said to be a bad man, as all negroes
are who get killed, it seems, and, for that
matter white men, too. Drs. Hodges and
Lancaster attended the wounded men.
