NORRIS Writes Some Interesting Facts About the Year just Closed and Points to the Wonderful Progress the South is Now Making. The year 1902 has passed’into history, and considering it from almost every standpoint, it has been the most pros perous year in the annals of the South. White cotton is still crowned king, yet it does not reign with the same auto eratie sway that it did a deeade ago. For the last quarter of o century the South has made greater strides in industrial expansion following the era of railroads, the dawn of which os n factor in human progress was scarcely more than a generation ago. .During this period human genius and industry have been striving to open now avenues for the creation of greaith, until today many channels of diversified industry have been opened "'and developed until ft is the wonder of the world, and is attracting universal attention. It is quite expensive to invent, im prove and apply machinery to the successful manufacturing of any raw material. While the South lias contrib uted with a generous hand to the useful inventions of the world; yet England and the New England states have been manufacturing cotton and other prod ucts the past thirty years, while the South was compelled to apply all of her energies and resources to the re- of building her waste places, caused by the merciless and cruel hand of war during 1961-65. The millions of dollars other sections have sjppt in learning td construct railroads, to make iron and steel implements and mgcUtaary, !ws. to manufacture cotton, and cotton seed oil, how to extract gold from the ores, nil at the lowest cost. The South lms come upon the field of human industry and activity, and inherits all that science and art' have accomplished without passing through the expensive experience other sections have had to pass through. With the many natural advantages the South possesses over other sections, and with the strong financial backing of the South, and tiie pluck, skill and the unrivaled energy of her people, does not only make the South a keen rival and competitor to other sections in manufactories and commerce but the leader of them all. The South can accomplish in ten yenrs what it has taken other sections fifty years to do. The economic changes in the financial world, and the revolution ary influences of modern Inventions— are forcing the manufacturing interests of the world to the place of cheapest production—anil that place is where the raw material is found in the greatest quantity and most cheaply turned into the finished product. Tills means that the South is to soon become the greatest manufacturing country in the world. The attention of the business world is now centered and fixed upon the 8outh. The financial leaders of the world who really dictate the courso of investments in this and other countries, are now centering their efforts and energies upon the upbuilding of the South, and the tide of population is flowing toward this section as never before. The speedy construction of the Nitftragiian canal will revolutionize the world’s commerce in favor of the South and bring about a marvelous change in our icctiou never dreamed of by the must visionary inhabitant. Cuba and the Wq.t Indies, now free, will Increase their trade with the South. Mexic, our next door neighbor, Is fast develop ing into a great empire, the South will get the best benefits from our relations witli Mexico. South American republics are having revolution after revolution What does nil that mean? It means nil of South America is.going to be developed in n wonderful degree at once; and Uncle Snm wilt see to it,- Hint the “Monroe Dji-trinc’’ will be rigedty enforced; nnd the South will receive vast quanti ties of trade from Mexico, Cuba and South America, that will surpass our trade with European countries in the past. As tiie trade passes from Canada and the Northern states to Cuba, Mex ico and South America, it will all pass through our section, and tho trade from these southern countries com- back to them, our section will bo benefited “gw inn and coming.” Vienna located on two great railroads, one extending to a grert Atlantic port and th* other with Jacksonville and Tampa, one conneotlhg Vienna with the great west and- the other the north and east; surrounded by a great agrl cuiturinl country, with an enterprising population, Vienna Is destined to be come a city df no mean name. We hope Vienna will buy up all the good places to' build factories and mills upon in Vienna, and give these lots to people who will erect factories and mills upon them, and exempt every one of them from taxation for five years. Valdosta is doing this, and it would pay Vienna to do it too". When other citiet l offer such inducements to cupital and labor, and Viennndoes nothing to induce them to come—they will just pass us by. We do not suppose there are many persons who would object to this proposition, so wo will hot discuss the point. We cannot close this article without naming a few things that has added to Vienna’s progress during the past year. The A. & B. railroad, the oil mill, the electric lights for the city, the organiz ation of a fire company, the Dooly County Fair association, tho progress and growth of the Vienna ■ News, the stock law enforced, an Episcopal church erected, a new brick warehouse erected, East Pine street opened up, a better telephone system, the new mer cantile firm of Egleston & McDonald and others, many new and pretty homes erected, the very large trade of the &ty,th?.«lyaircemsnt of th. Vienna postoffice from a fourth-class officito a third class one, the establishment of tho City court of Vienna, the advance ment our school has made, the unity and good fellowship that prevails among all thp people of the eity, the new store of Lewis Bros. Co., and Mr. Moye’s store at the depot, -the firm of Thigpen & Moring, und Cross A Wil liams, nnd an unusually large number of marriages that have taken place in the eity. Grent progress will be made this year judging from the present outlook. J. D. Norris, From Near Pinehurst. Pinehurst, Go., Jan. 14—Another year is past and gone {another year has passed into that great unknown, arid 1908 is with us. We are neaier by one year tiie eternal home. The past year has been bright and prosperous lo many, but sad and un cheerful to others. If we have used our lives aright in the post we have something to be thankful for, and if we lmve not. if our lives have been ■pared, we still have that to be thank ful for. Life was not given to drag out in n mere existence, but fora noble purpose. There are many things to bo thank ful for in beginning the new year. One is thnt wo cannot look into tho future, for it is like a closed book. By bright pictures of imagination, Itu edges gleam with tiie golden tints of hope nnd expectation. We may strive with eager hands lo loosen its wonder- ous clasp. But it is all in vain; it is a task.wliich none but the hands of time can accomplish. May wo all remember tiie lesson we have been taught and . enter into the new year with a grave heart, doing all in our power to make tiie world better and to advnnce the developments of tiie year just closed, nnd ready tocxclsim: “Let everything that has brentli praise tiie laird." I wish the News and its readers suc cess the present year and hope our good 'editor may be blessed witli health and strength to carry on hi* noble work, and I wish all a happy new year, T. F. E.

Tlte A. & B. is coming and coming in a hurry, Friday morning nt 9 o’clock it was two and one-hall miles from the city and the work is being pushed rapidly. The railroad men are calculating on reaching the city limits by to night nnd will continue on into the city Monday night. One mile and twenty feet of track was laid Thursday. A large torce of men are at work on the road and all haste is being made to rush it through to comple tion. The people of Vienna are greatly interested in the work and many have went to the scene ’ of opera tions for inspection. The arrival of the track in Vien na will be accounted quite epoch in the city’s history. During all the numerous delays in the completion of the road on to this city the . people here have waited most impatiently for the obstacles which prevented its pro ceeding to be removed, and now that it is so near and will retch the ekydite am of next -v.evk 4ksy njl feet a sente of relief and quiet joy in the fact. All realize that this new road means much—very much—to Vienna und this section of sur rounding country. It means greater prosperity and a new era of enterprise and indue* trial development for this city nnd hence the arrival of the new road will be hailed with delight by all our people. With two railroads Vienna bound to receive grent benefit in a commercial sense, and we now look to a phenominal growth in ull lines of industry. Election ai Pinehurst.
