the floor and opposed tho bill on tho
ground that it w<v6 unconstitutional,

al principles. A member made tho
point of order that Mr. Branch was
speaking about everything else except
the bill. Tho chair decided tho point

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Tho Industrial Situation as Reported
for tlio Past Week.
Tho review of tho indnUrhil situation in tho
South for the pa«t week shows that the demand
for machinery ta somewhat incroANing; that a lar
ger number than usual of now mills, especially
lu tho flouring mill and lumber indu-tries, are
reported an in process of onction, and that
there is evidonco of a substantial revival of in
dustries in general. Tho favorable weather
that has prevailed throughout tho Southern
Mates for Hcveral weeks hua enable the orops to
bo gatborod in good condition, but prevailing
prices do not encourage farmers lo market them
on a large acalo. It seems to be generally bo-
lieved that there will be a large in arcane in tho
lumber output during the coming winter, as
stocks ou hand ut the mills are much reduced.
Bo far as can bo judged from prevailing con-
dilioiiH, financial and mercantile business is
steadily r- viving, and manufacturers generally
are increasing their outputs. Tho low prices
of ootton. coal, iron and the product a of iron
are now the only serious drawbacks to prosper
ity.
Thirty-flvo now industries wore established
or incorporated during tho week, together with
five enlargements of manufactories and nine
important now buildings. Among noticeable
new industries are tlio Htratton-Wbito Machino
Company, of Fort Wor li. Texas, capital $100,-

fttoa ; tho Hamilton Pa;m and Glnm Company,
