'! ho Now Soul li.* ..•]'!i. Now South, *’ as the Southern < : ito> have lately been designated, may . , typified as an old jnan who, having r, ovored the Fountain of Eternal lU t!i (sought for so long and vainly by. be Leon and his enthusiastic fol |• lV ;. and tasted of its magic waters, * forth with the vigor of youth and Hush of its promise and stands be the world a new man, with new „ . new desires, new opinions, new luiions. He has left behind the tra . uis of the past: he has east aside the aments of prejudice, of false pride, ; oietical race supremacy, and, look forward, sees anew goal before him J( strive for, to obtain and enjoy. \ n ,i so th<- New South stands forth to . eltgllenging the admiration of her , . i States who htive been more ener in the past, and getting from then] tl>,i secret of success which is comprised m one sentence of two words, “home pro .l i t ion." whether from the soil, the mill , : the factory. In the past the South : from the North the fabrics of its , .jib; from the West the breadstuff* and , nynin needed for man and beast. Was • the soil of the South was una |,|(. to produce crops and because there y V ;(s no mineral wealth or water power to sustain the whirring wheel? Nay, not there was a time inside of five decades when the fifteen Southern States* pro duced 59 per cent, of the corn crop of the ; nion. And corn was king over cotton in the South. But the king transferred his tli roue and sceptre to the great North v st, and cotton reared its white shrine u ,>n a black foundation m its stead. The products of the fields were shipped to where the water from a thousand c;.Mins ran down bleak New England hillsides, and the manufactured product . nt ha- k at figures covering the cost of aiisportation one way as raw material, nnotlieras manufactured goods, and also • . double commission for the middle man who stood between. * * * * * Then mine the war.

But about twenty years ago Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe went d"wi, to Florida and performed for that tail', flowery State what Charles Nordhoff did for Southern California. The land of flowers became the land of oranges. To C ; glowing energy Florida to-day owes Inc reputation, not for oranges alone, 1 bough these may be considered the kuder of the long list of luscious gifts of loot-Uev nature to those who till her bos om in the semi-tropical climate of the Cult States. Read over the list of but a bw of theleadingfmitH that bring wealth tc the coffers of many thousands of fruit growers in Florida, while health waits 011 those who seek her climate: the citron, hauana, pineapple, cocoanut, date, pain*, 4 : i tva, sugar apple, pomegranate, liian- I>c;ir. plum, peach,,apricot, nectarine, giape, fig. What a royal procession. And this is not confined to Florida Cciiie. Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Lhcorgia, and, indeed, all the Southern jp’Wes, are making rapid advancement r & this healthy line of soil culture. Who ° un fix the ultimate boundary of this de velopment? The transformation of Backless pine woods into orange bow l !s . citron groves, pineapple plantations, banana farms, and what not?” There is : Ilow “no Southern State in which fruit Bi-dug is not more or less prosecuted as a vocation,” and the industry is but in s early stage of development. * * * ’l'fie railroad, of course, in the South, in the West, is the great factor in the development of the resources. Without ffic railroad these resources, vast and valuable though they may be, would be Hectically of no benefit where they elitn ,l;de<l from the landscape, which, how cvcs fair it be, brings no grist to the mill ( industry. Millions upon millions of <J "fiars of home and foreign capital have fi'Ti: invested in the laying of rails and I '‘lining-of oars. The mileage in 1880 was than 1,900, costing $080,000,000; i" bSSG it had increased to 35,000, at a :,s t of 81,300,000. Texas has been the tFi'Uoinenal State in this line. Eight b irs ago only 2,007 miles were within borders; in June, 1887, there were 1 -64 miles, and at least 1,000 more can b“ added to the total to date. “The ' He of confidence in the South's prog , ,J ' S F enunciated in the golden argument ot capital, and is voiced in the fierce l!

And these roads are bands of iron to bind our Fnion in the bonds of an indissoluble fraternity, and the cogency of common interest is added to the kindliest friendship. But we must pause. In this brief paper we can only hint at the vast possi bilities opening up before the New South with its fair warm skies, its fruitful soils, its vast mineral wealth and natural water power. A close study of the book which has formed the text of this article will show the New. South, its resources and attractions in such a light as will demonstrate beyond question that Mr. Hillyard, in selecting the name ot his book, though it be, perhaps, a hackneyed phrase, has made it as significant to the nation at large as the name Great West has been when applied to our section of the country. The book is one to ponder over, to study; its tone is healthy and vigorous; its conclusions are irrefutable. It should have wide circulation. *An editorial review in the Denver Journal of Commerce of “TheNew South; Its Resources and Attractions.” By. M. B. Hillyard. Published by the Manufac turers' Record Company, Baltimore, Maryland. Tlu* Latest Whopper. Pittsburg Times. A strip of country in the southwestern part of Potter county, in this State, is known as Black Forest. In the south ern part of the forest is an immense blacksnake den. Some that have been killed measured 11 feet. They are of the constrictor species, and not poisonous. Last week Charles Wolfling, a black smith, and a friend saw one stretch itself across the road. On attacking him it wound itself about Wolfiing's body and pinned one ofhiwarmsto his side. His riglit arm was free, and he seized the huge snake by the neck with his right hand and shouted to his companion to come to his aid. The latter hurried back, and while Wolfling held the blacksnake’s head at arm's length his companion beat it with a club until it relaxed its coil about the blacksmith and was killed. The snake, which is now being prepared for shipment to the Smithsonian Insti tute. measured 14 feet and 8 inches, and s believed to be the largest of its kind ever killed. IRY IT ON OK.
