I RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH, ti hHj; the Southern States Have to Show. Baltimore Sun.]. *’ The southern exposition, which will open at Louisville on theH -d >f August, while containing exhibits l'rom all. parts <t the Umtetl States, as well as from many forßlgti countries, will, as its name implies, be primarily devoted to display ing the resources t>f the'soft;h. The six teen states stretching from DeiawlSre to Texas and from Florida to Missouri, with their 1)00,000 square miles of surface and nearly, twenty millions of people, contain almost one-half of the sett’ed area Of the country and well-nigh two tftfhsiof its population. Slavery, the war and the political disorders of the re construction period all retarded the de vplopeinent of the maguiiloent natural resources of these states. Carrying such weights as these, it is no wonder that the -outh fell behind in the race of wealth, And It la iKit surprising that in propor tion to its population it can show but two dollars tor every live in the north and west; that the average resident of Mnsa c*uusettsi.+ four times as rich as his coun tryman iu Virginia, and .that, man ler n)tru, OMoc.m quadruple the wealth of URiOigia. Tiie bonds that "have so long rustricied the free" expansion of the ca ll teides of the south are at last broken, tod in the past live years there has been throughout all its borders a wonderful moyetieut in almost every branch of iq iteinal activity. It knows that it lias I. .st ground to make up, and it is earnesjt ly.addressing itself to the task. The notion’exposition at Atlanta in 1881 was a reveintFm to Cite world of the power that lay in the new south, and it is, con fidently predicted that the exhjfrition about to open at Louisville will have even inore*surpiies for those who have been brought up in the belief that to the south of Mason and Dixonjs' line‘there was a commercial Nazareth out of which there could come no good thing. Lt any display of resourses of the south its agricultural products and its agricultural systems are entitled to the place of honor. Nearly two-thirds of her employed population find tneir bread in the tilling of the fields. In the last census year the products of her farms amounted to more than $700,000,000, an average of about forty dollars for every 7 inhabitant. Of this aggregate more than one-third was represented by the value of the cotton crop. in the more dis tinctively cotton states, such as South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas, more than half the value of all the produce of their soil was in cotton. Iu her cotton lands the south has a perennial source of v ealth. In cotton she controls the mar kets of the world. No foreign competition has as yet been able to oven seriously threaten her supre macy. While her crop of the great sta ph; gets larger and larger, with increas it.g population here and elsewhere, her homers and planters are beginning to raise in addition many tilings which they were formerly in the habit of buy ing fiern their neighbors. Food supplies of td 1 sorts are now being raised on the farms of the progressive men of the scuih. In places convenient to means of rapid transportation land owners aie availing themselves of the advantages of fered by their more advanced seasons to r:;i-e early fruits and vegetables for the northern markets. Every resident of Ibhimore knows that tomatoes, straw berries and so on make their appearance in considerable quantities in our markets some weeks if not months earlier than v. as the case ten or twelve years. ago. Tin* industry, now in its infancy, is ca pable of almost indefinite expansion. r i he steadily growing city populations of the south will continually increase their demand for early produce, and the im provement in the means of transporta tion will reduce the cost of bringing the g irdan truck of Georgia and Carolina to the tables of New York aud Philadel phia. The crowded town that will s; ting up around the already forming manufacturing centres of the south will afford an eyen more certain and profita ble market. In Florida the raising of tropical fruits has become an important and extremely lucrative industry. So well has it paid that unimproved lands in the orange bolt now command prices that would buy ten times the number of acres in any of the neighboring states. Three years ago the value of the tropical fruits raised in Flor ida was nearly three-quarters of a mil lion, aud it must Since have greatly in creased. With the extension of railroad facilities the business must assume still larger proportions, and it is, perhaps, not too much to expect that the products of FI .rid i orchards will drive out of our markets the foreign fruits, which now cost ns something near eighteen millions a year. The reduction of the tax on tobacco can hardly fail to stimulate the cultiva tion of that great southern product. The cattle raising industries of Texas bid fair to become every day more lucrative and moft valuable. Hostile legislation’ abroad cun be but temporary. The demands of the poorer classes in European cities for flesh food must in the end prove too strong for the protectionist interest of the agricultural population. The wool pro duct of Texas has increased more than fivefold in the last ten years, and between 1870 and ISBO the wool dtp of the south bad advanced from 10,000,000 pounds to more thau 30,000,000. It would be useless to go through the long hue ot the products pf southern farm labor and dwell upon their present condition and their future prospects. But there are some chauges in the general system of agriculture that call for a pass- I iug mention. Wherever close cultivation i and varied crops will pay, the best re- CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9. 1883. suits are likely to be gained on small tracts of land, worked by their owners or renters, and the great increase in the number of the farms in the south, and the accompanying decrease in their acre age, are among the most promising fea tures in the present condition of that sec tion. The 700,000 southern farms of 1800 had become 1,840,000 in number iu 1880, while their average size had fallen from 320 acres to lot. A large part of the old southern farm, as a rule, remained un onllivuted; in this respect (here lias been a decided advance, tiie proportion of im proved land in farms having risen from 30 per cent, in 1800 to 37 per cent, iu 1880. Further improvement is necessary still to put the two sections of the coun try upon an equal footing, as in the north the improved land forms 00 per cent, of the farms. The completeness with which a farm is equipped with proper h and machinery has much to do with the prof its realized. The .south is making rapid progress in this direction, the value of machinery ip proportion ro the number of acres in farms having increased nearly 21 per cent, in the last decade, though it is still behind some other parts of the Union, the greater use of machinery in the north enables the same number of men to raise more vr.’usable crop's. Thus, though the south has 4.000,000 of people employed Ju agriculture a-ul the rest of the has but 3,500,0U>, the annual Value ot Ihe products oi th- iotm-r was only $.700,000,000 against $1,450,000,000 raised by the other section; or in other \yords, while in the north every person -engaged in agriculture raised on an aver age $414 worth of various crops, in the sputh a man’s labor only produced some SIOO. On the other hand, it must be re membered that tiie avtrge monthly wages in the south tor fan • labor, where the hand finds himself, i* but $lO, against $26 in the northern states. Gradually the most serious remaining drawback to the prosperity of the south is being removed. Every year more and more of its people are beginning to pay in cash for what they buy; the credit sys tem not unfrequently made the farmer pay two prices for all that he used. Land in the south is now held at little more than one-fourth the prices asked in the north, but its annual products, acre for acre, are more than hall as valuable. In such a state of affairs there should be a strong temptation to the it Insurious im migrant, whether he comes from foreign shores or from less favored portions of our own country. With laud at a fourth of the price it is elsewhere, the same la bor and the same skill will raise upon it crops nearly or quite as valuable. There will not much longer be a lack of a home market for products of every sort. The days when the bale of cotton raised in Soitth Carolina was carried to“MassaSnu setts to be manufactured and then re turned to its native state to be sold ate rapidly passing away. Tiie south is beginning to manufacture its own cotton. The enormous profits that have rewarded the enterprise of those who have already' embarked their capital in such enterprises is the best guarantee that they will find many imi tators. There are many reasons why cot ton goods can be more cheaply produced in the south than in New England. The cost of transportation to rad from the northern mill is saved. Already the New England manufacturers are making earn est appeals to the railroads to reduce the freight upon their materials and their products, but whatever favors the rail road companies may be disposed to show them, the cost of carrying the goods five hundred miles each wuiy must remain great enough to make all the difference between a large profit and none at all. In 1870 there were but 45,000,000 pounds.of cotton used iu the mills of the south, amt in 1880 there were 115,000,000 pounds. The rate of increase in some of the states was even greater. Georgia manufactured but 10,000,000 pounds in 1870, while in 1880 her mills consumed 33,000,000 pounds. The consumption in the manufactories of South Carolina rose during the decade from 2,000,000 to 15,000,000‘pounds. The expenses of living at the south are less, and as a consequence l abor is cheap er. In 1880 the average yearly wages in the northern manufactories were S3GO, and iu the southern only $256. It is quite possible that at the present time la bor in the south is, man for man, not as efficient as it is in the north, but it is rapidly becoming so. A widely dissemi nated and at the same time utterly base less delusion exists that the climate of the southern section renders continued active exertion impossible. Now it is doubtless true that there are certain limited areas in the coast region of the more southerly states that are too hot and moist for the health of the white man; but throughout by far the greater part of the south a man can work quite as hard as he can any where else. Large parts of Virginia and West Virginia have a mean annual tem perature as low as that of Boston and De troit, and lower than that of such manu facturing centres as Pittsburg and-Phila delphia. The cost of running machinery is not likely to be any gre; -r in Virginia or Carolina than it is in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. Toe natural water power ot many parts of the south can scarcely be excelled in any sectioned the Country, and fuel is at hand for the production of steam po.vef in vet more lavish supply. That the mountain region of the south was lieh in coal and iron has long been known, but it has only been within a very short time that any considerable ef fort has been made to develop its wealth. The results that have bees obtained have been astonishing. In IS7O not a ton of coal was mined in Georgia; in 1880 the census reports that 154,000 tons were produced, In 1870 Alabama dug only 11,000 tons; in 1880 her production had risen to 322,000 tons. in Alabama, Georgia, Arkanas,-Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia the coal output ro*e from 900.000 tons in 1870 to 3,700,000 tons in 1880. There were in 1870 but 46,000 tens of iron ore'mined in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, and in 1880 there were 575,000 tons, an increase of more than twelve hundred per cent. Great as these gains were, there is every reason to believe that they have been far exceeded in the three years that have elapsed since the census was taken, and still greater progress may be expected in the future. The ore is more easily to be come at, labor is cheap er, and a ton of pig Iron can be produced iti Virginia or Alabama for twelve dol lars where in Pentuylvania it would cost eighteen. So long as this inequality con tinues the movement of the iron industry must be towards the somh. Already much northern capital is invested in southern iron and coal fields; in some instances the land has doubtless been purchased with a view to prevent its im mediate development, but all such ma noeuvres must, from their very nature, be productive of temporary results mere ly. For the present little beyond the smelling of ore into pigs is done at the south. The superior cheapness of its production enables the maker to bear the cost f transporting it to the foundries and machine shops of the north, but sooner or later the latter will be necessa rily moved nearer to the source of their raw material, and all the many branches of iron making be actively carried on in the southern states. In any review of the resources of the south account must be taken of her rela tively large forest area. The rapid de struction of the limber trees of the north and west is yearly making the remaining forests of the country more valuable, and within a very few years the larger pait of these will be in the south. “Transportation facilities, hitherto and and still insufficient, are rapidly increas ing. Every year new railroads are pierc ing into before unopened tracts of south ern territory. The Southern Pacific and the Texas Pacific place the south upon the line ot transcontinental movements. The Mexican railways now in course of construction will find their nearest con nections in the various southern lines and will carry to the south the first fruits of awakening enterprise in tiie long sleeping land beyond the Rio Grande. The railroad now being built down tiie peninsula of Florida will have its termi nus less than a day’s sail from the island of Cuba, and all the-many valuable pro ductions of the West India islands will find their most convenient markets in our southern states. In the south the world is about to find anew competitor in the strife for the prizes of agriculture, manufacture and trade, and the Louisville exposition will give the public an opportunity to esti mate her chances of success in such a contest. GEORGIA’S GIANTS. Alexander H. Stephens Ben Hill, Robert Toombs and Joe Brown. Atlanta Correspondence of Globe-Democrat.) I was seated near a group of Georgia legislators, just within the front entrance of the 11. I. Kimball house, at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, listening to a spirited discussion over the bill just enacted au thorizing counties to tax the property of railroads, when some one interrupted the disputation with the remark, “There comes Gen. Robert Toombs.” I looked toward the entrance to see a man dressed in a loose-fitting linen suit, with gray hair and shriveling face, stoop ing shoulders aud halting gflit. He ap peared to lean heavily on his cane as he stopped in th? 1 doorway to speak to a friend who accosted him. Iliseyes were lusterless and his face tremulous. One who knew the stalwart political malcon tent, tiie aggressive leader, the fiery de bater, the magnificent specimen of phy sical manhood personated in United States Senator Robert Toombs twenty live years ago, must took regretfully at the weak old man whose physical debili ty is hardly suggestive of the shrinkage of his reputation and influence as a pub licist. Personally, however, he is held in exalted esteem. Either in domestic, social or business life, Robert Toombs is esteemed for all that is honorable. His nearest neighbors are his best friends. All who know him admire his generosity and. integrity. Only in political affairs are his tongue and pen at a discount with Georgians. While Gen. Toombs was re ceiving the greetings of the gentlemen who had risen and grouped about him as he’ advanced from the entrance, a carri age drawn by a span of black horse? passed in front of the hotel, through the open window of which was visible the long face and white hair and beard of Joseph E. Brown. Some one on the ou ter circle, a state senator., remarked to liis right-hand neighbor: “These are the remaining two of Geor gia’s quartet of ablest minds; Stephens and Hill are gone.” A FAMOUS QUARTET. The senator was right; Alexander H. Stephens, Bemjameu 11. Hill, Robert Toombs and Joseph EL Brown were Georgia’s “Big 4” in affairs of state dur ing recent years. E ich was prominent in the Southern Confederacy; Stephens as vice-president, Toombs for a time as cabinet officer, Hill as tiie leader of the Jeff Davis wing in senate, while Joe Brown was Georgia’s war governor. The course of each of the four subsequent to the war lias been distinct. Brown join ed the republican party in ’6B, was prom inent in its councils until ’75, when he | returned to the democracy"; Stephen* j was a bourbon democrat in ’73, refusing ! to support Greeley, but after his return ! to congress was virtually an indepen dent; Hill was a bitter opponent"of re construction in ’(ir-S, affiliated with re constructionists. In ’7l, and was bour bon after ’7B; Toombs has been hour boh every year and day and hour since the day Georgia seceded from the Union. The quartet were four interesting per sonages. Toombs and Brown have al ways been at loggerheads; Toombs and Hill were always at outs; Toombs and Stephens, from .first to last, were friends of the Damon and Pythias type. Joe Brown and Hill wer e at enmity for twen ty-five years, until they became collea gues in the United States senate, in 1880. Brown and Stephens continued personal friends even when opposing each other in politics. Stephens and Hill never were friendly., Stephens once challenging Hill to fight. Stephens and Toombs were great lawyers; Brown a thorough schol ar in law, but no orator; Hill the most eloquent of the four, but a special plead er —effective before a jury by reason of his magical speech rather than from pro found knowledge of law. Brown and Stephens were the poorest of boys, and paid for their schooling from their per sonal earnings and savings. Toombs and Hill had means for acquiring edu cation. Stephens was always very weak, physically; Brown never robust. Hill and Toombs, on the contrary, were superb specimens of manhood. Oppos ing each other, almost all around, each o*ie of the four men has, nevertheless, been successful in his. CANDIDACIES FOR HONORS from the same constituency. Toombs, Brown and Hill have represented Geor gia in the senate; Brown and Stephens ha.veoccupied the gubernatorial chair; Brown has been Chief Justice of the Georgia supreme court, and Toombs was the father of the present constitution of the state, adopted in 1877. Brown and Toombs are both wealthy; neither Steph ens nor Hill acquired any wealth. Brown is a religionist—a prominent Baptist; Toombs is not a churchman, and is pro fane; Stephens was p moralist; Hill devout in his early and again in his latter days. Robert Toombs is no longer a factor in Georgia state affairs. His influence in the politicid field is as completely gone as that of either Hill or Stephens, lying in the grave. He still is, however, a power at the bar, and is leading, or sole, coun sel in many causes before the higher courts, from which he realizes a large come, varying, it is said, fiom $50,000 to SIOO,OOO per annum. But the impress of senator Brown is recognizable upon well nigh everymatter of public import, lie is the Richelieu of Georgia’s political af fairs ; the back of his hand is the doom of any aspiring man or measure—its grasp the surety of success. He has attained every honor for upon the occasion of his defeat (while iunning as a republican) for the United States senatorship, he was burned in etflgy on a public square in Atlanta. Some of the identical men who took part in the proceeding, in 1880 voted to make him senator. The recent decease of ex-Governor Charles J. Jenkins and of Judge Martin J. Crawford, of the supreme court, re moved two other distinguished Georgians from public service. Gov. John B. Gor don’s removal to Florida is yet another notable subtraction from the state’s list of public men. Senator Colquitt is popu lar, but not remarkable for intellectual force. When the “fierce spirit of the scythe and glass” shall have removed liobert Toombs and Joseph E. Brown from the public gaze, Georgia’s giants will have all departed her coasts. Her great quartet is not likely to be duplicated within her borders out of the present generation. ■ * ♦ ' —— TORNADOES. Scientifically Accounted for, and Some Remote Causes that produce Pain ful Results Explained. The following synopsis of a lecture de livered by Dr. Horace It. Hamilton before the New York society for the promotion of science, contains so much that is time ly and important that it can be read with both interest and profit: There is probably no subject of modern times that has caused and is causing greater attention than the origin of torna does. Scientists have studied for th benefit of humanity; men have investi gated it for the welfare of their families. It has been a vexed subject: long consider ed, and through all this investigation the cyclone has swept across the land carry ing destruction f scientists as well as to the innocent dwellers in its track. One thing, however, is certain; the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away from the whirling body of wind it self. Its results are powerful; its cause must also be powerful. Let us therefore consider a few facts. First, the appear ance of a cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots upon the face of sun. These spots, indicating a disturbed con dition of the solar regions, necessarily affect the atmosphere of our earth. An unusual generation of heat in one part of the atmosphere is certain to cause a par tial vacuum in another portion. Air mist rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the disturbances —hence the cyclone. Lhis theory finds additional eomfirmation in the fact that tornadoes come during the day and not at night. The dark spots upon the surface of the sun, whatever they may be, seem to cause great com motion in the atmosphere of the world, and it is almost certain that the extreme ly wet weather of the present season can bo accounted for on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable to suppose, that the mar velous effect of the sun upon vegetation ! BATES OF ADVERTISING. Advertisements will lie inserted lit the rates *f !

The cause is remote, hut the j effects is here. ‘ After describing some of the terrible effects of the cyclone, the speaker went on to say This rule finds its application in nearly every department of life. An operator is in San Francisco—the click of the instru ment manipulated by his fingers, in New York. The president makes a slight stroke of the pen in his study at the White House, and the w hole nation is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and disgust with everything in life, common ly called home sickness, ia felt by many people, when the cause is to be found in the distant home thousands of miles away. An uncertain pain may be telt in the head. It Is repeated in other parts of the body. The appetite departs and all energy is gone. Is the cause necessarily to be found in the head? The next day the feeling increases. There are added symptoms. They continue and become more aggravated. The slight pains in the head in -<v. e to agonies. The nau sea become chronic, The heart grows irregular, aid the breathing uncertain. All these effects have a definite cause; and, after years of deep experience upon this subject, l do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derange ment effeets appear. But one may say, l have no pain whatever in my kidneys or liver. Very true. Neither have we any evidence that there is a tornado on the surface of the sun; but it is none the less certain i hat the tornado is here, and it is none the less certain that these great organs of the body are the cause of the trouble although there may be no pain in their vicinity. NUMBEB t. I kuow r v hereof I speak, for 1 have passed through this very experience my self. Neari) ten years ago,. I w~s the picture of health, weighing more than 200 pounds, and as strong and healthy as any man 1 ever knew. When I felt the symptoms I have above described, they caused me annoyance, not only by reason ot their aggravating nature, but because I had never ielt any pain before. Other doctors told me I was troubled with ma laria, and I treated myself accordingly. 1 did not believe, however, that malaria could show such aggravated symptoms. It never occured to me that analysis would help solve the trouble, as l did not presume my difficulty was located in that portion of the body. But 1 continued to srrow T worse. I had a faint sensa ion at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I felt a great desire to eat, and yet I loath ed food. I was constantly tired and still I could not sleep. My brain was unusu ally active, but I could not think con nectedly. My existence was a living misery. I continued in this condition for nearly a year; never free from pain, never for a moment happy. Such an ex istence is far worse than death, for which I confess I earnesly longed. It was while sutiering thus thatnfiieud advised me to make a final attempt to recover my health. I sneered inwardly at his suggestion, but I was too weak to make any resistance. Me furnished me with a remedy, simple yet palatable and within two days I observed a slight change for the better. This awakened my courage. I felt that I would not die at that time. I continued the use of the remedy, taking it in accordance with di rections, until 1 became not only lestor ed to n.y former health and strength, hut of greater vigor than 1 have before known. This condition has continued up to the present time, aud I believe I should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are dying every day had it not been for the simple yet won derful power of Warner’s Safe Cure, the remedy I employed. The lecturer then described his means of restoration more in detail, aud conclud ed as follows: My complete recovery has caused me to investigate the subject more carefully, and 1 believe I have discovered the key to most ill health of our modern civiliza tion. I am fully confident that four fifths of the diseases which afflicts hu manity might be avoided were the kid neys and liver kept in perfect condition. Were it possible to control the action of the sun, cyclones could undoubtedly be averted. That, howeyer, is one of the things that cannot be. But I rejoice to say that it is possible to control the kid neys and liver; to render their action wholly normal, and their effect upon the system that of purifiers rather than poi soners. That this end has been accom plished largely by means of the remedy l have named. T do not have a doubt, and I feel it my duty to make this open declaration for the enlightenment of the profession and for the benefit of suffering humanity in all parts of the world. ‘Chief Justice Waite, of the United States Supreme Court, is now enjoying a quiet resting spell with his family at his summer residence in Lyme, Conn., which is across the river from the vener able Saybrook. He has almost entirely recovered from the effects of injuries re ceived by falling from the back of a horse in the great Yellowstone Park Ju ly Bor 9. lie was not thrown from his horse, as was stated, but, feeling his sad dle slipping under him, he threw himself sideways to the ground iu order to save himself from a more violent fall. He was then en route from the Mammoth Hot Springs to die falls, expecting to rejoin General Sherman’s party beyund the falls. At first he felt but little pain from the efteets of his tumble, but after ilding two cr three day’s lie was forced to stop, and the surgeons who accompanied his party made au examination, w hich elic ited from them the opinion that tue chief justice had suffered a slight fracture of the ninth and truth ribs.
