standing timber in the country is in
the south.

A great deal has been said of late

They have surveyed this land into

Last Saturday’s Atlanta Journal
contains a write-up of Albany and

-5; during the month of October
the business done by her banks, in
louns and discounts, was $1,940,171,-
16; the wholesale brokerage trade
amount? to $1,000,000 annually;
about 12,000,000 brick are manufact
ured there each year, and 15,000 tons
of ligh-grade fertilizer; it has an oil
mill with a capacity of 50 tons of
seed per day; about $120,000 worth
of mules ure Bold there annually; and
the unnual number of deuths has
decreased from 71 iu 1891 to 48 in
1895, despite the increase iu pop
ulation. A splendid showing.

Mr. Edmonds says:
In 1880 the south had $257,244,-
561 invested in manufacturing; by
1890 this had increased to $659,008,-
817, a gain of 15G per cent, while
the gain in the entire country was
120.76 tier cent. The value of the
manufactured products of the south
rose from $457,454,777 in 1880 to
$917,589,045 in 1890, a gam of 100
per cent, against an increase of only
69.27 per cent in the whole conntrv.
The factory hands of the south
received $75,917,571 in wages in
1880 and in 1890 $222,118,505.
Since 1890 the gain has been very
large and the south is now turning
out $1,200,000,000 of manufactured
products a year.
The south had $3,182,000,000, in
vested in farm interests in 1890, and
the total productions were $773,000,-
000, or a gross revenue of 24.1 per
cent on the capital. All other sec
tions combined hud $12,797,000000
in farm operations, and the produot.
was $1,687,000,000, or 13.1 per cent
gross revenue, only a fraction more
than onc-liulf as much in perentoge
of production as the south's. It is
impossible to get at the net profits,
but these figures show how far
ahead the south is in the gross pro
duct based on the capital invested.
They show that for every dollar re
ceived by northern farmers on the
capital invested, southern farmers
receive nearly $2.
Tbpse facts and figures are quoted
from the censuB returns and ure ab
solutely reliable. They furnish am
ple food for thought, and they should
bo studied by men of enterprise and
capital every where.
