SOLID SOUTHKHN GKOWTH.
Tbo Manufacturers’ Itecord of Balti
more of October 31, lu reviewing the
progress of the South, says:
“The business situation throughout
the South continues to Improve, and the
outlook for the future is very promising.
Speculative operations are not in much
favor, but the work of solid business de
velopment is commanding increased at
tention. Shrewd capitalists, realizing
the intrinslo value of mineral and timbei
properties, are making a number pur
chases, and mainly for immediate devel
opment. In West Virginia some large
sales of coal lands have been made, and
In other states ore and timber lands have
changed hands. The phosphate inter
ests in Florida show increased activity in
the sale of lands and in tbo organization
of mining companies, seven new compa
nies having been reported during the
week with capital stock of from £>0,000
to *1,000,000. In Alabama a very im
portant contract was closed, securing the
building of a railroad from the Warrior
-coal Helds to deep water river navigation
at Tuscaloosa, which wilt open a water
transportation route for Alabama coal to
tho gulf; this contract also calls for coal
mining and coke making operations at
Tuscaloosa.
“At Galveston tho contract)has been
closed for building a 1,000,000 bushel
grain elovator at a cost of *300,000, and
largo engagements have boon made for
grain shipments from New Orleans this
winter, while at Baltimore the grain
trade is so active that on two days of
this week alone charters were mado for
the export of 2,500,000 bushels to Eu-
rbpe. The cotton movement continues
very heavy, due-in large part to the per
fect weather for gathering the crop, and
southern ports are crowded with vessels
loading for Europe. In general indus
trial matters there is steady improve
ment.
“This shows a steady, solid growth all
along the line, and indicates a very
healthy development activl’y that prom
ises well for the rapid increase in the
progress and prosperity of the south.”
IVOMKN IN POIITICS.
Tliis expression of deep and pervasive
political enthusiasm by women is a hope
ful sign for the campaign. As yet they
cannot vote themselves, but when they
are really interested in politics there are
no more powerful allies of a political
party, for by feminine importunity they
can drive men to their duty at the polls.
They are political workers in households
into which party canvassers may not
force themselves, and if tholr political
zeal is strong and active, they can make
it contagious. Ills irresistible by men
hotb young and old, and the use of the
power is unremitting. If women are de
termined that men shall vote, they will
vote. They can’t get out of it by tho ex
cuses of laziness and indifference. They
must go to tho polls or forfeit feminine
respect. Because the suffrage is pecu-
lairly a manly privilege, the women pol
iticians make its exercise a test of man
liness, as, Indeed, it ought to be. The
inlluence of women is the stronger, too,
because it is unselfish, though thorough
ly partisan. Tiiey are not Mugwumps.
They take one side or the other without
reservation, and they are therefore the
sort of allies a party wants. It does not
want the Laodiceans of politics, neither
warm nor cold, but lukewarm.
Yet, rapid as lias been the increase of
the interest of women in political cam
paigns, they exhibit no corresponding
increase in tho desire to obtain the suf
f rage for themselves. It seems to be
less than formerly ratlior than greater.
Tlie larger tboy And the possibilities of
their political Inlluence to bo the more
content they soem to be iD exorcising it
without the hardship ot going to the
polls themselves. Perhaps that sentl
ment may change some day, and very
suddenly, hut at present its prevalence
among women is indisputable, no matter
how great their Interest in politics and
their zeal as politicians. The regular
woman suffrage advocates are few, and
their inlluence in this campaign is undis-
covcrable.—Now York Sun.

EMPLOYMENT FOR CONVICTS.
Among other things that the road
congress in session in Atlanta this week
adopted was the following: “It Is tbo
sense of this congross that it Is to tho
interests of the people of the state that
the labor of her conviets should be used
upon her publie roads, and that no lease
of conviota should bo made after the ex
plratton of the present lease.”
The foregoing should bo given very
careful consideration by the people of
this state. There is great dissatisfaction
with the eonviet lease system, and there
Is opposition to so employing convlots
that their labor will come Into competi
tion with free labor. But nobody could
reasonably object to the employment of
the convicts upon the publlo roads,
t The roads in all parts of the state are
now in a deplorable condition. Their
improvement would greatly Increase the
value of the farms of the state, and
would directly beneflt the farmers to an
amount annually far greater than the
amount of tax they would have to pay
for the maintenance ot convicts em
ployed upon tho roads.
The convicts could be distributed
among tho counties, under the guards of
the state, and each county would have
to maintain tho convicts employed with
in Its limits. There Is no doubt that the
counties would be glad to get them.
Tho cost of maintaining thorn would bo
small, and the burden upon the tax
payers would, therefore, be very light.
Some of the counties might not care to
maintain convicts while Improving their
roads, but the majority of them would
be glad to get them. In the course of a
few years there would be a marked
change for the better in the roads of the
state. At present about all the profll in
tbo labor of the convicts goes to the les
sees. Why shouldn’t the counties get
the benefit of this labor in the way sug
gested?—Savannah News.
In speskieg of the cotton convention
yesterday Governor Northen suggested a
good Idea: “The farmers lose more by
this system of sampling,” said he,
“than In any other way. I know where
of I speak, for I have tested It. A few
yean ago I had the depot agent at
Spsrta weigh carefully every halo of
oottdn I shipped. I shipped fifty bales,
and when 1 received the account of my
factor who cold the cotton for me, I
found that I bad lost just oae bale of
600 pounds. In other words, ten pounds
of cotton were taken from every bale.
Some method abonld be deviled by
which a true sample of the bale should
be attached in a pocket, and this sample
should go with and remain with the
halo.”—Atlanta Constitution.

The fire fiend is still getting in its
work. From all over the country the
wires flash fire, fire. The magnificent
opera house, the Vendome, was burned
in Nashville Friday. The stockade at
Briceville, Tennessee, wa* burned Fri
day night, releasing three hundred and
fifty convicts. Cotton fires are reported
from all over the South. Tho unprece
dented droughth is probably the cause of
■uoh an unusual number of fires. Every
thing Is as dry as powder, and needs
only the least friction to set It off.

that way. Mills voted for St. Louis and
