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. EDITOR HAL MOORE BANQUETED.

It can always be de pended upon and is pleasant to take, octl lm 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. Tho Sour «f the Fair.

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. On Tuesday s New York organ of Re publicanism wronged the Hon. Benton McMIUin of Tennessee and the Hon. Charles F. Crisp of Georgia in stating that they had voted to place the Fair of 1802 In Chicago, and the Sun was acci dentally led into crediting such a vote to Mr. McMillin and also to Mr. Mills of Texas. None of these gentlemen voted that way. Mills voted for St. Louis and Crisp and McMillin voted for New York —New York Sun. George—Well, how do you come on, Charlie?
