RAPID INDUSTRIAL MARCH OF THE SOUTH Gratifying Progress Made In Past Ten Years BY FOUR OF HER STATES Manufacturer’s Record Gives Some In teresting Figures Showing That the South Is Forging Ahead and Util izing Her Every Opportunity. Baltimore, Nov. I.—Preliminary fig ures of the census of 1900 for four typi oal southern states are held by The Man ufacturers’ Record in this week’s issue as indicating a most gratifying progress Industrially in the south during the past 10 years. The figures show an increase in the value of manufactured products in Florida of 109 per cent, in Alabama of 61 per cent, in Georgia of 54 per cent and in Mississippi of 116 per cent during the decade. The fact that while there has been a slight apparent decrease in the aotual number of industrial establishments in four of the leading cities of Georgia, there has been an increase in the amount of wages, the capital invested and the value of the products, and an increase of 75 per cent in the number of establishments in the whole state, is held to be in harmony with what seems to be the general tendency in the south and in the country, a rapid rise of in dustries in new localities paralleling the centralization of some of those at long established centers. Manufacturing In Mississippi. This rapid rise appears in the increase of 180 per cent in ten years in the num ber of manufacturing establishments in Mississippi, so long occupied in agri cultural pursuits, slower to enter the in dustrial field, but now beginning to feel and to reveal statistically the material results of systematic railroad building, especially during the past five years, with a consequent opening up of timber resources, the development of truck growing, and the increase in wookwork ing plants and kindred undertakings. This development will undoubtedly be found o be marked and on similar lines in other states, such as Texas and "West Virginia, where railroad construc tion has opened new fields for the miner and the lumberman. In the meantime committees in other states are meeting their opportunities. At Wilmington, N. C., for instance, the construction of a $160,000 sewerage system, a $300,000 pressed brick plant and an SBO,OOO saw mill will show that the community is alive. Kaolin Plant to Cost $75,000. At Waynesville, N. C., about $75,000 will be invested in a modern plant for taking out kaolin and corundum. At Louisville, Ky., the owners of a boiler plant have determined upon the erection and equipment of an entirely new plant to cost in all more than $237,- 000, the building to be of steel and the site to be in South Louisville. To a rolling mill at Covington, Ky., a corru gated plant is to be added, equipped with the latest improvements. A com pany is being organized to develop the water in High Falls, near Griffin, Ga., for industrial enterprises. A dispatch to The Manufacturers’ Record from Birmingham, Ala., says that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company contemplates building a merchant steel plant. That is but one of the projects for the coming year of existing companies and of new ones in volving an expenditure of several mil lions of dollars in the Birmingham dis trict. MORTGAGE FOR $1,600,000. Proposed Alabama and X'ennessee River Railway. Florence, Ala., Nov. I.—The Knick erbocker Trust company of New York city has filed for record a mortgage for $1 ,600,000 to secure bonds for the build ing of the Alabama and Tennessee River railway on the line projected from Flor ence to Clifton, Tenn., a distance of 80 miles. The mortgage is a voluminous document, containing 14,000 words. J. L. Bell of New York city is president and George A. Sykes is treasurer. The road was projected by George L. Johnson of Waynesboro, Tenn., and J. L. Bell, who have been working on the project for several years. The railroad will run through one of the richest brown ore fields in the country and will tap a rich farming and timber section heretofore inaccessible on account of a lack of railroad facilities. It is though* the new road has some important connection with other rail roads. as the Illinois Central and other roads have been trying to get into this section of Alabama for years on account of the iron industry. Semi-Annual Dividend ueciareu. Philadelphia, Nov. I.—The board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad today declared a semi-annual dividend of »)£ per cent and 1 per cent extra on the stook, which places the stook on a 6 per cent basis.

DISPATCHES NOT CORRECT Abdul Hamid, Who Persistently Re fuses to Accede to Certain French Claims, May Yet Hear the Thunder of Guns on the .Bosphorus. Paris, Nov. I. — The dispatoh from Toulon, announeix g the return of Ad miral Gaillard’s division of the French Mediterranean squadron to that port, proves to be incorrect. The officials of the foreign office today informed the Associated Press that the admiral has not returned and that the facts set forth in these dispatches yesterday are iooorrect. The admiral is now on his way to Turkish waters. The incorrect announcement from Toulon of the return of Admiral Gail lard’s division, which created a great sensation, emanated from the corre spondent of a well known news agency. The explanation is that Admiral Mai gret, commander of the Mediterranean fleet, returned to Toulon at 7-o’clock yesterday evening with all his vessels, except those belonging to Admiral Gail lard’s division. The correspondent of the news agency referred to miscounted the vessels, owing to the darkness. A corrected list of Admiral Gaillard’s ships is now published. The list cabled yesterday was that of his ordinary light division, but it appears that a special squadron was formed, composed of the battleships Gaulois and Charlemange, the cruisers Admiral Pothuau, Chanzey and Galilee and two torpedo boat de stroyers of the Hallabardee type. FRANC! TIRED OF WAITING. Patience Exhausted Over Turkey’s Procrastinating Tactics. New York, Nov. I.— The Paris cor respondent of the London Times and the New York Times declares that the patience of France with Turkey has fi nally been exhausted. He says it is the general belief that Turkey will now abandon her procrastinating tactics and fulfill her engagements. Her only diffi culty will be in finding the money. The correspondent adds that things cannot go on as they have done. The government is face to face with a de bate on the foreign estimates in the chamber of deputies and it is impera tive that a situation, both embarrassing and ridiculous, shall be ended. When the trouble with Turkey be gan, the dispatch goes on to say, it seemed difficult for France to under take a coercive naval demonstration in regard to the three matters at stake. The question of the Constantinople quays concern is a private enterprise involving divergent interpretations. The Tubini and Loraudo debts are even less of the sort for which a power mobilizes a fleet. The porte, however, acted to ward France in away calculated to wound and offend and a demonstration is needed, or the dignity of France will be compromised. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Man and Wife In Kalis County, Tex., Assassinated. Waco, Tex., Nov. I.— J. W. McDon ald and his wife Susan were shot from ambush on the banks of the Brazos river near the Falls county line and both killed. They were fishing and were near their tent when some one fired on them. The old gentleman was about 50 yards from the tent when he was shot twice in the head. The wife was 100 yards away and the shot was evidently very close, for the woman’s clothing took fire and her body was burned to a crisp. The murderer was evidently after money, for it was known that the old man had some in his tent. A son, 9 years old, was found near the place ana brought to the city. His head was badly lacerated and he was in a dazed condition. Brewery Workers Threaten Strike. Cincinnati, Nov. I.—President Gom pers of the American Federation of La bor has been suddenly summoned to Cincinnati to adjust difficulties among brewery workers which threaten to pre cipitate a strike. The difficulty arises over the relations between the brewery firemen and the Brewery Workers’ union. Will Act as Arbitrator. New York, Nov. I.—The Rome cor respondent of the London Times and the New York Times says Victor Eman uel has accepted the invitation to act as arbitrator between Great Britian and Brazil in regard to the Guiana frontier question. A notea London ciuo man once lain a wager with a friend that the latter could not sell a given number of gold guineas at a penny a piece. He won his wager. The people refused to buy. They thought he was offering too much for too little. It may be that the claims made for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription seem almost too great to women who in years of suffering have found no help in doctors or medicines. But it is to be remembered that \- J no claim is made for "Favorite Prescrip- |» tion ” which is not gPjk V : j ;jw substantiated by thou- ■Vfek V"j Egi sands of women cured by its use.

Had been sick for several months. Could not get anything to stay in my stomach, not even water. Had mishaps twice in six months, and threatening all tne time with this one. Had female weakness for several years. My hips, back and lower bowels hurt me all the time. Had numbness from my hips down. Had several hard cramping spells, and was not able to do any work at all. I received your answer in a few days, telling me to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I took three bottles, and before I had taken it a week I was better, and before I had taken it a month I was able to help do my work. On the 27th of May my baby was born, and I was only sick three hours, and had an easy time.

CONTEST AT CLOSE RANGE Indians Were Surprised by the Sol diers Encamped In Latuna Canyon. They Finally Fell Back and, Se curing Their Horses, Fled. Tucson, A. T., Nov. I.—A desperate fight took place on Wednesday between the Yaquis and Mexican cavalry. Fif teen Yaquis were killed or wounded and a number of troops were wounded. The charge was led by Lieutenant Oolouel Quiutro with 300 men, all mounted. They left Guaymas upon receiving re peated dispatches announcing raids made by Indians. The Indians were encamped in Latu na conyon when the troops came upon them. A fight at close range began and lasted 20 minutes. The troops rode upon the Indians, killing them with their 6- shooters. The Indians fell back and se curing their horses made for the moun tains. The troops are in pursuit and more fighting is expected. Lieutenant Colonel Qumtro is highly commended for his bravery by the people of Guay mas. THE BULLER AFFAIR. He May Take Le<ral 'tops Against National Review. New York, Nov. I.—According to The Tribune General Buffer's friends are not cast down by the publication of the alleged Colenso heliograph message. They assert that the truth will now be forced out and that the complete text will show that the passage quoted has more or less been garbled. General Buffer’s friends assert that he learned in aavauce that The National Review would have the artioles that have caused so much commotion and decided to fore stall them. The editor of this magazine is a sod of the late Admiral Maxso and his sister •is the wife of Lord Edward Cecil, the prime minister’s sou, who was with Baden-Powell at Mafekiug. There is a general appeal to the war office to make an official statement in regard to the heliographic messages from General Buffer to Sir George White. General Buffer, it is stated, has been advised by his friends to take legal steps against The National Review. A YOUNG BRIGAND. Boy Kidnaps Another and Demands Heavy Ransom. Helena, Mon., Nov. 1. —A special to The Independent from Great Falls says a lil-year-old boy, named Southwick, kidnaped the 6-year-old son of G. W. Ryan, a prominent grocer of that city, and sent a note to the father demanding $1,500, threatening to ram fine pieces of glass into the child’s eyes and out his hands off unless the demand was com plied with. Mr. Ryan notified the police, who ar rested young Southwick shortly after the Ryan boy had arrived at his father’s store unharmed, having been released by Southwick. Southwick confessed that he did the deed of bis own volition, and that he had no accomplices. He expressed no repentance and said: “I would have hit the old man for SB,OOO if I thought he would hare stood for it.” TEN BUILDINGS BURNED. Uniontown, Pa., Has $250,000 Fire. One Life Lost. Uniontown, Pa., Nov. I.—A fire, which started in Friedman’s livery sta ble, near Pittsburg street early this morning, destroyed ten buildings, cov ering two blocks. One life is reported to have been lost and the property damage is estimated at $250,000. At 10 o’clock the fire was believed to be under control, although it was break ing out at intervals with more or less intensity. The extent of ttie fire is at tributed to the scarcity of water, from which this vicinity l*as been suffering for several months. Much Distress in Germany. New York, Nov. I.—The Berlin cor respondent of the London Times and the New York Times says that while the Agrarians continue to demand even higher protective duties than those pro posed by the government the distress throughout Germany is becoming in tense. It is estimated that there are 80,000 unemployed persons in Berlin. In the suburb of Oharlottenburg, par ticularly, the condition of labor, both skilled and unskilled, is distressing. A massmeeting of the unemployed has been called there. Thyrso Was l oo Premature. New York, Nov. I. The Viscount Thyrso, Portuguese minister to Wash ington, has been recalled and placed En Disponibbilite in consequence of his pre mature announcement of President Mc- Kinley’s death whereby he caused the government great annoyance, says the Lisbon correspondent of The Herald. His successor will be Senor Martens Ferrao, formerly Portuguese secretary of the Vatican, although The Diario de Noticias mentions Senor Horta Machado for the post. ‘-'ti.U V* .11 euou lie iteauj.

SCHLEY COURT OF INQIURY. Order of Speeches In Closing Case Agreed Upon. Washington, Nov. 1. —The Schley court of inquiry began its proceedings today with the understanding that with the exception of some witnesses, who trill be recalled to correct their testi mony on Monday next, the last testi mony would be taken before adjourn ment. There were only two witnesses on the list for today and the understanding when the court opened was that after they should be heard the court would adjourn over until next Monday. The witnesses called for today were those summoned by the department and were Lieutenant John Hood, who com manded the dispatch boat Hawk during the Cuban campaign, and Mr. Sylvester Scovil, who was a newspaper corre spondent in Cuba during the Spanish war. Lieutenant Hood was summoned for the purpose of relating his version of hiß interview with Admiral Schley off Cienfuegos and Mr. Soovil was called to answer questions concerning the morn ing when Captain Sigsbee of the St. Paul is said to have megaphoned to the press-boat Somers N. Smith on May 28. Photographer Hare testified that at that time Captain Sigsbee stated that the Spanish fleet was not in the harbor of Santiago and gave the name of. Mr. Soovil as one of the correspondents on board the press-boat with himself at that time. Admiral Schley was in the courtroom half au hour before proceed ings began, but he aunounoed that he would not be able to undertake the cor rection of his testimony before next Monday. Judge Advocate L9mly announced that counsel had agreed upon the order of the speeches in closing the case, sub ject to the sanction of the court. Mr. Hanna is to open for the navy depart ment. He will be followed by Captain Parker and Mr. Raynor for Schley, and Judge Advocate LeSfly will close for the department. Admiral Dewey announced that this arrange ment was satisfactory to the court. NAVAL PAGEANT. Portsmouth Welcomes the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. Portsmouth, Eng., Nov. I.—Today’s naval pageant in honor of the return of the duke and duchess of Cornwall and York was almost a reproduction of the ceremonial attending their departure. The town and harbor were astir early. Immense crowds assembled along the sea front. There was much cheering aud salutes from the harbor ships and land batteries as the royal yacht Victo ria aud Albert steamed to meet the Ophir. On board the royal yacht the king, in the undress uniform of admi ral, stood on the after bridge at the sa lute, while the queen and the children of the Duke aud Duchess paraded ihe hurricane deck. The roadstead presented a striking spectacle, with the great gathering of warships, dressed from stem to stern, and with'their yards manned and their sides lined with their crews. Nelson’s old flagship, the Victory, started the sa lute to their majesties, and each ship in turn took it up and the Victoria and Albert moved down the solent, accom panied by a flotilla of older royal yachts. Off Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, the Victoria and Albert and the Ophir met and exchanged signals of greeting. At about 2 o’clock the booming of distant guns announced the approach of the royal pair and the procession soon hove in sight, with the Trinity House yacht Irene acting a9 pilot. She was followed by the Victoria and Albert, the Ophir and twoiron clads. Guns were fired, bands played and crowds cheered as the vessels passed down the lines of the fleet. COMBATS THE THEORY. Shooting Does Not Destroy Hailstorm, Says Professor Willis Moore. Washington, Nov. I.— Professor Wil lis L. Moore, chief of the weather bu reau, and his assistants, combat the theory of efficacy of shooting as a means of destroying hailstorms and say none of the reports of experiments in Europe have shaken their opposition. Professor Moore will issue a report shortly on the subject, elaborating his views of the investigations and ex periments that have been conducted along these lines. He vigorously de nies that shooting has any effectiveness in destroying hailstorms or in bringing about rain, despite a rather prevalent idea, aud says that it is not worth while for the vineyard districts of this coun try to adopt such measures as are pro posed in France for the protection of viticulturists. Well Known Writer Dead. Kingston, N. Y., Nov. I.—Rev. Cor nelius Van Zantlord, well known and widely known as a writer, died here last night. He was chaplain of the Twentieth New York for the first two years of the civil war, and in 1862 Pres ident Lincoln appointed him to a chap laincy in the regular army. He was as signed first to Nashville and later to Louisville and while in those two cities acted as war correspondent for the New York Times. Imprisonment for I‘riucesa. Cape Town, Nov. I.—The affidavits of Cecil Rhodes repudiating bills aggre gating £26,000, drawn in favor of the Princess Radziwil of the German branch of the Radziwil family, and purporting to have been signed by Mr. Rhodes, have arrived here. The supreme court has issued a writ of imprisonment pgainst the princess on account of a minor of £113. Colonel Henry Kuhn Deud. Jamestown, Vs., Nov. I.— Colonel Henry H. Kuhn died at his home here this, mornipg. aged 63 v*ara - WORK OF GEORGIA SOLONS. Measure Introduced to Enlarge Power , of Railroad Commission. Atlanta, Not. I.—Among the im portant new measures introduced today were the following: By Hicks and Tumlin of CatTolTantl* 1 " Yeates of Catoosa, to enlarge the pow ers of the railroad commission; by Har din of Chatham, to protect the Ashing industries of the state; by Miller, Lit tle, Hitch, Felder and O’Connell, re quiring apprenticeship in the barber’s trade; by Slaton and Houston of Fulton, requiring judges iu sentencing persons under 16 years of age to industrial farm to make the sentence for the period of their minority; and by Adams of Put nam, to tax the property of transient persons coming into the state for the purpose of vending their wares. The first measure, relating to the railroad commission, gives that body full power to regulate frieght rates and to adopt rules compelling the prompt - forwarding of freight. The other meei>r ure by Mr. Yeates gives the commission the power to compell the railroads to construct necessary sidetracks and force said roads to make physical connections with other roads of similar gauge. Iu the former measure the penalty is fixed at SI,OOO against the railroad for each violation, while under Mr. Yeates’ bill the penalty is fixed at $6,000. A bill by Messrs. Slaton and Houston has for its purpose the reforming of youthful offenders.
