SOUTHERN GROWTH.! ffiSSSfisraSSb*:
Tlie Wonderful Record of the
Past Nine Months.
THE NEW ENTERPRISES UNDER WAY.
A Luge Increase Shown Over 1887 nnd
1880—Cnpttal Invested Amounting
to 9121,410,000—Bright Pros
pects for the South.
’The nine months which have just ended,
says the Baltimore Manufacturers’ Record,
have marked a very important period in
the industrial history of the south. The
great boom of 1887 brought into existence
many gigantic land companies and many
iron, coal and other companies, organized
for the development of the south. The
boom in real estate, and the speculative
fever which it engendered, was looked
upou with fear by many who anticipated
financial troubles when the reaction came.
Instead of bringing disaster, as many had
feared, the south lias gone steadily for
ward, its great enterprises pushed to com
pletion and new ones, large and small, or
ganized in great number. Here and there
the decline in real estate has temporarily
retarded the progress of some new enter
prise, but as the dull season is now clos
ing, to be followed by a period of activity,
•due in.part to the abundant crops and in
part to ihe universal, prosperity of south-
era manufactures, we may loo* for a re
vival of many projects now held in abey
ance, and the projection of hundreds of
others. Nothing could better have demon
strated the thorough soundness of the ra
id astrial growth of the south than the way
■in which all business interests have stood
■the tight money mraket and the real es
tate depression which followed the boom.
The capitalists of the north have closely
studied these matters, and we venture the
prediction that their faith in the con
tinued progress and prosperity of the south
is greater to day than ever before.
Never before in the history of she south
was the outlook brighter then it is now.
The immerse furnaces and rolling mills,
•car-works, cotton mills and kindred enter-
? irises, upon which work was commenced
rom twelve to eighteen months ago, and
which, during all that time, have been vir
tually locking up the capital invested in
their construction, are now one _ after an
other, rapidly going into operation. More
over, they are beginning theircareeis as
wealth producers at the most auspicious
time, when the demand for all their pro
ducts is a'tive, with prices yielding a good
margin of profit. Soon they will be tak
ing the crude material ana turning out
millions of dollars’ worth of finished pro
duct to help enrich the south. The com
crop, the second in importance in the
south, has made another advance, aud the
total reaches 533,000,000 bushels, the larg-
' est amount ever produced by the south,
being 41,000,000 bushels greater than in
.1887, and 100,000,000 bushels greater than
in 1885, only five years ago. The yield of
cotton is yet somewhat UDCettaiu, but
doubtless that will be but little, if any,
less than the splendid crop of 1887, while
prices will probably average higher, as
the world’s consumption of th '
staple U now so numerous
to cause a steady decline in the stock
Railroad construction is active and the
heavy investments of foreign and north
cm capital in the improvement oi oiu

the faith of the world at large in the truth
•of Judge Kelley’s flowing predictions of
the south’s great future os given in the last
i sue of the Manufacturers’ Record. From
Miry land to Texas progress is the order of
tho day, and when the political excite
ment is over and the crops are harvested,
then we may look for a period of wonder-
Jul activity in all lines of industry.
The Manufacturers’ Record has repcat-
' «31y called attention to the increasing di-
vers’ty of tht industrial growth of the
south. Small enterprhes of all kinds nre
! prlnging up in every direction, nnd year
by rear the south is increasing its produc
tion of many articles for which it has
heretofore been dependent upon other sec
tions. An examination of the recent iii-
-du-trial growth of that section will show
!bnw rapidly this is going on. In Atlanta a
4500,000 company is preparing to supply a
large part of the southern demand for sew
ing machines. Glass factories in Alabama
■*»! Georgia have proved that the south
-can make its own glass. Car works
man
ufacturing and mining enterprises organ
ized or chartered at the south, aggregates
about $121,415,000. Itis, of course, true that
with many of these companies the actual
cash investment is not so large as the
amount of their capital stock, but there
are nianv small manufacturing enterprises
portable saw mills, small grist mills, gin
neries, and similar small industries, cjst-
ing from a few hundred to a thousand
dollars, that are not included in this list.
The aggregate cost of these would be
very considerable and partly, though
not wholly, offset the too great
capitalization of some incorporated com
panies. In addition to these, every manu
facturing enterprise is constantly adding
here and there a new piece of machinery,
which in the aggregate is very great; but
we take no account of that, only including
cases where a mill is greatly enlarged re
modeled or other extensive improvements
made:
Summing up the amount of capital and
capital stock represented by our list of new
enterprises and the enlargement of old
plants for the first nine months of 1888, we
have:

“Robin Adair.”
From the Musical Herald.
Longfellow, speaking of ballads, elo
quently says: “They are the gypsy chil
dren of song, born under green hedgerows,
in the leafy lanes and by paths of litera
ture in the genial summer time, and many
a life story is contained in the simple
words of a favorite ballad.” Nevertheless,
we seldom realize what lies beneath the
surface of the words, when we hear some
of the simple old songs of our youth.
They are all, indeed, more or less epito
mized versions of momentous incidents in
their authors’ lives, which is sufficient to
account for the sympathetic interest they
awaken. They contain, although, in a
veiled form, that one “touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin.”
Perhaps one of the most generally
known and popular songs of this type is
“Robin Adair.” Its simplicity is so' fasci
nating and it is pervaded by a ring of such
genuine tenderness, that It will ever be
treasured as a model of its kind.
The circumstances under which it was
composed are not generally known nnd as
they are extremely interesting, lovers of
this simple atql touching little heart-lyric
will probably be glad to be made ac
quainted with them.
Robert Adair was a real personage, who
was born about the middle of the lost cen-
lury. He was a yuuug (Irish medical stu
dent who in order to escape the conse
quences of some youthful indiscretion in
Dublin, left the city and tied to Holyhead
en route for London. Finding on reaching
Holyhead that his slender means were ex
hausted, he set out on his long journey on
foot- He had not raveled far^ when he
reached a carriage that had been overturn
ediu tho road,the occupant of which. Lady
Caroline Kepnel, the second daughter of
the Earle of Albemarle, and young lady of
attractive appearance and manners, "was
greatly alarmed aud slightly injured.
Adair introduced himself as a young
surgeon and attended to her. He thca ex
plained his intention of journeying to
London, and as she still felt nervous and
apprehensive of further accident, she
oflered him a seat in her carriage and
begged him to accompany her to the me
tropolis. On arrival she presented him
with a hundred guineas and promised him
her assistance in obtaining a start in his
profession. This acquaintance speedily
ripened into affection, and in spite of the
opposition of her friends she determined
to marry the lover she had met under such
romantic circumstances. She was sent
abroad in the hope that she would abandon
her intention, but without avail, and her
health began to fail. She was then re
moved to Bath, England, and while
here she wrote the verses that were
destined to become familiar through the
length and breadth of, the civilized world,
and adapted them to an old Irish melody,
"kitten Aroon,” of which Robin Adair w«s
very fond.
Continued separation made such inroads
on her health that she liecame dangerously
ill, and her medical attendant despaired
of her life. Then her parents relented and
the laitliful and devoted pair were married.
The following extract from the “Grand
Magazine of Universal Intelligence” re
cords the circumstance as follows: “Feb
ruary 22, 1758. Robert Adair, Esq., to
the Right Honorable the Lady Caroline
Kcppel.” He lived to the ripe age of
eighty, but his wife died after the birth of
their third child. He never married again,
hut wore mourning in remembrance of his
love and wife for the remainder of his life,
and on hia death in 17SR7w&s buried in the
same vault with her. Their only son the
Right Honorable^Sir Robert Adair achieved
fame as a diplomatist, and died at the ripe
age of ninety-two without issue.
The Thrilling Adventure of nn English
Society CJueen.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The following adventure happened in
Bath in the year 179-. It was in the
palmy days of Bath, when that now fallen
city rivaled London in brilliancy and dis
sipation, aud when all the rich, the gay
and the highborn el England congregated
there in the sea-on and graced the balls
and assemblies. ,
jl r6> k , once the belle of the court of
George III., but at this period gradually
retiring from general society, possessed one
of the largest of the houses, ami gave in it
entertainments which were the most popu
lar of the day. She was celebrated for
three things (once for four, but tho fourth
—her heautv—was of the days gone by);
these things" were her fascination, her be
nevolence and—a Bet of the most perfect
and matchless amethysts.
Her house contained tapestried cham
bers. The walls of the one in which she
slept were hung with designs from heathen
mythology, and the finest piece in the room
was that which hung over her dressing
table. It represented Phtcbus driving the
chariot of the sun. The figures were life-
sized. It filled up the whole 6pace between
the'two windows, and the horses were con
cealed behind the high old-fashioned
Venetian looking-glass, while Phoebus him
self, six feet high, looked down by day and
by night at his mistress at her toilet.
One evening Mrs. R-—: had an unusu
ally large party at home. She wore all her
amethysts. On retiring to her room at
about 4 o’clock in the morning she took off
all her jewels, laid them on the table and
dismissed the weary maid, intending to
>ut them away herself, but before doing so
melt down as usual to say her prayers.
While engaged in her devotions, it was a
habit with her to look upward, and the
face of Phoebus was generally the object on
which her eyes most easily rested. On
this particular niglit, as usual, she raised
her eyes to Phoebus. What does she see?
Has Pygmalion been at work? Has he
filled those dull eyes with vital fire? Or,
is she dreaming"? No. Possessed natu
rally of wonderful courage and calmness,
she continued to move her lips as if in
silent prayer, and never once withdrew her
;aze, and still the eyes looked down on
ters. The light of her candles shone on
living orbs, and her good keen sight
enabled her, after a cleverly managed
scrutiny, to see that the tapestry eyes of
Phtcbus had been cut out, and that, with
her door locked and every servant m bed
in distant apartments, and all her jewels
spread out before her, she was not alone in
t le room. She concluded iter prayers
with her face sunk in her hands.
We can well imagine what those pray
era must have been! She knew there wai
some one behind the tapestry; she knew
that bells and screams were equally use
less, and she lay down in bed as usual and
waited the issue, her only omission being
that Bhe did not put away her jewels.
1 They must save my life,” she said to her
self, and she closed her eyes. The clock
struck 5 before a sound was heard, and
then the moment arrived. She heard
rustle, a descent from behind tho tapestry,
and a man stood at her dressing table. He
took off his coat, and one by one he se
cured the jewels beneath his waistcoat
What would bo his nextmove? Would it
be to the bedside or to the window? He
turned and approached her bedside, but
by that time slie had seen enough, and,
again closing iter eyes, she commended
herself to the Providence she had just been

Mr. Forepaugh eat in hb luxuriously
appointed parlor last night and talked
about hb bets. He said: “t have wagered
about $18,000 on Cleveland. The last bet
of $1,000 was made on Saturday. I have
been traveling about all over the
country for the past six

to convince me that Mr. Cleveland will
have a walk-over. I think 1 have had a
better opportunity to study the political
situation all over the country than |>eople
