THE AVEEKLY TELEGRAM: JAYUART 3, 1895.
TBS TEAR IN THE SOUTH.
Favorable Conditions Exist Despite the
Conflict With the Prevailing
Hard Times.
THE PEOSPECT FOR THIS YEAR
New Enterpriiei Were Store Numerous
Last Tear Than Tliejr Were in 1893
and Investor* Find Tbelr Ileal
Interests Lie In the South*
Baltimore, M<J.. Jan. 1.—In it* annual
review of Sov thorn condition*. the
Manufacturer*’ Reoord say«:
The Industrial situation In the South
during tile past year was ehaiucterlxwl
by a steady re-establishment of confi
dence and a slow but steady upbuild
ing of manufacturing Industries. Pre
vail! ng'cond-itlons during the year have
not encouraged unusual development,
and the general' tendency has been to
follow a conafrvuitive policy. The year
carried over as a legacy many of the
adverse conditions which were features
of the previous year. Legislative prob
lem-* of nuTTontif moment hung in uncer
tainty during Ibe greater portion of
•he year. The panicky feeling of tha
two previous years occasionally made
its influence felt, and the attitude of
foreign Investors toward American se
curities continued as a depressing fac
tor.
The year has been more a period of
recupora. on than of progress, yet
there has been a forward movement,
which, conceived with cautiousness and
a liberal application of bu-lness prin
ciples possessed all the elements ut
henithifulness. Capitalists have been
slow to foster now eaiterprises, and only
those enlisted their support whose en
vironment hits offered me most encour
aging umd legitimate prospects.
Thr Investor -became an Investigator
dui mg the year, and well planned in
dustries benefited thereby. Enduring
good resulted to the South from this
movement, and its significance is al
ready shown by a wider and more per
sonal acquaintance of the investing
public with i'ts resource*.
The record of in-ogress made during
the year shows a weil defined prefer
ence for Southern Investments, and re
flects a. more general existence of fa
vorable imptfesslons that, with the
full restoration of confidence In til*
business world will Influence a con-
Biddable tide of capital toward South
ern channels; und as the aspects of
things far the new year are more cheer
ful uum these which ushered in 1894, It
is a perfectly reasonuible deduction to
look for greater prosperity and greater
progress in 1895. The faith of Avuthen
men in the future of this section gains
new emphasis from a study of the con
trolling part their ojpitul and enter
prise played in the advancement made
during 1894.
Nearly 600 more enterprises were es
tablished In the South during 1894 than
in 1893, tho number being 3.839, as
ngu-nst 3.293 for 1893. A pronounced
few-mre In the -building of new facto
ries during the year has been the nlm
to establish a class of Industries that
wll. retain at home trade that has
heretofore -been supplied from distant
points. These new industries have
also been characterized -by the adop
tion of modem machinery and the em
ployment of skilled labor and im
proved methods. T ie aim has been not
only to successfully provide for the
home and neighboring trade, but to
Invade distant -markets for their
patronage. This la lltustrated In many
liner of Industry, particularly In the
building of machinery. Southern made
ma-hlnery is now found In'may North
ern and Western factoivs and figure to
some extent In international trade.
Southern Flour is exported to Europe In
lares canitgments and Is winning ex
tended popularity at home. The prod
ucts of tho South’s stove foundries,
canning factories, carriage and -wood
working factories, etc., are,as well
making reputntSono at home as abroad.
Broad-guaged business -methods are
winning success for Southern manu
facturers and enhancing the prestige
of Couthern Industries.

LEXOW REPLIES.
Says Dr. Parkhurat His No Ground* For
Mis Critic lorn.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 1.—Senator Lexow,
as chairman ot the New York city po
lice Investigation committee, In referring
to Dr. Parkhuret'e public criticisms on
the work of the committee. Mid he had
no answer to make to Dr. Parkhurst’s
manifesto, stating that he thought tho
work of the committee was sufficient.
He gave out the following statement:
"It Is strange Indeed that when the
crucial point was reached and Byrnes was
on the stand, as every body knew he would
be, last Saturday, nothing was suggested
that was not done; and yet this criticism.
"Mr. Moss, throughout the examination,
Btood at Mr. Goff’s side and co-operated
In the conduct of the Inquiry. Obviously
It is unnecessary to add anything else. I
have too high a regard for the doctor
to believe he Is actuated by any but the
highest and purest motives In what he
says or does. As to a ‘deal/ It is plain
that one could not be effectual unless
through a co-operation o a majority of
the committee, acting In conjunction with
all the counsel. The statement of this
proposition Is the best refutation of the
charge. Can anyone suggest a question
that was riot put, an Indictment that was
net brought—anything, In short, that was
omitted—before they criticise. To my
mind the meat of the statement is to be
found In the declaration that the com
mittee has not uncovered corrution that
exists In the police and that there still
remains work for the Society for the
Prevention of Crime to do. I wish them
Goi speed in the good wprk.
(Signed) "Clarence Lexow."
Mr. Lexow said his committee would
meet some day this week, probably to
morrow. The committee’s report, which
is to be presented to the state senate,
will be ready In about ten or twelve
weeks.
SOUTH CAROLINA’S CONDITION.
It Is Not So Blue aa Gome Croakers
Would Make It Appear.
Charleston, S. C., Jan.-l.—Th? News
and Courier will publish tomorrow a
gen.dlil review of the industnul condi
tion nf the state It has received repine**
from thirty-three of its corresponaema
practically covering the entire state
and touching generally up>n the condi
tion of iuc- iarmors, merchants, menn-
flacturers nnd working people as com
pared w'dh their condition in previous
years; bow the people generaJly have
met thi.-vr Indebtedness of the closing
year, .ind wlial credit they will be able
to ototafri in 1895; how the volume of
trade at the stores tills compared with
former years, and what policy the
farmers will adopt us to the cultivation
of cotton and provision crops in th=*
u?w year.
The replies vary very much as to
details, and the reports in several in-
Btano-s are evidently colored by the
pessimistic or optimistic sentiments of
the writers, but there Js a gene mil con
sensus of opinion that money a very
scarce; that labor is cheap and plenti
ful, aud that home-raised hog and homi
ny are mAn? abundant than In many
years.
Cotton mills, with very few excep
tions, tire reported as flourishing, hav
ing paid their usual dividend**.
Despite the? low prices of cotton,
farmers have done their best to repay
the bankers, factors aa>d merchants,
and good men van generally get credit
04 heretofore. ^
It U clear from these reports that rh**
Dcreage in cotton will be very much
reduced; tha.t provision, crops will be
planted extensively, land that tliere Will
be much fciss commercial fertilizers
bought this y'tar. Altogether the out
look Is not as blue as some of the
croakers would make it appear.

FINE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Charewton, S. O., Jan. I.—One of tba
prettiest gamra of football that was

Hon. Gilbert M. Davis Make3 Hia
Kcpovt as llio Deceiver
of the
MACON EXPOSITION COMPANY.
Stockholders, Premiums and Prizes Will
I/o Paid at tho Itale of 50 Contg on
61.00—Macon Not In National
Trotting Association.
A short tlmi? ago a petition for re
ceiver was filed by R. W. Jem Ison and
others against the Macon Fair and Ex
position Company. The prayer was
granted, and Judge Guerry, presiding
for Judge -Hardeman, appointed Mr.
Gilbert 61. Davis to take charge of
the company’s affairs.
At tbe tfone much sentiment was ex
pressed by the public-*pirited citizens
of Macon against the possibility of
letting the claims against tbe company
go unsettled. £ome m -n stated that
they would go deep Into their private
funds before such a thing should .dis
grace the good name of their city. It
was, therefore, generally believed that
there would b? out little trouble
in raising the money to settle fill debts
dollar for dollar.
But this Is not the case. Whatever
may be the result, however unfortunate
it may be for Macon’s Interests In tbs
future, the receiver has announc-d that
he will be able to pay only 50 cent* on
the dollar. Several railroads—the Cen
tral among them—have not yet
turned over the money received for
the -fair coupon* on railroad ticket*;
but Mr. Davie Has mad,? a careful es
timate of whaf this -will amount to,
and ts preparing his report to he sud-
mlltcd to Bibb ituperlor court. The re-,
port will- show that 50 per cent, will bo
i.UJ oa. tho entire indebtedness when
these money* have been received. The
total amount thu* to be expended will
be something ov -r 620,000. Purseeand
premiums will sliar; like other debts.
One of the unfortunate results of
this failure to meet her obligations
will be the -withdrawal of the Nation
al Trotting Association's connection
with afTalrs at Macon’s race track.
This will be done because of this fair
und expostion company’s failure to pay
purses. The arrangement proposed by
the receiver -will leave 62.000 yet du
on race purses, which must be paid ill
full before the track will ever again
be used under National Trotting Asso
ciation rul a.
A number of diplomas have nqt yet
been issued, but arrangements are be
ing made to have this attended to vt
onoe. The prospect 1* that those enti
tled to the diploma* will receive them
at an early date.
Receiver Davts has in his custpdy all
the medals awarded by the exposition,
Lind they also wilt at once be Issued to
the proper panties.
HE’S A DANDY.

fort that. New York hatters and bootmak
ers cannot correctly copy the English
styles, In Mr. Kip's opinion.
Like the Prince of Wales, Mr. Kip has
his silk hats made on hiB own biock in
London, and they nro always of the ssrno
shape—short, broad crowned and wide
brimmed—regardless of the varying styles
worn by other people. Ho never wears a
list that has not been freshly Ironed. His
frock coats reach to bis knees, are well cut
In at tho waist, and tho Instant he doffs n
suit it is pressed by his valet. He has
about 40 pairs of trousers In a season and
rarely wears the same pair twlco n week.
It Is unnecessary to add that they nover,
under any circumstances, bag even a six
teenth of an Inch nt tho knees.
One secret of Mr. Kip's success is his
quietness and good taste. He never goes
to extremos. He usually duns about 30
overyday suits, four dress salts and threo
tailless coats In the courso of a season. lie
wears varnished patent leather shoes all
