Western civilization is certainly mak
ing headway in the Orient. The latest
advance move is the perfecting of ar
rangements to introduce trolley-cars
at Cairo, Egypt, and later to construct
a trolley-car line to connect that city
with the pyramids, and also with the
city of Alexandria. Negotiations have
just been completed by the Westing
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company for the building and equip
ment, at Pittsburg, Pa., of fourteen
electric cars for use in the city of Cairo.
As soon as the residents of that ancient
town become accustomed to the in

and equipped.—Youth’s Instructor a

The Industrial South.
At a recent meeting at Southern
Pines, N, C., designed to interest north
ern investors in southern development,
Col. J.B.Killebrew, of Nashville, Tenn..
presented un interesting paper on the
south as a field for the investment of
cupital. Among other things he said:
“The South is the coining center of
the world’s industry. The clouds of
prejudice and ignorance that have ob
scured its splendor are passing away.
It combines a greater number of favo
|S»ble conditions for human activity
’and human effort than any other
Spuntry on the globe. There is no
country in which are produced
of the most powerful factors for
stimulating industry, and which stand
at the head of all others for furnishing
by their manufacture the greatest num
ber of people with the means of living.
These factors are coal, iron, phosphate,
cotton and tobacco. It would be diffi
cult in any other country to find more
than three of these ”
“Nothing but a great and terrible
convulsion of nature or the total des
truction of all moral and civil govern
ment, or a rate of taxation so oppress
ive as to work a practical confiscation
of property, or domestic dissensions so
intense as to paralyze energy in indus
trial pursuits, can prevent the South
from having a population at the end of
the next decade as great as the whole
United States had in 1880, and from
making a corresponding advance in all
her industries. New oceans and bil
lows of thought are sweeping over our
people which will bring about a real
ization of a ‘new heaven and a new
earth.’ This happy region combines all
the elements of health, physical enjoy
ment and prosperity. It is capable of
building up and sustaining the very
highest civilization.
“In the imperial glory and amenity
of its climate, in the fertility and ver
satility of its soil, in the purity and
sweetness of its atmosphere, in the
beauty and clearness of its sky, in the
grandeur and splendor of its mountain
scenery, in the pastoral beauty and
fruitfulness of its lower
