I last three years have seen more
| than a hundred and fifty new es-
; tablishments founded for this pur-
; pose. The south -used to buy of
I others all its hardware and agri-
| cultural implements. Now it real
izes its wealth of coal and iron,
| and in three years has started sev-
i enty-six iron furnaces, fifty-two
iimplement factories, and about
; three hundred machine shops and
1 foundries. More than a score g£
car and locomotive works in the j
south are now supplying rolling
stock for the 20,000 miles of rail
road huilt since 1830; three hun
dred canning factories ha’^p been
opened in three years to use up
southern fruit; and glass,brick, fur
niture, vehicles and and hosts of
Other articles are now being made j
at home out of the south’s own law
materials. This js solid prosperity.
This is substantial progress. This,
is raising the south from the de

cultural country to the independ
ent manhood of a. symmetrical!} 7

it horizontally upon the latter’s
chest. The proceeding'.was equiv
alent to a summons, and the man
appeal before the mayor
under penalty of being cast into
prison. This custom was import
ed from Spain, where it still pre
vails in the more important sec
tions. The cane of early Ameri
can history, like that of Biblical
times, was part or the repertory of
the leaders of the church. It was
the principal badge of the deacon.
The cane was about five feet long.
One end was embellished with a
b : g knob, the other with feathers.
When the small boy rebelled
against the straighbacked pew he
got a rap on the head with the un
charitable end of the cane. If the
head of the family got to dreaming
about Ills old English home, and
the cosy.little nest in one of the
shires, the turkey’s plumage on
the deacon’s cane feathered the
sleeper into lift again.

the biackthora stick is one of the
most cherished by cane connois
seurs.

more successfully. Here, for ox-
, ample, is a man who is in receipt
of a salary at the rate of two thou
sand'dollars a year, and T he lias a
■ family to support. This salary is
in -tweiyp monthly payments. Let
us suppose him to keep an account
with himself. \V hen he receives
s a monthly payment be charges
himself as debtor to that amount;,
and during the- month he credits
himself with all he pays out, item
by item. At the end of the month
die settles this account with him
self, and sees ou paper'just where
•the money came from and just
where it has gone. If 'he spent
less Thau he received he carries the
-surplus ou to tire next month, and
keeps an account of the month in
the same way, and thus continues
for the whole year. At the end of
the year he can look back over the
whole period, and see in black and
white just how ha has lived in the
matter of personal and family ex-,
penses. If his whole salary has
.been spent he c n see how it was
spent; and, if a part of it has been
.saved, he can equally see how he-
managed to save it.

in items his wisdom or folly in his

that most men in this world suc

or fail by prodigality in- little'
things. A regular account kept
•with one's self will show him this
fact, placing before his eye either
his wisdom or his eraor; and if the
latter, suggesting to him where
and in what manner to make a
change.
. The question of expenses, as
compared with income, is a very
vital question in the matter of
economical thrift. .The man who
spends all he receives, if poor, will
always keep himself in that state.
He who spends less than he re-;
ceives will be constantly improv

Horace Ternet, the artist, was
going from Versailles to Paris by
railways In the same compart
ment were two ladies whom he had
not seen before, but who were . evi
dently acquainted, with him. They
examined him minutely, and com
mented freely upon his martial
bearing, his hale old age, the
style of his dress, ate. They con
tinued their annoyance until final
ly the painter determined to put
an end to the persecution. A3 the
train passed through |Jie tunnel of
St. Cloud the three travellers
were wrapped in complete dark
ness. 'Vernet raised the back-of
his hand to his mouth and kissed
it twice violently. On emerging
from the obscurity he found that
the ladies had withdrawn their
attention from hint and were ac
cusing each other of- having been
kissed by a man in the dark.
Presently they arrived at Paris,
and Vernet, on leaving them said:
“Ladies; I shall be troubled all
my life by the inquiry, which of
these two ladies was it that kissed
The total production of pig iron
in the .south last year was 1,065,-
000 ner tons. Of this Alabama
made 311,000 tous, Tennessee
27.8,000 tons, and Virginia 217,009
tons. This is an increase of 135,-
000 tons over 1387,-while in the
rest of the country the production
of pig iron was 500,000 tons less
than in 1837.
Omitting Texas, the south built
2,172 miles or railroad in 188S,
against 1,915 in 1837, an incre-.se.
of 257, while the total construction
for the whole country was 6,000
miles less than in 1887. In 1886
the south built 20 per cent, of the
total railroad mileage of that year;
in 1887 it built 25 per cent., and in
1888 it had 35 per cent. * -

After you get angry and stop
your paper, says the Keowee Cou
rier, just poke your finger in water
and pull it out and look for the
hole. Then you will know how
badly you are missed. A man
who thinks a paper cannot thrive
without his support, ought to go
off ami stay awhile..- - When he,
comes back half of his friends prill
not know that he was gone, and
the other half will not care a cent,
while the world at large kept no
account of his movements. You
will find things that you cannot
endorse in every pane#. Even the
Bible is rather plain and hits some
hard licks. If you were to get
mad and burn your Bible the hun
dreds of presses would still go on
printing it, and when you stop
your paper and call the _ editor
names, the paper will still be pub
lished, and' what is more—you
will read it on the sly.
