SOUTHERN ACTIVITY.
Capitalists are beginning to
lay new emphasis upon the south
as a field for investment, per
ceiving the opportunities afford
ed by ihe contiguity of its ports
and supplies of raw materials to
the new fields opened to trade
by the acquisition of Porto Rico
and the occupation of Cuba.
The strides made by that fa--
vored section in the industry of’
spinning and weaving cotton are '
being quicaened. North Carolina
in ISB6 had 80 cotton mills,
running 199,433 spindles. Tiiis
year it has 1,010 cotton mil’s,
which turn 1,044,385 spindles.
Georgia has shown a marked ■
increase in her plants for making ,
cotton cloths. Texas, Mississip
pi, Alabama, Tennessee and
South Carolina have all madei
good starts in the establishment
of cotton mills.
It is beyond question that the
South is today the most promis
ing iron district in the world.
Alabama, East Tennessee
and North Georgia are adding
to their manufactures of iron
continually and their blast fur
naces and coke ovens are grow
ing steadily in number and ca
pacity .
Steel making has proven so
successful at Bessemer and Mid.
dlesborough that two new steel
plants have begun building at
Birmingham The average ex
port <?’ pig iron from that town
s now 1 1)0 tons per day.
N< w in.itioads are being built
and u d oa s extended; crops are
being diversified ; fruit culture,
cattle, sheep, horse and fowl
raising aro being promoted ; oil
wells are being bored: lumber
mi Is are being increased; cotton
seed oil mills, furniture factories
and other industries are spring
ing up in several of the southern
states;and a general air of prog
ress is noted oyer the greater
portion of their area. The south
is not merely looking up in a
business way; she is forging
rapidly to th* front in the race
for agricultural and industrial
supremacy.
James R. Keene estimates
that the country is one billion
dollars and a half richer than it
was four years ago. The Haver
hill Evening Gazette wants to
know who got the stuff, and
says mighty little of it has drift
ed in that direction.
One of the Spanish peace
commissioners says, concerning |

American women will oppose
tiie < ffort of Brigham Roberts to '
take his seat in congress as &■

SIX BALES OF COTTON ON.j
ONE ACRE.

er who lives near Yorkville, crea
ted considerable astonishm. nt
among our cit zu- a f K w days ago!
by announcing that he had an acre I
of land which produced six bales i
ot ci ton Ibis siuson, Mr Vinson I
exp’aifiea what seemed to ba uni
inq Odsible occurrence, by saving
ijhat the acre was planted in Irish 1
potatoes and produce 1 < nprigh to
firing a sum of money equal to 8 x
bales ci cott n at present prices.
He has been selling potatoes here
in Rockmart at ore dollar per
bush el.
Mr. Vinson has solved the prob
lem of farming in the a >uth aid
of growing four cent cotton at a
profit. He raises bread and meat
and produce for home consump
tion and for the markets, and
j his cotton piy s. even at our cents.

the founda ion for many incurable
diseases. No persons with a vig

victim to cot.sumption. Many kid

date their beginning from poor

“He’s a better Democrat

had a bank roll the soldiers let
them pass If not, not. A gang
of newsbiys stood in a bunch '
near the horses. They looked at ■
