SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

The development of the South is
already in progress, and in a few
years that section will TEEN with in
dnstrial life and activity. On every
side the outlook is promising, and
all indications point to a degree of
prosperity equalling if not surpass-
ing, the most favored periods in
the history of any country in the
world. Some days ago, in dis
cussing the future of the South, a
well-posted gentleman from that
section said: '.The South is entering
upon an era of railway building and
development which will completely
revolutionize that section in another
ten years. Within the past two or
three years an immense amount of
Northern capital has been quietly
put into the mineral districts of
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
North Carolina, the timber tracts of
Mississippi, Virginia and other
Southern States, and in cotton fields;
and now Northern energy, assisted
by the best intelligence of the South,
is at work developing the property.

thing; it is all business. New York

There IS an impression rather

p ominently belonged to the advo-
cacy of cooperative ideas. Proba-

such hand-m-hand or brotherhood
idea, the flame expired as soor
as lighted, the wood being to,
