JAY GOULD on THE SOUTH

Gould upon a number Of Southern
topics. Says the correspondent.
Mr.. Gould is certainly one of the
most remarkable men whom | have
ever met. He states that the South
ern States have made such progress
since the wan as was never made bv
| New England, even in her palmi-
est days. While the politicians
have been berating that section,
her people continued at work, until
now the business world is awaken
ing to the fact that ethe progress of
the South is enchanting the atten-
ton of capitalists everywhere. The
mountain section south of Blue
Ridge, from North Carolina across
to the Mississippi is bound to be-
come the greatest manufacturing
country in the world, and Atlanta
and Birmingham will be cities with
a population of half a million each.
The outlook for cotton manufac-
lures, freighted as it is with wealth,
will be eclipsed by the iron inter
ests, which truly are marvellous
The two brightest public men in
the South, who appreciate the full
possibilities of the future, are Sena-
tor Brown, of Georgia, and Senator
Jones, of Florida. Southern lands,
both for agricultural and timber
purposes, they consider sone of the
safest investments possible. With.
in five years Florida will supply
the fruit market with tropical pro-
ducts. Pensacola, he says, will OBJ
tain rank as a seaport next after
New Orleans. Mr.. Gould express
es his determination Of spending
his winters for the future in Florida"

JAMES GRAHAM,s TROUBLES.
lie Tells How Ills Wife Ran His Farm In
virginia.

James s. Graham, who has entered suit for
divorce from Sarah A. Graham, yesterday
filed an answer to the petition of his wife for
alimony and counsel fees through his solicitor,
Mr.. Thomas +. Miller. He says that In 1880,
when he married the defendant, she was
without means and he provided her with n
comfortable home on his farm In Virginia
The farm was unproductive, atd in 1851 he
came to this city to obtain employment to
better support his family and left her on the
farm with sufficient stock to work 1t and pro-
vide her with food Since he has been In this
city and up to about one month ago he sent
nearly all of his earnings to her, and has
from time to time purchased stock
and sent II to the farm. In 1882 he
discovered that the representations she made
to him at the time of their marriage, to the eff
feet that she was the widow of Fred. l.. Smith,
were untrue, and that Smith was living. He
communicated this to her, and she admitted 1t
to be true. He permitted her to live on the
farm, but refused longer to support her. About
three weeks ago, without his knowledge or
consent she sold number of cattle belonging
to him and kept the proceeds. She shipped
valuable horse of his to this city, and sold 1t
to a man named Mcdonald for $40. She also
shipped the furniture here, and now has pos
session of 1t. The property of his that she sold
he thinks, is worth 500, and by disposing OF 1t
she has deprived him of the means With which
to work the farm, and left him without any
available resources whatever, and he has not
u dollar with which to pay alimony or counsel
fees,
