me soun,s IniiH5trI1i Produce.

Since 1879 the South has added 1000
miles to her railroad mileage, the building
of which, added t0 The investments in old
roads and iheiF improvement, must foot up
but little, if any, short of 100000, 900.
The assessed 7al1' of property in The South,
notwithstanding the fact that the assess
ments are much less than the actual cash
value of property, and that large amount
of manufacturing properly that has been
created since 1879 Is not represented in the
tax assessments, owing to exemption laws,
shows an increase of S9, 600 O0O,O00 since
1879. The production Of corn has increas.
ed from 334 600. 900 bushels in 1879 to 1885,
5000 bushels in lSS5-a gain of To-, ,OO0,-
600 bushels-and OF oats, from 1900 600
bushels to about 10000 600 bushels, while
of tobacco, fruits and vegetables, the grass-
es, etc, the increase has been equally Is sat
isfactory In the raising Of hogs and live
stock generally the same wonderful prog
reSs has been shown.
In manufacturing, we have seen the num-
Der Of cotton mills increase from $50 to 3j3,
and the number of spndes and looms from
7l9. .9S9 and Is, 5,222, respectively, to 400,
697 and 27,OO4-a gain of about 100 per
cent Cotton seod-oil mills that in 1880
numbered 40, with capital Of S3,504, 800,
now number 146, and their capital is slO,-
1872. $50. In 1880 the South made 397 ,30l
tons of pig iron in 1884 it made 657 ,599
tons-a gain of 2G0, 29S tons. Three States
Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee-that
in 1850 produced LIS, ,006 tons Of pig iron,
in 1884 produced 48l IA tons--an increase
of 303, 738 tons, or $500 tons more than
the net increase in the United States, the
production in the whole country outside of
these thres States being less in 1884 than in
1880 In 1880, COS, 81 tons of coal were
mined in the South, and in 1884 the output
was l0,S440jl tons. The stfI0dni Of phOs-
phate rock mined in South Carolina in 1880
was 10000 tons and the capital invested
in the busines. was So 493, 300, while now
the capital Il over S6,5OO,OOO and the
mount of rock mined largely over 100000
tons.
These are simply few facts that Ne have
thrown in to emphasize the industrial de
velopment Of the South.- Bqhimore Manu-
