Tho Southern Exhibits.

The exhibits Of the Southern States at
New Orleans are attracting good deal
of attention from Northern and Western
visitors. because they show something
that has not been very generally recOg-
nized. viz: that the Industries of the
South are becoming greatly diversified.
In the Northern mind the impression is
strong that the South pays attention to
little else than cotton, sugar and rice.
The Southern exhibits. however, correct
this impression, and show that, prominent
as these products are in the South, there
are other sources of wealth which promise
in very few wears to bring the South
greater riches than are obtained from
cotton and sugar.
The extent Of the mineral wealth OF the
South is not understood except by a lew
Pennsylvania cannot much longer main
tain her supremacy as producer OF IRON
and coal. Even now Alabama iron mas
market in Philadelphia. Not long ago
the coal used in Southern cities was
brought from the North. The south now
produces her own coal. 1t is probable
that before another generation her iron
and coal productions will equal, if they do
not surpass. those of the North.
Her growth in manufacturing has been
marvellous. She has 1,2J0000 spindles
now. and this number is certain to be
largely increased every year. The age OF
iron ships has come, and why should not
the ship be built where the cheapest iron
can be obtained?
The South is comparatively bare OF
railroads vet. In all the Southern States,
however, roads are projected, and the
work Of constructing them will be begun
as soon as the present period OF business
| depression passes.
/ The visitor at the exposition who sees
/ what great and varied sources Of wealth
! the south has returns to his home with a
\ very different idea of the future of the
/ south than that which he previously en-
\ tertained.
1t must be remembered that this is the
! first time that the South has attempted a
! complete exhibit Of her wealth. She was
| hardly known at the centennial, and
made. but a partial exhibit at either the
/ Atlanta or Louisville fairs. Those who
! only know the South of quarter of a cen
/ fury ago would hardly recognize the
I south that appears at New Orleans
/ There is an industrial revolution going
/ on-a revolution that is producing the
most surprising results.
