The PROGRESS Of the South.

We present below some facts
gathered from recent issues of the
Manufacturers Record which serve
to show the rapid strides the south
ern states are making as manufac-
turing area.
There are now over $4,000 more
establishments in the fourteen
southern states than there were in
1879, the year the census was taken,
and the list extends over almost the
whole range of human industry,
embracing pig iron furnaces, foun
dries, machine shops, steel works,
cotton and wooden mills, cotton
seed oil mills, cotton congresses.
fruit canning factories, carriage and
and wagon factories, agricultural
implement factories, -four mills,
grist mills, saw mills, planning mills,
sash, door and blind factories, shut
tie factories, handle and spoke fac
tories, barrel factories, shingle
mills, furniture factories, tobacco
factories, brick yards, ice factories,
fertilizer factories, etove foundries,
wire fence factories, lime works,
soap factories, tanneries, glass
works, gas works, whiting factories,
distilleries, potteries, electric light
works, marble and slate quarrying
companies, and companies to mine
coal, iron, ore, gold, silver, mica, ma
tural gas, oil, etc.
The amount of capital and CAPT
tai stock of new enterprises organ
lied in the south in 1885 alone ag-
gregated over $60,000,OoO. The
railroad mileage OF the south has
been increased by the addition of
over 10, 400 miles since 1850. Since
that year nearly 1915, 100000 has
been spent in building new roads
and improving old ones. The as
sossed value of property has increas-
ed nearly 81, 900, 0O0,09O since 1879.
This does not show the full increase
in the value of property, since there
is a very large amount of msnufac-
turing property created since 1879
which does not appear in the tax
assessments, being exempt by law
from taxation. In 1880 the south
made 397,30I tons of pig iron and
in 1885 III, 1896 tons, a gain Of 3d.

Giving Security.
BY WALDO F. BROWN.

Indiana Farmer,
/ will add a few words to what
said to the readers of the Farmer
recently about going security. /
wish to impress upon my readers
the fact that they should be exceed
ingly careful as to whom they al
low to become security for them, as
by accepting man as endorser for
you, you place yourself under an
obligation to him which will make
it difficult if not impossible to re-
fuse him should he ask your sigma
ture to note. The safe plan is to
make an agreement with some one
in whom you have perfect conf
dence that you will endorse for him
and he for you, with the promise
that neither of you will put your
names to any other PERSONS notes
without the consent of the other.
1 think am right when say that
if anyone should endorse for every
one who asked it he would run
great risk Of bankruptcy and it is
very convenient to be able to say
when importuned, 81 am under a
written promise not to do this for
anyone without the consent of a
friend" Even if you should, after
consulting your friend, endorse the
note it will give you time to sscer-
tain the standing of the man who
wants your signature. 1 speak of
this because once had q very mar
rev escape after / had an agree
ment with an excellent man not to
go security for any one without his
consent. / had bought $500 worth
of cattle some miles away and my
endorser was to meet me at the bank
at 8 o'clock to sign the note for 90
days. 1 was on hand promptly bat
he was tardy and as l had quite
distance to 60 1 became impatient.
A lawyer who was quite a promi-
nent politician and who was report
ed to be wealthy was in the bank
and overhearing nay conversation
came forward with great suavity
and said, Don't give yourself a mo-
ments uneasiness, my dear sir, or
wait any longer. 1t will give me
great pleasure to sign your note"
Without stopping to think of the
obligation 1 should be placed under
to him by allowing it, 1 accepted
his signature. Within year he
died, a bankrupt and a sot, and
men in the community whe had en-
dorsed his Daper lost thousands of
dollars by him, and l never could
understand how I escaped being
asked to endorse for him, for the
sequel proved that he was keeping
up his grand style of living by bor-
rowing money on paper with good
endorsers. Had be asked me to do
so how could 1 have refused to
sign his paper after having accept
ed him as my endorser?

eovernmsnt bv snap Of the Finger.

A few days ago, cigar maker
walked into the Office of William
Strange of Paterson, N. j., who
employs ], 200 persons in his large
silk mills, and demanded that he
sign an order which would revolu-
tionlze the dyeing shop. Mr..
Strange declined to do so, where
upon the cigar maker at once went
out, and as he passed the dyeing
shop snapped his fingers, at which
signals all the operators in the shop
dropped their work and left the
premises. They subsequently adj
mltted that they had no grievance,
and that they were indignant at be-
ing ordered to stop work, but they
claimed that under the law of their
labor organization they had no OPP
tion.
Mr.. Strange, who seems to have
acted coolly and fairly, told his
people that he could not do busl-
neos on that plan. If it had come
to this, that stranger and an out
slider could walk along the corri-
doris of his mill and stop all the
work he had In hand by a snap OF
his finger, he would shut up his
mandatory and employ his capt.
tai in other ways. And he should
do this, not in passion, or out OF
spite, but because he could not af-
ford to do business under such
conditions. He would not feel JUS
tilted in assuming the responsible
ty OF contracts, IN making invest
ments in real estate and machinery
and the like, if his whole business
could be paralyzed at at any mo-
ment at the within of a dictator.
The love of power is an instinct
with all, and it is not surprising
that the labor element, now that it
sees the strength to be derived
from association, should like to use
that strength more or less wanton
ly. But ignorance and passion will
ruin any cause. Labor can only be
really strong by being right. And
the labor cause will break down un-
less it studies the principles of hu-
man society and obeys them. In
the case just cited, If the facts are as
reported, these fundamental princi-
Piles Of liberty and order are ig-
nored; and the result can only be
confusion and ruin. Whatever the
remedy for labor troubles may be,
certainly it is not the snap of the
fnger.-N. Y. Com. Advertiser.

Mr.. PoWderlH,s Liquor Views.

General Master Wor kman Pow
derby has no love for the Iiouor
sellers. They are one of the classes
prescribed by the constitution Of
the Knights of Labor. In his last
address made to the general cenven-
ton Of Knights of Labor, Mr.. Pow
derby said: sThe temperance ones
ton is an important one, and ]
sometime think it is the main is-
sue. The large number of appliea-
tions during the past year to grant
dispensations to allow the initia
ton of um-sellers was alarming.
l have persistently refused them.
and will enjoin my successor, if he
values the future success of the or
der, to shut the door with triple
bars against the admission of the
liquor dealer. His path and that of
the no nest, industrious workman
lie in opposite directions. The
rum seller who seeks admission in
to a labor society does so with the
object that he may entice it's mem
bers into his saloon after the meet
lug has closed. No question of in
terest to labor hasl ever been salts
factorily settled over bar in a
rumhole. No labor society ever adj
mitted a rum seller that did not
die a drunkard's death. No work
man ever drank a glass of rum that
did not rob his family of the price
of it,,and in doing so committed
the double crime, murder and theft.
He murders the intellect with
which the Maker hath endowed
him. He steals from his family
the means of sustenance he has
earned for them. Turn to the an
malls of every labor society, and you
will see whole pages blurred and
destroyed by the accursed foot
prints of rum. Scan the record of
meeting at which a disturbance
took place, and you will hear echo
ing through the hall the maudlin,
fiendish grunt of the drunken brute
who disturbed the harmony of the
meeting.
'In the whole English language
l can find no word that strikes
more terror to my soul than the
one word RUM 1t vas born in
hell ere the fiat of no redemption
had gone forth. It's life on earth
has been of ruin to the hopes of
y outh. and the peace of age. 1t
has robbed childhood of its delights
1t has stolen the laugh from the lips
of innocence, the blood from the
cheeks of manhood. 1t has touched
the heart of old age like the tip of
poisoned arrow It's sounds, as
it gurgles from the neck of a bottle,
echoes through many a desolate
household as the kissing of thou
sand serpents. You may deem me
too radical on this point. Yet
never interfere with the right of
any any man to drink if he SO elects.
l hold l have right to and do shun
rum as 1 would an enraged tiger,
neither meddling with it nor allow
ing it to meddle with me. So long
as it keeps its distance 1 am CON
tent to leave it alone, but the
the moment it attemts to interfere
with my rights by coming into the
Knights of Labor, then my soul
rises in arms again st it, and / can
find no words too bitter, no denun-
clatiOn too scathing to hurl against
it."

Experience in Growing Oats.

! Editors Indiana Farmer.
In the Farmer of March Is, some
one asks for information and expe-
rience in oat culture, so 1 thought
would give mine. / have only
been farming five years and all that
know about farming is what l
have learned in that time. The first
year / plowed the ground very deep
and put it in very fine condition. L
sowed about two bushels per acre
as near as l could. When / had
them threshed they averaged only
20 bushels per acre. They were
white and black mixed. was dis
couraged, but l happened to notice
a piece in some paper saying not to
cultivate very deep, so i thought /
would try 1t again. So the next
year l tried q small field that con
tains five acres of plowed ground.
l only plowed it from two to three
inches deep and sowed ten bushels
Of seed on the plat, and the result
was a very heavy crop. So when
threshed they turned off $50 bush
els, or so bushels per acre. 1 tried
the same plan last year, and al
though it was very dry in the To-
cality, 1 got Ill bushels from three
acres. want to sow ten acres this
spring and shall follow the same
plan. If any one has n better plan
l would like to hear from them
through the Farmer. j. N. H.

How to Rear Children.
Treat them kindly.

Treat them kindly. -
Don't preach politeness and pro
priety to them, and violate the laws
yourself. In other words, let the
example you set them be a good
one.
Never quarrel in their presence
If you want to quarrel, wait until
the children are gone to bed. Then
they will not see you, and perhaps
by that time you may not want to
quarrel.
Never speak fippantly of neigh
bors before children. They may
meet the neighbours children, and
have talk about it.
Teach them to think that the
little boy in rags has a heart in him
in spite of the rags-and a stomach,
too.
Teach them, as they grow older,
that a respectful demeanor to others,
gentle tone of voice, a kind dispo.
sition, a generous nature, an hon
est purpose and an industrious
mind are better Ithan anything else
on earth. Teach them these things
and self-reliance and intelligence
and capahilIty will come of them
selves. Teach them these things,
and your boys and girls will grow
up to be noble men and women.

534 tons. In the south alone was
there any gain in the production of
pig iron in 1885 as compared with
1880, the rest OF the country show
ing a falling off. Three states
Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee
produced in 1880 I7S,O06 tons and
in 1885 $50, 4l9, an increase of 374,-
4I3 tons. In the United States,
emitting these three states, there
was a decrease of 139,95S tons. In
1880 6.04S,57I tons of coal were
mined in the south, and in 1885 the
output was 11,966,O 600 tons. The
production of bituminous coal in
the south in 1885 showed an in
crease of more than 100000 tons
over 1884, while in the United
States as whole there was a de-
crease of 100000 tons.
The people of the south are Civ
ing their attention more and more
to the development of their magni-
cent resources by the establishment
of manufacturing and mining enter
prises. Outside capital is going
south for the same purpose. The
exhaustless beds Of coal and iron
ore and the limitless forests of eve
ry species of timber are leading to
the opening of mines, the building
of furnaces, foundries and machine
shops, the establishments of mills
and factories in every line of indus
try. In all branches of manufac-
ture there is activity and progress
In view of the progress the south
is making in all lines of industry it
assumes a tremendous Importance
as a market for all kinds Of machin-
cry, mill, factory and mining sup
plies, hardware, roofing, builders
and contractors supplies, etc.

A standing antidote for poison by
dew, poison oak, ivy, etc, is to take
handful of qaicklime, dissolve in
water, let it stand half an hour
then paint the poisoned parts with
it. Three or four applications will
never fail to cure the most aggrava-
ed case. Poison from bees, hornets,
spider bites, etc, is instantly ares
ted by the application of equal parts
of common salt and bicarbonate of
soda, well rubbed in on the place
bitten or stung.

The most important product on
the farm are the farmers children.
The healthtulness of the home and
excellence of the school are both to
be secured. The latter is by no
means sufficiently considered. The
children spend large part OF their
time in school houses that too of
ten are less comfortable and attrac-
tive than their fathers barns, and
stabIes.-N Y. Tribue.

The fact that so many of our or
chards have ceased to be profitable,
and only produce second class fruit,
is often solely because we are starv-
ing our trees. The orehardist who
neglects to care for his trees, and
feed the soil, has no more right to
expect permanent good results than
the stock grower has who only &C.
casionally feeds his live stock. We
feed our cattle, sheep, ETC., regular
" every day and examine their con-
dItion at least weekly, even when on
pasture; we study and cultivate our
other crops of all kinds to the best
of our ability, but apples may show
their stunted condition to a man at
a car window as plainly as stunt
ed, starved pig, yet the owner will
think it al right unless his usual
crop of fruit fails to appear and
then he will blame the unfavOrable
season, soil, climate-anything
rather than the true cause, his own
neglect.-G. II. Miller.

characteristics Of Ameri-
cans The Evils and How
Restored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent IS fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer.
lean people are fast, under these influences,
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail.
fications; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised tor TINS widespread complaint,
but none of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That ne has been
troubled with general debility and dyspeP-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
is wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus & Co., Springfield, o.,
writes We are having a good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as we'll as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needh1m, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: " have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. 1 was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUNA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA safe and
grand medicine"
