The Progressive south.


The Lynchburg Advance notes the
fact that two significant items OF
news from the south appeared a few
days ago. One was that the volume
Of trade had increased $1,000 900 in
Augusta, Ga, a city ofless than 3d.
600 population, during the past
year; the other that syndicate OF
New York capitalists had invested
100000 in a land approximations
PAW at Annlston, Ala.
The Advance agrees with the
Washington Post that all this is
evidence that the south seems to
have entered on a careerof prosperity
that is unexampled in her history.
There was no time previous to the
war when her wealth wasso great in
the aggregate or of such diversified
character as it is to-day.
Her systems of transportation
have been vastly improved of late.
East of the Mississippi nearly all of
the lines of railway have been con-
solidated under the Richmond and
Danville management. While there
may be incidental cases Of hardship
resulting to shippers from the con-
'solidation of so many different but
notalways competing lines, there are
still advantages under the new man
agement, especially in the States af-
fected just at this moment, that will
far outweigh any injury done. Con-
solidation in this instance means i'm
proved management, improved roads
and rolling-stock, new and connect
ing lines, and greater facilities for
shipment.
No better proof could be found of
faith in the future of the South than
the fact that the money has been
found to organize, build up, and
equip the Richmond and Danyille
system Of more than 1000 miles of
railway.
There are more unused business
opportunities in the South than any
other portion of the Union. Its vast
deposits of coal and iron ore, such as
can be found in West Virginia,
Tennessee and Alabama, its I'M
mense forests Of pine and other mer-
charitable tirnbers to be found in
North Carolina, West Virginia and
Florida, have hardly been touched.
Great business activity and wealth
must come from these IN the neal
future, while cotton, tobacco ant
sugar win be produced in increased
quantities.
Every patriotic, fair-minded cit
izen must reioics that the heav,
hand Of misfortune that fell on thu
South with such destructive powe
in 1851 andlay there with unloosen
cd clutch for almost quarter Of I
century. is at last about to be re
moved.

story Of the IRISH priest who was

Of his horse-whipping, and, being

Monday afternoon, about four
o'clock or few minutes after. when
the REooRDER forms had been closed
and were being pat on the press, there
occurred an explosion at the works
of the Builders and Manufacturers
Supply Co., which startled the people
in that vicinity and many who we're
upon the street. To those who were
out of doors it sounded like heavy
blast
The shops of the Builders and
Manufacturers Supply Co, of which
Mr.. j. w. Blackwell is President, is
located on Peabody street about mid
way between Cocorsn and Green
streets. They were in full operation
Monday evening and workmen were
engaged in their usual duties about
the machinery, when, at the hour
named, there was a loud report and
the shops were thrown into chaos.
Tue boiler Of the engine exploded,
bursting with tremendous force, Just
above the fire box. The engine house
was a small wooden building attached
to the east end of the shops proper.
This part of the building was CONS
ple,ely d, molIshed, with tine excep-
ton Of one end, and q greater portion
of it torn into kindling wood. The
east end of the machine shop was
blown out and fragments of the wood
heS ar.und over the machinery and
workmen. One piece of the boiler,
about two feet long and ten inches
wide, was hurled over the heads of
the frightened workmen knocking
things winding as it went, and finally
striking a band saw, knocking it out
of gear. The inside window of Mr..
Is Z. Watts Office, which is under the
same roof, was knocked out and il
made him think Of vacating in a
hurry. The shop was filed with
smoke, steam, dust and flying missiles
and every thing was iu the greatest
state of confusion for the time being,
but the workmen had presence 81
mird enough to fse from their lives,
1t is a miracle that some Of then
we're not killed, so complete was the
demolition of the engine house. The
force of the explosion may be imag'
ined when the large iron boiler was
moved from its base and twisted
around some four or FIVE feet from 1T
proper place. ~
