HOW THE SOUTH GROWS.
THE RECORD OF A WEEKS NEW
INVESTMENT.
Industrial Establishments Springing Up
Everywhere - Progress Entirely IN
checked - New Railroad Prospects -
What is Going On in Tennessee.

From the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
Reports TO the Manufact,rers' Record
show that the past week has witnessed the
contamination Of large number of great
enterprises in railroad and industrial circles
throughout the south. The faith Of north
ern capitalists in southern railroad securi-
ties is shown in the placing Of $40, 100000
Of bonds OF the Georgia Central railroad
through Drexel, Morgan 4 Co., and the
negotiations, now reported as closed, for the
purchase of 100000 OF the Kentucky
Midland road. The Plant Investment
company has subscribed for portion OF
the bonds Of the Alabama Midland road,
which probably insures the early building
Of that line from cambridge, Ga, to Mont
gomery. A number OF large contracts have
been let during the week for important
extensions OF old roads and the building
Of new ones, indicating great activity in
railroad construction throughout the
south. The Pioneer Manufacturing COM
pany, Of Birmingham, owned by the
Thomas Iron company people, OF Penn
sylvania, will build duplicate furnace OF
the one lately completed, and also a 100
ton rolling mill, at cost OF probably over
$500, 0OO $4,000 coal mining COM

ASLEEP FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Mr.. Herman Haines, of Utica.
Minnesota, has slept almost contin-
ually for seven years. lie has been
treated in dozen different WAYS. but
no one has been able to break his
protracted slumber. Powerful eIec-
trio batteries have been applied TO
his body, the only effect being CON
traction OF the muscles. Haines IS
now - years old, and ten years ago
was prosperous farmer in st. Clair
county, Ill. At that time he was
hale and hearty, his weight being 1870
pounds
In 1917, he was stricken with f..
yer and ague, and in the spring Of
1850 moved to st. Charles, Winona
county, whence he was brought 70
Utica. a few months after his ar
rival in that State he tell asleep. and
he has lived in this strange condition
Tor more than seven years.
In the summer of 1884 he awoke
one morning, arose from his bed, put
on his clothes and went about his
work. When told that he had slum-
bered four years, he grew indignant
and would not believe that he had
slept more than a night until led be-
fore a mirror and shown his lonr
black hair and beard and sunken
checks and eyes. For Il month his
health and habits seemed perfect.
lie went to bed at the usual hour,
slept through the night, and arose
with the lark.
In August, 1884, his wife became
very ill, and Haines was obliged to
deprive himself of needed rest One
night, while taking her a cup Of tea,
ne suddenly fell asleep, dropped the
cup, sank to the floor and had to be
taken to his bed, from which he has
never since risen. He lies on his
back, breathes naturally, and suffers
little pam, but is wasting away His
weight is now less than ninety pounds
and he is no longer able to move
himself in bed.
About II o'clock every evening he
awakes for five or six minutes, dur
ing which time he is hurriedly given
a soft boiled egg, a little soup and Il
swallow or two OF coffee, his only dali
ly nourishment. He is extremely
nervous during his brief waking in
tervals, but his conversation indi-
Gates that his mind is not beclouded.
No medicine has passed his lips for
two years. His children are bright
and healthy.

tivity and repose, and ignorance of
this most important fact is detect
In every modern system of education.
The constant tendency of the age is
towards too rapid development of the
mental powers and towards reaching
the goal too soon. The powers of
thought are often strained too terse-
ly for their own good, study is made
too continuous and too m0notnous.
and retreshment of the wearied brain
is too little studied or considered.
But how could it be otherwise =!
Teachers and leaders have never
been taught to rest. How, then, can
they teach others? They are con
stantly urged forward by the press
ure OF public opinion to perform, or
attempt to perform, miracles. They
are expected to put so much into a
child, no matter whether the child is
capable of retaining it or not. Their
positions often depend not on what
they have taught the children or pu-
pills undeTtheir charge, but upon
how much of the curriculum they
have gone through in given time
IN short, they are expected to sue
cessfully manage the machinery of
the Procrustean bed, and make the
pupils fit the lessons, and not the
lessons the pupils.
The Roman philosophers maxim,
festina lente-hasten slowly ia too
often overlooked in this rapid age of
the world. We have not, or think
we have not, time to go slowly.-San

The mule trade seems to be good.
A Lebanon, Tenn, correspondent of
the Nashville Banner reports the re-
turn of Mr.. Il. r. Murphy from the
south, and says that During Mr..
Murphy's short stay in Atlanta he
disposed Of about $4,000 worth of
mules from his firm, all of which
were shipped from Lebanon" The
letter also says: at seems that the
supply of mules in Wilson county is
well nigh inexhaustible, but the
farmers are taking advantage of the
present high prices and are rushing
them en- the market. Several car
loads were shipped by traders on
Saturday last, and many more will
be shipped soon"

A FUNNY NOTION.

One day last week, says the Kosci-
usko, Miss, Messenger, demented
negro boy, about L years Of age,
wandered away iron his home in the
country and reached Kosciusko. The
Methodist stceple, now being finish
ed, 100 feet high, first excited his
wonder, and he made bee line for
it When fist seen by the workmen
he had climbed upward on the stee-
pie to dizzy height, near 1000 feet
from the earth, with a bucket on his
arm. The men below yelled to him
to come down. His answer, I'm
gwine to heaven and kerry God some
butter" somewhat surprised them.
An lrishman, with commendable
presence of mind, holloed to him that
he had gone up the wrong way, "come
down and go up the other side"
which advice brought the would-be
angel to solid earth, where he was
kept.

An accurate idea OF the increasing
wealth Of Georgia is given in some
statistics recently published by the
comptroller general of the State. In
1879 the aggregate valuation Of all
the property in the State was s2G4,-
959,548, of which 1886, 1919 was in
railroads. There has been a decided
increase every year since, until in
1887 the aggregate is s341 ,504, 921,
and of this S24, $685. 92 is III railroads.
So it will be seen that in nine years
there has been an increase in prop
erty values of S106,545 ,373, Of which
S91, 511, $40 is in real and personal
property, and SIS, 033, 463 in railroad
property. The record made by the
colored people of Georgia since 1879
is also very creditable. In 1879 they
owned property assessed at S., 1872
1893, whilst in 1887 their property
holding aggregated s8,939,47 an in
crease Of nine years Of S3,575, 097, OF
over rs per cent.

PARENTS, OBEY YOUR CHILDREN.
From the New York Epoch.

From tie NeV York Epoch,
The above is the way in which
the commandment should have been
written, il we may judge by what
goes on around us every day. In the
private house, the hotel, the board
ing house, the street car, the store,
and oven the theatre, the comfort
and pleasure Of adults are continually
being sacrificed to those of their
children. There are, of course, some
parents who have sufficient common
sense and strength of mind to insist
that their children shall be brought
up plainly and simply; that they
shall eat such plain food as is whole
some at their ages, and that they
shall eat it at proper and regular
hours; that they shall be dressed
with some regard to their parents
means, and not solely with a desire
to make them outshine all other
children in the neighborhood: and
that they shall be taught that child
hood is period in which to practice
obedience, and not to command. I'M
happily these wise parents do not
form large majority, if, indeed,
they form any majority at all.

Senator Brown speaks of farmers
in the mountains of Georgia l75
miles from a railroad. There is no
man in Georgia It's miles from the
nearest railroad. There is no man
in Georgia seventy-6ve miles from

there is one fifty miles awav.
