Special reports TO the Manufacturers
record from all parts Of the South show,
that since the excitement attending the
political contest ended, there ID very
general disposition to give renewed atten-
ton to industrial matters, and the outs
look in Hll directions points to an slmost
unpre cedented sctivity in the develop
ment in the South's unlimited resources.

Of the leading oles reported to the Msnu-
iacturers' Record for one week only, is
not confined to any one state, bu, exs
tends ever the entire South. Virgins
and Kentucky threate to enter the field
against Alabama in the development CT
coal and iron interests, while Alabama
Is still determined to msintRin its
advanced position and press forward
even more rapidly than in the past. Other
states, while doing less in coal and iron,
are making rapid progress in the deveio
nent Of diversified industries, in building
cotton mills, woodworking establish
nents OF all kinds, and other enterprises
that will sid to their prosperity. The
Record feels safe in pre-
1icsiDg that this winter will see greater
activity IN industrial Developments than
svsr before known in the South, and that
every one Of the Southern states will
share in this prosperity.
