The Progress of the South.
durham Recorder.l

The Lynchburg Ad0ance notes the
fact that two significant items OF news
from the South appeared few days
ago. One was that the volume Of
trade had increased $4,000, 900 IN
Augusta, Ga, a city Of less than So,
900 population, during the past year !;
the other that syndicate OF New York
capitalists had invested 5000, 900 in a
land improvement company at Annls-
ton, Ala.
The A90antc agrees with the Wash
ington Pest that all this is evidence
that the South seems to have entered
on a career of prosperity that IS I'M
cxampled in her history. There was
no time previous to the war when her
;ycalth was so great in the aggregate
yr Of such diversified character as it
IS to-day.
Her systems Of transportation have
been vastly improved OF late. East oil
ne Mississippi nearly all of the lines
railway have been consolidated I'M
der the Richmond and Danville man
agcgnent While there may be Incl
dental cases of hardship resulting to
shippers from the consolidation of SO
MANY different but not always com
pcting lines, there are still advantages
under the new management, especial
ly in the States affected just at this mo-
mcnt, that will far outweigh any in
jury done. Consolidation in this in
stance means improved management,
improved roads and rolling stock, new
and connecting lines, and greater IA
Cilities 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 Danville system OF
more than 1000 miles of railway.
There are more unused business OBJ
portunlties in the South than any other
portion of the Union. Its vast depos-
its Of coal and iron ore, such as can be
found in West Virginia. Tennessee and
Alabama, its immense forests of pine
and other understandable timbers to be
found in North Carolina, West Vir-
ginia and Florida, have hardly been
touched.
Great business activity and wealth
must come from these in the near
future, while cotton, tobacco and sugar
will be produCed.in increased quaint
ties.
Every patriotic, fair minded citizen
must rejoice that the heavy hand OF
misfortune that fell on the South with
such destructive power in 1861 and
lay there with .unloosehed clutch ior
almost quarter of century, is at
last about to he removed.

Industrial Progress in North Carolina
durham Tobacco Plant


In the last four years our State has
made great strides in all industries,
and has kept pace with the advance of
the balance Of the States Of the Union,
and has ourstripped great many Of
them in the race. The increase in
value Of our lands, our agricultural
products, and our manufactures has
been wonderful. The fact that the
administration Of the general govern
ment was in the hands of the Demo
cratic party had great deal to do
with this increase of all our industries.
The people felt encouraged to go ahead
and push themselves to the front and
Northern capitalists felt secure in IN
vesting their surplus money among US.
Now what we have to do is to keep
up this impetus we must not be dis
heartened because orr political enemies
have control Of the government, and
! feel that our efforts will be of no avail
on account Of opposition from the
party in power That we shall have
this opposition to our advancement,
we have no doubt; but we must not
allow that TO weigh us down; on the
contrary, it should spur US on to re-
newed vigor and greater efforts. We
should feel now that we are entirely
dependent on ourselves and that what
advancement we make in the next
four years will be made by our own
eXcrtiOns under adverse circumstances
and if we push forward in the next
four years to the same degree we have
in the past four, it will be Of greater
glory to us, ard at the end of that
period we will look with greater pride
on what we have done.
The political status of the country
at present should not dlshearten us
on the contrary it should encourage Us
to greater deeds, and to more strenu-
Gus efforts to keep abreast Of our more
favored sister States in the onward
march. Let us learn to rely more
upon ourselves, 10y increasing our agrl-
cultural products IN variety and guam
tity by increasing our manufactures.
and by all means let's buy what we
need from North Carolina producers
instead of from Northern and Western
markets.
The South can not be kept down
She Will soon rise again and regain
her old position of wealth and influ-
enee in the Nation, and when she
does, ours will be one of the foremost
States Of the South. 10 attain this
position all we have to do is to LEARN
to labor and to wait"
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1888-11-22

We of the South can well judge
what will be the bent Of legislation
respecting our internal affairs from the
utteranCes of Mr.. Ingalls, in the Sen
ate and the re-echo Of his kind. There
is absolutely not one ray of hope from
the next Congress but in the power OF
the minority to produce a deadlock
and prevent Congressional action on
matters adversely affecting the South
crn States.
The President elect is quite an able
man and that is all that can be said
Of the situation. He is a malignant
hater Of the South, and we expect
nothing of kindly nature from him.
The defence of the South is in the
sturdy manhood and determination o.
her own sons Wilmington MeSseN

SOUTHERN FIHRES.

\ Georgia lady, who, during the
war, saw much of the ingenious de
vices OF her fair COuntrywOmen tells
how they made Use of many things
that grew around them to take the
place OF those they had been &C
customed to purchase. Among other
industries was the manufacture of
shaker bonnets for school girls. To
make these they gathered palm leaves
and blaCkened them in the sun. The
negro children split them into narrow
StTi ps, and these were woven on old
style hand looms, and the fabric thus
obtained was cut into pieces of suita-
bic size, then shaped and trimmed.
BOnnetS thus made were longer than
these they had been accustomed to
buy. Later they took the longest pine
needles, dried them brown. and then
wOve them, and then used this material
IN the same way. The strength and
pilablllty OF both these fibres were thus
practically tested, and the wonder is
hat those lessons of experience born
If necessity have not resulted in the
utilization of both these fibreS long be
fore now. In those DAYS also excel
lent floor mattIngs were woven of broom
Sedge and of the ibres of bear grass.
The latter was buried until the pulpy
bart was rotted, and then it was ex-
numed and anchored in swift flowing
Streams, which wa>hed away all de
Clyed matter and lett The long white
flbres for use. These were dyed vari-
Gus ColorS and then woven. Every
one who has ever tried to break strands
of bear grass used for sUspending meat
in Southern smokehouSes, knows how
tough they are. As this peculiar plant
when once rooted, never dies, but re-
news It's leaves annually, and rs i,
fiourishes on poor sandy land. and
abounds in all parts of the South, i,
would seeni TO be one of the most val
liable OF all her natural products, and
TO be promising article for expert
ments preparatory to utilization. Man,
other natural products might be men
toned in this connection, but .he
foregoing are enough to show that the
South is rich in natural fibreS that ma,
be made foundations for numerous in
dustries- 1t may be that among them

ingenious investigators may find some
superior to either jute or ramle, or to
the many grasses now imported from
distant parts of the globe for manu-
featuring purposes. There is unques-
tionably enough known to encourage
practical men to give time and thought
to the investigation of Southern fbres.

THE WOODSY Scent.
written for the GOLD LEAF.

The flowers are black along my pathway,
The merry birds have ceased To sing;
The leaves Of Autumn sad and cast way
Their dying OdOra round me fling.
And evermnre the rain j. falling,
Like Summers tears for dead delights
The wind in whispers vague J. calling.
Throughout this dreary Autumn weather
Tie wOOdsy fragrance still i, all
That brrathes If hopes auG joys together
Mem ries OF Spring doth still recall.
And when we close our eyes half sadly
This scent Of Natures spicy breath
Filings over Us Il halo gladly,
And makes us dream of birth not death

hearty up to the time of his sudden death.
He had eaten hearty dinner. and had
gone several errands for his wife during

and at the time OF bis death he had gone
to deliver some dressed linen and was on
his way home when he suddenly fell ov4r
on the pavement and expired. His wife
had been waiting his return aud went to
the door several times to see ii he Was
coming, when she saw crowd on the
street about half block from her door
carrying the form Of man 90 q staetch

cried out My Lord hab mercyl What's

informed that he was dead she could not
realize it The old woman was very much
distressed and every one expressed great
sympathy for her. He was between 70
and so years Of age Heart disease is pro-
