INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

The Manufacturers Record of
November %, in its weekly review
of the South's industrial progress
says that Notwithstanding the excite
ment in the great financial centers OF
the world, there has been no hating
III the Souths industrial progress.
1t is already being demonstrated that
capitalists driven from Wall street
stock speculations by such troubles
as we have been passing through, are
turning their attention to the South,
where investments are safer, and
where the profits are greater. The
South moves along as though there
had been no sign OF financial trouble
anywhere. This is very strikingly
shown in the record of new enter
prises reported during the week. A
100000 company has been organ
ICED to build cotton mill at Hunts
vile: a S500,O00 mill will be built in
Union county, S. c.: large mill is
to be moved to Alabama from Della
ware, and 100000 mill in Mississ-
ippi has been sold and will be en-
larged to S1,OOO,OOO plant; Nash
vile, Tenn, has organized 1,OO0,-
stock-yards and packing company:
Glasgow, Va, a 100000 steel car
building company; Beaumont, Tex,
"a S500,000 car company: Bedford
City, Va, secures the removal of a
100000 engine works from Penn
vania; 100000 company is build
ing a 1000 horse power canal in
North Carolina for furnishing power
to many new enterprises; Dalton,
Ga, has organized a 100000 quar-
rying company; Grottes, Va, $780,
600 plumbers supply company;
Tyler, Texas, $4,000 lumber COM
pany: Murphy, n. c., a 100000
improvement company; New Port
News, Va, a 100000 improve
ment company: Buena Vista, Va, a
100000 company: Louisville, Ky, a
100000 lumber company; Pensacola
Fla, a $4,000 manufacturing com,
pany: Norfolk, Va, is to have $780,
600 car works; 10000 acres of coal
land in West Virginia will be devel-
oped by Northern capitalists.
These are but Illustrations of what
the South has done during the past
week. Not a complaint has been
heard OF any bad influence from the
Wall street troubles, but on the con-
trary, it is everywhere recognized
that the South is on a solid substan-
tial basis that insures rapid growth
regardless of financial difficulties
elsewhere.

BUSINESS EDUCATION.

1t has been observed that each
century of the worlds history is
marked by some special line in
which the energies of men have
been directed; and the nineteenth
century may well be marked as the
century of education, for never be-
fore have all the activities of man
kind been so strongly and so thor
oughly enlisted in the cause of IT,
tellectual development of as now.
The latter half of the century is
marked especially by the rapid
growth of Institutions where educa.
ton means not merely an accumula-
ton of abstract facts and theories
and the acquisition of learning as an
accomplishment, but means prepare
ton in all the details of actual busl-
Mesa kind of education acquired
heretofore only by long and painful
experience.
Education means development:
business education means develop
ment along those lines that one has
to walk when he goes forth to Join
the ranks in the great battle of life.
Instead of sending out its soldiers
with only vague theory of the kind
of weapons they will need in the
struggle, it equips them fully at the
outset, and they begin with the
knowledge and the skill of a trained
veteran. 1t requires no argument
for any one to see plainly the I'M
measurable advantage he possesses
over him who is compelled to wait
and gather up his weapons by the
way.

more mischief. 1t is no time yet
for the formulation of new demo
cratic projects or the revival of old.
The state senate is securely demo-
cratic until after the presidential
year, and, in view of this years
choice of house of assembly, dem
ocratic by two-thirds, no future
event could be more improbable
than the election of republican
assembly.

SHAKESPEARE says, Charity and
mercy are not strained" For the
sake of argument we will admit that
a better quality existed during the
lifetime of the late resident of
Standardization, but in our time
both charity and mercy are not only
strained, but so badly strained you
cannot tell where they begin or
where they leave of.

STEP by step we move on in the
discovery of new uses for electricity
The latest very important discovery
is reported from Berlin. By means
of the new agent they can reduce
any of our hard medals to plastic
state, without the employment of
heat, and while in that condition
can mould OF shape them as desired,
with as much ease as they could
mould or shape tempered putty.
When the cause has been removed
the metals return to their original
condition in every respect. So say
the scientific papers.

The care exercised by Humane
Societies over helpless children, who
are orphaned by the desertion of
their natural protectors, is by no
means a secondary object, but has
resulted in lnestimable benefit to
those thus protected as well as to
the community. The influence of
parental example and the inevitable
association with the ignorant and
debased, when youth is left TO fol-
low the bent of ignominious heredl-
ty, would unite, without the prompt
intervention of these Societies, in
adding all these deserted little ones
to the already rapidly accelerating
forces of the criminal class, and in
course of time work social and moral
disorganization. Under the best
conditions, youthful hearts and
minds are sufficiently prone to that
which all good people avoid, show
ing the faulty prenatal influence,
which will require a score of genera
tons under proper treatment to
eradicate.

The Fidelity of the Old Subscriber.

The steadfastness and loyalty of old pat
rons is one of the brightest and most COM
pensating features of the journalistic voca-
tion. We have on our list hundreds of sub
scribers who have taken the NORTHWEST for
ten, twenty, thirty and five years; and not a
few who have been constant readers for al
most half century and who will undoubted-
ly continue with us until called hence. The
editor would be very callous, indeed, to all
the finer sensibillties who did not have a re-
spect amounting to veneration for the men
and women whose names have appeared reg
alarly upon the subscription list of his paper
for several decades. He comes to regard all
such as his personal friends, and instructive
1y feels an interest in their health and well
fare. They are especially welcome guests at
the beginning of each new year when they
drop into the sanctum and renew their sub
scriptions. And it is the pecularity of the
old subscriber to be worry prompt in attending
10 this. We do not recall single instance
of delinquency on the part of an old subscrib-
or. The man or woman who has thought
enough of a newspaper to receive it as well
come guest into the home for twenty or thir-
ty years will be sure to see to it that the
annual subscription is paid promptly. There
is never any reason for doubt on that point.
Moreover, there is never any danger that the
sturdy, longtime subscriber is going to be
hoodwinked into disseminating his old re-
liable family paper in favor of some new,
mushroom sheet that may enter the field with
brag and bluster, deception and misrepresen-
tation. The old subscriber is steadfast to
his old home paper and he seldom ever with
draws his support from the paper 80 long as
the paper proves true to its record. All
these consi derations tend to endear the old
subscriber to the publisher and it is matter
of sincere regret to him when, from any
cause, the name of any such is crossed from
the list. It is seldom, indeed, that anything
but death removes one of the faithful old
subscribers from the roll. And when the
lime comes when the editor must erase one
Of these old familiar names because of death,
it is with sincere regret and sorrow that the
task is done. The old subscriber, wherever
you may find him, is an honest, worthy and
reliable citizen. 1t is these elements of char
acter that cause him to be an old subscriber.
AL honor to the old subscriber! May hap
piness and prosperity attend him, and may
he ultimately enter into his great reward.

Electric Lights in Rome.

The electric light is to supersede gas
in Rome. The motive power will be de-
rived from the waterfalls at Tivoli, and
the station for the distribution of power
will be near Porta Pla. Rome does not
in this case lose in picturesqueness what
it gains in modernization, for the few
electric lights already established-as,
for instance, on the Quirinal Hill and in
the Piazza Colonna-lend singularly
new and beautiful aspect to the Eternal
City, as seen in the evening from the
neighboring hills of Frascati and the
other "Castelli." The spectacle of Rome,
with its mighty overhanging cupola, il
Illuminated by the electric light, across
the wide Campagna, will be remarkable.
