In 1890 the cotton yield had swelled to the
enormous proportions of 7.3i3.0 900 bales worth
$310. 900 000 In the same year the increase
in the amount of grain produced was relatively
almost as great, being 629. 748, 900 bushels,
valued at $3.50 .O0O. 900: the sugar crop was
nearly s56 600 900 pounds. with $4,000, 900 gal
Ions Of molasses The tobacco crop exceeded
45l COO. 900 pounds. The increase in the minor
industries "a well as in stock-raising was
also very notable.
In 1850 the United States produced 1895, 900
long tons Of pig iron. of which the South
made 1874. 900 tons, or about one-ninth. In

Such are some of the facts which Governor
Holt grouped together in his thoughtful adj
dress There are several IN addition to which
he referred which are well worthy of repeti-
ton. Especially important in its relation to
the prosperity Of tue South is the fact that It's
white population Is increasing about twice as
fast as the colOred. and also that the increase
is almost entirely Of our domestic population.
thus forming homogeneous people free from
tho disturbing influences which have been
introduced in the North and West by the
enormous immigration from abroad.
third fact of importance in this connec-
ton is that the birth-rste in the South is about
thirty-seyen per thousand inhabitants an
nuallY. while for the remainder of the Union,
including the prolific Irish of the great cities.
1t is less than 30 per cent. per thousand.

THE Chicago Railway Guide comments in
the following sensible way on the discontinue
ance Of railway facilities, its remarks being
suggested by an instance which recently oc-
CURED in Virginia:
"A now element Of discomfort Is likely to
enter into the already surcharged railway
problem. Some roads have already discon-
tinued the operation Of Improbable branches
and othersare contemplating the same course.
One Of the latest instances is the discontinu
ance Of the Meherrin Valley railroad, extend
ing from Emporia. Va, to Margaretsville. a
distance OF some seventeen miles and the
people along the line are compelled 10 resort
TO primitive methods in order to supply their
necessities. Should this movement become
in any degree general-which. IL it should
be demonstrated that RAILWAYS can OF will
abandon the operation Of improbable
branches and extensions. ia quite likely-it is
probable that demand will be made by the
public for the maintenance of schedule OF
charges which shall enable roads to at least
continue the operation Of lines already con-
structed. People accustomed to railway
facilities will not willingly submit to de-
privation Of same and in view Of the contin-
ued cry for low charges for service
the possibility Of an extended move
ment in this direction can scarcely
be regarded as chimercal Il will be
remembered that Judge Rainey. of waxa-
hatchie. Tex. recently declared the charter
OF the Texas Trunk railway forfeited to the
State and in consequence of such action that
road is now not being opersted although il
is supplied by three distinct and separate re-
ceivers. A railway is generally. If not uni
formly. blessing to any section OF the coun-
try through which it runs. and although at
times It may be operated 30 as to develop in
stances OF hardship which Afford Just grounds
of complaint the worst of all hardships Is to
deprive of such services section of the
country which has been built up and dsvel-
oped through its influence"

SOME REuARKABI.EF.crs

The address which was delivered by Gov
ernor Holt At the opening Of the Raleigh Ex-
position on Thursday was as admirable in
expression as it WAS instructive and signih-
cant in the facts which it presented. Rarely
has there been given in the same space more
exhaustive statement Of the material achieve
ments of the Southern people since the close
Of the war. A brief resume of its most strik-
ing features will be both timely and interest
ing.
The story of the reparation of Southern
disaster" Governor Holt remarked. the in
crease Of values, development OF unknown
wealth and the advancement in every ele-
ment Of strength and power within a few
years are SO extraordinary as to be unknown
to the mass OF even our own population"
How extraordinary this advancement has
been may be inferred from the single fact that
the assessed value of Southern property in
1889 was double the assessed value in 1880.
counterpart of which is probably not to be
found in the history of any other country.
Still more extraordinary is the second fact
upon which Governor Holt touched, namely.
that the products Of our Southern soil alone in

The course Of entertainments for the season
OF 1922 was inaugursted at the Young
| Mems Christian Association last evening by
great gymnastic display under the direction
| OF Professor Horace f. Smith. AZ the same
| time this was the first debut OF Mr. Smith be-
| fore the residents of Richmond asa teacher
! of gymnastics. Only short month has gone
by since Professor Smith has taken charge of
the physical department OF the Association,
| but the result, a. shown by the exhibition last
evening. has already been wonderful.
During the comparatively short time allotted
10 Mr.. Smith since the gymnasium opened
he has shown such good Judgment IN the
selection of the pupils for yesterdays exhibit
ton that the entertainment turned out TO be
a complete success from scientific point OF
view as well as in every other way.
A large and select audience. including many
ladies', comfortably filed the large hall. where
the exhibition was given from the platform.
The programme for the exercises was care
fully selected by Mr.: smith. and the dinereh,
parts were witnessed with great interest ana
largely applauded by an appreciative au-
dience.
The programme orenel with parallel bar
exercises, pyramids etc. followed by indian
club swinging, mat exercises, jumping. tuInO-
ling bending. etc. After q very attractive
exhibition on tho horizontal bar the entertain
ment was brought 70 3 close by the Roberts
dumh-beil drill" il which all the pupils
participated.
The entertainment givon last evening was an
entirely new feature n Association Hall, but
Judging from the interest which tie aud ence
took in IT, II is apparent that hereafter all the
gymnastic displays given at the Association
will draw large and appreciative audiences

evening were Elijah Baker. Jr.. John

No Truth infhe story that . Vatican Emis-
sary Was Fonnd I'm salisbury's House.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.--Lord Salisbury's
secretary, in the absence OF the prime
minister. was asked by q correspondent
of the United Press whether there was
any truth in the sensational story being
circulated to the effect that an ennis
sary of the Vatican, disguised as q. but
Ter, had been recognized by . lady
visitor as employed in the household Of
Lord Salisbury at Hatfield house, sHsrt-
fordshire, and that the spy, said to be
au italian priest, fed SO soon as the lady
referred to recognized him as having
previously seen him at the Vatican. The
secretary On the British premier smiled
when the question was put to him and
then said emphatcally: "The concoc-
tion referred to is too foolish TO be
officially contradicted." From other
xources also it is learned that there ia
not q word Of truth in the remarkable
tale. sM's
