NEW RAILWAY MILEAGE.

In spite of the general quiet which has pre-
vailed in tho South in tho course Of tho
present year there are certain facts which
would seem to show that greater activity in
some respects has marked the progress Of the
last ten months in the Southern States than
in the Northern. II is very notable, for in
stance. that there has been larger number
Of miles Of railway constructed in the South
this year than in the North or the West
According to the New York Commercial
Bulletin New England has added in all only
twenty miles. Connecticut and Vermont re-
porting no increase: but in this there is moth
ing strange, the railway system in those States
having long been fairly developed in proper
ton TO population which il not now incress-
ing with rapidty. In New York only
SO miles we're added, and in New
Jersey only 80, and in these States
with Pennsylvania. above mentioned. 1904
miles, which is in fact as rapid an increase as
could reasonably be expected In the
Southern States Of the Atlantic slope some
increase is reported in every ono except
Delaware, the aggregate in the seven States
DcluB ltO miles, huu III bCoiEih the new
mileage was larger than any other State
in the Union. almost 200 miles. and in
South Carolina larger than in any other
State except Georgia, namely, 17714 miles
In the remaining Southern States additions
are reported, except in Mississippi, aggregs-
ting 523 miles, including Texas. Arkansas
and Missouri. In these States also the
growth of the railway system has been as
rapid az could reasonably be expected. In
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wis
cousin. the new railway mileage for the year
was about 3lOl1 miles. which does not ex-
hibit a rapid increase, and it may be re-
membered that the same political forces
which prevailed completely in several States
west Of the Mississippi also asserted their
power with much success in Illinois and
Wisconsin. The contrast between the growth
Of the railway system in Southern States and
in the States west Of the Mississippi first
named, is striking enough to teach a lesson
which even the Farmers Alliance should be
able to comprehend"

however. to notice the legion Of ISLANDERS and
calumnies which Jealous Northern South
hsters delight to indulge in towards the
South. Heaven knows they have vented
their spleen since tho Republic was estab-
lished. even reaching tho point Of war and
desolaton, but they have never yet been able
TO keep her down, and never will be. These
remarks of this Mr. Poole. however, are COM
mented on TO show to what extremes they will
resort 10 villify and misrepresent us, and to
spur our people on 10 renewed exertions to

The TIMES has received letter from Vir-
ginia lady now residing in San Francisco Cal.
stating that at the annual conferences of the
American Library Association recently held
ia that city-the members Of which are mostly
from New England or from similar political
points"-Dr. Poole the compiler Of "Poole's
Index read a paper in which he contrasted
the South and the West to the decided disad-
vantage of the former He took upon him
self to state that the cities of the South neither
had libraries nor did they care for them, and
drew the inference therefrom that while the
wild and woody West" was advancing in re-
fnement, culture, and literary taste, the
South was retrograding.
1t is very doubtful whether the author of
"Poole's Index has ever been South in his life.
and therefore his statement may be somewhat
palliated on the ground of ignorance; it is more
than probable, however, that it was actuated
by both ignorance and malignity combined.
We venture the assertion that there Is not
a town of any size anywhere in the South
whore there is not a circulating library as
large as the means of the people
can afford. II is true that here
in Richmond we have no city library
as We should have, but we have a State
library which is rich in volumes-so rich in
fact that on more than one occasion our
Northern visitors have sought it 10 gain in
formation they desired, and have surrepti.
tiously mutilated valuable books by cutting
out and taking away with them whole pages.
In time we will also, probably, have another
library III addition to that as the desirability
of such an institution has frequently been
discussed. and seed has been sown which il
Is hoped will eventually bear fruit
One thing Mr. Poole should reflect mon
II has only been a little over twenty-five
years since the whole South was completely
and absolutely ruined as the result of the
war between the States. and what little was
left to her from the upturning of her social
fabric and the expense of her hard and
gallantly fought four years war for her
independence and her rights, was i'm
mediately pounced down upon by Northern
harpies. carpet-baggers and thieves. who
tried to strip the few remnants of flesh still
lett upon her bones. For years after

WE referred short time since 10 the propo-
sition of the New York Tribune looking to
the establishment of a society Of the sons of
the Abolitionists and we suggested with a
view to historical correctness that Society
Of the Grandsons Of the Shareholders and
Slave-catchers be established at the same time
by the same parties. That the sons Of the
Abolitionists were in most instances, either
the grandsons or the great grandsons Of met
who owned slaves or dealt in slaves is shown
by the historical records One ofthese records
was published fewyears agoin the Historical
Review. being a copy Of one of the municipal
documents of the city Of Charleston. This
document discloses that between 1904 and
1907. Boston ships imported into that city
200 slaves Hartford 25O. Bristol, Newport.
Providence and Warren. Rhode Island, ships
the enormous number of 1928. There were
lightweight natives Of Rhode Island in
Charleston acting as the agents Of the Rhode
Island slavedealers. This is the record Of
only three years and for one port. If the rec
ord for the whole interval between 1888 and
1905 be taken for all the Southern ports. the
importation of slaves in New England bot
toms will be found to have run up into the
hundreds of thousands.
