"Only the Beginning of Southern Pros
DeriIY"

No one appreciates better than the mana
gers of Southern railroads the great ad-
vantages to be obtained in making con-
nections and extensions to secure the trait
&c, which has grown to immense proper
tons in the South. Railroad facilities
have been inadequate in proportion to the
business which the wonderful growth OF
this section has produced, and consequently
the new railroads which have been built
in producing sections, and where advan-
tageous connections have been made, have
been generally successful. AS in al, enter
prizes, there are croakers who predict dis
aster, so we have heard the ex pression that
there is to much raj lroad building at the
South. This is not our opinonion of the
situation. On the contrary, we hold that
the march of progress has just commenced.
Upto the past two years the Southe m
people have been chiefly consumers, de-
pending mainly upon their sections for
supplies. What raw material was pro-
duced was sent away for manufacture, and
even bread stuff and provisions were pur-
chased at the North and " est Now the sta
pie products, cotton and iron, are to large
extent manufactured at home, and steam
engines, car, agriculture implements,
and many other products are turned out
and find home market. During the
year 1890 the assessed valuation of proper
ty at the South increased S2,0,COO,O 600,
and there were l04 new national banks,
with $10523, 1913 capital, established.
The total value of the foreign imports
from Southern ports increased during 1870,
1924, al, 100, five times as great as the grain
at all other ports combined. The produc-
ton of pig iron was 100000 tons,
gain of 395, 600 tons over 1889. Over 5 OoO-
900 bales of cottt n, worth over $4OO,OOO
900, were produced in 1890, and 549, AS
bales we're consumed by Southern MILLS,
against 266, 600 bales in 1880 This is the
record of what we consider the tc III npg
of Southern pros peritY. This year pro-
misses to show even be ter results. I'm
migration is Just commencing u set IN,
and the next decade Will show most as
tonishing increase in Iopu latton. IN elm
| ate, SOIL res ources, and natural advantages
the South dehes competition. Under these
| circumstances, is it strange the railroad
| men are anxious to take advantageSot the
| situation, and that their attention should
be turned to sect IN which promises such
| handsome results? Railroads, in prCdcutive
and improving sections, find paying traf
| fic awaiting all extension, and new roads,
from their completion, are rewarded by a
business which tax them to their fl II
capacity.
| This is not an overdrawn statement OF
the situation, but is founded on sold facts
and indisputable figures. To Ia1aphrase
Horace Greedy. we whould say: go South,
young man, and you will find in this sec
ton the most advantageous employment
for brains, muscle, and capital

Making Castor Oil.

In Weatherford, Texas, there is castor
oil mill. The Constitution thus describes
the operations OF the mill
The mill is an excellent two story stone
building. The frst department entered
was the large sto room on the first floor.
Here were car loads of beans, and many
other things which the reporter did MT
know what to CALL not being an expert in
the castor oil business. There was also
found here a large quantity of canned
fruit put up by the Weatherford Canning
Company, who operate here during the
fruit season, employing sometimes over a
hundred operatives. We newt passed into
the oil pressing room, and saw the process
of making oil going on By means of a
hydraulic press. a pressure of about 5000
pounds was brought to bear on busbeI
or two of beans and the oil ran out in Z
great sluice into tank This description
is very crude, but thu reporter uses his
own language, and not that of the gentle
man who explained the process. The
beans are clarified before going into the
press; that is. the imperfect unsound
beans are removed The oil IS rectiied or
refine about twenty four hours after it is
pre- sstd, and all these processes are car
ried on by means of the most improved
machinery and appliances. A forty horse
power en- CINE runs the machinery.

Tho Indifferent Elevator Bow.

"DOwnw came in a peremptory, dgnlred
tone from the lips of tall, slender gentle
man on the fourth floor of the Mills build
ing lust as descending elevator car shot
past that floor The boy who was running
the car with deft twist of his wrist check
ed its course, brought it back and pushed
omen the iron latticed door with bang.
Then, as if sorry that he had been betrayed
into an act of courtesy, he sharply remark
ed to the waiting gentleman, Come, step
lively" The gentleman, who was consider
ably past the middle age, apparently paid
no attention to the boys rudeness. He
stepped deliberately and unconcernedly
into the car, and at once became an object
of interest to the other passengers. He
was attired in a loose fitting suit of the
finest black broadcloth and had a rusty
silk hat set we'll back on his head. When
the car reached the ground floor he stepped
out in an distracted way and started up
Broad street do you know who that
gentleman is2" asked one of the other pas
sengers of the elevator boy. "Naw; who is

ence.

A gentleman who is not SO young as he
was once recalls with amusement some or
his experiences while keeping school in
certain rural districts, it seems to him,
long, long ago. Accustomed as he was to
the comforts and refinements of we'll
kent house, he found it difficult to adapt
himself to the peculiar system OF house
keeping in vogue in the districts where he
taught.
Atone of his first boarding places he was
oiven an uncarpeted and untidy little bed
room on the ground floor of an old farm
house, very much out Of repair because of
the shiftlessness Of its owner.
JshereC! into this uninviting room, and
being told to make himself right to
home" the young teacher, tired and home
sick, went at once to bed, and was almost
asleep when he heard a sound as of some
one moving about under the bed.
He was not a very brave young man, and
felt himself poorly prepared to cope with
DOssible desperate. For a long time, there
fore, he lay perfectly still.
Once more he heard the noise. He could
bear the suspense no longer. He got up,
lighted his candle and knelt down to look
under the bed, which had an old fashioned
valance of purple calico around it. Hardly
had he lifted this valance when the con-
cealed foe made furious onslaught upon
him, knocked him heels over head and
bruised him badly.
The candle was put out and the fright
ened teacher roared Justify for help. In
rushed the farmer and his wife, to discover
their guest sprawling on the floor, while
his foe stood in a corner of the room, shak-
ing his head defantly as if he medltated a
second attack.
"Oh, Pm almost killedn' gasped the
teacher. There was a man or some awful
animal under the bed"
"Twa'n't no man." said the farmer,
grinning in a very unsympathetlc manner;
"'twa5 only orr old billy goat. I'd ort to
ave told you that he always sleeps under
the bed in this room. He wouldn't ave
touched You if you'd paid no 'tention to
! him. Git bacl, under thar, you rascal, and
| lay still"
| He gave the goat kick as he spoke, and
| il disappeared under the bed. The teacher
also retired again. but the next day he
| sought A more cOngenial boarding place

A Sensation In IL Church.

PADUCAH, Ky, March 23.-At the close
of the services last night at the First Bsp.
fist church, the pastor made the usual call
for penitents. A couple, James l.. Nc
Gregor and Mrs. Mary Wilson, answered
and were met at the altar by Pastor Jor-
dan. The choir had just begun "Blessed
Be the Tie that Binds" when ~McGregor
handed paper to the minister. 1t took
Mr.. Jordan but an instant to discover 1t
was license to marry, and not church
letter, and with wave of the hand the
choir was checked, and almost before the
congregation could realize the fact he,made
the two husband and wife and dismissed
them. 1t is needless to say the wedding
closed the church service.
