INVESTMENTS IN THE SOUTH.

In the February issue OF the
Manufacturers Record Magazine,
the South as field for investment
is pointedly discussed in an article
by R. B. Sperry, a Baltimore hnan
cier, who has-had large experience
in handling of Southern securities.
The substance Of Mr.. Sperry's ar
guments is embraced in the follow
ing: "Prudent investors look to
security before income, but, all else
being equal, give preference to that
security yielding the largest income.
The locality furnishing the best
security is that possessing diversi
fed Industries and surroundings
capable of development and ample
law for the encouragement and pro-
lection of invested capital. In my
opinion, based on close personal in
vestigatiOn, many parts of the South
meet this requirement, notably the
southwestern part of Virginia, all
of West Virginia, North Carolina,
Northern South Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama. In all of
these States the perniciOus system
of voting State aid to corporations
has been abandoned and is now
prohibited by constitutional provis-
ions. In most Of them munjcipali-
ties are likewise prohibited, and
where not so prohibited the evil is
reduced to a minimum. In like
manner the creation of debt for any
purpose is limited either by con-
stitutional or legislative restric-
tons" This claim is substantial
ed by a recital of the natural re-
sources which the South possesses,
and by a brief summary of the prog
ress made in that section during
1902, which certainly cannot be re-
garded as a period of abnormal
prosperity.
