THE FUTURE POWER.

As electrical science develops it is
seen more clearly that the age in
which we live is an electrical age
We are encouraged to believe that
the use of the subtle thing we call
electricity will be enlarged. People
would gladly welcome the substitu-
ton of electric for steam locomo-
tives; there would be an absence of
SCOT and cinders, and doubtless in
creased speed as well. Perhaps we
shall see the water power in the Yad-
kin river running our factories and
lighting our streets. Nothing could
bring out more clearly the wonderful
power of water fall and electricity
than the following: perhaps the
most wonderful power in all the
South-power the development of
electric energy, is to be found a few
miles above Sheffield and Florence,
Alabama, in the great falls, known
as the Muscle Shoals. There sleep
unseen capabilities that defy the
most sanguine imagination. Electric
energies could be developed by means
of the immense water power of these
famous shoals-energies that could
run all the railroads of. Alabama,
turn the wheels of all her industries,
warm and light all her homes, cook
all her meals and fire all furnaces,
reserving still a power unimpaired-
a power sufficient to respond to all
the other and grander demands the
progressive future may make"

LATHAM, ALEXANDER & Co., of
New York, get out yearly a book on
cotton movement and fluctuations.
1t is compiled with evident care and
it's mass of figures must be of ssgreat
value to those whose business is in
cotton. Their enterprise is COM
mendable. From it we are glad to
quote this opinion: Southern man
ufactories are largely increasing; it
may be. said the mills have been al
most invariably prosperous. This
new and desirable source of wealth
and progress is important and cheer
ing. There are many reasons why
cotton spinning in the Southern
States should be highly remunera-
tive and very few why it should not.
Within short time the consumption
of Southern mills may equal those of
the Eastern States, where cotton
spinning has been largely a monopo-
ly for so many years. There is no
industry or business in the world
that excites so much enthusiasm and
encouragement as does that of cot.
ton cultivation and spinning in the
Southern States"
