THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.
Many Changes Have Placed the South on
Sure and Solid Foundation.

1t would be hard to assign an &C
reason for the South's pres
ent prosperity. While the North,
West and East have been troubled
by7a restless condition in financial
circles, the New South seems solv-
ent and quiet. Possibly, their bank
depositssare not made up as largely
from a class of small depositors as
are those in the other sections of
our country. But the cause lies
deeper. Changes in many direc-
tons have placed the South on a
sure and stable foundation. But a
few years ago the expectation of
fruits and vegetables fromrthis Ia
vored land was no element of trade.
Now with rapid train service, this
tradeprobably aggregates $50,0O0,-
600 year, and is rapidly growing.
New and large orchards Of small
fruits will be adding, from year to
year, to this total. While cotton is
low in price the production has al,
most doubled in ten years, and now
the United States, or the South, pro-
duces two-thirds of the cotton used
in the worlds manufacture.
In permanentvalue, howeverth
development Of manufacturing .es-
Establishments in new lines has bsen
a much more important factor than
the products of the soil. The cot
ton that blossoms and blooms in the
sun is now being turned into thread
and cloth within sight Of the fields
wherein it grew. Coal and iron
ARE so largely produced that the
day may not be far distant when
Pennsylvania crown Of iron will
be placed on Alabama's brow. AT
that, Massachusetts, too, will be
compelled to give up her pre-emi-
nence in the making of cotton goods
and congratulate Georgia'upon heI
success in the race.
The production of corn has in.
creased largely, and naturally there.
with morecattle and hogs. Inshort
all the possibilities of this sections o.
our country are being developed
Norman in the. North begrudges the
South one iota of her great pros
perity. Indirectly all enjoy the

stout heart to even hope. But tn,

1t has not stopped, nor will it stop
so long as the natural advantage
of the South exist and need devel
opment.

AUGUST CROP REPORT.
A Summary of the Condition of Crops In
Tennessee.

The following summary Of crop
conditions is based upon returns
from over four hundred CORE
spondents, representing ninety
three of ,the ninety-six counties in
the State. No report was received
from Lake, rGrundy, and ..Bledsoe
counties.
The corn cropsshows a decline In
condition Of SO per cent. as COM

showing the destructive effectssof
the drouth, notwithstanding the
very favorable seasons ina large
area Of the State.
The drouth has extended overall
most the entire cotton section; and
while the plant isnot SO susceptible
to injury from dry weather, its con-
dition dropped 6.2 percent. within
the last month.
Thedrouth has damaged tobacco

In view Of the. losses suffered by

are notenacted and enforced for the

dogs and dogs. Some of peaceful,
mild disposition are companionable
and useful to man, but there are in
every community a horde of half

ought to be wiped out of existence.
The damage done to the sheep in
dustry by canine guerillas is enor-
nous, in some cases preventing the
breeding of these gentle and useful
creatures. Farmers who have had
their focks chased and injured by
dogs tell me that,sheep thus fright
ened, even though not actually bit

poses. They remain timid, and ii
is difficult, and even impossible in
some cases, to fatten them. The

MICROBES ON BANK NOTES.
They Garry the Germs of Many FrightfuI
Diseases.

Two HavaDese psychologists, Drs.
Acosta and Grande- Rossi, conceived
the idea. surely an original one, of
studying the microbes of bank notes.
They have published the result of their
researches on the notes of the Spanish
bank of Havana. They have proved
in the first place that the weight Of
these notes increases in the course of
their circulation by reason of the addi-
ton of foreign matter. At the end Of
certain time the psychological
analysis demonstrated a considerable
increase in the mum Der Of microbes: in
two cases this number rose to more
than nineteen thousand. The physi-
clans discovered specially the presence
Of a septic bacillus which rapidly kills
animals inoculated with it; this, to
speak properly, is the specific microbe
of the bank note, and Talamon thinks
that the name bacillus septicus aureus
could be Justly given to it.
Messrs. AcoSta and Grande-Rossi
have besides recognized distinctly in
the bank notes examined by them eight
pathogenic species, among which were
the bicillus of tuberculosis, that Of
diphtheria and the streptococcus OF
erysipelas. The two psychologists do
not say what were the denominations
of the notes they experimental with.
1t may be supposed, however, that they
did not use notes of a thousand or even
hundred francs. II the notes were of
that size IL would be difficult TO verify
their experiments in all Laboratories,
the means OF which in general do not
permit Of such prodigality. What
use can the Havanese make Of their
bank notes that they become such re-
OF microbes? Messrs. Acosta
and Grande-Rossi declare that the chill
dren of Havana are accustomed TO carry
bank notes in their mouths. It is easy
