GROWTH IN THE SOUTH.

The South is certainly fortunate in
the matter Of strikes and labor trou-
bles generally. While business is at
standstiQ at hundred different
points in the North, the wheels of in
dustry and commerce are running
almost everywhere south of Mason
and Dixon's line. More new indus
trial establishments have been set on
foot within the last three months in
the South than were started there in
any other quarter since 1892. The
number reported by the Manufacture
ers' Record of Baltimore is 1877, as
against 622 for the preceding quar-
ter of 1893. This record has been
beaten only two or three times in the
whole history of the South.
Since the LIST of January 267 wood
working establishments alone have
been started in the South. These are
all new concerns, the investments
having all been made this year. The
amount of capital represented by
them is notgiven, but it must be we'll
up in the millions. These wood
working establishments are exclusive
of furniture, agricultural implement
and wagon and carriage factories set
on foot during the period. Adding
these, the number would be increased
from 267 to 300.
Arrangements have been made for
the erection of % new cotton mills, ID
Of them being credited to the last
quarter. The list includes also 55
canning factories, 40 ice factories, 81
electric light and power plants, 50
water works, % brick works, 50 ma
chine shops and stove works, 81
miscellaneous iron and steel works,
gas works, 48 -four mills, II cotton
seed oil works and 5 cotton compress
ers. The mines and quarries opened
this year number 1877. There has
been an increase from quarter to quar-
ter in almost every branch of business

An Effective Speech.

At meeting of the Temperance
Union, held in small Pennsylvania
city some time since, the attendance
consisted wholly of white people, with
one exception-the pastor of the
African M. E. Church. He was a
full-blooded negro, as black as the
absence of light. The colored brother
was requested to address the meeting,
and rising in his place he gazed around
upon his exclusively white audience
solemnly. Then he said: Brethren

For the last 10 years every college man
has known Ned Peace by repute. 1t was
in the fall Of 1879 that he came up to
Princeton, a huge strapping youth, from
one Of the prep" schools, says the New
York World. He had fortune in his own
right and an easy going guardian. He
was handsome and strong and young. He
had clear, bright eyes and clear healthy
skin with a lot of color in it. And his
hand was as steady as rock, and he had
never known what it was to be sick or out
Of condition In his life.
The whole class admired him before the
first three months were done, and through
his strength and skill on the football field
he had begun to get college reputation.
Then he was so clever and good humored,
his pockets were always full of money.
and he was always throwing it about. By
sophomore year he had the name of being

Plant of the Ugly Girl.

We ugly girls never get any drives in the
park nor free seats at the theater, and as
for ice cream and French candy, no matter
how handsomely we deport ourselves, we
shouldn't know the taste of either If we
waited to have it bestowed upon us as
reward Of merit. Indeed the expensive.
ness of being an ugly girl is one Of the
worst things about it; there are no perqui
sites. We get none of the plums out OF
lifes pudding, for under present conditions
men do all the carving, and, as one of them
says, "All the fine things we think and say
about women apply to those only who are
tolerably good looking or graceful" In
fact, isn't it just little hard that any
body's destiny in life should be made to
depend irretrievably upon an accident over
which they have no control, such as hav-
ing been born with red head or a pug
noseS But this is the law under which
women have lived since the beginning of
time, and it doesn't give the ugly girls
fair chance.-E. f. Andrews in Lippin-
