OutIngs for Sick Poor.
To the Editor OF the Dlspatch:


VIII you allow me space in your yalua-
BILE journal to call attention to a matter
OF grave import to a certain class in
our midst-the sick poor-and OF no mean
interest to the people at large? II Is
a fact well known that Richmond. with
its population of 10000 souls, is one Of
the healthiest cities in North America,

its enviable standard. Freedom. fresh air.

The city Of New York has a club, fur

The Southern Outlook.
(Washington Post.)

Reference was made recently In the
telegraphic columns of the Post TO Tie
outlook for business in the South as
shown by. a large number of letters from
leading bankers and others. published IN
the Manufacturers Record, concerning
the crop prospects of that section and It's
generally improving conditions. The IN
formation thus obtained Is from response
BILE sources and OF the most cheering
character, covering quite fully and saus-
factorily the following Inquiries:
Has the cotton crop cost less to raise
than in former years, by reason OF en-
forced economy and because OF large
grain crops last year?
Are farmers and businessmen gene
rally less in debt than formerly?
what are the prospects for grain and
other crops?
What is the general outlook for your
section?"
With regard to the cotton crop, food
supplies, cereal products. and especially
the corn crop. which we are told will
probably equal and II may be exceed the
value Of the cotton crop, the answers
received are almost without exception
exceedingly encouraging. The showing
made Is particularly encouraging from
the fact that the southern people. through
energetic effort and an enforced economy.
have largely reduced their Indebtedness.
They stand on firmer and more independ-
end ground than at any period since the
war. The farmers as q rule have been
curtailing expenses. and the merchants
giving less credit. 1t has cost them less
than ever before TO raise their cotton.
Jerome Hill. OF St. Louis. who has had
thirty years experience in the Mississippi
Valley as n cotton factor. feels assured
that the South owes less money away
from home to-day than at any time during
the last twenty years. So much for the
financial situation.
Especially notable and gratifying Is the
further assurance that the planters and
farmers are at last aroused to the I'm
portance OF raising greater diversity of
crops than heretofore, of furnishing them
selves with their own supplies, instead
OF buying them elsewhere. or. as Mr.. Hill
says in his letter. have removed their
corn-cribs and smoke-houses from Chicago
and st. Louis to their own plantations
The reports come from Georgia, Vir-
GINA. Alabama. Texas. Arkansas. FloriGa,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky,
South Carolina, and Louisiana, covering,
IN fact, almost the entire South, and,
as rule. they are all to the purport that
southern conditions. financially. agricul-
turally. and commercially are unusually
favorable-never more so-thanks not only
10 the bounties OF nature. but to the
lessons which the South has learned In a
hard school OF experience. and of which
her people are now making wise. practi-
cal application. Let us hope that the
dawn of better times which is thus in
dictated. may develop into full sunburst
of prosperity. and that the Industrial re-
vival which is promised may prove sub
stantial and permanent. What helps the
South is bound to help the whole coun-
try 1t will strengthen the business situa-
ton everywhere.
