In Pensacola, says the agent represent

bouts there had the wharf and transship-
ment work entirely in their own hands
and made their labor worth So or 81 per
day to each during the busy season. The
lowest unit of organization was the
squad, the number of men who could
conveniently work one vessel under one
boss. The bosses were organized in d.
visions, and at the head of all was
committee to regulate hours and wages.
Each laborer had his ticket TO show his
squad and division, and it was only as
substitute for member that an outsider
could get work at all. The strength of
this organization was partially broken
at one time, but I am told that colored
laborers are everywhere struggling to
combine.
At this point digress long enough
to give whack TO that erroneous idea
SO common in the north that the south

and the colored people made no general
industrial progress before the war. It is
among the most easily proved facts that
in 1850 so the progress of the south, On
the whole, was as rapid as it ever has
been since and in some things much
more rapid, and that the surplus labor
and capital were turning away from ag-
riculture. The south is to blame for the
false impression created by the gush
over the new south, . for, SO fer as
human wisdom can see, tho movement
OF $4,000, maintained without the
check of war, would have put this sec
ton far ahead Of where it now is.
The increase Of cotton production in
that decade was 10 per cent, which sim
ply couldn t have continued, as it would
have brought crop OF 1000, 600 bales
in 1870, and that would have crushed
the market nine times as badly as it did
last year. In "Uncle Tom s Cabin st.
Clair is made to PROFOUND this conun-
drum: Suppose something should hap
pen to bring down the price of cotton at
once and forever, to make it a drug in
the market, what food Of light we
should get on slavery, etc. Well that
is precisely what would have happened
had there been no war. The glut would
have come as early as 1904, instead of
1904, cotton would have sold at 4 or
3 cents pound at the gin, and slaves
wouldn't have been worth so cents
apiece fer cotton raising.
In 1850 the south had 1885 miles Of
railroad, and in 1860, 9,S97 miles, an
increase of $40 per cent. In 1860 the
south produced nearly half the corn of
the country, 40 per cent of the live stock,
three-fourtbs of the tobacco and nearly
half Of several other staples, though it
had little more than third of the popu-
lation. The gain in sawed and planed
lumber was 95 per cent, in iron prOduc
ton SO and in the manufacture of boil
ers and engines over 200 per cent. But
it is needless to detail. To prove the
case it is only necessary to consider this
question, If the south had no great man
ufactures, how did she sustain herself
in a four years war and all outside shut
off by cast iron blockade? These young
southern writers are full of hope and
energy and enthusiasm, but they must
not forget that there are still few of
US old fellows who We're alive before the
war and saw what was going On Hor-
ace Greeley, in the first chapter Of his
American Conflict" showed that the
United States in 1860 was the greatest
and most prosperous nation on the globe,
and James q. Blaine says the extraor-
dinary prosperity of the south at that
| time created an excess of confidence
which had much to do with bringing on
| the war.
BUT the young south is active and
vigorous, with an eye for the main
chance and talent for advertising, and
this exposition is splendid monument
to it's fervent local pride.

AT this stage CT progress it seems to

of sugar from the cane to the sugar

4,265 feet, was fred at from distance
of 4, 400 yards and was struck nine times

CHURCHES FOR SALE.

ably, but just at present owing to the
rapid westward push of business, the
number for sale is larger than usual,
and the would-be purchaser must be
hard indeed to please who cannot find
one according to his fancysi in architec-
ture and size. There are now on the
market in the central portion OF the
city at least half dozen church edi-
fees from which the congregations have
departed or want to depart. The
Epiphany, at Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets, found ready purchaser in
JChn Wanamaker, who will pay down
over 5000, 600 for it as soon as the con-
gregation can find q site on which to
build another church. They have now
been over a year in an unsuccessful
search for such a site, owing to the op-
position of neighboring Episcopal
churches. The strange uses to which
churches are sometimes put is exem-
plified by the cid Episcopal church on
Hilbert street, above Seventeenth,
which is now used as a stable by the
Adams Express Company. a few doors
away, at Eighteenth and Filbert
streets, is an old Presbyterian church,
which is now being used by firm of

he read law, was admitted to the bar in
1875 and has since built up large and
lucrative practice in Boston.
In 1878 he produced a lawbook,
''Williams' Citations on Massachusetts
Cases, " that has since been considered
an authority on the subject. Between
tho years 1880 and 1887 he also edited
eight volumes of the ''Annual Digest

In 1889 Dedham sent him to the state
