at is unnecessary to explain at
length why the South will continue
during the next ten years to grow
steadily" declares tho Financier, of
New York. 'Its destiny rs a manu-
featuring section is as certain as any
thing human can we'll be. 1t hus every
advantage that other sections lay claim
to, and the development of tho South
orn railroads will make it as accessible
to market rs New England is to-day.
With mountains literally composed of
rich iron ore, with coal cropping out
on every hillside in the mineral belt,
with limestone and timber in abund-
ance, the South can manufacture iron
at prico which no other producing
region can meet. Pig iron is being
made in Birmingham, Ala, to-day at
n cost not exceeding S5 ton, and the
TACT that the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company few days since had orders
booked for nearly 100000 tons of
iron, an increase of 122, 900 tons since
March ii, is On indication of the
trend Of the market toward the South.
Eighty per cent. of the iron made in
the Birmingham region is now being
shipped to other points for conver-
sion into steel and the higher grades
Of the manufactured product. This
will not continue indefinitely. The
loss on freight, which now has to be
counted in estimating cost of produe-
tion, offers sufficient profit to induce
change of location, and the centre of
steel production ultimately must he
within the radius of the cheapest
market for the primary material out
OF which steel is made. The Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company recog-
nizes this fact. as witness its deter
mination to build million dollar
plant at Birmingham. With cheap
steel factor it is equally certain that
industries dependent on this material
as applied to higher uses will follow,
and the next decade ought to bring
about the erection of new factories, or
the removal Of older ones to the South.
The climate, the labor, and the fuel
invite the change, aside from other
considerations. And it is not alone in
iron and steel that this change will be
felt. The South is being dotted with
new cotton mills. forced by the same
primary reason to desert the East, and
the exodus of industries, if such it
may be called, is bound to continue.
Shrewd observers say that cotton man.
uiaetiters have not gone South far
enough, and that the mills might with
equal advantage locate nearer the fuel
supply, since the railroads at those
points run through rich cotton coun.
try, and afford better facilities foI
reaching Northern and Western mar
kets. Bearing oil these facts in mind
is not strange that far-seeing in
vestors and manufacturers predict that
within a circle fifty miles in diameter,
taking tho centre of the State of Ala.

O,DoNNELL WHIPS sLAYIN.
Contest Lasted Five Rounds-Took PIace
 on Long Island.

+ l Maspeth, L. l., Sept. 21.-Only fair sized crowd attended the opening of the boxing season at the Empire Ath- letic club tonight The main event on
 the program was twenty-round con- test between the Australian heavy weights, Frank Slavin, and Steve O'Donnell. The crowd had scarcely
 been seated when rumor was started to the effect that Slavin had hurt his arm, shoulder and back by a fall last Thursday and that he was in no condi- ton to fight. It was stated that he had only come over to make an appearance. The betting, however, was all in favor of Slavin, and the majority of the sports seemed to think that the acci- dent was we'll laid scheme to induce the O'Donnell contingent to put up their money. As good as 6 to could
 be had against Steves chances. The opening bout was ten-round argu- ment, at 112 pounds, between the ban-s tam weights, Jack Mckee of New York and Kid Madden of Brooklyn. The referee decided in favor of Mad- den.
 The big fellows next appeared. ODonnell was squired by Billy Madden and Mike Butler of New York and Jack Cusack of Schenectady. Slavin's sec- onds were Charley Norton, Paddy Cor man and Teddy Alexander. O'Donnell had the best of the fight all through In the fifth Slavin came up groggy. His face was badly cut. ODonnell rushed at his man and past ed him right and left. Slavin hung on gamely, but was clearly beaten to 0 standstill and his seconds threw up the sponge after one minute and thir- iy-five seconds.
 After the fight Slavin addressed the crowd, saying.
 I'm licked tonight, but I think that the man behind O'Donnell will give me another chance when 1 am in better condition. I have been hurt ever since Thursday, and only came here so as not to disappoint the public and my backer."

The dinner was served ill the dining room of Rutherford Cottage, the unpretentious residence of MT. White, on Harrison avenue, at 8 o'clock.

By the way, let me say right here, that the bold claim of 65000 plurality in Arkansas, which was to offset Vermont and Maine, has dwindled to 52, ,O00 and may De less than that, showing clearly that the election night claim, which was made simply for effect, was not based on any legitimate returns.
 To return to Massachusetts: The silver mon in the west need not be Jubilant when George Fred Williams receives the democratic nomination for governor of Massachusetts. There is strong opposition in the party against Rim; but It prefers to have him nomi- nateu to secure the opportunity of purylng him at the polls.

Indeed, many of them think that Governor Wolcotts plurali- " Will exceed the total vote which will be given to MT. Williams. Governor Wolcott will undoubtedly carry the democratic city of Boston by hand some plurality
 From the nature of the case we may not get as large plurality for Major Mckinley, but 1t will exceed that of any previous presidential candidate in our history.
 Are bankers and business men dis counting the result? I think they are to a certain extent. Of course, they know more or less of the work which IS going forward. ard appreciate the Tact that 1t will be pushed with vigor and intelligence down to the last day of the campaign. There Is no good reason why bankers and business men should not do all they can to at once restore a large measure of confidence Already the reports from the great cen- ters are improving; the crop reports are excellent; the money market is growing easier and all classes feel more hopeful Bankers can certainly afford to be liberal with their custom CTS and merchants, and all sorts of business men can afford to help each other If every man will exert his in- f1uence, whether it be large or small, we shall see good fall business, even with the election pending.
