The South's Thanksgiving.
A Symposium in the Manufac-
turers' Record.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 24.-Tbe Manu-
facturers' Record publishes this week
as appropriate to Thanksgiving Day
several hundred letters from leading
business meu, manufacturers, mer-
chants and railroad officials throughout
the South. giving their views as to Why
the South especially has many reasons
for giving thanks for material blessings.
With only two or three exceptions
these letters give very hopeful out.
look as to the general feeling of in
provcment that exists in business circles
in all the Southern States. and show that
the prospects are everywhere favorable
for increasing activity on the part Of the
man uufacturing interests, for large
movement of population to the South
from the North and West. and liberal
investments of outside capital 10 South
ern enterprises. Many railroad and
industrial undertakings that have been
held 10 allegiance for months are now
being taken up and plans matured for
early construction. Farmers are re-
ported to be less 10 debt than for many
years. the very heavy grain crops and
large production of meat during the
past few years having made the South
almost self-sustaiuing in the way of
food stufs, aud thus kept at home the
millions Of dollars that have heretofore
gone West for corn and provisions.
Particular emphasis is laid upon the
growing power Of commerce from
Southern ports, the magnitude of this
business showing that the South is to
hold as commanding position 10 our
foreign trade by virtue of the proximity
Of its ports to the Central Western re-
gions that produce the grain and pro.
visions for export as it DOW holds in
iron and cotton manufacturing
While two out of the several hundred
letters take an unfavorable view of the
situation and do not look for much im-
provement. the others are of a most
cheerful and hopeful character aud are
expressive Of the macy reasons Why the
South has reason to give thanks for
blessings enjoyed, for dangers escaped
and for the bright promises Of great To-
dustrial, commercial development. and
also for the assurance of great South
ward movement of population.
