STATES THAT PRODUCE STONE.

in Granite.
Some facts Of an instructive nature re-
lating tc -he stone industry are fur
nishefr bv ~. Day IN the annual report
of D. United States geographical sur
vey. 1t appears from this that certain
OF the southern states are gradually
coming into prominence US extensive
producers of stone, and also that the
sorts of stone quarried have been mod
fled of late years. An instance in point
is to be found in Alabama, which in
1895 furnished more than $250,000,000
worth of stone, mostly limestone, al
though some sandstone is worked there.
A similar illustration is presented by
Connecticut, which once divided the
sandstone yield with New Jersey, but
produced last year little more sandstone
than Massachusetts,, while New Jersey
showed only one-third as much as Con-
necticut, and little more than Kansas
or Michigan; and Pennsylvania, I'M
known few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded a product in 1895
equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, and more than
any other state than Ohio. In
granite production Massachusetts keeps
the first place, with Maine no: far Off,
while Vermont is rapidly overtal1ing
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in and
about Westerly to nearly c0,ooOworth
a year. New Hampshire comes fifth on
the list, with about half as much. In
marble, Vermont, as usual, leads all the
other states, its output being about
double that of Georgia, which is second
In amount; Tennessee is third.

SOUTH'S URBAN GROWTH.

crossed PrOportiorately.
The rural south, especially in the
elder portions, is, economically speak
re, far from progressive, and what was
once the single occupation of the south
crn gentleman is now the last that he
would voluntarily assume. In the rich
alley and on the grazing lands of south
Aest Virginia, in parts of Georgia and
n the blue grass region of Tennessee
farming pays fairly, owing to the great
er thrift of the inhabitants and to the
fertility of the soil, but, on the whole
the progress of the new south, like that
of the rest of the country, certainly
las not taken this direction 1t is
through its urban development only
hat the section has justly earned its
Obriquet.
New cities like Roanoke, Va, have
sprung up on ground that 20 years ago
was rarceled into farms. Ante-bellum
villages have become large cities, as
in the case of Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Old towns like Nashville ard Richmond
have taken fresh lease of life and be-
come rich and progressive. A new rail-
road has made the fortune of this place,
new textile or other industry has
caused the growth of that. And all
this progress has been due to the abol.-
ton of slavery and to- the destruction
of property caused by the civil war.
The southerner of the last 30 years
has simply had to work in order to live,

with n Railway Conductor.
For the first time in his long career
on the road the aifable drummer found
himself in the railroad depot half an
hour in advance of train time. When
he discovered his mistake his wrath
knew no bounds, and words choice and
rare were hurled in every direction as
he stood in front of the big clock and
regulated his own misleading time
piece. The mere thought of having vio-
lated the ethics of his profession so
violently as to be found lounging about
in railroad waiting-room was more
than he could tolerate. His counten-
ance softened visibly, however, as he
espied the portly figure OF his old
friend Cotton with his sample case filed
with small Walls of sour mash and So
mona wines.
Had a funny experience last trip
out" said Cotton, "and bad the pleasure
of sidctracking a conductor on Il scalp
er's ticket lie knew his business all
right enough, but my presence of mind
won the day."
- '-Don't exhaust your vocabulary in
the preface" exclaimed the a1fable
drummer, but give the story and let
me be the judge of its merits"
"Well, it was this way" continued

The Flood,

1t would be matter of great pub
lie interest if the weather bureau at
Washington and its office in Pitts
burgh would pay more attention to
forecastlng the stage of water in
our rivers. Today the question con-
Germs hundreds, nay thousands of
families in the three valleys. The
answer Is quite capable of mathe-
matical precision within a very
narrow range to say how high the
Allegheny, Monongahela or Ohio
will be - hours in advance.
The ignorance that prevails in the
meteorological establishment as re-
CARDS the important matter, causes
loss and distress 10 thousands. One
intelligent man, could within a
couple of months, and the enormous
data at hand, devise the proper
formula for use on all future oc-
caslons, not only for floods, but also
for the ordinary stages of water,
which all, more or less enter into
the daily life Of the people.
The problem IS really much more
simple than the attempt to make
weather forecasts, which have lost
much IN recent years, of the conf
dence Of the people. The water de-
pends strictly on that in the tribu.
taries above, and such simple inhu-
ences as rains and temperature. The
authorities ought TO take the matter
in hand and remove the stigma of
ineiliciency that attaches the service.

A NEW SECT IN THE SOUTH.
MOonshfners in South Carolina Band
Together in n New Re-
liriOn-

A band of religious anatics, who believe
that they have been sent upon the earth to
preach doctrines entirely new, are roaming
over the mountainous section of both South
and North Carolina conducting meetings.
Ihey have stirred the region up, and the
rough nountaineers who make moonshine
the caves to come out to the services.
In the mountain they are known as Sane
I Frsns ana Ga, nrsi appeared three months ago.
used to come down from the hills with wag-
ons covered over with canvas and filled
nized leader; During his early life he was
a member of the Baptist church. One day
he said he would start a world and a relig-
spoke mas not come yet, but the religion is
here. At first he had difficulty in securing
converts. He was Stunned and ridiculed
and was not allowed to preach. Finally a
woman and her husband joined his church
and gradually the new movement spread,
is deserted and the people are spending
days and nights in singing and ~thanksgiv-
ing.
Sunday is the big day. Long before dawn
the Sanctitiers come out of the little white
tents surrounding the meeting place and
prepare for !; day of labor. They. gather at
for the rising of the sun. When the sun
rises over the hills he calls upon the Sancti-
fiers to rise and greet the king of day. They
dance and sing. fling their hats in the air.
and sing a chanting chorus.
The feature of these mountain meetings
is the singing. No hymn books are used.
but the singers soon learn the lines. There
Is no melody in what they sing. 1t is one
mighty chorus of screams that would &c
well with a steam piano. Here is the song
witt which the services are opened:
Go tell your mother and all her kin
They'll never cross Jordan with all their
sin.
Sing. sweet Christian. and let me in.
You can dig my grave with a silver spade,
But I'll rise in the coming day:
You can fasten my coffin with chains of
gold
But I'll rise in the coming day.
The chorus comes in like this:
He'll is deep and hell is wide.
It's got no bottom. it's got no side.
And none can shun but the sanctified.
When the leader is trying to convert
some particular person for whom the band
has been praying. 800 threats will open and
send up this chorus:
Take care. my brother, how you walk that
cross,
Your foot might slip and your soul get
lost
