ham and Atlanta? VIII the newly
opened mines Of the South, the grow
ing commerce of It's ports, the devel-
opment of its railroad systems and
water routes work lasting injury to
Northern and Western competitors?
The pesslmist may shake his head In
doubt at the prospect which Southern
competition may bring to many
branches Of Northern industry, but
there is far more reason for optimism
In the outlook than for pessimlsm. The
problems Of the future will largely
bring their own solution. With the in
crease Of manufactured products which
the new South will create, there will
be very considerable increase in, the
home market. consequent upon a larger
population with greater wants and
greater means for supplying its
wants"
Certainly the continual development
Of the South will bring with It import
ant changes, but none that will not be
an advantage to this section. In the
REIMBURSEMENT of the conditions of the
United States" as our contemporary
Is pleased to style them, the greater
share will fall to the Southern coun-
try. This is destiny.
