Go South Young Man.

Horace Greedy discovered the West
and turned the tide of immigration to
the rolling prairies when he awoke the
youth of New England to the oppor.u-
mites of the rich virgin soil of the fer
tile sections beyond the Mississippi by
his admonilion: young Man, Go
West" Together with the sons of
New England, the thousands of thrift
ty immigrants from Europe driven
from the homes of their fathers by
the crushing tyrrany and oppression
of nilitarism- pitched their tents to-
ward the land of the sunset.
go South, Young Man." is now the
admonition of such men as Chauncey
M. Depew, who have enjoyed opportu-
mites of finding out the advantages
which the various sections of the Re-
public offer to this generation. When
the tide of immigration poured into
the West, the South had the same
advantages of climate and soil which
it yet holds, but slavery repealed the
European Immigrant as well as the
descendant of the Puritan, and though
we had the superior location, the en-
vironment of slavery repealed young
men looking for new homes.
Conditions have changed. go
South, Young Man, is the advice that
men are needing every day. The eyes
of the world are turned to the South.
Capital, skill and labor find in the
Southern States the opportunity they
seek. Northern money, in conjunc-
ton with Southern capital, is seeking
investment in the South. Money In
vested in Southern property has yield
ed larger returns than elsewhere.
Skilled mechanics find here an open
door to independence and fair remun-

yite these classes to make their homes
South of the Potomac. Farmers look
ing for homes are coming South be-
cause they can make more money till
ing the soil than in any other portion
of the world because the soil is rich
and the climate permits work all the
year.
North Carolina is The favored STATE
of the South. Toward all sections 81
the State capital and immigration are
flowing, and Northern capital and
skill are coming to labor, together
with home money and Drawn, to de-
velop the States resources and shar.
in the wealth that will follow in its
development.

OUR WATER POWER
Capitalists Interested in Util-

Water Power.

Perhaps the most useful and techni
cally comprehensive work on the water
power of North Carolina is the prelimi-
nary report by Prof. j. A. Holmes State
Geologist. Mr., +. w. Myers. of the
Geological Survey, who has been indefat :
gable in field work. and Prof. Geo. #.
Swain, who in 1880 prepared . bulletin
on the water power of the State.
Particularly instructive to the general
reader is the photographic map prefxed
TO the report and showing the location of
all the water powers of the
State, developed and undeyeloped,
the latter largely predominating.
And yet with all these virgin
streams tumbling down from the noun
tains to the sea the map shows that by
far the larger number of cotton mills in
the State are run by steam power. In
ferentially the same proportion holds IN
other power-lsing industries.
This apparent anomaly (the use Of
costly power when cheap power is so
abundant is readily explieable, how

Tobacco Statistics.

North Carolina i'm 1896 cultivated
$4,000, 100000 pounds of tobacco which
it sold for $6,560,00O. 1t manufactur
ed in the various forms for consump-
tion 35,000,000 pounds, which was SOIL
at an average Of thirty cents per
pound, making S7,000,000. Add the
two amounts together and it will be
seen that North Carolina derived in
that year S13,650,00O from its tobacco
industry.
In 1895 we had in operation $50
manufacturing establishments, s6
warehouses, and 229 leaf factories,
stemmeries and prize houses, all to-
gether representing a money invest
ment of $26,0o0oO0, giving daily EN-
ployment to $4,000 people.
Since that date ten new counties
have been added to the tobacco belt
of North Carolina, and the growth of
the tobacco industry has gone for
ward by leaps and bounds. No re-
liable statistics have been taken since
1895, but the business has increased
greatly.

We have received . little pamphlet

the Boston Journal. The careful study

have embittered households and pol

This little book-we dislike the term

how to dress your coachman. groom.

Thus. for instance. the coachman
should wear six buttons on his coat
two on the back 1t waist and two ct
the bottom Of the skirt. He should
also have flaps on his pockets. Other
wise he might be mistaken for the
groom. who has NO naps on the pock-
cts and has I'VE buttons In front and
six behind. These buttons should a.
ways match the metal trimmings ON
the harness. Ardent Bryanites will, Of
course, use silver.
The hat must be silk. There ID no
