THE souTH's PROGRESS.
HANDSOME SHOWING MADE BY
MR. RICHARD ii. EDMONDS.

HANDSOME SHOWING MADE BY
MIR RICHARD ii. EDMONDS.
In his paper before the Southern
Hardware Jobbers' Association at At
lantic City. New Jersey. recently, Mr..
Richard ii. E.dmonds. editor of the
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore,
made showing for Southern progress
that is little short OF marvellous Deal
ing with the havoc wrought by the
civil War, he said:
In the valuation of property the
south outr2nlSed the New England and
Middle States In 1860 by $3.50. 600. 000. bu,
during the decade ending with 1870 the
South's total wealth decreased from
$4,000. 600 900 to 400 GOO 600. while the
New England and Middle States. ow-

about by the war. advanced from So

showed decline Of over So 600 .0OO. 600
while the other gained nearly $1,000 :
600 O00''
This is one picture or the South. The
transformation that has taken place
from 1850 to 1899 is the other, as indi-
Gated by these figures:

AS Mr. Edmonds says, with these
figures before US, it is difficult to fore
cast what the next ten years will bring
to the South in the way OF Industrial
development.

AND PLAINTIFFS WOULD SUFFER-
BECAUSE HER FRIENDS DID NOT
MEET HER.
The plaintiff sued the railroad com
pany for damages for being carried
past her destination on s. cold, dark
night. The plaintiff alleged that the
conductor after she had been carried
past her station at Cove Island spoke
to her in an Insulting manner and or
dered her to get off Al Sealey: that the
cars were sometimes hot and at other
times cold. whereby She contracted
neuralgia. and that had she been per-
United to get off at her station. she
would have been met by some one with
warm wraps. whereas, when she re-
turned on the next morning she became
very cold. and there being no one 10
meet her, she was conveyed to her
home in suffering and helpless con-
dtion. She had n ticket to Cove Is
land but the train did hot stop, but
ran by. and afterwards the conductor
sent her back on returning train

has turned his attention to the stock mar
ket and when the big boom came, caused
by the Jump in Panhandle and the lifting
of every stock on the list, Tod Sloan was
on the right side. 1t was announced to-
night that the successful jockey had made a
clear winning of $400, 900, and that all he had
to do to claim his fortune was to get to the
Office Of his New York broker and order
sale.
No one knew that Sloan was playing the
stock market. He himself did not think he
was going into it heavily. He just placed
his money on the bull side of the market as
he would place it on some favorite horse.
and things came Tods way. That Tod
played a chance game is borne out by the
fact that he is not certain just what stocks
he bought. He remembers buying, but ne
is forgetful when it comes to long names
He remembers Panhandle, but whether he
invested in Panhandle, he says, is entirely
too long ago for him to recall
Sloan takes the winning OF 100000 as cooIly
as he takes the winning of stake race. he
seems to think that 1t was only natural for
him to win; that losing with him is out OF
the question.
In the meantime Sloan is journeying East
from San Francisco. He doesn't seem In one
bit of hurry, either He seems to think
the race over and wen, and that the chance
for further rise In the market, which Will
add to his fortune, is merely side bet.
Whether his stocks will go up peg or Two
or drop a peg or two Is not worrying MIN
in the least. -,
Sloan has declared that the 100000 will
not keep him from riding in the future.
He. in fact has declared that he will ride
harder than ever.

A return to boxing competition will be made
