MONEY MAKING CHANCES SOUTH

More money has been made in the
southern states in the last 20 years
than will be made in the next 90 years
in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines,
ana the chances for money making in
the south have only commenced. The
at Birmingham, Ala, and that city will
shortly make the worlds price OF steel
The south's industrial evolution, which
began with the development of its iron
interests, rapidly spread to all of the
collateral iron industries, including
machine-shops ana foundries. stove
factories, steel plants, and hardware
factories. The 5000 new industries
which have sprung up during the past
year include fertilizer and phosphate
works, wood working factories, furni-
ture, vehicle, agricultural and miscel-
laneous works textile. -four and cotton
seed oil mills; gas and water works,
telephone systems; electric light ana
power, and ice and cold-storage plants;
canneries and hundreds of miscellan-
eous plants. Nearly every southern
state has Increased its railroad 'nh cage
during the past year, and every south
ern harbor has largely increased its ex-
port trade.
Alabama has shipped 1000 tons OF
iron day, month after month, and the
ports OF New Orleans, Norfolk, Balti-
more, Pensacola, Brunswick and Mo-
bile are shipping American products
direct and by the shortest route to
many foreign countries. The develop
is in it's infancy, and in the manufac-
ture of textiles that section OF the
country has not begun to take the place

900 spindles were aided TO the equip
ment of southern mills, in which So
900 900 sought new inves tment. Near
ly 81 100000 went into the cotton-seed
mills for American cotton oil finds
market in every civilized country-and
100000 is being put in the iron and
steel industries of Alabama, ana mil
lions into those of Tennessee and Vir-
ginia. Rich in natural resources, with
splendid water-powers still unde-
veloped and almost unknown, welcom-
ing the investor from the north, the
south is having wonderful awaken
ing and il requires no cunning eye to
perceive that it is on the road to I'M
measured ana unreasonable wealth.
Gen. Wilson, the secretary OF agricul-
ture. has just called attention to the
fact that the agricultural wealth OF the
south would be vastly increased If its
products were diversified; that, favored
as it is by conditions of climate and
soil, it can find an enormous market in
the north for its early vegetables,
spring lamb, young chickens, and other
commodities which, in this luxurious
day, find ready sale in every city. The
canning industry can find no better To-
cation than in many of the southern
states, where fruits are raised in the
greatest abundance and at the lowest
cost Fruit culture and the culture of
nuts find their best opportunities in the
southern states There is everything,
in fact, in the south TO sustain large
population in comfort and with less
hardship than must be encountered in
almost any other section of the world.

FOR THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS-
A Valuable Collection of Books and
Papers to Re Presented.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Among the gentlemen prominently men,
toned for librarian of Congress was Mr..
Orvile J. Victor of New Jersey. Mr.. Vic
tor, having been a lifelong student of
American history, politics and men, has ac-
quired a large and unique collection of
books and documents along these lines
made necessary by his work as historian
biographer and writer on public affairs
AS the author of the compendious History
of the Southern Rebellion" he gathered
with assiduous care, a mass of books, doc
uments. special papers, etc, relating to the
war for the Union in all it's aspects, civil
political, military, financial, foreign rela-
tiCns and secret service-data of exceeding
value and moment. He also has been, for
years, scissoring from the American and
European press matter relating to the
struggle between the states until these clip
pings now constitute an invaluable literary
and historic fund.
Mr.. Victor proposes to contribute from
these several departments Of his library
such volumes, documents and data as shall
be necessary to make the Congressional
Library collections and archives the more
complete and valuable AS arranged with
the late librarian, John Russell Young he
proposes to turn over to the Congressional
Library all his mass of clippings notes. let
terS and memoranda, to he carefully cIas-
sitied and bound in serap-volumes for per-
manent preservation and utility. His ref

From this he will contribute to the Con-
gressonal Library any volumes not now

VERY OLD LETTERS,
Interesting Manuscripts which Have
Been Recently Discovered.
From the Open Court.


The discovery of the "Logia Tesou' at
ONyrhynchus in 1897 aroused worldwide
interest in the archaeological explorations
being conducted in Egypt. But the Logia
were by no means the only manuscripts
found at that time and place. The Egypt
exploration fund. under whose auspices
this work was being done by Messrs. Gren-
leil and Hunt, has just published under
their editorshfp a whole volume, containing
more than a hundred and fifty ancient texts
found at that time.
Among these is a single naqa of tba
Gospel OF Matthew, which is older than any
other MS. of the New Testament now
known. The formal invitations of tho sec
Gnu anu thifd century were SO much like
those issued today that with the names
and dates changed, they might be copied
ana used as models of elegance in any So
cial circle. This invitation TO dinner for
instance: "ChaeremOn requests vour com
Pahy at dinner at the table of the lord
Scraps in the Serapeum tomorrow the
loth at O'clock" A less formal letter
o. invitation to a festival was also found.
Erecting, my dear SerenIa, from Petosiris
De sure, dear, to come up on the 2Oth for
the birthday festival of the god and LET
me know whether you are coming by haat
or py donkey, in order that we may send
for you accordingly. Take care not TO for
get L pray for your continued health" A
letter of consolation written in the second
century Is no less interesting: Irene to
tepOiAiopAiiS anu InllO, good cheeri / was
as much grieVed and shed as many tears
over Eumoerus as / shed for Didymas and
did everything that was fitting, and SO
did all my friends, Epaphrodtus and Their

do in the face of such trouble So | leave

Admiral SchIey's Toast.
Rear Admiral Schley, replying to "Our
Navy" said:
The war history of our navy is familiar
to you all, and no words | couldsadd of its
dash or daring in the recent struggle
would seem necessary; the names Of its
great captains will live imperishably in
the affection of our people for whom they
wrought and fought.
The legacy Of their work means a wider
scope to the duties of citizenship, and the
honor of their glory gives deeper inspira-
ton TO that patriotic devotion to name
and TO kindred which begets that note of
confidence underlying the solid structure
of this blessed republic Of ours over and
beyond all else in their lives was that con-
secrauon to duty in their country's serv-
Ice that set its triumphs and its glory be-
yond all risks or exposure TO themselves
and thrilled their hearts and nerved their
arms for the battle.
The war through which the nation has
Just passed has shown that her sons have
been faithful to their inherited traditions.
and that the safety and welfare of our peo-
pie are secure in their keeping. Let us
nope that the peace il accomplished may
be lasting and that the two nations may,
under Gods providence, march forward in
undisturbed amity and friendship for the
future.
Il do not recall in history that a nation
ever before declared war upon another
and the day following blockaded the en-
emys ports. Such was the condition Of
readiness in our navy that this was pos
slble in the late war, and the lesson II i'm
presses ought not to be fogotten that war,
TO be short, sharp and decisive, can only
be made so by preparation in times Of
peace, so that when 1t must be undertaken
ii can only end with honor and dignity
to the nation"

MUDB MEN CHOSEN.
Delegates to State Convention Named by
Republicans at La Plata.

Special to The Post.
La Plata, Md, June 19.-The Republican
Convention met here to-day, pursuant 10
q call of the County Central Committee
Last week, when the call Cor the prima-
ries was made by Congressman Mudd
Chairman of the County Executive Com
mitt9e, so shortly after the State Commit
tee had met. it was the impression that
Mr.. Mudd anticipated a primary contest
and deemed this the best time to make
the fight advantageously. This impression
was borne out by the activity of the
friends of States Attorney Adrian Posey.
From the date of the call for the prima-
ries up to the time they were held a lively
contest was precipitated. AT the prima-
ries, however, for reasons best known to
Mr.. Posey, the fight was declared off, and
Congressman MUdd in every district of
the county controlled. In consequence
thereof the convention of to-day was a
tame affair.
Clerk of the Circuit Court B. G. Stone
street. a close political friend of the Con-
gresham, presided. and CANA Wade.
colored, and Sheriff John w. Clements
were made secretaries of the convention.
1t did not take long for that body to per-
form its work. 1t first decided not to
place a local ticket in the field at this
time, and State Senator George T. c.
Gray, ex-Sheriff George A. Wade, Sheriff
John-W. Clements, Election Supervisors
Frank Medley, James Thomas. and Daniel
Butler, the latter two being cOlored, were
sent to the State Convention, each being
entitled to half a vote. Alternates were
elected as follows: sydney Z. MUdd
Frank Brown. and W. ID. c. Mitchell The
convention adjourned subject TO the call
of its Chairman, after having passed reso-
lutions indorsing Gov. Lowndes. The del
egata5, however, are uninst.ucted.
