MATERIAL PROGRESS AT The
SOUTH.
(From Leslie's weekly.)

The expansion OF the South in the next
ten years is reasonably certain to be
greater proportionateiy as well as abso-
lutely than 1t has been In the decade just
ended. In several of the states Of the
South are immense deposits OF coal and
iron, the pcs session OF which determine

trial standing in country or in the
world. OF oourss Its cotton product Is
UNNECESSARILY greater than that produced
by all the rest OF the world in the aggre-
gate, and even here there are opportuni-
ties for almost unlimited growth. Ot
the IA, C00-(00 bales OF cotton produced in
the entire world, the southern states con-
tyibuts a little over 20 per cent. The
country is breaking all records these days
in its expectation of domestic merchan-
disc, and this, In a great degree, is caused
by the enormous shipments Of cotton,
which furnish the largest single item In
the value Of the country 8 exports Cot
ton prices at the present time are higher
than the AVERAGE OF any recent year, the
product is large. and as consequences
the south is prosperous.
But tina South .haH been learning to
utilize some Of its cotton product at
home While the northern states in 1891

of the North were =, 217, COO in 1899, and
those Of the south were LAS 900. That
is, while the North was practically
static ary between 1891 and 1899 in the
amount OF cotton which 1t manufactured,
the south much more than doubled Its
own manufactures Of that staple. And
the South has only just made be2inD-
ing in this branch of induEtry. In the
production of coal and the manufacture
of iron and steel the South has made
great advances In the past few years. and
here too, only beginning has been
made Birmingham, Admission and Chat
tanooga are getting to be known all over
the world for the quantity and the quail
ity of their iron and steel manufactures,
and the South is making the world
prices for iron and steel
Socially, too, the South Is making
exceedingly creditablle gains since 1855
the southern states have expended over
$500, COO, 600 for the public school educa-
tion Of their children, blacks and whites
alike, although the white population pays
whites AND blacks Is declining IN the
South. The attractions of that section
to settlers from the northern states and
from Europe are steadily increasing.
That section will undoubtedly make a
greater growth In population, in INDUS

fender which will stand with some
slight alterations or notifications during
the construction Of the boat. The LAwley

statement to the contrary, the Defender
may become the trial horse for the Bos-
ton boat, provided MIR. Lawson oan OBJ
tain her at reasonable sum and she is
in q condition that will bear repairing
without considerable expense. A repre-
sentative of Mr.. Lawson is now In N ew

1t has not yet been decided what Will

though IL will not be quite SO thick as
those on the Columbia which were 7-40 OF

will, however, be OF nickIe steel, the
hronzed plating coming up about as
high as the plating OF the Defender,
whose topsides are OF aluminium. The
duck for the sails has been ordered, but
1t Will be some time before Wilson begins

there seems to be every Indication that
