In an article urging the merchants
of Philadelphia to make special
efforts Ito secure Il share of the
trade of the South, tho Times of
that city says: 'The growth of
the South during the next year
will he greater than its growth in
the past five years and the last
five years made greater advance
ment in Southern progress than
was attained in thirty years pre-
vlous. lts wealth is boundIess
and more easy of access than that
of any other section of the coun>
try. Northern capital and labor
are turning to the inviting fields
now open to thom in the South. 1"
The foregoing is tho opinion
that is very generally hold in the
South. We shall be surprised if
the NOV, ment of Immigrants to
the South does not assume largo
proportions in the near future.
Tho fact that Southern farmers
are now in very prosperous cons
dition is appealing strongly to
farmers in less favored sections of
tho country, and tho whole world
is well AVA Of the fact that the
industrial movement IN about
very ono of the Southern States
is assuming large proportions.
The building of cotton mills is
only fairly begun, and yet the
number of such mills is 30 largo
that their takings of cotton have
Nm apprecisbis effect on tho price.
There ID hardly 4 day that there
is not an announcement of q now
enterprise Of some kind in the
iron producing sections. The
census ust taken will show that
the South has made wonderful
progress in manufacturing since
1890, but as the Philadelphia
lines points out, the progress
that will he msde in this respect
in the next few years will bs far
greater than any that has been
made at any time in the past.
Tho Southern people are wax
ing up to their opportunities, and
are making the most of their adj
vantsges. Apparently they ar.
themselves ust beginning to un>
dsrstand how vast their material
resources are. The money that
Is coming into tho South now
from the high prize of cotton will

The farmers and buainess mon
are coming TO the conclusion that

Investments than in cotton futures.
