full and healthfuI climates of the south arc no new creation; they have existed since the upheaval of the continent from the bed of the ocean. The new-created south is the Industrial south Tiaase indus tries are not only already numerous in one or two branches, but of evef-inereasins di- versity We can well afford in this arSsole to give space to few of them, in main- taining the point that the material Re- sources of the south are beyond ca1cula- tiou. The principal staples of wide areas in Virginia, twenty years ago. were tobac- co and peanuts; in North Carolina, tar turpenafne, resin, lumber Qncidentally), and cotton; in South Carolina, cotton and rice; fn Georgia, cotton and sugar cane; in Alabama cotton and (incidentally), coal and iron; in Tennessee, coal, iron, ana Qn- cidentally), stock; in Kentucky, coal, horses and stock, and tobacco; in Mississip- pi,. cotton, But in each of these States there has entered a new factor within the last ten years ss.
 A MODERN BEHEMeTH
 This factor is the Southern Railway Sys- tenn.
 A great railroad line, extending through thousands of miles of country Is a gigan- tic force put in motion for human better ment It cuts path through the primeval wilderness; it annihilates distances between trading centers far apart; 1t unttes eozn- munities which, until it's bands of steel joined them in intercourse, were strangers and perhaps estranged. It banishes saw agery and carries civilization behind the tenders. It iltumines the waste places and solitudes, the torch of the explorer. It is at once the harginger and the creator of pros perity. pointing the way and hswing the way to profitable markets. It changes the very face of nature, bidding cities rise in desert places, and converting stubble-fields into vineyards and orchards, or into fair and fruitful farms. Industrial activity fol- lows in its wake, trade and commerce wait upon its coming. It is modern behemoth forcing its ponderous way through and over all obstacles and forging paths both wide and deep for the caravans of the future
 Since the advent of the Southern Rail- way ameng the great railway systcEgs of the world, new definition has been given the name "Alabanfa.'' No longer is the name synonymous with ease, but here we rest has given way to There we progress"

Nh Place Now Ger Congress to Sit

Washington Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
 If it should become necessary to call an extra session of Congress that body would have to find other quarters than the capi- tol in which to hold it's sessions. This building is now in full possession of large corps of mechanics and it will re- quire three or four months steady work to put it in shape for occupancy. The Senate chamber and the hall of the House are be- ing renovated.
 All the carpets, desks, chairs and other furniture have been removed from these two halls and are scattered through the corridors. Work of all kind is being done, such as installing new machinery, eleva- tors replacing worn out floors, gas and electric fixtures and painting.
 The rotunda resembles a room that has been wrecked by dynamite. It is filled with old furniture, debris and hundreds of huge pieces of timber having been laid on the ficor to protect it from injury while the work of repairing Is in progress These tim bers are necessary for the use of the trucks used in dispesfng of the material taken from the original Congressional library, which is being converted Into committee rooms and reference library.
 When this work is finished there will be a library near at hand for the convenience of the Senators and Representatives who have complained of the delay in securing books from the Congressional library be- yond the capiLoI plaza There Will also Dc twenty-eight committee rooms in the space formerly used as the, library, half of which will be assigned to. the Senators and mem bers When. Congress reconvenes it VIII find a great deal has been done in the way of improvements to the capitol looking to the comfort of its members<

 The Southern Railway has built up a manifcent fast freight service. over all it's lines. It operates the Piedmont Air Line from the east on the following fast sehed- ule to Birmingham: From Boston. 80 hours;
 from New York, 6S hours; from Phfladel-
 phia, 6T hours; from Baltimore, 60 hours; from Norfolk, E hours. The Piedmont Air
 Line is daily service from Boston, Provt-
 dence, New York and Baltimore, and a tri-weekly service from Philadelphia The Southern Railway also operates fast freight all-rai1 service from interior New York and Pennsylvania points, known as the "Richmend and DaHviile Dispatch" The Southern Railway has magnificent and extensive terminal facilities at Bruns-
 wick Ga., and Charleston, s. C., through
 which ports they have built up a large
 and growing export trade, particularly in
 Alabama pig iron. 1t also exports largely
 through New Orleans.
 Another enterprise inaugurated by the
 Southern Railway to the benefit of Birn-
 ingham particularly, is the handling of Jef-
 ferson and Walker County coals via Green
 yille Miss, and barges, enabling Alabama
 coals to reach New Orleans and Mississippi
 river plantations in competition with Pitts
 burg coal, which had been impossible until
 the inauguration of this line.
 The Southern Railway is, perhaps, more
 progressive than any other line in the manufacturers and farmers into the ter- ritory adjacent to its lines NJ " Richards, land and industrial agent, Washington. D. C., has charge of this department. ALABAMA GREAT SOUTHERN. The Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company. 296 miles long, extending from Chattanooga. Tenn, to Meridian.

The primeval woods of Alabama have

 has banfshed the shadows; farm lands and
