THE soUTHs INDUSTRIAL BOOM

No signs of any checking of the
south's industrial boom are now IN
sight. The Financial Chronicle takes
a most optimistic view of the situa-
ton. It says that the continued gains
in the gross earnings of our railroad
transportation lines constitutes one of
the most encouraging as well as one of
the most striking features of the situa-
ton. For the fourth week of Febru-
airy, the compilation shows an increase
of 1859 per cent The wonderful
thing about this is that there was an
Improvement of about the same dimen-
sions at the same time last year, the in
crease of 1900 being 13 81 over 1899 and
1900 showed a considerable gain over
1898. The Chronicle notes that the i'm
provement extends to practically all
sections of the country and for some
classes of roads reaches almost phe-
nomenal proportions

AGRICULTURE IN THE TWELFTH
CENSUS.

The net additions to farm resources
in the decade. stated in millions Of dol
lars will exceed the reported value of
all farm investments in 1850 In other
words the increased wealth of our
farmers, as the result Of their last ten
years labor, equals the farm wealth Of
the nation, reported as the outcome of
their toll and economies, from the set
tlement at Jamestown to the middle of
the nineteenth century.
LIE Grand, Powers. Chief Statlstican
IN charge of Agriculture, writing In
the March Review of Reviews, is re-
sponsible for the above. When I'M
mense projects are IN course OF con-
summation in the manufacturing and
transportation industries il is possible
to lose sight OF the increase Of wealth
going forward on the commonplace
farm, which, is the foundation of the
economic structure we are rearing
The mind is dazzIed with spectaeles of
fortunes wrapped up in great comb1na-
tons and trusts, and too little atten-
ton given to the much vaster amount
of real wealth contained in farm lands,
and in their produce.
In the South Central division OF
States - Tennessee. Kentucky, Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, there Is contained !, 600 600 farms,
and it is asserted by Mr. Powers that
/ IN the ten years ending with 1900 these
have witnessed the most changes and
the greatest development they have
ever experienced in a like period of
time
They show an increase from 535, 600
to SOC, 600 farms, the previous greatest
increase of any decade being 175, 600
1870 to 1880
Much of this. Of course, comes from
the carving up of the public domain II
Texas, Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory, but all Of the States comprised in
the division share in it An increase
of /, 600 million dollars Will be shown
by the census as the increase-note the
word increase in the value of farm re-
sources III this division N the past ten
years
With such facts before us is it pot
worth while for public scientist and
legislator to direct more attention tc
an industry IN which lies such poten,

The Texas Legislature has been get
ting after the razor-back lawyers with
a sharp stick. It has passed barratry
act which prohibits attorneys from To-
menting litigation or soliciting bust
ness in any way. The same legislature

state It is called locally the ''blue

state floral emblem serves nobody has
yet been able to explain very clearly

think that every state ought to have
