SOUTH'S GREATEST PORT,

The business of all the South
ern ports has increased remarkab-
ly during the last five years, and
will continue to grow.
The South is producing more
than ever before, and her ports
have better facilities for handa
ling both coastwise business and
exports.
The shipping of Savannah has
grown remarkably of late. So
has that Of Brunswick.
NV Orleans makes magni-
fcent showing for her business of
the st fiscal year.
L increased over 80 per cent
during the twelve months ended
June 80, aud New Orleans is now
the second seaport of the United
States, having surpassed Boston,
which long held that position.
Doling the last ten months the
bank clef RANGES of New Orleans
have increased by the enormous
sum of S97, 26O,393, or % per
cent over the previous year.
This is a solid increase and not
due to speculation.
It is probable that New Or
leafs will hold the high position
she has gained as port. She will
soon have the added advantage of
another great steamship line, one
connecting her directly with Phil.
| adelphia. All the cities of the
South, both port and inland, are
in flou ishing condition. This
prosperity extends, of course,
thtouQ b out the agricultural reg
ions of III South. for the Interests
of the cities and the rural regions
are inter-dependent; they thrive or
languish together. The South is
moving forward at a pace which
| no other part of the country csn
show and Will keep tkis goodIy
! gait.

Gold Production i'm 1900.

On account Of the closing Of
the Transvaal mines the gold
production of the world in the
year 1900 was in value but $780,
924, 654, as against $311, sos, 947
in the previous year. The United
States gained first place, her lr--
duct being 1891, 1876 ounces,
worth $73,159.674. Australi.,
comes next with 3, $40, 13O ounccs
worth $73, 467 ITO. Canada Is
third in the list and Russia is
fourth. The British Empire as q
whole is still first. When mines
in the Rand are fully opened
Britaia will produce fully one.
half Of the worlds annual supply
of gold.
The product of this country is
steadily increasing, however,
and it will this year approximate
$50, 100000. Colorado is easy the
leader in America, supplying
nearly four tenths of the couns
try's total. California follows, but
her product is only about one
half of Coiorado's. In round num-
bers Colorado's output is thirty
million dollars, and CALIFORNIA;
fifteen million dollars. Cripple
Creek and Leadville are the gold
centers of this country. Alaska's
gold product fell below So ,OOo,.
900 last year but some of
Alsska's gold is included in Cans
ada's total, and it is difficult to
say just how much does come
from the land of iceburgs. The
other States that are big produc.
ers are in order South Dakota
Montana and Utah.
Mexico's output is steadily in
creasing, her aggregate of last
year being SO, 400, 063. The total
product of North America last
year was $116, 11O,0s7, and of
S9ush America S14, ,4O5. 319-a
total for all the Americas of

WALTER LETTER.

4 ChrOnicling of a Weeks Events
IN That Thriving Neigh
borhOod.
Mrs. Thedie Hill, from Eureka,
visited her sister, Mrs. D. A. Sasser,
last week.
Little Miss Sall1e Wrenn, from
your city, has been visiting in our
community.
Miss Annie Yelverton. who has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. Geo.
L. Becton. returned to her home
near Stantonsburg, last week.
Mr. and Mrs. w. H, Neal, attend
ed quarterly meeting at Princeton
last Sunday, and we're the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. T. Edwards.
Mr.. Wright Lynch spent We'd
nesday night at Mr.. J. G. Howell's
on prospecting tour. We would
be glad to have him as q permanent
citizen.
Elder VIM. Woodland, from Will
son, spent last Saturday night with
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Smith. "BilIy"
Woodard, as. he is familiarly known,
has friends everywhere he goes.
Mr.. Ed, Gurley and children left
last week for a visit to LaGrange
and Seven Springs. Mr.. Gurley
will remain at the Springs long
enough to test the virtues of it's
waters.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. T.. Hooks were
pleasant visitors at SOAK Glen" last
Sunday, where we were glad to see
them. Bob says Reynard will soon
be ripe, and his hounds can sing all
the parts, when they get straight
after him.
About the first time we ever left
home alone, after we quit wearing
knee pants and long aprons, it was
to go on Hollowell & Peterson's ex-
cursion to the coast. We will never
forget how we enjoyed tive still
enjoy it. Come along and let's go
with them next Tuesday.
Old ''Nell', the faithful gray,
which for years has served Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. Edwards, having been
owned by Mr. Edwards father, the
late Mr.. Sam Edwards. died last
week. at about 80 years old. A faith
full horse is mans next best friend
to his Maker. But few realize it.
The sound of the thresher is heard
in the land and biscuits will be more
plentiful with our farmers. But we
will have to content ourselves with
hoecake, unless we can borrow a
milling of wheat or trade our COW
for some. Our wheat crop has been
complete failure-we failed to
plant any, but our neighbors will di-
vide.
Two farmers near, raised together
six bushels of wheat, which reminds
us that Toby says he quit sowing
wheat because it was about as good
as he could do to raise enough to
SOW again. But we hope to see our
farmers giving more attention to
small grain, hay and stock, and less
to cotton and tobacco, the latter OF
which, is almost complete failure
this year in our section.

Greene was "at liberty for an engagement. During the after noon and evening some of the thespisns departed their several ways, some going to New York, some to Boston and Mir Greene to Kingston. Four of the com- pany had some individual accounts which delayed their departure until Saturday, when their telegrams brought welcome answers, and the last to go was the leading juvenile who boarded the evening train humming to himself:
 ''It's forty miles from Schenectady to Troy
 You want to keep tabs on that, my boy And when you are in Troy it's darned lons walk
