The address which Mr. Hoke Smith %
Atlanta delivered last night before tine
Real Estate Board Of Chicago, on "Tne
South and Her Commercial Future" can
not help making a good impression in
the West. The views which he present
ed viii be very generally approved IN
I the South. There are few Southern men
who understand better than ne the re-
/ sources Of the South. and what the South
ern people have accomplished since the
close Of the Civil. War.
In his .ntsdress 0ar.. Smith pointed out
the causes which blocked the progress of
the South 50 many years after that war
causes which have practically ceased to
exist, or, if still existing, are no longer
regarded as a serious hinderance to pros
perity.
In Mr.. Smiths opinion the progress
which the South has made in the last
two years is a better indication of the
progress the South is to make in the
future than that Of any other period of
her history. There is no doubt that the
advancement of the Southern states dur
ing the period named has been remarka-
BILE. The high price of cotton has made
the farmers prosperous. and has given
new life to business and all sorts of en-
terprises. 1t has given the Southern peo-
pie the money they need for the build
ing of factories and the development of
the vast resources of their section. Whne
the farmers have been prospecting the
building of factories has been going on
at rapid rate. And cotton factories are
not the only kind that are being built
There are SO many kinds that it is GER
tain that the South, within very few
years, viii be a great manufacturing sec
ton of the country.
Mr. Smith called attention to the num-
Der of bales of cotton produced at the
beginning of the century that has just
closed, and compared it with the number
produced at the close of that century
The conclusion he drew was that it would
not be very many years before i'm this
country the production of cotton would
amount to twenty-five million bales a
year, and he expressed the opinion that
the world would need a crop of that size
from this country, and would pay a price
for it that would yield the growers a
profit.
Mr.. Smiths address should be given
very general circulation particularly in
the West where there are many people
who are thinking of seeking homes in the
| South

Slightly Mixed,

During the recent convention of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union in this
city, says the Washington Star, members
of the Reception Committee were on duty
at the railroad passenger stations for the
purpose of according a proper welcome
to incoming delegates. Among those as
signed to the work az the Pennsylvania
depot was a particularly attractive young
woman, who was as ambitions as she was
inexperienced as regards the work of
greeting strangers.
A train rolled in, and as the passengers
aighted therefrom the attractive young
woman was all in a fiutter. She scanned
the stream of humanity as 1t filed through
the big gate, and al length espied a we'll
dressed gentleman, who not only wore a
silk hat, but also white ribbon attached
to the lapel of his coat.
The attractive young woman rushed to
meet the well-dressed gentleman as eager
ly as though he were her long lost broth
er.
so glad to see you" she exclaimed,
Come right along and l will conduct you
20 comfortable quarters"
The wearer of the silk hat and white
ribbon was rendered speechless for a mo-
ment. He finally managed to gasp:
BEG pardon, miss but isn't this mis-
take?"
Cant be a mistake" the attractive
young woman hurriedly declared. You
see, we both wear the white ribbon"
And what does yours representa-" the
stranger then wanted ito know.
"Why, it's the badge of the w. c. T. L.,
Of course"
"Well, mine is the color of the winning
horse in the last race al the Benning
race track this afternoon" smlingly ex-
planned the well-dressed gentleman.
CONSERVATION and apologies followed.

THE TROUBLESOME cANrEEN.

| The army canteen causes the army.
| Congress and the temperance people
/ a great deal of trouble. The last Con-
gress undertook to close the canteen, but
the act not being properly worded the At
/ torney General found it an easy matter
/ to keep It open. II is probable that the
/ President had cause to regret that the
/ Attorney General was so successful in
finding loophole in the law. The Pro
hibitonists attacked him viciously and
! some OF them. during the presidential
campaign, proposed that good people all
over the country should pray unceasing-
~ that he might not be elected.
In the pending army bin the House
Committee on Military made provision for
the canteen. The House struck it out
after warm debate. Without the can
teen provision the bill went 40 the SEN
ate The Committee on Military affairs
in that body put it back, and the army
officers were sure that the bill would be-
come law containing provision author
izing the canteen. The dispatches yester-
day stated that the Senate, by a very sub
vision. 1t seems therefore that the Pro-
hibitionists, mainly members of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union, have
more influence in Congress than have off,
GERS of the army In The canteen matter
There can hardly be a doubt that the
judgment of a majority of both the Sen
ate and the House is that the rank and
file OF the army are better off by far with
the canteen than without it, but both SEN
ators and Representatives are actually
afraid to do in this matter what they be-
iieve to be for the best interests of the
army. 1t is certain that if soldiers are
not permitted to purchase beer and light
wines within the jurisdiction Of the army
they viii purchase not only them but dis
titled liquors of the worst sort outside of
the armys jurisdiction.
This is the testimony of army officers
based on experience. The Prohibitionists
will be permitted to have their way. but
il will be at a serious cost to the army.
Drunkenness among the soldiers will not
cease. On the contrary, there are good
reasons for thinking that it will increase.
Wherever there is an encampment of SOL
diers there will be blind tigers and the
soldiers will be induced to purchase the
vile stuff 10 be had in such places. 1t has
been so in the past and no doubt will be
so In the future. Sun. the Prohibition
lists will have the satisfaction of saying
that they scared the countrys statesmen
into abolishing the canteen.

The protest Of those New Orleans ex-
Confederates against the sending of an in
vitation TO President Mckinley to attend
the Memphis reunion Of the United Con-
federate Veterans will not generally be
re-echoed by old soldiers Of the Lost
Cause. Maj. Mckinley was a brave and
honorable foe during the war, and being
such he feels the highest admiration for
the brave and honorable men against
whom he fought. OF late years he has
used the weight of his influence towards
wiping out the last vestige Of IN feeling
that may have remained in the North
and the South as a consequence of that
mighty struggle. II was he who proposed
that the national government take charge
Of the graves Of the Confederate dead
and care for them the came as for the
graves Of the Federal dead, as a tribute
20 the valor Of American soldiers There
are many thousands Of ex-Confederates
who would be glad TO shake the hand OF
Mai. Mckinley. and # IS quite certain
that he would find "A visit TO his ex-
enemies at Memphis TO be very enjoyable.

GRIP EPIDEMIC.

The Eastern and Western papers are
fun of accounts of the grip which is re-
ported to be epidemic in many cities.
Chicago physicians estimate that there
are as many as 100000 cases of the dis
ease in that city and the death rate is
increasing with alarming rapidity. In
Philadelphia and New York the doctors
are having all they can do to comply
with the calls upon them. The disease
has also obtained a very firm foothold in
Washington, and the number of con-
gressmen who are suffering from it is
large
The President is confined to his room
with it, but the statement is given out
that his symptoms are not alarming
Nevertheless there is considerable specula-
ton as to the Presidents successor in the
event that he succumbs 40 the dis
ease. Mr.. Mckinley has not yet been
elected to his second term, and will not
be until next Monday when the electoral
college will cast its ballots which will
be counted and the result declared on the
second Wednesday of February.
OF course If he should die now the Sec
rotary of State would succeed him, there
being no Vice President, but how would
it be on the Fourth of March? 1t seems
to be the opinion that Mr. Roosevelt
would be sworn in as Vice President and
would then Immediately qualify as Presi-
dent.
There is nothing alarming in the con-
dition of the President, however and
therefore there does not seem to be any
occasion at this time for speculations as
to his successor in the event of his death
In some of the cities, particularly Chi
cago, it is the opinion of the physicians
that the grip this winter is of a more
virulent character than when it made its
appearance in this country several years
ago. Such an opinion is not at all COM
forting to persons in all parts of the
country who seem to be attacked by the
disease every winter.
The Board of Health of New York city
is of the opinion that the disease this
winter is not due to germs carried over
from last winter, but is direct impor-
tation from Europe. AS to the value of
this opinion each person must judge for
himself As a matter of fact it is not of
much consequence. however, whether the
epidemic is due to native or imported
germs. The native germ is just about as
bad as the foreign one.
