GROWTH Of SOUTH
IS PRESS|VE
Agent of Southern Railway Re.
cites Improvements Made
Along That Road.
Especial Dispatch to The Times J

CINCINNATI Sept. 23.-M V. Rich
ards. of Washington, general land and
industrial agent OF the Southern and the
Mobile and Ohio, is at the Grand Hotel.
Speaking of the development Of the
South, especially that part which IS ra-
dated by the Southern lines, Mr.. Rich
ards said:
our fiscal year for preparing statistics
ends July LIST. ] am gratilied to state
that last year was the most successful
in the history of the South. When 1t is
considered that along the Southern sys-
tenn there We're erected and put in opera
ton 67S new factories, additions were
made to 2l5. and there were under con-
struction and not completed at the end of
the year 1855 manufacturing establish
1nents, it must be apparent that there is
a steady increase in the industrial growth
OF the South.
THE total cost Of improvements in the
critics and towns along the Southern Rail
way system, we estimate, was SllI,0o,otO.
"Our records show there were sold dur
ing the year nearly 100000 acres of land,
but, of course, there were many hundreds
of thousands of acres of land sold of which
we have no data. Southern agriculture
Is commanding the attention of farmers
from all other sections of the Union.
The increase in the value of farm prop
erty in the South within the last decade
was 90 per cent. The value of farm pro-
ducts in the South in the same period
increased 90 per cent. and for the year
previous to 1900 is estimated as Sill, 900 900.
Cotton, of course. is the leading pro-
duct, with Slso.o00.o0o; corn coming next,
with over sl53,oaO,o9D. A large amount OF
wheat was also grown, as the figures
given are $50, 900 600. This amount Is ex-
ceeded by over 100000 for hay and
forage.
| Large areas of the South are now given
over to vegetables and fruits More than
$50 100000 is annually paid to Southern
truck farmers, and the fruit interests
make total Of nearly s15.oeo,ooo more.
The dairy is also showing a substantial
increase, and has reached a total of about
$50 900 900. followed closely by the poultry
products. which foot 42,ooo,Ho.
Tobacco is also a large crop and nearly
| 0o0o, 600 is the amount annually received
through this source:

with additional novelties added. which
should induce those who have not seen
the display to assuredly attend.

New Styles and New CoIorings on Dis~
play at The Popular Store.


play at the Popular Store.
Kaufman * Cnmpany's fall opening
and millinery display attracted a crowd
during The entire day yesterday. All
aDout coiurS, tints, shades and styles for
the tan is TO be learned by a tour through
the sevcra! departments. which are ar
ranged TO their pest advantage. The first
1illHg to strike one in tbs whole display
is tlte reVetslun OF Co.or from the past scar
son. EverythinSls decided. Therchness IS
most attractive. as upon entering the
store one is surrounded by shades and
tints varying from the intensity OF burnt
orange 10 the deiicacy of the palcst
green, and the sottness OF the rghtest
blue.
The effect throughout is gorgeous in
the extreme; its full effect is most In
1ensely realized in The French pattern
room. where the light Of day is excluded.
Here, in The artificial light the coiors
are most beautifully brought out There
are deep yeloWs. strong blues, striking
greens, all in all giving u rich warmth
about the entire display.
AS to fall fashions, those who thronGed
the several departments learned this
morning many things The change in
stlye OF skirts is pronounced. that in
stead Oh tlc lull managing SaiihSlitS, ILLS
fall they will be WORN tight and closely
fitting Much of the flowers and train
has been discarded, and generally the
skirts are shorter. following after the
pedestrian patterns.
AS to jackets the striking feature is
the large droop sleeve. The suits are
made OF mems suitings, called the snow
flake pattern, and have much tbs appear
ance OF mems clothing. This is an in
Ilovation in suits. There are suits for
everybody, large and small In hats the
fiat" Is popular, especially in beaver, and
are generally trimmed with long ends
hanging down over the hair, and some
even to the shoulders. Some are extreme,
while others are not so bad. The hats
are decidedly different from last season
both in style. colors and size the latter
generally being much larger Not SO
much has the picture hat increased IN
size as are the street hats. Among the
many rllinGs admired by the coming and
going throng was the ruche. or chiffon
cane. Some of these are deliberately
trimmed with lace with the muf to
match. The Monte Carlo coat IS on ex-
hibiiion. being just a little worse than
the automobile coat, but still quite the
proper thing. The display on the whole
IS one of the most extensive ever seen
in the city. and is attracting much at
tention, and will be continued to-day.

Social ana
PsrsonQl

The question of fall wraps is one which
is causing deep interest in society with
the first breath of autumn. During the
past summer. big. loose. thin coats, of
different lengths and material, but always
unlined. have appeared upon the figures
of young girls and raaxrons alike. Fall
models exhibit them as very wide and
in full length, heavy black silk being
adopted by preference as the favorite ma
terial. Some three-quarter length coats
are colorless and have heavy lace lnser-
ton trimming the neck and extending
down the front to the bottom. This style
of coat is unusually we'll suited to the
wearing of the pretty effects in neck
ruffs, which are far too becoming to be
laid aside yet. Some of these are SO wide
as to droop from the shoulders. They
are constructed with special view to
auffiness and are dear to the feminine
heart by virtue of their beauty heiShten-
ing effects. Coats for tailored gowns
show a variety Of shapes and trimmings
One popular pattern displays a Norfolk
jacket, cut Jacket somewhat like a mans
shooting coat. loosely fitted and belted.
Another, not so stylish, is merely a box
without being confined, and scarcely
reaching below the waist line.
