THE New York Sun makes
the following gratifying
statement in regard to the
growth of the South: ''In
the matter of increase
of population in the different
portions Of this country the
inevitable has come, and it is
welcome. The South is re-
ported by the Director of the
Census to have shown during
the last decade, relatively a
greater rate of increase in
population than either the
North or the West. The
awakening of Southern ener-
gy, the restoration of self
confidence and the stimula-
ton of ambition, and the con-
sequent spread of industry,
have at last brought the South
to its own as a fertile and re-
sourceful portion of the
Union. The country rejoices
that the South is so sharing
in the national prosperity.'
