A New South.

A rew south is coming up above
the.horrison, and another star In the
constellation of an empire of states.
The south is now producing 81, 600, ,OOC
tons of coal, eight times the entire
output of the whole country in 1880.
It's pig iron product exceeds that of
the same year by nearly 100000.
Two score years ago 1t had but 10000
miles of railroad, and In 1902 it has
5000 miles. In ten years its bank
ing resources have increased by
$500. .OOO, 600. In the cotton indus
tries alone $l5O,OOO,0OO IS invested,
and the value of agricultural prod
ucts has increased since 1880 by
more than $500, 100000. These are
big figures, but they are verified by
facts, and this is but the opening
chapter in a volume OF industrial
history. Efforts are being made on a
broad and liberal scale to promote i'm
migration and enterprise. AS side
light on this movement bureau of
immigration win devote the next
three years to the development and
settlement of the country south of
central Missouri and west Of the
Mississippi river. 1t Is In this Sec
tIon that there Is most activity In
the projection of new lines OF rail-
road land there are more surveying
parties IN the field in Texas, Okla
homa and the surrounding country
than there is in the rest of the
United States. This is but an illns-
tratlon of what is being done in the
building up of an empire of trade in
the south and southwest. We are
going the right way to work in this
matter, and success will follow as
sure as a moon travels with the
planet around which it revolves.-

pianos by the million. It's notes
have usually selected the flute as
the means for their escape into the
atmosphere, but in the halls Of
vaudeville they have been played
upon muscaI glasses, sleigh bells,
cow bells, xyiophones, saxophones,
tin cans, anvils, railroad spikes and
all the other instruments known to
vaudeville alone. Mr.. Winner is
dead, but his songs go marching on.
He also wrote what is Home
Without a mother" and "Shail We
Gather at the River?'-Baltlmore

He Wrote "The Mocking Bird.

Septimus Winner is dead. Septi-
mus Winner wrote more songs and
more instrumental music and
adapted his music to more kinds of
instruments, 1t is said, than any
other man in the world. His COM
positions filled 200 books ofjmusic for
twenty-three different instruments,
and he made more than 1900 ar
range ments for piano and violin.
Septimus Winner had other claims
to fame. When Generol Mcclellan
was recalled from the army of the
Potomac, Winner wrote a song en-
titled Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander," which grew so popular
that Secretary Stanton waxed wroth,
ordered it suppressed and had Win
ner thrown into prison. Despite
these facts, probably not one person
in a hundred thousand of the present
generation knew Mr.. Winners
name, and they will note his passing
only because of one fact. He wrote
Listen to the Mocklng Bird" That
nImble and contagious melody has
been sung in more parlors and
played at more Sunday school en-
tertaInments than any other piece of
music ever written. 1t has been
ground out of street organs and

SUGAR CANE PRODUCTION.

4
The Southern Pacific will spend
hundred thousand dollars towards de-
veloping the rice culture in Louisiana
and Texas. 1t is noticed that several
roads are developing the country
through which they Fun, the, Illinois
Central being one of them, and they
are engaged in noble work We
hope and expect to see the day when
the Mobile, Jackson and Knasas City
and Gulf and Ship Island railroads
will open mp their respective terrific
ries- TO northern and western immi-
grafton and that every acre of tillable
land will be put in high state of
cultivation. While the Illinois Gen.
trail is developing the early vegetable
industry in this state along its line
and the Southern Pacific the cultiva.
tion of rice on large scale, the roada
in south Mississippi should encourage
and promote the sugar cane industry,
the lands here for the production of
which is said to be the finest on
earth. The Gulf and Ship Island
has taken up the matter on small
scale and facts and figures are now
being gathered, but the surest plan is
to test the matter by establishing su-
| gar cane fields and show TO the world
the adaptability of these lands to that
particular farm product. and it is be.
lieved that the Gulf and Ship Island
will finally do this.
In an individual way and without
any desire to boasting this product
has been thoroughly tested and result
has been eminently satisfactory.
One farmer this season cleared eighty
dollars off ,ss than an acre planted in
cap5 ard did not pse q pound of fertil-
izeT. Others report the same result.
And the lands were not especially Sc
lected.
There are fortunes i'll Perry county
in the raising of cane and the making
of molasses and the industry is grad
ually and rapidly growing every year,
A few years ago scarcely Il jug of
molasses was brought to the city for
sale. Now thousansds of sealed jugs
are brought TO this market where
they find a ready sale at fifty cents per
gallon for the mOlasses, the people
here prefering it 10 any other. But
the industry is i'll a crude state yet.
Our people do not know yet how to
make the molasses-that is make
good article that will remian good.
OF course it is absolutely pure, there
being no adulteratiOn about it, like
the most of molasses we get from
distance, but they do not seem to un-
! derstand the modus operandi of boil
ing rhe syrup so that the molasses
will not sour or turn to sugar, and
this is the reason why we contend
that the industry should be given 81
more thorough test and the goods
made up by men who understand the
business better.
The railroads in the southern part
Of the state have lands for which they
have no erathly use and which Is
I highly adapted to the production of
4 cane. If they would locate farmers
4 on them who understand the produc-
tion of cane the test would soon be
made and it would be seen that we
u have the finest section in the south for
raising sugar and mOlasses.

SoIidifying the South.

Without crIticising his inclination
to appoint negroes to profitable
places, the question may fairly be
raised If 1t is even morally right to
offend the entire social organization
of a great section OF the country. In
the south there is no division of the
white race on the issue of what
should be the negro's civic status.

Wellsville plant of the American Sheet
Steel company. was indicted on the

out on a STRIFE last summer in order
to join the Analgamated association,
When the strike was settled. he was
taken back in the mill and was given
q jOb of rolling A few weeks ago. it
is alleged. Manager Brookman called
him into his office and asked him for
his union card" Shaffer refused to
give it up, and few days thereafter
he was discharged. The Amalgamated
association took up Skaters case, with
the above result.
The case is one of unusual interest
and will be bitterly contested. Judge
