several American universities. includ.

the Porte for permission to excavate.
Refusal was made by the Sultan
owing. it is said, to the religious asso-
Citations of the so-called tomb OF
Abraham, many OF the Mohammedans
believing that the mountain, which is
the place mentioned as Cuthal In
Second Kings in the Bible, is really
the site of the burying place of Abra-
ham. In addition to the question Of
offending the religious beliefs of the
natives of the country, 1t is said that
while Mr.. Banks was consul at the
City of Bagdad he incurred the dis
pleasure of the Porte.
1t was declared at the university
that it is problematical whether
Banks will ever secure permission to
excavate in any part of the Ottoman
Empire. although the Sultan has al
ways been cordial toward exploring
expeditions, especially those from
America, and at present a party Of
German scientists are at work not
far from where Banks desired to ex.

Rapid Progress Being
Made by the South

The progress of the south during
recent years Is one OF the wonders of
the age. Between 1880 and 1900 the
population Of the south increased
from 1896. $50 to 23.548. .404 or A per
cent. but in the same period southern
agricultural. manufactured and min
erat products increased in value from
81 .134 .5s6. .229 to ,s44.646.440. or 157
per cent. Farm values grew from
81. go 1854. 1921 to $3.951. .631 ,632. Farm
ing is improving. as is shown by the
fact that, while the acreage in wheat
increased in the two decades but IL
per cent. the crop increased 50 per
cent. The average per acre is nearly
two bushels higher than the average
for the whole country. The corn, hay
and oct crops about doubled. and
the cotton output increased over 80
per cent. The value of the crop of
cotton in 1900, seed included, was
$3.50 ,0O0. 900. The rice and sugar crops
much more than doubled, and the
product of southern tobacco is 10 per
cent Of that Of the entire Union. The
rural population is accordingly fairly
prosperous, and its gain in numbers
between 1890 ind 1900 was much
larger than that Of all the rest Of the
United States.
1880 there were 161 cotton factor
