KING GEORGE.
Harmony Among the Democrats
Mr.. J n. eosss Withdrsws His

Wf' m oo9es WitnorsWs MS
Contest.
Comorn, Va. Oct. %, 1908.
Recent developments have given the
political campaign In King George "a new
phase. MIR. j. c. Ninde, who IL regarded
as the head or leader Of ticket that wa,
defeated at the Democratic primary elec
ton on the 10th instant, has issued u
card appealing to his friends TO support
Mr.. j. t. Minor, Jr., the nominee, for
treasurer
This action of Mr. Ninde's il very sig
nihcant, disposes of the question of II
probable factional fight in the Dem ocratic
party, and practically insures party
harmony and the election OF the ticket
IL looks now as II there ia no ground
upon which to base fears or prediction,
OF party friction or factions.
Another interesting feature OF the cam
paign is Mr.. James ii Boggs' withdraw
al oihis contest OF the primary vote al
Shiloh precinct, and his determination
to support MIR. j A, Pullen, his success
ful opponent, for Commissioner OF the
Revenue. IL will be remembered that
Mr. Boggs and MIR. Pullen were candl
dates Tor the office of Commissioner, and
that, at the primary election
Mr. Boggs received a majority of all th,
precincts in the county except Shiloh
and that he filed notice OF contest on the
ground Of reported irregularities at that
precinct. Mr.. Boggs' course, in with
drawing the contest. has been highly
commended by many OF his warm iriend'
since his action became known today.

Miss Hill, a director OF physical
culture in one OF the large women
colleges OF this country, is endeavor-
ing TO reform many practices fallen
into by some Of those who are en-
gagged In that business and which
Miss Hill thinks are not elevating TO
females. She objects to basket ball,
and emphasizes the evil effects OF
these violent games and says that
competitive play, travelling about,
appearing before mixed audiences
and the cultivating OF a win-at-any-
cost spirit do not operate for the de-
velopment of womanly character.

THE UTHsINDUsTRIALG GROWTH

Mr.. Sameul Spencer, President OF
the Southern Railway Company, pub
hshes In the Atlanta Constitution n
statement in reference TO the indus
trial growth OF the South which Is
very encouraging both to producers
and to the carrying interest. Mr..
Spencer says that while the develop
ment for she year ending the Both
day OF June, 1902, was quite UMPIRE
cedented, the last year exceeded it
by seventeen per cent. in the capital
invested in traffic producing indus
tries on the Southern Railway System
proper. and is is reasonable to pre-
sumo that is was true along other
railroad lines. In the year previous,
says Mr.. Spencer, such investments
we're generally of the character OF
new enterprises, involving the pur-
chase OF franchises and the erection
OF factory buildings, while during
the last year investments were more
strictly in mine, factory and mill
equipment designed to increase the
capacity OF output. Investments OF
this character along the Southern
Railway were very much greater last
year than the year previous, which
implies heavier tax upon thecapae-
isy of the railroad to move traffic.
During last year heincreasedinves
ment In coal mines. iron mines, lum-
Der mills, wood working plants and
other closely related interests, which
are the producers OF the largest ton
age. was even more marked than in
other classes ofindustrial enterprises.
This gives an indication Of the traf-
&c requirements upon the railroads,
10 addition to the usual crop move
ments, and, EN- phasizes the impor-
tance OF the fullest cooperation OF
all interests in every way possible to
relieve a possible transportation
congestion. This congestion is not
limited to the South. 1t is more or
less general throughout the country
but in the South, where the indus
trial awakening has been relatively
the greatest in a short space OF time,
the situation has been more difficult
TO forecast and to reasonably pro-
vide for than in other sections where
industrial changes have been more
gradual.

1t has been claimed that the colored
laborer was indispensable to success
full cotton culture, but that has been
proved q iallacy, jus. as it was that
cotton was king. For the past sew

OF colored labor, and whites have
taken the places OF the colored, 1t is
said, with decided improvement. The
