SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT.
What is Needed in That DirectiO'

What is Needed in That Direction. Raleigh (N. O Correspondence New
 York Sun.
 Admitting the enormous development Of tbe states of the South during the last t,yentv-five years. there must also be ad- ,,,,ttn5 inc fact that even that which has heen attained is no more than ,,ooaero fraction of the possibilities of the sactfor The limitation of economic ad- yoncement in any land may be attributed h-oadI,, to one. two or all of three in- a,,orces. a lack of capital. a shortage of iab,r. and a lack of energy. To all of these in varying degree. the llmitcSon of So,,tba~n development may be charged.
 The lack of sufficient capital is partly actual and partly imaginary. More osnitat in combination with a more ,h,ndant labor supply, would endlessly; ,.,,,aosa nroduction in our Southern areas. To no other section of the United States to., n,tmre been more lavish with her ,,tFts of soil and climate. In no other saotion ;s there today so wide an oppor- t',,tt,, for profitable investment on either ,.o o. smar scale. Capital judiciously ia,,ostod and intelligently handled, will nl',.,art Southern soil and climate into .ronoro,,s banking accounts. But this lack et canjtaI is partly imaginary. The Sa,,th has capital, not, perhaps, as the Syo.t, has if. or as the West has it. in t,oI r..I.o o communications for investment in ,i' lus of millions But all census re- ..,ns all statistics, all results of careful oI,sar,,ation clearly demonstrate the fact tbat tb4 South has vastly increased it's zaneraI capital account during the last quarter of century,

 The newest fabrics and latest millin- cry are also illustrated. and the novel; ties and fancies in trimmings and access sories pictured. The Evolution of a Clubwoman, a sc tory. by Agnes Sur bridge, which begins in this number. treats a fundamental question of the feminine world-the woman's club-and promises to be extremely interesting. It is an autobiography-a story of fact, but more interesting than fiction. Also in this number appears the first of re- markable series of photographic articles, in which J. C.. Hemment. the well-known photographer, relates his adventures with the camera at home and in foreign lands. His war experiences. which con- stitute the first paper. are thrilling, and his IArsonal recollections of the stirring events in which he took part are ab- sorbingly interesting. as well as of his torical value.

Appeared in Court and Fined the
 Same a3 Her Assailant.

At 3 o'clock Sunday morning a negro woman reported to police headquarters that her sister, Ellen Robertson, had been beaten to death by a negro. Handy Can telou, alias Handy Canteloupe. The trouble occurred in West End and the informant said that when she left the scene of battle Ellen was lying on the ground either dead or mortally wounded.
 But the report was erroneous, for Ellen was able ~fo appear before Recorder A. H. Arlington yesterday afternoon. She received as sentence of sixteen days and Handy Cantelou, who was said to have murdered her, received the sane sentence. The charges against the negroes were dis orderly conduct and fighting.

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader
says the first reports of damage
to corn by last weeks frost have
been modified or altogether
denied by later reports. There
was some damage in low places
to very late corn, but it is a
singular TACT that nothing like
the damage expected occurred.
When people saw the white frost
OF Wednesday morning, it was
very natural TO expect damage
but the cloudy weather and rain
must have acted as a counter
irritant, because it is seen by
actual examination that CON-
paratively little damage was
done. A great deal OF the corn
was out OF the way, and in many
places the husk and weather con-
ditions seemed to protect the
later corn. This is very crafty |
i9a, as the later warm weather |
has ripened South Dakota's I
largest and best crop OF corn. I
The raising of corn is more valu- !
able To a country than wheat. |
1t insures stability, induces mix. !
ed farming, stock raising and
daring, the things which exper-
fences tells MS makes a country |
pros porous and land valuable.
