THE PROGRESS OF the SOUTH.

The south, aided by northern capital
and enterprise. Is making great stride

Virginia. Georgia and Alabama, with
an aggregate population of over TO-
100000. there have been remarkable add

census year Capital from American
| financial centers has been poured into
this favored section for the develop
ment of new manufacturing and min
ing industries. Water power turnout
the region has been harnessed; rail-
road systems extended and perfected,
and a large supply of labor attracted
to thriving industrial centers.
Last year the new south made 81
100000 tons of pig iron, and mined
100000 tons of coal. Lumber pro-

south has $1,000 0ooo 600 invested in all
branches of manufacturing industry,
with an annual output of s1,600,000 600.

But all fortunes are not made In GIN
seng. Four years ago farmer in
Vienna township gave T.-R man two
hens, of an approved breed, worth 4
dollar piece. He failed to take them
away, but remembered them the other
day and made up his account against
the farmer An average hen should
produce at least 240 eggs annually. Al
least 200 of these should hatch and OF
the output 100 at least should be pull

i 500 600 eggs were due and - but
when we got so far along with the cal

half the pullets for himself. But any
one who chooses to carry out the fig
