SOUTH is a HIVE OF INDUSTRY

The growth of the South is
something wonderful. Never be-
fore was it such a hive of industry,
endeavoc and achievement. There
is no boom, such as dethroned the
judgement of so many in the
eighties and left bitter experience
and memories, but soldier, surer
growth on a more rational and en-
during basis. In all lines of in
dustry there is substantial growth.
Items like the following from the
report of the Southern Railway
can be duplicated by other lines.
Along the lines of the Southern
Railway Company during the year
ending June 80, 1905, there were
completed and put in operation 46
textile mills, 81 furniture factories,
80 iron industries, 6 tanneries, n
stone quarries and coal mines, 13
cottonseed oil plants, s fertilizer
works, and more than 500 smaller
industries.
| Over $50 previously existing
plants were enlarged during the
year and "a new industries were
under construction at the close of
the year.
The Southern system contains
about 1000 miles of road. There
are more than $4,000 miles of rail
way in the South, and on nearly
all these lines there has been SINH
lar industrial growth. The last
five years have shown a growth
development and industrial and
commercial progress in the South
such as was only vaguely dreamed
of few years ago. The extent OF
it is not fully realized, but is ac-
cepted as a matter of course.
Distance of time or space lends
enchantment to many things.
In some instances it mellows and
magnifes, in others it minifes and
| in others it idealizes. We think OF
the things that have been, of things
that are to be, of things afar off,
while not fully realizing what is
being done now and near us. We
are living in a mighty and wonder
full age. It's progress is so rapid,
its performances so varied and its
achievements so vast we find it
difficult to grasp or measure them,
or to realize their full extent and
significance.
