ket value of this years cotton crop,

cate Of farmers reaped a fortune in
those terrific FIVE NOTWITHSTANDING
ed by some authorities to be as
much as $4,000, 200. Hoadley's
personal profits for the five min.
utes was estimated BY close per.
sonal friend at more than 81, ,OOO,-
600.
Theodore H. Price lost millions

The South's Increased
Wealth.

So far as the mere question OF
material prosperity Is concerned
the South enjoys an astonishlngly
larger measure of 1t to-day than IT
did forty-ive years ago, in spite OF
our habit to refer to and rejoice
in the memories of ssthe good times
before the war;" Not only ls the
South's prosperity much greater
now, but it is much more general
than in 1860. The Macon Tele-
graph remarks that IN those days
the heads of slave owning families
in the Southern States numbered
about 400, 900, but comparatively
few of them would now be called
, rich. The "majorlty lived the SIM
pie lives OF country gentlemen and
farmers, using up nearly all their
| capital in feeding and clothing their
slaves and providing additional ad-
vantages for their families. !"
The wealthy Southern planter
l lived like prince, and not caring
for money for its own sake, d'd
not accumulate it, but spent 1t
freely in keeping an open and hos
pltable house for the entertainment
of congenial company. Forty hve
years ago the country's million
aires could have been counted on
the fingers of one hand. but to day
there are many thousands OF them
| In spite of the fact that the South
was pros,rated for long period by
terrible war, the enormous gain
she has made in material prosperity
since 1860 as the result of the de.
velopment of her resources Is strlk.
