YOUNG MEN IN THE SOUTH.
The Young Man Fast Coming to the
Front in Matters of Business in
the South


the South.
The south has come into its own
again. few years ago we We're say
ing that the southerner was not and
never could be a business man. Ever
since the civil war the business of the
south has been carried on by the
Yankees, Jews and scattering Scots
and English. The Jews, always ert
in business, have been in the major
ity in the retail trade, and with the
Germans and Yankees have controIl-
ed the wholesale business, the finan-
cial institutions and the manufacture
les. By fallacy which time is dis
proving, the failure of the native
southerner to achieve business was
set down to inherent lack of capacity.
His failure was really due to causes
eXtrinsic and accidental.
At the close of the civil war only
the few Jewish residents of the south
had much money. The southern SOL
der was not discharged when sent
home to convalesce from wounds and
disease. Upon recovery, he was
again in the ranks He did not serve
three months, nine months, two years.
He served four years. The larger
part of the men who fought in the
southern army carried lead or disease
ever after II was this impoverished,
discouraged people whom the outsider
distanced in the race for money. Tn
used TO commerce. the southerner not
only saw the property represented by
his slaves pass utterly away, and his
lands ravaged and his houses burned,
but he saw men alien to his region
anticipate him in the dawning oppor-
tunities of a tardily returning pros
perity. He became an onlooker in
the land his blood had watered.
Others garnered as result of his i'm
pOverishment-
But not so now. For the young
southerner is forging to the front so
fast that it now is more likely that
he will crowd the strangers out than
that they will seriously rival him.
He has taken leaf out of the book
of his rivals, and by the tactics which
has been at least as great a factor in
their success as any other is arriving
at prosperity. The southern tandem
wedge is boring holes in the lines of
the opposition. The young southern
men, often mere boys OF y and p,
are running the banks, the stores, the
hotels. They are exploiting great
tracts OF lands, feeding vast forests
into the sawmius. They are the
railroad men, the promoter, the
brokers. Oil wells gush at their be-
hest, towns rise at their command.
BY men under so the greater part OF
the business of the south Is now be-
ing done. The northerner who thinks
of emigrating 20 the south because
he believes he can surpass the natives
in business capacity, viii find foemen
worthy of their steel-keen, untiring
and full Of the nerve and enthusiasm
of youth. The south is the new part,
the young part of our domain. The
west has become staid and middle
aged. The young man has come to
the frOrt in the south, and with him
the south comes into its own once
more.-Leslie's Weekly.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Get State Lands Cheap.

Governor Stokes met with the State
Riparian Commissioners, in Trenton,
and suggested a resolution requesting
the Attorney General to examine all
Legislative grants of lands under water
and report on them to the board. The
resolution was adopted. The impress
sion prevailed thaA many of the grant
ers of riparian lands have exceeded
their rights and are using public lands
to which they are not entitled. 1t
was believed that the State had thus
been deprived of a rightful equity in
these lands amounting to several hun
dred thousand dollars. Two leases
held by the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railroad and the New
York, Lake Erie and Western Docks
and Improvement Company were con-
verted into grants. The aggregate Of
the grants is 100000. A grant Of 700
feet along the Delaware River at Cam
den was made to Peter Hogan K Co.
at So a foot. The question of granting
rights to shoals in Barnegat Bay, in
cluding the right for the grantee to
erect islands for geunning purposes.
was discussed. The board decided
that, since the proposition involved the
protection of fish and game, it could
not be determined without giving the
Fish and Game Commissioners an OPP
portunity to be heard.

Famine n I Tndia.

Famines in India are not due alto.
gether to failure Of the crop in the
famine regions. The country is in
hahited by race of agriculturists who
seem to be unable to save anything,
writs the Rev, ]. e. Scott, in his book,
'In Famine Land Frugality ana
thrift are to them almost unknown.
They have no power to plan for the
future If nature is propitious, they
get living; if the crop fails. they
fail with it.
In Rajputana, at the time Of famine,
grain poured in from the Northwest
Provinces and elsewhere in sNch quan-
titles that railway companies and the
merchants realized large profits, and
wheat was on sale at reasonable
price; but as the roor peasant has no
money, he must s.arve to death with
food at his door.
At many of the railway stations Mr..
Scott saw thousands of fat pigeons
gorging themselves with grain from
the loaded wagons "a tAe siding. while
apathetic native officials stood by aud
saw the precious food devoured in
the sight Of scores Of miserable, fam
inc stricken villagers who cried aloud
for food. SO tame had the pigeons be-
come that Mr.. Scott had no difficulty
in catching one. but he was immedi-
