SOUTHERN PRosPERn Y

If Horace Greeley were living to-
day he would be apt to change his
noted exhortatiCn to "Go South,
young man and grow up with the
country" Certainly the South is
a very rapidly growing section of
the country, and in the extent and
variety of it's new industries makes
striking showing. During the
year 1905 the new enterprises re-
ported were in number CLIO,
which is an advance of 574 over
the previous year, or about IL per
cent. The greatest number is re-
ported from Texas, 901; Tennessee
comes next, with COL; then Okla
homa, with 575, and North Caro-
lima, with 545. Woodworking
plants are most numerous, 1857;
mines and quarries next, 519, and
electric plants next, 500. For the
week ended Jan. "a The Trades
man reports 1877 new establish
ments with an estimated capitali-
zation of over $40, 900, 900. Inter
esting as are these figures, it re-
mains true that they are insignifi-
cant as compared with the unde-
veloped resources of the South. In
everything needful to the progress
of an industrial people this region
abound, in food products, in textile
ibres, in metals, in wood in fuel,
IN water powers convertible into
electric power, in all the elements
of sustenance, clothing, shelter,
and the means of manufacture it
isrich beyond all definite estimate.
1t is making rapid and steady and,
we believe, solid progress toward
a splendid future.

SOME LEGISLATION is CERTAIN

There will certainly be some kind
of rate legislation by Congress at
the present session. The railroads
want the agitation settled and it
is to their interest and the coun-
try's, to have it over with. The
indications are that some measure
satisfactory to the conservative
people of the country will be pass
ed. 1t may not be what the rail
roads want, but if it leaves them
the right of appeal to the courts
for review of questions of fact and
law, they can probably stand it.
Any delegation of power by
Congress to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make and
enforce rates will not be unmixed
blessing for the shippers. Many
of them think so, but they will be
sadly disappointed.
Suppose Congress gives the Inter
state Commerce Commission power
to name rates, one of the first
orders will reduce rates from the
Ohio river into the South. What
will be the result?
Why, manufacturers north of
the river will flood this territory
with their goods to the great loss
of Southern manufacturers. The
latter may do business in small
section, but they will not be able
to compete with their more pow
erful rivals in the North. The
railroads are trying to build up
manufactures in the South, but
government-made rates will help
all the local jobbers rand foreign
mail order houses far more than
they will beneftour manufacturers
And the South needs more manu-
featuring industries to work up
our raw material.
Our section is more prosperous
now than it ever was in it's history.
The people have some money to
invest in home Industrial plants
which will thrive under present
conditions, But increase their
competition and they will have
long hard struggle to become es-
tablished.

PANAMA HAS $5oU,ooo FIRE.
Several Americans Who Roomed In
the BuiIdinu Reported MISSING,

Panama, Feb. 1.-5:30 a. m-Short-
ly after 2 o'clock Thursday morning
a lire started in a four story wooden
house, known as the Concordia, in the
Carrera district.
AT 2:30 a. m. an adjoining three
story building was ablaze and a whole
block composed of wooden houses, was
threatened with destruction.
The firemen for some time were I'M
able to successfully fight the flames
because of the lack of water, and a
large block of houses between Consti-
tucion, Delgo and Caddas streets were
destroyed
At $3.50 the fire was under control.
The losses are estimated at $500, 900
with very little insurance Many wo-
men and children living in the tene-
ments were rescued by the volunteer
fremen.
No lives are known to have been
lost, but some Americans who roomed
in the Concordia building, are report
ed to be missing.

Mrs. Clark, who recently lost a
diamond bracelet at the Kirmess
ball in Chicago, says she never ex-
poets to get it back if any fashion
able woman found it. She says:
GA poor but honest man would re-
turn the bracelet to get the reward
offered, and one of the middle class
would return it as a matter of
principle, but enc of the so called
grande danes would pot be actua-
ted either by the spirit of innate
honesty or the desire for a re
ward. - This is rather rough on
the society women, hut Mrs. Clark
ought TO know.

NATIVE WOMAN CLAIMS TO HAVE
BEEN CHEATED OUT OF HER
LANDS.

That her daughter and the latter's
husband deliberately defrauded her of
all her lands by betrayng her into
signing them away, by false represen-
tations, is the charge made by Mrs.
Honuaiwa Kaopua, in a suit filed by
Kinney, McClanahan and Derby and
w. S. Edings against Kemelea Holt
and her husband, George II. Holt Mrs.
KaOpua says that she was deceived into
signing a deed conveying all her Ha-
malIua lands, consisting of 30 acres
under the impression that she was
merely assigning her dover rights in
other lands
Mrs. Kaopua is the widow of one J.
W. r. Kaopua. Her complaint sets
forth that Mrs. Holt is her daughter
and that last February the plaintiff
came from her Hawaii home to live
with the daughter in Honolulu. While
thus visiting the mother consented to
rclnquish her dover rights i'm Hawaii
lands, in favor Of her daughter and in
due time a document was presented
to her for signature, to carry out the
generous purpose. Mrs. Kaopua charges
that there was fraudulently inserted in
this document a conveyance of a fee
! simple title to all her lands in Hama
! kua. In consideration of her love
and affection for her daughter, she says
she signed the supposed assignment of
| dover, only to discover later on that
she had been taken advantage of and
betrayed by reason of her confidence
in the affection and veracity of the
young woman and her husband
The plaintiff charges that by the acts
in question she has been robbed of
| her lands. She asks that the defend
ants, Mr.. and Mrs. Holt, be required
| to deed the property back to her and
! to come into court and state whether
or not they have placed any incum-
| brances on it.
Judge Robinson signed a temporary
! injunction restraining the defendants

posing of the property, pending set
