PROSPERITY OF THE SOUTH

According to figures gathered by
The Manufacturers Record the South
seems to be getting It's share of pros.
pcrity. The statistics have to do
with the assessed valuation in the
states South OF the Mason and Dixon
line. In Alabama the assessed val
nation for 1906 was $29,244,24l
greater than the assessed valuation
Tor 1905. and Alabama may be taken
as n good example of the New South.
Misslthippi Is not regarded as II par
ti:n'arly "hustling" state yet the in.
crease OF assessed valuation in that
commonwealth since 1902 has been
$3OoOO,OO0. And so the story runs,
making an increase in value. us as.
scssed. for tho fourteen states. I'm
the past twelve months alone,
amounting to tho vast sum of $3.50
100000.
H. appears from the figures of the
Record that the entire taxable prop
crty of the South lis now assessed at
about $7,10O.O0O,O0O. In the South
the assessed value Is generally taken
to he 40 per cent. of tho actual value.
Figuring ON this basis the South has
now taxable wealth to the amount
of about $4,000 100000; or $4,000
100000 more than the entire United
States at tho outbreak of the civil
war.

the fatal error Of the Franco Prussian

"The Queen of Sicily"

Syracuse calls itself the capital of the
south. but it has no cause to dispute
pride Of place with Palermo The met
ropolitan city is superior in popula-
ton, wealth and much else, but it is de-
ficient in what its ancient and glorious
rival has in such abundance. For SYRIA
cuse has the supreme charm of Greece
in way that no other city except Ath-
ems has. Not even in Corinth, nowhere
in Hellas from Messana or Sparta in
the south to Thebes in the north, is
there any Hellenic town to compare
with "the queen of Sicily" AS a sane
tuary, Delphi is far more impressive
than anything in Sicily, as a national
meeting place Olympia has no rival,
but nowhere except at Athens is
Greek city to be seen today which has
the proud record of the marvellous me-
tropolis of the Sicilian Greeks, a city
as great in power and wealth and
beauty as Athena herself, and victor
at last in the long and fatal rivalry
which indirectly involved the passing
OF the Hellenistic dominion of all the
lands washed by the Ionian and Med
1terranean seas.-Century.

Hank White Gave the Tip.

Hank White, the minstrel, lived in
Reading, Vt, for many years. He was
very fond Of horse races, and rarely
missed any Of the meetings in Windsor
or Rutland county. Once he attended
a breeders meeting at Rutland. The
breeders meetings were famous and
attracted people from New York, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire and all
over Vermont. On this particular day
Hank was seated in the grand stand,
one Of 5000 people.
"Hod" Fish Ira, a we'll known char
acter, was driving his horse Belvidere,
a very large bay horse, with not too
much speed, but the owner had an idea
that he was wonder 1t was in the
free for all race. All the horses except
Belvidere had passed the grand stand
almost neck and neck on the first half.
1t was a beautiful race. Trailing be-
hind about twenty rods came Belvi-
dere, the driver urging him on to bet
ter efforts, and when he was in front
of the grand stand Hank stood up and
yelled at the top Of his voice: Take the
first turn to the left, Hold: all the 9TH
ers have gone that way" Hold drove
Belvidere to the barn.-Boston Herald.
