was nearly $500. 100000 u year; last
year it exceeded l3, 900, 900 bales with
a valuation of 1928, 600, 900.

AN EXCELLENT FINANCIAL
REVIEW OF, THE SOUTH
Festus J. Wade, of St. Louis, at the Ten
nessee Bankers Association Expati=
ates Upon It's Banks, Its Manufac-
tories, Its Agriculture, Etc.

Such statistics as are available since
1900 prove cOncluSively that this rate
OF increase is even larger i'm the past
five years than in the last decade, and
that the manufacturing products of
the South in 1906 will aggregate more
than 81, 900, 100000.
If you will simply add the increased
value OF the products of manufacture
ing establishments of the Southern
States year by year since 1890, you
will lind that such increase in value
is considerably more than One-half the
entire stock Of money in the world.
That may seem an astonishing state
ment, but it is easily proven. When
| say the entire stock of money of the
world, | mean its entire $4,000, ,O0O,-
600 OF gold, silver and paper, with
silver and paper taken at its face
value.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.
For many years we have been ac-
cuStOmed to look upon the South as
fairly we'll developed agriculturally,
but diversity has been introduced in
the past two decades, bringing with
it increased value of farm property
and farm products.
The value OF farm property in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas increased S706, 900, 900 in 1900
over 1890, while the valuation of
farm property in 1890 was 81, 347 ,OOO,- :
600 more than it was in 1880.
The South is no longer a one-crOp
section; it raises hogs and hominy,
with cotton, and the livestock pro-
ducts Of the Southern States | have
mentioned increased $142, 900, 900 in
1900 over 1890. The poultry now
raised exceeds more than $25, 900, 900
annually. and the egg product sells
for an amount exceeding $40, 900, 900
annually.
These states have over $4,000, 900
chickens, 100000 turkeys, $500, 900
geese ard 81, 800, 900 ducks.
These Southern States annually pro-
duce more than 100000 pounds of
butter, !and the ts.al value of their
animal product is now S25, 900, 900 a
year. The total value of all their
farm products annually is over $780,
10000 which exceeds that of any
other section of the United States ex-
cept the North Central Division. COM

states from the Ohio to the DakOtaS.

All the world knows the South on
account of the beauty of the women,
the chivalry and courage of the men.
All the world knows the South, where
His Majesty king Cotton" reignS.
All the people of the United States
know OF the Solid South, and they all
know OF the New South as proclaimed
by that wonderful Southern orator,
Henry w. Grady, when he opened the
eyes OF the North to his New South
I'm his last great address delivered in
Boston seventeen years ago, when he
proclaimed that the New South that
year had a crop of 1900, 600 bales Of
cotton worth $3.50, 900, 900, and it's
equivalent in other products of the
farm and factory.
, Few indeed know of the independ-
ence of the South today. 1t is inde-
pendent in its agricultural resources,
: manufacturing industries, commercial
establishments and financial inStitu-
tiOnS.
I FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
Take, for instance, the resources of
its banks and trust companies. We
| find that the percentage of increase
between the years 1896 and 1905 is
the largest of any section of the Uni
ted States, not even excepting the
Western States, where we think we
are growing at an astonishing rate.
1t will be found from the reports Of
the comptroller of the currency that
the percentage of increase in deposits
Of banks and trust companies of the
Southern States is 246 per cent with
in the time mentioned.
The percentage Of increase in de.
pOSitS OF financial institutions in the
Eastern States during the period
named was about One-half what it was
in the South.
a United States senator, some fif-
teen years ago, made the forceful OBJ
ServatiOn that if One-half buShel OF
tive-dollar gold pieces were emptied in
the soil anywhere west of the Missouri
river or south of the Ohio river. every
one would be rolling toward New
York before Sundown.
The banks and trust companies of
the entire United States had in indi-
vidual deposits s6,4OO, 900, 900 more
i'm 1905 than in 1896. OF that in
crease more than One-third was in the
South and West.

dollar gold pieces are not rolling to-
wards New York City, as the follow

is irpelIed to offer two handsome
diamond rings to be voted to the IA

and tokens Of esteem, and who re-
ceive the largest number Of votes.
In addition to these a fine diamond

FROM MARS

"a Message From Mars is the
story of Horace Parker upon whom
fortune has bestowed some of the
most substantial blessings Of life in
the shape of youth, health, wealth,
Ia pleasing exterior, charming
sweetheart, but he is beset by two
by no means uncommon vices, in
effable self-conceit, and most abom-
Unable selfshness. At the opening
of the play his utter Indifference to
lanybody's happiness or comfort
save his own, nearly costs him the
love of his betrother, who is a per-
feet miracle of sweetness and pa

messenger first reduces him TO COM

electric currents, then takes him
around Town, shows him the com
tempt in which he is held by his
acquaintance; tries TO awaken his
compassion by exhibitions of human
misery which he compels him to re-
lieye and finally, all milder meas
Iures failing to arouse his conscience
