THE SOUTH'S PROSPERITY.

During 1906 the wealth of the south incerased $7,300.000 for every day of the year, Sundays included, or a total of $2,69O,O00,000. The actual increase in assessed value was Sl,- 06,479.7SS, and this was on the av- craze 40 per cent. of the true value. The amazing magnitude of this gain of 7,300,000 day is strikingly shown by the statement of the London EX- press, which, bemoaning the inability orf Great Britain to keep pace with Americas growth puts the increase in Great Britain's wealth at $7,O0O- 900 week. Writing in the Atlanta constitution Mir. Richard E. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record, says contrast the south's increase of $7,300.0o0 a day with Great Britan's S7,OO0 ,000 a week and then think of the future.
 Great Britain, with comparatively few natural resources, dependent upon the outside world for nearly all it's foodstuffs, for much of it's iron ore, for all of it's cotton and a large part of it's lumber, and with only 10000 square miles of coal, of which a large portion has been worked out, has 40,- 000,000 people crowded into an area equal to that of less than half of Texas.
 On the other hand, look at the south with the worlds cotton trade in it's absolute domination, with 62,- 900 square miles of virgin coal fields, with iron ore sufficient to duplicate for Years to come the whole iron and steel trade of all Europe, with almost limitless soil capabilities already pro3 ducing over S00,000,00O bushels of grain year and several hundred mill lion dollars worth of diversified farm products, able to produce food Stuffs for hundreds of millions, able to clothe the world. able to do more manufacturing than that of the whole country today, with millions of avail- able water power, 500,000 horse power for electrical transmission be- ing already under developments, and when you have catalogued these you have mentioned only few of tho south's strong points. {
 Who can measure the limitless pos abilities of the south? Who can full ly grasp the fact that the south Is rapdly pushing forward to the time when it's own wealth will exceed all of the vast wealth accumulated by Great Britain through the ages, and by which it dominates the finances of the world? Surely the vision is one to stir every southern heart, for it is, indeed, reality.
 The growth in wealth during the coming year will far exceed the won derful story of 1906.
 Unto whom much has been given, of him shall much be required" is as true as when first uttered. The south's responsibility is as vast as are

RECEIVES $29,24O,OOO CHECK.
United states Treasurer VIII sell
Paper for 81 ia Real Money.

A check for $29.2f0o00, payable TO the
Treasurer Of the United States. was re
ceiyed by Acting Secretary Of the Treas
ury Reynolds yesterday, in payment of
the fine assessed against the Standard Oil
Company by Judge Lands. on the Federal
bench in Chicago.
Mr.. Reynolds, however. did not cash the
check. although it was signed by the
Standard oil Company. and told the
newspaper men To whom he showed the
document he would part with It for a real
dollar.
The trouble with the check was that It
was signed STANDARD on Company. per
J. d. Rockenfeuer," thereby demonstrat-
ing 20 the recipient of the document the
fact that some one in Toledo, Ohio, was
trying 20 have fun with the officials of
the Treasury Department The check
was drawn on the Second National Bank
of Toledo. and dated August S. There Was
not enough room on the second line 70
write out the figures, so the line had been
carried around the edge OF the paper
thereby indicating the sender was not as
careful about the appearance of business
documents as are the clerks Of Joseph
Seep," who signs all checks for the Stand
ard Oil Company.
The check was an old one. and SeCre-
tary Reynolds is of the opinion that the
sender. discovering il by accident. de-
cided he would DO what he thinks the oil
trust should do.

CHANGE IN ARMY SUGGESTED
Coast Artillery May Be Transferred
to Navy Department.
Secretary OF War Now Considering
Important Subject Discussed
by Military Officers.

An important and even radical change
affecting both the army and navy has
been suggested by military officers. and
is under consideration by Secretary Of
War Taft. 1t is that the coast artillery
Of the United States, which is now
branch Of the army. should be transferred
to the control Of the Navy Department.
In support Of this proposition it IS
pointed out that Congress by its legisla-
ton Of last year made separate organizs-
tons Of the coast and field artillery. The
latter necessarily remain a part of the
mobile army. The coast artillery. on the
other hand, is Just as necessarily an
chored to the various fortifcations and
posts that it defends. In time Of war the
with the navy in the defense of ports.
&c. It uses naval weapons, such as sub
marine and floating mines, and tor
pedOes, &c.
Under these circumstances 10 Is thought
that ty establishing closer relations be-
tween the navy and the coast artillery
greater efficiency and better results might
be obtained. The scheme Is regarded as
practical by many military officers, and the
proposal TO divide the coast artillery into
three departments. with a brigadier gen.
eral at the head Of each, all under the
command OF a major general. which il
is believed Secretary Taft viii recon-
mend in his forthcoming annual report.
is a step in this direction.
While Secretary Taft has given the sub
jet Of the transfer Of the coast artillery
TO the navy some thought. ii has not
yet reached such a stage as to make It
probable that he will recommend this
action TO Congress this year. II is a
development. however. that is likely 10
occur in the future. A number OF army
officers object 20 it on the ground that
il would minimize the Importance Of the
army bat this consideration. il is thought
would have little weight compared with
the increased efficiency which It is
thought would result from the proposed
change.
The plan has already been adopted
10 some extent at least in France ard
Germany. where the marine artillery
mans the coast Notifications.
