According to the estimate of the Man
ufacturers Record the people of the
South are getting rich faster than any
section of the country just at present.
The rate of increase in valuation of prop
erty is something like two dollars per
day per man. At this rate each man
should have been 500 better off Janua-
ry 1st., than on the same date last year,
but is this true? Not quite. The in
crease has been realized but largely by
favored class that neither spins nor
weaves but continues to accumulate.
What we need most is means of divid-
ing prosperity so that it will fab upon
all with something like unto an equal di.
vision.

"My Dear Mr.. Marvin-I am in re-
ceipt of your message of the 22nd.

Sincerely yours,
