travagant production, on which was Law

The financial growth has been wide

by the growth of the banking business

1906, were 221la millions, which sum had
increased June 80. 1906, to $50 1-3 millions,
or four times as much. Fifteen years
ago there were 100 banks in the south.
Now there are 2fo0. Thirty years ago
there were 800 newspapers. Now there
are $500 Educational facilities have null

directions could be Indefinitely detailed.
The south has nearly as many sea-
ports as all tile rest of the country COM

not as great. but the figures are growing.
During the fiscal year 1906, southern
ports sent abroad 6i2 millions of prod

preceding year. while imports Increased
from SO millions to 101 millions. The ports

No Signs of staenation.

The known potentalities of the south
and many yet to be reckoned with under
the whip and spur of steam and cleo
tricity aided by scientific research and
application, promise much for industry
and intelligence in the coming years. and
so the southern horizon shows signs
of stagnation, but instead acceleration
and achievement. The wealth and va
riety of possibilities and opportunities
for brain, Drawn and capital are so vast
in the south that they battle the mind to
fully grasp their magnitude. Go where
you may there is room for energy and
ambition with ample compensation for
every expenditure of effort. There will
be discouragements. individual and sec
