INVESTMENTS IN THE SOUTH.
Corporations are Acquiring Large
 Tracts of Land.


 Baltimore, September 25. (SpeciaD Heavy investments in coal and timber lands in Southeastern Kentucky are regarded. according to special corres- pondence in this weeks issue of the Manufacturers Record as the forerun- ners of railroad extension into one of the richest undeveioped sections of the South.
 One corporation has already acquired control of probably 100000 acres in the center of the field and during the past week Ohio men purchased a tract of $500 acres in Harlan county.
 Several years ago the South ern' Rail- way purchased rights of way for a rail road extension from Hiddlesboro into Harlan county coal fields. Work upon the line never went beyond the initial stages, but the route is regarded as a logical one for any railroad extension that may be undertaken. Clay county, which like Harlan lacks railroad facili- ties, Southern investors have been ac- quiring land and now hold an aggre- gate of about 100000 acres.
