the Democratic party in the
Federal court house here on last
Thursday afternoon. and were
we'll received. Hon. r. T. I
Irvine presided.
Judge Mann called attention
20 the progress made in all lines
since the Democrats came In
power ia 1854, and was loud In
commendation OF Swanson's
administration. Cap tai n
Kent's charges Of gross extra
vagance in administration Of
State affairs was refuted. it
being shown that the money
was expended in Improvement
of roads, better and more
schools, pensions and home for
COnfederates, normals for our
girls, agricultural schools and
farmers institutes TO make us
better farmers, aid 20 higher
educational institutions, etc,
and asked what of these the
Republicans would not approve.
He said that the States rev
enue was over two millions
more yearly than under Repub-
lican rule, without increased
taxation; that over four mill
lion of the States bonded in
/ debtedness and all interest had
been paid, and Virginia 3 per
ceut bonds were worth 90. He
advocated good roads, built by
convict labor. and the State
owning quarries, material to be
furnished the counties free;
more liberal treatment of Con-
/ federate soldiers, for whom the
last Legislature appropriated
$497, 900, while but 5000 was APP
priated during Republican con
troll Of the State
He reafiirmed mis- position on
the liquor question, denying
any deal being made by him or
friends with liquor interests.
He paid splendid tribute to the
States young men, saying he
didn't believe they could be
swerved from principle for sake
of Office, offered by the Repub-
licans.
Senator Martin answered the
Republican charge that Mann
was nominated by a ring. stat
ing that it was a ring of over
seventy-three thousand Demo
Gratis, and asserting that Cap
tain Kent was the nominee OF
G. b. Slemp. He compared the
records or the Democratic and
Republican nominees, stating
that if Judge Mann had done
nothing else to entitle him tC
the support of the best citizens,
the Mann law had done more
for the morality of the State
, than any law ever enacted in
the State. He closed his speech
by urging Democrats TO begir
now the redemp ptiOu of tn,
Ninth District from Republi
y canism.
Hon. Frank i Brent, Repub
lican nominee for Superintend
ent of Public instruction, who

THE SOUTH A FUTURE
IRON AND STEEL CENTER.

kheet Of a report to be issued by
ihe geological survey depart
nent of the United States shows
hat during the year 1908, the
.south furnished over five and
half million tons of iron ore
N the thirty-five million tons
mined. Leaving out Minnesota
which produced more ore than
al the rest Of the country com
bined and Michigan which pro-
duced eight million tons, the
South produced two thirds Of
the balance.
This much is true. the south
ern ores have not been develop
ed. The ores of the lake re-
gions are being developed to
their fullest. The future for
the South is therefore 20 be
measured by the resources of
iron undeveloped rather than
by what it is now putting
forth. It can be safely ventured
that there is desirable un-
developed IRON ores IN the south
ern states than in all Of the re-
mainder of the states east of
the Mississippi river.
The economic trend has been
70 develop those ores which can
be dug and placed at the manu-
featuring plants at lowest cost.
Water transportation furnished
by the lakes Go the iron manu-
featuring centers of the coun.
~, necessarily meant the full.
est development of those ore
beds first.
Pennsylvania is still the
great iron manufacturing cen
Of the country but Alabama
produced seven times as much
ore as did Pennsylvania last
year. Why do manufacturers
thrive in a country where the
ore has been largely used up
The answer is that the lake ores
are convenient and accessible
at a profit.
While Minnesota and Michi
gan are large producers of iror
ore, thew do not rank high a,
manufacturers or consumers OF
ores. Does that mean that ia,
southern states may also pro
duce ore but never become larg,
manufacturers? The cases ar,
not parallel. If the southern
ores were as easy access as lax,
ores to Pittsburg, Cleveland
etc, then would the South ex
pect to fare as has Minpesot;
and Michigan. But the SOutl
can not furnish the ore TO Pitts
burg except by long and cOstl,
railroad hauling. Therefor
the manufactures of iron OF,
will have to come TO southern
ore rather than the southern
ore go TO him.

that the tide OF immigration was decreas-

that the Japanese we're coming IN almost
as freely as they did before the agreement
