THE soUTH's EXPANDING BUsI-
xESS

Figures published by the Baltimore
SUN show that in percentage of in
crease of freight and passenger traf-
maintenance OF tho rights OF way. the
South is ahead of the rest of the coun-
try. These figures are from tho official
reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and arc authentic They
make plain the fact that not only is
the freight and passenger business Of
the railroads becoming greater. but
also that the business men behind the
railroads realize the wonderful de-
vclopment of the South. @
The report shows that though the
Increase In freight business in the
whole nation for 1910 over 1909 was rs
per cent, the Increase for the South
ern roads was 1o.1 per cont The pas
senger traffic for the whole country
increased during the same period 6.1
per cent, and in the South 10 per cent.
The expenditures for structures and
maintenance of rights of way increas-
ed by lib per cent. through the entire
nation, out In the South IL was 1913
per cent.
Railroad business. as tho Montgom
cry Advertiser observes. is perhaps the
best commercial thermometer to test
the business or growth of any section.
These figures indicate the rapid prog
ress or the South, and bear out the
truth OF John F. wallace's statement
that "the prosperity OF the Southern
railroads and the prosperity of the
South arc irrevocably bound together,
and The needs Of tho South are identi
cal with the needs of the railroads."

BOUGHT HIM OFF.

An American colored man. well edu-
Gated, OF excellent reputation" doing
we'll In business, sometime ago bought
a home on Prescott Avenue, In Scran-
ton. Pennsylvania The residents of
that street and vicinity rose up in
arms and called a public meeting to
devise ways and means of getting rid
OF the black man. Some suggested
personal violence. Howcs the negro,
offered to vacate the premises IL no

given. besides, $500 which he had paid
OH the property and $40 to cover his
expense in moving. His proposition
busy raising the money by Individual
subscription.
New York contemporary. the Utica
Saturday Globe, makes this comment
about the Howes case: "Still we preach
equality every day and pass structures
on the people OF the South for their
dealings with the negro" It's tho old,
old story. In almost every village and
city OF New England some similar oc-
currence has taken place. Nearly every
Northern community has n black bar
across its record somewhere. There Is
really no love for the black man in
the North. The lonesomcst looking
man we ever saw was a colored min
lister marching in the alumni parade of
a great Northern university. His class
mates were not by his side. His pro-
fessors did not seek him. He was a
whole section of the parade himself
Perhaps the only man whose attention
he attracted was southerner. who
felt sorry for him. and thought how
mich happier are they who in gorgeous
regalia march to funerals or parade

seems to the writer that this is all

But getting back to my protest, /
do think It is very bad taste to writ
