Advertising the South.

The railroads Of the South are about
to enter upon comprehensive scheme
for advertising the resources Of the
Southern States To discuss means to
that end a meeting Of railway presi-
dents is to be held in Washington next
week.
The Southern railroads will be doing
the South a valuable service in this
united effort toward making its attrac-
tions known to other sections of the
country. At the same time they will
be doing good for themselves. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that they have
not done something Of the kind here-
tofore. The Western railroads are con-
tinuous boosters for the Western coun-
try. Certainly they find that the boost
ing policy is good thing from BUSH
ness standpoint or they would not have
kept it up SO long and SO increasingly.
The South needs more population.
1t needs new farms and new industries.

Of supplies for the State prison, the

fused by the treasurer for the reason
expressed by him as follows:
The treasurer would not honor this,
and has written the Beckman Company
that the same cannot be paid until the
appropriation bill has been passed by
the Legislature.
Treasurer Taylor states that is very
embarrassing for him to refuse to pay
the accounts against the various insti-

been passed, this will be his policy"
