II MORE NILE
OF RAILS Laid
IN THE SOUTH
Yet Outlook for Coming Year is
Bright, Says the Manufacturers'
Record.

Baltimore, Jan. 2.-The annual re-
view of the railroad construction regu-
larly prepared at this season for the
Manufacturers Record shows that
204S.1 miles of new line were COM
pleted this year in the South and
Southwest, which is only II miles in
excess of the amount that was built in
1909. The amount built in the South
proper, that is, excluding Missouri and
Oklahoma, was 1S72.2miles, or IL
miles less than last year.
1t is estimated that next year in the
South and Southwest there will be
built 1885 miles of line, or about 450
miles less than was estimated for 1910.
In the South the outlook for the new
year is 1908 miles, or q miles less
than for the present year.
1t will be noted that the actual con-
struction for 1910 runs but little more
than half Of the amount estimated at
the beginning of the year, and If a
corresponding result is reached dui,
ing 1911 the actual construction in the
entire section under construction will
consequently be less than for 1910.

al banks in the South have capital,
surplus and undivided profits of $780,
100000, as against $240, 401 900 at the
close of 1909, a net increase of nearly
$1S,000,000 for national banks alone
in thirteen states, counting West Vir-
ginia, Arkansas and Texas, in addi-
ton to the states in the foregoing
list
The national banks have individual
deposits Of $60S,4S2,74S, as against
1851, S47, 701 at the close of 1909, an
increase of over $40,635,000 in indi-
vidual deposits alone. The total re-
sources of national banks in the South
have increased from S1,075, 140,225 to
81 ,163, 532,7S during the past year.
To this increase in the resources of
national banks must be added the in
crease in state banks, private banks
and trust companies. 1t would not
be a disproportionate estimate to re-
gard the total resources of all South
ern banks has two and one-third
times as large as the resources of
national banks only.
From this it will be seen that the
bank resources of the South are rapid
ly approaching three billion dollars
if in fact they do not already exceed
that figure.

Home" New Years eve, to the young
men friends of the girls of the Jolly
Eight Club was one of the loveliest
events of the winter season.
The reception rooms were beauti-
fully decorated, the club colors, green
and white, being used throughout the
various apartments open to the guests.
In the parlor, the club colors formed
a double canopy, while streamers of
the same fell from doors and win
dows. Immense ferns were grouped
about the rooms.
The punch table was placed in the
parlor, the punch bowl being prettily
arranged in bed of white carnations
and ferns. In the dining room the
table had for it's center-piece, a cut
glass vase of exquisite long-stemmed
on a reflector, which was in the mid
die of a handsome Battenberg center
piece over green. The sideboard and
buffet were gracefully draped in the
colors, and the green and white effect
was emphasized in the elaborate re-
| freshments. Cut glass naples held
green and white mints.
There was no formal receiving line,
the mother of the hostess, Mrs. j. S.
Harrison, Miss Ruby marguerite Lea,
the hostess and her house guest, Miss
Virginia lockwood, of Vicksburg,
greeting the callers informally. Pre-

The School
Allowance

WHEN the child goes to school near
home and is absent but a short
time during the day the only al
Iowance needed. of course. is for
sweets. school supplies and sundry
small affairs.
Many mothers have learned that the
wisest plan is to give the child small
weekly allowance regular sum.
given at a regular time and to last a
stated period. It's spending will be
left entirely to the child. If he has
such a sum and such an arrangement
is made he is much more apt to be
less reckless than when small sums
are given to him frequently and indis-
crfminately. Teach him quite early to
keep an account for himself; let him
see that the sum is his alone to do
with as he likes.
AS he grows older the sum may be
increased according to his needs In
this way he is more likely to develop
businesslike habits and learn to take
care of money than in any other way.
