That the rates Of INCREASE on so many

the fact that the bases for advance in

rate OF Ass Ter cent. for the country,
sttll being s67oo0o.00o .leAs than the
capital invested In manufacturing In
tho country IN 1880 The advance In
the South, however, has been, also,
partly due to the inherent strength OF
the South as passessor OF natural re-
sources for industry. and notable IL
lustration NJ this fact Is that while the
cut of lumber in the South In 1880 was
less than 10 per cent OF the total cut
III the country, the Souths cut III 1909
was SCOT, 900 feet greater than the
cut in the country IN 1850 and % per

coal mining and Tn the textile indus
try the South has advanced beyond the
position of the whole country 30 years
ago.
But 1t has hot kept pace with the
countr-- as whole In population. In
the value Of it's agricultural products,
and IN some mineral activities, while

road mileage still finds 1t more than
10000 miles behind the mileage of the
country in 1854.
Such n situation suggests the lines in
which the energies OF men OF the South

II may. 1t Is needed to make the most
OF the agricultural potentialities OF the
South, to develop to the full its mineral,
manufacturing and commercial oppor-
tunities, Instead of population OF 81
to the square mile. the South can sup
port In industry population ten times
as dense. Even IL the present density
were only doubted. It would hive but
10000 900 more population than the
whole country had in 1850, and $1,000
0o0 less than the population of the
country to-day. In the South are ur-
