Marvellous GroDth Of South
in Last Three Decades

lvalue of their combined exports and
imports.
The $2,14O,O0O,OOO of individual de-
posits in its banks, the $3,397, 100000
invested in manufacturing and the ST.
971 100000 invested in farm lands and
buildings constitute something more
than half the true wealth of the south,
$27, SOC, 100000.
In some lines the south has produc-
ed more in a year and in some less
than the amounts named in these con-
sentative estimates of the production
in 1911; for instance, the cotton crop,
with seed, of the season ended August
81, 1911, having been worth $1,03O,OOO,-
900, as compared with the sS75,0OO,-
900 value of the much larger crop OF
the season of 1912 now being mark
eted. Enormous as many of these
amounts are,their real significance ap-
pears only in comparing them with
production at other times in the Uni
ted States as a whole.
The present wealth of the south is
| $11 900, 100000 greater than the
wealth of the country in 1860, though
the South's population now is only
1 ,606,60 greater than the country's
was then.
That near-equality in the numbers
of the populations emphasizes the fact
that the South produced last year 24l'-
1856 900 more bushels of corn than the
country harvested in 1860.
Even more significant, perhaps, is
comparison of the South today with
the country in 1880.
Its manufacturing capital is $5lO,-
900 900 greater than capital so invest
ed in the United States in 1880.
It's investment in farm lands ana
buildings is within $1,226,O 100000 OF
such value in the whole country IN
1880. although the area of improved
farm land in the South is 11O,7S9,OOo
acres less than the 2S4,771,OO0 OF such
acres in the whole country thirty-two
years ago.
It's lumber cut, now more than half
the annual cut of the country, is 9,000,-
100000 feet greater than the countrys
in 1880.
It's agricultural products are worth
at least $6OO,OOOOOO more than the
country's in 1880
Cotton Greater Than Gold.
Its cotton crop, with seed, in the
season ended August 81, 1911, had a
value more than twice as great as the
value of the output of all the gold
mines of the world and $457, 1852, 1897
greater than the combined values of
the outputs of the gold mines and
silver mines Of the world in the calen-
dar year 1910. The raw cotton ex-
ported in that season was worth $122,-
696,S65 more than the gold produced
in the calendar year.
There was a difference in favor of
the south of nearly $5,0000OO in value
between the country's mineral pro-
duction in 1880 and the South's in
1910.
In 1910 its coal output had a greater
value than the output of all the gold
and silver mines of the country, and
the South mined more bituminous
coal than all the bituminous and an

Motor Racers Ready
For Big Event Tomorrow

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 29-Prac-
tice for the second annual 500 mile in
ternational sweepstakes race, to be run
on the Indianapolis motor speedway to
morrow, Is ended. and the drivers and
their assistants are today putting their
racing cars in final condition for the
great test of speed and endurance.
There is every prospect OF exceedingly
fast time in the race as the practice
during the past few days has shown
that the course Is fast, some of the
drivers having driven laps at close to
100 miles an hour.
Nearly every American pilot of ma
tional reputation will be included among
the contestants Among them are
Ralph Mu.ford. winner of last years
Vanderbilt cup race; Terry Tetzlaff,
winner of the Santa Monica race !;
Howard Wilcox, holder OF the mile
straightaway stock car record; wild
Bob" Burman. the speed king; Len
ZenRel, winner of the national stock
chassis road race at Elgin last year;
Ralph De Palma, the mile-track champ
driver who finished second at Santa
Monica last year
Indianapolis is wildly enthusiastic over
the big race. Public buildings and bust
ness houses are sayly decorated with
nAgs and the colcrs of the automobile
clubs and associations. A conservative
estimate is that at least 10000 specta-
tors Will view the great contest
