That very capable friend and
champion of Florida, Hon. E. w.
Barber, of Jackson, Mich, who has
q winter home at Crooked Lake in
this county, writes the best letters
that we know Of going from Flor
ida to a northern paper. Mr. Bar
ber's letters appear every week or
two in the Daily Patriot of his. home
city. and they are in high degree
educative as to Florida, without
exaggeration and packed with useful
and pertinent information on the
subject-the kind that people want
to know. From his last letter in
the Patriot under date of Feb. 8,
we take the following:

long been a bugbear in northern

GROWTH OF SOUTHERN
STATE


There hass3ssers been time
nsthe history ofthe United
States when the need Of foreign
markets for our industries was
so great4as it is now.
Acarefully prepared estimate
Of population in excess of ten
years Of age, and of the num-
Der now employed in each OF
the larger cities of the United
States, prepared by the Manu-
facturers Record of Baltimore,
makes it clear that there is
abundant employment for only
a little more than one-half OF
our population over ten years Of
age.
AS a rule conditions are bet
ter in this regard in southern
than in northern cities. Mem
phis, Tennessee, has the largest
proportion of her people at work
of any southern city, though
Atlanta, Georgia, is a close Sec
ond. Lowell, Mass, has nearly
the same percentage at work as
Memphis; while, on the other
hand, in Scranton, Penn, not
much over so per cent employ
ed.
Southern Cities, tits reported,
are growing rapidly. Climate
favors them industrially. The
late E. H. Hartman predicted
the unparalleled growth of what
he called the "empire-iike south
west" Jay Gould held the
same view. I
Atlanta, it is said, should have
10000 population by July first,
1915; Birmingham only a little
behind with 10000; Memphis,
10000; Richmond, from which
nearly all traces of the civil war
have disappeared, 10000; San
Antonio and Dallas, Texas, and
Nashville, Tenn, about $4,000
notwithstanding large increas-
es since the census of 1910, and
telling the story OF southern
growth.
New Orleans has 36I,ooo in
habitants, an increase not so
great proportionately as that OF
some other southern cities, but
likely to be much greater in the
next FIVE years on account OF
the influence of the Panama
Canal. OF the southern cities
with less than a hundred thous-
and people Jacksonville and
Tampa in Florida are feeling the
impulse of the new era in trade
with the West India islands and
Central and South America, and
no state is likely to be more
favorably affected than is the
entire peninsula Of Florida. I'm
proved conditions in the South
react graciously upon the rest of
the country, and this fact is
noticed and. commented upon at
the present time by New York
bankers; for that city has daily
| ocean steamer service with all
southern seaboard cities. as well
as intercourse with all interior To-
calities by several railway lines.
The next twenty-five years
will witness more remarkable
changes and Improvements in
the South than any other por-
ton of the United States.-Jack-
son Patriot. 1.
