Moro Grain, Moro Prosperity.

From every part OF the South come
reports OF increasing business activity.
The great grain crop of the year of
nearly IS per cent. increase over last
years yield shows percentage of
gain of from 13 per cent. to is per
cent: more than the rate of gain in
population during the same period.
This Increase In grain Is In part
matched by large increase In the
number OF hogs In the South, although
the effect OF the big grain crop will not
md full expression In the increase of
hogs until next year. The gain in the
South I'm the number OF hogs as COM
pared with September OF last year runs
from . Der cent. In West Virginia to
20 per cent In South Carolina, with
gains In other Southern States running
from per cent. 8 per cent. and 6
per cent up to 10 per cent. The in
crease OF 20 per cent. In South Caro-
iina is not exceeded by any other
State In the Union. and Is equaied by
only two.
This increase In grain and meat pro-
uuction. added to the advancing price
for cotton. with increasing demand, Is
bringing about a spirit OF optimism
which has not been seen throughout
the South since the beginning Of the
war.-Baltlmore Sun.

DENIES PURCHASE
 l. BY TENNESSEE C0. OF RED GAP BRANCH
Crawford Says Tennessee Company Has Not Bought Part of Mineral Rail-
 road From l.. & N.

George Gordon Crawford, president ol the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company declared last night that the re- ported purchase by his company of the Red Gap branch of the Birmingham Mineral railroad, owned by the Louis vile and Nashville. was unfounded. Tn, report reached Birmingham in the form of a dispatch from the Montgomery cor respondent of The Age-Heraid.
 The Montgomery dispatch follows:
 The Louisville ana Nashville Rail- road company has practically com pleted sale with the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company, whereby the latter is to purchase the Red Gap branch of the Birmingham Mineral
 This information was obtained this afternoon by representative of The Age-Herald in conversation with railroad man of long years exper,- ence
 This sale was prophesied in evi- dence given by General Agent E. A. deFuniak of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, is recent evidence be- fore the railroad commission of Ala bama in the 10 per cent increase case. He stated at that time that the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad was will ing to sell the Birmingham Mineral properties at any time and to any pur- chaser who would agree to take the properties off of the hands of the Louisville and Nashville
 Tt is the belief here that the rur- mace companies of Birmingham will buy all of the Mineral branches~of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The recent efforts of the Louisville and Nashville to increase the rate on raw furnace material to the Bir- mingham district is regarded as an indications that the road IS losing money on the Mineral division and that the Louisville and Nashville is willing to sell, and it is believed that the sale of the Red Gap branch is but the forerunner of the sale of other sections of the Birmingham Mineral to the furnace operators of the Birming- ham district. These sales, it is be- lieved will amount in the aggregate to $55, COG, ,O0o'
