RISE IN SOUTH .
By International News Service

By international news service
Pronounced advances in the in
dustrial and agricultural activities
of the South are reflected in a re-
port by the Manufacturer Record
embracing the first six months Of
1898.
There has been a decided trend
Of indus trial decentralization
movement in the country, with
southern states becoming scenes
Of new manufacturing activity.
Chief reasons for the upsWlng
Of Industrial activity in the South
were given as abundance Of raw
materials, availability OF power
and adequacy Of transportation
requirements.
An expansion of the mineral,
iron and steel, wood-pulp, paper,
wood working and chemical indus
tries was noted in southern states
during the first half year. Says
the Record:
"A great deal Of this devel-
Opment is following the great
realization among individuals
and concerns seeking advan-
tageOus locations, that the fu-
ture industrial expansion Of the
country will center in the
South"

more fortunate than this section
lower Delaware folks will be COM
PEELED to resort to rice or some other
substitute for potatoes this winter.
The usual acreage was planted here
and instead of shipping out from
this district we will be compelled
to import from other sections suf-

growers will not reap enough for
their family supply and seed for
