A FORECAST OF
THE SOUTH’S FUTURE
Pnrlng 1906 the wealth of the
South Increased $7,300,000 for
every day of the year, Sundays In
cluded. or a total of $2,690,000,000.
The actual Increase In nssessed val
ue was $ 1,076,479,788, and this
was on the average 4 0 per cent, of
the truo value. Tho amazing mag
nitude of this gain of $7,300,000 a
day Is strikingly shown by the state
ment if the London Express, which,
becoming the Inability of Great
Drltlan to keep paco with America’s
growth, put the Increase In Great
Ilritian's wealth at $7,<K>0,000 a
week.
Contrast tho South’s Increase of
$7,300,000 a day with Great Ilrlt
lan’H $7,000,000 a week and then
think of the future.
Great Tlrltlan, with comparatively
few natural resources, dependent up
on the outside world for nearly all
Its food stuffs for much of Its Iron
ore, for all of Its cotton and a large
part of Its lumber and with only
10.000 square miles of coal, of
which a large portion has been
worked out. has 40.000.000 people
crowded into an area equal to the*
of less than half of Texas.
On the other hand look at the
South, with the world's cotton trade
In Its absolute domination, with 62.
000 square miles of virgin coal
fields, with Iron ore sufficient to du
plicate for years to come the whole
Iron and steel of all Europe with
almost limitless soil capabilities al
rond^ producing over 800.000.00n
bushels of grain a year nnd several
minion dollars’ worth of diversified
f.irm products able to porduce
foodstuffs for hundreds of millions
able to clothe the world, able to do
more manufacturing than thait or
the whole country today, with mil
lions of available water power. ROrt,
000 horse power for electrical trans
mission being already under develop
ment. and when you hnve catalogued
these you have mentioned only a
few of the South’s strong points.
\Vbo can measure the 1'Jm.ltless
possibilities of tho South? Who can
fully grasp the fact that the South
is rapidly pushing forward to the
time when lts own wealth will ex
ce*>d all of the vast wealth accurmi
!ated by Great Rrltian through the
ages, and by which It dominates the
finances of the world? Given n few
more years of this rapid advance
hv the Souyi, and it will begin to
Pile up a vast accumulation of cap
ital. whereas now its business is I
Increasing so rapidly that It requires 1
nil of Its earnings for active bus!
nos-s operations. Surely the vlsslon
Is one to stir every Southern heart,
for it Is. indeed, a reality.
The growth in wealth during the
coming years will far exceed the
wonderful story of 1906.—Manu
facturer’s Record.
HOW WOMAN
RISKS HER LIFE
“The modern woman Is a walk
ing bonfire, only waiting for a nn
ed light to come anywhere In her
Immediate neighborhood to hurst In
to fiame."
I he above sentence is from a let
ter from a leading physician, who
asks for reasons of professional eti
quette that his name may not be
quoted. .
In spite of the various warnings
which have been issued from time
to time." he continues, "woman still
persist in decking themselves with
celluloid ornaments, and this in spite
of the knowledge that the heat
thrown out front a fireplace may re
sult in the horrible fate of death by
burning."
The woman who goes out calling
fastens her hair wtth celluloid halr
I>tnsi whleh arc made In a varlet\
of colors to match each gown. She
adds a couple of Jeweled celluloid
vide combs and a celluloid slide set
with paste.
The straw or felt hat Is trimmed
with bunches of celluloid (trapes
currents or cherries and stabbed b>
a pin of celluloid headed hatpins.
She wears a pair of celluloid
rlnrs for her ears In a delicate shade
of turquols blue, with a necklace
of celluloid heads to match.
A celluloid buckle set with Jewels
or hand painted clasps her waist
band Celluloid buttons fasten her
gloves A celluloid holder raises
h«T dress In muddy weather.
The dancing srirl Is In the -same
predicament.
Celluloid sequin* rover her

Wreaths of celluloid fruits deck her

NATIONS PREPAR
ING FOR WAR.j
There was a time when men talk
ed of beating the sword Into the
pruning hook and melting cannon
into plowshares or something of the
kind. Mut they were misguided men
who hail little undertaking of the
'rue situation. . War is to he pre
vented by no niggardly subscription
to demand's for disarmament. The
opposition is the case. Germany
will therefore build a 2f>,()00iton
battleship presently and others la
ter. The addition of a battleship
four-fifths this size made Englnnd
pre-eminent for the minute. Then
Tapnn built one and began others.
The 1 nitod Slates* adopted plains
and -specifications and before the
trials of the Dreadnaught had been

was threatened. Germany wants
