Prospreity Abounds.
The'fiscal year ending June 30th,
1517, was one of amazing growth in
w the development of Southern manu
facturing and agricultural pursuits.
New plants completed , during the
year in the eight states of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana were as follows:
Brick, tile, etc., 32, canneries,
23, cheese factory, 1, chemical, 12,
cotton seed products, ginneries, etc.,
25, creameries, 8, fertilizer 7, flour
J A A fnmifliro IS. iron

products, 21, lumber, 145, power
developments, 42, stone, coal, mineral,
etc., 97, tannery, 1?# textile,?
f clothing, etc., 90, woodworking, 33,[
| and miscellaneous, 226, making a
V total of 787.
That is a marvelous record, but'
the government statistics also showi
the current year to be one of great
prosperity for Southern fa/rmers. I
With the exception ofv oats, which
were damaged by the unusually
severe frosts in the spring, yields
of all crops compare most favorably
with those of 1916.' The September
1st estimates of the United States
department of agriculture show the
following increase for the present "
year over 1916 in the yield of the
V various crops in the eight states
above mentioned: Cotton, increase,
1,030,635 bales; corn, 181,106,000
bushels; tobacco, 68,117,000 pounds;;
Irish potatoes, 6,923,000 bushels; r
swee| potatoes, 16,491,000 bushels;]
peaches, 3,611,000 bushels. The only^
crops showing a decrease from 1916 ;
are wheat, decrease, 676,000 bushels, i
\
oats, 19,595,000 bushels, and apples,
804,000 bushels.
In addition to the above crops
' there have been large increases in
the yield of certain other crops for
which statistics are not gathered by
the agricultural department of the
government. According to a conMi
servative estimate 5,000,000 acres
of velvet beans have been grown in
the eight states herein mentioned i
this year, this being an increase in
\ acerage of at least 300 per cent, over
last year and the yield being especially
good. There have also been
large increases in the production of
soy beans and peanuts.
In live stock husbandry the South
has made a new declaration of
economic independence. Statistics
and records prove that never before
have pure-bred breeding cattle and
F*.
bogs been here in such abundance.
Reports show also during the year
in inestion about 3,^00,000 apple,
peach, satsuma orange, and other
fruit trees have been planted in the
eight states named. Xo wonder thati
Deration here of a desirable popu-|
Iation is becoming rapid and people
are fast beginning to realize that
the South is a wonderful and progressive
section. These figures speak
lor themselves.

DEPENDENTS OF SOLDIERS.
Ruling From Gen. Crowder Gives Information
on Allotments
The following is a ruling from the
oTice of Provost Marshal General
Crowder at Washington, and gives
information specifically applied to
family allowances, allotments, compensation
and insurance for military
and naval forces of the
United States, which General'Crowder
says, will have an important bearing
on decisions on exemption claims
| on the ground of dependents:
, "The United States has made a
generous .provision for those dependent
upon its soldiers during the
present war. The base pay of the
j soldier ranges from $30 to $105 per
i month while serving within the
j limits of the United States; on
j foreign service, he is allowed 20 per
cent additional.
"Any soldier may make an allot|
ment in favor of the dependent relatives
by filling out the simple blank
furnishing h^ companyordetachment
commander for the purpose: The
depot quartermaster, Washington,
D. C., pays this allotment direct to
the dependent relatives without
further action on the soldier's part.
"The law compels an allotment of
not more than one-half of the soldier's
pay and not less than $15 per
month, for those dependent upon him
for support. In addition to this he
may voluntarily allot such portion of
his pay as he sees fit. The soldier
whose pay is only $30, can, without
hardship, spare at least $25 per
month. A soldier's allotment must
be equal to the family allowance
noted in paragraph 5 below, if onehalf
or less than one-half of his pay
will equal it.
"The following allowances have
also been made to those dependent
upon soldiers: *
"(a) A wife alone $15 per month.
"(b) A wife and one child, $25
per month.
"(c) Wife and two ' children,
S32.K0 r?f>r month with $5 npr month
for each additional child.
"(d) There are also allowances
provided for a soldier's children if he
has no wife, and under certain conditions
allowances are made to parents,
grandparents and dependent brothers
and sisters.
"As an example let us consider a
soldier with a dependent wife and
child, the soldier's pay being $30 per
month; the government allowance is
$25, the compulsory allotment is $15,
a total of $40 per month. In addition
So this the soldier can by slight selfdenial
allot an additional $10 per
month, making the total monthly payment
to his#wife and child $50.
"The United States also provides
insurance for the^oldier up to the
amount of $10,00^ Ine premium
is much lower than that charged by
life insurance companies in time of
peace. Any soldier can afford a policy
for $5,000, and should be able
to afford one for $10,000, thus, in
case of death, guaranteeing to his
dependents an annual income of $600
a year.
"Monthly compensation is also provided
for those dependent upon a soldier
in case he dies or is disabled.
This compensation is in addition to
any benefit derived from insurance."
CARD OF THANKS.
We take this method of thanking
each and every one of our friends in
Bamoerg ana Bamueig uuuuij iui
the many kindnesses shown us during
our recent bereavement. We desire
to thank those who sent telegrams,
letters and words of sympathy.
To those who sent so many
beautiful flowers, to the minister,
music club, veflerans, and all who
took part in the funeral services, we
also extend thanks for the manner
in which said service was carried
out. And especially do we remember
those who sent Mr. Rowell so
many nice things during his long
illness, and he appreciated so much
the many visits paid him during the
past two years or more.
May God's richest blessings abide
with each one of you is our prayer.
