Satisfactory Progress in All IMrections, the Concensus of Heports Generally. Baltimore, Sept. 12.?A good volume ot business is being transacted in most jobbing and manufacturing lines, the cooler weather now prevailing having had a stimulating effect. There appears to be a good representation of buyers in the marfr?xm ? -H-* tiuui a uiDiauue. i n? adjust-1 ment of the threatened railroad! strike has given confidence to shippers, and freight is now moving more freely, with embargoes raised, j While there remain still some unsettled strikes in local factories, the| situation has not been one that has apparently caused any setbacks of consequence among the manufactur-j ers involved. There is still a great demand for skilled and unskilled labor, and in some Instances the lack of same has retarded operations in some lines. Although the oystei season in the Chesapeake Hay has opened, very few of the bivalves have reached this market, owing to unfavorable weather conditions which have existed, though the indications are that shipments will now oegin to arrive more rapidly. The prospects lure that the price of oyster, will considerably exceed that of this period in 1915, owing to the increased expense of handling same. Building operations continue to increase, mainly in suburban sections, and the indications are that the erection of homes for the accommodation of several thousand families will shortly be started in the vicinity of large plants that either are being added to or are starting as new enterprises. Jobbers of general hardware report trade as about normal, with collections good, while dealers in marine hardware say business is quiet, with collections fair. Business continues brisk in iron and steel, while pobbers of plumbing supplies and requisite metals have been quiet. Atlanta, Sept. 12.?General business conditions continue satisfactory, and the ruling prices of cotton and cotton seed further encourage favoraoie outlook for fall trade in practically all lines, with prospects of igood collections. The temporary freight embargo by the railroads a few days last week, on account of the threatened tie-up, delayed shipments to somie extent, but not sufficiently to cause any serious trouble. Retail trade in nearly all lines is active for the season, and collections are reported good.

Souths Amazing Progress ^^rh^5oTuIT^Tmuzhig ^)rogre8s und | its unparalleled prosperity as evidenced by a recapitulation of the facts is one of the most fascinating stories of the day. Possessing resources unequalled in the Western world and surrounded by conditions tlat make for development in the way or climate, transportation facilities, labor ami ah tnose other elements that enter into the consideration or the proposition, the South today, in the estimation of those best posted on the situation, stands on the threshold of a glorious day when the sun of prosperity will hine with a roon day splendor unajjjproached in modern commercial annals. Consider the following facts compiled by the publicity committe of the Southern Newspaper Publisheis' Association and ponder upon their significance: "'Southern Prosperity?Cotton is bringing the highest price In years and bank deposits are at the highest point in Southern history. "On the day this is written, Aug. 25th, cotton is quoted at 15.76 cents |per pound against 9.70 cents per ! pound for the same date last year. This represents a gain of 6.06 cents per pound, or $30.30 bale. Very conservative estimates place this year's crop at 11,600,000 bales, I which at present market price will bring $914,080,000, or $312,000,l 000 morn than last year's crop. Addling to this sum of $914,080,000 the amount of $230,000,000, which the iseed will bring at current price, it I will be noted that toe South is receiving this year from cotton alone at current price the enormous sum of $1,144,080,000. "This year's report on the value of all agricultural products is not yet compiled, but in 1915 the cotton crop constituted but 19.1) per cent of the total value of Southern farm products. The percentage this year will be somewhat higher, but it gives some basis for determining the absolutely astonishing value of Southern farm products this year. "Moreover, Southern manufactured products in 1915 were valued at $400,000,000 more than Southerr farm products, and approximately the, same relationship holds good thh J""" "The latest report available showi that the increase in National Banl . deposits in the South for 191<5 ove 1915 was 14.9 per cent. With th? same proportion of increase, holdinj I good for State banks, there i> on de posit in Southern banks this year ai average of approximately two an* one-half billions of dollars. "The significance of the abov< facts is apparent. There are billion , of dollars now on deposit in Souther) . banks, and other billions are no\ rapidly coming in that are piling u| a purchasing power that is une quailed in Southern history, am . j which cannot be paralleled in an other section of the country. To neg lect the Southern field this fall in th preparation of national advertisin; . lists is inexcusable in the face of sue! II . facts and figures." This is but a word as to the ad . vantages which the South possesses , Its resources in waterpowers, in min i erals, in steel, iron, sulphur and oth > er all-important elements, in coa 1 oil and commercial necessities, in fei ti 1 ity of soil and richness of agricul jtural crops, in diversity of climat and natural transportation facilities I are unsurpassed in the nation. Its monopoly of the cotton crop i ' but one of tHe resources heretofor possibly accorded greater attentio than it rightly deserved in the aggrc gate. The greatest trucking regioi 'in the Western world is along th South Atlantic seaboard, the riches sulphur mines are in Louisiana am i Mississippi, the oil fields of Okia homa and Texas are world famous the "iron and steel of Alabama is o exceptional quality and a hundrei and one other items that enter lnt< the aggregate of potential Southeri wealth. The item of two and one-half bll lions of dollars in tjpnks on deposit! reflects something of the growth li capital resources, a department Ji which the South has nevtr before fig ured. The gradual exploitation o natural resources, as in the case wltl the hydro-electric Interests through out the Southeast, in the Carolines Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee i another straw which shows whlcl way the kind of Southern develop ment is blowing. The wonderful ad vance of Birmingham as a steel man ufacturing center is another and stil another the amazing advance achieved by Florida as a winter re sort section. There Is hardly a phase of com mercial development in which th< South does not possess resources o untold possibilities. And with th< advent of capital, toe production o the finished articles will reach won derful proportions. 'UESDAY, SEPT. 19,1916.

There is a right and a wrong way to cut roses. The choice of the lat-j ter may seriously injure the l^os-j som-produeing properties of the plants, it is pointed out by special-j ists of the United States Department of Agriculture. This applies particularly, of course, to rose plants ehc?soti and grown especially for cut-1 flower production. Such roses will be largely of the perpetual bloming sorts. When a rose is cut from such J plants?tea roses or other perpetual' bloomers?on./ two or three eyes of the current season's growth of that branch should be left on the plant.! This should give the roses very longj - stems. Succeeding blossoms should | be cut close to the ground. It will I seem like destroying the bush to take so much off it, but if the object, is the production of roses, the cutting! , away of the surplus wood will attain the desired end. If the spring pruning has not been sufflc' ntly severe the plant is likely j to have long, naked stalks and short stems to the flowers. With this^ character of growth only one or two strong leaf buds should be left on the branch when the flower is cut., so as to stimulate as much growth as 1 possible from the base of the plant. The greatest temptation to leave * wood is where there are two or more buds on one branch, some being R small when the terminal one is open. * This prevents the formation of two^ ' or more buds on one stalk. This p summer pruning will encourage addi-i 5 tional blooms on varieties which " bloom more than once a year. a I WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN MEN'! e s Do you know that the average a length of life for white males is v 50.2 years, for negro males .14.1 p years, for white females 51.6 years, >- and for negro females 17.7 years?. ri The reason for this is believed to be I y twofold: first, that nearly all the - suicides, murders and accidental p deaths are men, and, next, that men ^ indulge to excess in alcohol, tobach co, over-eating and various forms of vice more than women. Doctor Albert Hurr, in speaking of the use of tobacco, says: "There are v? lumes of evidence in support of th statement that smoking is responsiI hie for much of the premature senility of men. Nearly twice as many women as men live to be a hundreu." p It is exceedingly important that, we women keep our health and strength and minds clear to care for the coming generation. How im-! 8 portant it is. then, that wo use everv e influence possible to keep our youngi girls from contracting the snutt, habit. Almost every woman who1 uses snuff will say. "I was taught it e when I was a child, but I wish I had t never learned it." i hose who know 1 what a filthy thing snuff is would) not put it in their mouths unless the ' habit were fastened very strongly on ' them. rt ' ICHCKUITING STATIONS FOR 1 "SOLDIERS OF THE SEA."
