The following lines clipped from the Manufacturers Record of Mpy the ninth goes to show the great strides the South has made in the past twenty Ave years and what she lias achieved in the past: WHAT THE SOUTH OFFERS If from Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Rocky mountains, a bird's-eye view of the stout h could be had there would be seen a mighty, resistless, onward movement or a people who, hav ng stru>.gled am d the darkness of the wilderness, strengthened in body and mind by the hard but victorious tight, have at last come in sight of the Promised Laud. No longer moving wholly westward a? heretofore, the tide of population would be seen to be turning southward.

Here, says the South to all mankind, is a region of which there is no duplicate. Here is ample room for a hundred million people to have the best conditions found on earth for the enjoyment of life, tile building of a home, the development of business and the crea tlon of wealth. If the South has done this much liscouraging conditions eh fv ? d 25 years ago, what ma\ *' t now that the bu?ineJ-8 omc to realize that ro of this country or any equal opportunities lor ^nt of capital for the jlopmen1, of manufacturrailroad and agricult"-^' And instead of liavin mur^ral 1. a. in f " \ . it . aln fiat. v.? are 'o . s southward movement p l.r tVctur .. conditio*: > two resui i.- accooip i t\ ; H ' e, Mien stud v the p -> r i turn: recall the fact J h .< tlu ir testations of today in r&tli a< ex Moil, 4^^. l- fv. directions are merely the luiinment of plant Interrupted bv the war, but bised upon natural advantages that war ecu Id not destroy, and attempt to forecast what will be done In Southern ' advancement within the next 2 5 yoars.
