"The bare recapitulation of minor en
terprises and industries outside of mines,
railroads, furnaces and factories under
taken or enlarged in the South during
the past three months is a task in itself
but what with the projects that are
forming, many all but executed, and the
building outlook in almost every city
and town, the industrial record for the
year promises to be the "greatest in the
South's history. The range of enter
prise is vast and really embraces the
whole field of industry. Scarcely a
week has passed since the opening of
the year that has not witnessed the for
mation of companies backed by millions
of capital to prosecute great enterprises,
while the number of smaller but none
the less important ventures has surpris
ingly multiplied. The fact is that the
South '8 real boom has come."
