SOUTH SETS NEW BUILDING
RECORD.
Sixteen Southern States registered
a new building record of a billion and
a quarter of dpjlurs in 1925, a gain
of 44.6 ppr cent, over 1924. a com
mercial survey which will be publish
ed in tomorrow’s Atlanta Journal re-1
vealed.
T>n the basis of recAit national sur
veys, the survey published by The
Journal estimates that the South
last year did one-fifth of the building
in the United States. The following
States are embraced: Alabama, Ar
kansas. Florida. Georgia, Kentucky.
Louisiana. Maryland, XUssissippi,
Missouri, North Carolina. Oklahoma.
South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas.
Virginia, and West Virginia. Tliejiis
triet of Columbia also is included.
High lights in a survey of the
South's 1925 progress include:
Tile estimated construction in both
urban and rural districts is placed in
excess of a billion and a quarter dol
lars. which is one-fifth of the total
for all building outside of New York.
Comparisons with 1924 records from
103 cities shows a gain of 44.6 per
cent for the section as a whole, the
greatest gain on record.
£ Outside of Florida. Houston. Tex.,
made Ihe most spectacular record, with
a gain of 103.4 per cent, to reach a
total of $35,040,010. It led all cit
ies of the farther South in totals, ex
cepting Miami.
Other cities, other than those in
Florida, to gain more than one hun
dred per cent, include Gadsden. Ala.:
El Dorado. Ark.; Columbus. Ga.:
Lake Charles, La.: Bartlesville and
Sapulpa. Okla.: Charleston and
Greenwood. S. C.: Amarillo. San An
gelo and Witehita Falls, Tex., and
Petersburg. Va.
Texas led all states of the ttirnn in
value of its agricultural products.
Missouri wus eighth. North Carolina
.ninth and Oklahoma tenth,
if -- A quarter of a billion dollars was
. .Spent in improved highway eonstruo
. tion, of which $186,422,313 was ox
<Ev pended through state highway depart
' merits.
- Over 3,500 miles of paved roads
were pompleted during the year, bring
ing the total of all paved roads in the
& South to 14,154 miles.
-v Highway mileage to be laid down
in 1920 will be approximately ten
i thousand miles, according to prelimi
f North' Caroling pn£;3 firg2 fS>
;• .peuditures for higuwoy ~u.
• while Missouri laid down the most]
in : les of hard surfaced rouds.
!#£ Business conditions generally wert
lyfjrepcrted in satisfactory shape j
I throughout the territory, with ample
#'inouey in sight for the ptomition of all j
ft Bank deposits increased materially,
with banks in'severa| localities send
ffc.ing money into the New York market .
to invest in calk: loans.
S, Florida banks gained in deposits
. more than one hundred and forty fmr
patent in a year's time, reaching a total
Kgfef|BP.Wr,BST in forty cities.
i Bonds on southern buildings find
a ready market in the eastern invest
ment centers, and ample capital is
available for legitimate building in any !
progressive southern community
where there is an active demand for
new structures.
Petroleum interests express confi
dence in the outlook for their indus
try ip 1926. A general recovery was
felt ’n the closing months of 1925, as
consumption increased faster than pro
duction. i'
NEW MARKETS FOR TEXTILE
INDUSTRY.
Textile industries of the United
States'made a considerable advance in
attaining foreign markets during
1925. Commerce department statis
ticians compiling the figures today
found that the country's exports of
cotton cloth during the year amount
ed to 477.815,000 square yards, worth
$85,011,000. This was an increase
of 8.7 per cent, in value. The cotton
mills at the same time were more than
holdiug their own in supplying the
domestic markets, for imports decreas
ed.
It has been predicted for years that
the cotton mills would have to seek
new markets if (hey were to greatly
increase their earnings. While there
is a large volume of business in the
United States, the mills can make
more money when they get markets
in other countries. Also, they can
make more t money when they get
greater diversification. They can and
to a pertain extent now are making a
class of goods that heretofore has been
imported almost entirely.

with a cool simulation of uncon

“Yes, Paul, I know him—very

Paul was all concern and bewil
derment—and indignation. “Oh,

for our quarrel remains a mystery
to me for he asked me to do some
thing which was both distasteful
and unwarranted, and then refused

Dolores assumed a downtrodden
air and gave him a wan little smile.
"So he didn't want you to have
luncheon with me?"
Raul stared in amazement. Wtat
in all-seeing, all-knowing woman

Dolores went on
'Yet you were big enough and hid

CHAPTER Vin
Another Springtime and anothet
pair of lovers bad come to Ver
sailles!,
A scant two days after their
night adventure Michael called
upon Colette with that humility ol
gestating love tbhich dissolves In
sweet impatience all bulwarks ot
social caste. Flustered, delighted,
shyly gay, she was swept into tho
itifectious mood of his plan—a pic
nic to Versailles.
To Versailles and the old forest
adjacent thereto, one day or an
other wend all the attuned young
hearts of Paris, there to enrich
and Insure the fullness of their be
trothal under the tutelage of the
storied past, in the scenes of an
cient court romances haunted by
the gricious shades of lords and
ladleb.
/ And so to the pure fragile beauty
of Versailles—coronet suburb of
the Queen of the world’s capitals,
illustrious monument of a dead
monarchy’s burled glories—aad tc
the dawning fragrance of the for
est came Colette and Michael of a
rare morning.
After hours of troubled brooding
over the emotional turmoil of his
life, while the bending walls of his
house of cards crackled in his ears.
Michael had thought to find peace
by sharing with Colette for a day
the simple pleasures of the poor
The only way to do that was tc
step down —or was it up?—-to her
plane; and thus it was that this
morning the Royal Prince of the
Blood of Russia rubbed commoner
elbows and breathed the .odors oi
! bourgeglhe crowds, not excluding
the übiquitous Latin garlic.
What matter how they reached
Versatile*— by Metro, barouche, os
on foott Enough that they got
there In the young hours of the
day; they two. alone, bearing a
lunch btarfket packed by Colette ,
with the ten fumbling thumbs p!
her nervous hands; enough that
they wandered into the forest anti
drank deep of the cup of heart
witchery there In the half lights
aad murmuring stillnesses of the
old woods.
Colette was swiftly lost In the
facile ecstasies of the easily sat
isfied.
But Michael was more fundamen
tally stirred; for him, the transi
tion to simple raptures was not''
painless or brief, but a difficult
parturition through the unyielding
neek of cynicism. Once gained,
however, his joy was solid and
sustained; he heard the Pipes of
Pan in the great, soughing treetop
arches ot this enchanted, green
aisled Cathedral .wherein the
steaming dews of morning were
rlslhlir like Incense into the leafy,
choirs overhead. Something vi
brated within Michael; some dls
used chords of his'soul.
What civilised man has not,
when newly ro-experlenclng the
spell of the outdoors, been touched
by this poignant, bittersweet re
dundancy of mepaory; by a sadden
spiritual return tea belief in
fairies and all good things?
