When is this thing going to
hul l up . now many mere
wheel can be turned .to advan
ce iu tuo sunny South?" Of'
ruure, as population increases
manufactures must increase,
biit they are now multiplying
much faster'' than .population.
1 was talking to an iron man
in Anniston about this and he
smiled and said the South is
still a lornr ways off from the
goal of over-production in iron,
aud as to other manufacturing
industries she has not begun.
We are uov making two tnou--
sand tons of pig iron per day,
which, of course, is largely
more than the couth consumes
and, therefore, goes North and
pays its own ireigm anu cornea
back to us in a tnousana ainer-
eut shapes, upon which we pay
mother freight, and yet there
H a good margin of profit in
making pig irou. This business
alone has added millions to our
wealth and given employment
to thousands of our people.
Four furnaces owned at Annis
ton made for tue' owners not
les than four millions ' of dol
lars in ten years.. But they are
not making so much tnow and
so the Anniston iron kings have
taken a new departure and are
rapidly establishing enterprises
that will consume all the iron
-hi makes. Their- immense
pipe works will consume two
hundred tons per day and that
pipe will all be required for
.-Souuthern use ; our own town
of Cartersville has recently
, purchased a thousand tons for
water and gas and it was all
made in the South. We are
keeping oiir profits at tome.
As I nreandered around the
model city, the beautiful city of
Anniston, I, was more than ever
, impressed with the foresight
: and wisdom of her founders.
It seems but a few year ago
that I went down with Mr.
Noble, the old patriarch, to see
the property they ht.d bought.
The ruins or an old lurnace,
that the yankeea had bnrned,
were there and nothing else
save the ores i i the. hills and
the timber that covered the
surrounding country. To de
velop this property the Nobles
and the Tylers put in their
-a rita.l and their brains. With
an eye and a taste for the
beautiful they laid out a town
and just as fast as they made
money from their furnaces they
graded streets and paved side
walks, and planted shade trees
and built churches and acade
mics. Health, and ornament
and a noble, Christian charity
! marched right along side by
side with industry. They had
a care for the comfort and con
tentment of their laborers 'and
took a fatherly interest in their
children. The partnership of
1 the Nobles and the Tylers was
a most fortunate one, for what
one side lacked the other pos
' sessed. Of the .Tylers, I only
know that they werean aristo
cratic family of fine business
qualities and unassuming dig
nity. Or the Nobles, I know
that their cardinal principle
was to dignify and adorn labor,
and they did it. They are doing
itvet. No matter how fast they
are accumulating wealth, they
,-r.ntinnH to labor to labor as a
dntv. and not to pile up riches
The-children and grandchildren
have all been trained to work,
and they do it cheerfully. :

T4iev are always spending
mouey to improve the condi
tinnf the laboring cf asses or
t,. beautify the town or to pro
vide schools and churches for
ti.ai nMnnlfl. Within a few
years the Tylers and Nobles
have raided Anniston from the
woods to a city of 12,000 people,
with ?1;,000,000 invested capi-,
tal. 1 1 is a model city, a moral
city, an industrious city, and
continues to grow and prosper.
New men, younger men, have
been attracted here, and now
the Parkers and Ledbetters and
McElroys and Withams are
working in the lead. I never
fawa.place with so mauy ac
tive, energetic young men.
There are over four thousand
ttjan and laborers upon
ttieir pay rolls. The itoiung
:-tock company alone has over
ftitfht huudred. Bishop Wilmer
-aid in a beautiful sermon that
siviug healthy employment to
the poor and paying just wages
was far better than charity.
This i done at Anniaion. The
;juor are held up and encour
aged, The laborers all have
vleau. attractive homes, with
vines aud flowers in the. front
yard and gardens in the " rear
aud schools aud churches near
kjr- Everything here is baBed
upon labpr, intelligent ' labor.
The splendid residences "of the
rich, the beautiful churches, the
Inn, the hotels, the stores, the
parks, all came from the sweat
and toil and skill of the laborer
and the artisan, and this toil
and skill is entitled to the high
est respect. The rich man who
wbuld sneer at the laborer is a
fqol. The .young man who
prides himself on his family or
Lis money ana suuds me nouesi

hind the house and kicked.
There is a ton of pig iron that
cost 12 and sells for 16 11.50
of that ton is labor. The ma
terial cost only half a dollar for
the ore is in the earth and labor
gets it out. The charcoal is in
the timber;1 the limestone in
the quarry and the sand in the
sandbed. That ton of pig iron
is converted into pipe, at the
pipe works- by labor and is
then worth thirty dollars ; or
it is converted into nails and. is
worth siity-flve dollars. An-
niaton will - soon be mamng
four hundred tons per day, and
will convert it all into pipe and
car wheels aud nails and boiler
plate and bar iron aud other in
dustrial products. Before long
thero will be sti5ve works, and
works for edged tools aud pot
ware and spades and picks, and
all these will add still more to
the value of the half dollars
worth of raw material, and it

believed that within five years
the four hundred tons of pig
iron will be increased in value
to forty thousand dollars, and
this amount be realized every
day
I asked my iron friend how
far the begeficial influence of
these Anniston , industries ex
tended into the farming coun
try. "It is impossible to tell,1
he said, . "but certainly for
twenty-five miles in every di
rection not for cotton, but for
grain and cattle and hogs and
fowls; and potatoes and vege
tables and milk and butter.
Chickens . are in demand the
year round at an average of
forty cents and eggs at twenty
cents, and the farmer can maKe
more clear money ,
things than from his cotton
crop. The entire population of
Anniston are consumers and not
producers of food supplies, r or
miles around the town the
farming lands have doubled
and quadrupled In value in the
last five years. In the' suburbs
the lands have advanced fifty
times their former value. The
highlands on the north that
are about two miles from the
business center are now worth
a thousand dollars per acre,
and will soon be occupied by
the wealthiest people ot tne
city. Then there is South An
niston on the South, and
cnTneriner on the west, whose
lands are equally valuable
There is no excitement about
these prices and but little
speculation. The purchasers
buy them to improve tnem ana
live upon them
Is it possible, thought I, that
the South, the long oppresseu
South, is so near her independ
ence. Will she soon be making
all her own locomotives and
steel rails and cars and water

wazons and buguies and f urni

time, near at hand when we
will buy nothing from the
mighty North except hairpins,
and buttons and Duttonnoies,
and fish hooks, and vest

The city of Colombo, on the
western coast of Cey Ion, fronts an
open sea.and is approached with no
little difficulty at certain times.
Vrr.m the harbor, formed by an
artificial breakwater, a scene of i
tropical and bewitching beauty is i
revealed. The storied island seems j
to rise up on the horizon like a
fairy enchantment. Palms and
other tropical trees line the shore
Hills ot creen forests stretch away j
in the distance and the blue skies
touch their iar-a way summits with
soft and fading tints. The city
slumbers on the beach, halt hidden
In the bright ionage, witn tue
breakers rolling lazily upoh the
cmlden sands at its ieet. It is a
beautiful vision, in singular contrast
with the desolate and barren scenes ,
along the coast of the. Asiatic
seas.
As soon as a vessel drops anchor
before Colombo, scores ot boats
put out from the shore and sur
round the new comer, for the pur
pose of landing passengers. Tnese
are strange looking crafts, for
ordinary boats could not ride
through the suTf,consisting of a sim
ple dug-out, across which at each
end is fastened a pole that projects
eight or ten feet ou one side, secur
ed to a log at the outer extremity,
formiug au out-rigger, with tho
annearance ot two ooats lasneu
together. Equipped with a three
cornered .sail and manned with
dusky natives, the skiff is complete,
and iu a fair breeze skims lightly
nd ftaft-1 v over the surface. Even
in rongh water it cannot capsize,
and is often driven by the winds
and sweils ot the sea hig,h and dry
upon the beach.
The boatmen, who venture out
through the surf,are an odd-looking
and interesting lot of people. At
