Several thousan 1 school children sting "My country, 'tis thee," aeeomiiauiud by LGilmoro's band. Mayor Potter King in a iorelUle Hpeceii formally welcomed tne Uoll, Bud Mayor Warwick responded. He said In part: "The lesson that Is taught ns by theeordial reception of the Liberty Ball is that wo are a united people, not only in fait, but in sentiment, that our loyalty is not confined within Kiate lines, but is as broad as the nation; that there are no limits to our patriotism s-ive ( he borders of tha republic.

"In the march we pushed on to Pilehmond and captured it, with no bitterness in our hearts ror steel in our bands. We marched through Georgia, not with Are and sword but with love and peace. The ouly delays ia onr progress since we left home were caused by the people who stopped us to bless the bell." He then told of all the journeys of therelio and eontinuingsaid: "This is not our bell, it is yours. We but bold it in trust for tho nation. The people of Philadelphia send it to yon willingly aud with all their hearts. At the lime of the opening of your exposition herj an in-ldeut occurred which strikes me as being of the greatest significance In solar S3 the future of the republic is concerned.

The output of pig irorl in the South iii 1880 was 197, .100 t.W", arid in 1834 1,500,000 tons. Thi value of tho product of thesnx.cd and planed lumber, which in 1880 was $4(5,938, 000, had risen in 1891 to $114,74(;,674. The true velue of Southern property ac cording to the census returns of 1880, was $7,041,000,000; last year it was estimated at 57 per cent more. There are to-day some $800,000,000 invested in manufacturing enterprises in the South, with an estimated Annual Value of product of- $1,000,000,000. Of the fotmer; about $108,000,000 is ihvet-ted in cotton mills, or live times as much as in 1880,and some $03,000, 000 is invested in lumber mills. A recent writer on the' South remarked, that with the possession of all the raw materials entering into manufactures, with cheap labor and cost of living, the industrial future of the Sontlr should be of the brightest. But the fact that these resources remained so long un developed and are now coming so fully into evidence argues a change in the spirit of the people more significant than the inexhaustible bou'ity of nature. No one at all familiar with the old South can fail to be struck with the resolution with which the men, whom the war left penniless.stt them elves to repair their wasted fortunes. While there were many that liiiocnmb ed to the struggle, aa well ns many that surmounted it, they have, as a' rule, left there some inch better fit ted for the competition of modern life than they were themselves. The rapid acceleration of Southern progress may be due partly to an infusion of North ern energy, but it is mainly the work of Southerners who were too young to know anything of the war or its pas sions, or who were born after its close. In the hands of this generation the South has taken its first great stride of real progress. THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH. Two $25,000 Lumber Plants to be Started In North Carolina.
