Southern Railroads and Industry. (The Age of Steel.) The considerate treatment accorded home industries by the Southern railroads. has undoubtedly been: DOtent factor in the material advancement of the South. Machinery for the equipment of new manufacturing and mining enterprises has often been hauled to the place of erection at a loss. there are good reasons for believing while it is a matter of trade history that the Southern roads hive always been eminently fair in their ratemaking for the movement of industrial products from the South to other sections of the country.
In the iron trade of Alabama and Tennessee, the record of railroad co-operation in establishing and retaining markets is a long and honorable one. Freight rates have been governed for a number of years by the prices of iron and the necessities of competition, rising and falling accordingly as prices of the Southern furnace product rose and fell. This has been a wise policy for the Southern roads, goes without saying, although prejudicial to immediate earnings, and at times involving heavy financial losses. But it has contributed to the building up of a Birmingham in the iron trade: to the opening of quarries by hundreds and thousands: to the great growth of the cotton industry of the South, and to the tremendous dethat magnificently timbered velopment of lumber, manufacture, it. Union.
All of which signifies- -that the Southern reads can. for the' future. claim' an abundant reward for their in this good work. NO SUNDAY SCHOOL SHOW Fakirs Full Swing at Weldon Fair. Crowds Were There and the Racing Was Good, but Exhibits Were Few-Children Sighed for the Squedunk Man.
