This is te advantage pre- sented by a family newspaper. — PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH. Superintendent Porter Shows the Advance fm Industry, Agriculture and Population. THAT SECTION PRODUCES TODAY AS MUCH COAL, TRON AND PIG TRON AS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY Dip 1X 1870—WONDERFUL INCREASE Ix THE SIZE OF MANY CITIES—EDUCATIONAL FACILI- ‘IES AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT—A MARVEL- ots suowra. ‘The Manufacturers’ Record of this week con- tains an elaborate review by Hon. Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the census, of the industrial and agricultural progress of the south during the last ten years, based on the official statistics of the census. Mr. Porter at the beginning of his article, referring to “the wonderful progress of the south during the last decade,” says: “The mineral development and the increase in mdwufactures during this period have been of such magnitude and of such im- portance as to seriously attract the attention of the world. The south is today producing as much coal, iron ore and pig iron as the entire United States produced in 1870. With a fact like this established by olficial statistics it is not to be wondered at that as careful a statisti- cian as Edward Atkinson should say that, standing on the top of the highest peak of the great Smoky mountains, he would find in a radius of seventy-five miles the future iron- producing center of the United States. “Those who live in the south and im the midst of all this progress know it and realize it far better than people here in the north. “To my mind the progress of the southern states in the manufacture of steel will be as great during the next ten years as it has been in the production of coal and pig iron during the past decade. The class of labor attracted to these rich mineral regions will be of a higher character than of the past; that is to say. there will be artisans and mechanics who will com- tnand a much higher rate of wages and hence increase the consuming power of the south. ‘THE GROWTH OF CITIES. the remarkable de- velopment of the new south shown in a more striking degree than by the history of the as- tonishing growth of individnal cities in this section during the past decade. Anniston, Ala., increased from $42 people in 1880 to 9,876 in 1390. Birmingham, which was unknown when the census of 1570 was taken, and which in 1880 had a population of 3.086, had grown in 1890 to a flourishing city of 26,175 inhabitants—in fact, a center of industrial activity of 75,000 people, and showing an increase within the corporate limits of nearly 750 per cent in ten years. The value of land in and around that city has in- creased at a rate which 1s almost incredible, and one land company of that city, which w: incorporated with $100,000 cash capital, paid in five years—from 1383 to 1888—over 5,000 per cent on its cash capital, or a total of $5,570,- 000, and now has property worth probably $20,000,000. "Sheffield ta 1885 hardly existed, while in 1890 it had 2,730 inhabitants and will soon have 5,000. Chattanooga had a popula- tion of 12,892 in 1380 and 29,100 in 1890. Little Rock had 13,138 in 1880’ and 25,874 in 1890. Knoxville increased from 9,693 in 1580 to about 40,000 in 1890. Middlesborough, Ky., had no name and no inhabitants two years ago, but to- day has close upon 5,000 people and some of the most tic enterprises of modern times. + © * Johnson City had 685 inhabitan 1880, and now has nearly 5,000. Roanoke, which does not appear at all in the census of 1880, is now a city of 16,159 inhabitants. ‘This is the northern gateway of southwest Virginia, which has developed as one of the most im- portant coal and iron ore fields of the United States. Atlanta, Ga., which may be termed the metropolis of the new south, according to the census of 1880 contained 37,409 inhabitants and in 1890, 65,533, an increase of over 75 per cent.” MANY OTHER INSTANCES. “These,” says Mr. Porter, “are only some of the striking illustrations. It isno exaggeration tosay thata hundred similar examples could be given of small towns that have been thus de- veloped in Alabama, Georgia, Tennevser, Ken- tucky. North Carolina and Virginia." The eater of their growth has been due to development of their mineral resources. COAL OUTPUT INCREASE IN THIRTY YEARS. “In 1560 the best estimates that can be ob- tained showsthat the southern states produced less than a million tons of coal and in 1870 about 2,000,000 tons. In the year 1880, as shown by official data, this production had in- ereased to 5,676,160" tons. According to the eleventh census returns the production in 1890 was 17,772,945. This gives an output in the ceal-producing states of the south in 1840 of more than twice the entire output of bicumi- nous coal in the United States in 1860 and nearly 2,000,000 more tons than the total production of the United States in 1570. PRODUCTION OF PIG TRON. ‘These same states show far greater progress in the production of pig iron. The only one of these states producing pig iron in 1960 and 1870 was Ternessee. which. in 1860, produced 13,741 tons: in 1870, 23,658 tons, jumpin 70.873 in 1880 and in 1588 producing tons. The entire production of all of these states, including Tennessee, in 1580 was 397.301 tons. which bad in 1890 increased to nearly 2,000,000 tons. The production of iron ore in these southern states now almost equals the total production of the U. 8. in 1870. In that year the United States produced 3,163,839 tons, while in 1890 the production of the nine iron’ ore producing states of the south was 2,917,529. GROWTH OF MANUFACTURE. “This development of the mineral resources of the south has not been at the expense of its other industries. The manufacture of cotton, for example, has increased toa wonderful de- gree, as will be seen from the fact that in 1880 ‘the amount of cotton consumed in the south was 130,000 bales, while in 1890 it used 497,000 bales, an increase of 175 per cent. ‘The fact that since 1865 nearly ¢8,000,000,000 have been AN INTELLECTUAL CELEBRATION. How a Large Number of Colored People Ob- served Emancipation Day. INTERESTING EXERCISES AT THE METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH—PRIAES AWARDED TO sUC- CESSFUL PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPIL CONTESTANTS— REMARKABLE EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS IN COM- POSITION, DRAWING, CARVING AND SCIENCE. An exhibition of the progress made by the rising generation of the colored people was given at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on R street last evening. ‘his was the method adopted by a portion of the colored people of the District to celebrate the anniversary of emancipation day. A public meeting was held in the same eburch yesterday afternoon, as stated in Tur Stan, and addresses were made by W. Calvin Chase, John M. Langston and Prof. Gregory. The evening meeting was given up tothe pupils of the public schools. An admission fee of 25 cents was asked at the door, the proceeds of which will be given to the Home for Destitute Girls. A good sized audience filled the church at the hour named for the meeting. In front of the platform were arranged tables on which were placed articles showing the skill attained by the pupils of the public schools of the colored division in metal and wood working andalso m drawing. Mr. W. Calvin Chase presided and introduced Mr. E. M. Hewlett, who read the list of names of those who had been awarded medals for the best essays on given subjects. The committee was composed of the following named: Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Revs. F. J. Grimke, T. G. Stewart, Mrs. Ella W. Lynch and E. M. Hewlett. THE PRIZE WINNERS. ‘The prize winners were as follows: Grace Johnson of the Sumner School, sub- ject, “Charles Sumner,” awarded the John F. Cook medal. Miss Nancy Samders, Randall School, subject, ‘William Lloyd Garrison,” the James H. Hill medal. Miss Jennie Jones, Nor- mal School, subject, “The Best Methods of Ad- vancing the Colored Race,” the . K. Bruce medal. Miss Eleanor Sewall of the Garnett School, subject, “Abraham Lincoln,” the John R. Lynch medal. Miss Louise Kelly, Mott School, subject, “Thomas Jefferson,” the J. Gregory medal. Miss J. E. Anderson, the Dan- iel E. Cabill and Andrew Gleason medal for selling the highest number of tickets. Before the medals, which were handsome designs in gold, were awarded by Mr. Langston each one of the suecessful contestants was given an op- portunity to read their productions. The es- sayists stood upon the platform and read their essays, and were not only complimented by receiving the close attention of the audience, but also enjoyed the further evidence of appre- ciation in a hearty round of applause. WooD AND METAL WORKERS. The pupils who had on exhibition specimens of their skill in metal and wood working were also rewarded by the presentation of handsome medals. In the department of wood work, in charge of Mr. Hill, the L. A. Cornish. medal was presented to William H. Lewis, who ex- hibited a book case. In the department of metal working, in charge of Mr. Baltimore, the Wm. E. Matthews medal was awarded to Henry Bolden, who exhibited some springs. In the department of drawing, in charge of Prof. Hunston, the Geo. F."T. Cook medal was awarded’ to Miss Ellie West. who exhibited a handsome original design fora napkin. A con- test in singing between classes of the seventh and eighth divisions, conducted by Profs. Eay- ton and Grant, was an interesting feature of the evening's entertainment. The committee awarded the Stamford medal to the class from the eighth division. A TELEPHONE EXHIBIT. ‘The greatest interest was shown ina tele- phone, which was exhibited and which was made by Percival Brooks aud Arthur Newman, two boys, members of Prof. H. M. Browne class of physics in the colored High School. The telephone was put up in the church, one receiver being fastened to the wall at the rear of the platform and the other in front of the organ loft. In order that every one might test the practical workings of the instrument a watch was held at the transmitter at the farthest end of the church and toward the close of the exercises the audience filed along the platform and applied the receiver to their ears and heard the tick of the watch. The boys made every part of the instrument them- selves and have at the samé time introduced what they consider an improvement in the shape of a new form of carbon inductor. The committee that examined this telephone in order to determine the award of theF. J. Shadd medal for the best production in scientific ap- pliances consisted of Henry R. Miles, superin- tendent of the fire alarm and police telephone system of the District: Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, and William A. Hedric, professor of physics in the Washington High School. ‘THE COMMITTEE'S LETTER. This committee wrote the following letter, which was read to the audience “The undersigned who, upon your request, made an examination on Saturday last of a set of telephones. a microphone and some electro type plates at the Miner School building. take pisasuze im stating that each article deserves jonorable mention. “We are of the opinion, however, that the telephones on exhibition, manufactured by Percival Brooks and Arthur Newman, deserve the highest praise, exhibiting as they do a thorough knowledge on the part of the boys who constructed them of the present high state of telephonic art. ‘This is very complimentary to the boys who did the work.” The mechanism is also credit- able. The electrotype, “A Banquet of the Gods’ by Inez Kelly, we think stands next highest as work of art. The subject was well chosen and the work well executed.” Prof. Powell, the superintendent of the white schouls, was present and examined the exhibits of the handiwork of the scholars and was an in- terested spectator of the proceedings of the meeting. In his address resenting the medal: Mr. Langston commended in the highest terms the exhibition made by the pupils, showing as it did their progress in education. AT OTHER CHURCHES. After the parade of yesterday the colored people assembled in various churches and listened to addresses. Mr. B. K. Bruce pre- sided at the meeting held in the First Baptist Church. Rev. H. C. Robinson made the open- brought into the south to pay for cotton ex- plains in part the marvelous recuperative pow- ers of this section since the war. While bad agricultural methods have made cotton raising unprofitable to many farmers it is claimed that cotton is one of the most profitable crops that can be raised when its cultivation ia carried on intelligently and on a cash basis.” THE COTTON PRODUCT. The south produces about three-fourths of the world’s annual cotton crop, but manufac- tures only about 7 or 8 per cent of what it raises, the balance furnishing the material for spindles in New England and in Europs. The total cotton crop of the worl now runs from about 10,000,090 to 11,000,000 bales. of which the south raises on an average of late years 7,000,000 bales. The valu> of the south's agri- cultural products in 1889 was over 230,000,000 greater than in 1879, wa the value of ‘its live Stock $177.700,000 gresver. INCREASE OF RA‘LHOD MILEAGE. The railroad mileage has increased frora 20,- 612 miles in 1880 to 40,521 miles in 1989, the as- sessed value of property from €2,913,000,000 to $4,220,000,000, a gain of over $1.300,000,000, while the true value increased orer €3,000,000,- 0. EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS. Educational progress has been much greater than the percentage of gain in populationand the number of periodicals published in the south has increased from 2,625 in 1890 to 4,356 in 1590. ‘The timber resources of the south. Mr. Porter says, are far greater than those of any other portion of the United States, or indeed of any Civilized and well-settled country in the world. ‘THE TIMBER RESERVES. Tt contains the largest area of wooded land ‘and nearly one-half the merchantable timber im the United States. It has a greater variety of woods than any other section, and these enter into more industries; so that it may be safely asserted that all manufacturers using wood for their principal raw material can be supplied therewith by this section of the ing prayer. The oration of the evening was by Kev. Dr. James M. Townsend. Addresses were also made by Perry Carson and 8. E. Jones, “president of the day,” and Rev. A. 8. ‘Thomas. ‘The audience that assembled at Shiloh Baptist Church listened to an address by Kev. J. A. ‘Taylor, the pastor of the church Dr. C. H. Phillips presided over the meeting held at Ebenezer Church. The emancipation edict was read by George M. Arnold, who delivered an oration. G. W. Jenkins also made an address. At the Vermont Avenue Church the oration of the evening was delivered by John H. Smyth, formerly minister. to Liberia. ae Mr. ec r of the church, alse s] ee ‘The ‘maney derived. from Up sale of tickets admitting to these meetings will be given to the Home for Destitute Colored Children. pore sanslcacemmbis ‘The Third Party Movement. All indications are said to point to southern alliance men ignoring the call of President McGrath of the Kansas Alliance for a third party convention. President Livingstone of the Georgia alliance says formal demands will be made on both of the old parties. If ignored there is a possibility of a third party being formed. ———_<ee South Carolina Democrats Elbowed Out. ‘The first white republican meeting ever held in South Carolina took place at the state capi- tol yesterday, and is eaid to be largely the out- growth of the alliance wave which swept over that state last year. Many citizens who have heretofore been associated with the straightout democratic party were present. This move- ment is regarded with some concern in South Carolina. ‘fhe white democrats who are in it say that the old democratic party bas been elbowed out of existence by the farmers’ move: ment, and as they will not subscribe to the plat- form and principles of that movement they will go into the republican party. ‘There is some prospect of the new movement develop- country. —— Separated From His Darling Dollars.
