It is earnestly hoped
they will take right hold of the
matter, master its details and as-
sist in advancivg the industrial
progress of the country. Tn
every section, every district,
every county of the Southern
States exist advantages for the
young man"better chances than
anywhere on the face of the
globe. During the past few
years large uumbers of young
men surrendered their interests
in the South"went into other
and, as they believed then, broad-
er fields for the employment of
their taleuts and capabilities.
That movement of the young men,
a3 well as others, has reached a
conclusion. No mere is the
South sending people to aid in
trying to build up other sections.
We have reached a full realiza-
~Aion of the fact that the South
" possesses superior advantages
over all other sections for the
utilization of our native talent, as
wll as that of other ~aéctions-
We not only have room for all of
our own people, but several mils
lion of desirable immigrants.
The young men of the Southern
cities and towns are rapidly
awakening to their duty and
. privilege, and are casting; about
for some avenue through which
they can assist in the develop-
ment of their respective localities.
Young menTs business, leagues
jare being organized, Immigration
and improvement societies start-
young men, business enterprises

men, factories located and man-
aged by young men, and gener-
alty the young men of the South
are ably participating in the va-
rious important functions which
will bring prosperity and im-
provement to that section.
These young men, with the young
men who are preparing to come
South from the North, are the
future business men of that sec-
tion. The destiny of the South
and the activity manifested
and experience gained by the
voung men cf today forms no
minor part in the success of the
South. They are disciplining

It 1s hoped this circular will be
of some service in stimulating
the young men of the South aud
encouraging them on to prosper:
ous aud contented citizenship ;
that they will weigh the subject-
matter, talk it over with their
friends and. associates, and act
upon these suggestions. There
is not 2 community in the South

young men. Let the young men

mote their pocition and prospects.

what other sections are doing and

A Narrow Escape.
Ag the westbound passenger
train was crossing the Catawba
river, rear Catawba station, on
thursday, a poor old deaf man
came within a foot or a few feet
of being run over. He was near
the end but could not hear the
train approaching. When the
whistle blew he likely felt the jar
of the train and looking around
eer stopped the train within @ few
yards with wir brakes, saving
his life. It was a hair breadth
escape, attracting the passengers,
and drew thei: pity for the old
man lying just beside the train
above and the river below."

One of the largest brooj3 of young
chickers we have ever seen has just
been hatched by a hen belonging to Mr.
Joe Stone. The hen was set on twerty
eggs and came off Msnday with nine-
teen healthy chicks, Mr. Stone broke
the unhatched egg, thinking it was
spoiled, and found in it a live well de-
veloped chick. He believes it would
have broken the shell and come out if
left under the hen a few - hours longer.
