An account of the Southern manufacturing and mining enterprises for January and February is given in the _Manufacturers' Record_, and illustrates the growing thrift of these industries in the South. Kentucky shows the largest aggregate, which foots up $6,851,000. Alabama is second with 5,210,000; Virginia, 3,830,000; Texas, 3,593,000; Georgia, 2,074,000; Maryland, 2,015,000; North Carolina, 1,227,000; West Virginia, 916,000; South Carolina, 904,000; Tennessee, 846,000, and the other States a little less than 500,000 each. The cotton mills begun since January will cost over $325,000, and will add more than a hundred thousand spindles to the number now in the South. The Eagle and Phoenix Mills, Columbus, Ga., intend to erect a new structure at the cost of $1,000,000. At Rome, Ga., and at Birmingham, Ala., new cotton mills to cost $100,000 each are about to be erected. Confidence, which can only spring from intelligence and Christianity, is the one thing needful in order to secure the capital wanted for the development of the vast manufacturing interests of the southern portion of our country. THE EARLY DAWN is the title of a paper published at Good Hope Station, Sherbro Island, under the management of Rev. Mr. Gomer, the colored Superintendent of the Mendi and Shengay Missions, now in charge of the United Brethren in Christ. THE EARLY DAWN is welcomed. * * * * * A TURN IN THE ROAD.
