Southern Advancement and Cures Highlight 1880s South
The article praises Southern growth with figures on crop value rising from 62.98 million in 1880 to over 72.9 million in 1885, tax wealth up 1.3 million, iron output up 800k tons, coal up 1m tons, and cotton manufacture doubling since 1880. It credits Southern energy postwar for steady ten year gains, notes northern and global investments, and mentions medical ads for Dr King’s New Discovery and other remedies. It also reports a Pittsburg society forming to buy land in North Georgia for a colony and comments on Maj. Hanson’s speech as Republican in tone, not Democratic affiliation.
