“North Alabama to-day is the most prosperous and rapidly progres-
sive section of the South. The fame of its vast resources — its iron —
limestone, endless variety of miscellaneous minerals, timber
and soil and climate, — has spread throughout the world, and the
remarkable development achieved within a decade has been the
wonder of two hemispheres. It is, indeed, surprising how the enormous wealth
of North Alabama, surrounded by the most favorable conditions for its devel-
opment, could have been permitted to lie dormant for so many years ; and we
doubt not that since it has now commenced to be developed in a sound,
business-like manner, the new era which is only just dawning will lead to the
establishment of multiform manufacturing industries, which, in time, will
cause it to lead all other manufacturing regions of the Union. Free labor has
become a blessing, whilst slavery was a curse ; and while there may be tem-
porary setbacks, the future destiny of this region as a great manufacturing
country is now fully assured. The fact that most of these great resources are
at present owned by Southern men, and are being developed with Southern
capital, the readiness with which the laboring element, especially colored
laborers, has become skilled in mining and manufacturing, are matters of
as much surprise to non-residents as they are a gratification to Alabamians.
The great majority of the industries here have been started upon a
sound basis. If they shall be conducted on business principles they will
be very prosperous, because the available native resources and advantages
