To the Chesapeake and Obao Rail

tion of havine- inaugurated direct
.trade between a Southern piort and
Europe, the beginning of ;
movement, the far reaching
of "which no man can predict
Last July this, company
grand
results
entered
into a contract with Christopher
Furness. one ot the largest ship
owners in England, for fourflings of
steamers to run between Newport
v- News, Va., land London, Liverpool,
Glasgow and Havre. In compliance
with this contract, twenty steamers,
three more (than originally pontem-
piatea, wiiii De put. on tnernr-'o
January J In-aiiiTon to ! thesi
-
these
steamrCTs which, will sail ctni fixed
lays loaded with promiscuous car
goes, there will be other steamers
loaded with grain, the railroad com
pany having made contracts for the
transportation of immense quan
tities . . ot grain from" the
West ta be., exported to
. Europe. Heretofore there jwas ho
Western. grain shipped from any port
South of Baltimore, with, fcerhaps,
the exception of . Norfolk which
might have shipped some, aid New
Orleans, which, within the past
' couple of jjears, has becomej a great
ship'ping piint, the grain beipg car
ried down the Mississippi on barges
and from (these transferred to the
ships. j
These Newport News. : steamers
will not be; employed simply in car
rying cargoes out, but will bring
cargoes badk for Chicago, Cincinnati,
. Louisville,! St. Louis and otljier Wes
tern citiesf which have heretofore
imported their foreign merchandise
by wayofj New York arid other
Northern potts, so that this jNewport
News departure means not only a
great export Dusiness Dutf also a
great import business, and is the be
ginning of a great revolution in
ocean transportation. j j
One of these steamers loaded with
a general cargo left Liverpool for
Newport News on the 18th nst., and
.will be followed at regular periods
by others similarly loaded, khe com
pany haying employed agents to
work up j this business in England,'
Scotland and Ireland, as il will in
other countries to which its steamers
run. j -: 1
- This is ja matter in which not only
the company which inaugurated it,
and the State of Virginia aje inter
ested, but the : whole SouthJ and the
Northwest. It means to thle Chesa
peake & Ohio Railroad an Immense
business, the speedy development
and increased production j of the
country through which its lines run,
growing towns and multiplied indus
tries, and; it means for Virginia at no
distant day another great cly where
until this new departure aa unpre
tending little town stood. I
It means for the South mpre lines
ot steamers from other pbris which
are termini of railroad systems and
eventually a great Southern mer
chant marine seeking the commerce
not only of European countries but
of the world. - I
, it means direct trade from a num
ber of Southern ports not oinly with
England ;and other European coun
tries, but with Central and South
America,; and with other countries to
which America ships her products or
from which she buys products.
To the; Northwest it means more,
shorter and cheaper routes to the
outside markets of. the world for
what it s$lls .or buys, a saving to the
shipper in the cost of handling and

to the importer in the' cost Df hand
ling and : transportation of -what he
imports.
To the Southern cotton planter it
means a good deal for it nieans the
shipping:of the bulk of the cotton
crop intended for export direct from
the sections in which it is produced,
thus reducing the cost of handling
and transporting, resulting; in more
clear money to the planter.
To the Western grain grower it
means the same thing, a large saving
in the cost of handling and trans
porting his exportable surplus. Which
will go to his credit on the balance
sheet. Why don't the leaders of the Tar-,
mer's Alliance, instead of advocatiag
and wasting their time with absurd
impossibilities, turn their, attention
to practical subjects like! this, the
Shortest; surest and " most rational
way to secure the cheap, equitable
freight rates which the farmers de
mand and hope to secure through
the absurd, impracticable; and im
possible scheme that looks to the
Government ownership of ; the rail
roads and, if the scheme were car
ried out tojts logical conclusion, of
the lines of boats on the rivers and
lakes, and of vessels on the seas, as
well.. A meeting of Alliance men
did discuss this problem some time
ago; held one or two meetings at
Atlanta and appointed a committee
to work it up and - to consider and
report 6n the ways and means by
which it miffht be carried out. but
since the leaders have got so" deeply
immersed m politics they seem to
have lost sight of . ships and every
thing else that hasn t got politics in
some shape mixed up with it.

After completing the Government

FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. Nov. 24
The anxious court house habitues can
now see the "beginning of the end" in
the McDougald trial, though it is a lone
lane ana tne home stretch is not vet
reached. But the defence has been in
troducing testimony since noon vester
aay, and the close of to-day will orob
ably complete that evidence. Both sides
are confident of the result (or so express
themselves), but the average juryman
is an "onsartain critter." anH until h
loreman -pronounces the fateiul words
it is necessarily all conjecture.

D. T. Hargrove: Live in Laurinburg;
the general character of Edgar Gillespie
is very bad; characters of I, F. McLau-i

anybody's; prisoner's character hitherto
was unspotted; thought he was rather a
fetiring, modest man; defendant was
not superintendent, but secretary and
treasurer of the Sunday School; was at
home or thereabouts at the time of the
murder, the first time people heard of
the murder they said the murderer ought
to be : lynched, but did no.t men

he heard was by Millard Moore, who
said he wanted to get even with McDou

rest of John Kelly, charged with the
murder, whom witness took to Mont
pelier May 1st; about that time heard
nying rumors aoout lyncning aeienaant;

1,523 bales;-last year, same date, 563
bales.
: The cotton in the counties along
the Central Railroad for sixty and sev
enty miles west of. Savannah is about all

nearly bare, with the exception of now
and then one which may yield a half or
a third of a bale to the acre. The high

Farther up the road and in the interior,
off the Central and along the rivers and
branch roads, however, there is said to
be a good deal of cotton yet to be
