As a people we should be happy. "Tae world likes happy people And courts their sunny smiles." But notwithstanding all this progs perity, this bright prospect of im munity from distress during "bleak winter with its chilling blasts" the wail of the wailer grates harshly on our ears and the sntivprosperity prognostiottor pushes his putrid prophecies of universal desolation under our nose he tells us our mines 8"e great subteranean passages cf glcom anl destitution; that our mills have ceased their music and the i He operative lolls about in squalor and want that, the little products of our blighted lands have no market able value. Thrv tell vou all this whilst seemingly "They chafe at the worlds hard drilling." But thia is an election year an off year iu National poli tics, they call it and these wallers under the name of Third party, Populists and o'.her aliases are ehsk.- ing our good old State with all its staid decorum and judicious admin" traiion fro n center try circum ference. They are raising a bowl of calamity about stagnation in busi ness wnen there is no depression. Want of office is the "casus belli," and this wail of woe has it lEcep- tion in the fertile bruin of the wonlk-be ctlice holder. Under the benign laws given us by the Demo- I ra?y, we as, a state, have pos- pwijU una out couinv t.aj "out ippei many of her sister counties in advancement and wealth. Con cord alone gives us an example. Under State Republican rule, lile all other towns, Concord had no growth. The little "old factory, now Mill No. 1 that had done yoeman seryice for this and sur rounding counties under the man agement of the Messrs McDonald, was not a paying investment. Ev entually it fell into the hands of the Messrs Odell. Under Democratic management, confidence had been resored the reckless extravagance of the Republican rule was a thing of the past. Reliance in an economic direction of pnblic affairs brought thrift, enterprise, push, to cor porations aud individuals 'and m 1S81 the building of Mill No. 2 gave an impetus, not orly to manu facturing enterprises, but all o'.her industries in our midst. The row or to of little sunburnt, weather beaten houses are supplanted by substantial cottages. Korest Hill is in itself a town aud its residents find regular employment at prices that enable them to purchase the products of the f rxer. With Mill No. 2 the ball was set in motion The Cannon factory undeflhc ir.a.i- ter hand of J W Cannon, formed the nucleus around.which tbe pretty village of Cannonsyillc was added to our corporation. And anon, the Cabarruu Mills were built and homes for the working cover the once bar ren fields around the depot. No tosvn can or will prosper un less the surrounding countrj pros pers also. Concord's growth h;8 opened up a home market for our countrymen nnthought of iu days gone by. The poultry yard, the truck patches aud tha melon crop haye become more yaluable than the single staple crop cotton. . The produc, of the forest is always in demand. Taking a retrospective view of Republican rule in our State and judging by it we ask would these things have y been ? Woutd the rtckieia gnidaac? of those who steend the old ship of Slate frm '65 to '70 and brought this pe :C th;a pbnty, this p osperity ?
