Charlotte N. a TO OUR NEWSPAPER FRIENDS. . The "boys" during our temporary absence from the city published quite a list of notices from our exchanges showing their good opinion of the proprietor of The Observer called forth by the recent change in its management, which affords us an opportunity to make our most pro found bow of acknowledgement thus publicly. We hr.pe we have merited, and hope still to merit, the good will of all. This is an increase of over 60 per cent in barely three years. The fur ther facts elicited about the cheap ness of manfacturing cotton goods in the South and the dividends paid ranging from 15 to 20 per cent must bring about an even greater growth of this industry in the South in the next few years than that it has wit nessed since 1880. With nearly 60 columns of these interviews, sufficient to fill a very large actavo volume, before us, all concisely written and full of interesting facts, it is almost impossible to say which are the most salient features. All of them show the growth and improve ment of the South, and the birth and development of new industries. Ex-Senator A. Gh Thurman says he is not a candidate for TJ. S. Senator or any other place, except a place to rest and enjoy himself. FROM SPARTANBURG. Ferdinand C. Latrobe, Democratic candidate for Mayor of Baltimore, is having a lively time these days. He is without a doubt the most "cussed" and discussed denizen of that burg. The increase of postoffices in the South during the past year was 725, while in the West it was 580. A straw which shows that the South is up and awake. To He Late. WE no DE JO thank WE HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER LOT OF HANDSOME WRAPS FOR LADIES, IN Do'mans, Circulars and Palitoes.

We cordially Invite all to call, examine and sup ply themselves with all that may be needed In our line. A. E. RANKIN & BRO OUR Fall and Winter THE GROWTH OF THE SOUTH The New Orleans Times-Democrat is doing a valuable work in writing up the resources of the South and printing in a full and comprehensive manner what these resources are and at the same time showing the aston ishing progress the South is making. Last Saturday's edition was a mam moth publication containing full inter views with all the governors of all the Southern States, giving a complete re view of the South from the Ohio and Potomac to the Gulf and Rio Grande. The gist of these interviews is con densed in the following which we clip from its editorial columns and commend to the attention of our readers as an evidence of the mar vellous progress the South is making. And yet it is but the beginning. Read and ponder upon the following facts and figures : , 1883. , State. Assessment. Alabama $155,000,000 Arkansas .... 128,000,000 Florida 56,000,000 Georgia 325,000,000 Kentucky 374,554,yyy The "Catholic Directory" says the Catholics in the United States in 1874 numbered 5,760,000 and in 82 6,880, 000, an increase of nearly 20 per cent, in ten years. ' The experiment of ostrich farming is to be tried at Silver Lake, Orange county, Florida. Three pairs of os triches were shipped from New York last week to begin with. The Cincinnati Enquirer, which cordially hates Pendleton, hopes to beat him for the U. S. Senate with Thurman, whose election it advocates. The anti-Butler men say that Butler is running the registry mill in that State now. Registration in Boston is now 3,000 in excess of last year, and most of it of the Butler kind. An unparalleled drought prevails in Alabama. In the section around Tuscaloosa there has been but one good rain since the 1st of July. As a consequence the crops are an entire failure.

S. S. Cox in a speech at Balti more the other day, speaking about factions, warned his hearers not to foreret general issues in these "little insectiverous questions of local gov ernment." But sometimes these in sectiverous questions become elephan tine in proportions. The Trade Review just issued by the Augusta Chronicle is a valuable and a splendid production, thirty- two pages, handsomely printed and beautifully illustrated. It is full of statistical information of the progress and growth of Augusta, and is quite as much a credit to the city where it is published as to the enterprising publishers. The Hon. George H. Barger, chair man of the Ohio Democratic State committee, denies the report started by the Republicans that the Demo crats carried the State by the use of money from the -East. Mr. Barger says that not one dollar came from the East or any point of the compass, except from Ohio Democrats and candidates for legitimate campaign purposes. They had no corruption fund.

To the Editor of the Observer: All good people are rejoiced to see the efforts making almost every where in christian lands to commem orate the 400th anniversar-1 of the birth of the immortal Luther. We are particularly gratified that the united Lutheran Synod of North Car olina havo resolved to commemorate this grand event in a becoming, lib eral spirit. The exercises are to be under the direction of the Lutherans, but all Evangelical churches are in vited to participate. This is as it should je. While the universal world is gradually coming together in the spread of knowledge,p litical freedom and broad ideas of trade and com merce, it is meet and proper that the true followers of Christ should move and then unite together in the glori ous brotherhood of Him who came as 466 I the Prince of Peace and proclaimed 1.762 1.126 I lisrht and hbertv to all the earth. , 1,600 1,435 yet this is just what the sectarians 1.517 1;419 of modern christians are loath to , 2,091 1,665 do. While all classes of society and . 5,760 2,428 all occupations of life can occasionally , 2,560 1,646 unite and mingle agreeably together - in the various festivities of our time, .26,049 17,260 it remains for the church of the one God to stand apart. This is not as it should be. A diversity of creeds and churches is not only unavoidable, but necessary and desirable. But still, once in a while, we are called upon to give up our prejudices and prepossessions, to lay aside all passion and hate. This is not only a duty, but one of the surest means of teaching us true hu mility and real christian love. In fact, it is the only way to train and prepare God's people for the coming millennium, when all shall "dwell to gether in unity." Surely no more fit occasion could be found for this coming together Of the brotherhood of Christ than the commemoration of the great reformer He did not hestate to grasp the hand of any true follower of Jesus.. In his mighty struggle he welcomed all into the f oM, and it was his clarion voice that roused the nations, and still car ries the christian banner aloft. Cram A Wile's Solt Answer. AVw York Lie. Twas past twelve at midnight when he rolled home and prepared to concoct some story for the late ness of his return. She, however, was awake, and with sharp scented nose detected an odor of gin.;" What smell is that, my dear?" fshe remark ed. "Cloves, my love." "Uuttne otn er odor, sir?" "Allspice, my sweet." 4 'But I smell something else. " "Oh, that's cinnamon." "But I am certain I smell something that isn't spice at all." "Oh that's an apple I ate before I came in." "Well, I should think." she replied, "that if you'd just take a good drink of brandy before you came in and eaten a ham sandwich you would have had all the ingredi ent necessary for a good mince pie." He sighed as he dropped to sleep ana murmured that he'd have doneso if he hadn't been afraid of bad dreams. This is an increase in three years of 77R9 milfis one auarter of the in crease for the whole country. Our interviews with Govs. Thomp son, of South Carolina, Jarvis, of North Carolina, and McDaniel, of Georgia, give a full history of the de velpment of cotton manufacturing in the South; such a perfect picture of this new Soutnern industry, placing the facts before .the world, the in crease in mills, the large dividends paid, that all the arguments of the New England millmen will be as nothing agahisf; these overwhelming arguments of facts and figures. Ana here, again, the census figures are out of date, so rapid has been the develop-, ment of the Southern States,although they showed wonderful growth in cotton mills from 1870, the period of fho moat, extraordinary nroeress. par ticularly, cottqp manufactures, fol lowed the Atlanta, Exposition, and namti after the census was taken. . . . . . . . i .i , i Here is a picture or tour years or i mer, Ualvin, Wesley ana oiner iouna Effect el the CiTil Rights Decision. The first public action since the Supreme court decided against the constitutionality of the civil rights law is that taken by Senator Brown, of Georgia, as President of the State road of Georgia and head of the Geor gia syndicate. 'He has announced that the policy he proposes to pursue in respect to persons or Dotn races traveling on the Western and Atlan tic Eailroad is to provide separate cars for the whites and blacks, with as comfortable accommodation for the colored people paying the same price as that provided for the white. But while making this arrangement, he states that he will be more careful than ever to see that the colored peo ple have their full rights on the trains. The conductors will be ordered neith er to permit white people to intrude upon colored nor the latter upon the white. In all other respects they are to be treated alike.

Of the party who threw a rock into the passenger coach of the local freight, on October 19th, m-ar Mulcahy Station.
