The South has Done More Than any Other Section to Make American History. The bitter attack of some of the Nor thern papers on the use of school histo ries of the United States by Southern au thors in Southern schools is fully met by a paper prepared for the Southern Edu cational Association, by Rev. Dr. J. Wil liam Jones, of Miller School, Va., chaplain-general of the United Confederate Veterans' Association. 'The paper of Dr. Jones was written before these at tacks were made, and had therefore no reference1 to them. But it fully meets the points made by these sectional and partisan utterances. After referring to the impoitance of the study of American history in schools and colleges and of establishing chairs devoted to that subject, Dr. Jones calls attention to the special claims of our national history for consideration in the South. The South, he points out, has done more than any other section to make American history. The first permanent English colony established on this conti nent was at Jamestown, in Virginia. In the Indian wars Virginia, the Carolinas, Maryland and Georgia bore their full share. In the struggle for independence Patrick Henry led the first public and pronounced opposition to the rule of Great Britain in his resolution against the stamp act in the Virginia House of Bur gesses and his famous burst of patriotic eloquence. The first blood of the Revo lution was shed, not at Lexington, Mass., but May 16,1771, at Alamance, N. C. At Charlotte, Mecklenburg count', N. C, a Declaration of Independence was adopt ed on the 20th of Mav, 1775, more than a year before that adopted by the Conti uental Congress at Philadelphia. North Carolina instructed her delegation to vote for a Declaration of Independ ence, if one should be offered in Congress; Virginia instructed her dele gation to move a Declaration of Independ ence, and - accordingly Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, made the motion which resulted in the immortal document which Thomas Jefferson wrote. In the war which followed not only did George Washington lead the' armies of the colonics, but oificial figures show that the Southern colonies furnished a much larger proportion of the troops who won the independence of the country than the Northern colonies. Southern statesmen were conspicuous in formu lating and having adopted the constitu tion which emanated from the convention of 177S. Old Virginia gave as a free gift to the Union her "North-western Terri tory," out of which the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon sin were afterward carved; North Caroli na gave the territory wlncii altervvara constituted the State of Tennessee, and Georgia donated what became the States of Alabama and Mississippi. I'rum tli formation of the Union to i860 the South always -led in the great events of 'American history. In the war of 1S12 the soldiers who won most laurels were Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, and William Henry Harrison, of Virginia, and in the Mexican war the commanders cf both of our armies (Tay lor and Scott) were Southerners; the ma jority of the brilliant officers they gath ered around them, such as JelTerson Da vis, Albert Sidney Johnson, Robert E. Lee, T. J. Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, ohn B. Magruder, G. T. Beauregard, A. P. Hill and others were Southerners, while a very large proportion of the rank and file of our armies were from the Southern States. From Washington to Grant, a period of eighty years, Southern-born men filled the Presidency of the United States for fifty-seven years and Northern men for only twenty-three years, while Southern men filled the office of chief justice of the Supreme Court for sixty-three years and were always prominent in the Cabi net, the Senate, the House of Represent atives, and foreign ministers and in eve- specimens of the baoktjiaker'a art. In the colonial history they grossly misrepresent the character and motives and history of the Southern colonist,- and eicalt the settlers of the New England and Middle States, to the disparagement of those of Maryland, Virginia, the Caro linas and Georgia. In the account of the Revolution they make the most of tlit "Boston tea party," where men so com pletely disguised as Mohawk Indians that they were -not known at the time and whose,, names perish threw the obnoxious tea into Boston harbor, but they fail to tell of the "tea party" at Annapolis, Md., where in broad daylight and undisguised men towed the tea ship. "Peggy Stewart" out into the harbor and burned her and her cargo to the water's edge; or the "tea party" at Wilmington, N. C, where men without disguise, their names coming down to us, pitched overboard the tea brought to the port. They write as if the war was fought chiefly by the North, What the South has Done and is Doing. Wilmington Mesrierger. - The North is even now trying to make it appear that there is noth ing to fear in Southern rivalry in cotton milling that it amounts to but little and so on ad nauseam. We gave a sample of this foolish talk lately.- In the mean time it is certain the South is pressing on and at present the only part of the country showing great activity in enlarging mills and construct ing new ones is in this very de spised and misrepresented South. The trade jourals report great pro gress. Of course, much, that is reported does not materialize, but there is a great deal of solid basis to the reports as , whole. The ignoring the fact that the South not only OULllu l!j a grea section, wnn ex furnished the most men bit sent them to . i roi'diiiary advantages, and offers 9 1 Did Yon Know s The long drawn out contest for United States Senator in the Kentucky Legislature was settlec last Wednesday by the- election of Wm. J. Deboe, Republican, of Crittenden county, as the success or of Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn, the present Democratic Senator. The A charges of fraud against Dr. Hun ter, the first caucus nominee of le Republicans, forced his Boston and to New York and New Jersey, shedding Southern blood 011 every battle field of the war. They tell glowing stories of Israel Put nam and other Northern heroes, but have little to say of Sumter, Marion, Pickens, 'Light Horse Harry" Lee, Morgan, Lewis or George Rogers Clark, who, with his Virginia volunteers, conquered back the Northwestern Territory, preventing the British boundary line from extending, at the close of the war, down in Ohio, and enabled old Virginia to lay in the lap of the Union this princely domain. The same misrepresentation or system atic omission of facts characterizes the Northern historian's treatment of the slav ery question, nullification in South Caro lina and the discussion of secession and the civil war.. In regard to secession, they ignore all the historical and consti tutional theories and facts that tell against the North. They fail to tell, of course that New England had through a long period of years an unbroken record in favor of secession; that in 1S02 the legis lature of Massachusetts passed an act to the effect that the purchase and annexa tion ot Louisiana would be a sufficient cause for the dissolution of the Union and absolve the old States from their alle giance to the Union; that during the war of 1S12 the New England States not only nullified laws of Congress for the prose cution of the w'ar, but from pulpit, press and rostrum boldly advocated secession until the agitation culminated in the famous Hartford convention, held De ccnlber 15, 1S14, in which delegates fron all of the New England States not only advocated the right of secession, but for mally resolved that the New England states woukl actually secede 11 tlic wrar was not stopped by a given day on which the convention was to reassemble, and it was only the close of the war, as far as can be seen, that prevented the actual secession of these Stales; "that"XjJiil 30, i8q, ex-President Tohn Ouincy Adams made a speech, which was heartily e: dorsed by New England, in which he said that it would be better for the States to "part in friendship from each other than to be held together by constraint, and "to form again a more perfect union by dissolving that which could not bin and to leave the separated parts to be reunited, by tiie law 01 political gravita tion to the certre," that January 24 1842, Mr. Adams presented a petition from the citizens of Haverhill, Mass., to Congress praying that it would "immediately adopt measures peaceably to dissolve the union of these States," and assigning seven reasons for such action, and that when Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, offered reso lutions censuring Mr. Adams for present ing such a petition the question w-as de bated for two weeks, Mr. Adams ably defending himselt 111 secession speeches which would have done credit to William L. Yancey or Robert Toombs, and th House ot Representatives by an over- ast opportunities to investors It needs friendly legislation, but not of the robber sort. Repre- entative'Jolin L. McLaurin made very instructive and useful speech in the House recently. -He is of South Carolina, and what he aid concerning the opportunities and advantages of this great sec- ion was "timely, instructive and interesting. It has attracted at- ention in the North as well as in the South. What he said is not yjsitively new to well informed Southrons, but it will instruct the great, body of the people in all the ections if generally read." -We cannot undertake to quote .at much length, but there are a few joints gathered here and there that may not be overlooked. There are 183,000,000 acres of virgin for ests in the South, and the timber is in great variety pine, walnut lickory, oak, cypress, cherry and so on. lie says tnat mere are "enormous stores of granite, mar ble and sandstone; phosphate rock in wonderful abundance, and in some places, as he learns, coal iron ore and limestone close to gether in the same range, a con dition that exists nowhere else in the world.' "Last year's cotton crop of the South was 9,687,000 bales, or 82 per cent, of the whole world's pro duction, and 'brought more money from abroad than all other agri cultural products combined.' The total cotton production since .1790 at its 'price in gold each year, is reckoned at $15,000,000,000 in exacter figures, at $14,998,588,430. The exports alone for the. century or since 1795, have brought, us $10,400,000,000. Last year the South produced 629, 392,561 pound.s of sugar, 28,017,076 gallons of molasses, and 158,665,440 pounds of rice, although of each of these articles far more was imported "Manufactures are growing enor mously at the South." It is claimed that, they doubled in the decade, 1880-90, and have nearly doubled already since 1890. The .capital invested is put at $120, 000.000. "In 1880 the cotton seed oil capital was $3,500,000, and now it is over $30,000,000; in 1880 flaying politics and looking after offices that it blundered conspicu ously in much of its legislation and blundered seriously, too.

This was the position that Gov ernor Russell took in his manda mus proceeding against Auditor Ayer, and this is the position that the Supreme Court by a vote of three to two sustains. Chief Jus tice Faireloth and Associate Justices- ijiohtgomery and Furches concur in this opinion, and Asso ciate Justices Clark and Douglas dissent . ' . - ; . The opinion holds that inas much as the act violates the con stitutional equation that part of it is null and void, and the tax must stand as provided for in the machinery act of 1895, which re mains unrepealed, that is 43 cents on the $100 of property and $1.29 on the poll. It is estimated that the reduc tion in revenue in consequence of this will cause a los3 to the State of somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000, which will make it im Xjossible for the State Treasurer to meet any ot the extra appropria tions, and make close shaving nec essary to provide for the ordinary expenses. But even if there had been no hitch in this matter, and the full amount of taxes provided for had been collected, the Treas urer would not then have had enough to meet the appropriations and would have been compelled to j. ir. zeh.in at co.
