i 5 ft F1 1 1 !' 1: n HENDERSON, X. C. TIIUUSDAY, NOV. tup: woodsy scent. Written for the Ooi.D Lkaf.J The flowers are Mack alon iny -:ithway. The merry birds huve ceased to ; Th leaves of Autumn sad ami cast 'way Their dying odors round me flin. And evermore the rain is falling. Like Summer's tears for dead delights Tht wind in whi-pers vamie is Ca H iiifz. And clouds have tin ned the days to nights. Throughout this dreary Autumn weather The woodsy fragrance still is ail That breathes .f hope-, and joys together Mem'ries of Spring dotli still lecall. Attd when we close, our eyes half sadly This scent of Nature's spicy breath Fling over us a halo gladly, And makes us dream of birth not death. MiNXihC. Dau.aiuj. The Progress of the 5outn. Durham Recorder. The Lynchburg Advance notes the fact that two significant items of news from the South apjeared a few days ago. One was that the volume of trade had increased $9,000,000 in Augusta, (ia., a city of less than 50, 000 population, during the past year; the other that a syndicate of New York capitalists had invested $600,000 in a land improvement company at Annis ton, Ala. The Advance agrees with the Wash ington Post that all this is evidence tint the South seems to have entered on a career of prosperity that is un exampled in her history. 1 here was no time previous to the war when her wealth was so great in the aggregate -r of such a diversified character as it is to-day. Her -y.stems of transportation have been v.istlv improved of late. East of ,.ie Mississippi nearly all of the lines f railway have been consolidated un- c.er the Richmond and unnvine man agement. While there may be inci dental cases ol hardship resulting to shippers from the consolidation of so many different but not always com peting line.-, there are still advantages under the new management, especial ly in the States affected just at this mo ment, that will far outweigh any in juiy done. Consolidation in this in stance means improved management, improved roads and rolling-stock, new and connecting lines, and greater fa cilities for shipment. No letter proof could be found of faith in the future of the South than the fact thai the money has been found to organize, build up, and equip the Richmond and ))anville system of more than 7,000 miles of railway. There are more unused business op portunities in the South thanany other portion of the Union. Its vast depos its of coal and iron ore, such as can be found in West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, its immense forests of pine and other merchantable timbers to be found in North Carolina, West Vir ginia and i'luiida, have hardly been touched. Great business activity and weal'h must come from these in the near future, while cotton, tobacco and sugar will le producedin increased quanti ties. Every patriotic, fair-minded citizen must rejoice that the heavy hand of misfortune that fell on the South with Mich destructive power in 1861 and lay there with .unloosened clutch for almost a quarter of a century, is at last about to lc removed. SOUTHERN FI HICKS. A Georgia lady, who, during the war, saw much of the ingenious de vices of her fair countrywomen tells how they made use of many things that grew around them to take the place of those they had been ac customed to purchase. Among other industries was the manufacture of shaker bonnets lor school girls. To make these they gathered pdm leaves and blackened them in the sun. The negro children split them into narrow stris, and these were woven on old style hand looms, and the fabric thus obtained was cut into pieces of suita ble size, then shaped and trimmed. Honnets thus made were longer than iIks? they had been accustomed to buy. Later they took the longest pine needles, dried them brown, and then wove them, ami then used this material in the same way. The strength and pliability of both thee fibres were thus practically tested, and the wonder is 'hat those lessons of experience born f necessity have not resulted in the utilization of both these fibres long be fore now. In those days also excel lent floor mattings were woven of broom sedge and of the fibres of bear grass. The latter was buried until the pulpy mrt was rotted, and then it was ex humed and anchored in swift-flowing s reams, which washed away all de cked matter and leit the loug white fibres for use. These were dyed vari ous colors and then woven. Every one who has ever tried to break strands of bear grass used for suspending meat in Southern smokehouses, knows how tough they are. As this peculiar plant, when once rooted, never dies, but re news its leaves annually, and as it flourishes on poor sandy land, and abounds in all parts of tlv? South, it would seen.i to be one of the most val uable of all her natural products, and to be a promising article for experi ments preparatory to utilization. Many other natural products might be men tioned in this connection, but tlie foregoing are enough to show that the South is rich in natural fibres that may be made foundations for numerous in dustries. It may be that among them ! ingenious investigators may find some ' superior to either jute or ramie, or to ! the many grasses now imported from distant parts of the glole for manu facturing purposes. There is unques tionably enough known to encourage practical men to give time and thought . . . c L. , r;, to the investigation of Southern nores. ! Baltimore Manvfactm cri Record. Industrial Process in North Carolica. j Durham Tobacco Plant. I In the last four years our State has maoe great strides in all industries, and has kept pace with the advance of the balance of the States of the Union, and has outstripped a great many of them in the race. The increase in value of our lands, our agricultural products, and our manufactures has been wonderfu'. J ne lact that the administration of the general govern ment was in the hands of the Demo- .1 .11.1 cratic party had a great deal to 00 with this in rease of all our industries. Hie people felt encouraged to go ahead and pu:.h themsehes to the lront and Northern capitalists felt secure in in vesti.ig their surplus money among us. Now what we have to do is to keep up this impetus ; we must not be dis heartened because our political enemies have control of the government, and feel that our efforts will be of no avail on account of opposition bom the oartv in nower. That we shall have 1 j 1 this opposition to our advancement we have no doubt ; but we must not allow that to weigh us down; on the contrary, it should spur us on to re newed vigor and greater efforts. We should feel now that we are entirely dependent on ourselves and that what advancement we make in the next four years will be made by our own exertions under adverse circumstances, and if we push forward in the next four years to the same degree we have in the past four, it will be of greater glory to us, ar.d at the end of that period we will look with greater pride on what we have clone. The political status of the country at present should not dishearten us on the contrary it should encourage us to greater deeds, and to more strenu ous efforts to keep abreast of our more favored sister States in the onward march. Let us learn to rely more upon ourselves, by increasing our agri cultural products in variety and quan tity ; by increasing our manufactures, and by all means let's buy what we need from North Carolina producers, instead of from Northern and Western markets. The South can not be kept down. She will soon rise again and regain her old position of wealth and influ ence in the Nation, and when she does, ours will be one of the foremost Stales of the South. To attain this position all we have to do is to "learn to "labor and to wait." Wo of the South can well jud what will be the bent of legislation respecting our internal affairs from the utterances of Mr. Ingalls in the Sen ale and the re-echo of his kind. There is absolutely not one ray of hope from the next Congress but in the power of the minority to produce a dead-lock and prevent Congressional action on matters adversely affecting the South ern States. The President elect is quite an able man and that is all that can be said of the situation. He is a malignant hater of the South, and we expect nothing of a kindly nature from him. The defence of the South is in the sturdy manhood and determination of her own sons. Wilminzton Messen. gcr.
