COMING TO THE SOUTH.
REMARKABLE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION
FR0M THE NORTHWEST.
Reporig received by the Southern
and Northwestern Industrial Asso
ciation, from the genenl offices and
front var'ous outside points east ot
tho Mis isippi, show a remarkable
tideof immigration from the North
west to the South since tho holidays.
It is pointed out that tho tido ot
immigration from tho Northwest
has been an important factor in
turning large portion bf Southern
trade from East to the orthwet
Southern retail merchants in the
acHctiltiital districts teport a fairly
active demand from new customers
for new brands of merchandise,
such s Agricultural implements,
vehicle, household goods and put-
eerie not handled in tho South.
Inquiry on this line reveals the laet
that these new custoimrs are is
tern farmers who have recently
come South and naturally ask for
the brand of good with which they
have been familiar in tho V est
This fact lu.i eaiised a number of
small purchases to be made in Chi
cairo bv Southern merchants who
have never befure used the western
markets except for grain and food
products.
A number of minor industries
are leing located in the South by
Western people, kepreseiitatives
of the various professions from tho
iSorthwest are looking tor new
locations in the South and current
events si cm to favor a close politi
cal and industrial alliance of the
Son ill and the Northwest. It is
estimated that a very largo per
cent, of the Southern trade will go
tjthe Northwest during the next
season, particularly in the lino oi
agricultural implements. All of
the Southern railioads are giving
seciai attention to immigration
and offer literal inducements in the
way of red need rates. N o I ess t h an
live hundred land agents have gone
from the Soirhern States since
January 1st, for the purpose of
presenting the advantages ot dit
ferent localities and inducing home
seekers Irotn the iNorttiwest to lo
cate in tho South, (hit ot sixty
six counties in Alabaun, forty ra-
noit tho presence of agents from
the Northwcw', who have been sent
out to examine land and tho general
conditions in the South.
A large percentage ot tho new
settlers in tho .Northwest arc Grand
Army men and this fact will show
a heavy increase in the pension
payments lor the next year in the
Southern States. At present the
aggregate of tho pension payments
in the Southern States is hardly six
pur cent, of the total of the country.
Should immigration to the South
from the Northwest continue the
increase in pension disbursements
for the Southern States for the
next fiscal year will probably show
a gain of fully five percent , making
the total abont $ 15,000,000, or ten
per cent, of the whole.

at lila home in Oxford, Ga., on the

W. W. Duncan, of South Carolina,
conducted the funeral services.
Atticns Green Haygood was born

It), 1839. He was graduated at
Emory College, Ga,, in 1859, and
licensed to preach in the Methodist
Episcopal Church in tho sanioycar.
From 1870 to 1875 ho edited the
Sunday-school publication of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
and in 1870 was elected president of
Emory College whcre he remained
eight years. In 18P-3 he was ap-
Eointed general sgjtit of tho John
'.. Slater fund foi- tho education of
colored youth in tho Southern
States, and devoted himself to that

Death Blow to Blacklisting.
In tho United States Circuit court
at Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday a ver
dict for $1,750 was rendered againet
the Honda hast Coast railway (the
r lagler system) for blacklisting .
E. Willets. Ten months ago Wil
lets, who is a citizen of Greenfield,
Ind., was a conductor on the Eact
Coast road. Being offered a better
paying position on the South Flor
ida railway, lie left 'he East Coast
road on two days' notice. Willets
went to work on the South Florida
road and in three days was discharg
ed, no cause being assigned. Wil
lets inquired into the matter and
learned that ho was discharged be
cause Superintendent Goff, of the
F.aat Coast road, had sent a circu
lar letter to the official of the other
Florida railway asking that Willets
bo not employed. No charge was
made, that Willets was incompetent
or had failed to give satisfaction to
the .Last Coast road. It was a sim
ple request that ho be blacklisted.
Since the letter was written Willets
has applied tor work to every rail
way in Florida, but in vain. In
consequence he brought suit against
the East Coast railway lor $10,000,
which resulted as stated above. The
defense claimed that God, the super
intendent, who wrote the circular,
was alone rosjwnsible for his action
and not the road. The conrt hti
that Goff, the superintendent, was
the corporation's agent and that it
was responsible for his acts.
Maj. Alex. St. Clair Abrams rep
resented the plaintiff and he says
the result will be a death blow to
the blacklist system in Florida.
This is said to be the first case ot the
kind in which a verdict has been
secured against a railroad company
tor blacklisting a man.
Cape Fsar and Yadkin Valley.
Negotiutions pending for the nec
essary funds to carry out the Balti

erty will, ;t is believed, be granted
by Judge Simonton, of the United
States Circuit Court, this month or
early m February. Confidence in
tho success of the plan is expressed
by the Baltimore committoe.
A report showing the earnings of
the road and the expenditure lor

A NICE MAIL-BAG ROMANCE,
IN WHICH CONGRESSMAN CULBERSON,
OF TEXAS, TOOK A HAND.
Romances are snrii.ging up cott
statitlv in tho most unbooked for
plricws. Mere is i story of one told
by Reprefentrttivo Culberson, of
Texas:
"Somo months ago a lady called
on me with an appeal to help her to
securo a place in tho Government
service anything to support her
self and her deicndont parents She
was from my State, and I soon cs
tauhshed the tact that sho was a
lady in every particular, cultured,
and at the same time remarkably
beautiful. Her story impressed
me, and so did her appearance, and
I undertook to find her a position.
I made a round cf all tho depart
ments, but everywhere I tan up
against the civil service ghost, and
as a final resort compromised upon
a place in the general Post Office
Department at $35 a month, tewing
mail bags. It's one of tho hardest
pUces in tho government depart
ment. It was not the sort of place
I caed to offer her, but it was all
I could gt ; end sho accepted it
gladly rather than bo without any
thing. "She had not been in the depart
ment hng Inifore she became a
general favorite. Her ways caught
everybody. They also enmeshed
tho heart of a geltlcman of high
standing and a good deal ot wealth,
who used to visit the department on
business, accidentally became ac
quainted wi'.h my protege and fell
in love with her. lie com ted her
fcr a while and then proposed. She
accepted him, and tonight I'm to
bo the guest of honor on the oc
casion of her marriage, for you see
if it hadn't been for me she would
not have got into tho mailing de
partment, and ho would never have
met and proposed to her. So I say
we often make ourselves happy by
contributing to the happines of
others "
Locomotive Explodes While at Full Speed.
News is received from South
Charleston, Ohio, of the 2'2d inst.,
which gives the shocking details ot
the explosion of an engine : Pas
senger train No. 21 on tho Pan
handle was wrecked. The train was
running sixty miles an hour when
the engine blew np with a report
that was heard for three miles, in
stantly killing Engineer Clark
Trimble and Fireman Waters. The
train carried nine coaches, with two
mail coaches, being the through
train trom New York to St. Louis.
The wreck was the worst ever on
this section of the road. The cars
were piled up and one mail car was
thrown into an adjoining field. A
number of passengers were b;tdly
bruised, but none fatally injured.

A NEW LIGHT.
1.
t'nivoreity of Vnrzbnrg, is credit
ed with tho discovery oi a new
light hv the means of which the
bones ot the human body, and, pro
siimably, any other part, can lie
fhotographed through the flesh,
t appears that this scientist has
been experimenting with a light
derived from radiant heat by means
of Crook a tubes. 1 lie Crook tube
is a vacutn glass through which an
electric induction current passes
whose rays, the product of intense
heat, are thrown upon the object
which it is desired to photograph.
The New York Journal describes
results obtained by tho professor
that are, even in this ago of won
ders, decidedly astonishing.
"He photographed a man's anklo
in which a bullet Tas imbedded,
showing the bullet just where it
was lodged. He photographed a
leather purse, showing tho money
in it with perfect distinctness. A
human hand was subjected to the
ravs, and tho result was a picture
of its bones, with tho envelope ot
iiesti only a shadowy form around
them. Tiio most startling exicri-
ment wss the photograph of a young
man beside a young woman, which
showed nothing but a skeleton form.
It is also said that an iron weight
was photographed through a box,
the box diaptiearinain the picture."

achievements in science, it may be
used for evil as well as pood "pnr
poses. Edison says it will put an
end to vivisection, for there will !e

Cotton Growers Association,
The Convention of Cotton Pro
ducers, called by President II. 1).
Lane, of the American Cotton
Growers' Protective Association,
to take action to effect a continua
tion of decreased acreage, met in
Memphis, Tenn., last wct-k. Fully
one thousand delegates were in the
hall at one time. Prominent plant
ers from every cotton producing
State wer in attendance.
The report of committee on res
olutions declares that tho overpro
duction of cotton reduces the value
of that commodity far below the
cot-t of making it, and continues :
"The Southern cotton growers are
mastc:s of the situation. The crop
of 1SS)5 being less than Stven mil
lion bait a l enders it entirely feasi
ble by a further and reasonable re
duction of acreage during the pres
ent year to materially advance the
value of cotton and thus insure a
safe and substantial profit that can
not tail to bring increased prosper
ity to the South, not only astheim
mediate result of snch profit, but
by enhancing the value of our lands
and tnrrdng hither (he tide of im
migration, mneh needed for the de
velopment of the great natural re
sources of this favored section."
The resolution also urges the pro
duction of an abundant snpply of
corn, hay, meat and other like com
modities for homo consumption.

powered to take such steps as may
be deemed advisable for the estab
libhment of an official organ of the

Don't worry. Don't ran in debt.
Don't trifle with your health. Don't
try experiments with medicines.
Don't waste time and money on
worthless compounds. Don't be
persuaded to take a substitute for

It is our duty and privilege to
comfort one another. No roan can
do a greater work than to carry
comfort to those with whom he
comes in contact while passing
through this worl l. Scatter light

so doing you will not only make

The fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla,

tor its excellence and merit.

A FATAL EXPLOSION.
Ilctween !) and 10 o'clock Tues
day, a cotton gin boiler exploded
near Mr. Gilmer's about two miles
from Cumnock, killing his ion, Mr.
James Gilmer, and Mr. Walter
Gnnter. Mr. (Jilmer himself was
badly bruised, and Mr. Gonter had
the top of his head blown off, ex
posing his brains. No other per
sons were near the boiler at the
timo o! the explosion. Three other
men narrowly escaped being killed,
as they left tho engine room about
live minutes ncfore the fata' ac
cident.
The explosion was due to tho
ignorance and carelessness of the
. l. . i I
iirciiiiiu, who iaiieu to examine a
rusty valve, through which tho wa
ter could not bo conducted into tho
boiler until after the latter had be
come hot. Tho boiler was about
forty years old and was ued to
hoist coal at Farmvillo before the
war. One end of the building was
completely wrciked and pieces of
tho boiler were thrown from fifty
to seyenty five yards from the gin.
.Mr. ttilmer was a nativeof Scot
land, but came to this country sev
eral years ago. He was hannilv
united in marriage to Miss Rosa.
daughter of Capt. Aler Wicker, an
esteemed citizen of this county.
She, with an intant child, survives
him. He was about thirty-seven
years of age. Mr. Guntcr was
about forty years of age, and is sur
vived by a wife and five or six chil
dren.
The Patriot's Mas in a Scrape.
Our travelling agent, Mr. J. F.
Taylor, had a little experience the
other day that he will not forget
soon. W hue returning from Ral
eigh on the evening passenger train
H occupied a seat adjoining that
ot a young woman with a baby.
Shortly attcr leaving the capital
the lady asked him to hold the child
while she went to another patt of
the car and the gallant old febow
accepted the youthful charge with
pleasure. Ihe train sped on to
ward Greensboro and ere long the
youngster began to grow restless,
Station after station was passed be-
tore the situation rightly dawned
on Mr. Taylor, but when it did he
broke into a cold sweat as he tried
to think of how he could explain
matters at home if tho child was
not reclaimed. Had the heartless
mother deserted her offspring ?
Well, hardly. J ust as he was abont
to appeal to the conductor the smil
ing matron reappeared on the
scene and the agony was over. It
ever two people were glad to see
anyone, he and that baby were
those two. It was one of the hap
piest reunions he ever atteneded.

Textile Mills Built Last Year.
The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter in its last issue g'ves a
list of the new textile plants started
in this country last year. Follow
ing is the number by States :
North Carolina,
Pennsylvania,
New York,
Massachusetts,
South Carolina,
Georgia,
Alabama,
Rhode Island,
Miscellaneous,
Total, 357
It will be seen that tour States
in the South, the Carolina, Geor
gia and Alabama, secured 135 of
the new mills. A majority ot the
spindles added are probably in the
South. Several of the new plants
are branch mills built in Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina by
large eastern corporations.
It is the greatest years growth
ever known in this industry, greater
by 30 per cent., than that of the
prosperous year of 1692. Last year
the Eastern and Southern mills all
paid larger dividends than for any
previous year. Tbe woolen mills
also made handsome progress dur
ing tho year.
Although, it is a fine showing.
When a town starts a cotton mill
which takes a pound of cotton
worth S cents and works it into
fabrics worth SO cents, that com
munity is on the road to prosperity.

ot a paper which had been making
a groat deal ol Inns about the action
ot the President called at the White

dent. Private Secretary Thnrberin tak
ing the card at-ked what tho corre
spondent wanted to seo tho Prosi
dent alntut. The correspondent re
plied : "1 want to get the truth
almut this bond iwme."
When Thurlfor presented the card
Mr. Cleveland aked what the corre
spondent wanted to know, Thurber
repeated the correspondent's mess
age. Mr. Cleveland turned to Sec
retary Carlisle, with whom ho was
chatting, and said quizzically : "I
wonder what in the world that fel
low wants with the truth !"
Mr. Carlisle replied in a studied
manner: "I don't know nniess
ho wishes to avoid publishing it by
mistake." New York Tribune.
