In encouraging. Col. McClare, in the - days of the war, was very near to Presl dent Abraham Lincoln, and perhaps caught from that true friend of the South some of the friendly spirit for oar section which has made him such a sympathizer and benefactor to us in our , -efforts to repair the broken fortunes of the war. Mr. Atkinson, earnest in advocating the material advancement of the entire country, has never failed to advise the bouth wisely, and to prophecy her fu ture prosperity. In addressing the At . linta Exposition, directors the other day, he said: "I know of no section where there is greater wealth of resources. You have everything here. I am reminded of an old, white haired man who lives in Brooklyn.. I knew him long ago. One morning Father Keeny, in making his Sun day remarks, leaned over the altar and said to ths congretation: 'You people ought to be good. You have paradise nsre aoout you. "And I say to you people of the Bouth, that yoju ought to be progressive You nave everything that you could aemana aooot you. in is exposi- . on is a glorious acmevement for the South. It may not be as large as other expositions, out bigness is nothing. ni you want is quality, ana you have that here. You have all you de sire. It is a m is take to say that cotton is exhausted. I have said that if you give us people up ixortn your cotton wltn the fiber and the seed taken away we could still make a fortune. The stalk of the cotton plant is yet to be de veloped and its uses made known. Then the root is left, and that possesses wunuenui possiDiiities. The Constitution continues the port of his speech as follows: Mr. Atkinson said, that it was his opinion mat the South was just on the verge of a great era in the improvement in cotton. He had experimented him self. He thought that under the school ing or low pnoes cotton would in every way reach its highest potential. The true metnoa or dealing with cotton was placing it in the cylindrical form aiier 11 was ginned. This was a secret which the people should learn and were learning. air.

The eye of the continent is on you. You of the South have all you wish at your command." Referring to the work of the negro, Mr. Atkinson said that the problem would work out all right in the South. He said he had no fear for the future of the negro. The placing of Washing ton as one of the opening day orators was a great tribute to Southern liber ality. We welcome from such faithful friends as Atkinson and McClure ex pressions of approbation of efforts, or words of reproof if we come carelessly or negligently short of our duty. THE SOUIH'S WKLCOMK 8HOCLD BS CORDIAL. Orover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, and com-mander-in-ehief of the army and navy, will pass through Charlotte abont 9 o'clock Tuesday morning on his way to the Atlanta Exposition. It behooves the cltiaena of this bailiwick to be present at the station at that hour and give the nation's chie executive word of greeting. It would, indeed, ill become the people of the South, in representative way at the Atlanta Ex .. position, not to accord the President royal welcome. Cleveland has been more nearly a President of the South than any man since the surrender. It is because he is the President of the - whole country, the President of the Union, with a love for his people as broad as the limits of his mighty na tion. It is well here to quote from the lamented Lamar's eulogy of Cleveland's administration. .Referring to the peo- . pie of the South, he said "It has secured them rest from the disturbing conditions from which they eu dtou sunenng ever since tne war. It baa permitted the development, un- ; .'-vexea ana unrretted, of the material resources or the South, and I regard the freedom from hostile interference with the natural and orderly working of local institutions and the ordinary avo cations of the people and the perfeot feeling of security and rest as among the important causes of the industrial development in the Southern States which has become so apparent during the past, four years, Under orevion i administrations the Southern people had been led to look only for such treat ment as might proceed fr m a spirit of hostility and mistrust. They were con stantly harassed by a policy which re garded them not aa a component part of the American people, but as a comma; nitv a Dart which m kn iv constant suspicion and to De treated .only with repression. Thejr felt that their patriotism was questioned; chat ""J wcre perniHiea to particiDate in public affairs only oo sufferance. Mr. Cleveland's idminiatntin. -ais nominating distinction has been , unknown. Tbey are profoundly grate ful to the President, not for any special marks of favor,, but '- because he has , given them peace." Cleveland has recognized the men of the South as capable of holding posi tion of the highest trust in the nation's limes oas ne layered Southern soil with his presence, and h wui una this time that much of him as ever. la th Bistarr r the Weather B Tken Au SmsHo Sacb Drought Ob server Dothtr Says 80,. . As the dry a weather which - has pre vailed In this section, for the past two months continues from day to day with no apparent signs of any change, and as the conditions brought about by the excessive drought have assumed such alarming proportions, a few facts bear ing on this subject would no doabt be interesting.. - " Very few: persons,- perhaps, can real ize the fact and yet it Is a fact that only forty-seven one hundredths of an inch of rain has fallen in this section since the 23rd of August, a period lack ing only a rew days or being two mil months; only forty-one one hundredths has fallen since the 1st of September, and since the 13th of September the remarkably small amount of only nine one hundredths of an inch has fallen. The total amount of rain which has fallen for' the past two mdnths-Mess than a half an inch has come in such light showers, and at such intermittent periods, that we have, , so far as any beneficial and lasting results are con cerned, been practically without ra,n for the period named. The heaviest shower of rain which has fallen since the 23rd of August was on the 5th of September, when 0.15 of an inch fell, the other showers ranging in quantity rrom only a trace to o.ua of an inch. The heaviest one of these showers was only sufficient to moisten the surface ground, and each or tne others was or a quantity so itstgnifloant- that, with bright sunshine, the ground was prob ably dry in three or four hours after the shower had passed. The deficiency in rainfall since the 23rd of August has been 6.57 inches; since September 1st, 5.20 inches; since October 1st, 2.08 inches, and since January 1st, 1J.69 inches. It will be seen, therefore, that' over half of the deficiency for the entire year, has oc curred with the past two months. The present drought is undoubtedly unparalleled in the history of the Weather Bureau, tne records not show ing anything to com pare with it, and it is believed that if the reoords ex tended back for a period of 50 or even 100 years, that no such excessive drought could be shown. One of the greatest factors in pro ducing the seasonal rainfall during the autumnal months, is the passage, near this section, of the West Indian or Ouif storms popularly, but erroneously termed vequmoctical storms." These storms come up usually from the Gulf, bringing with them the warm moist tu re-laden air from the equatorial re gion, and as they pass over the land this moisture is precipitated by con tact with the colder currents of air from the more northerly districts, and a copious rainfall occurs, generally over the entire eastern portion of the coun try. This year, it will be noticed, we have had none of these storms, and this fact undoubtedly accounts, in a great measure, for the unusually dry weather of the past two months. There is also another factor which has figured largely in previous precipitation, and that is the continued passage of high areas or0 pressure across the central portion of the country, a condition which tends to force the low or rain- producing areas, which form over the western districts and pass to the east ward across the country, well to the northern border,' and what precipita tion is produced by these storm areas is consequently received over the lake region and adjacent districts. This drought is not confined to this particular looality, but prevails to a greater or less extent over almost the entire country from the lake region southward to the gulf, and it Is more than probable that the need of rain is being felt in all sections east of the Rocky mountains. The questions which now naturally arise, and which are asked by almost every one, are these: What are the prospects for rain? and when Is it likely to rain? To the first question the an-1 swer must be given that the prospects at present are certainly not favorable for any immediate change in -the pres ent conditions, but rather favor a con tinuation of dry weather for several days. An area of high pressure is now passing across the central portion of the country, and dominating the weather condition in all sections, and this means dry, cool weather until it passes off to the eastward so far that its influence will be lost to this section. The second question as to when it is likely to rain is very difficult to answer, yet there is every reason to. believe that berore the end of the present month the drought will be effectually broken. A storm is liable to move up from the Gulf; a low pressure area may form over the southwest and move eastward, or a sudden and severe cold-wave may come down from the northeast, any one of which would be more than likelv to give us a good rainfall. Besides, the dry weather has continued so long that it seems reasonably certain that nature win soon begin to brine about the even ing up which inevitably follows all Additional Iateroa Bevonaes AdvJa ;.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 17. The Iron Trade Review of yesterday says: Quiet ness, unequalled in months, has marked the iron trade the past week so far as buying is concerned. At the same time mills are shipping enormous amounts of material and the current output of blast furnaces, all going into immedi ate consumption, is the largest in three years. While the current rate of pig iron productions is equivalent to a year ly output or irom iu.duu.uou to 11,500, 000 according as the Eastern or West era statistics of active furnaces October 1st, are taken there was not a net reuucuuD 01 m,wu tons in un sold stocks of coke Iron, in the month or September. This heavy con sumption supports the belief that the want of the past four weeks is likely to oe greatiy prolonged. Furnaces on foundry Iron find that their customers want shipments fully up to contract rate and in many cases iron cannot be got to foundry yards fast enough. Lake Superior charcoal is probab'v the firm est factor in the market While Lake Superior furnaces have not advanced in unison, and there have been conflicting transactions in tne past two weeks, the prooaoiniy or higher prices In the com ing winter has made sellers quite firm sales have been light the past week at 810.60 to 816, with several furnaces still holding the latter figure as mini mum. Bessemer has sold in small quantities at 814 to $14 50 in the Valley, but rurnace men still refuse to take any hand on the basis of the month's sales of speculative iron. Steel billets are following the Bessemer market. Sales in a small way have been made at $11 to $21.25, Wheeling district, and at proportional prices in the Pittsburg dis trict. The separate meeting of West ern bar iion manufacturers at Pitts ourg last ween round sentiment agreed that there is a demand in the East for a change of prices, and in other lines the opinion prevails that buying would not be stimulated by lower prices. The issue of the existing uncertaintyde- peuus in a large measure on the gauge me maiviauai producers set on the business to be expected from the rail roads in the next three months.

AN AGREEMENT IN SIGHT, The Objecting Railroads Will Now Likely Join the Proposed Southern Freight As sociation. "m"r "EW . ''N M Nil iisw iukk, kjoi. iv. xnere was so other meeting of he representatives of the Southern lines at the Hotel Waldorf to-day for the purpose of making- a su preme and final effort to form the pro posed Southern freightassociation. The session began shortly before 11 o'clock and although the special conference committee had reported that it had failed in Its efforts to induce the South Carolina and Georgia roads, as well as the Clyde Line to sign the agreement, the intimation was made that opposing lines would change their attitude on certain conditions. When the renre- sentatives assembled to-day a general sentiment prevailed that an association would be formed before the close of the day. The first evidence of this long desired turn of affairs was furnished when General Manager Scott, of th Georgia Railroad, addressad the meet ing, he delivered a very emohatic ad dress, in which he outlined the objec tions of his company with regard to be coming a member of the association.
