MOVING SOUTHWARD.
i ' s boon observed that in the
past ? \ months there has boon a
decided increase in the number
of people moving into the South
from other sections of the Union?
more particularly from the West and
the Northwest. These newcomers
have moved sometimes in companies,
showing their eh a ? go of residence to
have been made only after consultation
and after some comparison of
the attractions of dill'erent portions
of the eountrv. Ilosidcs those, mini
hers of heads of families, each possessed
of some pioperty at least, have
come into the South, here to make
their homes.
The circumstances <>1' this coming
of people from other sections into
the South must interest us chiefly as
suggesting the endeavor, on the part
of the Southern people, to prevent,
as tar as their elforts mav prevent,
the operation of anv of the causes
which, in other sections, have induced
these people to "plit their
homes. They should find prompt
and full performance of our 'nouiise
to give all such immigrants a hearty
and honest welcome. They should
he made to realize their expectations
of perfect freedom in business a:ul in
polities. They should stiller none of
the isolation which the reserve o!
lli'> Southern people is t??<? much
eah'ulated to hrinjj ;i|> hi outsiders
enuiiinjr to live aiii'ini; them. Nut
that, there Ii:i3 heon any lallini: oil'in
Southern hospitality, hut that the
course of events since the war lias
made Southerners sensitive la the extent
that before making friends of
strangers they must ho assured that
these latter are themselves friendly.
Above all. there should he the
determination to treat these settlers
with the utmost fairness in every
transaction. Any apparent tendency
to -peculate either on their necessities
or on their lack of ae-juaintanee
with matters in this part < the
e.omtry would soon have it- etfeet in
keeping away people who mi^ht
otherwise come anion"; us. It is cs
I?t*c::i 1 ly important that ail our people
so demean tliciu^elvt*s t < strangers
that the-e latter shall experience
none ?the hardships of politic.i! intolerance.
1 here should lie accorded
to all men, ami uiore especially to
the men who may hold political \ iews
ilillei'eiit iroin tln?se ol thcgre.it ! ?xly I
of Southern whites, the utin?<st freedom
of thought, speech ami action.
Anv other policy must he fatal in its
effects upon any effort to bring
desirable settler.- into the South. Anything
like intolerance, in matter- of
opinion, would go far to e-tahlisii. in
the minds of the very classes of people
win m we would have among us.
the truth of the charge made by
some papers and politicians?that
the Northern or the Western man
is not safe here who has political
convictions of his own.
It is to he notcil that in the ?jcneial
movement of new population into
the Southern States, there is
practically 110 part of it directed
towards South Carolina. Causes
for this condition must bo found elsewhere
than in any lack of inducement
in the shape of natural advantages.
The principal of these ea uses
i> the absence of proper advertisement
of those advantages. Such
advertisement is properly within the
sphere of the State ooveriiincnl.
Citizens and eorporationsstand ready
to do all that they cat:. I>111 tInstate
government should at least
provide the agencies which enterprising
companies or citizens niav
employ. '/'//< Stdtr.

TIIE HOME AND STATE,
Discussed by
Miss Elizabeth U. Yates,
ot' Maine, an Advocate of
Woman Suffrage.
If ever the old granite court
house of Union was perplexed and
amazed and halting between two
opinions, whether itself were beside
itself or the people had gone crazy,
it must have been last Friday night,
w hen a well dressed, handsome lady
teok her position on that part of the
room which lias been set apart, exclusively,
for the wisest of the wise
ami the sugest of the sage, and commenced
to "talk in public" to the
fair sex, the business men and the
elite of the town generally, who occupied
promiseuosly, seats that are accustomed
to groan beneath a weight of ,
ignorance or blackness or crime, or
perchance had accommodated honest ,
jurors or even astute and sharp counsel.
It was the occasion of the
address of Mi<s Yates to the people \
of Union on the question of Woman's t
Jlights and every available seat in ]
historic old room was occupied, and
even the aisles were filled with eager (
listeners. The l^rge turn out of the
best ladies of the.town showed that
they were not. entirely indifferent to
the cause thai Miss Yates was advocating,
although many came no doubt
from purr euriostiv. j
Wo would n<?t attempt to give till j
..r Miss Yates' speech as it was quite j
j lenghthy. It was mainly a reply to j
the arguments that are generally (
made against woman suffcragc and
must necessarily have been subs tan- j
tially what many of us have heard )
before. They wcr^iyjfc stale however j
when she gave them t?? us, as she had i t
dressed tlietn out in new colors and I ,
by her sparkling wit and keen hu- ;
iiiour showed them to the very best
advantage. She was applauded again ;
and again, the novelty <>1 a woman ,
i speaker soon passed away, and by >
iho time -he had gotten well into her ;

THE OTHER SIDE.
Some Women Prefer
Their Own Sphere.
A prominent lady of our town requests
us to publish the following
extracts from a long article against
Woman Suffrage 111 the New York
Sun:
"Some New York women have for-,
mod an association to onnose the wo
k k
man suffrage movement, and to ascertain
so far as possible the real
attitude of the women of New York
State toward the extension of the
franchise. Meetings have been held
at the residence of Mrs. Abram S.
Hewitt and Mrs. F. L. Stetson.
'The association has not yet adopted
a constitution, but it has chosen an
executive committee for the management
of its affairs, and is fairly and
openly in the field. Mrs. Francis'
M. Scott is the chairman of the executive
committee, and Mrs David
II. Greer, Mrs. Schuyler Van liensdealer,
Mrs- Everette l\ Wheeler,
Miss luorcnce .Lockwood, and .Mrs. i
Elihu Root arc her assistants. Mrs.
George White Field is treasure of
the association and Mrs George l'hillips
secretary.
It is the purpose of the association to
establish branches all over .New York
iState, and arouse the interest of the
women who have hithciio given woman
suffrage little consideration

Cost Of a Halo Ot Cotton.
Mr. John \Y. JSiarnes, one of Tipton's
farmers, cultivated thirty-five
acres in cotton lust year and made
twenty-one bales. The total cost,
including rent, feed of team, labor,
picking, ginning, hauling to market,
etc., amounted to 3H50.50. lie sold
his cotton in Memphis and received
3525?thus losing 31-5.50 on the
year's work. .'dr. ^tarries nlaces
| Lis land rent at ?-1 pel* acre, which
is entirely too much if cultivated in
cotton. Xow if the land is actually
d>vorth the amount paid it must be for
some other crop, and being a tanner
he should learn what that crop is,
and devote his labor to it. But we
fear our friend & tunics will continue
to raise cotton on bis 4-dollar land
and loose another S12o. The casual
reader will conclude from the foregoing
statement that Mr. S. was actually
$125 behind on the year's work,
and lie is if he only made the 21
bales of cotton, lie says nothing
about the corn, peas, potatoes, sorgum,
vegetables, butter, milk, hogs,
etc., that his team and labor made
while niakinir the cotton?ail of which
went to feed 11is wile ami children,
and which was worth fully the $125
if he had it all to buy. Summing
the whole thing up, and comparing
his Condition with thousands upon
thousands who arc not fanners, and
who are dependent on the business
prosperity of the country (of which
there is none) for a living, Mr. Sturnes
is hound to admit that lie still
belongs to the favored class?and all
because lie has an occupation by
which he can make a living.?
