The following is the speech made today iu New York before the Ameiican-Asjatic associatlou by Senator John L. McLaurin: Twenty jears a?o the brilliant young <;eor I glao. Henry \V. Urady, stood amid the brains, the culture aud euterprise ot New England, | proclaiming that there was a new South, ami demanded recognition for her material advantage aud commercial opportunities As a lepresenlatl ve ol that "New south'' Ii thank you for this opportunity to declare I that such recognition tiasat Ihm been accord-' ed. Fire and t?word, povert> and humiii.t-l Hon, ruin and devastation followed h lot'g | and cruel war, iu which her people contended i for what to them was u sacred cause, sinpassed under the rod ot sorrow and bitter (its-1 appointment, aud yet tell no blush ot chaiiie. i With heroic res.6uatiou she bowed beneath j the galifhg yoke, sustained by an abtdiugj foith i hat deliverance would come. Prestrv-' ing her honor, patiently she waited, ready when the opportunity came to hurst her tetters and lilt herself above the ruined fortunes of a cruel late. In the midst of calamitv she looked aud marched steadily forward. Wlih a Christian trust tu right and destiny,! altera courageous and desperate struggle, the hourot her deilverttuce came. Her peo-1 pie no longer mourn by the rivers of Babylon, out have taken their harps oft the wjiiows aud have attuned them anew to the music oi the spindle and the loom, which make vocal all ot tier mountains, hills and plains. Yea, 1 can proudly proclaim today that the suu of a new Industrial era has dawned upon the South and chased away all the dark clouds of the days of her capilvity. Time and success have softened bitter memories, while trials heroically endured have endeared the South to the natlou. A Nothern paper gives expression to this feellDg in the following: "The South set herself painfully and heroically to work to learn the hard les?on of toll and courage, and slowly and surely a new life has arisen from the ashes of the old. In her heroic struggle she has bad the love aud admiration of every generous soul, and her children will yet see wealth and aonndance where their fathers saw ruin, devastation end t hu vnc of U7mr " The ooly discordant utterance IF <'e heard comes from a Northwestern sent^ who. it the papers correctly report, said if,, jtber dav that he was opposed to the Nica' <4an cabal aud teriltorlal expansion "be- (*e it will boom special southern Interest / Tills Bar row sectional view does not re^etteov Northern sentiment. y For m>self I take the higher sjnd broader ground, that what benefits one seouon oeut*flu tbe whole country, and that comrnerieal expauKlou, wlih a<l that the lerm Implies, means wider markets and Increased opportunities, in which manufacturers, farmer^ laborers and capitalists, North, South, EaM and West, must share, because of Its universal results. But, gentleman, 1 was lovited to epeag oi tbe South. Under favorablycodltlons there is no limit to the industral possibilities aba progress of the South. In 1990 there were In operation In the South 1.800,000 spindles. Ju 1S99 it Is estimated that tbetov^rere 5,000.000 spindles in operation, In 1892 there were 783,701 bales of raw eottou consumed by tbe mills of the South. lu 1S9S there werfl.li987,?S9 bales consumed; an lucreuse In seven jettrs of 70 per cent. I predict that the seven year* will show a lar greater percentageofincreuse. Tbe mills are bound to come to the cotton, and in the near future you will Hod In mery little town a ginnery, oil mill and yarn fao lory run by the same power and oomblned under the same management. The. tunnies are alrnosl untouched.

It'la a question of markets and marketplace*.;^ writer recently aid: "Tbere is no flxedMss iu commercial supremacy. It has come jjrod goue from one nation to another. Commer clal necessity has replaced the old lust of empire. and is the key to the avidity of nations dividing commercial territory." The lines ol commercial progress are rapidly shifting from tne Atlautlc to ihe Pacific. It is in tbe E-tst, where civilization bad Its birth, tbat tbe final *.?\mmomiuI tnnr?m?ftV ift dflMf.in til to occur. The very name of your society, the Ameri cau Asiatic Association, in aD evidence of the intelligent appreciation of our business men, and an Indication of commercial movement and spirit that will dot the broad Pacific with ships aud over lap the fringes of Asia. The place of the United States in this great contest for commercial supremacy depends on the Intelligent acceptance of our merchants and manufacturers of the opportunities ol the hour. The battle of Manila changed history in a night and projected the United States Into the circle of the great powers, and iuto this conflict in the East. Mr. Gladstone, who knew, all the forces at work there, said: ' Thjp! United States will be most victorious, wltb England following. In the world's Industrial conflict now present and to come." He saw with prophetic vinion 1 tie results of oar war with Spain, aud the impending commercial ascendency of the United Slates. Prior to the acquisition of the islands the "open door" policy was secured to nsonly by treaty right". These were entirely dependent upon the caprice and ever changing Interests of the nations struggling lor commercial supremacy. The final dismemberment of the Chinese empire has been their ultimate purpose. With this accomplished and their "gfpheres of influence" fixed, the exclusion of our trade would speedily follow. . ^ / The great race between the nations of tbii century Is to dispose of their surplus prodtifc tions. Russia has made an adroltadv&nce by rail Into China to forestall a large measure ol supply at her seaports. Germany, in the In tere?ts of her trnde, has forced China to relm 11AUP. ! of M ^ -^'2^ '?*" T^ standing the fact that one in need of Goods < +linTr novi K/-?

A few years aco there was a great iturmade about the importation of uianulac-. tured articles from Japan. It is a fact that Jfupanese Imports from us have grown with jfcreater rapidity thau her exports. In 1SS1 ?b exports to Japan amounted to 1.761,108 yens, and In 180S 40.001.097 yens lu value, thus showing an Increase in our trade (rorn 3.72 per cent in 1881 to 14!57 percent. In 189X. The Japanese Imports lu raw cotton *in 1892 were 11,026,837 yens, while In 1898 they amounted to $>.410,457 yens. - Mr.T*ylor says: "Industry leads to wealth, aod wealth brings demand for goods, and It Is surprising that the prophecy should sometimes be beardibe Chinese will import less as they m^bdJaoture morjfr Experience guidance of an overruling Providence, has. given us a stepping stone to a wider zone of Influence.

From that I took started the ripple which expanded to k'O.OlW square miles lor the thirteen colonies Hud 1,000,000 square miles for the nation today. Had the United States followed autl-expanslonlsts, they never would have exercised I control of this vast continent, aud become an Important factor In tb- world's civilization. ' The hour has come when this young giant of the West must come forth among the nations and assume greater responsibilities, but with them increased opportunity. We are confronted with conditions Ihatcannot change A constitution may he changed, if In process of industrl ! and governmental development ob?oleie and useless restrictions prove a bar to progress. Conditions are widej ly different from one hundred years ago. New aud unforeseen torces nave amen in social, governmental and Industrial life, but these new condit ions and problems constitute parts of the world's eternal law of progress. From thirteen feeble colonies we have expanded Into the greatest nation on earth. S"ine Divine baud has tenderly and surely lifted us from a lofty to a loftier epoclj. Why should we falter aud tremble before the splendid possibilities opeued up to us by the ruler of nations? Hailing irom the South as I do, I say let all t eel ions join hands in selztog tills grand op. portunity of exteudlng our commerce, Influence ami civilization. With ,theopeulng of the Xicarauguan caoal and the construction of deep water harbors along the gulf, I believe the South will he able to uuderbld the world In supplying Asia with raw and manure tor- . ed cotton, and that oue of tbe marvelsntf the new born century will be tJhie greaLcljffijfjpf.

At the I'resbyterian Church on Sunday morning Dr. NVllson cho>ie his text from Exodus Kit h chapter and last part of the 23rd verse, "Hut all the children of Israel had 1 light In their dwellings." Dr. Wilson said that the d'trkness which came as a plague on the Egyptians was usually supposed to have covered all save the laud of Goshen, but i that the Uible stated there was darkness In | all the land ot Egypt, hut the Israelites had I light ill their<1 wellin-jH, Goil Is impartial In I his judgments. Sickness and troubles, are over all the laud, In every home, but to those I who love Him, these trials and Htllictlons but serve to draw them nearer. The light was in . the (litrerent household*, whether it was a miraculous light or prepared by the order of the Lord before the darkners came matters i not. It was a light for the Individual and came into the houses and hearts of the Individual believers, because of their belief.

McKinnoa of Upper LoDg Cane church conducted tbe union meeting last Sunday night in the Methodist church. All tbe other ministers of tbe city were present and participated In tbe service. Tbe audience was a large one, and the church was well filled with devout worshippers. AN though tbe night was a cold one, tbe temperature of tbe atmosphere within was regulat"/I " iinmfr\i>l Af lha /tnnarairaHnn Mr. McKlnnon chose as his text the words as found lu tbe gospel of St. John xvll, 3: "And this la life eternal, tbat they mlgbt know thee the only true (i<d. and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." The preacher only Incidentally referred to the evil that overcomes us la tbe darkness of death, but he enlarged on that which led to tbe light, life and love of the celestial city. Bald tbat we must know our Savior not only as a man of purity, but as the Redeemer of the world. That we must know him as tbe representative of tbe Father of us all, who sent him to deliver his message of love, pardon and grace. That we must know him as our Benefactor and render un'o him that heart service which Is due to Him who came to tbe world ou sogreata mission of love and mercy. That we must feel reflected In our own hearts something of the purity af his personal character, and In our dally life we must so conduct ourselves as to realize tbat we have In our own souls a responsive chord lor the manifestation of such unmerited love which baa been shown to us. The preacher believed tbat there was no sucb tblngasan honest or Intelligent atheist. Tbe earth and all tbat it contains, prove tbat there Is an overruling Providence. All of our Intelligence attests tbe fact tbat tbere Is a Supreme Architect. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shew* eth his handiwork." Then will man, a mere atom, a poor, short-sighted creature, whose vision Is limited by metes and bounds, presume to doubt tbe existence of the Creator-of the universe, or the presence ol the Author of his being ? Mr. McKinnon Is a lover of the language which he epeaks, and his utterances are noted for the purity of his English. And we regret not being able to make a better report of his sermon. Because of thoughts which came "bobbing in belween," we couldn't listen as well as we would have wished. Perhaps some unregenerate sinner inay know how hard It Is sometimes to keep wandering thoughts out of the head even i while under the "drlppingR of the sanctuary."' But. the above is our imperfect testimony as to the sermon Sunday night. EDUCATIONAL CENTRE, People DlMtlnirniMhed for their Moral Worth anil Christian Character.
