NEW LIFE FOR THE SOUTH.
Eloquent SliPt'l'h In York Todity
Before hie Amerlonii-Awlallc Asmoelatlou?
What Expniittloii Will i>o
for the Sim III.
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.
When competition becomes a little sharper,

writer recently aid: "Tbere is no flxedMss

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

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

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

Imports lu raw cotton *in 1892 were 11,026,837

Expansion has been the policy oI this goverument
ever since the landing of the Pilgrims
at Plymouth Rock. 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

At the I'resbyterian Church on Sunday

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.

ypWTOH MEETING,.'
Icrmnn by Mr. NcBlnnon Last Sno<lny
Nlgbl la tlie MethodlNt Church.
Rev. T. F. 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.
Rev. .Tames Boyce, President of the beRt
College for Girls that can be found Id America,
was in town last Saturday, with his pretty
daughter, buying some of the good things to 1
be found in our stores. Mr. Boyce io the Dae
West Female College Is the worthy successor <
of Dr. Bonner, the honored founder of the institution,
and he Is the peer of other noble
spirits who followed In the footsteps of the |
most enterprising preacher the Assoolate Reformed
Church ever produced. It is the
pleasure of Abbeville people to note progress
along the educational lines at Due West, and
Ihlo pnii n 11* 1rtnLrc tn thai tnu?n DC t h o nuntor
