The Populists, in counting or estimat? ing their strength in the nest Congress, have placed Gov. Tillman in their column. The Populists have received another black eye. . The Democrats have carried ; Arkansas by more than 30,000 majority. In the death of Judge Pressley, which occurred at bis residence at Summer >;vilie, iast Wednesday, South Carolina loses one of its purest and best citizens and an able lawyar. .General Longstreet is at home in Gainesvi le, Ga., busily encaged upon his memoirs, which are expected to contain a good deal of interest upon the late war. His health is not good. The thinking people of the whole coun? try are beginning to realize that Presi? dent Cleveland's position on the finance question is a correct one, and he is grow? ing more popular every day. Newberry is coming to the front, and E lgefield will have to look to her laurels. The former County now has two candi? dates in the field for Governor at the general election, Messrs. Moon and Pope. Senator John H. Jones, who has repre? sented the State of Nevada in the United States Senate over twenty-one years as a -Republican, has formally renounced his allegiance to th?t party and cast his lot with the Populisits. .? , ' ??- im ? m< The Charleston Newa end Courier, with its usual enterprise, published its annual trade edition last Wednesday. Ii makes a fine showing for Charleston, and has . an encouraging report of the in-' dustrial condition of every section of the State._ . The Wae; (Texas) Daily Globe says the farmers in that section are taking steps to combine and hold their cotton seed until oil mills offer better prices than at present (seven dollars per ton being the figure now paid.,) They receiv ~ ed $15 per ton, last year. v,/ The Supreme Court meets in Colum? bia to-day to hear arguments on the Dis? pensary law. of 1893. State Treasurer Bates has been restrained from paying ont-aoy more of the State's money on eccountof the Dispensary until the de? cision of the Court is filed, which, we presume, will bo, done in a few days. Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and Means Committee, has been re-nomiua natetf, and the West "Virginians will elect him. If the Democrats carry , the next Honse, and theze are reasons for the be - lief that they will, Crisp will be the next speaker, and Wilson will be the next Ways and Means Chairman. So there may yet bo a Wilson tariff bill. Bradstreet his made au esti mate of the losses growing out ol .the Debs strike: Loss (o the Halted States Government, earnings of railroads, wages, destruction of railway prcpertj, exports, etc. To satisfy this claim it would take a contri? bution of rather more than ten dollars apiece by ever-?: man in the United States who belongs to a labor organization. The centennial anniversary of the be? ginning of silver-coinage in this country will soon be reached.' It was on October 15,1794, that the Philadelphia mint turn? ed out 1,785 of these dollars, each with ^tho words "dollar unit", milled on the ?3ges. The silver dollar was then, as now is the gold dollar, the "standard of .value.. And it remained so until Its final' , demonetization in 1873. From every section of the country come reports of improvements in all branches of trade, and a feeling of confidence per? meates the business atmosphere. In New. England the carpet mills have not only started up after an idleness of nine months, but in some instances the 10 per cent, reduction of wages, enforced under the McKinley act, has been restored, showing that under the Democratic tariff the manufacturers expect to do an in? creased business and to be able to pay better wages. Congressman Latimer delivered a speech in Abbeville on Monday, 3rd inst. He spoke on national politics, and amonrother things said that he believed .Mr. Cleveland to be an honest man, of the purest motives, and "one of the most popular men in the United States." Mr. Latimer will hnve to be careful in paying 'stich compliments to President Cleve? land. Gov. Tillman may plunge his pitchfork into him, and some of the Governor's followers will accuse him of being in sympathy with the Conserva? tives. _. ? y _ ?_ The Eighth Annual Display of the Fairview Stock, Agricultural and Me chanical Association will be held at ^air view, Greenville County, 21ot September. ,The management are using every effort to make their exhibit this year excel any previous exhibit in the history of the Association. A lot of fine stock is usual? ly exhibited at these annual displays, which always, attract a big crowd of visi? tors. Mr. W. H. Britt ja Secretary of the Association, and will take pleasure in giving any information, concerning tie display._ The following is a copy of a circular letter that has been sent by ?ill leading cotton factors to the merchants and cot? ton buyers throughout the country: "The cotton trade in this section were obliged to pay heavy claims the past season on account of the excessive bag? ging used in covering the bales. The use of extra bagging has assumed such proportions and caused us such loss we will be forced the present season to dock all bales 1-16 cents p>er pound where 'covering in excess of the customary six yards is used. The American, English and Continental spinners have alike pro? tested against this over use of bagging, and if persisted in, considerable trouble will doubtless arise. Please use your efforts with the planters and ginn era to nave cotton baled with only the usual two strips of six yards, of two pounds to the yard." The farmers and ginners throughout this section should read the above paragraph carefully and act ac? cordingly. The local buyers will have to be governed by it, aid every farmer -who nses more than six yards of bagging on a bale of cotton will certainly be the 'loser. ? The friends of Frank Sloane and Mary Virden, oi Bordontown, N. J.,did not know until 1 a few days ago that they were married thirty-five years ago. The two have nearly the same'clrcle of friends, but no one suspected that tbey were le? gally husband and wife. Thirty-five vears ago, when Mary wan yet in her teens, the two fell in love. The parents of each objected to their marriage, and while Mary was visiting a relative in New York city Frank went there, and tbey were secretly married. Frank and Mary afterward quarreled, and came to the conclusion that they did not love each other. They decided never to tell of the marriage, and until last last Tues? day it remained a secret. They will now go to house keeping together, though at the request of friends, they will have a /secondT ceremony performed. OPPOSED TO TILLH?SISM Conservatives irlll uuder:ake to ^:iin Control ot Party Machinery. Dispatch to Atlanta Count Hut ion. Columbia, S. C, September 7.?South Carolina has two parties now, each clam? oring to be the Democratic party. Since the Tillmanites held an exclusive conven? tion by themselves and nominated a can? didate to be run in the coming State Convention for Governor, sentiment in favor of a re-organization of the Demo? cratic party on lines distinct from tho present organization of which Senator Irby is chairman, has been rapidly grow? ing. Its growth received a great impetus when Senator Butler declined to submit to the verdict of the recent primaries. One week ago it took shape at a confer? ence in which most of the Counties of the State were represented. Senator Butler, ex-Governor Richardson, United States District Attorney Murphy, Editor Gon? zales, of the Columbia State, and Mayor Walter Dargao, of Darlington, who was a conspicuous figure during the dispensary trouble, were among the attendants upon the conference. The proceedings of the conference was kept secret until to-night, when the address given below was made public. .It will be seen that a State Con? vention is called, and this Convention may place a free State ticket in the field. It will doubtless seek the recognition of the national executive Committee on the ground that the Tillman faction are popu? lists and that Tillman had intimated his intention to go to the populists him? self, taking his followers with him. It is also possible that no general, fight will be made this year except for members of the legislature in certain Counties, and that the work will be one for the present sole? ly of organization. The following is the address: "2b the Democrats of South Carolina: The following preamble and resolutions having been adopted by a representative body of Democrats coming from a large majority of the Counties of the State, and baviuc;"s.inco been approved by many Democrats in all the Counties in the State, it becomes my duty as chairman of the Democratic conference Committee of South Carolina to publish them to the State, and to earnestly urge all true Democrats to take active part in the mass meeting proposed to be held, and to send representative delegations to the Democratic State Convention. Thomas W. Carwile, Chairman Democratic Conference Com? mittee. "2b the Democrats of South Carolina: Whereas, under the guidance of those so called Democrats or a majority of them, who have control of the party machinery in this State, the leaders of the rank and file of the party have attempted to com? mit them to the third party and to popu? list doctrines, have alienated us from our fellow-Democrats of the union and have brought the party in South Carolina into reproach as to its alignment with the na? tional Democracy, adopted false and un Democratio principles and promulgated them in the name and under the banner of Democracy; and, "Wheras, The Democratic masses of the State have been grossly betrayed by [men charged with party management, who have .usurped the right and used the machinery of the party for selfish ends ; a majority of the so-called State Demo? cratic Executive Committee actually per? mitting another self-constituted Commit? tee (only claiming to represent a faction of a faction,) to assume control of the party management, and in the most fra? grant and offensive manner to disfran? chise thousands of troe Democrats; and "Wheras, A ring has been organized and is exercising most arbitrary and ty? rannical power to the utter subversion of the people, and thereby depriving them their political rights; now therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, as true, loyal and uncompromising Democrats, repudiate the third party platform repeatedly (and at the recent August State Convention of the faction now in power,) forced upon our party, and hereby pledge our contin? ued allegiance to true Democratic princi ?les as enunciated at the last national lemocratic Convention. We feel the absolute necessity of a complete reorgan? ization of the party in this State, and in | vite all true Democrats to assist us in its rehabilitation and in the organization of Democracy in South Carolina squarely in line with sound Democratic doctrine; and be it further "?Resolved, That we hereby invite the Democrats of the State of South Carolina/ to assemble at the courthouse of their re? spective Counties on Saturday, 15th of September, 1894, or at such other place and manner as they may determine,'for the purpose of selecting delegates, (two for every representative for the lower House and the Senate to which the County is entitled,) to meet in Columbia at a con? vention to be held on the 17th of Septem? ber, at 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of reorganizing the Democratic .party in South Carolina, considering the political situation of the State, and taking such action as their collective wisdom may suggest for the publio welfare." A New Phase. Columbia, September 8.?There was a new turn in the dispensary litigation to? day. State Treasurer Bates was served with an order restraining him from fur? ther payment of any claims in favor of the dispensary. The order i3 Bigned by Chief Justice Molver and is made return? able at the special session of the Court, which will beheld next Wednesday. The application for the. injunction against Treasurer Bates was. gotten one by Mitchell <fe Smith, and J. P.. K. Bryan, representing Cant Melchers and others. As the case will be heard at the same time with the one from Aiken, it is ex? pected that Messrs. Mitchell cfc Smith and Mr. Bryan will appear in the case, especially as the State is anxious to have the constitutionality of the law thorough? ly ventilated. A similar paper was sent here for Com? missioner Traxler, but he was out of the city. Dr. Bates to-night said to me that he bad been paying out money upon the written opinion of Attorney General Buchanan and the opinion, of one Judge and one Justice. All of the papers were turned over to the Attorney General, who left the city this afternoon. The idea of getting out an injunction against the State Treasurer against pay? ing out any money on account of the dis? pensary is not new. It was contemplated (?riortothe closing down of tM estab iahments. The present act^ i, how? ever, unexpected, as it was taou it that the lawyers who were going to partici? pate in the fight would come in on the Aiken case. The injunction proceed? ings are expected to bring lorth an early decision. A copy of the petition for an injunction was left at the State dispensary for the Commissioner. Superintendent Mixson turned the batch of papers over to Attorney General Buchanan without reading the contents. He, however, managed to get the money for the weekly pay roll to-day. The pe? tition, which is returnable next Wednes? day, is quite a long paper. Copies of it were not to be had in Columbia, and Mr. Bryan, who,4t was understood, would be in the city to-night, did not make his ap? pearance. Unless an immediate decision is reached the diapensary funds will be very much tied up, as it is not likely that a Judge would issue a "stay" in such a case.? News and Courier. A Preventive of Hog Cnolira, A correspondent in Williamsburg County reported a few days ago that the farmers in that county had lest many of their hogs recently from cholera, and similar reports have been received this summer from other counties. We pub? lished early in the year the statement of a farmer living near Charleston that he and his neighbors had found a certain "condition powder" generally sold in the city to be an effectual preventive and cure for the disease, and it is a pity, therefore, that the farmers in other coun? ties whose hogs have bden attacked have not given the remedy a trial. The bul? letin of the Florida Agricultural Depart? ment, just published, reports another preventive which is used in Polk Coun? ty, and, as stated, with invariable success. The report is as follows : "The pork crop is at least 50 percent over an average. The farmers are keeping their hogs free from cholera by charcoal fed in the slops every ten days, not as a cure, but as a preventive. None of those who have tried it have lost a hog or even had a sick one. We advise all farmers to give it a trial and report tho results to the Bulletin. Several persons have used this remedy for three years in this coun? ty and have not lost a hog, while those who have not used it havo lost all their hogs." This appears to be conclusive as to the virtues of the preventive, and as it is cheap and can always be made on the farm, there can be no excuse for not try? ing it when occasion requires.?News and Courier. ? Thero are no longer any croakers at the condition of business, says the New York Times. The mercb.au a and busi? ness men of .all classes in this city have found out to their satisfaction, that the revival of trade which immediately fol? lowed the settlement of the tariff ques? tion was not ephemeral, but is keep? ing up vigorously, and is all the time increasing, gathering momentum as it goes. J HIS OWN CANDIDATE. Dr. Sampson *'oi>e Announces Bis Candlca cy once More. Atlanta Constitution. Columbia, S.' C, September 7.?Dr. Sampson Pope has again entered the gu? bernatorial list and will give John Gary Evans a hot contest for the governorship when the ballots fall in November. "True Democracy and anti-dispensary" are on tho baunei" that he hoisted hero to? day. Dr. Pope has issued an address to tho Democratic voters of tho State, in which he says: "I understand that one of the ring said to a gentleman a few days ago, speaking of me: 'lie shall never "hold otlice again.' Chagrined at my exposure of ring meth? ods now practiced, and at my checkmat? ing him liy refusing to go into his trap at the tirst and second primarv. ho thus vents his spleen. "I believe that the offices belong to tho people and not to any individual or set of individuals. I shall, therefore, be a candidate for governor at the general election. The last killing at Blackville has convinced me that we can never have peace in this State so long as tho dispen? sary law is upon the statute books. "I shallj.therefoie, run as an anti-dis Eensary candidate, and in favor of true emocracy. "Let the people decide at this election whether or not a few men shall dictate who shall be passed in ihe interest of peace and harmony and good govern? ment. "At this election a ballot can be cast di? rectly fo:r the man of tho people's choice. Lot the people rise up as one man and see to it that there be a fair count." It will be remembered that Dr. Pope canvassed the State as a reform candidate for Governor, but refused to submit his claims to a Reform Convention, and later withdrew his pledge to stand in the re? cent Democratic primary, alleging that the methods used were not Democratic. The doctor was an original Reformer, so much so that the ''old ring crowd," as they were called, used to speak of him as a "three for a quarter statesman." For years he was Mill man's lieutenant, and it is even said that Senator Irby thought' so much of him as to try to make him stay with him in Washington. Dr. Pope believes tbat he has now, after an inti? mate political affiliation for several years, "found out" these men, and has come to the conclusion that South Carolina is dominated by a worse ring than she ever had. "What brings you out, doctor?" the Constitution's correspondent asked him to-day. "I nave been bedeviled and worried," said he, "until I determined to seo if tne people were not sick and tired of this bossism by the ring. I solemnly warned Tillman in the canvass not to re-open the dispensaries-, telling him that bloodshed would follow. I am sorry to Bay that my firediction has come true. I cannot be ieve that there is any patriotism in auy such enforcement of the laws." "Who is your running mate in this race?" 'I have none yet," was the reply. "I have nobody to help me but the people. I am my own candidate. I do not know about the balance of the ticket. If any body wants to come out and run with me, let him come. The ballot for Governor and Lioutenan'-Governor is placed in a box separate from the boxes for the other offi? ces." X When asked if he would make any speeches in the various Counties, Dr. Pope said tbat this would be a compaign of work. He is confident tbat he will - carry his own County and believes that he will carry the Stete. The doctor did not vote in the recent primary. "What about the negro, doctor ?" "Well, the cry of 'stop thief has gone out by the ring on that subjoct, and yet the newspapers say tbat Governor Till? man had a three-hours' chat with Mur? ray, the negro congressman. This looks to me as if they had gone over to the ne? gro." "Do you believe that Evans has a ma | jority of the white vote ?" . ''No. In the last primary 58,000 votes were cast, according to the newspaper es? timates, though I do not admit their cor? rectness except for t he sake of argument. Fifteen thonsand of them did not vote for Governor, and a large number of those who did, did so because there was no other candidate, and do not feel bound thereby. This would leave 43,000 as vot? ing for Evans, and as there were 88,000 votes at the primary in 1892 you will sec, by adding the 15,000 above set forth to those not voting, tbat a majority of the white voters are against Evans. To this number add at least 10,000 who did not vote in 1892, and who have come of age since, and you will see that the negro vote is not necessary to carry the elec? tion. "I suspect a deal with Murray, but he cannot deliver tho goods, as the negroes refused, to vote in 1890. I have some in? formation on the latter point, which I am not at liberty to give, but which may be riven later on. Murray moved from Sumter to Charleston, you know, soon after the passage of the redistricting bill, thus putting himself in the new district." TTbat (he Politicians are Saying and Doing* Columbia, S. C, September 8.?Very naturally the talk of the day were the two political bombs tbat were thrown out yesterday. First and foremost came the call from the "true Demoorats" for a State Convention to meet here on the 17th, although something of the kind was expected ever since the conference here about.a week ago. The call and every? thing have been ready for several days, and after consideration it was decided tbat the Convention ought to be held about the 17tb, as that would give all interested ample time in which to think about the plan and the advisability of j calling the Convention. It is expected and hoped that the Convention will be thoroughly representative of the "true Democracy" of the State. The advance reports indicate that every county will have a full representation at the Conven? tion. That is the way to decide what had best be done. The Reformers have been expecting some such move for some time and do not seem to be very much agi? tated about it. They do not know what to do or how to move. That function will, no doubt, be left to Governor Till? man, Senator Irby and Nominee John Gary Evans. The "Democrats" whosympathize with those interested in the new move are very much delighted with the turn that things have taken. They are anxious for a fair, square fight, and want to see the issue carried directly to the ballot-box, and will not countenance anything short of a fight to the finish. They do not want to see the Convention meet and pass a series of resolutions, but they want a short and harmonious session, and a full State ticket nominated and a direct fight made at the ballot-box in November. There seems to be some misunderstand? ing about the time the various conven? tions are to be held. The Convention called by the special committee in the interest of a reorganization of tho Demo? cratic party will meet here on the 17th of j the month. The regular Convention provided for.in the constitution of the party will be held here at noon on Wed? nesday, the 19th of the month. The dele? gates to the first Convention will be elected in the various counties on the 15th, and the delegates to the alleged "Machine" Convention have already been selected at the primaries that were held on the 2Sth of August. One thing is cer? tain, from now on for the next week or two things promise to be kept pretty lively in the political world. Gen. Butler is doing some pretty plain talking. He has sent the following com? munication : To the Register: Judging from the tenor of your correspondence and your own comments, there are quite a number of "anxious patriots" who appear deeply Interested in my welfare and concerned about my future action, I drop this line to reassure all "inquiring friends" that I am not after re-election to the United [ States Senate, but am after the corrupt ring now disgracing the politics of this State. You dwell with some emphasis on the importanceof' wnitesupremacy." You do not exaggerate its importance, but "white supremaoy" does not mean ring rule and the disfranchisoment of white taxpaying voters, the destruction under the forms of law of their rights and liberties and property. These wrongs do not acquire sanctity because the perpetra? tors of them have white skins. I did more in one day to establish "white supremacy" in South Carolina than this entire gang of ringsters in their whole lives, and would do more now to preserve it, but this ring has prepared the way to destroy "white supremacy." It has severed the relations of the white people and will not permit of a reunion, because when the people get together again and look into their affairs dispas? sionately some of these ringsters will go to the Penitentiary. Hence they vilify and slander every man who exposes their villanies and corruption. "White supremacy" is a very precious thing in this country, and I would lament the day when it is lost, if it ever should be, but if we are to be robbed and plundered as we now are, I do not know tbat the color of the skin of the robber makes it more bearable or palliates the offence. So "you can say to your roople" I am not after the United States Senate, but the ring and its v?laiiios, and that I am in for tho war. M. C. Butler. Dr. Pope was in tho city this morning until 11 o'clock. Ho said that ho had been receiving good news all the morn? ing, and that he had been voluntarily ollbred co-operation from counties whore he least expected it. Ho remarked that there was no use in tho world to try and make light of his candidacy, as ho was in the fight to win and was nut to bo "bhill ed."?JUcws ((ml Courier. A Substitute for Cotton. Rcics and Courier. Columbia, September 10.?Governor Tillman did not bother himself to-day with politic.'". JIo did incidentally ask about the report of tho Murray confer? ence, which ho save was unfounded, but hespont most of tho time answering an accumulation of mail. Among tho let? ters was one from Mr. It. P. Ferguson, of Chicago, which was given prompt at? tention and which he hopes will amount to something. If Mr. Ferguson is not able to do anything maybe some ono elso who has the requisite capital will be able to see things as he does and develop the beet sugar industry in this State. Tho entering wedgo has been given. Will it amount to anything? The letter from Mr. Ferguson reads as follows: S74 West Polk St he et, \ Chicago, III., Sept. 4,1S!?4. j Governor Tillman, Columbia, S. C.? My Dear Sir : From a careful examina? tion of the formation and soil of South Carolina as given in a book published by tho State board of agriculturo of South Carolina, I believe you bavo one of the best States in tho Union for the cultiva? tion of tho sugar beet and the manufac? ture of beet sugar. It is a fact that the cultivation of the sugar beet under the scientific method nocessary to its success increases the productiveness of tho ground for other crops. It is also a par? ticularly hardy plant, adjusting itself without difficulty to conditions of soil and climate with extreme tenacity of life and succeeding where many other agri? cultural products wouid under the same conditions be a total failure. The sugar beet would average in most parts of your State fifteen tons por acre and would sell for ?4.50 to :?") a ton at the factory. Fac? tories could be established on your navi? gable rivers and railroad lines and located so as to bi) convenient to the largest number of beet sugar producers. I write you because I have been doeply interested in your Administration and the able manner in which you have con? ducted it and because I like your State and want to see it prosper. How is your State board of agriculture formed? Do you appoint it? Could you secure me a position to experiment with raising sugar beets in your State? I know the introduction of sugar beet cjlturo and the manufacture of beet sugar would be of the utmost value to your State, and I would be pleased to hflve your personal views in relation to the same, Take your coast counties from Beaufort to Horry ; then the next tier from Barnwell to Marlboro; then tho next from Aiken to Chesterfield!; and next Edgefield to Lan? caster; all possess the soil suitable to sugar beet culture and would produce the best results, making from $50 to SCO per acre clear profit, and a sure crop, no danger of failure. If you can inaugurate this new source of wealth it will be a fit? ting crown to your Administration. Will you kJndly let me hear from you ? I will furnish you satisfactory references if there is a chance for business. Respectfully yours, R. H. Fehouson. Governor Tillman replied as follows: Columbia, September 10,1894. R. H. Ferguson, Chicago, 111.?My Dear Sir : Your letter of September 4 has been,received. In reply I would say that experi ments in the cultivation of the various varieties of beets, including the sugar beets, have been made in this State time and time again, and there is no doubt whatever as to our soil and climate being well suited to beet culture. The difficulty which I foresee in developing the sugar industry here will be lack of capital to manufacture tho beet and the sugar. The production of the beet in paying quantities will be easy. The i skilled labor, confined mainly to super? intendence, can be easily obtained in Europe. The question is, who will fur? nish the machinery to make up tho pro? duct? I am particularly interested in develop? ing the production of any new crop that will take" the place of cotton in our agri? culture, and will be glad to have you give me, if you are familiar with the sub? ject, estimates on the cost of a plant to manufacture beets into sugar. We have large areas of very fertile, cheap lands now devoted to cotton culture. Our farmers can supply all tho beets at prices as cheap as they can be produced any? where in the world. The time is propi? tious for enlisting their support to any new agricultural production which prom? ises profit, as cotton at present prices yields none. We have no State board of agriculture at this time, but you might correspond with the director of the ex? perimental station located at Clemson College, but as I have already told you, if somebody will buy the sugar beet at the prices you name our farmers will contract to cultivate them according to the instructions and to deliver any quan? tity. I.shall be glad to hear from you fur? ther on this important subject. Respectfully, B. R. Tillman. The Great Industrial South. Baltimobe, Md., September 6.?The Manufacturers' Record of this week says: The encouraging condition of business and the extont of its renewal in the South are shown by the bank clearances of sev? eral Southern cities, notably Birming? ham, Louisville, Memphis and Jackson? ville. At the three oitles last named the in? crease for the week ending August25 was 202,189 and 90 per cent respectively over the corresponding week of 1893, while at Birmingham <the clearings increased over 400 per cent, indicating to what an extent manufacturing industries*are be? ing affected. Special reports received by the Manu? facturers' Record during tho past week include the construction of twelve miles of new railroad in Alabama and forty in Tennessee; the opening of three more coal mines in Alabama and the forma? tion of a line of barges for the Mississip? pi River trade; two steamship lines, one coastwise and one to tho West In? dies; a number of sales of land in small tracts to settlors, and the sale of 30,000 tons of Tennessee phosphate by a single corporation. Throughout the entire South there is a better feeling in business circles than has been seen for the last two or three years, and reports from all over the country show that the increasing prosperity of the South is attracting wide attention from capitalists, manufacturers and farmers. The rehabilitation of Southern railroads is making good progress, and with earnings steadily increasing there is a tendency towards large expendi? tures for the improvement of road bods, an increase in rolling stock and for the building of new lines, especially short feeders and branch roads. Among*the leading industrial enter? prise reported for the week are a 8100, 000 phosphate company, organized in Baltimore, to operate in Florida; a 830,-. 000 phosphate company, ?10,000 machine works, water-works and a flour mill in Georgia; a packing house, shoo factory, brick works, .electric light plant and quarrying company in Alabama; a 8100, 000 (manufacturing company and $">o,0U0 boat building company in Louisiana ; a barrel factory, knitting mill and flour mill in North Carolina; a 8350,000 cotton mill in addition to one of the most pros? perous mills in the State, a quarrying company, sewerage plant, electric light plant and gold mine in South Carolina; water-works, paper mill and wood-work? ing plant in Tonucssco, and a largo num? ber of miscellaneous enterprises in all tho different States. An increase in building interests is reported and a num? ber of large buildings are to bo construc? ted in various parts of the South, includ? ing a S!00,OU0 jail and three hotels in Goorgia. ?

Chattanooga, Tenn., September 5.? The greatest combination of private capi? tal ever enlisted in one enterprise in the United States is supporting the Southern Railway Company. From a thoroughly reliable source the Times is informed that tbe underwriters, as they may be term? ed, of the reorganization scheme of the Richmond and West Point Terminal, and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor? gia Railway companies are none other than the Rothschilds of London and Paris and the Vanderbilts of New York, Cor? nelius and William K. The reorganization, as is well known, was undertaken and successfully con? summated by Drexel, Morgan & Co., of New York, and j. S. Morgan & Co., of London. These two great banking houses interested their richest clients, the Rothschilds and Vanderbilts. The syndicate is really very small in num? bers, for it is divided into four persons, but is colossal in wealth, representing the greatest aggregation of capital in the world, more than half a billion dollars. The Rothschilds have one-quarter, the Vanderbilts one-quarter, Drexel, Morgan & Co. one-quarter, and j. S. Morgan <& Co. one-quarter. The reorganization plan provided for thirty million dollars of new capital, and it is this sum that the quartette has agreed to supply, and more if necessary. The money is to be used in heavier rails, new bridges, new equip? ments, terminals, extensions, etc. The Southern Railway has now acquir? ed in complete ownership four thousand five hundred miles of road, and by the reorganization has reduced tho bonded indebtedness from 8135,000,030 to ?90,000, 000, just one-third, and the fixed charges from ?7,500,000 per annum, to ?4,500,000, a saving of ?3,000,000 per annum. The bonded indebtedness of the road is now less than ?20,000 per mile. The first annual meeting of stockhold? ers is to be held in Richmond, Va., on Tuesday, October 2, and bonds to the ?amount of 8120,000,000 on the entire property will be authorized. Thirty millions of tho bonds are to be used in improvements. The expenditure of this large sum of money in the South along tbe line of the Southern Railway will be far-reaching in its effect. There is now very little doubt ihat the Southern Railway project is simply an extension of the Vand'erbilt system into and thtoughout the South. The Chesa? peake and Ohio will, no doubt, become a part of tbe system within a short time, the Queen and Crescent system will ulti? mately become part of tbe system, what? ever may be the immediate plans of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton peo? ple. Through the Cincinnati Southern tbe Big Four, of the Vanderbiltsystem, will be reached at Cincinnati. The con? trolling stock of the Central Railroad of Georgia is held by the Southern Rail? way, and when the property finally gets into the hands of tbe 'security holders, which is only a question of a short lime, it will be discovered that the Rothschilds Vanderbilt system is in control. The plans of the Drexel-Morgan people are now so near fruition that it is now no longer a matter of speculation. The greatest railroad combination on earth is near completion. Twenty-five thousand miles of the best railroad property in America will soon be under tbe control of the Rolls mild-Vanderbilt combina? tion. It has been an open secret for some months that tbe Rothschilds were be? coming interested in American railroads, While the reorganization plans of the Richmond Terminal and East Tennessee give Drexel, Morgan & Co. supremo con? trol for five years, by the expiration of that time it is confidently bebeved they will continue the control by virtue of the fact that they own the controlling inter? est. Tho beginning of the Southern Railway is under the most favorable conditions. While the properties have been reorgan? ized on a basis that would enable pru? dent management to make fixed charges during a depressed business period, such as the South is just emerging from, tbe prospects for business greater in volume than the South ever before enjoyed are now of the most encouraging character. The cotton crop will yield nearly ten million bales and the South will not only have enough corn for its own use, but a great surplus to sell. The general condi? tion of the planters and farmers in the South was never better. They were never before so little in debt. Factories and furnaces are resuming in every direction. One order for twenty thousand tons of pig iron has just been given the Tennesseo Coal and Iron Com? pany by Matthew Addy & Co., of St. Louis, and in consequence the Cowan furnace has been put in blast, and the South Pittsburg furnace will also be in blast in a few days. Every factory in tho city of Chattanooga is at work and the greatest activity is among the boiler makers. A very marked improvement in the general tono of business throughout tho South has beon apparent for somo time. The feeling that the South is on the threshold of a great era of prosperity seems to be daily increasing in the North and West. Eastern banks are freely offering monoy at low rates of interest to their Southeru correspondents aud large mercantile houses are crowding tho South with commercial travellers. The South- I em Railway has its beginning at a propi? tious timo. They Want Protection. Franklin, La., September 5.?In res? ponse to an invitation issued by j. T. White, district secretary of the National Protective League, a large gathering of planters assembled in conference here to-day to take action upon the tariff sit protective declarations and announced a determination to put a protective candi? date in tho field in the third congression? al district. Tho preambles and resolu? tions declare that the Democratic party in congress having seen fit to deal almost a death blow to tho great sugar aud rico industries of this State and have declared it to be tho policy of the Democratic par ! ty to placo sugar on tho free list, we can? not, injustice to ourselves, voto for any candiduto to represent us in congross who is not pledged to tho protection of sugar, rice, lumber, salt and all othor groat American industries. ?

When tho person who has noversoen a prairie or a forest understands that tho fires which have been sweeping through the counties of tho Northwestern lumber regions moved as swiftly as cyclones run their courses, a fairly clear idea can be formed as to the reasjn why the people of the towns and clearings in the path of the flames were unable to summon firo departments or organize buckot brigades in time to stop the flames. I uation, and as a result iressed strong Holland's Store Items. Mrs. Peggy Couch died at her home, near this place, on Saturday, the 1st iost., and was buried at Shiloh Sunday evening, Rev. W. K. Earle conducting the funeral obsequies. Mrs. Couch was doubtless the oldest person in the Countv, being at the time ot her death about 104 yeans old (so we are informed by the beat information we ein gather). 8he was remarkably bale and hearty until a few months a-ir>, when ber constitution gave way to the in? firmities incidental to old age, and she gradually sank down into the grave peaceful and calmly, with the bright hope of a blessed immortality beyond the stars. She no doubt had as hard a road to travel through this world as any one thU ever lived. It was truly heart rending to hear her relate her experience in the long time ago, of the privations, the exposure and scenes of untold agony she passed through in ber career, and though the wolf was al? ways apparently near her door, she man? aged to gain the victory and come off con? queror in the end. She joined the Church at Shiloh in 1863. and ever after? ward lived a consistent Christian. While her privations, toils and cares rose moun? tain high in ber pathway through life, she bad the good sense to choose tbat good part tbat could not be taken away from her and would light her pathway to the world above. ? We attended prpacbing at Sardis, just across the river iu Hare County, Ga., last Sunday, and beard a fine sermon from tbat prince of preachers, Rev. J. R. Earle, followed by splendid talks by Revs. L. W. Stephens and J. II McMull m and Mr. M, M. Richardson. On our way home we spent a few pleasant hours with our friend, J. M. Cardin. We noticed our clever friend, Tho3 H. Burrlss, was also at Sardis Sunday. We thought a little strange that he wonld go so far to preaching, but were not surprised when we saw so many pretty young ladies. Mr. J. T. Whittaket has sold his place and will move to Hart County, Ga., this fall. It is with sadness that we part with Mr. Whittaker and family. Mr. W. A. Evans, of Moseley, paid us a short visit last week. Miss Fleda Sullivan spent a few days last week with relatives in Anderson. Rev. T A. Thornton and wifo of Hart well, Ga., Fpant a few days recantly visit? ing friends in this section. The health of our community is good, so far as we are informed. John Leverett, oolored, asked ns to say thit bis people will have a celebration, or something similar, at McC lure's old gin bouse, near this place, on Saturday, Oc? tober 13ih. The program will consist of speeches by Warren Gaillard, Allen Hay nie, and perhaps others, interspersed with music by a brass band. He says good or? der will be enforced, and bis white friends are invited, with the assuranoo that tbey will be respected.

Killed on the Crossing, Paris, Tenn., Aug. 22.?A terrible ac? cident happened on the Paducah, Ten? nessee and Alabama railroad this after? noon. As the north bound train was nearing Hazel Kick, about ten miles north of Paris, in passing a crossing it struck a wagon loaded with people and five of the occupants met their deatb. The unfortunate party was crossing the track as the train came thundering down upon them, and the horses became alarrr. at tho whistle, which was sounded for the crossing, and ran into the catt.e guard, The vehicle could not be extricated before the locomotive had crushed into them. Tho killed are: Misses Jennie and Lillie Ray, aged 18 and 20, daughters of J. T. Ray, his son, Tobe Ray, and two young ladies, Misses Hannon. A young man named Ray was badly injured. Then? is no blame attached to tbe railroad. The company gave all the relief possible to tho injured people. ? Paris has become second only to London in her devotion to cycling. The use of the wheel is so general there that the French Academy of Medicine has beon seriously discussing the habit this week. There are more than 100.000 bi? cycles in Paris, and tbey are ridden by young and old, fat and thin. A promi? nent physician drew the attention of the Academy to the death of three persons from heart disease recently while riding bicycles. He said that not less than 1 per cent of the riders are suffering from cardiac affections and are in danger of the same fate. He argued that no one should use tbe machine without submitting to ? medical tests. ? A D. Hoke killed a rattlesnake on Paris Mountain on Sunday while the reptile was charming a young rabbit. Mr. Hoke was going up I he road leading to tho hotel from tho Buncombe road. Near the foot of the mountain ho nearly drove over tho rattler as he lay in the rut with his head up fixed on the rabbit a few feet away. Pulling up his horso sharply, he drew a revolver and fired three times, two of the shots taking effect and carrying away a part of the back bone. The rabbit did not move and when knocked over by a light stick in Mr. Hoko's hands was picked up appar? ently lifeless by William G. Sirrine, who was present. After being oxamined ho was dropped on the ground when the little fellow picked up his hools and scurried away. The snako was skinned and stuffed by the young men and will be mado into a bolt lor ond of the young ladies ut tho hotol. It bad eight rattles and a button, was about throe and a half feet long and the skin was unusually brilliant. Dr. A. M. Hill has the fangs. ?Greenville Newa. Strength and Health.
