Id Us annual review the industrial
E gress of the South, the Baltimore

was the most remarkable year in many
res}>ects in the history of the Southern
Status, and more accomplished for the
and progresn of the whole
limn - ever before in any-year.
This is shown in the enormous invest
ments of capital in industrial enterprises
and in the growth iff confidence among
Northern and European investors in the
stability of the South’s iron and other
manufacturing interests.
The amount of capital, including tho
capital stock of incorporated companies,
represented by new manufacturing and
mining enterprises organized or char
tored at the South during 1886, includ
ing the enlargement of old plants and
the rebuilding of mills, aggregates 8129,-

You may rrst assured that they will

General Alexander'* Article on the Battle
of Get$jrsburg In January Century.
In the January number of the Century
are articles on the third day’s tight at
Gettysburg, by General H. J. Hunt and
E. P. Alexander. From the latter’s ac
count of Pickett’s charge wu quote aa
follows: “At exactly one o’clock by my
watch tho two signal guns were heard in
jquick succession. Ln another minute
every guu was at work. The ehetflv w»s
not slow in coming back at us, and the
grand roar of nearly the whole artillery
of both armies burst in on the silence
almost as suddenly as thu fall notes of
an organ could fill a church.
The artillery of Ewell's corps, how
ever, took only a small part, I believe,
in this, as they were too far aw s\ around
the town. Home of them might have
done good service from positions be
tween Hill add Ewell, enfilading the
batteries lighting m>. The opportunity
to do that was the single advantage in
our haviug the exterior line to compen
sate for its disodvantagee. But our line
was so far extended that all of it was not
well studied, and tbe ofliours of each

I was recently in a small Southern vil
lage; the county- was Anti-Prohibition,
and of the four storea two were bar
rooms, or whiskey shops. It wan no
common right to see (daggering men and
crowds going and coming from thuse
shops. On court days, for tho county
court house was there, many men instead
of eating good wholesome food for din
ner, would go to the bar and drink their
dinner. Ju->t think, a dinner of this vile
burning poison; were they fit men to
judge their fellow men? a thousands
times no. But while I sojourned at this
place, I knew three bright promising lit
tle boys, aged four, five and rix. Then
there ware two othere, little ones, seven
months and two years, each having a
nurse, young colored girls. One day at
dinner we were ut the hotel, the oldest
boy said Mama, Mr. Bartrer-sbop man,
(the proprietor of the leuroom aho cut

made everyone drink even the little baby.

Tho decisions of the General Master
Workman are now published in book
ortu. Turn to the pages of that book
aud yon will see decision after decision
on the eligibility of those connected with
the saloon burins—
One of my correspondents asks why I
reversed the decision of my predeoeaor;
the decision reads M follows:
“22. Men of good report, respectable
and honorable keepers of roadside inns,

elers and their animal*, with bed sad

real interests of the locality in which
they live, do not come under the cksri-
ficarion of saloon keepar and liquor
dealer, and may be admitted to member
ship under the “law of the ballot. *
It k true that my di-ciaiona are in coa-
diet with the above, but it was through
no disrespect to Brother BL phi-n* that 1
made them. They are aa follow*:
“07. An agent tor any liquor estab
lishment (be that establish meat whole

having refused to comply with the

to resent in a proper w ay the imputation
tliat Tillman alone constitutes the
“Farmers’ movement.”
But if the agricultural Senators re-
seuted “Tillman dictation,” what influ
enced the other Senators? 1 will now
proceed to show that the farmers in the
Senate are not'alone to blame for de
ferring this bill. My old friends, the
lawyers, took advantage of the fuse
kicked up by Messrs. Youmans and
Wofford to plant i wly dagger in Till-
man’s aide and slap tlieir agricultural
constituents who have joiued the farm
ers’ movement in the faeo. This is
shown by the vote, as follows:

Miss Eunice Hill, daughter of
HMVV citizen
place, with her father’s coachman, Fred
erick Hicks. Hioks is twenty-seven
years old and is said to be a very dis
agreeable looking young fellow. It
appears that Hicks had been in the eui-
S loy of Mr. Hill for about ten months
uring which time Miss Hill fell desper
ately m love with him. .The young lady,
who is accomplished in every way, of
fimltless form and very beautiful, was
not only the belle of the village, but of
all the neighlxiring towns. Bhc taught
a class in Sunday school in her father’s
church and had many admirers. Borne
months ago the conduct of Miss Hill
and the coachman caused much village
hotel- gossip and it finally readied the father’a
ears. He was highly indignant and
threatened to kick nig coachman from
his premises. But Miss Eunice begged
him not to, as it would create a sensa
tion, and die finally succeeded in having
the servant retained. Recently Hicks’s
conduct toward Miss Hill was so objec-
tionable that-the girl’s father said
must go.
The coachman secured a situation in a
livery stable, but kept up a communica
tion with Miss Hill. Last week he came
to Mr. ffill’s residence and begged that
gentleman to take him back into his ser
vice. This Mr. Hill refused to do.
While the two men were in conversation
Mias Eunice quietly stole out of the
house and got into her lover’s carriage,
aa par arrangement. Tne- couple drove
at onee to Brewster'S, a neighboring vil-
i, lane, where-they were married without

their own. There ia much ground for
gratification in view of the development
of tho iron industry in the States where
it has taken sack a hold, but it would be
far, far better for the South if the devel
opment were more general and more
equally distributed. The impetus given-
to the iron burinees, it is conceded,
comes from without, and the profits
from that business will largely go out of
the South. While a good deal of money
has doubtless been made by Alabamians
and Tennesseeans, for instance, in dis
posing of their lands, the bulk of the
profits has gone to speculators who
bought up the lands in largo blocks and
at nominal prices. The control of the
lands, moreover, has passed forever out
of the hands of the people who live on
them, and the enterprises which have
been founded by small home capitalists
in the mineral districts are rapidly pass
ing into the possession of outsiders, as
has been reported in several conspicuous
instances.
Another and certain result of the great
rapidity with which the production of
iron in the Booth is increasing is that
the production of the same metal in the
North must be cheapened enormously,
or else the South will eventually monop
olize the iron industry. It is too much
to expect that the iron manufacturers of
Pennsylvania, for instance, will consent
to have their buidness crippled in either
h e 4way. It is probable, therefore, that
these will soon come forward and ask
for lower duties on ooal to enable them
to compete successfully with the South-

This is my answer to that request: I
will never grant a dispensation to any

discredit to the Order. In frequenting
this man’s place a member loses nil wits.

the spider of being “good-natured” for
