We desire to call particular attention to the article entitled “South Carolina’s Amazing Progress,” from the New York Mail and Exprest, which is published in anothar column. This admirably written review of the business conditions exist ing in this State is presented in such a striking way as to chain the attention even of those who already know about them: with how much greater force, then, must it appeal to those who have never before heard the wonderful story of the State’s onward march? The article from The Mail and Express will, in our judgemnt, prove ‘one of the best advertise- ments South Carolina has ever had. It bears upon it through out the unmistakable ear marks of the Editor-in-Chief of that paper, a talented journalist of New York City, who, (we won’t say how many years ago,) grad uated at Union College, Sche. nectady, New York, at the head of a large class, which contain ed, among other distinguish ing (?) features, no less than eleven South Carolini- ane, one of whom was the present Editor of The Dar lington News. With the death of the late Col. F. Shepard (son- in-law of William H. Vander bilt) and the succession of the distinguished gentleman above- mentioned to his position as Managing Editor of The Mail and Express, we ventured the prediction that, under the lat ter’s control, and with the knowledge of the South which he had gathered in his earlier days from his association with Carolinians, that paper would gradually modify the extreme views it held in regard to this section, and for which it had be come famous. In this prediction we have been more than justi fled, and what TheMail and Ex press man saw of South Caroli na’s exhibit at Atlanta last month has put the finishing touch to the “change of heart” which was so greatly to be de sired in him. He who imagined that nine out of every ten men in the South met their death with their “boots full of blood” has returned to his Northern fastness after his brief and cau tious foray with a whole skin and with considerably altered views of the conditions existing in this section, and of those that exist in South Carolina in par ticular. Read his "little piece: ’ ’ you will enjoy it. QEN, GORDON IN DARLINGTON. On the 27th inst., there will ' occur in Darlington an event that will prove memorable in its history. We refes to the ad dress to be delivered then by that distinguished soldier and statesman, Qen. John B. Gor don, of Georgia. Rarely in the history of the country has an ad dress on any subject met with the enthusiasm with which bis w»s received when it was de livered in New York for the first time some three years ago. Since then it has been heard in almost every city and town in America, from the Lakes to the Gulf, from ocean to ocean, and always with increasing popular ity and favor. It was our good fortune to hear it in Spartan burg in July 1894, at which time we formed the resolution that we would spare no efforts to in duce Gen. Gordon to deliver it in Darlington. After eighteen months’ steady work on the subject, we have at last succeed ed. We cannot help feeling proud of that success, believing as we do that to hear Gen. Gor dan on the subject of “The Last days of the Confederacy” is a part of the liberal education of every Southern man and wo man—not only because he re presents, to our mind, the tiuest and best type of the old-style Southern orator, but because, being “Gen. Lee’s right'hand man” during the trying period which he discusses, he is able to throw light on a great many important matters about which even history is silent. Breath ing the very spirit of eloquence itself, humorous to the last de gree, so that his audience is kept nicely balanced all the time betwixt smiles and tears, there is not a dry passage in Gen. Gordon’s address from begin ning to end, and every man and woman in Darlington ought to hear him. We guarantee that not one of them will go away disappointed. And, ab>ve all, every old soldier in the County should hear him, if they wish to enjoy the gratification of follow ing again their distinguished fellow-soldier through some of the greatest compaigns of tho late war. If sufficient interest is mani fested to warrant the trouble of undertaking it, we will arrange for General Gordon to kelft a special reception for the Con federate survivors of the Coun ty at the Darlington Guards Armory on the morning of the 27th.
