Wesjjgy, with one Richard Pilmore, late in the twilight of an autumn day, sought to hold an open air preaching service. Hardly had these impassioned men begun this service when an infuriated mob collected, yelHng and shouting at the exhorters. Led by a wild en thusiast, the rabble began pelting the three defenceless men with stones, whereupon they turned and fled for their lives. They found shelter from' the cruel missiles un¬ der a friendly hedge, where, ex¬ hausted, the^ lay prone upon their faces, till they fqlt it %vere safe to venture td a more secluded refuge. This they found, after the rabble scattered, in a spring house, where the cool water babbled and chir¬ ruped down the green garden, past the hedge, laughingly skipping through mead and along fern-fring¬ ed rock cuts, toward the great river yonder. Charles Wesley, with a tveice of beaten lead, amid the med k Rations of (his cheery refuge, as If his pencil had been dipped in in¬ spiration, wrote this hymn which now for more than one hundred and fifty years has been • , glad evangel in the story of Christ’s church. Their flight doubtless sug¬ gested the line: Let me to Thy bosom fly. The babbling waters purled the thought While the nearer waters roll. , As they washed their wounds aiidbrilises in (he cool flow, and dtank long and dbep of the rill of reflre*hnkfnt, there caine the pray¬ erful longing, _r; • - * 1 Ix-t the healing stream nlxmn<\ Make uml k«*i» me jmre within. T(^e third verse of (he original hymn is generally emitted, but it pictures forth their helpless ren. dition. Wilt TIh’H not regard my rail? Wlit Tln>n not uerept my i*r»yerP Lo!

Revived and refreshed by the fountain of living water, he wrote : Thou of life tl»f fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee. Spring Thou up within my heart, film to alt eternity The whole hymn is a photograph in m6lo<jy of their weary, heart¬ sick sorry, plight, 'with none other refuge than the bosom of their be¬ loved Master, in whose name they served and for w hose sweet sake tley suffered.

In an editorial on the develo ment of the south The New York World finds great signification in the fact that in the past three years “there has been a marked increase in exports from southern ports,” and says that the opportunities for 1; Vjt * ‘ southern development _ r v —■ were never more favorable than at present. In an intelligent survey of the field The World says: “On the whole the south has shown steady and healthy growth rather than the feverish activity of over-stimulation. The greater part of the immi¬ gration of the last twenty years has gone westward rather than southward, because most of the railroad building^of that period was westward. The exception proves the rule, for Texas into which more miles of railroad have been built than into any other southern state, has been enormously developed during that period in population and in facilities for pro¬ duction. As the last of the great tracts of government land in the west have been absorbed in the opening of Oklahoma, those who seek cheap homes hereafter must seek them in the south. Tl|e superiority of the climate in the southern states, the absence of destructive droughts and the variety of products give that section great advantages. Undoubt¬ edly the time has come for a greater activity in southern railroads and southern enterprises of all kinds than has yet been seen.” These are encouraging words. The south,by the progress she is making, stands prominently before the country now, and the work which is being done in the line of industrial developments is receiving cordial endorsement everywhere. This should stimulate us to renewed energy in bringing our wonderful resources to light. “The harvest is plentiful” but there is need of more laborers to gather it. Our international exposition is the south’s opportunity. Every soy them state should go to work with one end in view : the fullest exhibit of its resources in the great galaxy of states. The south must be on her mettle, and prove clear titlf to the claims that she has made. She will be on dress parade before the nations when the ex¬ position opens. And she must win the “wel| done” of the world. — Capt. J. P. Cleghorn The Os^tpsh (Wis.) Signal, in a recent article says: “Capt. J. F. Cleghorn, our candidate for' gov¬ ernor, is well known to the prohi¬ bition army of Wisconsin, he hav¬ ing been one of the wheel horses in the long fight against the liquor power. A Canadian by birth, his parents-removed early in his ybuth to Illinois, and it was there that her received an academic and legal ed¬ ucation. Soon after he was ad¬ mitted to the bar. the war broke out and he enlisted as a private; in a volunteer regiment. Here ability and bravery gained bim rapid pro motion and he rose by successive steps to the brevet rank of hcjtjfijilii ant colonel of volunteers.

Come Down and 'See Us The Public Ledger of Philadel¬ phia, discussing the work of the southern development meeting in Washington city, says: If the unemployed young men of our northern cities wore convinced that the south hejd out reasonable prospect of steady employment, that there wa6 a future for them there, the tide which had been flow¬ ing westward would move toward oyr southern states. Northern,also capital of the world, would follow the stream. The same magnet would attract muscle and money. The chief resource of the south is agriculture, but she is awakening to the benefits of diversified indus¬ try. Even in agriculture there is still great opportunities throughout the southern belt. With cheaper land many young northern farmers might find to the southward a pros¬ perous future. There is but one sure way to. convince the people of the north of the permanency of the advantages which the south offers, and that is, to have them come soutlj and see for themselves; Once Jierc, they will not be disappointed. They read newspapers that speak of south¬ ern progress and take their state¬ ments on trust: in other words, many of them only half believe the facts that arc .set forth from time to time. In every instance where northern men have personally investigated the claims made for this section by southern journals, they have either been sastisfied to remain with us or have invested their money in south¬ ern enterprises. The town of Demorest, in this state is a flourishing one. It was settled entirely by northern people, who, in keeping up regular com¬ munication with their friends at the north, have been the means of bringing capital to Georgia from all points. They came,looked over the field and remained with us. As to the second proposition in The Public ledger’s nrticle, land is cheap in the south. In most cases it requires little, if any, capi¬ tal to secure it. It can be rented on the most reasonable terms, and a small portion of the crops it yields is all that is required for the rental. Northern young men- who arc will¬ ing to work need not, therefore, be deterred from coming south by the price of land, or the perman¬ ency of employment when once they are enlisted in the work of farm development. All the conditions south are favor¬ able to capital and labor. The soil is fertile, the climatefii\e, the peo¬ ple hospitable.
