The new growth and development of the
South is at last recognized even in Europe.
The English papers have hitherto been
deceived by the stories told by the Repub
lican papers of the South,and have formed
the most erroneous ideas about us; but
they now appreciate that a new era has
dawnsdjtere.
The London Standard, the second largest
paper in the world recognizes how the tide
has turned. “Perhaps,” it remarks, “the
holding of a great exhibition or world’s
fair at New Orleans this year may set the
tide running in this new direction all the
more rapidly for having bee so long held
back. New Orleans is moving as all tho
South moves, and has caught the fever of
progress. So well litis its "World’s Show
been advertised that thirteen foreign
nations have app’iod for space aggregat
ing 200,000 square feet in its coming exhi
bition. Holiday trips from all over the
Union at least, and perhaps *from many
parts of Europe, will this year flow toward
the city that guards the mouth of the
.Mississippi. Tho States and territories
of tho Union, too, will viejwith each other
the display of their products; and in this
competition, neglected though thoy have
boon, the Southern States will hold a place
of which they need not lie ashamed. In
many respects it has lrecn good for them
that they have been left alone. Thoy have
progressed more slowly, but aDo more
surely, than if they had been exploited
by ihe capitalist and company-monger
from the Northern States or from England.
But their progress has lieen soiled. Tho
coal and iron industries of Alabama, for
example, arc healththier to-day than those
of Pennsylvania. In other industries, also,
the progress has been little less remarka
ble. The Southern States enjoy, of course,
A practical monopoly in the production of
American cotton, and it would be foolish
to institute comparisons with regard to
that branch of agriculture. Till lately,
however, somerof tkeso States have dono
little more than grow the cotton, but now
the cotton mills of tho South, principally
in Gerogta, have made strides toward
equnlty with those of New England. A
recent estimate places the capital invested

K. C. GRIFFIN, Ag’t,
Bainbridge, Ga., May 22, 1884.
Mr. Tlldcn and the DeiHdcMcy.
No sane man can longer doubt that Sam
uel J. Tllden will be nominated by Aeclama,
tion by the coming democratic eonvdntioA
—if he i<? alive and will accept.the nomina
tion.
Never In tho history of this country
has there boon such a movement made for
any one man. It is universal, spontaneous
overwhelming. State after state has de
clared for him, and those states that have
not instructed their delegates aro known
to favor his nomination.. It Is our earnest
honest conviction that there will not bo a
vote cast against him, if his name Is put
before the national convention. In ail the
length and breadth of the fands we do Got
know of a candidate, save Butler and Me-
Dunrdd, whose claims are not cheerfully
surbordinnted to tho claims of Mr. Tllden
and whoso campaign is not based on tho
possibility that ho may not accept tho
nomination.
P-has been charged that there is sorrf'-
Aking beside Tllden in'the Tilden move
ment. Tkore is one other thing. Thero
is victory. If there Is anything elso we
know nothing of it, and we believe tho con
stitution was the first paper to renew the
discussion over Mr. Tilden’s name after
it had been withdrawn on authority of the
Now York Sup. We have no socond choice.
After Mr. Tilden there aro a half-dozen
men between whom we have no sort of
preference.
We believe Mr. Tilden will be nominated
by acclamation. We believe he will accept
the noniiniit ion. If he does ho will be over
whelmingly elected. That is all tkeee Is
in the movement to us—or, in our opinion,
to anvbody else. It is a movement for
democratic victory made In the interest of
a man who discourages it by ail the mesnfi
in his power. *
The most of tho Georgia counties rnrict
on next Tuesday to elect delegates to the
state convention. Wo believe the democrats
of Georgia are overwhelmingly for Tllden,
and they should send delegates to Atlanta
who will see that Tilden delegates aro
elected to Chicago. Those who claim that
the Tilden movement is not really for Til-
don, cannot object to having the delegates
elected squaroly as Tilden delegates. That
is ju3t what wc Should like to see. If this
is done, we should be perfectly willing to
soo them go for any othor man for second,
choice. We are for Tilden first and last,
because Tilden means democratic victory.
It will Tie well for the people to turn out In
force at the Tuesday meetings and elect
men to Atlanta who will faithfully carry
out the views of their constituents.—At
lanta Constitution.

cent, within the List half dozen years. At
the same time the expansion in the cultiva
tion of cotton has been such that tho
average crop Is n<*v fully double what It
was in the days of slavery. • “A panorama
of this kind might be almost indefinitely
extended. We might descant on the orange
groves of Florida, the vast forests of
Arkansas, fast dfsap{>earinff, on tho, cattle
ranges of Texas, and the rieo fields of South
Carolina and Louisiana. Enough, however,
has been said to indicate the abounding
wealth of this half-forgotton region hi the
United States.”
The S^irfdard believes that tho time of
the South has come again, and it calls at
tention to the fact that the capitalists of
London are turning their attention to
Southern investments, and that company
after company is being organised for the
exploration of the old Southern States. It
warns us, however, not to fall into the
error of the North anil build railways far
beyond our ueccessities—not to mortgage
the future. It is^ better that the South
should develop slowly instead of attempt-
ihg to-fdreii fin artificial and premature,
growth. “The South.” it says, “is not the
country for huge land-grabbing companies
nor for rsilrosd schemes like those that
have demoralized the North and West. Its
rivers are its natural highways, and its
fertilo soil yields the best results in the
hands of the small cultivator, os tho success
of the negro cotton farmer proves. We
trust, therefore, that the attention to bo
given this year of these Southern States
will not lead to the generation of a specula
tive rush of the kind whose inevitable end
is a financial collapse: Should it not do so,
we may expect to sec thorn make great
and lasting progress within the next few
years. Lmigrants will flow toward them,
industries will spring up any expand,
wealth wil 1 accumulate until, it may be
this part of the Union will resume its place
as the dominant section of the great Fed
eral Republic.”

concerning the reported puurchase of

the

Gen. Joe. Davis had a slave named Ben
Montgomery. He was so very sprightly in
childhood and early boyhood that the Gen
eral made him a special pet. Ben was a
pure blooded negro, but manifestly of a
high type. He had woolly hair, but his
features were as classical as those of an
ancient Roman. His master not _onl*»

taught in the best manner. He wa., sent to . .
