Our Future,

great future as regards development
and general prosperity cup mg be es¬
timated, if already known and expect¬
ed change* t«l<e place. The people
J ’•■.MlUii) <MI0lly lire alive to their
fciiirromidings fto 4 fti’o stirring them-
selves in such an admirable manner
that the|r efforts are certain to meet
with success. Our farmers are pot
like those we read of in other sec¬
tions who have became tired and dis¬
satisfied with their occupation and
arc seeking the towns and other <>e*
cupations, hut they arc contented and
delighted with tlieir outlook and cir¬
cumstances and expect to make the
most of them. A large portion of
the county is beginning to see what
great benefits will be derived from a
railroad to Uarnesville, and nearly
every fair-minded man is willing to
subscribe something. Thu agricul¬
tural development demands the road
shall be built that the best results
may be obtained from the farmers’
labor. The farmers of this county
have made up their minds, and there
is not the least probability that they
will change them that they will make
this one of the very best places to
live in the country. They are fixed
in tlieir determination to become itt-
dependant, and to reach this point
they will take advantage of e very
honorable line of economy, If the
railroad be completed the expect to
at once put up a guano factory and
cotton seed oil mill, arid probably
other manufactories at this place.
Then there i.s a strong interest mani¬
fested on every side (o improve out
schools so that the boys and girls of
Franklin county will not have to
leave home to get a practical and use¬
ful education--in short, the people
as a whole are anxious to give their
patronage and money to their home
county instead of sending them away
as heretofore, These high aims are
worthy of the .success they will cer¬
tainly meet if our people will cling
together. There are no better lands
in the state than cmrs, there is no
better citizenship in the South than
Ours, and all we need to make us eon-
spicouously prosperous is pluck and

Let Us Have a Free and Open Hacc.
There has been an under-current
of inquiry* being carried on through¬
out the county for several months to
ascertain, if possible, who was the
most available man to represent this
county in the next Legislature, We
have watelied the still limit with con-
siderable interest and have kept in-
formed as to the general and iinjmr-
taut developments, and not hesitate
to say that no man in the county can
claim oven half of the support of the
county. The only way to find out
who is the choice of the people under
most circumstances is to let the as-
pirants have a free and open fight.
The greatest danger to this plan is
that where there are several worthy
ispiianlii, that a had man advocating
bad principles might enter the race
and control a vote sufficient to elect
him. Such circumstances would de-
maud ;i Cinupioiuco on tlm part of
the more worthy candidates, AYe
hope there is nothing to fear from
the exception. There are usually is¬
sues to he made, and we believe a
candidate's view# should be open for
attack and vindication, and do not
think a man can fairly claim the suf¬
frage of the people without ;;n intcl-
I lif-vnt r- disc.iiDsioii of issues and an un-
irammelled expression at the ballot
box. So let us have a free anil upon
race.

The Progress cf the South,
'Hie progress of the Southern
States since they were fully redeemed
from the rapacity of the carpet bag¬
gers has been wonderful in all re¬
spects. la ten years they have risen
from stagnation to abounding pros¬
perity, and their material advance¬
ment has been greater proportionately
than that of any other part of the
Union,
in Jsko, when the improvement
was beginning, the assessed value of
the property of the fourteen South¬
ern States was only £2,()13,43(1,095,
In 1889 it was £4,105,400. Ac¬
cepting the estimate of the census of
1880 that tlic assessed value is only
M per cent of the true value, we find
that the South gained over §3,000,*
000,000 in property during that short
period,
In 1880 its production of pig iron
was only 307,301 tons. It 1880 it
was 1 ,500,702 tons. The progress in
this industry is going on at an accel¬
erated pace, furnaces capable of turn¬
ing out over a million tons annually*
being now under construction or con¬
tracted for in the region, Alabama,
according to the* Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt, possesses riches in iron which
“threaten the majesty of the north¬
ern iron and coal fields;” and “only
the southern sluggard 1ms hitherto
given tlic race to the north.”
In 18X2 the South produced 0,509,-
old tons of coal. In 188!) the out¬
put was 10,41)7,418 tons. The coal
fields of the South, extending from
Wheeling in West Virginia, to north¬
ern -Alabama, are practically inex¬
haustible.
The production of cotton was
2,*200,3 Id hales in 18(if>; in 1888 it
was O/tii*',200, and for the present
year it is estimated at 7,‘27)0,000 bales.
In other words, the Hontli is now pro¬
ducing about 7,000,000 out of the
10,000,000 to ! 1,000,000 bales which
constitute the whole cotton crop of
the world. Freedom is doing far
better than slavery in the raising of
the great staple.
The number of spindles in cotton
manufactories at tlu* South was only
157,854 in 1880. In 1889 it was
235, ‘208. The number of mills
during the same period has increased
from 101 to 855.
The increase in the production of
grain between 1879 and 1889 was
over 220,000,000 bushels, and the
percentage was much greater than
in the rest of the Union.
Those statistics, borrowed from the
.Manufacturers' Record, show marvel-
oils progress and development. They
show also a people orderly, peaceful,
iudust rums and harmonious; and they
[ j, n , vo t iiut. the race problem is rail
practically the serious trouble so
Itl;)I iy 0 f them imagine. White and

together and together are enjoying

development has only begun.—New
York Sun.
The prohibitionists have a right to
complain that the publishers ajid ed¬
itors of the Grady Memorial book
have not done justice to the great
prohibition orator by leaving out en¬
tirely bis great speeches for the
cause. Here is what Mr. Grady
wrote the night after prohibition was
defeated in Atlanta (lie last time:
“AA’hen oveiythtiig else I have said or
done is forgotten, I want the words 1
have spoken for prohibition in At¬
lanta to be vrmrqibered. I am proud¬
er of my share in tho campaign that
lias ended in its defeat than of my
share in all other campaigns that
have ended in victory. I espoused
its cause deliberately*, and 1 have
worked for fta success night and day
to the very best of my ability. Ajy
°nly regret is that my ability was not
| .greater. 1 he book is incomplete
without the above,
Henry AVaterson does not believe
in “booms,” In a speech to the
Southern l’ress Association at Churls-
ton ;i few days ago, he said: “AVhen-
ever and wherever you see a ‘boom,’
hit it. AY lion over and wherever von
soy a 'boomer,' spot him, The‘boom'
is the devil’s own invention, first to
rob the victim oi‘his money and the
‘booiner’ of lus sold. Cities are not
built hy •hooniers,’ et = ntr;es are
advanced hy them. 'hey are the
merest artificial stimulants compound-
( -d of brandy, printer's ink and mid-
night, and as fatal to the community
to which they are applied as a dyn:<-
mite sK*H, Tn’C prosperity* is the
diffusion of wealth, cheap homes tor
the poor and opportunities for ail,”

The Tariff Debate,
The character of the first day’s de¬
bate on the tariff bill almost excuses
the republican determination to have
as little of discussion as possible. No
party should he expected to allow it-
H' lf to he made ridiculous, if it can
help it, even though to escape ridl-
culc it mtist wrong its opponents.
Mr. McKinley's defense of his own
bill was absolutely pitiable. Ho
shewed himself just as weak in the
House as when, in the committee, he
allowed himself to be made the foot-
ball of contending interests, putting
on and taking off taxes in response
to the demands of those who kicked
him last. When he defended free
hides those who heard him knew that
ho would have defended taxed hides
just as readily, if the shoo men had
pot forced him to take the tax off
hides a few hours before the bill was
reported. When he spoke in praise
of the sugar bounty everybody knew
that it w;is a policy forced upon hint,
another policy having been adhered to
for months and only abandoned at
the last moment. They knew, too,
that since that change was forced
upon him the value of sugar trust
shares had advanced $7,000,000 in
the markets.
It is not at all wonderful that at
the close of Mr. McKinley’s speech
his republican colleagues should vo¬
ciferously demand a vote,
leader, the author of their tariff hill,
could say so little, then they could
expect nothing but hurt in debate.
It were better to have done with the
monstrous abortion in the shortest
time and with the least shame possi¬
ble. The crime against the people
would be the same whether commit¬
ted at once or at the end of eight
days.
Mr. Mills, who followed, has more
of the characteristics of a successful
stump speaker than is common in
great debater*; but be had no fliffi-
eulty in pointing out the absurdities
and false pretenses of the McKinley
bill. That would have been an
task for a much weaker man than
Mills. They are so patent, so obtru¬
sive, that the wonder is that intelli¬
gent republicans can pretend net to
sec them.— Macon Telegraph.
At the meeting of the Georgia
Teachers’ Association at Columbus a
few days ago there was a resolution
passed instituting a muling circle on
the C hatagnano plan for the teachers
of Georgia, covering a three years
course in pedagogy, history, science
an>l history. There is said to he
ah.m! eighty per cent, of the Georgia
teachers that have only a high school
education, and by this means they
wiil be able to cam* on their profes-
.-ion and graduate in these courses h ‘
three years.
