The Future of the South.
Colonel J. B. Killebrew, of Nash
ville, Tenn., has been for years intern
ested in the material upbuilding of
tbe south, and whatever he says bear
ing upon this line io sure to claim at*
tention. Colonel Killebrew is deeply
impressed with the outlook for ,tbe
future which the present war has
kindled, and on this point he thus
expresses himself:
I look for a wonderful movement
of capital toward the south When thio
war shall end, for it is a strange thing
that the intelligent people of the north
have heretofore been more ignorant of
the advantages that the south presents
than they have been of the advantages
which are to be found in China. It is
a strange thing that this ignorance
has been nursed by prejudicies as
great as ever narrowed tbe minds or
clouded the intellects of a great peo
ple. We obeli see better limes here
after ; the war has broadened us; it
has dissipated prejudices; it has made
pa one people, such as we have never
been since the declaration of indepen
dence. A patriot should seek to de
stroy sectionalism, because no man
can be a patriot whose love for ’ his
country only takes in tbe half of it.
Travel and information disseminated
in proper localities will finally make
us a homogeneous people, more ap
preciative of the whole country.

ONE BURRED TO DEATH
, Another Negro Dies From The Effect
of a Fright
( . Wade Oxford, a negro living on Mrs.
M. E. Nelson’a plantation, one mile
from Willfameou, had hie house and
household goods destroyed by fire last
Friday and hia 12-year old daughter
■ was burned to death. The girl tried
to start a fire to the cooking stove by
a liberal application of kerosine oil,
when the can exploded and before the
flames could be extinguished she was
’ burned to death.
, Another death occurred near that
httle village the same day, which was
i the result of e. severe fright. 3 A negro
Datnqd Hicks gave his wife a brutal
whipping » few day* since, when she
sworn out a warrant against him and
papers placed in the hands of
Baifilife Johnson and Dingier.
Before the officers could find Hicks,
* bis wife bad forgiven him for his rough
treatment aad he returned home to
spend tbe nights, but kept out of sight
of the officers during tbe day.
Tbe officers went to 'Hick’s bouse
before day Friday morning and de
manded bis surrender. The appear
ance of the officers so frightened bis
wife that she died within a few min
utes.
It was thought by some that she
bad been poisoned by Hicks, but an I
autopsy made by one of the best pby- <
sioians of Pike county, at tbe coroner’s I
inquest, proved that she bad been ;
frightened to death, and such was the <
verdict of the jury.
