. i£ SOUTH CAKOUMA.
For some time tbe most exag
gerated reports have been in circu
lation, as to the condition of the
people in many parts of South Caro
lina. These reports were sent to
-northern newspapers and made it
appear that in some of the counties
* the people were on the verge of
etervatlon. The News end Courier,
.With Its characteristic enterprise,
has sepured interviews and tpeclsl
dispatches from the various sec
tions thus reported and these re-
. ports show that in many caseasucb
a statement is wholly groundless
and In all the other* grossly exag
gerated. The troth of the situation
in South Carolina Is ihat the state
is prosperous, and despite the fact
. of a short grain'crop last year the
people have plenty to eat.

A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
.WHAT A COIBZSFOIIDENT TOVHV IM
THE SOUTH.
n to
M. Quad, writing fi
the Detroit.' Free Press,
Let one spend a couple of hours
in almost any Southern cemetery
and he will be amazed at tbe num- .
ber of headstones erected In memoy “ 4 ” * dJl
of old people. It seems as if three
out of five were over 80 years old
at tbe time of death, and it is not
an unnsual thing to find stone after
stone recording tbe age at 00 or
upward*. The proportion of chil
dren’s graves bears no comparison
with our Northern cemeteries. At
Augusta, where I had the cariosity
to make a count, I lound that fo-
every person dying under 20 years
of age there were two who bad lived
to be' over 60. For every child
under 12 there were three who had
passed SO. Tbe climate about
Macon is so genial tbat a winter
hotel there would always bo filled
with Northern people runningaway
from the rigors of our winters.
There is strong talk of erecting
such a hotel, and a dozen One sites
are at band to select from. There
is no winter to speak of in a coun
try w lers peach trees .blocin the
last of Febuary, and where every
garden vegetable is fit for tillable
before tiie North bos ber April
showers.
No Northern man should go
South expecting any vacancy in
mercantile life, for he will find none.
The trade and traffic of tho South
are peculiar to itself, and are better
left to the pcoplo born and reared
there; but the South is to-day offer
ing such advantages in fruit and
truck raising, general agriculture
and manufacturing as should make
tnat country an El Dorado for all
seeking a change or an investment.
Any one acre of peacb orchard or
vineyard aronnd Macon is paying
more clear profit than any twenty
acres on any farm in tbe North.
Fifty acres of Georgia farm will
make a large cash return for crops
raised and sold than any 100 acres
in tbe North. This statement can
bo proved a dozen times over, and
by Northern farmers who have
made tho change. \VI13’ any Michi
gan or Ohio farmer will eet bis face
towards the blizzard country to be
gin life over amid the snowdrifts
and long winters, when the South
offers him so many more advanta
ges, is a matter or mystery.
The eountry around Macon is a
natural garden spot, and while the
soil Is not extremely fertile, tbe
climate favors any cereal and almost
every fruit tbat can be grown in
tho North. Great quantities of
melons, peaches, pears and berries
are shipped from this point, and
the business is rapidly increasing.
Lands within reasonable distance
of tho city arc now held at very
reasonable prices, but five years
from this the prices will have doub
led. One who does not travel in
the South oan have no Idea of the
hopeful teeling entertained by all
classes. Tbe South is just begin
ning to realizo her own value in ag
riculture and climate. Her people
are each'year growing in that in
telligence which makes agriculture
profitable—in tbat common sense
which puts tho past behind them
and brings a brighter foturo. You
hearnowar-talk in tho South. Yon
bear no politics among tho masses.
You cannot find one man in 10,000
who has any bittorncss of feeling.
Tbe pcoplo are working with an
energy whioh Northern men do
not dream of to build np their
towns and cities, improve their ag
riculture, develop their mineral re
sources and make their slwro of
this country a credit to the nation.
A porticn of the Northern press
so studiously and maliciously mis
represent tbe South in tho matter
of law and order that people are
ireventcd by their fears from oroao-
ng the Ohio river. It is true that
tho South has its murders, but take
tho country State by State, and
tbe North has three to its one. It
la true a negro is laided now and
then, but ii the samo man lived in
tbe North be would probably be
lynched Instead of whipped. There
are more burglars, thieves and bad
men arrested in Detroit, Cleveland
and Buffalo in one day than la the
whole territory ot Georgia or Ala
bama. You may epend a month
South and not hear a quarrel or see
a drunken man; yon may visit half
a dozen jails and not fled an aver
age of two white criminals to each.
The life and property of alaw abid
ing man arc as safe In Georgia or
Alabama os in the District of Co
lombia, and the standard of mor
ality is far higher. There le more
real neighborly feeling In the South
to-day for a Northern Immigrant
than ho can find in the West. He
is sized up for what he is, and if
be is tbe man to tie to tbe men who
fought him in war will fight for him
tajjcaco.
