THE GROWTH OF THE SOUTH,
Statistics are said to be dull and
i stupid. That may be true as a general
1 thing, but when you take an inventory
of your property and liud that you arc
worth just three times as much as you
were ten years ago then figures become
more fascinating thau poetry and more
thrilling than oratory.
The south will back us up in these
statements. When "It pulled Itoelf to

nothing but bankruptcy and pluck as
capital in trade. IU motto was, “The
past is nowhere; the future is every
where.” and it drew its belt one hide

The Georgia, Carolina and Northern
railroad runs near old Appalacliee
church, in Hen Smith’s district, in
Gwinnett county. In front it takes part
of the land set apart for church purpos
es. Id order to arrive at the damage
sustained, assessors were appointed In
the usual way. The Lawrenccvillo Her

•essors allowed the church ten dollars
for damage to the land and ‘‘*100 for

The Nashville American suggests:
“The most brilliant Idea yet credited to
the administration Is the proposition to
mako Senator Blair superintendent of
immlgraUon. Ills exclusive Ideas would
show to fine advantage In that office. It
only remains to give him headquarters
at New Orloans, in close proximity to
the Italia colony, and his proper niche
In the govejnment will be filled, to say
nothing of the probable occupancy later
on of a quieter nicho out on tho SpaDtsh
Fort road."
The latest and most liberal estimate
of the total cost of construction of the
Nicaragua canal Is $100,000,000. That is
a big aum, but It would be a really pal
try outlay for the accomplishment of
such a magnificent and very Important
enterprise, and there is no doubt that
the commerce passing through the canal
would be sufficteut to pay a handsome
dividend onsucb an amount. No amount
of money la too great to expend in ac
complishing such a commercial necessi
ty as this cans). The only quostlop is
its practicability.

than ever, it has all tho natural re
sources which attract capital and enter

MISSISSIPPI STARTS THE BALL.
The big event of the Mississippi cam
paign, which has been waxing quite
warm of late, will come off ou Saturday
the 23rd instant, at Kosciusko. Senator
George and Major Ethel Barksdale are
billed to meet at that time and place and
discuss tbs sub-treasury scheme, the
former attacking and the latter defend
ing the measure.
This will bo the first of n number of
joint appointments that have been ar
ranged between the two. Both are
good speakers and men of character and
force who have been for a long while be
fore the Mississippi public.
Tho result of the contest will be folt
throughout the south, and tbo discus
sion will be watched from all quarters.
There are very few people who under,
stand the sub-treasury scheme, except
the picture of an Immense warehouse
which looms up in their imagination,
where the farmers can store cotton and
corn, wheat, oats, etc., and draw a big
pile of money from the government, and
this discussion may throw the needed
light upon the scheme.
It Is to be hoped that tbo speakers will
maintain a friendly feeling toward each
other and thus keep down anything like
a division In the democratic ranks of
that state A good humored discussion
will enlighten tho peoplo, but should ill
feeling arise between the speakers it
will be Imparted to the peoplo and
probably be the cause of a great deal of
barm. Gentlemen, keep cool.
Pahnell’s.cause is evidently waning
and it now appears as If division in the
Irish ranks will soon end. The New
York Timet says; “The defection of
the brothera Harrington from Parnell la
tho most conspicuous notification that
bos yet been made that the Irish leader
now remains without a following in his
own country. One of the Harringtons
was the only one of tho Irish envoys
who were in this country | when Mr.
Gladstone declined to co-oporate any
longer witli Parnell who declined
to acquiesce In the decision of
the liberal leadev. Since lie has returned
to ills own country and seen what the
actual effect of Parnell's headstrong
selfishness has been upon the Irish
cause, Mr. Uarringtou has simply vindi
cated his own character for patriotism
as well as for sanity by giving in bis ad
hesion to the party upon which the
hopes of Ireland unquestionably dopond.
It will bo a long time yet before the
Irish party is as strong as it was before
Parnell loet the leadership, for he was
trusted by the Irish people more Im-
plicity than any new man could bo.
COTTON STATEMENT.
From tho Commercial and Financial
Chronicle’s cotton article of May 10th
the following facts are gathered relative
to the movement of the crop of tiie past
week:
For the week ending Friday evening,
,\fay Nth, the total receipts reached
52,510 bales against 44,772 bales last
week, and 50,53<! bales tho previous
week, making the total receipts since
September I, 1800, 0,075,044 bales,
against 5,728,882 bales for the same pe
riod of 1880-00, showing an increase
since September 1, 1800, of 040,102 bales.
Tiie receipts of all the interior towns
for tiie week were 23,332 bales. Last
year tiie receipts of tiie same week were
5,071 bales.
Among the interior towns the receipts
at Macon for tiie week were 150 bales.
Last year tiie receipts for the week were
10 bales.
Tho old interior stocks decreased
21,000 bales during tho week, and are
122,4 48 bales more than at the ,ame pe
riod last year. The recepts at tho same
towns have been 13,383 hales more than
tiie same week last year, and since
Sept. 1, tiie receipts at all tiie towns are
580,845 hales more than for the same
timo in 1080-00.
Although the receipts at the outports
tiie past week were 53,51!) bales, tho
actual movement from plantation was
28,433 hales. Last year tiie receipts
from the plantations for the same week
were hales, and for 1830 they wore
5,001 bales.
Tho abovo statement shows that tiie
total receipts from the plantations since
September 1,1800, are 0,837,130 bales; in
1880 1)0 were 5,700,007 bales; in 1888-80
were 5,480,312 bales.
These figures indicate an increase in
tho cotton in sight of 741,223 bales, as
compared with tiie same date of 1800, an
increase of 020,001 bales as compared
with the corresponding date of 1880,
and an Increase of 800,028 bales as com
pared with 1888.
PLOTTING AGAINST THE ALLIANCE,
The Lincoln, Neb., Independent is re
sponsible for the following:
We are reliably Informed that a meeting of
prominent politicians was held In Omaha
not lent ago to devise ways and means of de
stroylog the alllanes and the Independent
party. They Anally hit on this plan: they
will pick out certain men in each alliance
and suggest to them that they ought to run
for office.. They will keepon In this way un
til they gets whole raft of fellows after ev
ery office. Then they will schem- around
end get eome man efier tlielr own heart nom
inated. Whereupon nil the disappointed
candidates wilt get Into a row and split up
the pa-ty. Those fellowt bate evidently
studied human nature end had a good deal
ofexperl-nce besldoi. They will undoubt
edly try these tnct'rs Will they succeed?
Thniull depends on the good sense of the
people. Every true alllHnceman should look
upon mere office tin dlu < as a matter of very
small Importance eempi-ed with the tri
umph of reform prlnctp'es. and fr twn down
any disposition toHaorlflce the latter t» tho
former.
That sort of a scheme is very much
liko a lot of politicians, but it can’t work
because the alliance is too strong and
it is principles, not men, that the farm
ers are after.

Mavou Shakesaeaiie; of Now Or
leans, is determined to root out the nest
of Italians in that city and is beginning
with Consul Corte, who is perhaps as
deep iu the dye as auy of them, in ills
letter to Governor Niohols, requesting
that Corte be recalled, he says:
If Carte hns ever had any usefulness here
ss consul be Use outlived It end become
through hie own act uol only sit unaccepta
ble person, butsn element of danger to the
community Iu that, by hts utteiancee, he iu-
clies his Inflammable people to riot or sullen
opposition to the laws end customs of the
country they have sought as an asylum.
Being a deposition, ns he confesses himself,
of crls^nsl secrets relating to Individuals ot
bis nee resident among M, he refuses to give
up in formation he has and thereby lucres see
thedanger to the community trOm these
criminals.
The billion dollar cougress uf the re
publicans is still the theme of public
discussion and will be to the end of the
next campaign. If the people could
only take in that stupendous sum and
know really what It means they would
not again touch tho treacherous party
that did it under any persuasion or - al
lurement. The betrayal of the people
iscompleto. The waste and extrava
gance are so enormous that oven a re
publican paper here and there ia con
strained to consider it. The
Washington post is edited by an
ex-Postmaster General and a re
publican. He puts tho case thus:
“The annual expenditure of the United
States are at present in round numbers
$450,000,000. The annual expenditures
for the noxt two years will be aboue
$500,000,000. So gradually has this enor
mous expenditure grown that the people
have become Insensible to iU magni
tude. Something of the latter may be
comprehended by comparison. The
United States Is the greatest wheat pro
ducing country In the world. It is the
greatest oat producing country in the
world. The value of last year’s wheat
crop was $334,000,000; tho oat crop $222,-
000,000. It will take nearly the entire
crop of wheat'and onts ln this country to
pay next year’s' expenses of tho govern-
ment." ’
