The State Democratic Kxccuth© Com
mittee has inaugurated a campaign of
education: and it is the programme that
Democratic literature of the lieat type
be distributed among the people; so that
all may be |K>ated upon the iaaties of the
day, and be prepared to give a icason
for the faith that lain them
It is highly deair able that every man
in Sujntcr and adjoiuing counties take
Tut: Timkh-Rkcoiiukii during the cam
paign, as it will contain, not only all
the news, hut important Democratic
facts and arguments that every good
Democrat should he posted on so as to
work intelligently for party success.
A good paper is one of the iudispeu-
sable weapons in this campaign; and
every Democrat in this district should
not ouly take it himself, but see that
Ills neighbors, especially those who sre
being led oil Into the darkness of Third
party ism, are supplied witli wholesome
Democratic truth, siich as Tiik Tim km-
Kkcoudku furnishes from week to
woek.
Go to work for the party by subscrib
ing at once for your homo paper; tho
price for tho next throe months covering
the presidential election in November Is
only twcntydiveceuts, and you can uo»
only invest that small sum for your own
good, but you cannot spend a few quar
ters to better purpose than to send Tiik
Tiuks-Kkcokihli; to some of your erring
neighbors, whose minds are being
poisoned by tho fallacies and tnisrepre
sentation* which fill up the mischief-
making organ- of the Third party.

The yield of cotton, the great Southern
staple, has nearly doubled in ten years,
reaching ’.',000,000 bales in 1801. There
has been a marvellous advance in the
production of rice, sugar and tobacco.
The grain product increased during the
decade from 400,000,000 to nearly 700,-
000,000 bushels. The value of chief
agricultural product* waa nearly |200,-
000,000 greater in 1801 than in 1SS1.
Ten years ago the annual output of
coal mines was six million tons; today it
la twenty-three million*. Then less than
half a million tons of pig iron were pro
duced; now the output is two million*.
Then the capital Invested in cotton seed
oil mills was three and a half million
dollars; now It i* thirty millions. In
.Southern cotton mills twenty-two'thou
sand more operatives are employed now
than ten year* ago.
Iu raitioad building and traffic, in
commerce and business., corresponding
stt ides have lieen made. Tbe railroad
mileage has been nearly doubled. The
rise of exports from N-utbern ports
amount* to nearly a hundred million dol
lar*. National bank* have increased in
ihiimIhu from tw * hundred and twenty
to tlx hundred at.d forty, while their
capital I,as risen from forty-live million
to a bundled million dollars. Iu 1881
tbe assessed value of proi>erty in tbe
South was less than three billion dollars:
iu lsf'l it was nearly live billions.
These ate merely some items of ten
years’ Southern progress. The resouiec
of the South are boundless. Its coal
aud iron deposits, "always the found:'
tion for the greatest prosperity, are so
great ns to defy competition.” Its for
ests of hard wood suggest vast indus
trial possibilities. “In the great mineral
and timber belt which stretches from
Virginia to Northern Alabama there is a
concentration of mineral and timber
wealtli greater than can be found in any
otlior eipial area In America nr Europe
with ideal conditions for its proper de
vclopment."
Such In outline Is the story of South
orn progress and promise told by Mr-
Kdmouds. Bright lined and rosy as it
is It Is not a picture of fancy. It bris
ties w ith facts and figures that give it
the clemeut of reality.
To the cynic, the pessimist, the calam-
Ity prophet It may be discouraging. To
every one who rejoices in national pro
gress it is something for congratulation.
Southern prosperity is American pros
perity. .
All praise to the South for its past
achievement*. All succers to its future
enterprise.
lint a few years ago it* territory waa
dotted with fresh battle fields that told
memorable stories of devastation. Its
lu'ople were Impoverished, its industries
paralyzed, its future clouded. Devas
tated by war, oppressed by rccors’ruc
tion legist tlion. menaced by Northern
political domination, the South has
shown a pluck ami enterprise and
achieved a success that cannot fail to
command tbe admiration of tbc world.
May it move steadily on in the highway
of industrial and commercial progress.—

The Kepublicans of the whol

fail. If they were to sen
ity ia the House of Iteprescuiaovm mo |

Mind, we do m-t concede I iy any mean*
that the Heptibliean* will carry the- next
House of Hepresen'.'itives. They can
hardly hope to do so by fair means. But
they will not seruple to use foul means
if these be found ne- sorry to the suc
cess of their sectional policy. At the
Hepuhlican ratit'.ca'iou meeting, held In
Washington City- on Monday night last
ail the speakers, we are told, clamored
for "a" force bill, and hea|>ed the vilest
calumnies upon the Sou them people.
There is now In force a Congressional
election law which might be used to an
noy the Southern people in the fall elec
tions. In tire absence of the pro|n>sed new
force hill this old law may be employed
to the annoyance of the white people of
the 8011th, We must bear th * In mind,
and when the Kepublicans of Virginia
or any other State call for the enforce
ment of the existing law we must em
ploy tlds fact ns testimony to tho further
fact that they are in favor of the infa
mous force bill which a combination of
Democrats and Silver-State KepiihKeans
defeated in the last United States Sen
ate. If that infamous bill had then bo
urne a law, the Southern people would
now have been in a more deplorable con-
lition than tiny were in during recon
struction days. What folly, then, to
think of dissolving the solid South nt
present! Tlds effort to accomplish by
means of a Third or a uew party what it
rould not hope to effect by It* own en
deavor*, is a tnv it confession that the
Kepuhlican party has really nothing to
hope for in the South. We are to** well

putative* they ■ decidedly Interesting, not only as fore
shadowing to a considerabledegtec what
the drift of political sentiment will he
,t' in November, but on account of the fact
that some representatives in the next
congress are to Ire chosen at these elec
tions Du the lirst Monday Arkansas
w ill elect governor, state officers and
legislature. Ou tho lirst Tuesday Ver
mont will elect governor, legislature and
congressmen. On the second Monday
Maine will elect governor, legislature
and congressmen. Two representativ
for the next congress have been chosen
thus far, and these are from Oregon.
Tlo- remainder of the congressmen will
not lie elected until November. Among
the Northern states Iu many Instances
since the close of the civil war, where
the elections for state officers have gone
Democratic, they have the next succeed
ing national elec'lon given victory to
the Kepublicans. Tbe sentiment upon
which the shifting of majorities waa
baaed was largely sectional, resulting
from the passions and prejudices engen
dered by the olvil war. But now since
that struggle I* a matter of the dim past,
the state elections are measurably safe
indications as to the trend of sentiment
which will prevail at a near succeeding
national election.
Till: assurance of Democratic success
In November becomes doubly secure
when we learn that Chairman Ilarrity of
tho Democratic National Committee was
once captain of a baseball team. The
same qualities that go toward winning
the pennant will come Into play in win
ning a great political victory. Both re
quire boldness, skull, energy and know!-
edge of men, and ability to handle them.
No doubt Chairman Ilarrity will shut
out Chairman Carter. Our cheerful
hojie of the future is somewhat dark
ened. however, when we remember that
Chairman Carter was once a book agent
If he retains the qualities of brass, keen
Incialvcnes* and knowledge of humanity
uaually attributes to a book agent, he
may prove a match for our cx-captain.

But fortunately for the respectability

refuses to canvass Sumter county to in

Tlie same is regarded true of the can

THE WHITE VXtTF. IS AIJttlAMA.
There has sprung up a controversy-
over the white vote. Who got it? So
far ns we are concerned we do not attach
much Importance to this Issue. The dif
ference is small either way. It never

tlie white votes east for Captain Kolb
were by Kepulillcaiih and Indepvndvnti.:
men wiio have been fighting tlie Demo

publicans and force bills and till tlie
evils to tbe Ninth which that party rrp-

Tills is the essential fact about a

the university has raised its standard,
