A LEADER FROM THE SOUTH.
There be some writers and editors who in a kind of timid, apolo¬
getic occasionally suggest that it is time that the South §h>.uki
way write would infer
have a leader etc. From the wav moat of them one
that the South is and has been a mere province in this great nation in¬
stead of co-ordinate part of it. Let’s see what part the South has
a
taken in the formation and preservation of the United States.
The first blood Jof the Revolution was shed uot at Lexington,
Mass., but May lOiu 1771 ut Alamance, N. C. At Charlotte. Meelen
burg county, N. C., a declaration of independence was adopted on the
20th of May, 1775, more than a year before that adopted by the Con
tiuetal Congress at Philadelphia. Washington lead
In the war which followed not only did George
the armies of the Colonies, btft official figures shpw that the Southern
Colonies furnished a much larger proportion of the troops who won
the independence of the country than the Northern Colonies.
From the formation of the Union to I860, the South always let!
in the great events of American history
' in the war ot 1812 the soldiers who won the most laurels were
Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, and William Henry Harrison, of Vir¬
ginia; and in the Mexican war the commanders of both of our arm.es
(Taylor and Scott) were*Southerners. The majority of the brilliant
officers they gathered around them, such as Jefferson Davis, Albert
Sidney Johnston, Robt E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Joseph E. .1 oil n -
»ton, John B. Magnifier, G. T. Beauregard, A. P. Hill and others,
were Southerners, while a large proportion of the rank aud file of our
armies were from the Southern states.
In the war of 1812 the North furnished 55,552 soldiers; tbe South
with a smaller population furnished 90,812. The New England states
furnished 5,102, while South Carolina-alone furnished 5,090-500 more
than all New England. In the Mexican war the North furnished 23,-
5)54, and the South furnished 43,630. The New England states fur¬
nished 2,579, while the sparsely populated state of South Carolina
sent to the front 5,262.
From Washington to Grant, a period of 80 years, Southern boro
men filled the presidency ot the United States for 57 years, and Nor
them men only 23 year?, while Southern men filled the office of chief
Justice of the Supreme Court for sixty three years, and were always
prominent in the cabinet, die senai*-, the house of representatives, as
Foreign Ministers, and in every position of honor and responsibility.
Even in the great “war between the states” in 1861-05 tbe presi
dent of the Northern states (Abraham Lincoln) and his second vice
president and successor (Andrew Johnson) were Southern born men
us were some of their ablest soldiers and sailors.
It has been estimated tnat 500,000 Southern men fought in the
federal aruiy. About 700,000 would cover the Entire strength of the
Confederate armies.
Now in the name of common sense upon what basis can any man
place a claim that the South has not the material, ->r that the time is
not ripe for a national leader from the South. If the old argument
is used that the secession movement still relegates th- South to the
political rear, we "answer that tbe 500,000 union soldiers from Un¬
South who made secession impossible should bn given some credit.
“Tin- time record of the South is rich in patriotism, in intellect¬
ual force, in civic and military achievements, in heroism, in hon¬
orable and sagacious statesmanship.
Senator Hammond in a speech on the Kansas bill 185S said : “You
complain the unjust rule of tbe South; that has been another cause
that has preserved you. We have kept the government conservative
to the great purposes of the government. \Ye have placed here, and
kept her upon the constitution and that has be m the cause of your
prosperity, The Senator from New York says that it is about to be
at an end; that you intend to take the government from us; that it
will pass from our hands. Perhaps what lie says is true; it may be;
but do not forget; it can never be forgotten; it is written onjtho bright¬
est pages of human history that we took our country in her infancy, and
after niling her for 60 out of 70 years of her existence, we shall sur¬
render her to you without a stain upon her honor, boundless in her
prosperity, incalculable in her strength*, the wonder and admiration
of the world. Time will show what you will make her; but no time
can diminish our glory or your responsibility.
The South is just as capable today as she ever was and more so.
The real statesmen with few exceptions in Washington hail from the
South. corruption and graft the
Through all the period of southerner has
come through with an untarnished name. He has kept the faith; he
lias fought a good fight, hence forth he must receive the ciown. For
our part we prefer to follow a leader from the South than one from
the North, and we believe that our brethren agree with us. Lot’s
have a Southern man for the next leader.
THE DELAYED TRAINS.
The service of the railroads is almost beyond human endurance.
It is absolutely futile to calculate time according to the published
schedules of the railroads.
The other day tbe editor of The Enterprise took a little trip of a
hundred and fifty miles, and it took him two days to make the trip.
At every little station could be seen groups of traveling men waiting
*0 id raging because of a belated t.ain.
People have quit asking “is the train on time,” but “how late is
it?” talking. Out said
Two drummers were to the other. ( < If a train
were to burst and fly up into tbe air how long would it be in coming
down?” The reply wast “If it went up on time, it would be tweuty
minutes late in reaching the ground”.
If tbe editor had to use the Southern railroad to any great extent
lie would develop into a first class (?) cusser and crap-shooter.
The traveling men while away the time in pitching dollars, shoot¬
ing craps, telling jokes aud “cussing”. We did not cuss any, but we
heard some cussing about the trains that did not grate upon our ears
as much as it would have under ordinary circumstances.

success of Cole’s Original Hot Blast Stove, have imitated and copied
it ever since it was put on the market. But in looks only have they
