GOVERNOR ATKINSON'S START.
the itrns remotty for the troubles of
Southern outturn producers wvi* not tho
reduattoa of ttoolr crops, but tho saving
of dm Kxnanao of sending their cut ton
to the North and to England to be man-
uftuttured. IIo thought that L the mills
to manufacture tbo Sautiiem crop were,
loaMted in Southern fields, and tbe
profit of uiBimfaOture thus saved to
this sedition, us iwcU as tho expense of
transportation, ittoat tho Soutli could go
on producing oven larger crop* than
now, awl find in them a steady awl In
creasing profit We believe that Gov
ernor Stone's Idea Is a correct one. Any
expedient for reducing the crop must
be iteimpomry In Its nature. If the
Sou-tli, healths raising tbe oottoc, .will
manufacture it, It will have most of
tho (profit .which may be obtained in
clothing the wank! with cotton goods.
Tlie roooni hard time* have brought

BUT THE BEGINNING.
When Mr. Atkinson won the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor, There
were not n few people w'uo seeii-’d to
ttilnk 'that bis success meant a division
In the party. If there was ever such
danger of division, It has passed uiwuy,
oaul its absence Is largely due to the
wisdom .with whldh tho uuw governor
has exorcised his aafthorlty. In his up-
pohtaionts there lias been no evidence
of the exie'.etiee of the “ritig" so p»'tch
talked alight during the campalgu. The
men -who wore said to make up That
ring have not lnvn prominent since
the campilgn, and it is now apparent
that If they took a prominent part In
the campaign itself, they did so in vin
dication of a .policy which they tliought
wise for nthle parry and for the people
of (he state. They might justifiably
huvo ekiimed Ithe rewards of success.
That (hoy harcutono so is, under all the
clrcunistancos, highly crwlitabfa to
them.
