Our Southland.
Tbs Cotton Planters*, Journal
presents this rosy prophecy, which
rre trust is true: . • •
“Silently and almost imper
ceptibly has the era of prosperity'
pome upon our beloved Southland.
Jor many years Southern' indus
tries lingered in the lap of leth-
4 rgy and longed for some fostering
father to bring them to maturity.,
flere and there individual efforts
arose, only to fail for want of
jj e ]p. Eastern and Western en
terprises had ‘the go* on the
South, and passions and preju
dices prevailed against her, which
Choate’s Winning Reply.
“That reminds me,” laughed the
Senator, “of a claim that I was
once interested in, and when it
had dragged along, and finally

troller, I carried it to the Supreme
Court and got Joe Choate to argue
it for me. Well, the day that
Choate made his argument the
Comptroller, of course was pres
ent togrepresent the Government,
and Choate was firing away in his
usual brilliant fashion, and tvas
making a strong, clear showing
and claiming everything under the
time and truth had to remove., sun for our side, when one of the
Northern and Eastern capitalists
had an erroneous conception of
Southern people and Southern
ways. Any loud-mouthed, weary,
worn, sawed off renegade politic
ian could bray in the North, and
put to flight all her financial feel
ings for the South. The press
and the public of the East, were
alike prejudiced against anything
in the South. But thanks to the
beneficence of Providence* “the
scales are falling from the eyes“ of
our fellowmen. Prejudice has
been put to flight by the light of
truth. Factories are springing up
all over the South, and the march
of progress has been as substantial
as it has been secure. The long
list of enterprises, existing and
being promoted in the South,
since the dawn of our new year, is
both wonderful and wise.
“The procession of progress
started in our Eastern-Southern
states, ancLis triumphantly trav
eling over the entire South. The
Tirgimas, the Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama are famed as the
‘‘Fall River“ of the South in cot
ton manufacturing, and Missis-
sippij Louisiana, Texas and Ar
kansas are well up in the proces
sion. It can be no longer said
that these states are exclusively
engaged in agricultural and mer*>
chandising pursuits, but have
added many manufactories to
their business curriculum. Both
home and foreign capital appre
ciates the abundant raw material
*®f the South and are investing im
mense sums of money to utilize it.
It is as the “Dixie” in its April
number saps: “No prophetic ken
is required to foreee that with the
incomparable advantages offered
hy this section, their operation
will in time be more successful
than such industries anywhere in
the world, and that others will
follow them, and others still.
Some born of home capital, and
some faaced here by the stern law
°f self preservation, till the
Southland impregnablv enthroned
u Pon the God bestowed advantages
"Wfil rule the commercial world.’‘
This era has certainly set in,
*od the rosiest pictures that spec
ulators ever painted, pale into
dull drab and duller gray, in com
parison with the sunset-tinted
0 stiny of the South now begun. O

“ ‘If this claim is as clear as
your argument and your brief
would show, why has it come be

“ ‘Why, your honor,* replied
Choate with all the suavity of
manner of which he is possessed to
such an unusual degree, ‘it has
been brought before this honora
ble body because,’ and here he
swept his eyes over the Comptroll
er, ‘a small-headed tack,’ and he
measured off on his finger an in
finitesimally small space, ‘got in

And the Senator finished with a
hearty laugh at the recollection of
that claim, and we laughed with
him. .... -
“Did the court laugh?*’ asked I.
“No, but there was a suspicious
twitching of ta$es and a restless
movement among them which be
trayed that the point was not lost
upon them. Neither was the case
lost,” wound up the Senator.—

Just now our country needs a
religion that will make a man
pay his debts,” says the Methodist
Advocate. “Shouting won’t set
tle old Accounts with God or man.
We bounce right into a fellow and
put him out of the church if he
goes to a ball or theater, but never
say a word to the old scamp who
never pays bis debts. Preachers
and people who do not pay their
debts are doing the church more
harm than dancers, for there are
more of them in the church. Read
ers, are we getting close to you?
Then lay down your paper and go
and pay up and read on with ease.
And don’t you stop paying because
the ‘statute of limitation’ excuses
the open account which you made
for bread and meat. You must
pay it in cash or God will, make
you pay it in fire and brimstone.
God knows no such excuse for not
paying as ‘homestead exemption.’
When you raise that excuse to
keep from paying debts you can
stop singing ‘When I can read my
titles clear to mansions in the
skies.’ You’ve got none up there.”
