Sam Jones is not an ordinary man;
neither is Sana Btual But the,
ehould carry out their temperance, and
let politics alone. The democratic pur
ty has no second or third party. The
republican party may like a comb na
tion.
Demooiutic papers have but little to
say concerning the republican ticket.
Tiie feels that there arej mote
news of national importance to put be
fore the readers. There is not the
of the republican no mi

The Press Association has met and
parted. The boys have gon heme and

other season. They were trea’ed well
while in Gaine villa, anl wooud np
with a gorgeous exclusion to Chata

said drinks—addresses were made.
1 he New York Herald natively
remarks that “when the Southern
girl can jump a pea-vine rope of
home manufacture, the South will
be truly on its legs again. May
we all be there to see.’ I —[Banner-
Watchman.
Yes, and when the Southern
girl manufactures her own cotton,
then she will not have to pay 40
per cent, to the Northern girl for
a “pea-vine rope to jump!’’
Three S a'es claim Mr. Tbu-rnfcn--
North Carolina, because his motbei’a

It is not known what fcha'e Esae*
may spring before the people after the
Gubernatorial (Invention; but the
adjustment of the State real will be
one of consideration. Anew base
mast be made. Sen. B.own wants
pay for imi roverants. This will go
before investigation. If the State jus',
ly owes Mr. Brovo she should pay
him.
Dr. II ay good, in his speech at
Emory College commencement,
made use o" the following language:
“The elementary education of
the children of the whole people is
the duty of the state. It is the
common interest, the common ne
cessity, as well as the common de
fense. And the very argument
that makes it the duty of the state
to provide, at public expense, for
the elementary education of the
people, forbids the state at public
expense, to give to the few who
seek it, free college or university
education.”
Correct. The state has no mor
al right to tax tlie people to give
free education to those who are
able to attend the university, to
the neglect of poor people who are
unable to incur the expense of
sending their sons to the university.
Trying to Kick out of the Harness,
From the large delegations irom
each Beat in the county at the Con
vention, it is a fact well-known,
they were not going to take off the
bridle, but nominate, and did so.
Now, these very same men (or
at least some of them) are trying
to kick out of the harness. They
are not satisfied with the nominee.
Gentlemen:—Who nominated
the democratic nominee? Did you
not willingly submit to the voice
of the
and there, was the time to break
the traces. Not after you have
welded them in democratic princi
ples! It is too late, now, to cry
out dissatisfaction! None who are
loyal to the principles and organ
ization of democracy can do it.
And, the traitor! he should be ex
pelled from democratic ranks.
Your plea for “dissatisfaction,”
is a flimsy excuse. Nay! Ixion,
would hardly have grappled for it!
You wanted a two-third vote to
rule in the nomination! Why did
you not have it? About a dozen
voices voted for .it. While you
(and you were largely in the ma
jority, too,) voted it down.
Go to work and do your best for
the democratic party—work for
the nominee. Cast off prejudice;
look not upon defeat. Cast your
will to win, and victory will un
furl the democratic banner to the
genial breeze of next November.
Southern Possibilities.
Gen. Ira P. Jones, editor of the
Nashville, Tenn., Banner, and a
man who is noted for his soul and
business views and accurate and
extensive information, says this of
the South;—
“At present we are going through
a course of healthful and perman-
ent development, The South has
all that is needed for self-support,
both in agriculture and minerals,
and a vast overplus for the rest of
the world. Our rice, cotton and
largely tobacco, together with nav
al stores, in this <Jt>untry, belong
exclusively to our latitude and soil.
The world is already relying upon
our timbers for the very best land
marine structural materials. The
finer timbers of the South are to
day giving ornament to the best
hotels and finest drawing rooms in
England and France, while our
great oak forests are furnishing
Germany, France and Italy with
coopering stud's. We have not an
area of timber land in the South,
ofanykindor wherever located,
that will not constantly increase
in value. There is not an acre of
virgin forest in the entire South
which will not pay a handsome in
terest on the investment at present
pr ces Capital could go blindfold
locate anywhere, and n >t g> atQ.o
“As to m Ihh'lß he same is -.rue
Th* trm r.i have ye on© lesson to
>***rn, t*v*t j. to produce their o vd
neee-'-ary domestic supplies and semi
their unused surplus of all kind* '0
those who want them, either a hum -
or abroad. The aveiage soil of the-e
states, will yield a greater variety and
in greater a unJance of cueh product.*
as the hauiau race requres Irom both
necessity and luxury, than any other
similar space on the face of the earth.
Nor are there on the globe rn tqu .l
number of people who arc at this mo
ment so prosperous, so healthful, anl
so contented, I include in this stae
meut the negroes, as well as the whites
and challenge statistics. The reas a
of this is plain, but little undeistood.
Tie gnat proportion of this soil is
underlaid with elay or stone, largely
limeuone. It may wear and wash,
bit iu either case can be restored and
fertility perpetuated. The climate far
ors all classes, in bo h their Work aid
health.
“As to mioeials, which you specially
ask about, all sorts are more or less
abundant. Stone of almost every me
tal variety is here and there. Mar
bles ol every variety are well known.
Some of our Southern S.ates are now
furnishing each other and the North
with granite. The various lime sand
and cement stones are found in many
different localities 1 . Lithographic st< ne,
now supplied exclusively from abroad,
will be found in quality to suit the
demands of that splendid printing art
in the near future. Gypsum and phos
phate together with various marls for
fertilizing, are alieady worked to ad
vantage in several localities. The
days for firebrick and for pottery and
terracotta work, and kaolin for the
best dslft and erockery ware, are foan 1
in paying quantities.”
