Birmingham, Ala., is to have three blast furnaces erected at a cost of .$700,000, She may have suicides and murders, but her en ergy will go on. 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 ntes being elected. The Press Association has met and parted. The boys have gon heme and t ken their lespective places for an other season. They were trea’ed well while in Gaine villa, anl wooud np with a gorgeous exclusion to Chata nooga, where several--we like to have 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 home was there; v irginia, because he Ws born on 'Virginia soil, and O do, because he has spout much the greater part of iiis ife n that Sta e Now let ns see which of tho thr e will g : ve their son the biggest m jority.— [Clarksville Advertiser. 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.” A. C MOSS. ATTORNEY AT LAW, HOMER, GEORGIA.
