:. Some SUMMER Days.

Day by day the South gains better tone
The people are growing more hopeful, and cor
respondingly strong. 'a'en- t~
Through all these Statesl SO lately furrowcd
with cannon balls and sowsd with dragons
teeth there are springing up, and even budding
and blooming the beautiful flowers of peace
Our material interests are advancing With
pride and gratitude we make The record
Southern produce is going to market in un
told quantities, and millions and millions OF
| daiiafs are coming from the North and from
Europe in payment therefor. Here and there
the crops may have proved failure, but a
close examination seems to show that the fail
urcs are exceptional, not the rule, and that
throughout all the broad South the larger
number of titled acres have given grateful
yields. There has been more heart in the
"harvest-home" home songs than for several
years.
There is even now greater abundance OF
money in the South than has been for many q
long year. We have been gaining wealth
and what is better, the stern experience of lat.
ter years has taught US to be economical, pru.
dent, thrifty. The great business centres OF
the North have been saying, in view of pro-
posed enterprises hure, "There is no money
in the South. On the 2Sth ult, one New
York bank alone forwarded one and hall
millions of dollars to the South That bank
is only one of many now callcd.on to pour into
our Golfers
The glad evidences are that q portion OF
this wealth will be used, not in dissipation
but in building up the waste places of the
South. We have as We have said, grown
more thrifty.
In this general comparative prosperity the
city of Charleston and the entire State OF
South Caroline are, We trust, making n true
advance. The improvement may, to some
seem slow, but it is none the less sure.
With more money-makipg, come other and
great improvements. In Government matters
we are becoming more staSle, and in the mat
ter of general education we are certainly reach.
ing higher plane.
We have it is true, some drawbacks. some
difficulties. Clouds drift up now and then
But all the South is fast finding the sources Of
true wealth. Every true patriot should be
glad thereat, for added good to the South
means an added good to the nation.
