Lynchburg is great center for
the tobacco trade. Last year there
were sold in the warehouses of the
city 26,o00,000 pounds ofleaf tobac
co. the largest annual sale in her
history, and larger than any other
Virginia city. There are now fully
one hundred tobacco factories engag
ed in the successful manufacture of
tobacco in its various forms, and EN-
ploying a very large amount of cap
tai and labor.

ABOUT the best thing that could
be done for this country at present
would be to abolish the ruinous
credit system. Too much business
is done on promises, many of which
are never complied with. Men who
buy on credit pay from 10 to 20
per cent. more for their supplies than
those who buy for cash. Where
credit makes one man it breaks
nine. This being so, why do our
people continue the ruinous policy
1t will break up the last one of them
in the end. 1t is only q question of
time with you.

sourH CAROLINA.

The long black night Of oppress-
ion and dcspotism through which
South Carolina has passed, seems to
be ended at last. The aurora of
liberty has at length broken upon
the vision Of her poor, down>trodden
people. The carpet-bag thieves
who have SO long fattened upon her
are about ITO take their
solitary way" beyond her borders.
That devoted State has indeed been
another paradise to them; and they
leave it with as much regret as
Adam and Eve left the garden OF
Eden they will "drop some natur-
al tears" as they cast their last
longing, lingering look behind
Hampton, the Deliverer, has COM
bined in his experience the fortunes
both Of Moses and Joshua. Moses
caught only a distant and hazy
glimpse Of the land of promise from
Pisgah's summit-ere died--the ec'
static transports, the goodly pros
pect inspired ovcrcame him; Josh
ua, more fortunate, crossed over the
river with the chosen children anc
entered, along with them, into th'
land which flowed with milk anc
honey. So with Hampton.
Hayes was forced to do what he
has done, in Withdrawing the FEEDER
al troops. The conservative senti'
ment of the Union demanded it, and
he was afraid not to do right. If he
will DO the same thing for Louisiana
where the same compulsory force
is not upon bim-but where the same
just, legal and moral obligations ii
upon him--wo shall give credit t.
Mr.. Hayes for having the manlines
to do his duty. To do that, howevo
he must run rough-shod over tn
certain action of the miserable Soon
mission" he has appointed. The
majority>verdict of that "Commls
sion" is already written out and only
waits to be signed by the foreman.
If observation, experience, exam
pie, be worth groat to Mr.. Hayes
he must see the policy as well as jus
tice Of doing his duty toward the PEG
ple of Louisiana. If he will look q
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tex
an, Tennessee, North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Arkansas, nosc and contras
their present condition with wha
their condition was when carpet bag
thieves and scalawag scouudrels hac
possession of those States, Mr.. Haye
can not err in seeing his line of duty
of equity aud honesty, however 81
much he may be adverse to pursuing
it.

"Newsy, spicy, Reliabie.' -
The Atlanta Constitution

Finder ITS NEW MANAGEMENT THE
| u Atlanta Constitution has won for itself the
title of the leading journal of the South. Its
enterprise during the recent election excitement,
| in sending correspondents TO different portions
of the country, and its series ofspt ca kilograms
| from Washington while the electoral commits
sion was engaged in concentrating the fraud
that placed Radicalisln once more in power in
our national councils are evidences conspicu-
Gus enough to prove that no expense will be
spared to make the Constitution not only lead
er in the dicusson of matters of public concern,
but leader in the dissemination of the latest
and most reliable news. There is no better
time than now to subscribe for a fresh and Wig
orous ne wspaper. Albeit there has been qua
81 settlement of one of the most difficult and
dangerous problems of modern Federal politics,
the discussion sprnging thsretrom and the re-
suits likely to ensue have lost nothing of their
absorbing interest In addition to this, the peo-
Pile of Georgia are now called upon to settle the
convention question, and i'll the discussion OF
this important subject lin which the Coastita-
ton will take Leading part) every Georgian is
interested. If convention is called its pro
ceedings will find thrir earliest and fullest en-
bodiment in the columns of toe Consultation,
and this fact alone will make the PIPER indis-
pensable 10 every citizen of the State. To be
brief, the Atlanta Daily Constitution will en-
deavor, by all the means that the progress of
modern journalism has made possible and nee
essary, to hold its place as leader of Southern
opinion and as puryeyor of the latest news. Its
editorials will be thoughtful timely and vigor-
ous-calm and arumentive in their methods and
thoroughly Southern and Democratic in their
sentiments. Its news will be fresh, reliable
and carefully digested. 1t will be alert and
enterprising, and no expense will be spared to
make it the medium Of the latest and most inn
porisnt intelligence.

II anybody ever gets behind Zach

found that the Louisiana Return
ing Board cost somebody forty or
fifty times that amount Of money;
otherwise, at least, Mr.. ]. Madison
Wells is rather an inconsistent
sort Of person. The conspiracy

has already cost the country mil
lions where the Returning Boards
cost hundreds, and the administra-

cost hundreds of millions more,
