growth has been slow, 1t has been

In the south now than at any former

days ago we presented statistics
from the Charleston News and

increase in the number and capac>

Carolina. We trust that this is but
the beginning of new era in that
respect, not only in South Carolina
but in Tennessee and every other
southern state, Where we now
have one cotton factory with cap
ital of $4,000 we should have
twenty, with capital Of 100000
each.
We have more rolling mills,
blast furnaces and foundries in the
south than at any former period,
but we want fifty where we now
have one. We have an abundance
of the best iron ore and coal, and
competing for the iron trade, we are
able to defy the world. In our is

completion of the Cincinnati South>

southern industries never felt be-
fore. The possibilities of the future
are such as to stimulate our people
to the fullest exercise of all their
industrial powers. We believe that
the hope expressed by Gen. Grant
at Galveston last week, that the
south night become so prosperous
as to forget sectional lines, will be
realized, and that before the close
of the present century our section
will reach that coveted position.

THE FUTURE OF The SOUTH.

The future of the southern states
in this country was never more
hopeful than at present. The OBJ
structions to our prosperity are be.
ing gradually removed, and We feel
sangulne this section will, before
many years, be in the very moons
tide of prosperity. We have
among US the elements Of wealth
and independence in high degree.
The cotton states produce supply
of that important fabric for the
world. The border states, 80 called,
produce an abundant supply ofbread-
stuffs. In Tennessee, Alabama. Ken>
lucky, Missouri, Virginia and North
Carolina, we have coal and iron
enough to supply the world. But
heretofore, for the want of
energy and enterprise, we have been
sending our raw material to the
north and to England, where it was
manufactured into such articles as
we etded, and sold back to us at
an enormous profit. Tousea hack
neyed but expressive phrase, we
have been "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" for our more en-
terprising neighbors. We have
contributed to building up their
mammoth manufacturing enterprises,
and to the increase of their wealth,
and while they have grown rich we
have grown poorer all the time.
This has been largely owing to
our system of labor. We
had unskilled slave labor
while they have had skilled
free labor. But since slavery has

No people in the union should
join more heartily in the proposed
centennial celebration of the battle
of Kings mountain than those OF
East Tennessee. The "riflemen

checking the advance of the inso'
lent Ferguson is part of the his
tory of the country. He was ad-
vancing through North Carolina,
threatening to burn villages, and
punish the patriots in every way his
devilish ingenuity could invent.
But when he met those
sturdy mountaineers with their
intrepid, brave leaders, and unerring
rifles, he was compelled to capitulate
and their gallantry did much to re-
viye the dropping spirits of the
American people when such thing
was much needed. Yes, let us join

Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, March 26.-No one
will regret to learn that the woman
who has held so much of public at
tention within the last few weeks, as
the accuser of Senator Hill, of
Georgia, has left Washington and
retired to her former obscurity.
Her departure was entirely unex-
pectel, and quite sudden to herself.
Wednesday night she sat with a
party of ladies at the place she was
stopping, and expressed her indig-
nation at the afidavits Senator Hill
had filed charging her with threaten
ing his lite. Sue said she never
had an idea of shooting him, but
would remain here until she OBJ
tanned justice. What she wanted
was money to support the child, but
she cared for nothing herself. This
conversation took place about s
o'clock Wednesday evening. Thurs
day morning she was up early, paid
her bill, and started off on the hale
past seven train for Georgia. On
Wednesday she was entirely withoul
funds, and even begged a dime tc
pay her car fare to the capitol
Thursday morning, when she paic
her bill, she had large sum 0.
money, and displayed il
so carelessly that a man
at the hotel told her she had better
be careful or she would be robbed
She was so flush that she distributed
her funds freely among the servants
at the hotel, and gave the porter a
dollar for his trouble in purchasing
her a railroad ticket. When asked
where she got her funds, the woman
replied that she had friends enough
when she could find them. Senator
Hill denied to-day in the most posi-
tive terms that he or any of hi,
friends had paid Miss Raymond
money, but it is absolutely certain
that she got a generous windfal
from some direction, and it is quite
mysterious from the suddennes;
with which it came.

WE congratulate the Republicans
of Knox county upon the harmony
which characterized the proceedings
of the county convention yesterday.
We noticed among the delegates the
best men in Knox county, whose
names will give weight to the action
of the meeting. Of course there is
some disappointment among the
friends of those who were defeated,
but this is unavoidable. But one
man can be nominated, and it is
natural for those who are not and
their friends to feel disappointed.
There is no reason why the nomi-
nees should not receive the full vote
Of the party. W. II. Swan
Esq, our present trustee, il
too well known to require an intro1
duction to our readers through
these columns. He has served the
public in more than one position
and in every case has gone out of
office with clean hands. His hon
esty and fidelity will be universally
acknowledged. He had no opposi-
ton and was nominated by accla-
nation. ..08
We have known G. B. Gossett,
the candidate for sheriff, ever since
he was small boy. We knew him
as school boy and we knew him as
plough boy. We knew him as q
"boy in blue" and served with him
in the Union army. We can say
for him that he never shirked duty
or danger. He was always "pres-
ent and accounted for" When
orders were given to go, he always
went, without stopping to calculate
the probability of coming out with
life and limbs. He was a good and
true soldier. He has served for
several years as deputy sheriff, and
We have never heard word of com
plant that he did not do his duty
we'll. He Is not blessed with large
share of the worlds goods, being a
poor man, but his integrity will not
be called in question. lie is an
honest man. He is we'll qualified to
discharge the duties of the office,
and, if elected, will make good
sheriff. Now, that the ticket has
been chosen, let us unite and elect
both the sheriff and trustee in Aur
