population of the United States will, in $780,
have reached 65,0OO,0OO, which is as much as
the population of France and Italy combined
But our increase in wealth and production is
far greater. In 1870 we had $1,000 miles of
railroad against $4,000 in 1880, an increase
of forty per cent. Our exports in 1870
amounted to s529, 100000 against $3.50, ,OOO.;
600 in 1879, an increase of thirty.eight per
cent. The increase in coal production from
1859 to 1878 was over sixty per cent. Our
agricultural exports in 1868 amounted to
s32O,O0O,O00; in 1878 to $592,000,00O-an
increase of eighty.6ve per cent. The cereal
products of the country in 1868 aggregated
1,450,7s9.0O0 bushels, including Indian corn.
In 1878 the total was 1855, 900, ,OO0-an in
crease of sixty.eight per cent In 1865 we
produced but 14S 100000 bushels of wheat
In 1879 the production of this cereal was
440, 100000 bushels. The increase in four
teen years was nearly 200 per cent. or 164
per cent. per year. From 1870 to 1878 the
cotton yield rose from 100000 to 5,2160OO
bales-an increase of seventy per cent. in
eight years, or at the rate of nearly nine per
cent. year. The expansion of American
manufacture has kept pace with the increase
in agricultural production. Philadel phia,
Pittsburg and Lowell now rank among the
greatest manufacturing cities in the world.

KINGS MOUNTAIN CENTENNIAL.

Quite respectable delegation of the various
committees representing this body convened
at KEGS Hotel Wednesday the 21st instant.
There was no business of Importance trans
acted further than resolution offered by Capt.
w. T. R. Bell for the removal of the principal
ceremonies to take place next October from
the battle-ground.
This was strongly opposed by Col. Wither-
spoon, of Yorkville, who said it upset the
former objects of the association, that he had
collected subscriptions from private individ-
uals to the amount of S464, and 1924 had al
ready been paid. He knew that those mdi-
vidualS had no idea that the committee would
even attempt removal from the battle-ground,
and that he was bound to enter his protest ;
that he wished to follow out the first objects
of the association and for that he had labored
in the South Carolina Legislature to secure
the appropriation of $1,000 against heavy
odds.
Coils. Johnston and Waring, of Charlotte,
favored removal to more accessible point {;
as also did Capt. j. NJ. Ivy and W. Waddy
Thomson, of York county.
|. COL Coward vacated his chair and protested
against the removal
COL Bratton, of York county, moved for
postponement and thought the cause might
be injured by deciding the question too speedi-
ly.
Rev. Robert Latham protested, and hit the
privilege characters some heavy blows
All the Kings Mountain delegation favored
the removal.
After much discussion the resolution was
adopted leaving the location i'll the hands of
the committee on location. Therefore, upoli
whatever action they may take will depend
the future success of the Kings Mountain
Association. They next meet at Greenville,
August 18th.

sette Of last Saturday. The members of the

SOUTHERN OPINION.

Many of the Southern Democrats who were
in New York attending the various commit
tee meetings last week, are disposed to resent
the statements attributed to Attorney General
Devins that bull.dozing had aldready begun
in the South, and that intimidation had been
carried on so far that in ten States it would
probably be beyond his power to enforce the
law, and that in several portions of the South
it would be impossible to secure Republican
deputy marshals wiz whom even to attempt
its enforcement With the view of ascertain
ing the true condition of affairs in the South
ern States, reporter for the Graphic called
upon several representative men from Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana
and Alabama, for their views as to the con-
dition of their States, the local feeling on
national issues, and especially as to the man
ner in which the colored people are treated.
These gentlemen represented the colored man
as perfectly secure in his political rights in
all the States named, and Mr.. Solicitor
Abney, of Edge6eld, made the following re-.
port of the situation in South Carolina:
"Since the election of General Hampton
as Governor, the negroes have become con-
vinced of the sincerity of the Democrats, and
have from experience been satisfied that they
will receive full justice in the Courts. They
care little for politics and recognize that the
men who controlled them during the ten
years succeeding the war ran the party al
most solely in interest of the carpet baggers,
many of whom were unmitigated scalawags,
and most of whom have since left the State
The few that remain have not made such
records as will retain for them the confidence
of the negroes who placed them in power, and
the colored men show themselves very willing
to vote the Democratic ticket, and act with
their old masters, in whom they never really
lost confidence. 1t is doubtful if there will be
any Republican ticket run in the State at all
this year, but there are certainly plenty of
Republicans who will willingly accept the po-
sition of marshals, and we shall have fair
election. We had bloodless campaign in
1876, and shall have another in 1880. De-
cidedly, the feelings existing between the
whites and blacks to-day are of the friendliest
Sort"

A CENTENNIAL LYRIC.

Mrs. Clara Dargan Mclean, who was select
ed at the meeting of the executive committee
of Kings Mountain Centennial Association,
held in Charlotte last month, to write lyric
to be sung at the celebration, signifies her
acceptance in the following note to the COM
mittee on correspondence
yoRKv1LLE, July p, 1851 have the hon
or TO acknowledge the receipt Of yours Of
June 28th, informing me Of the motion made
and adopted by the centennial association as
regards the preparation of lyric to be sung
at the Kings Mountain centennial, October
7th. The compliment is most highly appre-
ciated, and I accept it with the hope that, as
far as lies within my power, the poem will
prove worthy of the grand occasion for which
it is solicited. Yours, with great respect,

WHO CAN VOTE ?

An erroneous idea seems to prevail with
some that none will be permitted to vote on
the question Of Primary or Convention in the
election ordered by the Democratic Execu-
tive COMMITTEES, August 7th, unless they are
members of Democratic Club. To correct
this false impression as nearly as possible, we
will repeat what the Executive Committee
have heretofore stated as plainly as it is pos
sible to express it in words, that all Democrats,
white or black, who voted the Democratic
ticket in 1876 or 1878, whether members OF
Democratic Club or not, are entitled to
vote on the question. All Democrats, ire
spective of club organizations, are urged to
vote upon this question. The Executive Com
mittee recognizes the fact that there are many
good Democrats, who, for various causes, are
averse to attaching themselves to clubs, but
who have equal rights outside Of club organi'
cations and club government as the members
of the clubs themselves and in accordance
with the very essence Of the primary system-
to obtain the voice of majority of the par
ty-it is desired that all shall vote.
And again. The rules for governing Pri-
maries as adopted by Lexington and Union
counties, published in the last ENQUIRER,
have no bearing or effect whatever in York
county. They were published merely to IA
miliarize the people with the system, to afford
opportunity for canvassing and discussing the
subject, and making such changes and i'm
provements thereon, should the Primary plan
be adopted, as the circumstances in this
county would seem to require. If the Demo
cratic party, by their vote, decide in favor
of the Primary plan, rules for governing the
same will be adopted after such decision and
we doubt not the rules will be liberal and fair
for all concerned.

of Monday night that the case of the State
of South Carolina against Corbin & Stone,
the trial of which was commenced in the
Court of Common Pleas in Columbia on
Monday, Judge Hudson presiding, promises
to be long and interesting. There does not
seem to be any very sanguine hopes of recov-
ering the $4,000 which the learned counsel
have pocketed in the way of fees, for the rea-
son that neither of the defendants are known
