The Eusure Of me soush.


The comments Of Colonel "a. X
Mcclure, of the Phiiadelpllia Times.
upon the subject of southern manu-
features are most encouraging To the
people Of the south. He elisqsssstss
the resources and industrial needs
of the south ably and impartially.
and shows That there Il no field So
inviting to capitalists as the estab-
lishment Of cotton factories where
the staple Is raised. fIe says:
The manufacturers Of the north
must soon 20 south with their cot
ton-spindles and looms, and those
who go earliest will reap the richest
harvest. It is a violation Of ali tire
laws of trade to transport the cotton
a thousand miles to an inhos Ditable
climate, where r-p0Wer is u.i-
reliable third Of the year. and
where it necessarily costs more to
sustain labor than where tile celton
is grown. : Our struggling cotton
factories i'm Pennsylvania would be
earning from ten to thirty per cent.
on the great Water-pOwers OF the
Savannah or the Alabama, where
labor is cheap, where the climate IS
the most genial to be found on the
continent, and where the cOiton-lint
can be furnished fresh from the gin.
Instead Of mourning the expense of
packing, of transportation and Of
re-separating the lint, at much cost
to the fiber, the cotton should and
soon will be spun directly from the
gin by cheaper labor aud turned
into better fabrics than can be fnrn-
ished with all the skill of the north.
Those who say that capital is not
safe in the south either know not
what they say or mean to be nn-
truthful. In every southern state
there is supreme desire to have
the factory everywhere that the raw
material is furnished, and South
Carolina exempts every factory from
taxation for ten years. In both the
Carolinas. Georgia, Texas, Arkans-
as, Mississippi and Tennessee there
are regular emigration bureaus, not
only inviting, but urging white
settlers, and even Mississippi has
several of the largest and most sue
cessful factories in the south. The
cotton crop of this year will be
worth $500, G00,0 900, and when sim
ply spun into yarn it will be worth
nearly $500, 900, 900 more. Where in
all the world is there so wide and
tempting Il field dor Legitimate en-
terprise and large profits? | believe
that half the whole cotton product
will be spun in the south before an
other ten years, and the succeeding
decade will furnish southern fac
tories for the entire crop. The fac
tory and. the school will go hand
and hand in the south, and the fac
tory princes from the north will
next be bulldozing the black man
in the south to vote against the
present oppressive tariff upon cot
ton machinery.

the items being for whisky, tobacco
and snuff. Ire then wrote note to

OLD Cumberland river pilots tell
us that government lights are badly
needed at three different places in
the lower river. The dams at Hair
peth, Dover and Little River. The
shoals are very difficult running
at night when coming down. Two
lights should beplaced at each shOal.
We do not see why we are not just
as well entitled to this aid as
the Ohio. They are more badly
needed in our river. We hope
the subject will be brought before.

Among the Seminole Indians
there is a singular tradition regard
ing the white mans origin and SUI
periority. They say that when the
Great Spirit made the earth he also
made three men, all of whom were
of fair complexion, and that after
making them, he led them to the
margin of small lake and babe
them leap therein. The second did
not leap until the water became
slightly muddy, and when he bathed
he came out copper-cOlored. The
third did not leap until the water
became black with mud, and came
out with its own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three
packages of bark, and babe them
choose, and out of pity for his mis-
fortune of color, he gave the black
man the first choice. He took hold
of each of the packages, and, having
felt them, took the heaviest; the
copper-colored one then chose the
second heaviest, leaving the white
man the lightest. When the pack.
ages were opened the first was found
to contain spades, hoes, and all the
implements of labor the second en-
wrapped hunting. fishing, and war
like apparatus the third gave the
white man pen, ink and paper-tle
engines of the mind the moral,
mental improvement the social
link of humanity; the foundation
ot the white mans superiority.

SneeP VS.. Dogs.
Paris Intelligencer

1t is fact know to many people
that in the entire southern states,
comprising the cotton belt, there are
not as many sheep as there are
in the single state of Ohio. Yet
it costs almost nothing TO keep sheep
in the southern states, while the
cost in Ohio is considerable. The
grasses upon which they feed in the
south grows spontaneously, even
upon out-ca lands, fit for nothing
else, while in the northern states all
the grazing must be furni he'd from
the sources which add very much to
the cost of keeping sheep. The
profits on good sheep in the south
are very large, from fifty to one
hundred per cent, while it is not
half that in the north. The south
neglects sheep husbandry, and keeps
immense fiocks of dogs, the north
nurses sheep husbandry, and is
growing rich upon it. Can our far
mers explain this strange conduct :?
