great and Important an event in an m
dustrial way of firing on Sumter and

parture which in the end may make in
the Southern country New England
filing it with furnances and factories
and laying in it the foundations of
busy industries which are now mon
opolized by other sections Of the cOun-
try. The letter In another column on
the subject from Mr.. Edward Atkin-
son will be attentivoly read and
studied not only in the South but in
the North, which has so keen an in.
terest in the material prosperity and
well being OF the whole Southern
country. 1t is to be hoped his sugpes-
tons and recommendations to the new
Commissioner of Agriculture will not
be lost or forgotten as soon as read.
Unless all sections Of the country
keep equal pace in industrial and
commercial development it is very
certain that we shall continue to have
jealousy, i'll will and estrangemept in
eur politics, We must have a South
ern as well as Northern industrial
paradise. IF the general government
can aid in work Of this kind. and r.
Legislation is necessary to secure the
end in view, let US by all means have
the aid and the legislation.

Death OF Major w. II. Mcclure,
The death Of Major W. R. Mcclure
occurred last night at Rockford, nine
miles from Knoxville, Tennessee. The
deceased left here several weeks ago

passed from earth, leaving a wife and
three children to mourn his loss. For
several years past Major Mcclure has
served as Secretary Of the Memphis
Board of Education and as Librarian
Of the Odd Fellows Hall Library. He
was prominent as an Odd Fellow and
was also Knight of Honor. Major

elsewhere, and he was exceedingly
popular wherever known. All will
hear of his demise with poignant
regret.
