with meritorious young men coming
among them, strangers in search OF
fame and fortune, they took him by the

honors upon him, and who will say that
he did not richly merit and repay by
faithful service the favors theybestowed?
At an early age he was elected to the
Legislature from Franklin county, and,
in a body composed of the best in
telIect and talent of the State, he
at once stepped to the front and
was assigned leadership and distinc

elected Speaker of the House, and never
were the duties of the office more ably
performed. He subsequently served as

THE Corinth Herald says that THE
CLARIoN's policy of accepting negro
civil rights as one of the inevitable
results of the war and of lessening the
evils of ignorant and irresponsible
suffrage by treating the new voter
kindly, instructing him in the way he
should go, and participating in the
election of members to the Convention
which framed the present Constitution,
instead of holding aloof as too many
did-was "the true political policy, and
those who took the responsibility of
these advanced ideas twelve years ago,
now have the satisfaction of seeing
them endorsed by nine-tenths of the
Democratic party" This is all true.
Time has abundantly indicated the
wisdom of the course then pointed out !;
but, alas, it has not repaired the injuries
that resulted from its rejection. But
does our friend of the Herald ever
remember that the leaders of the
ttrue policy" though they have never
swerved from it, are styled ''Bourbons,
and that men who were loudest in de-
nouncing it, are hoasted pillars of econ
servatism," and some of them have
become roaring Republicans?

Several cotton mills in Mississippi,
notably the mills at Wesson, Natchez,
and Enterprise. have afforded unmis-
taxable evidence that this species of in
dustry can be made to prosper in our
State when judieiously managed They
are doing a good business, and two of
them at least have been compelled by
the pressure of business to enlarge their
facilities for expeditions work. While
the people of the South have, all along,
claimed that, the manufacture of cotton
yarns and the coarser kinds of cloth can
be carried on more cheaply, and there
fore more proftably, in the South than
in the North, and while the results of
the well-managed mills in Georgia and
South Carolina strongly support their
claim, they have pleaded the lack of
capital as their excuse for having sc few
in their section. But it is
gratifying to know that they are leaning
that capital is made by labor, and that an
Industrious people can make capital as
well as import it. A small MILL. if
managed, will mannfac-
ture capital as well as cotton, and thus
grow into large one-precisely IS III
the case of the Natchez factory, which
has made money enough to double its
capacity. All the mills in South Caro-
lima and Georgia are aecumulating cap
ital every year, and many of them are
turning it to the very best account by
investing it in additions, engagements
and improved machinery. There is no
lack of labor in the State that is the
kind of labor needed in manufacturing
