| "Ask for the old paths, where is
the good way, and walk therein.n-
We are heartily sick of the sspro
gressive" twaddle so flippantly used
nowadays by many writer's. The
Old Testament, the Old South, and
the Old Democratic party, have all
received some hard blows at the
hands of the socalled progressionists.
The old Testament was a bungling
work which needed revision, said
these wiseacres the old South, by
Implication, at least, was lazy and
shiftless, and the old Democracy is
purblind, lame and halt, say these
modern free thinkers and progress
sionists, and they propose to abolish
the old order of things, told fogiesn
and all, we suppose. However,
there are many of MS who have no
quarrel to make with the old order
OF things; on the contrary, prefer
to task for the old paths, where is
the good way, and walk therein.n-
We know all the foot.logs on the
route, it is a good road, too, and
we don't propose to be misled or
jostled off, either.

Northern capitalists are investin g
largely in the South, and the ques-
ton arises as to what good it will do
them to have this section handed
over to its lowest and most corrupt
bic elements What greater secur.
ity do they need or can they have
than from Democratic rule7 What
benefit can accrue to them or to the
country from the triumph of the men
of the guttere Why should they in
the North lend aid and comfort to a
set of men in the South whom they
would not tolerate nearer home :?
Giving adventurous Importance to
Mahone's ragged followers and their
reputation scheme, is not the way
to improve the South as a field for
investment. More, it is a great
moral wrong, a scandal and a shame,
perpetrated by the politicians, but
which the conscience of the country
will not always tolerate.
