THE SUNNY SOUTH.
Thoughts OF q Northern Man Located
There-A Probable Future Alliance
OF the south and Northwest.
CORRESPONDENTS L. Crosse Chronicle

Correspondence L. Crosse Chronicle.
KINsToN, n. c., August, 1SS2.-Tne
political situation throughout this
country is gathering crowds and hot
discussions between corner loafers and
small fry. as well as the most distin-
guished men of the land. It is signiti-
cant of approaching elections and party
strife.
Time was when the voice of the
south held mighty sway and national
affairs all became subser.ient to her
dictation. There came change. A
long and bloody struggle was the result:
The south lost all its grandeur and
power because she was unsuccessful in
war. Then the mighty east became
dictator of this fair land. Powerful In
numbers and wealth, they have legis-
lated to protect their interests. Soon
1t too will have to succumb to the
power of events. The east will hardly
do battle to retain Its grasp OF the
helm, for her power will not have been
of long duration; but as the plains OF
the west become peopled the balance
of power will gradually go thitherward
-
the hands of men who have grown up
with new country; who will have
grand and lofty views. 1t requires no
seer to prophesy for the future. The
events l outline for the future will
prove as correct as the history OF the
past. No better proof of our assertion
is needed than that all congressional
legislation for a long time past has been
in the interest of the west. Again,
three presidents have come from the
west and it is altogether probable that
the next one will come from there also.
Well, you say, what of ii? l will an
swer in this wise: southern people are
beginning to view the situation in its
true relations. They see no earthly
hope of regaining power. The star OF
Dixie set at Appomatox. But all Is
not lost; she will yet realize some great
benefits, but not "by way of the east. y
New England ideas don't suit, her in
| terests are not ours. She will eventu-
ally grasp hands and journey on "by
way of the west" The progress Of
events has almost reached the turning
point. The south and the west are
strictly agricultural. One grows king
cotton, the other feeds the millions
Does it not at once strike the thinking
ones why the people OF the two sec,
tons will go hand in hand? They viii
do so because their interests are the
same.

JOHN TYLER'S NOMINATION.
Hon. ThurI0w Weed on the WING
Convention of 1910.

Hon. Thurlow Weed, in a long letter
to the Wilmington (Del) Gazette, re-
views the work of the whig convention
of 1910. Speaking of the nomination
of John Tyler he says: Another polit-
ical "Reminiscences" if not already
known, cannot fail to interest your
readers. In 1910 the nomination for
vice president, as have previously
stated, having been declined by Mr..
Webster, event begging" Mr.. Rush,
of Pennsylvania, would have been
nominated if it had not been deemed
important that the candidate should
come from southern state. Among
the names presented were HI. Watkins
Leigh and john Tyler of Virginia, Sen
ltor Mangum and Edward Stanley of
North Carolina. T. Butler King of
Georgia, Hugh l.. White and John
Bell of Tennessee. When it be-
came apparent that Captain )"
Tyler, who was delegate, was
taking an active part in favor OF his
own nomination, Messrs. Josiah Ran
dali and Nc Kennon of Pennsylvania,
General Wilson of New Hampshire,
Mr.. Ashman of Massachusetts, Edward
Kent Of Maine, Christopher Morgan,
K. NJ. Blatchford and Simon Draper Of
New York, with myself, made Il sue
ination of John Nj. Clayton of Delaware,
: for vice-president. This purpose was
defeated, however, by Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, delegate from Maryland,
who stated that he was authorized by
Mr.. Clayton, should that gentlemam's
name be presented As candidate, to
withdraw it. That settled the question
i'll favor of John Tyler, with results and
consequences alike disastrous and dis
creditable to the whig party and the
country.
While we were all deploring the recu,
sancy of Captain Tyler" l met Mr..
Clayton in 4 train on my way to Wash
ington. In conversation with him |
remarked that if he had accepted the
! nomination for vice president, instead
of the decentralization of Washington
we should have been rejoicing in a re-
liable wing administration. Mr.. Clay
ton, with perplexed look, inquired
what | meant. l related to him what
had occurred ut the national conven-
ton. He theL said that he had, in -
conversation with Mr.. Johnson, re-
quested that gentleman to withdraw
his name from the convention in case
it should be presented as a candidate
for president against his friend Mr..
Clay, adding that the question of vice
president was not spoken of by either
of them, remarking that if the conven-
ton had surprised him with the nom
nation for vlce-p president it would have
been cheerfully accepted.

Jackson's Old Servants.
Lippincotts Mag azine.

Visiting the Hermitage not long ago,
found two old servants who had belonged
TO Gen. Jackson and had never left the
place where they were born. Not those
of the old hero's own blood could feel
greater pride of birth or a more religious
reverence for his name. The present in
cumbent of the Hermitage is n lady in
feeble health who never receives visitors
So Aunt Oracle was our ciccrone. That
Gen. Jackson was the greatest man that
ever lived is as fixed in her mind as the
eyes in her head, and she feels that his
lightest word has a value demanding
caution and dignity in her repetition
She took US through the house showing
us her masters books and sword and fa-
vorite chair, this last comfortably facing
Washington's armchair, so that neither
need be moved an inch if ever the two
great ghosts want 10 talk together in the
dim old room. Then we went through

it in its wanton growth and neglected
wealth of roses. We seated ourselves

face. "Ile said if dar was mo- ter tell,

in a solemn voice. BY this time her
husband, Uncle Alfred, ragged hat in

was rather obscure, but we inferred from

Wolseley thinks that if the war office
is bound to cut off this nice little per-

make the decision unquestionable under

are that the pressure of exalted per-

Build on Hard-Pan,

The Rev. Robert Collyer delivered an
an address to the students at Easton Col
lege, in the course of which he remarked
that he had worked on farm, carried a
hod, shod horses, broke stone on turn

well, cut wood, and preached sermons
that nobody wanted to hear. His Won
derful success had been achieved by pure
down to hard-pan, he said, to lay foun-
dation to fame and fortune.
The reverend gentleman seems to have
drawn most of his inspiration from Poor
Richards Almanac. His aphorisms may
re graoped as follows
Work is good medicine.
A mans best friends are his ten fin
gers.
Society says one thing and nature says
another.
Any kind of an honest job is better

This seems to be an excellent oppor-
tunity to impress upon the young and
rising generation the immense advantage
they will secure in the race for fame and
the more substantial rewards of human
effort if they early acquire habits of
promptness and regularity in the ais
charge of the duties of the hour. Sir

Henry Todd, of Darien, is the richest
negro in this State, and possibly in the
South. When youth his master died
and left him his freedom as a reward for
his faithful attention during the slave
holders last sickness. Young Todd was
so esteemed by the family that they
insisted on his remaining in their employ
and paid him a handsome salary.
BY the aid of white friends he soon
became landowner, and then prosper
GUS farmer. He soon had enough money
to hold slaves himself, and he purchased
several as a matter Of economy. When
the Confederacy fell he lost twenty
negroes and some money in Confederate
bonds. This severe blow was in n
measure counteracted by his good fortune
in having on hand a crop of cotton, which
then brought fifty cents a pound.
After the war he continued his farming
operations, but also engaged in the lumber
bdsiness. His remarkable success
continued, and to-day he owns two large
lumber mills and exports very extensive
ly. He is sixty-fve years old, and has
an excellent education. His wealth is
variously estimated, but one who knows
him well says he is wortbSl00, 600 in good
investments.
