Boastfulness may be neither wise nor
profitable in individuals; though 1T is
doubtless true that mankl0d measures
men by their own metes and demands.
But self graduation and encouragement,
when the subject is one s native land, Is
allowable and patriotic; particularly
when ones country has undergone un-
limited and unmerited abuse from all
quarters of the civilized world during
more than generation of time.
Moreover our present Boast shall not
be of the Heroic, Historic Past, but OF
the Energetic, Expansive, Future; not
political sentiment but practical patriot
ism. Many Southerners will sigh that
the Old South. of Song and Story, has
succumbed to ''Yankeeism' and Cen
tralization" We too regret it, tenderly
! and bitterly. But we recognise that 1t
| is une fat dccompi; it is fact, set
tied fact; and there is no stopping the
march of Modern Ideas" so called.
We may resist them, and retard them
] continue an hopeless struggle until the
generation now in the cradle arises to
take the sceptre of Direction from our
hands. But there is this view; if we
recognise that the Old South is dead,
and that Modern Methods must hence
1 forth prevail, why should we daily, and
hesitate. and refuse to realize the many
GooG, and Profitable, and Progressive
features Of Modern Civilization?' p Nc

Could the value of the other farm pro-
ducts be obtained, it would vastly swell
the above figures, large as they are.
The fruit crops of the South alone are
annually worth not less than $75, 900, 900;
and there are immense quantities of veg
etables, footing up several millions OF
dollars, yearly shipped north. Southern
timber is in itself a source Of great
revenue. How great for future devel
opment can readily be seen when it is
remembered that the area of the South
is over 526, coo, 900 acres, of which only
about 10000, 900 acres, or 13 per cent,
is improved, leaving about 456, ,O0O.O
acres yet unimproved, and of this land
a large part is capable of the highest
cultivation while the bulk of that
which is of no value to the farmer is of
much value to the miner and the manu>
facturer as it hides the rich treasures of
gold, iron and almost every other min>
eral known to this country. The rivers
and bays of the South TEEN with mil
lions of fish and oysters, and these will
in future years be of ever increasing
value. A distinguished member of the
United States Fish Commission, who
had spent many months In investigating
the fish bery interest OF the Atlantic coast
from Maine to Florida for the census of
1880, states that the mullet fisheries Of

interests of the South, this gentlemen Is
enthusiastic upon their great value IN
the future.
The lumber interest of the South are
of vast extent, and the millions OF acres
of forest land will be able to meet the
ever increasing demand for many years
to come. Stock raising Is a rapidly
growing industry and one which offers
excellent opportunities for financial sue
cess: in fact, the advantages OF the
South as a stock country are IN many
respects superior to those OF any section
o.. country. This is especially true OF oul
own Piedmont Carolina.
Manufacturers are but in their infancy
The future will show that as centre OF
manufacturing the South is second tc
no country in the world.

For the Farmer and Mechanic.
FOR Congressman-at-Larse.

The Wilmington Star very properly
defines the dangers which lmperll the
Democratic party IN respect TO the
coming election. The Future OF the
marty may hinge on its control OF the
House of REPRESENTATIVES and that con-
troll may hinge on one vote, and that
vote may be the Congressman-at-large
from North Carolina.
The STIR then declare. 1t has no
choice, but it feels assured the choice
must have certain characteristics, or be
beaten. He must be able, popular,
high-toned, free from sectional ldentltl-
cation. free from clique engagements,
free from Railroad taint, and thorough
Caroliuian. We grant that such re-
ouisites are required in the candidate to
insure success. And while we do not
nresume to oduOcate any man, we deem
It a duty. as it is pleasure, to point to

Salisbury Ecan,iacr: Quite an anus
ing episode occurred in the southern
portion Of this county not long since;
An old gentleman who had been elected
an elder in one Of our German Reform
ed churches, apparently fearing that his
good neighbors ana brethren did not
place as high an estimate on his aolllty
and christian virtues as they should,
determined to convince them by lead
ing in prayer A suitable opportunity
having offered, he called upon the con
gregation to join with him IN prayer,
saying, I'VE will repeat the Lord 3
Pray err He began, but did not get
far until he discovered that he was
wrong and exclaimed, 'oh, pshaw
On he went again, with the same result,
ooh, pshawl' By this time general
litter was heard all over the house;
With great effort he recovered himself
and proceeded only to find himself COM
pletely mudded, which fact he made
known by speaking out louder, oh,
pshaw We will stop now and try It
over again, sometime. Laughter couio
no longer be restrained.

Wednesday Nov 22nd. the great Irish
actors, Mr.. and Mrs Dan. Sullivan with
their own special company Of artists to
support them, will be at Bedford hall.
The Pueblo Chieftain Of Oct. 27, has this
to say Of them:
The opera house was crowded last night
to witness the entertainment by Dan Nor
ris Sullivan's Mirror OF Ireland company
and to look upon the beauties ofthis won
derful panorama called the Mirror OF
Ireland" There are few better entertain
ments travelling through the country thar
this one, and from the rise to the fall OF
the curtain last night, the audience was
alternately interested and amused. The
dancing and singing was splendid, and it
is seldom that an audience is better
pleased or has better cause to be, than the
one assembled at the opera house last
night. The panorama of the beautiful
scenery of Ireland is true to nature-not
scene is presented but is perfect, and the
beautiful allegorical picture at the close is
perfect gem, and should be seen byevery
lover of Ireland and her cause.
