NORTHERN CAPITAL IN THE SOUTH,

Within two years, more than a
hundred millions of Northern capital
has been invested in the Southern
States, and that is now forming a
very lasting chain, specially adapted
to binding together the hearts of
men by binding in one their SEEM
ingly diversified interests. A new
South-a manufacturing kingdom
will be the result, and what is grown
here will be placed upon the market
as manufactured fabric, and every
profit connected Herewith will be
retained at home, The next five
years will show a greater addition
to the wealth Of the South than has
any previous twenty, and the best
outcome will be a wealth of har-
mony, which inevitably accompanies
a union Of interests.-New Orleans

GOVERNOR BATE.

William B. Bate, who has just
been installed into the highest
position in the State, was born in
Sumner county, Tenn, October 7th,
1926. He received an academic
education. At the age of II he was
employed as steamboat clerk be-
tween Nashville and New Orleans.
He served very honorably in the
Mexican war and is remembered as
the captor of the last flag in the
last conflict in Mexico. He next
edited the Tenth Legion in Sumner
county till l049, when he entered
the Legislature. He next took to
law and practised in Gallatin. As
Attorney-General for Nashville and
district he was very successful. At
the opening of the war he enlisted
as a private in the Second Ten
nessee Confederate Infantry. His
war record is very distinguished.
He was wounded three times and
had six horses killed under him.
His army promotion was rapid.
Since the war he has followed the
law. 1t is unnecessary to State that
Governor Bate has always been a
big figure in the State Democratic
party.

THE NEW SOUTH.

The South is a new field. We
have found that we can manufacture
as well as our neighbors. We have
found that in our cotton, if we only
manufacture it ourselves, there is
immense wealth; that we not only
have the cotton, but we have other
immense resources we have iron
and coal; we have valuable timber;
we have great advantages in water
power indeed, we have found we
have immense resources, and that the
road to wealth is into the workshop,
the factory, the foundry, the iron
and coal beds. This is new dis
covery, and it is making for us a
new South. To-day the new South
has more promise-a better outlook
than any other portion Of the
United States. What we need is
live men in business affairs and wise
men in making our laws-MashciNe

THE SETTLING OF RUGBY.

In entering upon her third year,
Rugby has, perhaps, more promise
of real success than has been previ-
ously presented to those who have
gone upon the land. We now know
the rich capabilities of the soil, and
better what to produce, The seasons
just passed SO unmistakably declared
the value of the soil as fair farm
ing land, that any assertion to the
contrary receives a smile of con-
tempt. From time to time we have
published the experiences of cult
vators, and shown how fruits and
vegetables, with farming produce
generally, have borne highly favor
able comparison with the products
of older and more settled sections,
while competent visitors among us
have borne testimony to tie truth Of
the assertions.
Now all this only wants to be
known to be appreciated by those
men who are looking for locations
suitable to their wants, but they will
not, and they cannot know it, unless
the Board of Aid will be true to
their excellent name, and send out
agents, and lecturers and circulars
demonstrating the worth of their
broad acres. If the people, from
want of knowledge, do not come, it
is the first business duty the Board
owe to themselves, to say nothing Of
their position towards those already
here by past inducements, to look
up the keen New Englander, the in
dustrious Castle Garden immigrant,
the crowded-out British farmer, and
the frozen out Canadian, and by ad-
vantages the Board can give, bring
the people here. They must "gc
out into the highways and hedges
and compel them to come in"

IN BALTIMORE there is a charity
organization which has founded
what is called "provident" wood
yard, by which it is proposed TO test
the sincerity of those men who
ask charity because they cannot
get work. Applicants will be given
cards to the wood yard, each entit-
ling the holder to the privilege of
earning fifty cents by saving and
splitting one quarter of a cord of
wood. The cards will be sent to all
the benevolent societies in the city,
to be distributed among the apple
ants for work or assistance. The
idea seems a good one, and might
be adopted with good results in
other cities than Baltimore. How
would it do to have a "provident"
wood yard in connection with the
tramp lodging-house in the City
Hall?

profound mystery. Policy brought about $1 ,s0O with him from Pennsylvania which is gone. Crouch was in the habit of sscreting money in the house. In his pocket was found 8 draft for $500 anda pocketbook containing S1O5 was found in Whites room. The great est excitement prevails and should the assas- sins be detected within the next few days they will certainly be lynched. Some time ago the brother of the negro servant Bolls was discharged by White. A quarrel ensued during which Bolls' brother attempted to kill White with an iron bar but was disOrmed. The sheriff is now hunting for him. It Is now reported that the victims drank cider before retiring and are believed to have been drugged. quantity remaining in pitcher has been sent to Ann Arbor for analysis.
 It is conceded to night that the chief mo- tive for the crime was revenge, as nothing was taken by the assassin but such money as Policy had about him. It is not certain that Crouch was robbed Of 8 dollar. The pocket book containing $1O5 and check for $500 was found on the windowsill where the trag- edy occurred. The butchery was not the work of professionals, for the house could have been ransacked without bloodshed as Crouch never locked door. The murderer was evidently familiar with the premises. The only man known as an enemy of Crouch was Sam Elders. who three years ago while in the murdered mans employ was accused by him of stealing $1 ,5OO. Crouch and his son-in-law hung him by the neck from a raf- ter in the barn until he was choked into 8 confession as to where he had con- cealed the money. Elder was prosecuted and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, from which he was but recent ly discharged. After his conviction he swore dire revenge on Crouch and perhaps this has been his revenge.
