Manufactures and Railroads for the
South.

Jackson Dispatch.
There is at the present time nothing
that will tend to develop and advance
the interests of the South and increase
her material wealth like the building
of manufactures and railroads. The
one is the necessary outgrowth of the
other. The North and East have
grown wealthy with their manufacture
ing interests, at the expense of the
South. Year after year our merchants
leave for the eastern cities to expend
the money they have taken in trade
from our people for goods manufactur-
ed there. Our machinists, our jewell
ers, our furniture men, our buggy,
carriage and wagon manufacturers
have also gone East and North for
their wares. There is no necessity for
this. We have here in our own south
land the raw material in the mines, in
the forests, or can produce it from the
soil, and why not then have our OWL
manufactures here and Keep our mon
ey :at home, Every manufacturing
enterprise in a community is a blessing
1t requires laborers to run it, they
must eat, and the farmer has de-
msnd for his products, and the increase
in value between the raw material anC
the manufactured article, instead O
leaving the community, is kept al

rob and murder Baxter from the time
he learned that Baxter had $4,000.
He followed him quietly down the
glen, stole upon him unawares, and
struck him a blow with stick of wood
which killed him instantly. To secure
the money and bury the body under
some loose earth and stone, was the
work Of very few moments, and be-
fore Mrs. Baxter had started down the
glen Young was miles away. He
fastened to New Orleans, took passage
to Australia, changed his name and
speculated with his ill-gotten gains.
He prospered amazingly, and unlike
the traditional murderer, died unde-
tected and wealthy. He directed that
Mrs. Baxter be found, if living, and
paid $4,000 with interest from the date
of the murder, and he begged her to
forgive him. That was all the letter
contained. But subsequent investiga-
ton proved it to be true. Baxter's
bones were found at the foot of the
glen and decently buried, and the
Australian party turned out to be
Isaac Young, the murderer. The
story is as strange as il is true.

home.
Everywhere in the South that a cot.
ton mill is built there grows up about
it contented laborers, whose steady
employment gives them competent
living. Every city or section, too,
that has extensively gone into manu-.
featuring at the South is building up
rapidly. Chattanooga in our State,
Birmingham, in Alabama, and Atlanta
in Georgia are examples of what they
will do to develop cities.
Close upon the manufactures fol-
lows railroad building, for they are
needed to carry the fuel for the manu>
factories, and in the case of iron man.
ufactories they are indispensable to the
moving of the raw material before it
is ever manufactured into the various
articles of common use.
We are glad to see a spirit TO de-
velop manufactures in entirely new
fields and new industries springing up
at the South. Several most important
railroad lines are already projected,
connecting our Southern systems with
those of the North, and which when
built, will give us advantages in time,
in prices of freight and travel. Do
not let us do anything that will keep
back the prosperity that the building
of manufactures and railroads will
bring to our section of the Union.

value of your remedy prompting me to say,
in reply to your request, what l know Of
your Chill Cure. The private assurance of
its efficacy had, and the good results of its
effects had observed ON Il. w. Meredith,
who, for more than fifteen years, has been
foreman of my Office, induced me to test it
in my family. The results have been entire.
ly satisfactory. The first case was of two
years. standing, in which l believe every
known remedy had been tried with tempo
rary relief-the chills returning periodically
and seemingly with increased severity.
Your Cure broke them at once, and there
has been no recurrence of them for more
than six months. The other case was of
milder form and yielded more readily to 9TH
er remedies; but the chills would return at
intervals until your medicine was used, since
which time, now several months, they have
entirely disappeared. From the opportuni-
ty have had to Judge, do not hesitate to
express my belief that your Chill Cure is q
valuable specific, and performs all you prom.
Use for it. Very respectfully,

WHEELING, w. VA, Sept. 10
The details have just reached here
of a shocking murder in Coal Valley,
Fayette county, about eight miles
from Sewell, on Saturday night last.
Smith Olden struck and instantly
killed Alex. Tincher with an axe.
-Four or five men, the above being of
the number, were going to chop
wood. Olden began playing with a
boy who was in company with them,
and finally the boy picked up stone,
struck Olden with it and ran away.
Olden caught up two large stones
and threw them at the boy as he
ran. Tincher demonstrated with
Olden about throwing such stones at
a boy, and said either of them
would have killed him if they had
hit him. Olden flew into a rage and
said he would "kill the boy or kill
anybody who would take up for him.
After some harsh words had passed
between them over the matter, they
arrived at fence. Tincher threw
his axe over the fence and told Olden
to do the same with his, and they
would fight it out fair, instead of
doing so, Olden, it is alleged, struck
Tincher with the blade of his axe,
cleaving his breast open from the
point of the right shoulder down
through both lungs and through his
NJ
Lord" and fell on his face dead.
Olden fed for the woods, but was
captured and committed to Jail.
