the country derive a favorable bal
ance to their profit and loss ac
count almost directly from the soil.
A movement has now set in, how
ever, that is contributing to this
balance ont of manufactured pro
ducts; and the contribution is de
Quoted from the industrial gains OF
the north. AS this augments, The
past ratio of increase of production
in the north must diminish. The
production of iron in the south is
now having that effect. But, at the
same time, capital is accommodating
in the north and is seeking invest
ment. If it can get better returns
in lower latitudes, much of it will
go there; and this we fad to be the
case. Keep up this transfer of capi.
tai to one part Of the country, and
from it will follow all those manu-
featured articles, for making which
that part of the country is favora-
bly, situated. The competition that
northern manufacturers have with
each other in southern markets is
now being further increased by the
competition that they are beginning
to meet from southern manufac-
turers themselves.
But what if the debatable ground
shall be transferred from the south
to the north? There is no bug
bear in this, for already this move
ment is taking place. A year ago
the cotton manufacturers of New
England made efforts to get special
freight rates on the ground that
they could not endure the competi-
ton of southern cotton manufactur-
ers. The owners of the Bessemer
steel patent have carefully guarded
the selling of rights of manufacture
under it, so that no southern iron
mill can carry it on. Manufactur-
ers of blotting paperin Virginia are
contestiEg the markets of the north
with northern manufacturers them
selves. The reins of competition
are drawing closer and closer upon
manufacturers in the north from
the arising of new competitors in an
area of country that does not in
crease much, and in markets that
do not enlarge in the same proper
tion that the competition does. 1t is
like packing men in a room, and,
when all comfortable standing room
is taken, endeavoring to introduce
ten or hundred more; few may
stand with painful squeezing, and |
the others will rest on the heads
of those standing. In short time
this situation will become disas-
trous to some of them; but if three
or four doors could be opened the
pressure would be quickly relieved.
The manufacturing industries of
the United States are beginning to
feel this painful crowding, and as
the star of the south rises it will
increase. Foreign trade will bring
some relief to this. AS valuable as
a home market is, foreign markets,
besides always being profitable,
take a great deal of the feverish-
ness out of home markets. They
will not keep home markets al
ways in a bouyant condition, it is
true, for all her foreign trade has
industrial depressions; but expe-
rience has shown that these de-
pressions are less disastrous in pro-
portion as the markets are exten-
sive.-Holyoke { Mass. Ind. Ga.

Rained out of a cyelcne.

A man who saw the February
cyclone, as it bounded over the
Blue Ridge in Fannin county, Ca,
describes 1t as being terrific bat
tie of the most awful looking clouds
he ever saw, which overspread near
ly the entire heavens. The cyclone
was in tempestuous, incessant
boil, the clouds lashing each other
with fury and dashing about as if
jerked by some resistless force.
While this was going on it began
to RAIN pine brush, boards, planks,
bedding and every conceivable ar
ticle of household furniture, among
which was a large feather bed.
Wearing apparel of all. kinds was
mixed up in this singular rainfall.

young English Farmers.

In accordance with authority Civ
en- him by responsible parties,
Col. A. j. McWhirter, commission
er of agriculture, has addressed the
following letter to Tennessee far
mers:
1 wish to place a few young
Englishmen out on farms to learn
farming, for which 1 will pay the
farmer 500 per annum for his at
tention as teacher in the practical
methods of farming, the party
working for his board and washing.
He is to be furnished, however,
with a room and is to be treated as
one of the family. These young
gentlemen are of the best families
of England, are well educated, and
will be a credit to any family or
neighborhood. 1 will also furnish
these young men with a monthly
allowance of pocket money. l
wish to locate them with the best
practical farmers in Middle Tennes-
see. Such gentlemen applying for
the same will be furnished with q
blank application.

There has never been time since
the first railroad commenced run
ming south that there has so much
improved and expensive farm ma
chinery been received at Nashville
as the past two months. Trainload
after trainload is arriving every
week and still it comes with no di-
minution. All the money for this
goes north to northern manufac-
turers; we ought to save all this
for our home mechanics and home
laborers, and every particle of the
abundance of farm machinery the
south uses ought to be made in
Nashville and other portions of
the south. We have abundance of
all needed material, full supply of
power, capital all that is needed
and labor galore, why don't we
utilize all this and keep at home the
money we send away for farm ma
chInery.-Artisan.

The northern manufacturers abol-
ished slavery and made the south
go to work, and the young,
vigorous, working, growing,
thriving south, true to its Anglo
Saxon, Scotch-Irish instincts and
blood, came up smiling to the task
and now the southern cotton manu-
factories bid fair to abolish the
northern business in that line.
Such is the law of compensation,
call things work together
for good to those who trust in God"
and keep their powder dry; but we
need feel no fear for New England or
the north, she will find plenty of in
dustries and manufacturing to use
her means and her labor, only it
will be divided; the cotton and the
iron will be made south, and other
and as profitable industries in the
north.-Artisan.

1t may be very unpretty thing
to say, but it is nevertheless true,
that well organized and properly
controlled vigilance committee is
fast becoming a necessity. Trial
by jury for crime is a humbug, a
mere expenditure of money with
out any possible profit. A friend of
ours told us ten years ago that he
had defended seventy-four persons
for murder, and that the greatest
punishment any of them received
was one year in the penitentiary:
and he has probably run the list up
to one hundred by this time, nine
ty-nine of whom ought to have
been hung. He is,an elegant, affa-
bic and cultured gentleman, but the
country would have been much bet
ter off if he had died young. This
sickly, rosewater sentimentality
concerning the taking of human
life, as applied to murderers, is the
worst kind of bosh. The courts
won't punish men for murder and
emotional insanity, and a judicious
of lynching is neces-
sity for the protection of the de-
cent and orderly citizen. Look at |
the farce Of the James trials! Poor,
prosecuted Col. James, put to all |
the bother and expense of having to |
defend himself in courts, and pay
eminent criminal lawyers to go |
through the form of trial, and |
thus wasting his valuable time, and
interfering with his legitimate oc-
oupation of robbing and murder.
A well executed application of
nempen cord ten years ago would
nave saved many lives; but, no, he
must be petted and sympathized
with, and congratulated, and al
owed time for repentance. When
'he law won't hang murderers, the
good of society and safety of de-
cent citizens requires that some
hing else should do so. Some good
people will be shocked at this, but
t is true.-Nashville Artisan.

Out in the Indian Territory the
Choctaws continue to administer
justice in their own way. When an
Indian commits a theft he is given
thirty nine lashes on the bare back,
provided it is his first offense. If
it is his second offense he receives
ninety-nine lashes, and should it
be his third offense they stand him
up and shoot him like dog. The
fellow who is so unlucky as to be
condemned to be shot tor stealing
is permitted to select his execution
er, and he generally chooses his
nearest and best friend. The vic
tim is stripped to his waist and a
black spot is made over his heart.
The executioner stands off six or
eight PAGES with navy revolver
and sends bullet crushing into the
thiefs heart. The victim is never
bound or plindfolded. He stands
up bravely, without sign of finch
ing and in fact seems to like it.

The Editor of Frank Lesiie's Sunday
Magazine begs TO call attention to the
exceptionally valuable and interesting
articles in the June Number, to be pub
lished on May 10th. The article on
''Crossing the Nubian Desert" by AL
van :. So thworth, details a personal
experience, very interesting at this
time. The already famous Teaching
of the Twelve Apostles" is given IN a
translation from the Greek, made eX-
pressly for the Magazine, by we'll
known classical scholar. The article
on "The Apochrypha" was written at
the request of several correspondents,
and gives much information on a too
little understood matter. The paper On
the s'Church Choral Union"is from aG-
thoritative statemeQts by the leader of
the movement, and a complete history
of ths work from its beginning to the
present season. a carefully written
historical and descriptive paper on
"Some Representative Churches in
Boston," by the Rev. George L. Rider,
is accompanied by Illustrations of the
new sold South" Church, Trinity
(Episcopal) Church, and the Roman
Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

When it comes to law and order
Chicago claims the prize. Over a
hundred murders were committed
in that city last year, and not one
of the murderers has been hanged.
Yet there is not even a hint at
lyncbing, riot, reform or anything
else of the kind. Chicago is just
too yirtuous to have a respectable

The Easlcy Township Club will be
entitled to sixteen delegates to the con-
vention. The county convention will
elect delegates to the State convention

may deem needful and necessary.
The attention of the Township clubs
was called to the proposition to divide
the county into three divisions. and
that one candidate be nominated from
each division, 1T Primary Election, for
