POLITICS WILL HURT BUSINESS.
The Uunfortunate Effect at the South
of Republican Success in the
Irnjnr,

JACKSONVILLE, November ESPECIAL: The
Times Union says, editorially:
"The time has gone by when the supremacy
of one or another OF the great political parties
can seriously affect the general welfare of the
people of this country, The Republican party,
both It's records and in the policy which Its
leaders are likely to pursure, is, however,
inimical to the South. Its present victory
will rekindle the hopes Of the negro for politi-
cal supremacy, and this will only send to
solidily the Democracy of this section against
q rule Of Republican ignorance. Under O
Democratic Administration the race lines
were disappearing. Now they will be sharply
drawn again.
Legislation will be likely In Republican
hands to 80 shape itself as to retard Southern
development, for the South is fast becoming
the industrial rival OF the North and East.
That our material developement will proceed
despite this policy goes without saying, but
the Harrison Administration cannot fall 10
be bitterly partisan one, and thus tend to
divert attention from business to politics-a
condition greatly to be deplored.

While we award to Mr.. Daniel
Hand due praise for his magnificent

the discrimination which he in his

serve help to be educated as much as
the negroes do. But Mr.. Hand has
the right to do as he pleases with his

A Wrong to the Public.

to the neglect or delay in rebuilding lendy's
Bridge 1t is one of the most important
bridges to this town and market and yet q
little bridge that might be easily rebuilt Ia
two weeks, has now been down for tWG
months or more. The loss to this town, and
the Inconvenience to the travelling pubic, mas
been great, and as far aS the people are able
to learn, the delay has been incxcus;tblc ON
the part of somebody. We do not pretend to
say TO whom the blame is due for the serious
loss and inconvenience which has resulted
from this delay, but an impatient public are
beginning to think the delay an intolcrnblc
injury for which the County Commissioners
should be held accountable. Two men were
in town Monday who wanted to bring their
cotton TO Abbevillc, but could not do So
without travelling many miles out OF the
way.
