BOOMING SOUTH.
PROMISE OF PROSPERITY.

A long article upon the South,
published in the Chicago Journal of
Commerce, ends with the following
paragraphs:
I'm no part of the world can land
be bought SO low, in no part of the
world is there greater promise of
prosperity, and nowhere can colon
les OF ten families, or of fifty, or of a
hundred find such promise as any
where in these old States, and the
sooner the land is taken the greater
the promise and the profit. In all
the business of the blacksmith, the
carriage maker, or in growing fruits,
vegetables, sheep, stock, poultry,
garden sass, grains, in fact there is
climate early and late for every
thing the world wants.
'In no other part of the world is
there the same opportunity to invest
capital, in no other the assurance
doubly sure of safety, and that in a
very few years the investment must
be doubled again, as in this new
empire to the Southwark"
1t is wonderful what degree of
interest in the South has been ava
kened in the North the past few
years, and the interest in sending
thousands into the South to investi-
gate and invest. The South is as a
new world to the people of the north
and they are amazed at the diversi-
ty of its resources.

WHO PAYS FOR THE BAGGING AND
TIES2

1t is very strange how expert
enced and generally we'll informed
people deceive themselves as to
this question of cotton bagging and
cotton ties. The planter alone pays
for them, and they are as much
part of the cost of his crop and his
labors or his fertilizers.
Much of the confusion is due to
different methods in Liverpool, and
New York of fixing the price of
bale of cotton. The price of cotton
sold is determined in Liverpool, and
in that market six per cent of the
weight of the bale is taken off on
account of the bagging and ties,
which the purchaser does not intend
to buy. A 500 pound bale for in
stance, is sold in Liverpool as 40
pound bale, thirty pounds being
deducted Tor tare.
A different system prevails in
New York and in other markets of
this country, the tare being taken
off the price per pound, instead of
the weight of the bale, SO that while
a 500-pound bale is sold in this
country for 500 pounds, the price is
so fixed in relation to the Liverpool
market that only 40 pounds are
actually paid lor.
If the planter, being charged with
only 30 pounds tare, should put on
forty pounds of bagging and ties, he
would make on the extra ten
pounds the difference between the
cost Of bagging and ties and the sell
ing price of cotton; but the bale
would probably be thrown out as
understandable, and if the prac-
tice became general the Liverpool
cotton men would speedily increase
the tare.
While the planter, in no case
gets anything for his bagging anC
ties, who will lose something in ad
dition to the price of his cotton, /
the bagging and ties do not weigl
six per cent. OF the bale. The thir
ty pounds if the 5O0-pound bal
have already been charged agains
him, no matter whether the weigh
of the bagging and ties be thirty o
twenty pounds. Columbus Enquir

THE SOgTH'S PROGRESS.

1t is not only in mining, manu-
featuring and industrial manners
generally that the "new south has
taken such a leap in the direction
ofprosperity. Underlying all these
things rs popular education, for
without that no country, or section
of country, can accomplish anything
great. The south was, uHtil lately,
far below the national average in
this particular, but it has now adj
vanced on that line with strides
equal to those in the direction of
material progress. The commits
siouer of education, i'm his. report to
the secretary of the interior, makes
the point clear. He gives the fig
ures for his opinion that the south
has not merely in the last few years
kept pace with the north and west
in educational matters-tha is to
say, in practical interest in the pub
lie schools, as shown by the atten-
dance of pupils-but has really
made greater progress than other
parts of the country 1t has been a
most remarkable and most crafty
ing growth. Philadelphia TeIe-

THE TRIUMPH OF Law.

In the triumph of law, the social
fabric is strengthened, and sill good peo-
pie must rejoice when the law is upheld
against any attemptlst its violation. The
law is generally able to assert itself and
will prevail If allowed opportunity by
those most Interested in It's supremacy.
The sentence of W. Il. Roe to death at
Anderson, as reported in yesterdays GA
zETTE, is q case In point. In this
case mob violence at Huntsville was
threatened and the venue was changed,
despite the bitter protests and opposition
Of the people. The crime OF Roe was an
atrocious deed; he murdered his wife and
then tried to fasten the crime on innocent
parties. He richly deserved death, and
when mistrial resulted in Madison
s desperate attempt WAS made to mob the
prisoner by an indignant people. The
attempt was frustrated by brave and
faithful officer, Sheriff F. M. Black, and
when Judge Norman G. Kittrell granted s
change of venue the popular IN
dignatien found lawless vent In
burning the Judge in efigy. Judge
Kittrell was not deferred from his
sworn duty by the outrage, but pursued
the even tenor of his way, and has lived
to see the vindic,tlon Of the law he is
sworn 10 uphold as against the murderer
rdor
ers.
II people will sid the law instead o.
seeking to violate 1t and will lend aid ano
encouragement to law officers that the
law msy take its course, the law will tri
umph always, and no stronger nlussrs.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
A Statement of tho Postal Telegraph as 1t
Exists In Great Britain.

A Statement of the Postal Telegraph az 1t
Exists In Great Britain.
The first complete financial yea during
which the reduced rates for inland tele-
grams were in operation, expired on the
S1st of March, 1887, and it is interesting
to note the effect upon the number Of
messages, and upon the revenue.
Separating the ordinary inland messages
sent in that period from railway, press,
official, and foreign kilograms, which are
not affected by the reduced
rate, and of which there were
over 100000, it appears that
the number of messages dispatched
was 40, 137,175 in 1867, compared with
q total of 80, 087, 1863 In 1866, and that
the revenue produced was FL, 1854, 879, as
compared with 81, 277, 60S in the previ-
Gus year, showing growth Of over 10,
600, 900, or SO per cent. In the number OF
messages, and over $4,000, or per
cent. in the revenue.
AS the year 1885 contained six months
at the shilling rate, (the new rate being
half that amount) more accurate COM
parison may be afforded by taking the
last six months of 1885 6 and the CORE
spending six months of 1886 7, the result
of which shows an increase of IA per
cent. in number of messages, and Is per
cent. in amount.
The London local messages alone show
an Increase of 30 per cent, the totsl num-
Der being about $500, o0o.-[ Report Of
Postmaster General.
The capital sum raised by the British
government for the purchase of the tele-
graphs was S52, S79 SIS, exclusive of in
terest amounting to 81, 1876, 1856 per annum
which amount is not borne on the post
office votes.
The British telegraph act, 1885, pro-
vides that, "The charges for the trans
mission of written kilograms throughout
the United Kingdom shall uniformly, and
without regard to distance, be st rate

KING COTTON.

Cotton may not be enthroned king Of

merce that so trust" has been formed to
