The gubernatorial contest is dragging its
slow length along. Gen. Golf, the RePub-
licau candidate, had upon the face of the
returns majority of 40, but Judge Flem-
ing has thus far made net gain of IS,
leaving him only 81 behind his opponent.
The Democrats claim that heavy frauds
were committed in some of the southwestern
counties, and that the final result will be to
seat Judge Fleming by some > 1000 majority.
In the meantime Governor Wilson contin-
ues to discharge the duties Of chief execu-
tive of the State.

A thoughtful article in a recent issue Of
the Philadelphia Times warns those South
ern communities who are offering cash in
ducemeuts 70 a certain class ofm;ll and fac
tory owners at the North for the removal OF
their plants Dixiewards. None Of these
plants, the Times declares, whose owners are
open to such inducements, are worth NOV

is imperfect and out Of date and they are
run without profit for this very reason
Buying them ever so eheaPly will prove
costly to Southern purchasers. No greater
obstacle to the advancement Of Southern in-

these plants that have proved useless IN the
