sOUTHRRNERs IN NEW YORK


And Northern Capital in the South.
From the Neto York Star Jan. 90.
Col. E. Motz of South Carolina, who is a
frequent visitor to New York, said yester-
day at the Hoffman House that he quite
agreed with the sentiments contained in the
editorial of yesterdays Star, entitled
Southern Sojourners in New York"
81 am glad" said the colonel, that one
New York newspaper, at least. appreciates
the growing interests of tine 50 nth. Upon
each visit here find more and more people
representing southern interests. We hear
plenty about western people who came
here to seek aid for their many different
schemes. but very little about southern
men. This is not to be wondered at,
since it is only recently that New
York capitalists have been investing
in southern enterprises. The amount of
money that has gone south from New York
during the last two months is surprising.
| am an old western man myself, but be-
lieve that there are better opportunities il
the south to-day than in any other section.
A large amount Of capital has gone there
recently from the Pacific coast. Such
shrewd investors as Senator George
Hearst of California and Senator Jones
of Nevada are largely interested in
southern enterprises and are doing
much to develop tn mineral resources of
my section. During my visit here | met a
large number of western men, who are here
trying to induce New York capitalists to
their section, and from what | can learn
from them it is less difficult at present TO
get capital for southern enterprises than for
western. Every month the relations be-
tween the south and New York become
closer, and the number of southern visitors
viii naturally increase"

The First "BIue Bloods."

After the black Moors were driven out Of
Spain, or such of them as were too high spir-
tied to become Christians on compulson, the
aristocracy of Spain was held to consist of
those who traced their lineage back to the
time before the Moorish conquest. These
people were whittier than those who had been
mixed with Moorish blood; the veins upon
their white hands were blue, while the blood
of the masses, contaminated by the Moorish
infusion, showed black upon their hands and
faces, So the white Spaniards of old race
came to declare that their blood was ''blue,"
while that of the common people was black.
The phrase passed to France, where it had no
such significance, and was, in fact, quite an
arbitrary term, and so to England and Amer

Immediately, bark peeled off, steamed, treated
with chemicals in kettle under pressure, and
exposed to several more operations, which
the inventor does not mention, as he wants
