The South's Foreign Trade

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record
of the 28th says:
"The development of the South's for
eign trade, upon which the MGnqlfactur
ers' Record has so frequently comment
ed and which was emphasized last week
in the announcement of the inaugura-
ton of four steamship lines from New
port News to Europe, receives another
illustration this week in the establish
ment of five steamer lines from Norfolk
to London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Havre
and Antwerp. The magnitude which
this business has already attained is
shown in the fact that the government
report of the value of foreign exports
from the United States for October put
the total from all Southern ports at $44,-
100000, against $5S, 1000 from the rest
of the country, the shipments from the
South being over AZ per cent. OF the total
for the month. The tendency of West
ern trade to seek foreign outlets through
Southern ports is being daily impressed
upon the country, and while Newport
News and Norfolk, with their regular
steamship lines, are making heavy ship
ments of grain, flour, provisions, lumber,
ETC., the more southerly Atlantic ports
are also advancing rapidly and New Or
leans and Galveston are handling a big
grain and general business, the ship
ments of wheat from the former city for
/ the four months ended October 81 hav-
ing been $3.50, 900 bushels against 49,, 900
bushels for the corresponding time last
| year. This growth of the South's for
| eign trade is destined to have a wide
reaching influence upon the prosperity
| and progress of this section. Added to
the steady industrial advancement
which is going on, it means that the
manufacturing interests are to be sup
plemented by great commercial cities
with their immense traffic. The indus>
trial growth goes on steadily, and among
the enterprises reported in this weeks
issue of the Manufacturers Record are
the opening of the great million>dollar
canal at Columbia, s. c., on which work
has been in progress for SO many years,
and the decision of the New England
capitalists, who have secured control of
it, to commence at once on building a
$500. 900 cotton MILL to be followed by
others; electric light works, Ellicott
City, Md; the sale of coal land in West
Virginia to Chicago capitalists for $685.

from Huntington, W. Va, to Lexington,
Ky, and that he is nownegotiating with
the E. L. V. & g. r. R. for it's lease on the
Louisville Southern, which will enable
the G. & 0. to reach Louisville over its
own tracks. This is very important
move for Central Kentucky, as well as
for Louisville. The mastery hand of
President Ingalls, is seen all along the
line of the G. g. O. r. R. from Cincin.

The rapid growth of industrial enter
prises, which through his fostering care
are sprlnglng up all along the line, and
converting country, rich in latent
wealth, from one of the poorest to one
OF the richest sections of the country
marks him as one of the most progress
sive men Of the age. The only first
class trains ever run through Kentucky
to the East were inangurated by him,
and to-day there are few trains in the
country which excel the F. F. v. which
runs daily from Cincinnati to New York
without change. To have a road ex-
tending from the metropolis of the State
on the west, through the agricultural
and live stock regions of the Bluegrass,

citizen, especially when it is managed
by one OF the most successful railroad

Rain Prayers.

at the regular meeting of the Meth
odist ministers, which took place at the
Broad Street Church as usual yesterday
morning, there were quite q number Of
preachers present, including all the Rich.
mond and Manchester diyines except DR..
Tudor, DR.. Woodward, and Dr.. Ray, and
also several local preachers.
After ths various reports Of the previ-
GUS weeks work and other routine pro-
ceedings, the late publication over the aig.
nature of Prof. Noah <. Davis, criticising
the efficacy of prayer for rain, was infor-
mally discussed.
The argument vas taken up by mum
ber of the preachers present, including
the Revs. Paul Whitehead, A. g. Brown,
P. A. Peterson, J. Wiley Bledsoe, E.
M. Peterson w. H. Atwell and others.
and was discussed with a great deal OF
interest. The general sentiment was
that the position of Dr.. Davis is incon-
sistent and at war With the whole tenor
of the sacred Scriptures, which plainly
teach that all temporal blessings are
proper subjects for prayer.
The meeting was decidedly of the
opinion that prayer for rain does moi
necessarily involve say interference with
the fixed laws of nature, but even i it
did God will interfere to relieve the dis
tress of his people.-Richm0nd Times.

We Must Stand Together.

The Hon. Henry Watterson published
q few days ago in his paper. tho Louisville
Courier Journal, an editorial, the impor-
tance of which, from his point of view,
was indicated by the article being double
headed. It was meant to be word of
warning, and a rallying cry, as we'll, for
tie Democratic party, Of which Mr.. Wat
tcrson is one of the most earnest workers
as we'll as most shining lights. Like
most things from the same pen it has at
tracted considerable attention., and the
best testimony to its merits is that it has
provoked the hostile criticism OF the enc
mics of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Watterson uses as his text the ut
terances of certain croakers, who, just
after the recent Congressional election,
predicted that the victory was too great
to last, and that it would not be long be-
fore the Democrats would do some silly
thing to throw all the fat in the fire. He
proceeds to say that there are indications
that this prophecy is being fulfilled, and
he mentioned the disagreements about
the silver question, and the Importance
attached to the rival candacies Of Cleve-
land and Hill, as the two foolishest
things Imaginable and calculated to do
the party irrevocapie harm. He points
out that these are matters Of minor I'M
portance. and that the party should be-
ware Of allowing them to attain too great
prominence. His warning OH this point
is so forceful that we quote it in full:
ssThe people of the West and South are
sorely distressed and perpleXed. Twen-
ty-fiye years of class distinction in tho
government have done their perfect work.
Excessive and unjust taxation is the orig
inal, the fruitful source of all our Ills.
We have expended ten years getting to-
pether on this paramount issue. At last
we are together. We stand upon high,
solid ground. Victory, if not within our
grasp, is yet within our sight. Is it pos
sible that any sane Democrat anywhere
can believe 1t good or wise to abandon
this position of advantage, reached after
80 much travail and outlay, and to ad-
vance through morass of uncertainty
upon the rifle pits and masked batteries
of an enemy who laughs in his sleeve as
he waits to welcome us with bloody hands
to hospitable graves"
The sum and substance of the Courier
Journals argument is that the Democratic
party should stand together on the we'll
known doctrines of the party, and leav-
ing the questions of silver policy and a
candidate to be settled at the right time
by the party convention, without driving
off any faction of the party when they
are settled. Nothing new or original IN
this, but that Mr.. Watterson has said it at
the right time and in an effective way, is
amply proved by the reception which
his article has met with from friend and
foe.

SOUTH CAROLINA HEADS TIE LIST.

South Cardinals cotton mills con-
sumo more bales per annum than any
State in the South! Georgia persistently
claimed this high distinction until official
figures forced her to give honor to whom
honor was due! The honor was rightful-
ly hers until last year, when the Palmetto
State outstripped the Empire (?) State,
and placed herself at the head of the list
of cotton manufacturing States in the
South!
The figures that prove this fact were
prepared by three different experts in
different parts Of the country, no two
giving exactly the same figures. They
are as follows: Secretary Hester. of the
New Orleans Exchange, gives South
Carolina 164, ,957 bales, and Georgia 153, ,s1s
bales-111, ,99 in favor of South Carolina;
the Financial Chr9nicle gives South Caroli-
ma 164, ,S14 bales, and Georgia 164 ,9S1 bales
-167 in favor of Georgia Mr.. Shopper
son, of New York, gives South Carolina
17o,5S7 bales and Georgia 154,s75 bales
1862 in favor Of South Carolina.
By striking m average from these fig
ures we will perhaps come very near the
truth. The average gives South Carolina
166,76 bales and Georgia Isl, ,S91 bales
s,s72 more bales to South Cardinals credit
than to Georgia's.
Secretary Hester represents Georgia as
having G1 mills, with only SIS in opera
ration, running a67, ,o39 spindles, of which
only 5242 are new. To South Carolina he
gives 81 mills, with only 40 in operation,
running 446, ,525 spindles, of which S6,323
are new. The Chronicle thinks South
Carolina's success is due to the greater
number of new spindles in her mills.
How would it do to accountf for the differ
ence by saying South Carolins has more
competent and energetic managers than
her sister beyond the Savannah?
In view of the fact that South Carolina
stands second to none, would it not be
more in accordance with the eternal fit
ness of things for "King Cotton" to hold
his Carnival in the Commonwealth of
South Carolina than in Augusta, Ga, as
per proclamation in Sundays Chronicle? I?
His subjects over here are enthusiastical-
ly, loyal.
By the way, by process of reductiO ad
abs,rdam, couldn't it be demonstrated
that Georgia's title to the honor 6f being
called the "Empire State of the South"
has beer forfeited? South Carolina has
fairly won that distinction.

Split in the Alliance.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 16.-A call was
published here to-day by the leading g
third party convention in Alexandria on
Oct. 2 to place a full State ticket in the
field. The Knights of Labor and Indus
trial Union are asked to send delegates to

that it would 90 to the length of placing

Programme OF the Alliance.

WASHINGTON, Septem ber 16.-Fhe Off
cials on duty at the Headquarters of the
Farmers Alliance, in this city, are busily
engaged in arranging the programme Of
leeisfation which they hope to see enacted
bv the SD Congress. The Alliance claims
to have fifty-fve men in the next House
who will vote with it upon all measures:
II also claims four Senators: Pefec CT
Kansas, Kyle of South Dakota, Irby Of
South Carolina, and Vance Of North
Carolina.
The Alliance claims Vance because he
was elected after the Legislature of his
State had passed resolution that no man
could be chosen Senator until hs had
agreed to a programme which was prac-
ticaliy that Of the Alliance. Mr.. Vance
having agTsed to those resolutions, the
Alliance now claims him as its own.
At the next session tho sub.treasury
bill as was introduced in THO last Congress
will not, it is understood, make its ap.
pesrance. That, they say at Alliance
headquarters, has been repudiated by
both houses Of Congress, and will for that
reason not be yesurrected. A bill con-
structed. however, upon similar lines and
embodying the same principles will be
introduced In both houses and pushed to
vote. Exactly What changes will be
made in the original sqh-treasury bill
has not yet been determined.
The Stanford land loan bill will not be
touched by the Alliance. The leaders Of
the latter are very much put out because
the people think the Stanford bill finds
favor with them. The Alliance people
who think that bill is designed to help
only those who already have fair share
of this worlds goods, and that the only
people who are booming it are those who
are engaged in booming Senator Stanford
for the Presidency, As TO the Alliance,
il declares it will haye nothing to do with
Senator Stanford or his bill,
The bill on the same subject and intro
duced under Alliance auspices will pro-
vide for the relief Of the agricultural pop
ulation of the United States, and for the
promotion and encouragement of agricul-
ture. It's main features will provide that
any citizen who owna and resides 4pop
any tract of Land containing not ss.tbaR
ten nor more than 320 acres, and who has
at least one-half Of that tract in actual
cultivation, shall be entitled to apply for
and receive from the treasury OF the Uni.
ted States loan not to exceed ope-half
the assessed valuo Of the land and the
improvements on it. The loans are to be
for not less than five nor more than ten
years, and the borrower is to pay interest
at 23 per cent.
Another measure which the Alliance
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1891-09-24

will push is FREQ coinage bill. These
threo measures arc tho cnes which
it will take the most interest in,
but other bills will como from it's hands.
It will have introduced bill providing
for Government control of railroads and
telegraph systems: In regard to the rail-
is misunderstood, it is said, at its head
quarters. It is not, as is generally sup
posed, in favor Of Government ownership
of railroads and the telegraph. Itsimply
wants the Government to control them.
The Alliance will not bring forward
any tariff bill. It will content itself with
demanding the equalization of the tariff
so that it will bear upon all alike. 1t will,
however, put forward bills to abolish the
national banking system.-Neg York

- For some time an interesting cor
respondenee has beon going on in the
London Times on the question of the
utility of hanging as deterrent of mur.
der. The letter that has attracted most
attention is from a country doctor, who
was for many years physician at jail
where noted criminals we're confined.
The conclusion of this writer is that q
Aogging is the best deterrent of crime
known. He says that an old offender
agreed with him apa raia while talking
of it: "You ought to fog just es g
man is leaving prison. If be would show
his friends his raw back 1t would be to
all sermon"
It will not, perhaps, be remembered, ,
says the Paper Maker London), that
in the grest; exhibition of 1851 speci-
men of iron paper Rap exhibited. I'M,
mediately lively competition ensued
among ironmasters as to the thinness to
which cold iron could be rolled.
One ironmaker rolled sheets the average
thickness of which was the eighteenth
hundredth ps2t of en luch. IN other
words, 1900 sheets of thiB iron, piled
one upon the other, would only measure
one inch in thickness. The wonderful
Gneness OF this work may be more readi.
~ understood when it is remembered
that ], 200 sheets Of the thinnest tissue
paper measures fraction aYel an inch.
These wonderful iron sheets are perfect
ly smooth and easy to write upon, not
withstanding the fact that they were po.
rous when held up in a'strong light,
y The September number of the To-
comotiue Engineer's Monthly journal con-
tains the following: "Oficers of many Of
our most important systems of late have
issued very stringent rules with regard to
the usc of intoxicating liquors. EN-
ployes who uss intoxicants to excess,
even when off duty, must impair their
ability to properly discharge their duty,
aud when Oh service the company may,
with absolute propriety, decline to con-
tinue to employ them. The rule against
the employees of railroad companies drink
ing intoxicating liquors at all when on
duty is one the justice of which cannot
be reasonably que8tlon6u, ~ tutle ~
scarcely another class of men whose brain
should be 30 clear or nerves 80 steady as
the class whose duty makes them &C
countable for the safe operation Of q great
steam transportation system. All the
railroad men should be free from the
effects of the drinking habit. The rail-
road employo must have at all times,
when on duty, absolute control of his
thought and hand both nust be steady,
alert, sure, It is not only good for the
travelling public it is equally good for
employees whose vocation in many
branches of the service exposes them
to the danger of serious or fatal injury.
It is worthy of notice chat the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers made the
sobriety of its members the very corner
stone of its principles, and showed ite
wisdom by 30 doing"
