Dull Time Figures.

Richard H. Edmonde, of Baltimore,
gives in the August number of the Forum
some account Of the present resources and
recent progress of the South. The rec
o'd is one which every Southerner will
:ead with pride and every other Ameri-
can should rejoice in. We can take only
few of the most striking passages in
that record. The South produced 535,
$4,000 bushels of corn in 1891, a gain
of about rs per cent. over the production
in 1891 The gain in cotton production
was about the same, from 5, ,456, 900 bales
in 1881 to nearly 5000, 900 bales last
year. The gain in railroads is even more
remarkable. Ten years ago the South
had $4,000 miles of railroad now it has
about 5000, gain of nearly 90 per
cent and the increase in the number OF
passengers and the amount of freight car
ried has been enormous. Between g.
900, 900 and $4,000, 900 tons of coal were
mined in the South in 1891, only about
5000, 900 in 1881. The value of expor is
from Southern ports has increased from
Sl57, ,535, 40i to $349. 801 900, gain of
36 per cent, which is nearly five times
.he gain made at the other ports of the
United States. the Southern output of
iron is nearly 325 per cent. greater than
in 1881. Thesgain in manu- ufacturing and
banking and a. branches of business has
been grea' Srhe assessed value of
property is NJ. .3,, two billions greater
than i'm 1881

Growing Cotton in Connecticut.

PUTNAM, Conn. David johnson, Q
spruce old colored man of Pomfret street,
who was OH big Southern plantation
'befo' de wah," is teaching his neigh
bors that cotton may be grown in Con-
necticut as successfully as "way down
South in Dixie" David is gardener for
Benjamin Grosvenor and has little farm
of his own at Pomfret Street. He had
been trying vainly for several years to
make people believe his cotton theory,
and this year has verified it by growing
cotton on his farm. His crop is small
one, but it looks splendid. johnson,
who tended thousands of acres of cotton
in the South, says that his Pomfret Street
plants are quite as luxuriant and promis.
ing as any that are raised in Dixie. He
adds that while the Northern season is q
short one, the soil here is richer and the
plants thrive better than in the South.
He also grows nne sweet potatoes

LIVELY MEETING AT UNION,
The Most Pugnacious Day Of the
South Carolina Campaign.

Soutn Cdrolna Campaign.
COLUMBIA, S. C.-The most excitiui
meeting of the State campaign occurred
Thursday at Union. There came dan
Serously near being personal difficult,
IN the stand, between Governor
Tillman and Col. Orr, the Conservative
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, which
would have resulted in a riot.
In his speech, Governor Tillman asked
Colonel Orr for his authority for SAVING
that preacher had said that he (Tillman'
Haunted his profanity in public. Col
Orr replied that he did net divulge con.
versations and added that T.llman knew
The statement was true as he could ascer.
tain by appealing to the preachers in gen.
cral
/ The Governor said that sometimes an
oath slipped out, but that it had done so
only on one occasion during the cam
paign. He appealed to the ladies pres
cnt to signify if in their opinion they
considered him blackguard, but
there was no response from them.
The Governor then said that Orr or any
"thcr min who said he haunted his pro.
frnity in public lied.
Col Orr advanced to the Governor aud
atching him by the arm wheeled him
around and asked him if he was irving
to raise personal difficulty. Tillman
said he was not and Orr shook his finger
in his face and told him that he could
not iutimat, that he (Orr) lied without
having it thrown in his (Tillman's) teeth.
He told him further that Tillman had
boosted of being Almighty God gentle
man"
The Governor said SO he had, and Orr
replied that He did not do himself cred
it when He made you. He again caught
hold of the Governor and asked him if
he meant to intimate that he was liar
The Governor said that il Orr did not
originate the statement did not apply to
him
BY this time the crowd had become
raging mob People climbed up on the
stand. Men pulled off their coats, swore
like tro opers and ga hered around the
two men, 1t looked for all the world as
if blood was to be shed Col. Orr stood
to the rack and told Tillman he had re-
peatedly used curse words on the stand.
The Governor said he had not done it
but once, and he would leave it to ex-
Governor Sheppard who, however, had
nothing to say. The excitement by this
time was intense. Col. Orr again caught
hold Of Tillman, who had turned his
head toward the crowd in font, and told
him if he wanted fight he could get it.
The Governor said he did not and Col.
Orr went back to his seat, remarking that
Tillman must let him alo. e. The Gov.
living man could hulldozc him. " ef 4

not generally understood that itpossessas
nearly one half of the total railway
mileage of the whole world. Consider
ing that more than four fifths of the
