SOUTHERN eLEANINes.


Hello, Goliah!n People in the lobby
at the door of the house Of representa-
tives, in Washington, turned at the
curious salutation, delivered in a
hearty tone. They saw Congressman
Kilgore, of Texas, a giant in stature,
addressing man of still more
magnificent proportions. Thirty years
ago Col. Kilgore and Col. N. Nj. Lane,
of Louisville, KY, were soldiers to-
gether in Ector's Texas brigade. Lane
was aid-de-camp, and was known as
''Goliah Lane" among his friends,
and Kilgore was adjutant-gen-
eral of the brigade. They were
warm friends. After serving through
the war they drifted apart Lane
went to Louisville and became a
prosperous citizen of that place, and
Kilgore in the course of time loated
into congress on the crest of big ma
jority. In thirty years one had not seen
the other. Mr.. Lane, with his wife and
daughter, visited Washington, and Mr..
Lane went to the capitol to speak to
Representative Caruth, of his state.
While they were standing in the lobby,
engaged in conversation, Kilgore passed.
He looked at Lane, and quick as flash
turned around and accosted him by his
nickname. Lane looked at Kilgore for
moment and pronounced his name.

In our eagerness, however. to secure new peO-

South make the fatal mistake OF admitting into
our Borders the ranting socialist and the muir
derOus anarchist. There is no latch string for
the turbulent Hun and riotOus Pole, VINO know
nothing and care less for our American institu-

American portion Of the republic, and il be-
hoOvcs us TO guard we'll our portals against inn
ported ignorance, pauperisn, lawlessness and
continental vice in all its forms.
Horace Greeley once said 'the South needs
fifty thousand cOOks% but what we really need

Of people in the manufacture of Southern cot
ton. Could we manufacture our entire cotton
product it would require an investment of
81 200 600 coo, and would mean the employment
of at least five million Southern operatives.
