A GREAT MEETING
OF THE GOVERNORS AND REP
RESENTATIVES OFTHE SOUTH
ERN STATES AT AUGUSTA.GA.
To Consider immigration and In
dustrial Questions for the South.
Editor Post:

Editor Post:
| have just returned from the third
session of the Southern Industrial
and immigration Congress, which
met on May 3Oth, at Augusta, Ca;
and it gives me pleasure to comply
with your request to give few notes
Of the trip to the readers of the Posr.
The first of these meetings were held
at Montgomery, in 1883, and did
much to hasten the tide that swept
over the South later on. The sec
ond was held at Asheville, in 1890,
but as everything seemed to be COM
ing our way, but little was done
then, except to pass resolutions OF
self laudaton and congratulation.
However, in 1891, 4 very creditable
exposition of Southern products was
held under the auspices of this con-
gress at Raleigh, and in 1892 these
products were exhibited in northern
expositions at Buffalo and Elmyra;and
in 1893 the influence Of the organiza
ton was exertcd to get the resources
of the South properly displayed at
Chicago. Now, in 1894. the prog
resSive men Of the South have come
to realize that the Southern people
mast work out their own salvation;
that what nature has done for this
favored section, will not alone out
weigh the shrewdness and push of
the men Of the North and West; and
that some practical steps must be
taken to develop our mines, forests
and farm lands. Hence the calling
together of this Congress at Angus
ia. 1t was decided to hold annual,
and perhaps seni-annual, meetings
hereafter, The basis Of representa-
ton is one delegate from each con-
gressional district in the South, three
delegates to be appointed by the
governors of the respective States,
and one for each railroad, and each
board OF trade and other commercial
organizations in the Southern States.
| went as delegate from this dis
trict, and Ivy previous arrangement,
met the other delegates from this
State at Lynchburg, last Tuesday,
and we went to Augusta in body,
arriving there on Wednesday morn
ing the 30th. The other delegates
from Virginia were, Hon. a. Moore,
of Berryville, who came very near
succeeding Gov. O'Forrall in Con
gress; Mr.. Seymore White, editor of
the Old fredericksburg Free Lance;
Mr.. Jno. S. Williams, the banker of
Richmond, Mr.. j A. Mullen, law
yer and capitalist Of Petersbnrg;State
Scnatorj. Il. Trtadway, Of Danville;
Hon. G.. w. Hale, Of Rocky Mount,
president of the Roanoke and South
ern r. r.. Col 'Thos, Whitehead,
Commissioner of Agriculture, and
Mr. Walter,Sharp, of Norfolk. Coy.
O'Fcrral was prevented from attend
ing by the unwilling of the soldiers
and sailors monument at Richmond.
On the trainwitll lis were Gov Me-
Corkle, the handsome and brainy
young executor of West Virginia,
and his State delegation, and also 4
special car from Washington, con-

The Public School.

There are some of our people who
do not seem to understand that pub
lie schools are established for the
benefit Of the public, and seem to
think that the officials who manage
and control the school, employ teach
ers, &c, should consult with and
converse the personal interest of in
diyiduals rather than the interest OF
the whole people.
The public at large have very little
interest in mho are employed as
teachers, but have Gerry great inter
est in the question of their capacity
and fitness. The most skeptical are
compelled to admit that the public
school has been great success dur
ing the past year. Yet there are a
number of persons, who complain OF
and object to the action of the Coun-
Gil and the school Trustees in taking
steps to secure the services OF Mr..
Slemp and his accomplished corps
of teachers for another year.
The officials deserve the highest
cormond,tion for this action and
the people will support them Loyalty
for the steps taken to continue the
school under the successful manage
mcnt of the past session. let no
mans preiudces or personal interests
or desires interfere with or rctard the
growth and progress Of our public
school.
The school has been conducted
upon plane far above that of amy
other in this section, and has not
been excelled by any of the graded
schools of the larger towns.
Let the people unite and give it
such support during the next year as
will still further advance it toward
the highest excellence. Rise above
petty .jealousies, prejudices and piquc.
The future growth of the town will
depend largely upon the success OF
the school. Encouraged by the
bright prospect of the school we
already hear of number Of families
preparing TO move here that they may
have the benefit of the school in the
education of their children, and many
others will follow their example.
Let no other consideration than
the public good actuate any official
in dealing with this question, which
so virtually instructs us all. We
should all be grati6ed that We can
secure the services Of a principal so
eminently and well qualified as Mr..
Slemp and so fit in every way to d.
.cct the education of the youth of
the town. The accomplished ladies
who constitute his corps of associates
have shown the highest capacity and
carnestness in their calling. Taken
all together. the organization is
strong one and cannot be improved.
Let it go forward to accomplish re-
suits Of which we will all be proud.

POSTMASTER BISSELL is having mailed to
every postmaster in the country copy OF
President Cleveland's celebrated order OF
July IA, 1886, forbidding the manipulation OF
caucuses and conventions by federal officials,
with warning that in the postoffice depart
ment at least he proposes to have it obeyed.
He enjons upon all officials civilty and &C.
commOdating assistance to their patrons,
without oflense to the latter's sensbilities and
urges that neither the postmasters nor their
employees take any advantage of their oppor-
tunity to indulge in political PROSECUTING or
wound the feelings of patrons by expressions
in opposition to their opinions, political. re-
ligious OF otherwise. The order is issued at
this time because the period is drawing near
when party eaucuses and conventions will be
held and is not intended by Mr.. Bissell that
any of his subordinates. at least, shall partici-
pate in them. He does not propose to abridge
their right to vote or to enjoy any of the priv
ileges of American citizenship; but these priv
ileges must be enjoyed outside of Office hours.
Only few days ago he was informed that the
postmaster of Pittsburg, Pa, was arranging
to have three of his letter carriers elected as
delegates to city convention. He immediate
ly notified each of the fou. persons concerned
that their designations would he demanded if
the report were true.

THE Republican drift to silver was again

THE Republican drift to silver was again
exemplifed by the California convention last
week in the adoption of plank declaring un.
equivocally for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at ratio of II to 1, which was
received "with great enthusiasm by the con-
yention. Two years ago the party convention
only demanded the free coinage of the Amer
lean product and in the fight over the Bland
bill in congress last winter two out of the
three Republican representatives voted
against free coinage while Perkins in the SEN
ate voted for the repeal of the Sherman act.
The expressions of all these Republican state
conventions of which that in Vermont is the
most moderate, cannot be regarded as with
out significance. Evidently the national man.
ayers of the party have passed round word
that friendliness must be exhibited toward
silver. The leading Republican papers are
cdming to realize the fact and the st. Louis
Globe Democrat takes Senator Lodge and eX-
Speaker Reed particularly to task for their
course in the matter and concludes that IA
surrender on silver at this time by the.Repub-
licans would be especially fatuous and cow
ardly." That is so, but the surrender is grow
ing steadily more probable, nevertheless.

GOV. GREENHALGE of Massachusetts has
done a righteous and courageous act, against
great party pressure, in vetoing the bill to in
crease the capital of the Bell telephone com.
pany from $3O, 0O0,O0O to 5O,OOO,OOO without
any of the restrictions or safeguards with re.
gard to the sale of the new stock in open mar
ket which Massachusetts policy applies to cor
porations and which would amount to prac-
tical donation of $50, 100000 to the old stock
holders on which the public would have to
pay dividends. GOV. Greenhalge well says in
connection with the veto:
deem it important that suitable legislation
be enacted to prevent the watering of the
stock of quas-public corporations, either
through the instrumentality of construction
companies or otherwise, and also to prevent
the issue of bonds as bonus to parties who
subscribe for stock to contine the expenditure
of these corporations as strictly as possible to
the purposes for which they are organized,
and to insure honesty in dealing both with the
stockholders and the public And further, all
contracts for the lease, sale or purchase of
or street railways should be subject
to the approval of the railroad commissioners.
There seems to be no reason why all quasi
public corporations should not come under a
similar rule. The evils attending the initiation
of securities of corporations which receive
from the public great privileges not granted
to private corporations are so preudical to
the welfare of the people that .judcous meas
ures for the prevention of such imitation are
demanded.

THE Bradford Opinion mistaken in say
ing that if Gen .Grout ''lives through the term
for which he has just been nominated, he will
have the proud distinction of serving IA years
or a longer period than any other Vermonter
has ever represented the state in the lower
branch of congress-" Horace Everett served
IA years from 1929 to 1913, and his was con-
tinuOus service, and Gen. CIRCUITS though it
will be ID years in all, had an Intermisson of
two years due to his defeat by Judge Poland
in 1881. The nearest approach to the seven
terms of these two men is that of Justin S.
Morrill, who was in the House six terms from
1866 to 1867 before he was elected to the sen
ate. Two members have also served five
terms each Martin Chittenden from 1908 to 10
and Rollin c. Mallory, 1S19-31 who was really
the Wing leader in the tariff legislation of 1928
against which South Carolina attempted her
qualification.

The President on the Financial Situa.
ton.
Brooks House Shoe Store.

President Cleveland gave out an interview
Monday evening with regard to the drain of
gold in which he said:
"The offer of certain of the New York
banks to replace from their vaults gold drawn
from the government treasury for shipment
abroad is certainly thoughtful and patriotic.
1t not only tends to maintain the treasury's
gold reserve in good condition but it also adds
to the stock of popular confidence which is at
all times important.
''The elements which make up our actual
situation do not justify any condemnation,
and the party still adheres to its pledge and
determination to protect our nation credit at
all hazards and to keep the quality of our
money equal to the best so far as the limits of
executive power permit.
"Of course, croaking and the spread of dis
putting talk is enough to injure the strongest
financial condition. Iassume, however, that
there is too much patriotism among our peO-
pie and too much familiarity with our re-
sources and capabilities to permit our reserv-
ed force and financial vigor to be discredited
'When the last government bonds were is
sued to replenish our stock of gold it was
nearly as low as now. While, outside of our
gold we had in available money to pay or
binary expenses of government only about
100000, we have now, besides our gold
and in money appreciable to government eX-
penses, more than $53,000,0O0.
'The conditions taken, in connection with
the Willingness of our banks TO help the treas
ury during any temporary and unusual drain
of gold ought to satisfy the most conservative
of our safety. That must not be forgotten as
another favorable feature in the situation that
we are no longer purchasing silver and issu-
ing gold obligations in payment therefor"
