Looking Towards the South.
Home seekers and investors in the north
and west are looking towards the south.
The impression is abroad that at no very
distant time the south will be the rich-
est and most prosperous section Of the
country.
Reports from the northwest are to the
effect that tens OF thousands of people
are moving away from that section, be
cause they canot make living there.
Many of them are coming south. This
winter committees from various parts of
the west, representing home seekers, Will
visit Georgia and Florida with the view
of purchasing large bodies of land. #
they find conditions as they have been
represented, they viii be the advance
guard Of thousands OF western people
who viii make their homes in the south.
And the farmers Of the south, notwith-
standing the low price of cotton, are
better off than those OF the west. A writer
in the New York Herald, speaking of the
south's future, presents some interesting
total value Of farm products in the south
in 1880 was SG56,O0oo0o, against 81, 55O0O Gao
for the remainder Of the country. In 1890
the south produced $773000,00O a gain Of
S1O7 000. 600 or 10 per cent, while the gain
in the rest Of the country was $l4400O,G)0
or per cent. The south had SO, 1890 900
invested in farm interests in 1890, and the
total productions were $773. 100000, or a
gross revenue Of 24.l per cent on the cap
ital. All other sections combined
had sl2, 797 100000 invested in farm
operations. and the product was
Sl,6S7. 5000 600 or 1S1 per cent gross
revenue. They show that for every
dollar received from northern farmers On
the capital invested southern farmers re-
ceived nearly 81"
For a section that was practically
ruined by the war of secession the fore
going is splendid showing. The south
is forging to the front. A great future
awaits her

the maintenance of Kelley's army of

tions of that state of the Objectionable
elements composing Kelley's army, and

road dumped the army into the territory

If a suit involving the right of the road
to dump tramps into g state or territory
without incuring liability were to be
brought it would present some new points
Of law.

The charge of the populists that the
candidates for the Senate made bar
rooms OF their headquarters" at Atlanta
is too unreasonable to be taken any notice
of by the gentlemen accused. The popu-
lists idea Of politics seems to be log roll
ing and vote buying with whisky, and
they cannot conceive how politics can be
run on any other plane. The high char
acter Of the men who were candidates
before the caucus acquits them OF the
charge without one word of denial from
them.
Mai. Bacons selection to represent Geor-
gia In the Senate is a shining illustration
Of the efficacy OF pluck and perseverance
