ENGLISH CAPITAL.

England is finding cause of great com plaint; that is to say, her moneyed peo- hple are alarmed at the low rate of inter- est prevailing, and the question is being asked whether the amount of capital in the world has not outrun the demand? A London journal presents estimates of the amount of capital invested in foreign countries each year for several years previous to 1890. the total reaching $700,- 900. .000 Since 1890 comparatively little English money has been invested abroad, and the accumulations of that country are piling up to immense proportions.
 This condition of affairs cannot long continue. Capital must seek an outlet and find active employment. The South is the field and it's bound to come this way. Hundreds of millions could here find profitable investment in agricultural lands, in cotton factories, mines, fur naces and foundries. Confidence is the one thing absolutely necessary to draw this idle capital in this direction; and confidence can best be established by care and preservation of our public and private credit.
 Everything now points to most pros porous era in the history of the South: but the only drawback here is lack of this very thing of which England com plains of superabundance An exchange of our natural resources for some of this accumulated wealth would prove of mu- tual advantage, and the cautious, steady. directing hands of men qualified for the service are needed to bring English cap ita1 to the South. Boomers. fakirs and modern promoters are not needed to ac- complish this great work, but genuine de- velopers. with conscience enough to guide alright and intelligence enough to picture this field of profitable investment.

THE Y. P. s. c. D.

The Young Peoples Society of Chris tian Endeavor was founded about thirty years ago. yet in that brief space of time 1t has grown until it numbers many hun dreds of thousands. It has grown until it can send 5O,00O delegates to its annual convention, as it did to Boston. It has spread all over the civilized world. It was successful from the start and filled a long felt want" An American pastor had a large number of young people to join his church. He knew that he must put them to work to interest them and hold them So he organized the society, and from that beginning it has spread to its present mammoth proportions This pastor knew human nature and realized that each member of church should be hn active working member In this way the church became an organized and dis ciplined body, like an army By putting every member to work the dead weight, or inertia, was overcome. In mechanics the great problem is to overcome the in ertia, and in proportion as this is accom- plished the piece of mechanism becomes more useful. This same principle exists in organized bodies of men.

 In conversation with Prof. Douglas AL len last Friday he stated that he would likely go to Montgomery to take charge of school there. Any community will do we'll to secure the services of Pro- lessor Allen as teacher, as he is a scholar and gentleman and an all around good man. It will be remembered that Pro- lessor Allen has been principal of the Col linsville High school for several years and it grieves these people much to o'give him up. To know him is to love him. Prof. Zach McWhorter will take charge of the Collinsville High school the first Monday in September next. Professor McWhorter has had a great deal of ex- perience in teaching and will evidently give satisfaction. From present indica- tions we will have a large attendance next year.

THE COURSING HATCH

A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
at LOG South Main street for the purpose
of deciding upon some place where the COM
ing coursing match should take place. A
number of well-known dog owners were
present and grew enthusiastic over the
meeting. A majority of those present were
in favor of Alamitos as the best place for
the meeting, and committee of two,
Messrs. w. f. Barber and Hall, were ap-
pointed to 60 down and select grounds for
the match and to work UP the enthusiasm
of the residents of Santa Ana. The two
handsome cups offered by Martin Murphy
for the winners are attracting good deal
of attention from those interested in the
sport and the entries are coming in we'll.
There will be meeting next Sum
day, December Goth, at 1880
p. IN. at 1O6 South Main street,
for the purpose of selecting the judges,
slippers, ETC. The drawing of the dogs
will also take place on the same evening.
Entries for the event will be received by
Martin Murphy, at the address given
above, and the handsome cups that are Of
fered are On exhibition at the same place.
There 10 every reason to believe that the
coursing match will be one of the most
successful ever given here. 1t IL a sport
that should certainly be encouraged, for 1t
is q clean, honest amusement, wherein the
entries are usually run upon their merits.
In fact, it is difficult to be otherwise. A
large field in this event is confidently
locked for, and the affair should show
some sport we'll worth seeing.
