THE CONDITION OF THE STATE
The Charleston News and Courier
publishes a general review of the in
dustrial condition Of the State. 1t has
received replies from thirty-three OF
its correspondents, practically cover
ing the entire State, and touching
generally upon the condition OF the
farmers, merchants, manufacturers
and working people, as compared with
their condition in previous years how
the people generally have met their
Indebtedness of the closing year, and
what credit they will be able to obtain
in 1895: how the volume of trade at the
stores has compared with former years,
and what policy the farmers will adopt
as to the cultivation of cotton and pro-
vision crops in the new year. The
replies vary very much as to details,
and the reports in several instances
are evidently colored by the pessimistic
Or optimistic sentiments of the writer's,
but there Is a general consensus of
opinion that money is very scarco: that
labor Is cheap and plentiful, and that
homo raised hog and hominy are more
abundant than in many years. Cotton
mills. with very few exceptions, are
reported rs tlourishing, having paid
their annual dividens.
1t is clear from this report that the
acreage in cotton will be very much
reduced; that provision crops will he
planted extensively, and that there
will be much less commercial ferti-
liZcrs bought this year. Altogether
the outlook is not as blue as some OF
the croaters would make it appear.

Childish HappineSS.

The following poem is from the pen
of Miss Kate Taylor, the eight-year-o' d
daughter OF "Our Bob" Taylor. 1t is
wonderful production for child OF
her years and will be read with great
interest.
Ny dear little children, ifyoud like to know
What makes me so happy, I'll tell you right
through:
'ris because the sweet flowers have blossoms so
bright,
And the stars and the moonbeams shine SO every
night.
The apples and peaches are pink blossoms now,
But they'll soon turn to fruit with rosy red
brow.
And the grape vines and pear trees will hang
heavy and high.
And they'll look like picture against the blue
sky.
The plums and the cherries will ripen and
fall,
And the rosy-cheeked children wi gather them
all,
And the dear little strawberry will droop on he1
vine,
And drink the warm sunshine as king would
his wine.
The trees and the grass will be dressed il
bright green,
And the roses beneath them will color til,
scene;
And OH such picture of beauty and love
With the flowers below, and the blue SIX,
above.
The queen of the flowers, her name is tn
rose,
And her sister the lily, will he dressed in neN
clothes,
And the daisy with huttercup close by he
side.
beneath the green trees and grass they wi
hide,
And then will my happiness greater be,
[ For all the worlds beauty my blue eyes wi
see. KATE TAYLOR

What the South Can Do.

1t is that the South has at hand,
and therefore cheap, all the raw mate
rails entering into manufactures that
its labor and cost of living are cheaper
than at the Moth; that it can, in
consequence, manufacture goods oil
all kinds at less cost than the North or
the West; That it can not only supply
the home demand, but also export
goods with profit; that in the finer
lines OF manufactures it is extending
its operations with success, and that,
to compete with it, wages in the North
must he reduced. With ali these ad.
vantages on its side the fault will be
with the South if it fails to reach out
its hands and take what nature has SC

ACCIDENT on THE SOUTHERN.
Faithful john Patterson Finds the
Emergency Sion.

The intelligence was flashed over
the wirr last Saturday night that pas.
senger train No. 9 on the Southern
had been wrecked near Fnllens, Tenn,
and the engineer killed. To those OF
us who had the pleasure OF knowing
this engineer personally this announce,
ment brought only sorrow. We knew
that VIXEN John Patterson was killed
the life Of good citizen, a loving ia.
Their, fond husband, loyal friend
and one OF the bravest and best engi-
neers the world has ever known, was
crushed out.
We are told by eye witnesses that
the body of this unfortunate engineer
was found in such position as to in.
dictate that he had done all he could
to save his train and the lives of his
passengers after he found his engine
had mounted the rail. There was n 3,
evidence that he had given himst II u
thought. With his right hand he had
reversed his engine and at the same
moment his faithful left hand instinct
lively found the emergency stop" with
the air lever. In this position the
poor fellow was killed, caught between
the boiler head and the tender. The
remains were brought to Jonesboro,
the old home of the deceased, and iu-
tered Sunday afternoon. The funeral
services were attended by a large
number o. friends from Knoxville,
Bristol and this city. John Patterson
was about forty.three years ola and
leaves a wife and two children.
This wreck is supposed to have been
caused by a spike being placed on the
track by train wreckers, as previous
ones, and the Southern has announced
reward of 81 200 for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties. One
OF the atrangest things about the
wreck is that the fireman, William
Holmes, escaped without scratch
and this is the third or fourth engi,
neer that has been killed on the en-
CINE with him in similar accidents.
