Why the South is Poor.
Durham San.

Durham San.
Why have the Northern States east
OF the Rocky Mountains about twice
the population of the Southern States
Why have they twice the wealth per
capita? Why are their farm lands
worth from twice to five times as much ?
This is the reason:
Because the South sells raw mate
rial and the North sells manufactured
products because the South has only
farms and mines, and the North has
factories.
The South sells little and buys much
and pays profit on it all the North
buys little and sells much, and earns a
profit on it all.
But the South has the more iron
coal and mineral riches the more yalu.
able timber the monopoly OF cotton
sugar and rice, the more favorable eli
mate-ten months in which to till the
soil instead of six-and the most favor
able conditions for prosperity to be
found on the globe. It is the only sec
ton that has raw material in great va
riety and abundance, spread over vast
area, with ability to raise it's own food
supply. 1t is the only section that car
employ a vast body of mechanics in
converting its own raw material and
feed them from it's own farms. In 6
few words the South can produce its
principal raw material more cheaply
and feed it's mechanics more cheaply
than any other section of the United
States can.
If these things are true, and they are
true, they need only to be shown tc
the world to cause the building of FAC
tories, and the influx, of immigration
Every farmer, merchant and land own
er in the South will be personally ben
Gifted by this result.

A Supreme Court on Fortune-Tellers
Lansing (Mich.) Journal.

lansing (lMich.) Journal.
An opinion handed down by the Su-
preme Court is likely TO send cold chills
running up and down the spinal col
umns of modern day seers, fortune tel
lers and the like who have been wont
to find rich harvest in Michigan. It
is evident that the learned justices do
not take much stock in the ability of
the seventh son of a seventh son to tell
the future.
This intimation of the views of
the court was contained in an opinion
written by Justice Grant and signed by
the other justices in the case of the
People VS.. Arthur Elmer.
Last year Elmer appeared at Ionia
and advertised extensively his power to
foretell the future. He was literally
patronlzed, but after advising woman
to leave her husband, saying that while
in trance he had seen the latter in
the act of killing her, he was arrested
as disorderly person and convicted.
This judgment was affirmed in an
oplon in which the English statute.
which declares that "every person pre-
tending or protesting to tell fortunes
shall be deemed rogue and vaga-
bonds," was approvingly quoted. The
opinion also approves the language of
the trial Judge to the effect that no per-
son not lunatic could believe the ac-
cused possessed the power to foretell
the future.

S0UTH'S OPPORTUNITY.
ITS FIELDS ARE OPEN,
Wise Immigration.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
The most important question before
the South is, how to secure lmmigra-
ton. A large movement of population
from the North and West and of the
better classes of German, Scandinavian
and British farmers to the South would
be of incalculable value to this section.
It would stimulate the whole South,
wonderfully augment the growth of
manufactures, enhance the value Of all
agricultural land and of all city proper
ty, increase the money-making oppor-
tunities OF every man, woman and
child in the South, bring abo.t better
educational facilities, secure the con-
struction OF better roads, forever settle
all possible race questions, and give to
this section prosperity as much great
er than that of the North and West as
the natural advantages of the former
exceed those of the latter. It is the
duty OF every man and woman interest
ed In the South to bend their best en-
ergies to this great question. It de-
mands the untlring work, the most lib
eral financial aid and the daily thought
of everyone who desires to see the
South enjoy the blessings that would
come from an ever-lncreasing south
ward movement OF population. Will
the people of the whole South, the
bankers, the merchants, the manufac-
turers, the land owners, the railroad
companies and all others realizing the
vital Importance OF greater energy in
this work and the greatness Of the re-
ward that is possible, take up these
questions with new activity and en-
thusiasm?

Mexican Jury System.
Robesomi0n.

RObesOmidn.
Mexico has an ingenious plan for fa-
cilitating verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary jurors are drawn to sit
near the jury box and listen to the ev-
idence and arguments. If any Of the
regular jury falls Ill or is otherwise dis
qualified from going on, one OF the
"supes" takes his place. In this way
they avoid what is often seen in Amer
lean courts-a long trial rendered use
less when it is nearly finished by sud
den illness or death Of one juror.

THE CHANGE OF TIME,

I tell ye, times is changin',
And cookin's changin', too:
Theirs nothin' hes the relish
That vittles used ter do.
Some thinks it's In the etens-
don't purtend ter say
know things don't taste material
Account fort how ye may.
I don't get no sich beans now
AS mother used ter bake
With pork all crisp and juicy,
Just meltin' like flake;
And loaves of rye and injun,
Cut off in slices round,
All light, and sweet, and smokin,'
Amt nowheres to be found,
Their amt no more such doughnuts
As mother used ter fry;
Their never was her ekal
For mlnce or punkin pie.
Slch gingerbread for trainin's,
Such spicy lection cake,
Sich puddin's and dan-dowdies,
Nobody else can make.
She had big blue platter
That held master sight
But when she'd get billed dinner,
It wasn't too big, a mite,
Piled up with meat and cabbage,
With turnip and with beet,
And carrots and pertaters-
l tell ye, twas complete
We had fiapjacks then, for breakfast,
And real Goldfish hash;
And warm cooked hasty puddin'-
'Twan't much, nor any slch trash.
I banker for biskit,
With butter jest like her'n,
And bowl of cider apple sass
To top the whole concern.
How one thing starts another
'Tis curious, I declare;
I'd e'ena most forgotten
How good her dumplin's we're;
And stews, and tripe and inyons,
And seasoned head and pluck
Our folks does try to fix 'em
But they never has no luck.
Their sassengers and spareribs,
[ don'no what they lack;
Theirs nothin' baked or roasted
Mabbe, twas mothers knack,
Theirs nothln' baked or roasted
Theirs nothin' fried or billed,
That has the genlwine goodness
Or else my taste is spilled
