The recent movement on the part of

ing bosiness men of Chicago to erect
for permanent use in the latter city an
exposition building where the textile
goods manufactured in the South, as
we'll as the other chief products of that
section, can be on exhibition, Is wise
one, and will without doubt be a great
success, and tend toward a CONNER
cial development of the South. As
we have several times before stated in
these columns the South is possessed of
great natural advantages which need
only capital and energy TO develop
them. Possessed of these two great
factors, the South is destined to be-
come one of the richest sections in the

has perhaps obtained a high-r state

there is no doubt but that there arc
plenty of other opportunities for the
development of other branches Of
business that will in time be Just as
profitable as cotton manufacturing has
been in the past.

THE DYING YEAR.
IChristian Work. !

My door stands open wide tonight
In token of a parting guest,
Who twelve months since, with keen de-
light,
welcomed to my homely nest.
He stands there now. wan, wasted, old.
His race quite run, its mission Ger,
And when the midnight hour is tolled,
We part, to meet on earth no more.
He came to ME in merry guise,
With hopes and promises not new,
All, who could look within those eyes
And deem that they were all untrue!
But expectations all have fled,
The promises are broken, too,
The hopes lie withered, crushed and dead
Not one of all proved untrue,
And there he stands, deorepit, wan,
Who came 20 me merry elt,
A few sands more he will be gone,
And with him gone part Of myself.
So come and 90 the passing years
That bear us to the silent sea,
But bright with smiles or dim with tears,
They come in love, dear Lord, from
Thee

lsed of doing, but the invisible forces

cused of doing, but the invisible forces
OF nature are SO omnipresent as an am
blent quality in his verse that he can
never reveal all that is in him. His
poems will deserve to be studied for
these reasons. Mr.. Stockard has sent
US the prospectus of volume of verse
which is proposed to be issued, provi-
ded proper encouragement is assured it
now. About $50 more subscriptions
in advance to the book are necessary
TO insure its publication. We want to
see them all vouchsafed early in the
new year, and we call on every friend
OF ours who loves noble poetry and
who wants to help in the establishment
Of permanent and distinct North Car
DINA literature, to write Mr.. Henry
Jerome Stockard, Monroe, N. c., sub
scribing to his book (s1.) to be paid
for when published and delivered. We
would like to see the State press co op-
crate fully in the matter, and hope this
will call the matter to their attention.
The failure OF Mr.. Stockard to put his
poems in permanent form would be
distinct loss to the State.
The following complimentary ref
erence to Mr.. Stockard is from. he
pen of Mr.. Frank /. Stanton, of the
Atlanta Constitution, himself a poet
of exceptional gifts:
Henry Jerome Stockard, of North
Carolina, who has been an exposition
visitor here for week past. has return
ed to his home in Monroe. Mr.. Stock
ards name is familiar to all lovers cf
fine literature and we nave frequently
expressed admiration for his work, as
1t appears from time to time in the
Century and other magazines. We
are glad to repeat here that no one to-
day is writing better sonnets than those
which bear Mr.. Stockard's signature
If, indeed, he is equaled in this, the
most difficult form of verse. Nothing
finer than his sonnet on "Homer,"
with It's splendid closing line:
: Upon the old sea-cinctured shores of
Greece"
has been written by any poet in this
prolific year of verse; and the same
may be said of his sonnet on "Shakes-
Dere," with its climax:
Crowned with the Night and with the
Morning stoled!''
There are laurels for this poet of the
Old North State; the bays are blooming
for him from far away.

in a better position if he had spoken
out before the recent agitation of the
Venezuelan question and had put an
end by his own words to the third term
business which was being engineered
by his closest friends. When he was
first selected he did not hesitate TO an
nounce his conviction that one presi-
dental term was enough. His silence
in regard TO third term has undoubt-
edly caused,,. him to be misunder-
stood.
Our cukoo critics cannot see how
we can predict that there will be no
war, and still endorse the message.
They overlook the fact that our abid-
ing confidence in peaceful solution
of our differences does not in any way
involve the merits of the Monroe doc
trine or of Mr.. Cleveland's position
We simply express the opinion that
England will prefer a peaceable set
tlement, and it is natural that we
should feel the same way because our
people have no desire to fight if they
can get all that they are contending
for without the loss of life and prop
erty. This country is able to main
tain the Monroe doctrine by asserting
it.
For months to come it is likely that
this question will occupy the public
mind. During that time we intend to
throw all the light possible upon the
situation. Both sides shall have fair
treatment, and the distinguished men
who oppose the Monroe doctrine and
who deny that it applies to Venezuela
shall have hearing as we'll as those
who hold different view. In these
days no newspaper can win the respect
and confidence of its readers when it
publishes only one side and suppresses
some OF the facts Of the case. \ news
paper Handicapped by patronage may
be compelled to pursue such course,
but the people will not look to it for
the news nor will its opinions have
any weight. The people demand the
facts in every controversy and they
will make up their own judgment.
The day is past when newspaper can
suppress the expression of that side Of
controversy with which it might not
agree and when it can control public
opinion by giving only one side Of
an important question.

THE TIDE TURNS SOUTH,
Farmers of the Northwest Migrating
Toward Dixie,
lChicOgo Times Herald I

Several western states are alarmed
by shrinking population. The tide
OF emigration is changing and they
feel the drain. In some sections peo-
pie and press are up in arms to stay
the movement. The drain on Iowa,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and
Wisconsin has become serious enough
for the railroads of those states to give
1t attention, and it threatens to grow.
"A strong tide OF emigration has set in
from those states 10 the south. Even
Illinois feels the current, although not
seriously. CuriousIy enough, Illinois
people prefer to move westward into
the very regions which are heing de-
serted by their early settlers.
For a year past railroads having
large tracts ofland in the south have
been at work among the farmers of
the northwest with enticing pictures
of life below Mason and Dixon's line,
and they are now beginning to reap
the fruit of their labor. They have
agents scattered over several states,
who are gathering the Drawn of west
ern prairies and sending it south to
fell forests and till farms. A feature
OF the work is the organization of
number of colo' les, which will give
the northern people the society of
nelghbors and Others who have ideas
and taste in common. These settle
ments are to be conducted somewhat
on the plan Of the farm villages of
Germany. The colonies will live in a
central village, and they will go to
and from work on their farms lying
outside.
"The chief arguments in promoting
emigration to the SOUTH" said E. P.
Skene, land commissioner of the Illi-
nois Central, yesterday. "are the
cheapness Of land and the mildness Of
the climate. We undertake to show
that the negro is an advantage, in
stead of detriment, because he will
work for 50 cents day and fnd him
self. We also find that milk sells in
New Orleans at ten cents gallon by
the wholesale, as against s cents in
Chicago. In the local market the
product of the farm bring much better
prices south than north, in some cases
twice as much. This may be only a
temporary advantage, but we hold
that the southern farmer has more
markets than the northern, and the
Illinois Central is making a special
effort to get the southern products to
good markets at reasonable rates. Be-
fore the war the south grew the bulk
Of the agricultural products of the
country. Neither the climate nor
the soil has changed, and we find that
a strong argument. Western railroads,
newspapers and politicians are trying
to stay the tide, for which. L do not
blame them, but think we have bet
ter arguments.
Dispatches from western points in
dicate more hslly and forcibly than
the woEs Of a single railroad the mag
nItude and the widespread character of
the migration to the south. To the
movements which become matters Of
general knowledge must be added the
many which do not attract attention if
one wishes to form an estimate of ,he
doing on the northwest to people and
develop the south.

WHERE W0MANRULES,
The Home r1eans rluch More Than a
Mere Place of Shelter.

Mere Place of Shelter.
The mission of woman is to make
the whole world homelike, While man
commands the existing age, it is woman
who commands the future, and there
is, therefore, nothing more vital than
that our homes should become centres
OF art and beauty, fit to cradle the
coming age. The first definite relation
ship OF humankind was mother and
child. The primitive human mother
followed the example of the animal
mother IN trying to preserve the life of
her offspring. Her duties were ever
at home, looking after the children and
the comfort of the family, says writer
in an exchange.
But in the course Of evolution the
home has come to mean much more
than mere place Of shelter. If we
read evolution backward we see how
the inventions WHICH have beep made
for the needs Of woman, in her capacity
/ as mother OF the race, are being used
to administer to the comforts OF man
kind at large. That housekeeping,
under present conditions, is largely
considered burden, is due to the mis-
conception existing as to the needs of
the household. 1t is popular fal
lacy that any woman, simply because
she is a woman, IS instinctively quail
fed to look after the home, do the
cooking and sewing, care for het baby
and meet her husband with smile.
| This IS q mistake only too common,
one WHICH many learn when too late.
The husband t'.rns the key in the door
Of his workshop when his days work
is done; not so the wife. Her labor
and watchfulness are constant; besides,
she, too. often takes upon herself man.
iIold duties that should be shared by
other members of the family. Every
member of the home bears an imco1-
tant and essential relation &c, the whole,
and ncre r,aY shIrk a duty without
seuliangering the household harmony.
Sons no less than daughters should be
brought into close relationship with the
PRACTICAL duties and responsibilities in
dispensable in home life, while daugh-
ter should not live to blame an over-in-
dulgent mother for her mistaken kind
nesses. All duty and righ, Of obliga-
ton come from good itself ant the idea
Of order. The home is the centre from
which all things radiate.
