Coming South.

The Chicago News says the latest
colonization enterprise was organized
in Madison county, Ind, and some
fifty families from there will 60 to
Southern Alabama this fall. The
members of the company are well to-
do and fairly prosperous, as farmers
in this section invariably are. There
is little doubt but that the extension
of transportation facilities in this
country has considerably modified
Northern agricultural pursuits. Now
the people of Northern cities are sup
piled with vegetables and fruits of all
kinds from Southern points, and by
the time the Northern farmer has an
opportunity to put his own products
on the market the demand for them
has passed and the earlier pro.
ducts from the South meet the de-.
mands, so that the Southern producer
is always a little ahead of the North
erner at his own door. This has prac.
tically destroyed all lighter branches
of agricultural industry at the North
and increased the heavier, more bur.
densome and less remuneratiVe sort.

A Righteous Verdict.

VIM, G. Campbell, who killed L.
L. Pettigrew in Spartanburg last Jan
uary, was recently convicted of man.
slaughter. Campbell vas a police
man at the time, and Pettigrew, a
stranger tramp from Tennessee, made
his escape from the guard house, when
Campbell shot him in the back as he
was running away. The case excited
considerable comment at the time,
and Mr.. Calvert, the mayor, was
severely criticised, and not merely for
restoring Campbell to his position as
policeman pending so grave a charge
against him, for employing lawyers
to defend him, and pay them out of
the public funds. Campbell, however,
was proven to have brutally dubbed a
man while he had on handouts and
was in the custody of himself and an.
other policeman since the killing of
Pettigrew, which SO aroused the in.
dignation of the citizens that he was
forced to resign, and hence was not a
policeman at the time of his trial.
