SOUTH LEADS IN NATIVE POPULA-
 TION.
A New York editor says:

NeW 1Ofk eQlIOf says.
 Tt is not generally known that the largest percentage of native-born popula- tion today is found in the south. That fact has been overlooked in the mad rush which made the growth of the west the wonder of the world.
 Tn the south capital will encounter none of the adverse features to which it has been subjected elsewhere. It finds firmly established government, respect for law and order, and above these in ducements an ample opportunity for prof 1t. The natural resources of the south are enormous, and the opportunities for converting it's products into finished ma terials are not equaled in any other DOT ton of the country. The climate is go equable in character that living expenses are less than in the north while at the same time the standard of living is &C., tually raised. The natural inference is; therefore that well paid, contentsd lab-r will be the rule, and the disastrous strikes which have interrupted the peaes- full progress of our northern industrial centers will not be met with in constant ly recurring periods. We have already seen that the south can compete success fully with the north in almost any branch of manufacturing, and that the advan tages on its side are so gerat that the re- moval of certain manufacturing estab- lishments to this more favored spot is al .eedy assuming ornidabl9 proportiors There is an evidence of permancy about this more recent nigrat ton that has been lacking heretofore and it augurs well for the fl1tlre

A TRIUMPHANT MARCH

Of Insurgents Against Turkish Troops
 Latter Make Desperate Charge.
 London, April 13.-The Times special from Trikahalpae says that the Turkish garrison that was besieged by the irsur- gents has cut it's way through with a loss of thirty killed. The fighting was stub born and long and it was only after the third attempt that the Turkish troops were able to issue from their barracks.
 The insurgents, the dispatch states, continued their march into Macedonia and have captured the town of Krania. Finally they pursued the Turkish troops close to Grevna. Throughout the oper- ations have hitherto been so successful for the insurgents that the latter lost only three chiefs killed and four men wounded, according to the special dis patch.

ADGER.
Difference With Coke Pullers Amicably AdjustedLMiners Asked to Meet
 President Baxter for
 Conference.

Adger. April 12-(Special Correspond ence) 1.-The coke oven strike has been settled at the Adger coke ovens, the men pulling the coke at 271k cents an oven and not leading it, as the company at first proposed. The company wanted it pulled and loaded at 35 cents an oven, the former price of pulling alone, but the men agreed to accept reduction in pull ing, but did not wish to load the coke. and compromised at a reduction of 7k cents an oven, or about 23 per cent.
 A miners mass meeting has been called for Adger, Johns and Sumter Tuesday afternoon, at Adger base ball grounds, for the purpose of meeting MT Baxter, the president of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company; for what purpose, the writer cannot say, but SUD- pose on account of the low price of iron the company will have to offer reduc- tion to the men. But we are prayerfully hoping that nothing of the kind will be suggested. But as our friend, MT. Bax- ter, does not come to Blue Creek on any small occurrence, and as he asked the men to meet him, we naturally suppose that it is not for the good of the wage earner, although the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and its off, cers are always pleasant corpora tion to deal with.
 A stranger, on coming suddenly into Adger would be surprised to run across what is seemingly a new house on wheels erected at the mouth of the slope. He would immediately begin to think of the horrors of the flood of the Mississippi valley, and wonder If this was a llousc made to be moved at will in case of an overflow of Blue creek, a small stream passing through Adger. Put on a close examination and inquiry he would learn that it was only the two-ton car erected for the use in Adger mines. But although a great many miners object to the two ton car, it will save the miner many a step in pushing up cars In the course of the day.

be that he is Democrat--and ordi.
narily that may not be bad fault but
under the present circumstances it is
inexcusable. Is Mr. Champion or his
Democratic friends doing anything for
the Republican or Silver Republican
candidates? Then why should the
Republicans or Silver Republicans
waste their sweetness upon the desert
air by supporting Democrat with no
show of electiong Remember there
are but three candidates for District

Republican candidate is John b. Me-
