change in me.

There is no industry in any az

This enterprise has been brought

THE sOUTHS LITERARY CHANCE
Her Romance and Charm OF Bygone
Days Should be Preserved by
the Pen.

Her Romance and Charm OF Bygone
Days Should be Preserved by
the Pen.
Edward Box, writing of The
South's S Literary Chance" In the
October Ladies' Home Journal,
gives voice ito the feeling of dis
appointment present with many
students of American literature
that more literary activity is not
shown in the South. No part of
America is so rich and so full Of
color as is the South in its adap-
liability to romantic literature,
he asserts. "rhere is no period
in American history at once so
poetic and so full of the atmos-
phere of chivalric romance as that
which the South saw for a score Of
years previous to 1860. Yet very
little, comparatively speaking, has
been done with it in a literary
sense-so little, in fact, that an
entire generation mas arisen which
knows almost nothing of the pie
turesque qualities Of social life on
the old plantaGIoDs of the South.
All that period Is charged with
romance; with poetry. The peO-
pie who were q part of the life Of
that memorable period still live In
goodly numbers, but they are gra-
dually dying out. Soon both peo-
pie and places will pass away, and
much of the atmosphere will be
lost. And it is before this takes
place that the latent of the South
should awake. and preserve, as it
can now still preserve at first
hand, the romance and charm of
those days of long ago"
Col. A. X. Mcclure, the editor
of the Philadelphia Times Ind. }
speaking of Dewey said to n. Y.
World reporter:
eff the Democrats nominated
Dewey for President, with Wheel
er or Lee for Vice-President, and
adjourned without adopting any
platform. the ticket would be
elected by a large majority, but
the Democrats could not elect the
Apostle Paul if headed by the
Chicago platform. The Wings
defeated the Democrats twice In
our political history by the nomi-
nation of Harrison at Harrisburg
. in December, 1889, without adopt
ing any platform, aud they again
| defeated the Democrats by nOmi-
mating Taylor in Philadelphia in
l849 without any declaration of
principles whatever.
There are ten counties in Missis-
sippi that have no railroads, but
the completion of the Gulf and
Ship Island will diminish the
number. According to the latest
| figures, Washington county has
the largest mileage in the State,
1888 miles, and Bolivar comes
next with 113. Kinds with Ill
and Coahoma with so 2are the next
highest. Tate county has the
least mileage of the counties that
have any railroads at all. Both
it and Pontotoc county have II
miles apiece, but slight fraction
saves Pontotoc from occupying
the last place. Jasper with II
miles, Issaquena with II, Chicka-
saw with l3, Adams with Is and
Choctaw with Is are the other
close contestants for the last place
as regards mileage.
