Over 1900 People Brought Into the
City Yesterday.

Over 1900 People Brought Into the
City Yesterday.
The Seaboard Air Line brought in over
1000 people yesterday and last night
from over its Georgia and Alabama line.
this being the largest excursion of the
season TO this point. The Seaboard
makes practice of giving several of
these excursions each summer, this being
the second this season. The first excur-
sion in May brought in 1900 people.
1t is believed that yesterdays excursion
will even exceed in point of numbers that
of July II year ago. when the Georgia
and Alabama brought in 2025 people.
Three trains were run yesterday. The
first arrived at 8 a. m. from Helena with
$40 people aboard. The second came in at
o'clock in the afternoon with 635 pas
sengers. The third train came in last
night from Montgomery and Columbus
with over 800 people aboard. The excur-
sion is one of the largest ever run over
the Georgia and Alabama, and it is noted
for the fact that it was generally taken
advantage of by the best class of people
along the line. The large majority of
the excurslonists are whites and for the
most part are very creditable representa-
tives of their section.
The tickets are only good to Savannah
and return but most of the excursionists
will take in Tybee. The hotels and board
ing houses were crowded last night and
this condition is likely to continue to-
day. The tickets are good for four days,
and II is believed that the majority of the
eXcursionistS will stay out the limit

A Bright Picture.

The Record publishes in this issue the

before the American ASiatir Association
by Hon. John l.. Mel I.aurin, the eloquent
and progressive Junior Senator from
South Carolina. 1t believes that speech

eloquently said and has a solid founda-
ton in fact. The progress Of the South
III recent years has been marvellous.
That progress is largely due to the
growth of this cOuntry's ASatic trade.
The cutting OF Of that trade would be a
heavy blow to the development OF this

Pensions for ConfedcrateS.

Senator Tillman, says Washing
ton dispatch, has come out squarcly
i'll favor of the granting of pensions
to cx-Confcdcratcs who served in the
Mexican war. Every Southern Scna-
tor is in favor of this act Of Justice
being extended, and it is the opinion
Of many that the time is not far dis
tant before this will be done by the
Congress of the United States. Scna-
tor Tillman, in the Senate, the other
day announced his position in an
emphatic manner during the con-
sidcration of a measure, which was
pending, granting pensions to cx-
Confcdcratcs who served during the
Spanish war. The Senator from
South Carolina gave this measure
his hearty support, as did all the
other Confederate members in
the Senate, onl y one Of whom served
in the Mexican war. Senator Till
man said he could really sec no rca-
son why pensions should be granted
to the class which upheld the Union
in the Spanish war, and refused to
those who had defended their coun-
try and their flag III the war against
Mexico. Other cx -ConfedcratcS in
the Senate expressed the same opin-
ion; but no movement was made to
include the latter class. IT is stated
that the amount involved in granting
pensions to this class Of cx-Confedc-
rates who served in thc war of 1910
would be practically very small.
In connection with this, it may be
interesting to know that in the Sen
ate Of the United States there is
only one Senator who served in the
war with Mexico. This Senator is
Senator pcttus, Of Alabama. The
Alabama Senator was lieutenant
in the volunteer army during the
Mexican war. Senator pcttus voted
for the measure in the Senate, Civ
ing x-ConfcderatcS who served in
the Spanish war pensions but if the
same act was extended to Mexican
war veterans, it is not likely that he
would ask the bounty of Uncle Sam.

McLaurin's Spooch in New York.

Ono hundred and two members and
guests Of tho American Asiatic Associa-
tion sat down to tho second annual din
nor of tho organization at Dclmonico's $,
in New York, last Friday night. Among
tho guests of honor was Senator John l..
McLaurin, of South Carolina.
Senator McLaurin spoke at length Of
tho industrial growth of the South and
its stimulation by trade with the Orient
Ho said
Under favorable conditions there is no
limit to tho industrial possibilities and
progress Of tho South. The mills arc
bound to como TO tho cotton in the near
future, and Yen will find every little
town las a ginncry, oil mill and yarn
factory run by the same power and com
bincd under one management. Add to
what it mcaus. There is no hy-pr"durt
in tho world whose possibilities com
paro with cotton seed. The profit of
such a plant would he about -; per cent
per annum. When every ncighholhood
has such n plant of this kind the South
will be the richest country on earth. In
iron, steel and other industries rcmarka-
bio progress has been made. 1t was con
tidcntly predicted, and fear hoped, by
tho New England manufacturers twenty
years ago that the South would never
become Il manufacturing center. The
labor problem, the chief predicted oh
staclo, has been satisfactorily solved
N, Il L. >I,,1,
demonstrated. Where ihc New England
mills pay $l.25 per day our mills pay =,
cents. There is no better class of riti-
Zcns and no better laborcrS than the mill
operatives of tho South. They are the
children Of those who for four years fol
lowed Lee and Jackson without reward
or tho hope Of reward, for they were not
slave owners. All efforts I" use the
negro in th; factories have hrcn futile,
but the negroes are directly benefited,
because the factory draws labor from the
farm, thus cnlarging the colorcd man $
opportunity in a field for which he is
peculiarly adapted.
The magnificent possibilities Of a com
mcrcc eagerly awaiting development is
a prize worthy to be solved. The South
cannot stand still and cunScrvativcly op-
pose commercial expansion. To do so
means to 90 backward toward the ruin
Gus conditions Of thirty years ago.

QUESTION Of the Philippines is to mark an

cial competition. 1t is a question of
