There is more catarrh in this section
of tho country than all other diseases
put together, and until tho last few years
it was supposed to be incurable. For n
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
cdies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
bo constitutional disease, and it there
fore requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by Il.
j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

The South in welcoming the estab-
lishmcnt of new cotton mills should
look to it that these cotton mills are
Southern in fact as we'll as in loca.
ton. The South must run these cot
ton mills or they will be so run as to
injure the South. If these mills are
established for the purpose Of con-
trolling competition of Southern mills
against Northern mills and run in
order to keep the Northern mills
from losing money they will be a
menace to the South. We must not
allow ourselves to be blinded by any
cry Of great development or prosper
ity. The South has enjoyed a period
of great development and prosperity
for the past thirty years, and while
still growing it is under the Demo-
cratic principles that have been ad-
hered to by our people.
The way to build cotton mills is
for them to be built, owned ana con-
trolled by the people of the section
in which they are operated. The
more Of them SO controlled the bet
ter for our State.
Certain politicians, some of whom
term themselves Democrats, have
made specious pleas in favor of
dcserting the principles under which
the State has prospered and call
themselves protectionists or cxpan-
sionists on account of what they
claim to be the business interests Of
the community. Wherever COM
munity has been built by protection
its young men and its agricultural
classes have cmigratcd TO other
States. SO well is this understood
by the Republicans themselves that
James G. Blaine, in order to change
this condition, adopted idcnticalIy
the reciprocity treaty between the
United States and the British pos
sessions, carried into effect by the
proclamation Of President Franklin
Pierce, and announced this old
Democratic doctrine as brand new
Republican discovery. (See Procla-
nation of President Pierce under

GREAT SHIP YARDS.
Carnegie May Erect Them on Staten
Island.

New York, Feb. 24.-Another of An
drew Carnegie's dreams is nearing
realization, says the Press. This is
the establishment here of one of the
largest shipbuilding yards in the
world, alongside the largest iron
plant. Staten island is the site named
for this enterprise, and 500 acres of
shore land are said to have been pur-
chased.
The prediction that iron, steel armor
plate and other mills will follow is
based upon the plans in progress for
the deepening of the Erie canal,
which, with the great lakes, would
greatly cheaper the transportation of
ore from mine to mill, and make New
York instead of Pittsburg and other
inland cities the national seat of metal
manufacturing.
