THE WEATHER.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 4-For Georgia
Fair tonight and Wednesday. Somewhat
warmer Wednesday.


The wonderful development in all industrial
lines now in progress throughout the south IS
challenging the attention of every section OF the
republic. The east is awakening to the tact
that this sections great natural advantages IS
gradually, but surely, making marked 1nroads
on her manufacturing industries the rapid de-
velopment of thousands of acres OF her cheap,
but fertile agricultural lands renders the south
no mean rival of the great grain and stock pro-
ducing west; millions of wealth are annually ex-
tracted from her practically inexhaustible MIN
eral deposits; while climatic advantages give her
an unassailable monopoly in the production other
own great staple, as we'll as various other pro-
ducts.
Another factor which is going to augment
in striking manner the south great wave OF
prosperity is the building of the Panama canal
for this section is virtual port of entry for this
great worlds highway where voluntary tribute
will be paid by all other sections and nations.
What a glorious future dawns for our be-
loved section, and what leaps and bounds she
will make in population wealth and all other ele-
ments of greatness.
And what is more personally gratifying to
our own city and this immediate local y
is not only keeping pace with this wonderful ad-
vancement but is actually setting the pace for
most other sections.
The south forever And this section in
particular. We love her, and our talents and
energies are forever enlisted in her cause.
The Enterprise is for a WHITE Fitzger-
aid.
Theoretical theology will do for fair wealth.
en- but the practical kind that moves you to send
an order of groceries to the worthy poor is the
only kind worth spending much time over
It is probable that J. G. Rawlins and the
negro, Alf Moore, were hanged at noon today
for the murder of the Carter children, Cover
nor TERRELL having declined yesterday tofurther
interfere with the judgment of the courts.
And now that the president has returned
and congress is in session it is to be hoped that
the construction work on the canal will proceed
with great accelleration. The beni6cent effects
upon the south, of this enterprise, we believe
are destined TO reach far beyond the hopes of
the most sanguine.

The suggested improvement of the Ocmul-
gee river to render it navigable for steam bar.
ges from Macon to the sea is entirely feasible
and is an absolute certainty in the not far dis
tant future It is next to impossible to commit
an extravigance on any project that really faci-
itates transportation. The Ocmulgee should be-
MUST be, and WILL be rendered navigable.

General Nettleton, after careful aud per-
sonal investigation of the Brownsville, Tex, riot
which led to the dismissal of the co1ored troops
concerned, terminates letter to the Secretary
of war with the following emphatic Endorsement
of the presidents action, and keenly pertinent
expressions upon the subjects
Il believe no course other than the one which
the president pursued was or is open to him, uu-
less all sem blance of decent discipline in ar

com munity, north and south alike, is to be Civ
