is it now under tlio tariff reiorm of the

The Augubta Chronicle, in referring
to tho fact tbut Qeo, \Yudo liumpton

week, asks:
"Is it not iu the rango of possibili
tieR that the decision of Judge Ooll
breaking down Curoliua's registration
low may pave the way for auutber
condition of thi'.gs thut will call for
history to repeat itself und for W ade

Gen, Hampton is well advanced in
years, and it bus been tho belief of
many thut be bud long since done with

A writer in the hnoxvillo Tribune
says that within tho pust eighteen
months thirty four manufacturing en
torpriscs have been located nlonc; the
hue of the Illinois Central railroad,
and all through tho iutlucnee of that
road, nud a .Mr. l'owcrs its industrial
agent, These factories represent a
capital of nearly $4,U00,?00, end nil of
the thirty-four but six aro located
Bi nth of tho Ohio river, Tho Tribuuo,
iu referring to thin matter, says:
"This is one ol the good results of
having a railroad that takes an active
interest in the development of the suc?
tion ol tlit; country along its line. Tho
llliuois Central has done much for tho
Southern section through which it
runs. Through its active encourage?
ment and aid in the way of shipping
t?te? a fruit and vegetable industry liua
been built up a ting its lines in VVesI
Teunessee, oud further South, that uu
uualfy yields many IhousauUs of dol?
lars tu the farmers iu those regions.
1 he Mobile and Ohio roud has pursued
the name policy."
Our contemporary is of the opinion,
oud it is not alouo, that railroads cau
be mtule great developers und great
Promoters of prosperity, anil it might
have udded, that the Southcru roads
generally have been n promoter nud
