The Proir resslve South.
The Lyttchburg Advance notes the
act that two significant items of
news from the south appeared a few
days ago. One was that the volume
trait hoA iWi-AaSMl SM.000.000 in
t r :' .'! .1 KA
AUgusm, ua. a cuj uncos iuwi iw,-
000 population, during the past
year; Ihe other that a syndicate of
New York capitalists had invested
$800,000 in aland improvement com
pany at Anmston, Ala.
The Advance agrees with the
Washington Post that all this is
evidence that the south seems to
have entered on a career of prosperity
that is unexampled in her history.
There was no time previous to the
war when her wealth was so threat in
the aggregate or of such a diversified
character as it is to-day.
Her systems of transportation
have been vastly improved of late.
East of the Mississippi nearly all of
the lines of railway have been con
Bolidated under the Richmond and
Danville management While there
may be incidental cases of haidship
resulting to shippers from the con
'solidation of so many different but
not always competing lines, there are
still advantages under the new man
agement, especially in the States af
fected just at this moment, that will
far outweigh any injury done. Con
solidation in this instance means im
proved management, improved roads
and rolling-stock, new and connect
ing lines, and greater facilities for
shipment.
No better proof could be found of
faith in the tuture of the South than
the fact that the money has been
found to organize, build up, and
equip the Richmond and Danville
system of more than 7,000 miles of
railway.
There are more unused business
opportunities in the South than any
other portion of the Union. Its vast
.Savwiai. fi9 .nJ imn ka aha!. a

can be found in West Virginia,
Tennessee and Alabama, its im
mense forests of pine and other mer
1 ill i I .a m
cnaniaoie uinoers to be round in
North Carolina. West Vireiniaand
Florida, have hardly been touched.
Great business activity and wealth
must come from these in the near
future, while cotton, tobacco and
' sugar will be produced in increased
quantities.
Every patriotic, fair-minded cit
izen must rejoics that the heavy
hand of misfortune that fell on the
South with such destructive power
in 1861 and lay therewith unloosen
ed clutch Vn axinotst a quarter of i
century, is at last about to be re
moved.
Akothu version of the Sackville
incident has been revealed. It is
said that it was uajob" concocted
by the Republicans in Harrison's in
terest; that is, the Republicans got
him to write the letter to aid in the
defeat of President Cleveland. If
this be true it shows the unfortunate
position of Irish in American politics.
The way they are treated by Ameri
can politicians reminds one of the
story of the Irsh priest who was
complaining of the wickedness of his
parishioners and of the ineffective
ness of bis denunciations, and even
of his horse-whipping, and, being
tk?d why he did not try the gijel
on tbetn, answered, with a look of
disgust, tint "he wasn't going to
waste good gopel on the likes of
em. So, also, there are hardly any
sound and rational arguments ex
pended on the Iriih. For them
there is neither politic J economy
nor juru-prudence nor argumenta
tionnothing but forged quota
tions, fraudulent letters, labor scares.
and lying accounts of what "Eng
land fears and hates and hopes.
Tat results of Tuesday's elections
do not vary materially from those
already published. General Harri
son has carried New York State by
about 8,000 plurality and has a safe
majority in the Electoral Colleges.
Cleveland carried Connecticut by a
small plurality and New Jersey by a
very substantial one. The return
from Indiana are still incomplete,
but the State is now conceded to
Harrison and Hover by the State
Democratic committee.
- Otherwise there is no change in
the vote of the States from that
given in 1S84 unless California, from
which the returns are meagre, shall
swing into the Democratic column.
this does not now seem probable.
' Mr. Harrison will have in the
electoral college, accoding to latest
estimates, 233, and President Cleve-
and, 168.
The political complexion of the
Fifty-first Congress is as yet uncer
tain The returns are by no means
complete, but the Republicans have
made some gains and may have a
slight majority. In any event the
margin will be very small.
BOILER EXPLOSION.
TUB ENGINE HOUSE TORN
INTO SPLINTERS.
Six Men Wounded -A Miracu
lous Escap for the Work
men. Monday afternoon, about four
o'clock or a few minutes after, when
the Recohdik forms had been closed
and were bein pat on the press, there
occurred an explosion at the works
of the Builders ana manufacturers
Supply Co., which startled the people
in tbat vicinity and many who were
uoon the street, lo those who were
out of doors it sounded like a heavy
blast
The shops of the Builders and
Manufacturers Supply Co , of which
Mr. J. W. Blackweli is President, is
located on P.abody street about mid
way between Uocoran and breen
s'reets. Tbey were in full operation
Monday evening and workmen were
engaged iu their usual duties about
toe machinery, when, at the boor
named, there wis a loud report and
the shops were thrown' into cbaos.
The boiler of the engine exploded,
bursting with tremendous force, just
above the fire box. The engine house
was a small wooden building attached
to the east end of the shops proper.
This part of the building was com
ple'ely d moushed, with lue excep
tion of one en l, and a greater portion
of it torn into kindling wood. The
east end of the machine shop was
blown out and fragments of the wood
arund over the machinery and
workmen. One piece of the : boiler.
abut two feet long and ten inches
wide, was hurled over the heads of
the frightened workmen knocking
ibinzs winding as it went, and fioallv
striking a band saw, knocking it out
of gear. The inside window of Mr.
S E. Watts' office, which is under the
same rot was knocked out and it
made him think of vacating in a
hurry. The shop was filled with
smoke, steam, dost and firing missile
and every thing was in the greatest
state of confusion for the time being,
but the workmen had presence of
infcd enough to flte from their lives,
It is a miracle that some of them
were not killed, so complete was the
demolition of the engine bouse. The
force of the explosion may be iraag
ined when the large iron boiler was
moved from its base and twisted
around some four or fire feet from its
proper place.
Mr. Nathan Wimberly, the engi
neer and fireman, thought bruised on
the leg and boldly scaled, seized
Jasper, a little son Mr. Sid Christian,
who was in the engiue boose at the
iime, and rushed out with him thus
aving him from danger. The lad
was not burnt
TBI wooded.
As we have said Mr Nathan Wim
berly, the engineer and fireman, was
scalded and brused on the leg.
Mr. Lue Christian received seven
cuts about the bead and seek and
was wounded in the back by splinters,
he was also slightly scalded, and it ia
thought that he U more severely in
jored than the others.
Joe bheron was cut oa the hack of
the head, right arm braised, and was
also struck in the back.
Sid Christian received sereral cnis
in the throat though none of a seri
us character.
Wm. Coiteland was slightly wood
Jed on the left thigh and bruised
about the legs.
West Donogan, colored, was struck
m the back by flying timber and
nistained slight injuries.
Ai some m the explosion occurred
lit doctors or the town were sum
mooed and all that eould be Land at
the time went to the scene and ren
dered medical aid promptly. At this
writing we are glad to learn tbat all
of the wounded are doing well and it
is the general belief that there will be
uo serious results from the wounds.
The loss to the Company will

dent informed a Reoobdek reported
tbis morning that work would be sas
oenld fur at least ten days until
thing e uld be straightened up and a
oe toiler and engine put in position.
It is thought that the explosion oc
curred ffntn low water io the boiler.

' Last Saturday Mr. McFarly, who
lives beyond Flat River, was crossing
the river with a boy by the name of
Watson, aged ten' years. The river
