II " * c- lie Seems to Think S'aetories are to e be Ruilt by Taxation?Eie OU'erc Some Wise SiiKiteslions on the <|(iestion or interest. '' Editor Press un<l It<i/iiier ; limit boom of husis is j?rev:iiIiiijc through'' out the county as to factory enterprises. Kv? " cry town or hamlet seems t<> be competing id juivlng birili to faetoiy or railroad project*. p | There seems to l?e a wonderful propensity 11! in human nature emerging simultaneous!} to ? I give velocity lo the wheels of tliu"earof pro' ^re>s." Abbeville village, Greenwood and Due West arc conspicuously observed in making etforis to establish a factory in their res' spective limits. I understand also a site lias been purchased on the Saluda River for that purpose. I hear it intimated that the thriv'f ing town (Houca Path) in an adjacent county, is meditating seriously on a similar question. ' Perhaps others are in embryo in our midst. e All ot which, are within a radius, less than I twenty miles. J presume inu a.\ium umnII the merrier" would be relevant. \ If means were available the comity would 5 soon become overstocked with factories. Farl' mers will have to increase the area in cotton culture when they get in running order, to '' Keep them agoing. I think, one or two of * Vauderbllt, Hotiisciiild or Jay Gould's pecu' uiary resources would be required to equip '* the contemplated Institutions in a lirst class st> le. 01 course no other kind would likely prove to be remunerative to stockholder or henetlcial to tiieeomiuunity. Astonishingly, y what a sensation has been produced by the . slight perceptible improvement of this year's s crop. It seems ambition has been in a latent condition, pent up, and hailed the opportuI nity of making a "big display."' t The spirit that has gave rise to such uplieavi al of aspiration is praisewoithy. Tlx- excite-j . mentis too sudden and great to be durable. I'll venture to assert an overplus of the proceeds of agricultural products of this year have not been realized by the farmers to liquidate "old score*" by one-half that have been accumulating for the last four or live years and a liviug chance to remain foran! other year. I have no desire to present any 1 obstacle to the public that I conceive will op; erate against carrying out such schemes. J 1 wish all towns a full measure of success. But 1 this one fact, (dearth of surplus cash) Is so ' glaring and obvious that it should not heed1 iessly be overlooked. Such a public calamity 1 could not he averted. A few good crop years 1 are the only means to remedy the existing evil. I am not opposing factories solely on the ground of merit. I admit some public good will accrue from them. , I claim, providentially, to a great extent, j the farmers as a generality arc in a straiten condition and can't take stock and cancel old " debts ami "ante up" to Justify the nndcrtak1 ing. Farmers are "few and tar between" that , can Invest largely and show a clean record ol li iiibuk tlinii?:iiid.K iinnn tlion s.imis to build first class factories. Capitalists arc tbe ones t > build them and farmers to I patrouize them, if they are encouruned to do so. Experience has taught me that a better I price for cotton at. a factory is 110 incentive. Cotton buyers for the North or England will . equally give as much or more and pay the | freight, commissions, and instance charges besides. I have heard of a cotton resident factor stationed under the sound of spindles buying for Northern factories and at times giving a better price than the factory buyer. I admit when cotton is delivered at the door 1 of a factory there is more margin for a better price, but sell-iutcrest prompts to get it cheap .is possible and it governs itsell like all coi ton buyers according to the Liverpool marI ket. I have heard the idea advanced, the lock in a factory is a paying Investment. Perhaps, it will pay hand>otne!y after a dci cade of years or perhaps a little earlier. 1 imagine under the most prosperous condition . >f ? new factory, you cannot expect much short of ten yen is, a declared dividend. The law allows a much better investment for your surplus cash in legalizing ten per cent, interest. Loan Si.oWand in ten years it ?vill make ;1,'!09. I think that ten pcrccnt. is one of the greatest existing batriers thatob 1 struct.s the money investment in public enterprises. It appears to me, the farmer.1 movement or more appropriately, nlllancc, that are to convene at Columbia on 1st De' ecmbrr instant, could not aim at a greater blessing to tbe mass of the people of tbe ' stnte, tlian to memorialize me legislative - body In session to remove the legality ol'ten per cent, and frame a law In such way as to exclude every possible chance for a money tendtr to exact any more than the old le^al I seven per cent. That, is miani sufflr.it. My sentiments as to public enterprises may I be summed up in a nutshell. As follows, pay just and honest debts, before any other consideration; net even with the world and If, a surplus cash should abound sulliciently to 1 make one feel independent or the ruinous "time prices" then, let him utilize itforrail: road or factory purposes, provided the ten percent. Is null and void, unless, lie chooses . to make a personal sacrifice for the public . benefit. The factory advocates in and around j Due West seem to be very sanguine of achiev' in? success. The president has been elected and site selected. Their movements Indicate , that a cotton factory will soon be in operation [ In our midst without a doubt. They seem to ' be acting as though a special donation has " been made suillciently for the purpose and they knew exactly where to put their hands , on it. Succss to the enterprise. : I would suggest the most feasible and pos<dI bio plan would be for all factory parties ol the county to to nblne their available means at a ; central point near a railroad and build a fue. tory that will relleet honor upon the county: Hid one, that she can boast of with pride. Let ?250,000 be the minimum amount of capij ' tal to commence witli. My humble opinion I ' is, Mr. Editor, the public welfare resulls from ! 1 Tf Ih/i 11.111 make every effort to ilvc at home, and guard against, as much as possible, incurring debts on "time prices" and not buy land with the I expectation of paying tor it with borrowed ! money at ten per cent, and not try to live outside of their Income and not try to keep pace with fickle fashion, (goddess that rules the ' world in a measure) unless they are able to 1 "foot the bill" and not to indulge in luxuries and non-essentials of life until they acquire - a competency to enable them to enjoy them I with a good conscience, I'll venture to assert hard times will be numbered with the past , and public prospects will abound more pien. tlfully as a consequence. 0.

My brother Lewis and I were sitting In his 34 house figuring when Henry Tate came up and asked Lewis out. .Said Lewis was a liar. Lewis told him to leave the yard, and , wentout to him. Henry put his hand behind him and Lewis cut him with a knife. Henry U11 was about three steps from the door when cut. " I did not see a knife or hammer about Henry a ' Tate. Lewis did not say anything to Henry except to get out of his yard. Henry told my brother that he (Lewis) had told the boss he ifl (Henry) was not going with the machinery any more. Lewis tola him he had not told of the boss any such thing. Henry then gave .. him the lie. He paid this when he first 01 came up. I do not know who owns the hammer found near the body. Henry when cut turned away and said he was going to report 31) him. My brother pulled his knife out and . opened It before he left the house. Henry did DC not go far before he fell. I did not go close p enough to see how be fell?whether on his 3C face or not. Dt John Calhoun, sworn, says: _ Henry Tate went to Lewis Terry's house LU this afternoon about 5 o'clock and asked him out of his house. Said he wanted to see him a minute. I was in Lewis' yard at the time. C< I diet not see.anything In the hands of Henry Tate. I saw Lewis draw his knlfea*hewas coming out of the house. Henry told him (Lewis) that he had told the bo?8 (B. Berry AJlen) he Henry was not going back to the to machinery any more. Lewis denied It and R He'nrv called hlin a liar. I.pwIr did not draw the knife until be was called a liar. Q( Henry did not-nttempt to strike or cut Lewis. He ran his hand Into his side pants pocket se when Lewis stabbed him. Lewis approached Henry when he came out of the house. He (Heury) went about twenty or thirty steps af- (.f ter being cut before he fell. I went up to him and saw a hammer lying by his side. I did fei not see any one else go aoout him. When Henry called Lewis a ]iar Lewis said "do not give me the He." If the hammer had a, been In Henry's pocket I could have seen It. I do not know whether Henry had a knife Id gu his pocket or not. Henry and Lewis had a . private talk In the yard before the trouble began. th Dr. A. J. Speer, sworn, says: I examined the dead body of Henry Tate tu with Dr 0. R. Horton and found a wound yA inch wide between the fourth and fifth ribs lu running obliquely about Inches deep, pen- hi etratlng to the heart, two or three Inches to the left of the sternum. In my opinion the U3 wound was sufficient to cause death. We found no other wound. Dr. 0. K. Horton*, 6worn, says: he I corroborate the testimony of Dr. A. J. Speer. Pr The Jury wan as follows : J.

The bill submitting to the people of bbevil!e county, the question of 11nseorno license passed the Houne sterday by a vote 77 for the bill to votes against it. Senator Talbert's dog license bill, ter a long speech from that Senator, issed and was sent to the House, by vote of 17 to 12. From present indications theLegisture is in no mood to fool away more the people's money on the Columa canal. The Agricultural College will be owed under so far that it will never i heard of again. The Legislators em to have found out that there is ) special need for another college to me in competition with those alady in existence. An Agricultural >!lege is an expensive joke, any ay.

The proposition to unite the offices Auditor and Treasure has been deated. A good thiDg. A measure is before the General 3 ssembly to make tax returns in Auist. This is done on behalf of the rmera, as they will have lesson hand an at any other time. The Constition requires equal taxation, and erefore the provisions and cotton on md when the returns are made, ust be taxed. Some one proposed to reduce the >mestead, and the measure was > x oraptly killed. A bill has been introduced to exopt Confederate soldiers from road ity, and an effort will be made to tablish a hospital for worn out solers. A small pension to the needy >uld be better than either. A ConJerate soldier who is able to do so, ould bear an equal burden of the >vernment, but the Government ould help the poor. This seems to fair and reasonable. At a joint session of the Senate and e House Associate Justice Samuel nfinivon was triAnimmiftlv re-elected that office. This is a fitting tribute a Judge who is the equal of any of e old time Judges. An endorseent of this kind is to be prized by e faithful officer as above price, and it there are a few persons who obit to giving the people an opportune to express their approval of him by ecting him only once and then for a e time. To receive from the people 3' 'well done, faithful servant" is an >nor more to be esteemed than the Flee itself. Here is what the Augu*~ Chronicles ays: "Associate Justice , cGowan's unanimous re-election to' e Supreme Bench is a fitting complient to one of the ablest and best en in all South Carolina. As a Genal in the Southern army he was ave and gallant, and as a jurist he equal to the great men who ocpied the bench in the good old days hen wisdom and purity were characriBtic of all who were thus honored the Palmetto State." A bill has been introduced into the nate to prevent the further consoli,tion of railroad companies, except ' permission of the General Assemy It seems to us that the members of e Legislature are disposed to work, d that they are anxious to discharge eir whole duty to the people. 3 A bill has been introduced into the ?gislature including chickens, tur- >ys, geese, and other domestic fowls the stock law.
