Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to thc contrary arc con-1 sidcred as wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers wish their paper discontinued publishers ma}' continue ! to send them until all charges are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the oliiccs br places to which thc}' arc sent, they are held responsible until they settle their bill and' give notice to discon tinu? thcrry.' 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing tho publish er, and the paper is sent to the for mer direction, they arc held respon sible. ?otice should always bc given of removaL I The Courts have decided that refusing So take a paper or periodical from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is prima facie ^^atidenct! in tent.ional fr rid,_ J Dangerous Monopolies. ?t is importan* .ir Login!a t?tft Should be iii Vie'interests of thc people rather thaii to augment the power of growing mid arbitrary cor porations that aro seeking, with too much success to govern the country. It is becoming a serious queel Who owns this nation ? We are stiH fticlrnec?to think the fee simple is in the people, and that they have vested* right in their President, Con gress, Governors and Lcgislatu but every now and then something turns up to render this theory doubt ful. We find, for instance, that Undo Samuel must not run telegraph wiicj over his estate, because the Westci n Union will not hear of such a thing. He must also give up carrying small parcels for his nephews and nieces in j the mail bags, because Adams Ex g*ese prefers to do that business and charge (oh,-those express charges!) for it if oiii" venerable relative were vj4p\o propose to rcceiye for safe-keeping thc savings of the people at his post ora'ces', us ??one" irr those slow-going regions -culicc 3ritnin and Canada, we presume all the savings banks, and especrairy the broken ones, would loudly prohibit him from doing any thing so sensible and beneficial. One Dromio lamented that lie no longer belonged to himself, after mar rying a fat cook, and it is to bc feared that this great Republic, after foster ing these great companies, no longer belongs to itself. These corporations can pay largely for special legislation, and by their monied Inffticnoe they are corrupting legislation, and depriving thc people of their dearest rights. As soon as the people elect their own represcntntives-?-sclceting men who cannot be bought-they will have very desirable reforms and improve ments, but the longer the struggle with wealthy corporations is deferred tho more doubtful will the result be come. REI'KAL ov IHK 41 OVPICIAL NEWS PAPER" LAW. The law of b870, reg ulating the publication of legal no ticos, is repealed, and there is no such thing to-day as an " official newspa -l>cr" ia South Carolina- Any person who hus an advertisement of any kind to publish can publish it where ho pleases. This applies to all notices by ?State and county ofllcers, and to every notice whatsoever required by law to bo made public. This gives ali papers an equal chance as fal* as advertising legal notices are con cerned! Co'.ton Factories in the South. Wo arc glad to notice that much attention is being paul to tba subject bf manufacturing thc colton grown so abundantly in thc South in the very sections where it is produced. With thc present price ot labor, and other facilities now enjoyed, manufacturing herc may readily bc made a grand success. That it can bc done to ad vantage, has already been clearly demonstrated. Wo need only thc business energy and capital lo operate on ibis linc in this immediate vicinity to make Orangeburg one ol' thc most prosperous-counties in the Slate. Wi have long been growing thc cotton, but neglecting to usc rare facilities tc manufacture it within our own reach Wc cannot alford to pay others lo dc. this business for us in connectioti willi such heavy hills for transporta tion. An exchange says : tk Great changes are likely ere long lo take place in the sites of cotton manufacture. Facto:ins in our col ton-growing Slates are paying excel lent dividends, and as soon as theil poor distracted people can insure freedom, peace and safety, ma nu fae turing capital and enterprise wi! doubtless How into them with : strong lido. The same change i: also taking place, bul on a thucl greater scale, in British India, where the profits on coll?n factories ari very high. " The fast result of manufacturing cotton in the countries where it grow: will bc to cut oil' thc demand of thosi countries from thc present manufuc tiners, and thc next will be to com pete with them in thc markets of th? world."

Take this extract from-a-recent missionary report as an ? example: The missionary says; ? Rum's doingS'givc direction to not a ' little of oui* i'ubor.- ?* man whom* ? I' had set down as a lazy fraud, and' lo 1 whom T had' given the cold shoulder, one day informed me of a sick woman whom bc wished I-would call and see, giving nie particular caution not to make my errand known to any one I should meet in the house; to make 1 no inquiry at thc door, lest her hus band should prevent my seeing her. I was told in what room thc sick woman was lying, and that I should go into thc room without waiting for a summons. Taking my wife with mc I went according to thc directions given mc. I found the house quite respectable in appearance, and opened tho front door, without knocking, and walked in, ami though I saw the hus band (as 1 rigidly supposed').' at work in thc rear yard ; at once, without addressing him, 1 proceeded to thc second-floor room indicated' to inc, and entered. A very dirty, disor dered, rubbishy room received mc and my wife. A strange mixture ol ; misery and comfort was apparent. A woman, young and dying, alone and J neglected, was lying on what had ! beeb a very nice hair clotli sofa, un- i der tho front window, an old, worn gray army blanket 1 brown overlier, and lier bead resting uncomfortably on a dirty and patched feather pillow. A smutty, broken lamp was burning upon a large marble-top center-table, just at her head. There was not a decent chair in thu room, but tlie walla were bung with au array of portraits and pictures in oil, with gilt frames ; also a pier mirror. There was no carpet on the floor, winch looked- as though it liad not been swept in six months ; while heaps of dilapidated odds and ends were scat tered about. Altogether, tho stale of this dying woman Wt? us d V- p?VrrwOit?- wa cOuti' . well' lib iniagi,?eil, or found in lite most wretched tcneVneit-i; ita the city ; and all this tue work ot rum. Her husband, who owns thc house in which be lives and several others, had totally neglected bis wife, anxious that she should die as soon as possi ble. Though so young, perhaps twenty-six* years obi,-she had become i confirmed inebriate, with no pur p -ii ? buL io indulge her appetite for str mg drink, utterly neglecting home and family, tier children were left lo run about in i'aga, a?d were found upon thc stieels ii the icpth ; winter with no shoes on their lcd. Thc poor, infatuated woman La.i been in thc habit of taking the furniture, bedding, and wearing apparel to thc pawn-shop to get money for thc pur chase of liquor. When I afterward went to the husband to inquire about his treatment of his wife, bc showed mc in ids shop a bolster almost emp tied of feathers.- which she had taken out to sell for rum ; and, to save thc carpet from the same disposition, he had taken it off the floor of her room. To the poor, miserable wreck of a woman I spoke of thc compassion of Jesus, but could get no response. Af terward she was taken to thc hospital, ind everything was done that could (ie done under thc circumstances, but io thc last the poor woman felt she vas so far off-too far od' from Jesus -she could not reach out to Him. Tho city missionaries are laboiing constantly, not only for the reforma tion and elevation of Hie intemperate, but also lo prevent the formation of those evil habits which lead the way !o drunkenness and dissipation. Last year they received twelve hundred .?md fifty-live temperance pledges, and 'hey enjoy thc satisfaction of seeing much fruit of their arduous toil.-Na tional 'Temperance Advocate. LABOR. Labor-honest labor-is mighty and beautiful. Activity ia tho ruling element of life, and its highest relish. Luxuries and con quests are the results of labor ; we can imagine nothing without it. Thc noblest man of earth is he who puts hands cheerfully and proudly to hon est labor. Labor is a business and ordinance of God. Suspend labor, and where arc thc glory aud pomp of ?iirth-Ibo fruit, fields and pnlaoes, md the fashioning of mutter for vhich men strive and war? Let thc abor-seorner Jook to himself, and ( earn what are thc trophies. From he crown of ids head to- the sole of ns foot, he is-the debtor and! slave of ?oil; The labor which he scorns lum .ricked him into the stature and ap >earance of n man. Where gets he garmenting and equipage? Let labor ! mswer. Labor-which makes music c n the mines, and the furrow, and the forge-oh, scorn not labor,you, man, who never yet earned a- morsel of bread ! Labor pifies you, proud fool, ?ind laughs*you to-seorn.- You shall l>ass to- dhst, forgotten ; but labor will live on forever, glorious in its 3onquests and monuments. Remedy for Hard Time?, The remedy recommended by a cor respondent of the Witness is: 1. To increase production by putting every acre possible under good cultivation. 2. To turn much attention to fruit growing, packing, shipping, etc., in the best style. 3. Fanners should, as far as practicable, raise what they need for family use on their own farms, and give up depending on specialties. 41. Strict but not nig- i gavdly economy should be practiced, and- all supci Uuitics cut oil, especially intoxicating drinks and tobacco. 5. The laboring classes should' have nothing to do with unions, clubs, so cieties or strikes to keep up wages, which do not and will not succeed. The above prescription followed for a year would assuredly rehabilitate all the wholesome ro.terest-3 of the country, and give us an almost un- ' paralleled prosperity. We would only add, let our sister States iu thc South become happy families, and their present d?solations will blossom as the rose. nimwiw'L-JkrirTrcTTrwt-.-. . : - s v.. i II II HMM I "ADVERT? S ??
