The Q^N^He erk was al-o in our vehiolc and bejlmrausiua buggy came a Warden and a broker. We had a jolly crowd and a good day, for it was just cloudy enough to obscure the broiling August sun. We drove out of town about eight o'ebek. a little behind our calculations f?r we lud intended go'ting off by half past seven, so as to avoid the heat of the noon-day. Our ho-ses slick with health and glorious in the:r strength champed their hits and seemed to be in a gala as they prance I out of town. We had no* gone far however, when it was noticed that something teemed to be nuuoyiog the horses, something beyond the mere heat. One of our party decided that it was the check retns and insisted on having them removed altogether from the hriddles ; a very hunice to 7. 'ggestioa, for wh^ -[ .Him t jhort drive in town, it is not very kind to the horse; hut to rein it up for a long drivo on a hot day with a load is simply cruel ; though we feel lite sure that the person who "checked" our horses never intended to be cruel to them. After the reins were removed the hor-cs were more comfortable. Work and dry weather has put the roads in excellent condition and wejmadc good time in spite of the hilly section over which we had to pass. The cotton along the way showed up a 1 tnirably but when we looked for fruit we discovered that it wis really not so good as it at first appeared though it seems to us right much above the averags at this time of the year. The corn looked well and there is plenty of it. Peas, sorghum and other crops were (inc. We were very glad to sec that the farmers ha I put in so much that ' >" be utilized at home, so much to cat? that is aloug the line on which we Southern folks have got to work out our own salvation . Long before we got to Hie Shoals we could hear the water p mriug over and dashing against the rugged rocks, like the noise of Irees swayed by the wind. doing down a steep hill covered with a lense forest we came suddenly on the river ilniost before we knew it, and right there ilmost at our feet was the water dashing lowu the rocky river bed, while to our < iglit there extended a broad level plane on vhich, we could see that there were many iien at work some at one place and sirae at mother, all working towards one end, ho vvcr, as we learnel afterward, viz : towards | he erection ofalirgo Citton Factory, whose j intinishcd walls we could sec rising above 1 he plane.

Six negro men wit la wet clothes were taking )ut the huge pieces, any one of which satura:e 1 with water as they were, wai a match for ill six of the men. The sills were put up in piles to dry, 11 he afterwards hauled ihwo and used in the construction of the factory. Then wc went down to where the Factory is betug built. l'erhaps a btiof account of the Mills would not be uninteresting. The property consists of about six hundred acres of land formerly owned by J. C. and (.'. L>. Farrar, adjoining the lliver, thereby giving control of one half of tlie stream. The property also embraces a small tract of land on the opposite side of the River and jAust the proper place above the Shoals to ^Aniliini if desired. We learned that ipiffuu 'ny ariilicial dam is constructed, au ltKl pi full of over thirty one feet. It has been pronounce I by competent Engineers the finest undeveloped water power in the State of South Carolina. About the year His the Sato spent a large amount of money in <:instructing a canal around this fall, but in 1X45J it was abandoned and the rights of the State in the entire property have been transferred to the present owners. The dressed stone used by the State many years ago in coiiMructiog the locks is now being taken out aud used on the Factory. What a history of progress accompanies those stones from the locks to the Factory ! Mow different the thoughts, the hopes, the ambitions of the men who dressed them from those who arc now placing them ! l'lans have been made for the development of one thousand horse power and the erection of a k'o.otH) Spindle Mill, and the work is now being prosecuted under the managomcnt of Mr J.

The power will be developed by means of a caiml from which (lie water will be taken to two pairs of turbines, by Humes eight feet in diameter. This will gite the rc'itiisite horse-power. 'Ihe main Factory t uilding will be feet, and will be I aud "? stories high.

Tno rice crops were almost to tally destroyed; the Sea Island cotton croj was nearly all lost and the turpentine forests were blown down for miles, and the river phosphate mining c?mprnics so badly damaged that they ould not operate for more than half the year. Tho dispensary liquor law, drove a great deal of capital from tho city and destroyed a hitherto lucrative business. The storms in the State last year and the general depression throughout the country, also affected the trade of the city, but in spite of all these calamities and drawbacks, the trade of Charleston shows a falling off of only about three and a half million dollars as compared with the preceding year. The aggregate value of the business of the city is more than seventy-one million dollavs. This, under the circumstances, is a splendid showing. The prospects for the new year are full of cucouragement. The completion of the jetties makes Charleston ot.c of the finest deep water ports in the world, and insures to this city a great increase in its foreign trade. Ships drawing twenty-three feet of water can nowcross the hir wi'li safety, The government work on the jetties has been most succecsful, and Capt. F. V. Abbott, the engineer iti charge, says that there is every reason to anticipate that the full depth of twenty-six feet contemplated by the project, umII 1,? i ..... ........j<_ .. ..nit n-,^3 expenditure man (ho amount of (l>e estimate. During the year lie aaya, 1,07'.',000 cubic yards of material have ilisippcarcd from between (lie jetties and the areas about iheir landward and seaward ends. This gain in waterway, or decrease of obstructing material, he adds "equals the whole amount that was gained from 1881 to 1893." The completion of the jetties will lead in the near future to the establishment of direct steamship liucs to Europe and to the improvement ot the terminal facilities of the port already the finest on the South Allantic coast.

The same resolutions have also led to more attention being paid to the raising of hogs and other live stock. If we are to accept the concurrent testimony of so many persons in so many varied localities, South Carolina was never so well prepared to supply its own hog and hominy as it is today. In some parts of tho State, people are raising their horses and mules and ca'tle, and supplying themselves with beef, butter and milk.
