J we nave mumauons irum scvciai gentlemen in the county that they are anxious to invest in a cotton factory to be pat up at this place at once. The more the subject is discussed the livelier the interest in it becomes. The agitation is taking definite shape and we believe that the factory will be built The editor of the Berkeley Gazette says some spiteful things about the "State papers" that it claims have been stealing ideas out of the columns of his paper. Tne editor of the Gazette ought to feel proud that there is anything in his paper worth stealing.

An enterprising newspaper correspondent says that Gail Hamilton is the author, and there is some evidence to support this theory. Gail 13 a marcsgcabie "maiden lady" *sd air. Bayard a handsome widower. "The course of true love never runs smoothe." Senator Sherman says in an interview?speaking for himself and Tecum?eh?that "when the Shermans make a mistake they are willing to acknowledge the corn." The New York World observes that they must have a considerable crop of corn acknowl-, edged by this time. "We don't'know anything about the quantity that they have called in, but we are reminded of a lew grains in the matter of burning (jommDia luai mey nave never yet claimed. Perhaps they have escaped Tecumseh's memory. * -OO-O?OO The towns of Winnsboro and Marion are each trying to organize a company to erect a cotton factory. % v The question is how, which town contains the more enterprise and will prove it by its works??News and Courier. IJow say yon, Winnsboro? Are you guilty of the offense (?) whereof you stand charged, or not guilty? We want no motions for "a contiuu* ance," no dilatory pleading, or anything of that sort. You must just simply put up or shut up. The case has been set down fo_* trial. r - We do not believe that there is or has been anything the matter with Blaine. Pablic men, especially those who are or think they are making for * the White House, have found ont that, v it is a very convenient dodge to take sick now and then. It used to be a splendid way to feel the public pulse, and even no?v it brings the patient more or le**. notoriety. But the trick ' has been tried on these people of the -' stand it The Plumed Knight ought to be genius enough to get up something new. The following opinion concerning the suspension of vital provisions of inter-State commerce law is none the less sound because it comes from Jay Gould. He says: I think that the law should have had a thorough test before suspending- any of its features. It would have been more satisfactory to the public to have first demonstrated lhat that feature - should be suspended than to suppose it wonld, and to suspend on a supposition. The power to. suspend a law, by v those charged with its execution, is rather extraordinary from any point of view, and the judgment of Gould will ultimately meet the approval of the whole country. - The interests and places that have been unduly developed by the unjust discriminations in freight rates naturally oppose the enforcement of the most reasonable, just and essential . - provision of the inter-State commerce law. . "When rates are fairly made in consonance with the letter and spirit of the law it will be found that the exaggerated oDjectioas to it will not be as serious as interested parties make them to appear. ' Let the law - be liberally aud beneficially construed, and it will soon prove a blessing to the people of many sections that are now suffering from a stagnation of their industries. This system, of robbing "certain classes and sections to enrich others must be abolished in railroading as well as in reference to governmental taxation. >. 'Fee unpitying construction which the inter-State commerce law has received brings perhaps the most heartrending groans from the theatrical managers. Unlike wailing deadheadism, however, tbey are fairly entitled to the sympathy. of the public. The law works a serious hardship to their business. It wiil compel the weaker organizations to wind up altogether and the strong ones to lessen their attractions. It is said that Mrs. Langtry will not be able to carry with her the stage fittings and scenery of her plays. The National Opera Company has been completely stranded, and other managers are arranging to depend on the local theatres for utilities, scenery and other properties. Emigration to Canada seems to be about the only thing left for these unfortunates to do. The disgraceful scene that took place ; in the New York Senate a few days < ago was a very sad commentary on i the intellectual weight of that body. : If the fool-killer should happen along : there any time soon we are very much ; axraia mac a quorum would not be < left for the transaction of business. ' But the really melancholy thought that it suggests is that such rows have < become of late so common in legisla- < tive assemblies. The Britislf Parlia- i mcbt, the American Congress and our I State Legislatures have all been vieing 1 with each other for some time in their i efforts to overthrow all regard for i decency. It is very much to be re- J gretted on account of the effect that j it may have on the rising'generation. It "will be only too easy for the ambitious youth to fall into the mistake of supposing that anything that happens in such august assemblies is ipso facto respectable. We insist, therefore, that the time has come, when a candidate comes out for legislative honors, for the good citizen to ask himself the question?has his raising been such as to furnish any guaranty, that he will be able to behave himself in public. Wiiai a Cotton Factory in To~.vn will Mi o. It will bring several hundred people more here to live. These will have to have houses to live in, clothes to wear and provisions to eat. Heal estate will advance in price. There will be an increased demand for dry goods, and groceries, and there will be more of them sold. It will make the town a better beef market and a better market for many other products too numerous to mention. It will keep thousands ot dollars here which have heretofore been scut to the North. It will stimulate every existing industry, and cause other enterprises to be projected. It will diversify our industries, and tend to restore the confi clence of the people in ^the ultimate j possibilities of the country: It 7vW~cause an influx of foreign capital and do many other things too numerous to ? mention. Let us try one. A Successful Enterprise. The stockholders of the Sumter Cotton Mills held a meeting April 1, and refunded fifteen thousand dollars of the bounds of the old Bellernonte Cotton Factory, which were issued five years ago, by issuing new bonds for that amount. During his recent visit Xorth, President Winn purchased new machinery to the amount.of eleven thousand dollars. This machinery I will arrive in a few days and ^ill be put into immediate operation, thereby greatly increasing the capacity of the mills. If a cotton miii .can be made a success in Sumter, as this has been, why cannot other enterprises be made to pay here as well as elsewhere? We see no reason in the world why not. The question of home manufactures is one of the greatest importance to our people at large, but they have never seemed to realize its importance. Why would not a wood working factory to turn out doors, sash, blinds, balusters, rails, mouldings, scrolls and fancy wood work generally, pay here in this county as well as Charleston, Columbia or Wilmington? "Wehave an abundance of cheap material right at hand, and all the -other conditions necessary for the success of such an enterprise are as favorable here as anywhere we know of. We believe such j an enterprise would pay Here it properly conducted. The money earned at home should be kept at home to circulate at home as much as possible. This is the road to progress and prosperity, is sent away frtfm home, and so long as this continues we may expect to be poor. Who will set the ball in motion? Let her roll.?Samper Advance. The I/abor Party. The editor of the New York Tribune has a very well developed faculty for saying smart things, but in matters that require an exercise of sound judgment nobody has much confidencc in the Tribune. It would now make believe that the independent political action of the labor, party "is essentially a movement toward the Republican camp," a protest as it were, "against the long continued refusal of the Democratic party to care for the interocf n-f A moviAon Wi Vi iliUKJI. j>. tixo in other words, that the labor vote is a protectionist vote. But the merest tyro in?politics will be in no danger of being taken in by such transparent pretensions. The idea of a body of protectionists following the lead of a rampant free trauer like Henry George! It may presen t nothing incongruous to the organ of the "Party of Ideas," but to most people it will, seem somewhat strange. The rise of the labor party may open a new field for political speculation. It may mark an epoch in the history of American politics, but it lias about as mnoh [to do with protection, as such, as the moon has to do with the weather.' Another mistake commonly made is that of supposing that the labor party is made up entirely of those who are devoted to manual labor. It has drawn to its ranks many bright young men from all the professions. Among ; its adherents are numbered clergymen, ' physicians and journalists, as well as , day laborers. They are all zealous < and imagine at least that thev have 1 * l substantial grievances. The Demo< cratic party cannot afford to disregard ^ this labor movement. A married IVoma?*a> 3Iortsjase. ' J We tare nothing to say against "Judge Made Law," because we be- t lieve it to be the best law that we t have. It was not the Legislature that i unfettered commerce and gave liberty t to the "canvass-winged birds of the <; ocean." It was not the Legislature ^ that brought order out of confusion. c It was not the Legislature that snatched j from the grasp of the tyrant the in- i alienable rights of man. From.the s earliest period of our history this has f been the work of bold and fearless ^ Judges. r But it is an unauthorized function, e and the exercise of it for this reason ^ often brings down much censure on 1 W | the head of the offender. It is, there- i fore, nothing more than the part Qf 2 simple justice to discriminate between s judicial legislation and the mere efforts v of the Judges to disentangle the bung- o ling work of the Legislatures. We feel called upon to insist on this I iistinction just now, because the re- a ;ent decision of the Supreme Court i: involving the right of a married woman I :o mortgage her separate property may t; je misinterpreted by those who will d aot read the decision. The mistake is c ill the more likely to be made, because taaaecgagasigaeanirrer., - 'm ' i?wu.i the law has heretofore been understood to be the very opposite of the rule as now laid down b\* the Court. Lawyers of. ability have advised their clients that married women have an unqualified right to mortgage their property. The Supreme Court decides that they have the right to mortgage only to secure a debt contracted for the benefit of the separate estate, and thus vested rights will no doubt be much, disturbed. But in rendering the decision the Court has simply declared the law a; it has been made by the Legislature. The Act of 1870 passed pursuant to Section 14, Article 8, of the Constitution, gave married women the right to conduct without any limitation what ever. All was thus penectiy piain and perfectly righteous. But the codifiers of the General Statutes of 18S2, prompted by their great wisdom, had to interpolate into Section 2037 of the Act which gives the right to contract the words "as to her separate estate." The Court now simply de ciares aside from questions of policy another one of the effects of this amendment, and if vested interests have been unsettled the Legislature is responsible for it. *The Zjaw* and the Railroads. The inter-State^ commerce bill, as deal of opposition. The railroads are opposed to the law, of course, and are throwing every possible object in the way of its adminstration. They have owned the country so long that they are naturally averse to giving it up. And there is also a decided opposition from the great cities, or raore propenv speaking, from the "terminal points"?those places which have enjoyed heretofore the advantages of having competing lines. And it is hard to say which deserves the greater censure, the .railroads or the "terminal points". They have a common object in the perpetuation of an iniquitous system. The former desire to continue indefinitely to plunder the people, and the latter encourage and support them in the enterprise, since they are allowed to participate indirectly in the profits of the plunder. Xow the object of the law, in brief, is simply to compcl the railroads to be just to all classes of people and to ail sections of the country; and this principle will ultimately be carried out and maintained. There is no reason why the railroads should be allowed to haul goods from Charlotte to Columbia for less than they charge to haul the same goods from Charlotte to Winnsboro over Ihe same road; or as the law puts it, c'to charge more for a shorter than for a longer haul." And yet this is just what they want to do, or rather to continue to do. i\or is it matter for surprise that the "terminal points" should insist upon the right of the railroads so to continue. Human nature is about the same in all ages. The supporters of the corn l??ws stood out against their appeal, although thousands of their countrymen were - ^ - r, l direct^? appealed to, is always capable of obscuring the moral vision of- oi'dinary men. When, therefore, it is seen that a metropolitan paper intimates that the inter-State commerce bill is just the law that ought not to have been passed, an inquiry should be at once instituted in'.o the motive of its virtue. The sooner that the raiiroads learn that the peopje have rights which they must respect the better for^the railroads. The problem af forcing these corporations to be just is one for legislofiA'n onrl if flir* InMr-Qfnf n 1U"V") " * **" wimv wuimvivv bill does not meet the requirements of the situation it will be amended until it does. The railroads must and shali do light. Editorial Amenities. "VVe are indebted to the New York World for the following notice: A small stock-jobbing newspaper published in the interest of "Wall street "strikes" pretends to finer something inconsistent in the World's gratification at the building of llew railroad lines at the South, and its opposition to the railroad wreckers, stock waterers, lobby keepers and public plunderers who have handled other corporations in a manner adverse to the people's interests. The new roads builaingat the South are not, as a rule, we are pleased to know, wild-cat ventures. They are ness growing*out of the rapid development of the wonderful natural resources of that section. But if the owners of any of them shall undertake lo control politics, to divert government from public to private ends, and to debauch the people's representative, ' the World will denounce them as it bas other corporate freebooters. And right* here it may be well to ; remark that the Pacific Railroad inquiry commission has just organized ; to prosecute the investigation ordered , by Congress as a result of the World's . iisclosures. We, in common with the ; public, shall watch its proceedings [ svith interest. If it docs not find for i tself facts that justify its existence : :he World may feel called upon to ! supply it with some more. It is only a waste of time to instruct \ he World in the requirements ; lecent journalism. The World prides ' tself on its indecency, and advertises , he fact in order to catcb the pennies ( >f the ignorant and vicious. That is 1 vhy the World attacks the Daily In- ( licator in a sneaking wav, suppress- j ug the name of the paper with which 1 t enters into a controversy, and re- < orts to gratuitous falsehoods as a de- | ense of its own mendacity.

The views entertained by the Sun about the silver dollar, about the protective tariff, about civil service reform and about the President are unlike our own views, and we commonly take great pleasure in even'.?, tendencies, movements and triumphs which cause the Sun acute suffering.

But we think we know bow to put aside more differences of opinion with an esteemed neighbor, who after all, is human, like the rest of us ?and if we diagnose correctly the emotion which agitates us as we write we are capable of feeling a just resentment toward a wretch who would covertly enter that neighbor's esteemed columns and revile him with his own type. This atrocious violation of the laws of decency and hospitality was committed in a recent issue of the Ever nin<j Sun, which gave a prominent place upon its editorial page to tne following verses: GOOD ADVICE TO ADVERTISERS, Dc-lighted are they who at endoj the day, Are blessed with the EoenirSg Sun, Sun, Sun, * No paper on earth can equal its worthy And yet it is only begun, gun, gun.

The first letters of the lines, reading from the top downward, makes up the words, "Dana is a fraud," a proposition which is not only insulting, but untrre. And the indignation moants higher as we reflect en the artfulness with which this diabolical villain did bis work.. We have no doubt that lie is an outside contributor, but he knew the weak points of his victim. His manuscript appealed at once to Mr. Dana's love of poetry ond to his yearning for advertisements. He knew that after a day of weary gnawing- at the Mugwump file Mr. Dana turns to poetry for rpfrr^hmonf Vg fjift hftrfr.. tjQ thfiwaferbrooks. He had scanned aiso the lean advertising columns of the Evening Sun. And he used his knowledge to oid his detestable purpose. His caitiff versos he composed with a skill which made certain their occeptance and publication. They were not too good?in fact, they were bad, very bad. But their imperfections benefitted their commercial purpose and averted the eye of suspicion. ic was a contemptible and cowardly way of getting around a poetry-loving and thrifty old gentleman. And it was an affront to a newspaper editor which the press everywhere ought to denounce in the severest terms. Believing this to be the duty of the press, .we hereby denounce this knave and his work, and extend to our neighbor Mr. Dana our lively sympapathy, and the assurance of our disbelief in the libelous statement which he has unwittingly published against himself.?JV. Y. Times. LETTER FROM NOSTH CAROLINA. 31essrs. Editors: This community was favored with a lecture on- Thursday night last by Mrs. Bound, (formerly Miss Painter,) on Intemperance. The spacious hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. Soon Mrs. Round ! came in, and her manner, waik and dress stamped her as a Quaker. She read some scripture bearing on intern- i perance, and made some commooplace ! introductory remarks before begin . ning her speech. She then came 1 down to the point, and taking the place of "little David," began to throw i stones at the "mighty Goliah." She spoke with but little gesturing, but with wonderful facial expression, : making it possible to see in her face what you hear from her lips, and to hear from her lips what you see in her face. Her voice though clear and 3trong; is lacking in that inflective power which always pleases the ear. She arraigned her discourse systematically and linked it together in a most pleasing manner, holding her audience spell-bound, not by a brilliant oratorital power, but by a simple, earnest and feeling sddress, together with strong logical reasoning. ^ ' Mrs. Round is a middle aged woman svith no marked personal attractions except an expressive pair of eyes, over svhich tower a massive forehead without the "bang" appendage. She is of ( nedium height with rather petite Sgare. While here she organized a \Voman's Christian Temperance Union o co-operate with the W. C. T. TJ. 5he also represented the White Cross Society.

Are there not other facts in the lives of those men which would be just as well to mention? Did they not make efforts to pay tbeir just debts? Did they not help, as they were able, some war-made widows and orphans? Did they not help to reconstruct and build up the country that had been scattered and felled by the war? (Laurens Advertiser.) A journal published in Philadelphia called Enter-prise gives the following information: "B. W. Ball, J. W. Fergason, H. Y. Simpson and N. B.

(Barnwell Sentinel) If we had a few of these canning factories run on strictly business principles they would find the demand at home sufficiently large to make the profits satisfactory, and besides it would have a tendency to increase truck farming and fruit growing where now little care is bestowed in tms direction, av an means let uie factories go up. Under the proper management they will receive a heavy home patronage, and keep the bulk of big money annually spent for canned vegetables and fruits at home.. {Albeb&le Messenger.
