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

the situation it will be amended until
it does. The railroads must and shali

"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. A man '

enough to employ Theophilus French

failed. The Daily Indicator is not a
stock-jobbing newspaper, and you
know it, and that is why you called it
such. Lack of moral training and
poor breeding have made you prefer
falsehood to truth, if there is money
in the one and not in the other. Try
to build up a circulation in the South

to build it up in the slums of New

We have from time to time had differences
with our neighbor, the New
York Sun. 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. This is because in theae
things the Sun, as we^regardJkJa.
sin ful b} riattlJS^fftfTtffSSemore so by
practice. 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.
It's newsy and bright and able to fight;
So that it will never get left, left, left;
And every line will sparkle and Shine
From pencils remarkably deft, deft, deft.
Read always, you know, by a million or so,
Advertisements in it will pay, pay; pay,
Unrivaled by all, it being so small,
Distinctly each ad. will display, play, play.
This is an acrostic. 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 (

that different places in the State are
endeavoring to build cotton factories
show a healthy and strong effort to
ward improvement. The tossils who

the country, and realized that some
new track must be followed besides
the one that leads from the farm to the
store.
(Bock Hitt Herald.)
Yes, money is scarce! It is a wonder
we have any, when nearly every
pound of bacon, flour and lard is purchased
outside of the State, and so
many of our farmers feed their stock
on Western corn and Northern hay.
Yes, times are hard! But we send
to Boston for cabbage and potatoes,
and to Norfolk for turnips, and it is
no uncOttmon sight to see a^wagon
from the country going home loaded
with provisions and produce,-not a
single-pggft&of which is raised in this
State. No country or?peoplej can
truly thrive that sends abroaoi'dr such

The substance of what some newspapers
say about soldiers who have
died since the war, is th3t they were
in Regiment, commanded by Col.
, were wounded in tb^ battle of
, acted gallant.y in the fight,
etc. While it may be just to the memory
of the dead to state the part they
acted and suffered in the war, may it
not be asked, Are such statements all
or the best that can be said of our
countrymen?soldiers?who have outlived
the war? 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.
Dial have formed a company with
$500,000 capital to build a cotton factory
at Laurens, S. C." We are willing*
to go away from home to get such
encouraging news.
(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..

What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
found?Incident in the Hia*torj
of a Quiet Community*
The Mount Lebanon (New
Tori) Shakers are a quiet community,
secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, however,
for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers "believe that nature
has a remedy for every disease.
A few have been found?
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by accident
Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
Mid research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a comparatively
new disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two j
were formerly treated as sepa- !
rat? ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli- '
Ha* in the disord
red and depraved functions of
digestion and nutation. They
reasoned thus:?"If we can induce
the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excretive
organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat- <
ters which remain after the lifefiving
elements of the food
ave been absorbed, we shall
' have conquered Nervous Dyspepsia
and Nervous Exhaustion,
And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) in less complicated
thougn similar disease?,

All this terrible croup
Shaker. Extract (Seigels
Syrup) removes by its positive,
powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
fche functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their- mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life's
fire) whigh unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled" from the
body through the bowelsi, kidneys
and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,

blood As the result, health,

Could 1 do it if I did not have confidence
in the manufacturers that make these
tailor-mado garments? You shoot wide of
the mark and miss getting the best for
your money if you buy without seeing my
