Wednesday, January 11, - 1S98. WHAT ^VIIX THEY DO? Nobody should envy a member of the General Assembly. Tie people have bad a hard year, and they are feeling the heavy pressure of the hard times. Many of thetn are feeling very much discouraged; hope has almost gone from them. In this frame of mind, it is .human nature to put the ~ - blame somewhere, and ?% most convenient place to placc it for many of our misfortunes is o.n the government. The people have been living close and economical, daring the pas: two or three years, perhaps more so than at anytime since the war. Tet with it all, they, have rery little, if any, money. In this condition a few dollars added to iaxes presses sorely. Paying1 taxes is always a b-m'cn. Take the average man. He obeys the laws, his neighDors live peaceably with him; he doe* n't feel that be needs I any preteciion, except thit which he can give himself. He feels, therefore, that when be pays his taxes, that he is simply throwing away that much money. Of course, this is not altogether the right view to take of it, but at all events the average man looks at it ju?t about that wav. Paying taxe? is a necessary evil. But they are * , little higher?a most inconvenient time 1 ~ - 1 - A ?*/5 ikA 1 tOO 10 [lave iLVLll ?u. aiiu iuc uuiit;u will hold the officeholders responsible ??r~ for the increase, tfe repeat, then, that we do not envy our friend?, the member* of the General Assembly. It may be no fault of?iheirs and of the Stale administration that taxes have been 'goiDg higher and higher every year, but the average man will look at the stubborn fact that his tax receipt is for more money this year than last and for more th? preceding |year than the t ear before that. The average citizen will say: Well, if n>o mcnrm<i?rv navK sn mnch monev into the treasury and the State farms are making so much, and salaries have, in many instances, been reduced, how does it happen that taxes [go higher? . Then the General Assembly will have to do something with the liquor question. The dispensary, as admin- j istertd, has not been a success from any point of v?ew. Some of its best friend*, snch as Editor Gantt, are demanding that the system be abolished. Some of its former strong supporters are saying harder things about the dispensary than were ever said by those who opposed it in its very inciniencv. It has been a never ending cause of liiigatioD, and there is no disguising the fact that all of this has cost a great deal of money. " * ^Thekjt IS libel? that .Tnrip -? * ton's decision will be sustained. With that practically conceded, the General Assembly will have to do something. The prohibitionists too will make things very lively. They feel that they were cheated out cf their rights when the dispensary law was enacted. The General Assembly will have these to please or displease. Then many of the members will wonder what the people at home think on these subjects. Of course, tbey want to please their constituents, that is a good safe majority of the voters at home; and as the voters hare not had a chance to say what they think, the representative will simply not know what to do. The primary election! will be held next snmmer, and he most make bis record with that fact in view. The chances are that jast as little decided action as possible will be taken. It is gratifyiog to see that many of our own peopb can ke employed in the factory, and that some of onr best yonng men are willing to start at the bottom. It speaks well for Southern grit, and it shows the tendancy towards an appreciation of intelligent labor. We ?now ol no neicuuiier or i more promise tbaa mechanics and electrical engineering. An intimate acquaintance with a large number of young men who took courses at colleges in mechanics and elaetrical engineering with the view of working in machine shops, cotton factories, for electrical companies, street railways, kc., warrants us in saying that it is the field for young men who naturally hare talents in this direction. A.11 of the ttudeu:3 in ihis branch with whom we are acquainted now have profitable employment, far more lucrative than those who followed the Jold line professions such as medicine and law. With Dative Southern labor, the South can snap her Snrera at New England manufacturers. am . "Tkt, try a^rain, if at first you do notsncc-ed," is about the conclusion to wbich the cotton growers came the other day. They bare a great deal for which to be thankful; they have come nearer organizing the county than any ; ^ - - of the efforts at organization in Fairfield, recsntir. We think that there is good sense in the suggestion that they kould try again. A little more effort will bring the unorganized townships into iiue. Whether the organization will accomplish anything in Yiew #f many different opinions as to what onght to be done we do not know, bnt certainly organization is the firat step no matter what may be the uUimatt plan to remedy the low price of cotton.

If tha progress i:? cotton mill bnilding [continues in tbe same pro portion, competition will be even more severe. The cut in wages in New England will serve to emphasize the South as the place lor the manufacture of cotton goods. The figures showing the number of mills bnilt since 1894 ire instructive in that they show that investors are rapidly becoming con! vinced of the enperiority of the South as a place for investment. Says the American Cotton and Wool Reporter: Oar returns show the total number of new mills, the construction of wlaich has been undertaken or projected, to be 68, showing a falling off of 19 from the 87 which we reported * - - J | for tbe oarlier nair 01 . ne year, tuiu j making a total for tbe year of 155. Tbe showing for tbe year presents a decided failing off from the record of previous years, although this is not at all surprisi?gr considering tLe present depressed state of cotron manufacturing. The number of new mills undertaken and projected dmring the last four years comptre as follows: Years. * Mills. 1887 155 1S0S, 800 1895 337 1894 263 Of the 68 mills mentioned above, 31 are for tbe manufacture of cotton, 17 are knitting mills, 11 woolen inili*, and one linen mill. Tbe last miii mentioned will be watohed with interest, as linen manufacturing iu the [ United States it largely a matter of | experiment. In the first part of 1897. -10 cotton mills were erectod or proposed in the South, and only 8 in the north; during the last of ihe year 26 in the South, and 4 in the norlb. This shows the difference ^ between the two sectionsMill* are being built in the South becac-so they can pay dividends; tbey are being built in the north because they can't pay dividends.

Some time ago a prominent visitor compared New Hope to heaven in that its people neither married nor were given In marriage. The last vAcf-orA of Uiis accusation was swept ?-fc- - - away oij December 30lh when a beautiful double marriage was performed in New Hone 'Jburcb. When last spriDg was putting forth its buds <*f promise there was started a rumor of a doable tL-rriage to take place during the year. This rnmor wcniu uui uuuu. fact, there wei e plenty of things to keep it alive. Every Friday night a certain impatient horse champed his bit near the front gate, doubtless wondering what could be tbe matter with thi* patient whom tbe doctor visited ee regularly and persistently. The sequel shows that Friday i-? not such an unlucky day after all. Again, at regular intervals a ceriain North Carolina Romeo would steal down to the ssme house to spend a fsw golden hours with a fair Juliet: The public, therefore, were uot a bit shocked when recently the cards came out practically announcing that Senator and Mrs. Thos. S. Bric8 bad been prevailed on to give two very haadsome Christmas presents, viz., their daughter Burtie in marriage to Dr. W- F. Mitchell, of this county, and their daughter Mamie in marriage to Mr. Lawson A. Getty*, of Shelbv, North Carolina. The happy event wa* to take place in the New Iiope Uiiurcb on uecemoer 30th. Such at? important social event quickly became toe great topic of thought and conversation in the surrounding communities. Loving friends and admirers met and beautifully decorated the church, which presented asceue of splendor on the evening of the 30th. Numerous tapers and chandeliers turned low threw over the decorations a "dim religions light" making a fairy-like prospect. The church .-.as crowded when promptly at 4 p. m , as the organ under the skillful hands of Mrs. R. G. Bnce pealed forth the "Bridal March," from Lohengrin, the church doors opened ai;d down the right aisle passed Dr. Mitchell and Miss Burtis, precede t by the ushers, W. M. Patrick and J. E. Stevenson, ani down the left with equal pace Mr. Geltye and Miss Mamie, preceded by the ushers, W. L. Reid and W. L. Rosboroogh. The two beautiful bride sisters were tastefully attired in traveling suits. The contracting conp;ie3 took their places under a beaatifal bower of vergreeu and rosee, and in a short and beautiful ceremony by Rev. J. T. Chalmers, assisted by Rev. J. E. Johnston, vrcre united tor life in the holy bonds of matrimony. Altogether it was an event that will lnnp- be remembered in New Hope? one not altogether free from sadness a? it removes from our midst one of our most popular yeur.g ladies?Miss Mamie, now Mrs. Gettyg?who will henceforth live at the homo of her husband in Shelby, N.

We are just beginning the new year and all ot (he people 8re about settled for the work of another, year. All hands are to their places ready to make a living. S:>me of the neighbor* have begun to plow the cotton fields and everybody looks fojward to something better. The "Cotton Trust," as they call.jtj i? progressing With the people ant^j| see tho necessity of doing somet for raiding the worth of cotton aiw^M creasing tho riches of the souts^W planters. It is really a matter of .^| ceesity now, and there is very litfle room" for anyone lo kick cut of it. What I think of it is fctbat the farmers are veritable blockheads if they wont do something now, fcr they can do it, most certainly. It is time that the farmers should be more ou the farm and not the mere picce of machinery made to work at the will of others, j as it has been heretofore.

To the Editor of The State: I send you the following about the early sct'Iers ot Fairfield, which will doubtless be of interest to your readers in that county. I-obtain it from Robert Mills^'Statistics of South Carolina." "The first settlement of this district took place abo it the year 1745. Col. John Lyles and his brother, Ephraim, were amon<? the first settlers: > they located themselves at the mouth of Beaver creek, on Broad river. Ephraim Lyles was killed by the Cherokee Indians in his own house, but by a wonderful interposition of Providence, the Indians"" went off and left Lyles' wife and seven or eight small children 1Q It; aimr KiUIUg a JJGglU, ? UV (T UO outside of the ?cu<e. The Ly les were natives of Brunswick, VaM but removed lo this county from old Bate county, North Carolina. "About the lime of the settlement of the Lyles Capt. liichsrd Kirkland settled on the Waterec river. Kirkland wa? a Virginian and a man of great wealth iu tnose early times; he owned O brood marcs." The above account of Epraim Lyles' death forms one of those incidents^ Carolin\'_s tcnJSfTorgol ten and are onlv found sailered about in different works. It is jnst suoh events as these which are treasured np iuNew England and told again and again until the history of that section seems more interesting and stirring than our own history, when in reality it is not. Had Ephraim Lyles lived iu Massachusetts, Connecticut or Rhode Island I pre sums many of the school children could have told about his murder by the Cherokees, bat as it Jwas, he was an early settler in Soath Carolina and I venture the assertion that even his name is unknown to the school children of Fairfield county.
