Oar contemporary for t - -*-_a ^r?_: . u? r many long years preacneu--Dnu^ mo t cotton mills to tbe cotton field5," aud?ke we believe that its hard and earnest t work has been felt. That Sooth c Carolina is leading the S:mth in c*?ton factories. * The effects of the cotton mills in the a development of the State is strikingly i presented in tbe New^and Courier of c the3ih inst. Two letters have been ^ r?nK!ioh?d in nnr cr>nfera?orarv. One t was from Barnwell, and contained the t ' following: "Agentleman who (ravels ? for a prominent Charleston house sa>s 1 that Bamberg- and Barnwell are in < worse financial condition tban the ? other ccunties?of the Siate, and he c attributes it to the fact thaf we have 1 ? a ini1nati.io5 r.-f 9iiv fViliKP- C ?

We have been ^ p.'aying on a fidd!c with one string, t $nd whan that (the cotton crop) < breaks the fiddle can be played no < longer." The other letter came from Spartan- 1 burg-, and, as the News and Courier t - says, it might have been written as ao i ? ?* ) answer to ttie iiarnweiicorrespyuuem. ? It was written by a low-countryman, wh? lr opened to 4be in Spartanburg. He was struck with signs of progress and prosperity. Among other things he says in his letter: "The transition t from the present comparatively de- s pressed condition of the low-country 1 to the thrift and prosperity that ars 1 evidenced on all sides along the Pied- t * * c mont belt is in tne nature ui .? icveia- ? tion." I The difference between the two sec- 1 tions is traceable directly to the cotton ( miils. The line of prosperity is t marked by cotlon uulls. Spartan- { bnrg County has twenty-two separate j mills operating 400,000 spindles and j employing 8,000 operatives. On ac- t c Usit of these mills aboat $10,000,000 ] o?>nn<>iiv fn? c.ntton and I i IS jJMU UUl u.iuux-j WAges, 150,000 balei of: cotton being j bought, sold and consumed by them, e These figures 'show why there is J 4i;hrift and prosperity" in Spartanburg. Tbe correspondent adds that ( he has inquired into tthe history of 1 these industries, and he finds that * ntw r>r mnsf. of them, had small _ tu". *" ** w* ' I beginnings and were started by men j ; aLd people "in enterprising sections i helping themselves first, by moderate J ontlays." We hav^ called attention ^ to this, because our own people have j jnst started on this line. We can not t boast of tuch figures as are presented t as to Spartanburg, bat we should re- i ( member that Spartanburg's beginning t was as modest as ours. To-day c Winnsboro has a small mill, but it ( * 7 1 will compare most favorably with any j miil of its size in the State. The effect { of the Fairfield Cotton Mills is already j felt upon onr development. In the { last siix months at least five hundred ? people have been added to our popu- r lation, and the thousands ot dollars J :J 1 oil- Kotro ife t p&iu UUt auuuaii; niu ubiv Whether duo to the factory or not, it ' is significant that more baiiding is in progress in Winnsboro to-day than in twenty or twenty-five years, and the building bas followed npon the completion of the factory. In less than six mon^ abou: twelve store-rooms have beej built, and other signs of improvement are not wanting. It is s-' true that the low price of cotten is not g *'* " * "' - ^ *" Ktlf if ? Wltnout ;115 uepresBiujj cuc^ic, "i*. the outward evidences of progress I shall be a3 grea,t in 1899 as they have c been in 189S, the people of Winnsboro [ ought not to complain. The class of t operatives in the cotton mills are very a perceptibly an improreaen upon those 8 wko found employment immediately ? upon the commencsment of work in f the mills. At first, what are called f the "tramp element" flacked to the J . factory, as we are informed is gene- t rally the case with ne'w mills. Winns- t boro and'Fairfield County should be c very much interested in the success of T the beginning. We\can not hope to g rival Spartanburg, Out if the present ? enterprise succesds others like it will c follow and with them oiber evidences ? r of prosperity. j "" 33 f THE RACE TKOCBUES.

The Associate Reformed Synod oi he South will hold its annual meeting it Chester, S.C., beginning to-day. l! will be composed of delegates frorc learly ill the Southern States. The Associate Reformed Church, of whict his Syucd is the highest court, has hat in organic existence for more than on( lundjed iearsr InLathan's History ii s said: "Tcedoctrinaf views and paactices >f the Associate Reformed Synod o: he South on the subjects of Psalmody mdCommunion are in harmony with be views and practices of botn tb Reformed Presbyterian and Unitec L'resbyterian churches.

The type of Scotch Pres'jyferianism has been largely re ained by tb? Associate Reformed Synod of tbe Sooth, and this hai ilways placed tbe denomination ia itriking contrast with all other Chrisian denominations in the South.

The faith and loyalty and ;ourage of tbsie people have ever >een manifested in the history of this ;ountry; but their faith was in God, lot in earthly kings, their loyalty was o the truih as it is taught in the Scripures of the Old and New Testaments, ,nd not as set forth in royal decrees nd acts of parliament; and their oarage was #stablishcd by patience tnder suffering unto death. They ought at King's Mountain and they ollowcd Stonewall Jackson.
