Merchants complained of no trade, and many of them contemplated leaving the pl&ce. The yo*ng men wore leaving the town because they could Sad nothing to do. Stagnation was in eridenee on all sides. Finally a progressive man iasisted that a cotton faetory mast be bailt. It was bailt, and succeeded. Now Gril&n has six or seven mills. The population of the place insreased. The tow* grew li?ely in a business sense, and bow people consider Grif-1 Ik us great deal more than a mere spot on tat asp. * ? i- ~ Some facts related at to Griffs soand very descriptive of TTinaaboro. few years>jjo, we aastt siy is all honesty, this town was about at dead aa they are made. It has improved, hat there is room fer improvement?a plenty ef room. One eottea mill eannot Jmake a place; it will sot make Winashoro. Boys jrow np ia Winnshoro, bat as yoan; men thev live elsewhere, ?and as a general rale they do well wherever they go, which goes to ' show we d# not lack in the right kind of material to make asefal citicens, hat we lack the inducements to keep them at home. More trade willaet eome antil we have more cotton mills. Hoases will remaia anrepaired, nnpaiated and dilapidated antil mere cottoa mills are hailt. * * * We want more railroads. We need one more badlv. Railroads seek places ef commercial importance. Cotton mills, it it useless to argte now, (ire eommsreial importance mi wealth to Soatharn towns as nothing else has done. Therefore, more cotton Mills would put U3 in a position to demand tbe consideration of projected railroads, whieh do not pto a plaee merely because there is enough ground te support their tracks. ? ? ? .... * ' -.' Should the building of another mill be delayed? They are paying now is -the testimony from all sides. The time te enter & business venture is when tbe prospects of success are bright. Will the South overdo the thing? Xot until more nulls are bmlt than are necessary to manufacture all the eotton railed in the South. The per cent ot prefit is cotton mills will probably be greater in the Best ten years than is the next twenty-fire or thirty. Then it is better to build as toon as possiblt than to wait. * * * As far as the interest of the town is concerned, it is always desirable to have as many independent mills as possible. It takes no argument to show this, for it rests apoa the self* evident principle that two small mills are better for the community than one larc-e mill. Beaidas. tka iadanandaTit mills, beeause they Jare independent, w ill not be dependent upon the earaiajs of the others to increase their capacity. * ? * The present mill should be an eneoarageaaen t to our eommaniiy. It is one of the be3t eonstrueted mills in the State. It is beautifully located, (ted then there are numerous sites just as attractive). It is pay in; under the manaf ement ?f our own business I men. It is an illustration of what can j be done. * Fairfield cotton is said te make a Jipenor class ?r jpoas. Ail : our j eettoa shoold be **nafaetar?d here.

The bill did >ot seem to take favorably with Congress, aad it ought not The opponents made the observation that if Pennsylvania was paid, then Ohio, Kentucky and other Statei would be entitled to pay, and tbat two thousand million dollars would b< necessary to satisfy all inch claims. It is not surprising that the nnmber oJ pensioners in the Spanish-Americas war is so mueh greater in the Northern States than in the Southern.

Prof. R. Means Davis, of th# South Carolina Collsge, womld bt an excellent man to write the history, as be was tha sstrttary tf tht State oxeca* tive oommittat. His ditles May be too tnerois jast aow to undertake tha task, hat the trustees eould sot da a mere patriotic dead than ta lighten his labors far tkis laudable purpose. Tbis is an excellent suggestion and Tbe 6tata heartily seeonds it. The seed for such a history is most apparent. The campaign of 1S76 in South Carolina possesses more thai Mere political significance. It was a social and political rerolntien, an example of the ioherent superiority of the white race aad tbe inability of that race to submit to domination by aay other. Bat not only was the campaign important in that respect. The Banner in Tehien it was conaacio* * fre* start to finish was a historical * wonder. The determination; the pa- ( triotism; the deads ef collective and ( individual bravery and daring; tke ? coolness and eearage of Hampton and these who followed him, are deserr- j ing of immortal fame. A history of the Hampton movement is indeed a necessity. Its cauies, its events and its results should be written by a eapablo narrator, one who was a par* ticipant o?d a partaker in the affairs of that day. No one is better qualified for this ?rork than Prof Davis. A student of history, an entertaining and graphic writer, and an actor in those seenes, he is the naan to whom the task should be assigned. He has at hand the files of the leading newspapes of that peri<rd, which would be an invaluable aidWithout consultation with Prof. Davis and without his knowledge, simply on the spar of the moment, we ean endorse the suggestion of his name, for the history shonld not be carelessly or imperfeotly written. It should be an accurate and faithful accoint, sack as no ameteur conld give. There is growing ap a generation which knows not the story ot '76, and it is not a trills to be left to tradition. It is as mach a part sf South Carolina's history at the settlements at Port ftoyal and Charleston: as maeh a part; as the glorious deeds of M&rion, Senator, aai Pickens; as much az the Nullification -- ?--Wi oc .iMiim Tbd iiKi crflf M JBWVIl ai W /VV-AVai* spirit which prompted all these was responsible lor the state's from the nie of serfs and aliens. If it is accessary?and doabtlesa it is seme legislative provisioa should be made for this w?*k. If, however, Prof. Davis will undertake it at onee, we are sare th? legisiatare will assist him. That body at the last sessioa willingly gave aid to these authors who have already undertaken to tell the story of other portiois ef Sonth Carolina's history, aad the precedent is a good on# which weitfd doubtless be followed in this ease.
