TTrfirfiftlii Cotton Mills held on Tuesday resolutions were uuammously passed to increa-e the capiial stock of the uiiils to two hundred thousand dollars. This meeting was called for this express purpose, and encugh has baeu actually subscribed to ?~sure that the additional caoital will be raised. This means that the Faiifieiu Cottoa Mills will be doubled. It means that i it is equivalent to building another j mill the sataesize as the present mill. When the mill was firit proposed, it j was freely predicted that another mill i would follow it closely or that the j mill would be doubled, if the present mill succeeded. The enterprise has succeeded and the prediction will be fully realized within a few moinhs. The additiou to ths mill wiil briug abont six hundred more people, and in twelve months ths twelve hundred people will be living at the cotton factory. The present mill p<t\s out about thirty or thirty-five thousand dollars annually, anil the increase of capital stock will about doub! * this amount?that is, abont sixty or seventy thou3aBd dollars will be paitl out by the Fairfield Cotton Mills every year to be distributed among the people of the commaoity. This will add a great deal to the business activity in the town as anyone can see. But the increase of the capital stock j meau? still more. It shows that ths mill nas succeeaea, ana mspireu iuu confidence of those who have money to invest. Tb3 increase of the capital stock and the addition to the mill in j consequence of it a-e cheering and stimulating to the community and everybody will feel more hopeful of the tature of Winnsboro. The success of the mill being now a settled fact, capitalists will not be timid abont goinjj into still another mill when the time comes to start another, and this mill having paid well enough to warrant an increase in its capacity another will surely follow. ' * ' ' ? n -> m o rt A I uouon ma^uta'ciuriug u? uiauc more southern towns than any other single industry, and it is strange that we have been so long in fully realizing it. From the day that the Fairfield Cotton Mills started operation, a different life has been manifested in Winusboro. Every southern town has found that it mast first heip itself, and this experience has been invariably given. Jill of these things Winnsboro has now learned, and we believe that the town is really on the eve of a progress, never known in the old town. DISCREDITABLE TO THE TOWN. There Is something about Laurens that needs the attention of the board of health. Every premises should be inspected every other day ana see that ?11 filth is removed, all weeds cut down and the drains well opened. It is very necessary that everything be kept perfectly clean through the summer. There are some who will not clean up without an officer of the law to see it well done.?Laurens County News. This applies to Winusboro aiso; in fact we know of no town in the State where so little trouble is taken to re more trash and unsightly odjocis. i[ Winnsboro was not naturally such a healthy place, we would doubtless have many cases of fever here every summer frrm lack of cleaning. Winnsboro must be worse than Laurens because the town ha? not even a board of health. This ought not to be so. A board of heaith is jast* as important as a fire department, and it is ccrtainly no credit to the place that we have no one to look after the sanitary welfare of the community. This is not strictly the doty of the town council. A separate and distinct body whose special duty fit should be to look after snch nutters should be crea'ed. We fuliy appreciate that it is uot a pleasant position to be a member of a board of health, but man/ of the duties of life sre unpleasant in their performance, but it is absolutely necessary that some one shall do it. It is a poor advertisement to Winnsboro that at this time when the town is beginning to put on an air of renewed life that it has no board of health?a body recognized as a necessity in ail civilized municipal- i ties. We feel almost ashamed to publish that we have none, but perhaps the * - - * A ? ~ A I U,\ ? r-? L f\r%nc> f A F oesi way 10 aruu?e iuc iulcic.-?c ?i iuu community is to make it as public as possible. If tbe law is not sufficient to proTide^for a board of health, we a?k our legislators to make it so. mm m mmrn North Carolina is still fighting for white supremacy. It seems that a great maay negroes go to North Carolina from Virginia to work during the tobacco season in the factories and invariably wait until the elections j Often they leave in train loads the day j after the election. The registrars have refused to register them until satisfactory proof of their right to register is produced. The Republicans hare had some of the .registrars arrested for refusing to register the negroes. We hope that North Carolina will soon have the suffrage amendment n> the State constitution and thea erj >v political peace. W. S.

We have passed "from a deficiency in revenue to a surplus," says the President You need not worry about the surplus. Your billion do'iar Congress can easily dispose of it. By the way, how quickly the Republicans dis posed of the surplus left by President Cleveland ia the ti-easury. To-vne seems lobe willing to give away to Stevenson. He seems to care more for tne tnumpn or nis pnucipies than the mere notoriety that will come to him as a candidate for ibe viccpresidencv. While iie has not definitelf committed him, it i< plain thru he will give way to Steremon. Shooting the Filipinos is callcd by Rough Rider Roosevelt going "aloug the path of prosperity ajd high honor abroad." Opportunity to make a dollar and "high honor" are synonymous in the Republican party dictionary. Mr. McKinley did not say anything about the number of barrooms that had been established in Manila, and the object lessons in iute -jperance that the arrnv of occupation have giveu the natives. "A beiceficent government has been prcv'ded for Porto Rico," pays Mr. McKiniey, and yet the same man is authority for the fact that wc hare failed to Jo ''our plain duty" to the island. President McKinley's >pe?:ch is mostly about the dollar. It is true that he refers (o Providence, but like many good people be seems to think that the Almighty speaks throogh the dollar. With another railroad and the eottou factory donbled. th> outlook lor Winusboro will be brigh'er than ever known before. The issue is plain. Mr. MrKinley his endorsed tbe theory tuat the Constitution does not follow the fhg. Electric lights and water works ought to "be the next public improvements. A little slow siartingj bu( vVinusboro will come along all ri^ht. sights and pleasdhes of the "loxe star state."

On the morning of July 3rd, our hearts were leaping with py, our faces drawn in various lines by lansrhter, our steps moving with great rapidity, bounding to and fro until all was quieted by the rushing car bound for Ga!7eston. All aboard! ready wi!h merry laughter again. Just a short piece we passed a coal mine, where hands were busy way down underground working by the little torch on top of their c*p?. Some earn as much as five do'iars pfr day. In that business, like all ?>Uier, experts and industrious men are the successful one?. On a few miles further .

Instead of cotton factories as you j have there, the railroads are bordered with saw mills, and such gigantic ones I never saw. They are all through the country; as many as can conveniently be situated on the railroad?. I counted fourteen between here and Houston. Toe sawing capacity averages fifty thousand feet per ! y; two of the uumber saw one hun<i ami fifty thousand feet per day. i i!a>e this correct from the mills. The heavy rains show their signs by great banks of trash rifted in the svvamp of Angelina river, the first one crossed. While crossing the great iron trestle over Neches river~ uiy heart was leaping, bnt not with joy. I felt my helpless estate was almost like the Catholic, ready to cill upoa the cross and other Dieties for half, wben at last, one more long breath, I was allowed to grasp again wben /% > ?nn/l TKa onprom^ r\ ^ 1 V\ ' rt saictj Uii ?*uu* iub ?nauiy ui iuid rirer >vas amass of sycamore trees; ttey wore so tall my eyes were afraid to attempt a measure and make a statement. _ While crossing Trinity river, tbe Iron bridge bad p?werful iron braces exteniiug from the water up above the cars, fastened with bolts innumerable. For several miles whirlj ing through that swamp, the most de| lectable odor, the most maguificent of nature's creation my eyes have glanced pon was that of huge magnolia trees in a fall blaze of blossom*. Since taking fight into the ''Lone Star State," we've been interrogated about wolves devouring us by those still abiding there. No, we rest very l?i. J!.. r\? uuuieuicuiy. v/u uij uip iuiluci away I saw none, but had the pleasure of seeing pet deer. They run near homes even a few oiiles from Timpson as harmless a3 doves. Some miles from Houston we passed a sugar cane field, consisting of one thousand acres. It was planted in rows three feet apart, was waist high, and so'hick .yon could scarcely run your hand between stalks. When matured it is cut similar to rails, six to six and one-half feet long and hauled ia. The cornfields were the most wonderful sights in that production I ever saw. I never saw broadcast sugar cane thicker there than the corn was, with three to four ears per stalk. Of course I saw some that reminded me so much of that I was accustomed to. Just after the sun had sunken benea'h the horizon, and the gleaming light of the beautiful moon was castin 2 her glistening rajs over the earth we slacked speed, bat to sail peacefully and quietly across the San Jacinto river. Oar arrival at Houston in time to partake of the viands of the evening hoar was both pleasing to taste and sight, within the beautiful marble walls and flour of a diuing roona and overhead laid in large squares illuminated by four electric lights in the centre of each square.

July 4.

Tbu city has erected a magnificent j monument to Ro&enburg, the hero of the Texci3 Revolution in 1836. It is made of Italian marble raised by an Italian architect, costing tbirty thousand dollars. On the top stands a figure sixteen feet high, pointing north, with extended left hand bearing a wreath; to the side is buckled a sword twined with roses. On opposite sides near the base are two more I months to fourteen years, some whose mothers are too poor to care for them; oihers abandoned, no one to give a mother's sweet caress save that of (he foster mother. They are cired for until fifteen years of nge unless adopte by some one. They are taught some way of muk-ng a living. They are schooled, have religious worship and everything is inauaged sysema ically. He also relieves the hearts of the suffering poor old ladie3 by a "Horn'} for old Women." They do us tnnch work as physical strength allocs. There are several academies and churches staadiug bold bearing ibe naiue of llosenbarg as founder. Some elegant churches were seen, of which special note was taken of (he Catholic 'Jhurch and its two hundred and twenty-five foot high steeplp. This denoiiiinalion is very strong in bo!h cities visited. Of the many rr.aask>ns told, untold, seen, unseen, language lakes flight from tae pen of tbe writer when making an attempt to desciibe the home of Ex-Congressman Gresham. It is reported to be tbe costliest re-idence south, being three quarters of a million dollars. The be.intie? seen in a revolving kaleidoscope bring to mind of those seen on the outside of this house. I don't even know if we would have oeeu auoweu :<j enter, i yyca avj uvciwhelmeJ al extenu.I appearances, and was swept away, remembering no more. There were some elegant^colleges. I must say I believe Wintfcrop is a prettier building' though no larger or better equipped. I saw the most picturesqae one out on the prairie known as Denver College, on the Denver car belt tine, near Lake View, euclosed with wire fencing, bordered with trees, foliage like cedar, though shape resembling weeping willow. At the iear of the enclosure was Lake View cemetery enclosed bj- a four foot brick wall.

Galveston being only six feet above sea level there are not a great many high towers, buildings or steeples. The Improved Loan and Trust (Jo. has a large six-story granite building. There nny be others that will exceed this, <hough I did not see any. Mr. Editor, any one would have enjoyed a hearty laugh with the sailors at my excited form when I walked into the shipping depot face to face wiih five turtles weighing from 142 to 160 pouuds each. They were on their backs with feet tied together, lying on trucks ready to be loaded on the Lamp;is/e, of New York, belonging to the Marrow line, which sailed two hours I Ivtfcr Turtle? ftre kftnt alive twelve days by three baths a day around the head with salt water, and the Lampasoi would land, il all favorable, in eight days. I was anxious to see in it, but it was being loaded aDd orders to sailors to allow no one aboard the vessel on the day of sailiDg. Now sailors and shipping agents laugh at those beiog called large turtles. They have seen them weigh five and six hundred poundF. A 600 pound turtle was seen by a number of Timpson ladies and gentleman in Galveston receutly. I Hnn't oarp tn lift P.losfi 10 Onf! Of that fcize. While on the wharf I saw crab fishing goiog on. They were small, about the size of a saucer; sold for thirty ceuts a doziu; equally as ugly as the green turtle. A lishcrmin had several hooks sunk with beef on each; he drew slowly to the surface, using a dip net in securing the crab. Tattered and torn by si^ht-seeing we boarded the cars for Houston. As the suu was setting we left the island, crossing the two-mile-wide Bay of Galve-ton in ten minutes, bidding farewell to Galres;ou. On the journey between the cities were seen enormous pear orchards, strawberjy fields and l ice fields. There are streaks of countrv not wholly unlike dear old South Carolina hills. I anticipate eight-seeing in thiscnor mou3 State, and I will in all probability be then as uow unprepared to say where I shall always like to reside Now I trust you have not grown threadbare iu patience after reading of how I spent from July 4th to 7th.

His residence aud $2,000 are left to the A. R. P. congregation of Chester, the former to be rented or sold as deemed best. We understand that he valued his house and lot at $3,500, making the bequest $5,500. The income is to b3 used in payment of pistor's salary. Erskine Theological Seminary at Dae "West gets $10,000, the income to be used in paying saiaries ot professors. Board of foreign missions of A. R. P. Church $10,000. Income for support of an additional missionary. Board of church ertcueion ot same church $3,000. Income to be used at discretion of board. American Bible Society $500. Erskiue College $10,000, for a fund to be known as the "Wylie Educational Fund lor Girls." The proceeds from this fund are to be used for the payment ef tuition of worthy and deserving girls residing in the "Wylie Home," [which was built by Mr. Wyiie and has just been completed]. The trustees are allowed to prescribe rules for seleiting the beneficiaries, or tuition may be advanced on notes payable two > ears after graduation, and hu monoy pain u;i sutu nuius is iu lu used iu the same way as the interest on the fund.
