Regarding the agitation going on in the L-olumnsof the Prat* and Banner, as to cotton mills, I nm unable to say which side he would favor, but rather think he would urge their construction and running on a cash basin. He Is a cash man and Is always anxious for itnylhing that looks to good and progressive measures. Mr. Waller has an associate in business, one Mr. MucDonald, a very lone lieaded Scotchman, who has revolutionized ihe art of printing. The Tim's was first Isiued under tlie title of Daily Register, l.ut ibree years later it adopted its present name.

II.] Yesterday was an exciting day In the court house, and at any time from ten o'clock In the morning until t-undown In the evening it was difficult, if not almost Impossible, for any one to wor'i his wuy into the densely pocked room. On the Judge's bench tliero was a push and scrouge. and his hoi.or could not spit without hitting somebody. The I aisles and all the space around the bar was ducked so densely that a titan could not run his band into his own pocket, and all the | surface of thr brncnea In the room was utilized as standing ground by the crowd.

Wardlawof this town, after a long ' and painful Illness on August 9, 188.1, Wtvl Hie day after, amidst the tears anil sorrow of the \ wh'iln community, was tiurle I at Upper (.one I Cane eemi-t!?.-y. nniinc her kindred w'io hart ' preceded her to the grave. Tuns passed r awaj* one, who. by a long life of quiet uiios! tentatlous devotion to duty, mid the constant exercise of the sweet virtues of cheerfulness, benevolence, patience, and charity, had garnered Op, In full measure, the love and allcctlon of all who knew tier. The deceased, a daughter of Andrew Howie " of this Codnty. first saw the light on June 8, 18)8, within h short distance of the place " where she lived and died; so that at the time j of her death, being In her seventy-sixth year, ' she had passed the allotted period of "three I score yearft and ten," and itaMied a greater Mage than had bpen vouchsafed to any ot her -; Immediate family. She was married on July i 8,1831, to our respected townsman Hdbert H. | wardlaw, who was only about a year older I than herself; There was in the connection of | tills couple something of the calmer elements I of real romance. They were schoolmates and i; mutually attached In early life, It happened that they were baptized at the saute time by ?t.? t>A.r tl n,.l. l\UI,en.v ?r ?!.? Chureh of which both remnlned honored members until her death, and ns husband nml wife they lived happily together for more than fifty years?celebrating In 1830 their "golden wedding," at which their numerous family and- friends found them as cheerful find happy as when, halfa century before with willing hearts they boutid themselves In the silken tic of wedlock. "Hall wedded love, mysterious law, true source of humau oftspilim." Thirteen children were born of this uniontwelve sons and a daughter?of whom the daughter and two sons died In early infancy, but ten sorts were reared to man's estate, via: Andrew, Jnines, Watt, William, Robert. Langdon, David, Francis, Perrln, and Chftrle*. The romarkable devotion lo duly and principle of all of these sons, a fid their entire freedom from lax principles and nil bad habits most conclusively pp?ve the manner in. which they were reared and educated, nnd the principles of morality nnd integrity which were Instilled Into them at their mother's knee. James died tn early manhood, leaving a widow and one child. Two of them, Robert and Frucis, gave their lives to the Confederate South, and others were desCerately wounded in the same struggle. angiion nnd David fell while at the post of duty, victims to the yellow fevor epidemic of Memphis in 1S77 and 1878, and five still survive to mourn the Irreparable loss of the best of mothers. To all of these sons, without exception, like the matron of Roman classic j story, she could poliil as her brightest Jewels. Usually there Is nothing striking In the life I I of a good woman, she cannot have a public career which can nfford subject of eulogy, hut on the contrary, it Is her highest praise that she shunned the gaze of the world and was content to move guletly along the cool sequestered shades of life, loving and helng loved In her own little circle. The deceased certainly was an ornament to her sex, and In many respects a remarkable person?uniting In herself, to a degree rarely seen, all the qualities which eo to make up tho character Of a most lovely woman?gentle, modest, and retiring as u child, yet when occasion required, she had firmness, courage, and fortitude In a very high degree. Her manners were simple, luil dignliied and somewhat stately. Her conduct always eehtle. frank, and sincere. It mltfht ho said of her that she was a litdy of tne old school, and one of the links tliat connected us with a former generation. Perfectly conscientious, she discharged the manifold duties of daughter, wife, and mother witli intelligence antl firmness. but at the same time throwing Over all. tho sweetnos*, cheerfulness, and kindness of her own gentle temper. She never tired In Her dtfvotlon to the comfort and happiness of her good husband, who Is now alone In th<* world, and may the Good One support and sustain him. until th'cy are again happily united. She was remarkable for her nigh sense of order, and her taste, love of neatness and systematic Industry, made her a model housekeeper, whose home was always a happy one-lllusjtrating that Indeed "order Is heaven's flfst law." A devoted pious Christian, she whs not troubled with vagrant fancies for a con r?yn uwu* iiiimmm] iu wit; ueuujuu in luruign i Innds, but found both her hands and heart I lull In the performance of her dally domestic! duties. and In doing little nets of kindness to | all her home people Who came within her un1 pretending sphere. It was her mission to make home happy. In which sho wan ino>>t eminently successful. To her each day had it* appointed dutle?. Hers was a life of diligent Industry and activity so that It might have been truly said of her "she looketh well to the ways of her household; and eatcth not the bread of Idleness. Her children arise up ami call her blessed; and her husband also, he pral*etli her. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works prulrnj her lu the gntes." But the characteristic of the de<w?sed, which seemed to ns the moat touching and lovely, was her kindness and desire to assist all, without respect of persons, who were in sorrow or distress. It seemed that having heen chastened herself by a full measure of the sorrows of life, her melting heart wont out Instinctively towards those who were In the depths of despair. Though wearing the sweet smile which wag peculiar to her, and ; I seemingly cheerful she was accustomed to re- i peat that It was belter to go to tho house of j mourning (ban to the bouse of feasting.! Wherever there wag sickness and sorrow or death and despair, there could certainly be foilii.il the good Samaritan?not only as the kind sympathetic triend. lint as the selt-eonlaiufd wise adviser, mourning with the heartbroken,^tislainlng and comforting the weak, and infusing Into those around her her own calm, plou? fortitude'. tVw can say With tlie utmost sincerely, that we have known no one who was more kindly, more considerate, or more self sacrificing. With a heart full of love for her neighbor, she followed the example of her Great Master, and, utter the duties! of her own household were dispatched/ liter-1 ally "went about doing good." Irt memory we can see her now. with her pale 1 sweet face at ono moment softly consulting with the doctor, and with clear head ami quiet manner giving direction* In the Kick chamber, und then, as the end approached, holding In her gentle grasp the hand of the stricken sufferer and counting Jh? weakening beats of the pulse an life ei>b d ' away. One who hue been the recipient of! Mich heavenly charity, humbly prays thnt j the sod may rest softly and the turf grow green 011 the last resting place of good aunt Eliza. Doubtless sho has her reward.
