The tScorjjotown I'liquirol* and its "Jlisappri'hrBstoii of Facts.** "The -olijo<*t of Mr. Cleveland, if we; understand his proposition correctly, is | Hot to secure for railVoads tho exemption from taxation which factories enjoy, fr is something vOrv different, The two-: millM tax tor school purposes is the only : one paid by factories. Mr. Cleveland, on1 ? the otf'.or "IihiuI, has no objection to the ^ railroads being taxed for State, comity or vchool purposes, but demands tliat the State ti.x <n? railroads built wholly or in \. part by county aid shall be paid over to' tlie counties whieh granted the subsidies.''? Georgetown Km/?/ >rrr. To show that an able and courteous ed i I or may sometimes be in error wo would a-k thy attention of tlio edif"r of tho (jlcorgetoicH Enquirer to tho law on the subject, which is in these words: "Any person who, since first January, 1S72, has invested, or may invest, capital in the manufacture of cotton, woollen and paper fabrics, iron, from iron ores, and agricultural implements, within this' IState, shall, for tlio period often years j from the date of his investment, be enti- j tied to receive from the treasury of the State, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of State, and, from the (,'ountv Treasurer, the aggregate auiountof county taxes, less the two-mills for school1 purposes, and from tho treasurer of all municipal corporations, a sum equal to the aggregate amonntof municipal taxes, j which shall he levied and collected upon [ the property or capital employed otiin-i vested directly in such manufactures or r enterprises; not including herein tho tax i levied upon the laud upon which the lac- J in iv hf? <<rccte 1. The sum if mon <sy sn to be repaid, ti> bo tixed and deter-1 mined by the Comptroller General in accordance with the tax returns, (he State tax to be paid by the State Treasurer on , his warrant, and the county tax by the 'County Treasurer, under the order of the; Comptroller General." This paragraph, we think, proves con clusivelv tiiat our contemporary is mis-1 taken in saying that "the two-nulls tax "lor school purposes is the only one paid ' "by factories." It also proves another thing, that the; tax collected from the factories is aliegal- j ly paid back to them. Article IX, Section 13of the Constitution says: "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in pursuance of appropria- J tion made by law." .... - y?r I 1 nt'I'C* IS l|()l il M IIILlli.l v?i , nl authority for drawing money out of. the treasury, for any purpose, except in j the mode at)fh>rized above. Nowhere I else than in the Statute about factories j is the Comptroller General authorized to j go into the Treasury except "in pnrsu-j unce of appropriation tnado by law." Why the exception in the case of facto-1 ries? Why not for railroads as well as' factories ? If returning the taxes to railroads "would flood the State with all sorts of visionary schemes;" we would like to know if it is possible for our people to do J - mn,-n "viuinnstrv" thilltr tllUll that of| """v J I putting their money in cotton factories. | To-day the great majority of cotton factories are either stopped, or running on ishort time, or have reduced the wages ofi V>perfttives to starvation figures, and this; because of an over production of goods.! The delusion of ten years of exemption! from taxation has we presume almost | brought ruin to many who have invest-j ed largely of their means in cotton facto- j rios which have to stop altogether or run j on short time. The history of every cot- j ton factory in the South before the war put these enterprises in the category of "failures." Tho revenue which every man j pays on the cloth he uses^is a tax on ' him, whether rich or poor, for the bene-! fit of the capitalist who has a factory.; On the other hand, railroads increase the! Value of every man's lands through, which they run, build up market towns and furnish to every citizen, rich and ./ ? poor, conveniences of travel and lower freights. But as a matter of fact, the State has no legal right to refund the taxes on any kind of property. It is only a questicn <of public policy, as to whether we shall Violate the law in order that we may as-! sist any favored enterprise or whether | we wilt treat all capitalists alike, by re-i quiring thoin to pay their just propor-' tion of taxes. We are inclined to the opinion that the) law exempting factories from taxation originated through the influence of Char-. Jeston, and tor the benefit of those eiti-; zr??s of tlie State who might live in Char-i lestou and choose u> invest in that lino cf [ enterprise, wherever such factory mightf be located. We are also fully pnrsuaded that the Railroad Commission law originated in Charleston. It is also, we believe, a conceded fact that Charleston has' not put a dollar in railroad building since,1 the war. Those two la. ts put together | Very naturally suggest the question, did! not Charleston have in view the suppres-1 m aion of railroad building in the up-country When it urged the passage of the Katlroad Commission bill? Charleston is our chief city, and naturally every citizen of the State has more i or Kjsa pride in lier welfare and prosptri-; ty, and we as naturally look to that city | for the friendly touch of the elbow in ; every elfurt we may make in building! railroads toward that metropolis. Hut) Charleston has never a dollar with which! to help us reach that city by a new rail j route. Augusta came to our help, and by her aid, we have secured the Greenwood and , Augusta Railroad, which road will resultin a new liue from Greenwood to 8par-1 w?..vufg, and may ultimately go further j towards Baltimore. Through the same! influence a new line of road will be laid j from McCormick to Anderson village, I running through the entire length of our; county. It is hoped through tho same; influence that a new road may also be; run from Abbeville to Verdery or else- j where on tho Augusta and Knoxville! roacL The tifty-ono miles ol road from i McCoruiick to Anderson, which is now ' nearly graded, together with the one hun- J dred and twenty-lour miles of road to Spartanburg will carry immense freights1 to the city of Augusta, much of which i would go to our own metropolis if the j people of that city had not appeared in-! di He rent in tho matter. j Reasoning from uieso racis, u wouiu uei natural that Charleston should oppose the building of railroads in the up-eoun-1 try, no matter how great the benefit is to ! us. It is not therefore strange that Char- j leston opposes tlio granting of any en-' courageineut to railroads in tlie matter of! taxes or convict leases. It is not strange: that Charleston should so vigorously op-, pose the hiring of convicts to build railroads which do not run to Charleston. It is also not unreasonable to see wherein Charleston does not object to the convicts; working on the Columbia canal. That! canal, but more properly speaking, tha j ditch, can never effect anybody, for good j " -? :? :-i ? ..ll.. ,,?HJ or ior evn, usufjii niuuciu.mj, lie attention is diverted from the kh'h'J value of the labor of the convicts. This labor might bo utilized either within the walls of the penitentiary, or outside in grading railroads, and thus provoa benefit to the State, instead of throwing it away in that "visionary" scheme, by! courtesy, called digging a canal. Charleston puts her objection to the hiring of convicts for building railroads on high j grounds, viz: bocauso of the alleged or actual cruelty of tho contractors. This1 strikes the public ear and meets a re-1 spouse in the heart ol every humanitarian, who may not stop to think that: the crime of cruelty might as easily be 1 remedied on tho railroad as in tho poni- f fflntiarv. There is no ir.ore need of cruelty by contractors out of the peniton- j tiary than in the penitentiary. The peo-' pie of Charleston may not realize their J real reason their opposition to the' luring of convicts to build railroads, but l we are inclined to think that a scrutiny i would convince thoin that it origi pates more from their own opposition to; ihe building of railroads in the up-coun-j try than from any sentimentality about I <be convicts. Charleston seems uualtera-. bly opposed to the building of railroads. That city dons not want any more rail-! v. roads, ami it is evident that new roads running across the State will divert trade from that city. Augusta, by thn jn<li-'i t'Jjua expenditure of a Jittlo uiouey will r ^ have t:? ? hcnei;! of \ long v.v 1, nu nr.ig mto tho centre of the State, and among a j people who foci grateful for help in giving us:? pnt!i>; highway at a time when] our own city refused to giv^; us a dollar. Charleston wants eottcu fictorics to| employ Hie poor women and children of the city who would otherwise have noth- ] ing to do, and would extend a favor to] capitalists by exempting their property from taxatiou for ten years. Charleston wants exclusive privileges to (lit; phosphates. "Hut the up-eo?ntry wants railroads. Charleston would withdraw the convict labor from our help, enact laws w hich are calculated to suppress the turther building of railroads, and still fur-1 ther object to our railroads enjoying the! same exemptions from taxation which | we have gran tod to her factory owners, j T!ic in the Field.

In order that our readers may titnierstand the operation of this extraordinary pl've of mechunism we will endeavor to describe it as clearly as possible. A ueces.suiy preliminary to the operation of the new press is the process of WUTTINU TUB PAl'Kft. Tue paper lor the press is received from the piper mills in roils wound on hollow spools or cores. The roils are about thirty-six inches In din meter, and contain about, live miles of paper. To wet the paper a s| InJIe Is run Hi rough the core, and the roll is lifted in:<i bearings at one end of the welling machine; a friction strap Is ; asscd around a pulley on one end of the spindle and attached to a lever, which is u?-ed to regulate the strain on the paperv.s the roll Is tin won ixl.

AlibrviUe l'seas mvl Runner. II seem to ns tlmt our contemporary litis It-' self l>e?'ii misled. Theobject of Mr.Cleveland, if wo understand his proposition correctly, is not to!?ecurc for railroads the exemption from luxation which factories enjoy, it Is something very illltoront. The two-mill tax for school purposes Is the only one paid by focto-| rles. Mr. Cleveland, oti the other hand, has! no objection to the railroads being taxed for| State, county or school purposes, but do-1 mauds that the Slain lax on railroads hniltj wholly or In pari by county aid shall ho paid ! to the'counties which granted the subsidies. Neither Is Mr. Cleveland's scheme intended solely to enrourape railroad building In the | future and invite capitalists to Invest itt such enierpiises. On the contrary it is dc-lgnod.i principally if not entirely, to relieve those' counties which have assumed debts in aid of railroads of th'-lr sclf-lniposeil burdens. Its objcet Is not the promotion of Internal Improvements, but the making amends to a few1 | counties for Inconvenience* and embarrass-] 'caused by their own errors In Judgment It is true that thebill embodying Mr. Cleveland's idea will prohabty make similar provision for comities which may hereafter (house to incliri* similar ili-lils. Rut that feature will i I only he adopted I??impress upon the project] : the appearance of a measure of Rival public! policy and lend an Adventitious support to a Wholly indefensible proposition. So far also i from belie; an anrumrnt In Its favor, it would hea good reason for rejecting the scheme, be| cause it would virtually be nultlngn premium j upon Improvident and reckless expenditures : by every cuftuty in the- State. It would create] ! a paradise for denvigo-jncs and speculators. ' It would in vile the accumulation of Immense J ! bonded county debt*. It would Hood the | state with till sorts of visionary schemes for ' plundering the teople. Even If it nccom-] ! plisbed no more than the advancement of j legitimate enterprises It would tiring into existence a greater railroad mileage than our territory and resources would enable us to {support. In the end It would brin 4 stringency. stagnation, tne paralysis of business, bankruptcy and linunclal ruin.

It ; Si-em- to us to be a demand to confer special j f ivors upon a few conn lies at the expense I and with an IndeiXMit disregard ol the State. in its 11.st analysis It means that whoever I creates railroad properly or in any other way adils to taxable va lies should be paid for Ills ; patriotic trouble. It follows that all railroads, whether built-by county aid or private subscription, by home or foreign capital, should ; be exempted from taxation: that whoever j buys a farm and spends thousands in improving It should t.e reimbursed !<>r his trouble by I ii'iii. ii.ui > ru i#i i lie i>. m 11 i 11 f; 11 u u i) hi uiicili| zen?, to aid in support of the Slate govern-1 ! tnent. while those whose adjacent property i lias heen thus cucliaiiced shoual be merciless I iy taxed upon this incrru-cd value.
