On Wednesday ot last week I had the pleasure of visiting Piedmont. It Avas my first. 'j1 visit to Clint placc since the factory has been C!1 established It is emphatically a factory 'S1* town. The land, dwellings, store-houses and "8 school building belong to the factory. The l'y stores arc rented out, and from the large stock }y on hand evidently do a thriving business. The factors' it-self is a splendid brick building. 1, I was informed that it was not damaged at all oy mc earinqunKU. 1 was snown lorougu n , by Mr. Rowel I who very kindly explained to 1SK me the various details connected with the ''u machinery. I was favorably impressed with 111 the appearance and demeanor of the operall~ tives. There is a large number of them, cousisting principally of boys and young women. . They are evidently well cared for fund enjoy or good health. A large new building is going >a" up on the Anderson, side of the river which )e" will about, double the present capacity of the mill. A large number of tenant-houses are a,1 also being built upon the same side. The buildine of the new mill will likely double lA the business and population of the town. ea Tliey have a good school-building and a flourishing school. The teachers are Mrs. Howell, !re and Misses Meta Trowbridge and Mamie Don'|n aid, all of whom are well spoken of.

The Democratic situation as we a iagnose it is this: h The South, New York and New j( ersey are for Cleveland and Thurnian. ? Vo consider New York and New Jerey as safe as Virginia or North larolina. n mi... mill tliic 1 111* L'iCCU'itU VWIU Uili nuuiu VM UUP ? asis : For (Cleveland, the South 153, t] few York 3'i, New Jersey 9, total 198; leeessary to an election, 201. The " ssured Cleveland States therefore tl ?ave him 3 votes short of a majorit}'. Sj 'he three needed votes he will get ^ rom either Indiana, Conneticut or lichigan. 1 We have great faith in Indiana, v jss faith in Connecticut and still less p n Michigan. The Democrats have mmeuse advantage in this. They ^ ieed only one of the three douotful h Itates, while the Republicans need liem all. The Democrats can conentrate on either of the three and ,'in if they capture that one. The Republicans must tight for all three of be States, and will lose unless they e: npture all three, To review the above somewhat, we , onsider New York safe, because it is t( n overwhelniiuly Democratic State. /mnuiK <if D(*nior>rat,ic defec- In ion and dissaltection combined to cut ^ Cleveland's vote and increase Blaine's ote in 18i>4. INot one of these causes P xists today. The Democracy is a lilted on Cleveland and on Hill, and Si lie light over local candidates will 011- u 7 serve 10 bring out u full vote. A ill vote in New York city and Brook- " fii means a big Democrtic majority, b 'he registration joints to a very full ote, and the '.'est judges look for a )emocratic majority below Harlem liver of ho,ODD. This majority it will e impossible to overcome North of the Lver?even admitting that the tariff [.-form agitation does not afFecttheBeubliean rural voters. We have full ';1 nd abiding confidence in the skill and tl laiiugemeut of Governor Hill, and he e) ealizes, of course, that it will mean . uin to him if Cleveland should be eaten?or, indeed, if Cleveland should w 1111 materially liehind the State ticket, tl Jovernor Hill will see to it that there ^ 4 110 knifing done and that everyliing runs together. New Jersey h as safe a Democratic " tale as New York in proportion to its y opulation. The local elections of last ^)( /eek show unexpected Democratic ains and indicate at least there is no tiling oir to be ex |>e<'ted in the Dem- 11 cratic vole. g As for the rest, we /'eel confident the v )emoera!.- Mill oary '.Indiana. The f -arty united, enthu?i:wi.ic, splenidly led and oganized from way-oack. 0 'lie .Stale pride in Harrison's nonii- tl at ion, which might have inured to 3( iepublican advantage is lost in the .nfoitunale record of the candidate on he labor i.-sue. There is every reason .V :?r believing lie will loose largely d mong the working men. The Demo- j, rats have a natural majority of from ,iiou to 1(),0U0 iu Indiana, and in our pinion will hold it. v Mr. Cleveland's election will be as- tl ured without Conneticut or Mulligan ? -and in ouropinion it is lucky itis so. ? 11 Connettieut the chances are about 15 veil between the parties. The Dem>crats have carried the State in the L int two Presideutial elections, by a & aajority ranging from'1,100 to 1,500? a lit small as it is, it has proved a stead ist majority. The .Democrats' are turdy fallows and true blue. They 'r ealize that every man's vote will be to eeded to carry the State, and every oc ote will be brought out. Tn Michi an the chances are about even, with lie drift in favor of the Republicans. m t should not surpise us to .see these ti: w<> States balance each other ?even to w ee both go One way Or the other. . Wc rely confidently on the South, . Tewj York and New Jersey, which 1,11 rill give Cleveland IDS votes. We f*.el tire lie will get enough to carry him (u ver the river from Indiana. The reliabilities are that he will carry lonncticut also? and it is not improb- (*( ble he will carry Michigan. to The outlook is bright and brightenng for the Democracy. .jj ?? il The Aujjiistn Exchange. 0f Augusta, Ga., October 10th, 1.SS8. er jbaksir:? sa Below you will find a copy of the ompilation of our Crop Report, as P1 romised. d? no the President and Members of the pi Awjusta Exchange: 3r Gentlemen Your Committee on t tatistics and Information beg leave , j make the following report respecting in lie condition of the growing Cotton tli :rop in the territory embracing the m bounties of Anderson, Abbeville, Edgefield, Lexington, Aiken and su tarnwell Counties in South Carolina, 1? nd the Counties of Newton, Morgan, B rreene.
