mornings, since in one of these

of the field and the situation

A few days ago nn account was i
published in The State of the cessation
of work on the big Warren
cotton mill at Athens Junction,
because of the failure of many of
the smaller stockholders to pay up
their subscriptions. It was stated
in the article, however, that
the president of the company expected
to have everything in shape
in a few days to go ahead. This
has been done. Work was resinned
yesterday, and the company
hopes to have no more trouble.?

It will be perceived that Colonol
Shell is not too dead to feel remorse
for one of his sins, and that,
even granting that lie is a ''political
corpse," he insists that he is
not "sullieiently decayed** to fructify
the soil of Laurens for Colonel
Irhy's political growth.
Colonel Shell's pen has an
abandon c(pmUin<r that of Colonel
Irbv's tongue and we grieve to
sav that his phrases are somewhat
1
unparliamentary. This is a circumstance
sure to hurt Colonel
Irbv's feelings, and of course we
'deplore it: but what would yoci
havef Col Irbv has used the ''syndicate
papers" to bury Col Shell
without his consent, and, as oue
of those papers, we are in fairness
