This mill will make Columbia pre-eminent as a cotton manufacturing center. Already three mills of the largest capacity are in operation, and the fourth, the Palmetto mill, is ready for work. The fifth will outclass 1 them all in size and capacity, and it is claimed will be the largest in the State and perhaps in the South.

Mr. Koon bas put in rock abutments at the creek and put down a bridge that be moved from across a little ditch on same road. This gives us a fine road and with no cost to the county excepting the feeding of con victs, captain and guards salary. Mr. Editor, you just ought to see Mr. Koon laying rock making the abutments at the creek. X tell ycu, he's a hustler. We are fully satisfied the people made no mistake when they elected him to the office of Supervisor as he certainly is the right man in the right place. He has as his Captain, Mr. Chailey Metz and we can safely say he knows just what to do to push things a long and with Mr. Joe Melz as guard, we think the prisoners are safe with good results to the county.

I1, is now settled that the Seaboard J Air Line people are dcterii-iued to ' enter Augusta. Cn, and for this pur- j pese tbey will build a direct air line from Columbia to Augusta "which j will shorten the distance between ' thesp two points by sixteen miles J Uingi-'g ihrm v ithin sixty-eight : miles of such o4her." Speaking about this line the Columbia State ( S-iVM ! { ''The liuc will go through tbc town j i of Aiken and utber points touched j ' will be Croft's Mills, Beaver Dam 1 and MerritU's Ibidgo in Aiken j county, and Clark's Mills and l\?cd- 1 ct's Store in Lexington county. On ; the map the line, taking the counties j of Lexington and Aiken as a rcct- < angle with Columbia at the center of ] one short side and Augusta at the < oth^r, will divide the fignre in two j practically equal parts and open up 1 a new territory. The road will cross I < the Carolina Midland between Seiv- j orn and Lightwood. If built it will j * ' -.1.1- i:? r I I fi:so. wiiu iLie new nue nuiu vaiiuui bid to Cheraw via Camden, make an j air liue from Augusta to Cheraw, j putting Augusta in very close con- t nection with the north. The possi- ] bilities of northern business via Augusta from connections at that city are grc-at. There are other possibilities connected with the buildiDg t of the line to Augusta. Perhaps the * Seaboard Air Lice wishes to carry { the southwestern freight business to I 1 O (. a port. a Those in a position to know say J the Seaboard Air Line is as deter- . mined to push this line through as it is to connect its main lino with the Florida Central and Peninsular system in the shortest possible time. ( 1 THE CAROLINA MIDLAND RAILROAD. 5 a "The rumored purchase of the ( Carolina Midland railroad by the Southern railway is an accomplished fact. Tomorrow the Southern Investment company, which holds all the stock and bonds of the Carolina Midland and the Seivern and Knox- viile railroads, will confirm arrange- j merits which have already been made J and will sell all these securities to the Southern Railway company. As soon as practicable thereafter [he officers of these roads will resign their positions and the Southern rail- i way management will appoint its own J] officers to fill the vacancies. Possession will be given immediately. Within a fortnight after this trans- * Per, and possibly within a week, tie Southern will begin building a line from Cayce's Junction across the river from Columbia and will run a line of about Iwcnty-livo miles, connecting with the Carolina Midland at Perry's station in tho comer of Aiken :ouuty. This line will soon bo com pie ted. These transactions mean that the Southern has adopted the Carolina Midland road as a link in its Florida extension from Columbia, and lis food as the Hdc to Perry's is completed it will givo Columbia short and direct communication with Black- j villc. Barnwell court bouse and Allendale, the pn sent southern terminus of the Carolina Midland. Subsequently the Southern will extend its . . i hue across the Savannah river, out if it shall be necessary to make a Florida connection before tbat is dor.e, it is understood ibat it will u-e the Charleston and Western i Carolina railway tracks from Allen- * dale to Yemassee, where it will Cu-n- { nect with the Plant System.'' If these two roads are completed i Lexington county will be well sup- I plied with railroads. There will be seven roads traversing her territory, and she can, therefore, offer unexcelled inducements for bome-seekers ' to settle among us in the way of pleasant sites for homes, rich and ( fertile lands adapted to the growth of fruit, corn, grain, cotton, rice, gar- , den truck, tobacco and for stock . raising, and in fact, everything else that will grow and make in a climate of the same temperature. 1 * I Protection and Southern Industries. i American Economist. J Sines the return of prosperity ' under Protection, as exemplified in the Ding'.ey law, many factories have been built and inauy new enterprises started in the Southern States. The people of the South are waking up to the value of m mufacturiDg companies and are willing to make great efforts to secure the establishment of such industries in the South. A i commercial club has been organized ' in Greenfield, Tennessee, for the purpose cf promoting industrial enterprise. The dispatch which announced the formation of this club added: "The people of this com- I munity want manufacturiuginterests I of any and all kinds, and they are ! now ready to offer liberal inducements to get them." As soon as manufacturing industries become established in the South ?and at the present rate of commercial progress that time is not far distant?the people of the South will i wake up to a realizing sense of the i value and necessity cf a Protec'ivo j Turin'. The Lour has struck for the I disappearance of a "solid South" united to support free Trade. The j Southern people will not, merely for j the sake of loyalty to a false theory! loug adhered to, consent to give up ! the great prosperity which has come ; to them through Protection in ex i change fcr the industrial ruin which ' resulted from the "first step" toward j Free Trade taken in lSUt.'' New V.'ik has followed the exam j pie of some of the other States and abolished the custom of kissing the j Bible on the administration of oaths. Regardless cf Age.
