The Cowpens Centennial The 11th was a grand day for Spartanburg, the occasion being the Centennial Celebration of the Battle of Cowpens and the Unveil ing of the Statue of Gen. Daniel Morgan. The battle was fought the 17th of January, 1781, at Cow pens, Spartanburg County, four teen miles above the city. Gen. Daniel Morgan was the successful commander of the American forces at that battle. The battle ground being in an out of-tb-way place it' was determined to erect the Statue in the Publicv Square of Spartan burg City; and to have the Cele bration in May instead of January. The Mon-iment was erected by the original "Thirteen States"; the Statue (bronze) was presented by, Congress, and is the work of the distinguished sculptor J. Q. A. Ward. It is thought that fully 20,000 people attended the Celebration. Everything passed off pleasanti.: and on a grand scale"; there was not an accident nor a single disa greeable occurrence to mar the complete success of the day. The cere,monies consisted in an oration by Gov. Hampton, representing the S; athern States; Hon. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of Boston, representing the New England States, and Hon. W. H. Francis, of New Jersey, representing the Mid die States; the reading of a Cen tennial Ode; the Unveiling; and a g; nd review of the Military by Gun. Hunt of the U. S. Army. "Centennials" have been quite frequent since 1876, and there is no donbt that these occasions, where North meets South to celebrate the valor, the patriotism and the glo ries cf a common country, have done much toward re-establishing a sentiment of unity and fraternity among all sections of the country. The next Centennial will be that of Yorktown, Va., in October, which will be a grand affair. Ofmeers of State Press A ssocia tion.

Scott, the greatest railroad man in the country, has re cently had his third stroke of par alysis, each coming shortly upon the other. He is a man in middle life ; but the busy life he has led has been too much for human en durance. Lately Col. Scott has taken much interest in . >uthern 'railroads, and Southern enterprisesf *generally, Only lately he gave to the V irginia University $50,000. The following Executive nomina tions, among many others, have been confirmed by the Senate : Gen. James Longstreet, U. S. Marshalt for Georgia ; S. W. Melton, U. S. District Attorney for South Caroli na ; Absalom Blythe, U. S. Mar-t shal for South Carolina. The immigration to this country is larger now than ever at any pre vious time. Four thousand seven 1 hundred immigrants arrived at 1 Castle Gar-den, New York City, the 5th instant. Every incoming steam er brings a large number.t The nornination of Stanley Ma thews as Associate Justice of the .Supremae Court was songirmed by -the Senate the 12th by a majoritg of Car Factory. We would be glad to see the Car Factory movement carried to a suc sessful issue, and would do any- c :hing in our power to aid in it. It' s no use to write about the need >f factories and of diversified indus ries among our people-all agree 2ere. The only real question in ;his case is, Would a car factory at i Elelena pay the stockholders? And ve confess that we know nothing it all about it; haven't the remotest ,dea. We give the views of Mr. IcCaughrin and Mr. Parrish, who ire railroad men, and offer our col amns to anybody who has ideas on he subject. On last election day a young man it Indianapolis, Indiana, cheered for Jeff. Davis. He was instantly shot down and killed for it by an other young man. The slayer was tried a few days ago for it, and ac ciuitted. State News. Yorkville elected a "dry ticket" the 9th instant. Seventeen families of German immigrants-seventy-two persons -arrived in Columbia, via Charles ton, from New York the 11th inst. Drummers are taxed $1 a trip by the municipal authorities of Che raw. This is "small" in -two senses : it is a small tax,-and it is a small thing to tax the drummers at all. Berryman W. Hicks, a white man living near Cowpens, in Spartan burg County, killed his wife the 9th by: hooting her with a shot gun and stabbing her with a knife. He then cut his own throat three times, but failed to kill himself. He is now in jail, and the Sheriff will probably finish the job wish a rope. Capt. W. L. DePass, a lawyer of Camden, died suddenly at the Col umbia Hotel, Columbia, the 10th instant, in the 45th year of his age. His death was sudden, and was c-aused by heart disease. Capt. De. Pass was the man first challenged by Col. Cash last Summer. He ac cepted, but the duel was prevented by the arrest of Capt. DePass. FOR THE HERALD. Prohibiton-Proposed Call for Legislative Action.

I expect to have plenty o: exercise at noon keeping my little pu pils out of harm's way in going too near the scene of action; for when I i threaten-if they fail to obey injuzc e tions-to make wall ornaments o ' them by pinning them up by the ears the threat is received with such merry p.:als of laughter, that u quick! - uwarp f its iusignificance in havin the desired effect, and soon laughioe as merrily as any of them. CLARA LOUISE. FOR THE HERALD. Helena Car Shops-31inutes o Neeting. Pursuant to call a public meeting of citi zens of Ncwt,erry and Helena was held ir the Co'rt House Saturday afte-noon, 14tl instant. On motion of Mr. Geo. Johnston the meeting was orbanized by the electioi of the following officers: President, M. A Carlisle ; Vice-President, W. J. Parrish Secretiry, A. V. Hamiter, with R. H Greneker, Sr., and W. H. Wallace, Assist ant Secretaries. On motion of Mr. 0. L D Schumpert, Mr. Y. J. Pope was called or e to explain the object of the meeting. Mr Pope stated the obje.t to be to form a join stock company for the purchase of thf Helena Car Shops and of continuig thes( shops for manufActuring cars and other ar ticles. Mr. Pope spoke in favor of the pro ject. He said that the greatest objectior usually to undertaking an enterprise of thi kind was the cost of necessary preparations e the purchase of grounds, buildings, &c Tbis objection does not prevail in this case the preparations have already been made the shops are built and are in operation d and he had understood that the Columbi & Greenville Rail Road Company was will ing to dispose of these Shops on very favor e able terms for the purpose now in view. On motion of Mr. Geo. Johnstone, the , meeting called on Mr. R. L. McCaughrir for his views. Mr. McCaughrin said he wa glad to see this enterprise assuming a tun r gibie shape. It had been a source of regre to the Columbia & Greenville Rail Roa< 'Company to move their Shops from Helena but their combina:ious and business inter ests required it. He was not author zed lie said, by''the Company to speak on th< subject, bt: he felt safe in saying that thi Company will give very liberal terms; tha if a capital of $50u,000 be raised the Comn pany will lease the Shops, with the eightree: .acres of land, for a nominal snni so long a 'they are used for building cars ; it w ill als< .give spectial rates of freight on iron, wvoo< and other material thait would he trans ported to the Shops over its road, an< 'would otherwise do a great deal to encour S age the entetiprise. He said there is a grea ,demand for cars now-there is great activ .ity' in railroad matters-Northern capital i: Sbeing invested in Southern railroads, an< this section of country will be built up in r few years beyond our most sangnine expec t nations. He believed the enterprise, with f sufficient capital and a competent man a .the head of it, would succeed. On motion ot Mr. T. S. Moorman, Mr. W J. Parrish was called on for his views. He Ssaid that with sufficient capital there wai Sno reason why Car Shops at [Ielena shoulk not succeed and pay a handsome dividend We have the pine, oak and ash in abun dance in our midst; we are as near the irot Iand coal regions as miost of the Northerr or Western Car Shops ; we have skilled mechanics-and we only want the capital. lIr. Geo. Johnstone moved that a coin. mittee of seven be appointed, of which the - hairm'an of this meeting shall be Chair. Sman ex officio and the Vice-President a -member, whose duty i. shall be to take the matter into consideratiou, devise plans, gain information, solicit the co-operation o1 capitalis:s; and report at the next meeting of this body.

EDITORs : Please allow me space to report to your readers that up to this time I have had the pleas nrc of sending out 5,600 Beadings of a Petition asking our Legislature to pass a -law totally prohibiting the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits as a beverage in our State. These petitions are in more or less active cir culation in nearly every nook and cor ner of our Commuon wealth ; and I am almost daily receiving encouraging reports from the various sections of the field. I will be glad to send out as many more headings as c-at be used to ad vantage, and to reeive ocecasional re ports of progress from those engaged in the work. Let us give all our people the op portunity of expressing their desire on this great question, so that our law makers may know to what extent they can rely on the support of the public in enforcing whatever law they may enact.
