When the Newberry Cotton Mills were incorporated in 1882, many persons believed that the charter, like that of 1872, would never be of greater practical value than the paper on which it was printed. Our capital was timid, our people were not accustomed to manufac tures, and, as a rule, they knew lit tle about any other than real estate investments. Even the most san guine felt that, owing to the temper of our citizens and the novelty and magnitude of the enterprise, much patience and time and hard work would be required to raise the mon ey necessary for the erection of a factory. Results, however, have leaped beyond expectation. On ly a few months ago the corporators appointed a committee to receive subscriptions; at the meeting last Monday, the chairman of that com mittee reported that the subscrip tions reached the sum of $157,000 seven thousand above the limit at which the organization was to be effected. These are money sub scriptions; they are perfectly sound, and represent the very best busi ness men of our county. The company is now organized, and the character of the men who compose the Board of Directors, gives assurance of an economical and succeseful management of the concern. By experience they know the importance of labor and the val ue of a dollar. They are, without exception, men who, from a finan cial point of view, have avouched their merit by the best of all tests, the successful management of their own affairs. Representing at least two thirds of the capital stock, they look upon thh enterprise as an in vestment that must be conducted so as to yield a fair per cent. They are very different in mould, but they are alike in being earnestly and practically bent upon one end profit, with, of course, such inciden tal advantages as will necessarily flow to the community from the success of this enterprise. It has been shown that our favorable situation will be a set off against any disadvantages that may result from a lack of water power, and we believe that the success of the venture is now assured. All feel that the factory will bring incalculable benefit to the town and county. The only doubt that ever existed was as to the probability of success. * We think that doubt has been re moved, and iNewberry will soon lis * ten to the rush of looms and the hum of spindles. The Newes and Courier says: "'Not for a long time have the Denm ocratic prosp)ects in a Presidential election been as g'ood as now. We have to anchor ourselves manfully to the time-honored Democratic *- principle of 'A tariff for revenue only' to achieve a victory next year which will place the administration of the country in Democratic hands.' We may manfully, anchor ourselves to all the time-honored Democratic principles in the political calendar, and withal never see the presi dency. But the Newcs and Courier's prophetic utterances have an agree able flavor, and we are willing to see the anchor cast, and the ex * periment made. The Carolina Spartan says : "Our school buildings here are in a most dilapidated condition. They look from a distance like neglected barns that never did save anything in them." The gieat misfortune with most of' our school buildings is that they nev-er do have in them much else than a teacher and a number of unwilling urchins. While our - people are devoting so much time to public roads, it would be well for them to consider the kind of houses their children are taught in, and it possible begin reform and improve mnent here. Have the Greenville Newes and the Anderson Intelligencer sent the Railroad Commissioners to Co ventry? Strange silence ! The Carolina Spartan says Judge Witherspoon has just decided that debts for whiskey sold by bar keepers. may be collected. The New York Sun speaking of the National Convention of colored men to be held next fall, says: Here is the interesting thing about the proposed Convention: It is intended to be an organized ex pression of discontent with the po litical and social treatment of the colored people by their fellow-citi zens. The signers hold it be "an undeniable and lamentable fact that the present condition of the race is c insecure, and the future still more alarming ;" and the; bring against the white majority five distinct and specific charges. We condense the c several complaints: 1. Negro labor at the South is not fairly remunerated. The Southern negro is not protected by law in the collection of money due him. 2. In most parts of the country the negro does notlave a fair show in the public schools. 3. The negro is not protected in his civil rights, notwithstanding the laws passed by Congress. 4. His political rights are ignored. Six and a half millions of people are without representation in Con gress. 5. The negro does not get his share of Executive protection and encouragement. No fair minded man, black or white, will deny that if 'tiose alle gations are true it is time for united action on the part of the negroes of the thirty-eight States. They form about one-eighth of the entire pop ulation of the country. Equal rights are guaranteed them by the Coustitution. The laws are suffi cient for the purpose. If these laws are systematically ignored or eva ded, and the negroes kept out of full citizenship by a conspiracy of white office-holders, it is none too soon for an organized movement to secure just treatment. The colored people have a inillion and a quarter votes ; that fact lies behind any protest which they may make. The conclusion of the signers of this call is interesting : "According to the signs of the times the country is on the ev: of a great political revolution, and it be hoovcs us, as a race, to make our interests paramount to those of any party or sect ; that it is our duty to unite and strike out on some bold policy and line of action which will bring us nearer to the estate of full citizenship and power when this great revolution is over." A meeting of Barnwell farmers was held at Blackville last Thurs day, and 'The South Carolina Truck Farmers' Association" organ ized, its object being to promote the interest and develop the enterprise of fruit and vegetable growing in that section of the country. They will at once make arrangements with responsible parties with whom consignments can be made in the principal Northern and Western cities. The South Carolina Rail way Company, being anxious to aid in the development of the coun try, has arranged a special tariff for fruiLs and vegetables, putting the rates so as to realize but a very small profit for the company. On the 2nd, the Columbia Board of trade pledged $500 to enable South Carolina to take her place in the Boston Exposition next fall, and adopted a resolution asking the State Board of Agriculture to lend a-helpmng hand. We hope that the Stafe will be represented, but we cannot see that the Board of Agriculture has the authority to make an appropriation for that pur pose. The Board should not let the press force it to do what it has no right to do. Judge Cothran speaking of the report that he is a possible candi date for Congress, says, "As unwil lingly as I may be personally, to thrust my.- name before the p)ublic, it is nevertheless due to my of ficial position, to say most emphati cally that I have neither desire for the position indicated, nor the van ity to believe that my services as a member of Congress could in any wise be indispensable to the wel fare of the State." The Phtiladelphtia Becord speaks in commendation of Senator But ler, as a patriot and philanthropist. and says: We do not hesitate to aver that if he gives his mind to the Carolina roads, and succeeds in bringing to bear the power of the State in making and keeping in or der her public highways, he will have done a more essential service to his fellow-men than he ever did before. Extensive experiments are now making in our State, with silk worms. A great many silk worm eggs have been furnished to the commissioner of agriculture by the president of the Silk Growers' Association. Now let some enter prising. fellow sink money in a mul berry farm, lHe can do so effect ually, and at the same time furnish food for the "dear worms."

Men have always had some vague lea of its heating power, but of its ther mighty agencies and influences hey were largely ignorant.
