Jhb Printing neatly and elteaply executed ftitV Neeesslty compel? us to adhere strictly to th? requirements of Cash Paginent?. Manufactories. Thia subject is agitating Mia publio mind all ove? this and other Southern Slates. That the South has many ad vantages over the North for manufacturing profitably is seen and generally admitted, in point of climate, of raw material, of timber, of cheapness of labor and living, not to Bpeak of the number and accessibility of water powors. These advantages havo given rise to much discussion by tho press of late years, but fhe want of oopital has provoated, what all admit would bo profitable, from taking tangible shape. Tho fruits of thoso oft repeated opinions 'aro now laking hold of tho publio mind and the manufacturing development of the South will advance rapidly in tho next ten years. A littlo surplus money is accumulating in cvory county, whioh as it inoroascs will not only seek investment, but will result in manu factories na tho ono most likely to return a good profit. Eolerprisos of this kind no longer noed tho advooaoy of tho press lo presorvo a recol lection of thom and their advantages, bul money, selfdntorest, thc motivo power in the material world, has mado them a subject of publio agitation and will soon moko thom sub? jcots of publio action. Wo alluded to this spirit in our Inst issue and published extracts from our exchanges showing the current of publio opi nion. The items given below point In thc same direction and give reasonable hopo that tho day is not far distant when by the judicious invest ment of tho profits of our agricultural staplo we may doubl? or quadruple its valuo through ma chinery run at homo and by homo oapital. By homo capital we mean both that created boro and that induced to come here for investment because of the benefits promised. Generally speaking among Individuals tho rloh kuow and care very little about the trials and difficulties, .the hardships and sufferings, the struggles and failures of their poor noighbors. They all however watch thoir successes and as a man prospers he finds friends where he never dreamed of them and when he no longer needs them. So with communities. For fiftoon years tho North has indulged in hypocritical cant about tho negro and tho proper way to Soulhorn re cuperation. The fact is tho North profera tho poverty of thc South to its development, and it they can destroy confidence in the security for property in our local governments, so as to provont tho iuflux of capital and can keep our productions and expenses at a lovel, they can still flourish in clover and grow richer. This however they cannot do, and as tho surplus oapital in tho South goes into manufactories it Will rcoeivo large accessions from Northern capital. Tboy know well and apprcciato cur advantages over theirs and whoa onoo tho lido Of manufacturing enterprise sets fairly ia they will bo among tho foremost to become partici pants in the fruits of it. Until this happens by our growing wealthy and independent at homo, their feelings and interests alike withhold their aid and influence When under the absence of a usury law money commanded hero from 18 lo 80 per cent,, against 4 to 6 per cont, in New York, it did not como hero for loan or investment on tho best of security. In foot it could now bc hod hero ot 8 per cent, moro readily limn al 18 then. Wc were then poor, needy and distressed; wc aro now becoming prosperous and happy; in faot independent of tho North and of Northern oapital so far ns concerns our living and develop ing cur resources. There is enough work in tho world for all, and ovcry seotlon oan^prospcr and grow rloh, but tho South hos advantages which in limo will make her not only a wealthy but desirable section to live ia. Tho firm hold tho iden of manufacturing has taken in tho people of this Stato is seen from the following items: lt. Ss a fixed fact that Camden will in due timo bo blessed with n cotton factory. .Subscriptions are being mado and it ls thought that at least $50,000 will havo been secured by the first day of March next. **The new cotton factory ot Chariotto will soon bo supplied with 3,200 spindles, employ? lng fifty hands and consuming live bales of cotton daily. If as many colton factories aro built in this Stato ns aro now talkod about and under way, South Carolina will yot ho, come, to a largo oxtcnt, a manufacturing State. Tho Langley Manufacturing Company in this State bas doctored fi?o per cont, dividend out of tho profits of tho Inst six months, making cloven por cont, paid by this oom? pony to its stockholders for tho y oar 1880. The Camperdown Mills, in Greenville, aro unable to fill thoir orders with tho prosont force omployod, nod tho superintendent is foroed to run all night ns woll as nil day. Ho has issued circulars colling for two hun dred and fifty additional operatives to whom good wogos and steady work aro promised. Tho factory building at Rook Hill has boon finished, and tho machinery is arriving and being placed in position. Tho Iferald soys alargo quantity of shafting and a number of cards arrived a few days ago, and will bo put in thoir proper position at onoo. Tho superintendent of the factory is of tho opin ion that the mills will ho in readiness to be patin operation by the last of April. Just now there is a widosproad and deep feeling prevalent amongst our peoplo throughout tho Stato to foster tho manufac turing interests of tho country. Tho last Legislature ohartored ssvoral corporations of the kind, and the companios are moving for ward. Charleston is happy in the immediate prospect of two ootton factories nod oven n third is talked of. Tho boginning of the Pelaor Company is auspicious. Of tho $400,000 oapital stock $300,000 was sub scribed tho first day the books woro opened. The Charleston Company is headed by some Of the wealthiest wen in tho low country and its stook will go equally rapid. Tho Clifton Oompany of Sporlanburg County has lately increased its oapital stook from $200,000 to $500,000, and ao much confidence it there io the euccoss of t ho n ow oom pony (bet $100, 000 of tho new stock wa? token by the di ?reotors present ot tb? meeting which, inereus 'od tho ?took. The ?Uo of ibo Piedmont Factory ba? been roocntly mero than doubled* and tho people ? of the 8tato may congratulate themsehss that they now have the largest faotory in one building in the Sooth. It will nae 12.000 bales of cotton a year, and one hundred thousand dollars of wagos will be paid to fte ?operativo?. The-daily capacity of the milla will be thirty-two thousand yards of ?loth. The new maohlnery will bo put in os speedily os posible, and people aro moving io every day to oommenco making cloth. This factory is ruo altogether by water power, and so il .paye a very high per cont on tho monoy invested. Our Products, Labor, Lands, &c. We have heretofore roferred to the valut of various loading products of agriculture in this and: other States and tho rel uti vo cost of labor by tho month. We will now'oom? paro tho relative valuo of lands In this and other States as gathered and compiled from various sources. The average, valuo ol ?doored and timbered lands is higher in Now Joreoy than In any other State, tho formet rating at 982.42 por nero and tho latter ai $50.82. Tho lowest avorage value of cleared land? is in Alabama, being $6\52 audi of tim bered lands in Florida, being three dol?an and throo cents por nore. Tho avorage volui of cleared lands in South Carolina is eigh dollars and sixty four conts and of timboret lands six dollars and twenty four conts pe nero, only threo Slates, Georgia, Alabami and Mississippi, showing a lower avorng value of cleared lands, and nine States val uing timbered lands lower. All the State ahow an increaso in valuo in 1880 over the of 1879 from ono and a half por coot. b twenty oight por cent., the increase in Soul! Carolina being niuo per cent. 1 Wo hnvo already seen that tho wages c labor in South Carolina, both with and with out board, avorngo lower than ia any othc Stato, whilo her products por aoro aro a most on a par with thoso of North Carolin and Florida and higher than of some of tl Southern States. With these fuots, approx mutely trno, our State and county offer fa advantages to settlers for making money, n to speak of tho social and moral odvontag to be found in all parts of it, nor tho great development it is susceptible of tho way of manufactures. Wo have alwn; held that all things considered tho South w a prcforablo country to tho North or Wet and ot all events ono who has a homo ai tho moans to make a otmpotoncy hero shou not sacrifico theso in tho hopo of bottern his condition in another country. Mon grows on trees nowhoro. It is mudo and a cumulated only by industry and ooonom and if theso bo brought into full opcrati success is certain. Last Friday Night's Lecture i the College Chapol by Prof. J. ] Riley. Although tho Professor said bc would i name his subject, yet his treatment of it was lucid that each one of tho hearers could givt a name. Tho writer would formulate it th "Tho relation of the moral aenso (conaoionco; tho intellectual faculties and Ibo necessity moral culture to a proper intellect ital trainin, Ho showed that the conscience is ignored t great extent by many who undertake the w< of education and the whole stress laid on purely mental training, aud tho consequent the exaltation of thc mind over (ho conscien The natural result is puro reason, instoat thc moral prinoiplc, becomes tho guide of I Man is in a dangerous condition when the t covcrics of reason, tho mero product of understanding, becomes the law of aol instead of tho righteous rulo, tho principle which Ho imbeded in bis moral nature. Il cultivated shrewdness of the intellect he is* al loss to find reasons to justify him in any cot ho may propose lo himself. The Creator g us (ho intellect not. to govern but to bc govei by tho moral sense or conscience. Tho reo so many receiving the highest mental trait aro fruitful tn nothing good to thcinsoivei others is that in their education thc conscic has been neglected and an undue magnifica given to Hie intellect. All thc exercises w thc student must undergo in (ho procer. I education ought to bc kept continually ut the direction aud control of cousoience. In way diligence and perseverance in study bec a conscientious duty. In keeping tlio cotisai of tho student on tho throne and makin regulato his wholo conduct in preparing reciting his lessons Hes the success of teacher. As an illustration of this thc oat Dr. Moses Waddell was oiled. In his celobi 80I100I in Abbeville county many great and men received their training. When n stu entered this school (ho first effort of tho D was to gel oontrol of the young man's consoh not by parading before tho school a long 1 rules, but by bringing a few simple trull bear on the conscience. Thus on firet quaintanoc, the most favorable time for i nv sions, ho got hold of Iho student's conso and he was careful novcr by word or aol 0 to let go (his hold, and thus he educated signal success. In the next place il was shown thai greatest incentives to diligent application 0 part of students aro brought to boar on through tho channel of tho moral sense. 1 and temporal rewards that feed thc van tho youthful mind are ruinous in their tend They afford a temporary stimulant lo (ho n energies, but all suoh motives lo study soo their inOuenoe and (hen tho mind is in d of sinking down into hopeless apathy or | itself up to somo ruin?os pursuit. The desideratum is thc student should beactua his studies by motives that shall contre aftor life. Let this motivo power come fountains that aro liable to dry np and win stream ceases to flow tho mind is left w propelling force and rusts out hy inaction, let tho stream that Alls Ute pier bead issut the eternal spring of man's moral no' stream which no seasons of drought cai exhaust, (hen (hero will be no stopping for the mind, hot tho moving foroo bo di and graduated by (he unerring prinoi] right and thero will bo ? continual progr and nssiodlation of the mind lo tho truth it reaohes (be grand and glorious center i that is Iruo, beautiful and good, tho ovorl I word, thc eternal Logos, the sum and sub j of all morality and truth. . . Again the speaker showed that the censotonce is th? regulator of tb? ?hole intelteotuat and emotional nature of mar>, fin a right education this regulator must be kept properly adjust cd. Just aa a ?lock or watch to mada to koop the right tiru o by means of tba regulator, so the moral nature fa to maa. He iso** rua right, ba noni keep th? right time, ba won* fulfill the design of his Creator, unless tba regulato? la kept lu fix and exerts a proper controlling ln~ fhionoooves all the movement a of the man. Tba moral sense waa also compared to tba key st OR? of an arab os the oh let oorner atone in a building, la areblteolure thara ascertain principles that must ba observed, otbeawlsa howovcr Bkilfull tb? builder, the labor will be in vain. In the erection of a? arch the whole thing turna upon the proper adjustment of a single a tono. Leave this out and however beau tiful the workmanship andi however lt may attraet tho notico of those passing by, lt is goad for nothing. It will support no superstructure and when put to the test lt gives way and crumblos to the earth. So lt is with the educa tional building. The key stone in this arch is the moral sause. Let this be out of placo and the eduoation will prove a failure. It will not, cannot, sustain the weight of responsibility de volving upon lt. The superstructure of after life must necessarily crush it. Is there not danger that our wiso and learned builders may not only overlook this stone but may notually reject it altogether as unworthy of a plaoe In the building? Ought we not to begin to look after this thing wbloh other builders may rrjeotl Let us hero at least, in our two colleges, make il tho ohief oorner stone, that whloh will give not only symmetry and beauty to our work, bul also strength and durability. Let it bo oui study to give this Ha right plaoe and then w< eau build with oonfidenoo tho? our work wil endure any strain to whioh it may be subjected; thea wo can confidently hope to seo the edifice ; whoso foundations we havo helped to lay aright I assuming proportions more beautiful and grand ns ycai s roll on, rising higher and higher, uni i wo shall see tho cap st ono placed upon il by thi divine band, amid shouts of approval, "grace grace unto it." There were other views presented by thi spouker, to notioe whioh would make this im perfect sketch too long for a plaoe in you paper. We hope our oltisens generally wil encourage and foster the Walhalla Lyceum. I they learn nothing more they will have an op portunily of knowing what talent wo have ii our midst. In thlB able address of Prof. Riley' we heard tho product of mature thought, th out-going of a heart in deep sympathy with th great educational movement of our day and a earnest appeal against thc divorcement of hea and heart in the training of our youth. Who wo heard the speaker's oarncst words wo sal lo ourselves is it poBsiblo we havo here in Wal halla men of broad oulture, holding views i advance of the ago, as Prof. Riley has show In lila excellent loot ure, and wo are carolessl covering our diamonds in tho sandt REPORTER. Upland Rico. MKHSUS. EDITORS: I see in your last week issue soniet King said about planting upland ric If you think my experience, though small, woo' bo of any value, I will givo it. I received fro the Agricultural Department at Washington la spring something less than a quart of rice sc? o?lled silver hull, but not saying whether u? land or lowland rice. I determined however give il a fair (rial. I gave tho sec* to u cropper who also obtained a gallon of comm? lowland rice seed and both varieties were plant? side by side on one-fourth of an aero of lo branch bottom, tho upland rice planting abo one-third Hie area, or one twelfth of an aor Thc rows were drawn off about twenty Inch wide and prepared and cultivated Ihc same cotton, the hoeing being eomewhal tediot ! something Uko sorghum. Tho yield was 8 bushels of lowland rico and nine bushels upland rico. So you see that tho upland ri yielded a little over ono hundred bushels p aore. Thc preparation for both was thc sai and neither was manured. I would howey advise (hat it be fertilized so as to mako mature early. I havo no seed to disposo having given away all that I can spare.

These points woro argued at some 1er but woro overruled and tho judgment of lower .Court confirmed. J migo Kora' holding that Section 7 was germano to title of tho not, but that oven if the aot \ unconstitutional in that paragraph, in other respects it might bo constitutio That stook boing driven on land might bo determined to bo a trespass under uot.

That tho third ground is equally un able. , Notice of appeal to tho Supreme Cou tho State was given.

Recorder Pringle, of Charles ton, has decided that tho law against imprisonment for debt does not inhibit imprisonment for non Sayment for taxes. Quoting from lr. Cooley on taxation, he says: "Taxes are not contracts between party and party, either expressed or implied, but they aro the posi tivo acts of tho government through its various agents binding upon thc inhabitants, and to the making and enforcing of which their personal consent is not required.
