"i TO THINK OWN SELF BK TRUE AND IT MUST FOLLOW AS THK NIGHT THK DAY, THOU OANS'T NOT THEN BB FAME TO ANY MAN. BY JAYNBB, SHELOR, SMITH ? STECK. WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA, APRIL 17, lOOl. NEW SERIES, NO. 150.-VOLUME LIL-NO. IO. QOTTCP rwi TUKim IM Thc Marvelous Industrial Deve South Carolina Stands [Col. JnracB L, Orr, i Before tho war the South confined herself almost entirely to agricul tural pursuits, in consequence of her rich soil, salubrious climate and ownership of slaves. Sho prospered unddr this system, and liiere was no section in the Union which showed greater wealth or a higher stato of culture aud Civilization than she boasted. After tho war the disor- I gani/.ation of labor made it necessary for her to turn to other avenues and after experiments in different lines, by 1882, it was discovered that our climate was particularly fitted for cotton manufacturing, and tho white labor of South Carolina could be taught to run machinery as weil ns any in the country. There were some mills running prior to tho war which woro fairly successful, notably Granitovillo Manufacturing Com pany, Bates ville, Saluda Factory, and some others, but they wero very small compared with the present mills. In 1873 the Piedmont Manufac turing Company was organized, and by 1881 had demonstrated beyond question that we had every pre requisite necessary for success. Clif ton, Paoolet and Pelzor, all within a radius of thirty miles from Pied mont, were started, thus giving an impetus to tho business, which has gathered force year after year until tho climax was reached in 1000, when seven million dollars was added to tho manufacturing capital of South Carolina alone. The advantages accruing to any community having a cotton mill are BO apparent that it is only necessary to mention them ; with cotton at 7 cents per pound, tho community re ceives $35 for oacli balo of cotton, which must be distributed between the landlord, the labor and the mer chants ; whereas, if this cotton is made into 4-yard goods and sold at 6 cents per yard, after deducting thc Waste, wo have $87 for thc same bale of cotton, which is distributed, not only to the same parties who received tho proceeds of the raw cotton, but tho operatives, thc farmer, tho mer chants and the stockholders como in for $52 a bale more. If all tho cot ton in South Carolina were manu factured into 4-yard goods instead of receiving twenty-eight million dollars for the raw material, wo would re ?oive seventy million dollars. The same rule applies to tho whole South. It is tho old story of a community which sells its product in the raw state making less clear money than tho others which manufacture it and sell it ready for the market. The development in cotton manu facturing in the counties of Spartan burg, Greenville and Anderson has been most marked and they do not produce enough cotton by two hun dred thousand bales to furnish the spindles. While the South pro duces about 05 por cent of all tho cotton used in the world, site runs only 6 per cent of tho spindles of the world ; notwithstanding this fact, the talk of driving the cotton rn i I ls in thc European countries and the New Kngland Stales out of the busi ness amounts te nothing, for they have some advantages which it will take several generations lo acquire. Though New Kngland is 1,600 miles from tho center of tho cotton States, sho has such freight facilities, to conon and goods, that the South has practically no advant age over her in this respect, for her railroad freights are so arranged that you can ship cotton from Texas to tho interior New langland mills at a cheaper rate than you can ship it to the Carolina mills, and there arc many points in thc lower part of this State where the freight to Liver pool, lOngland, is little more than to tho mills in the upper part of the State. Thc cotton mills in the South have built up communities and paid thc stockholders good interest on their investments, but thc greatest thing which they have accomplished has been the employment given lo thou? ?ands of white people who had to depend upon ' rming on rented land for a living. Tho wages which tho planter can pay for farm work arc regulated hugely by what ho can hire negro labor for. Tho result has mr az- 1 THE JNTH. lopment of thc Last Ten Years, Third in United States, in "Thc Exposition."] been that thc white people who work on the farms had to como in direct competition with the negroes, ao that they had great difficulty in making moro than a bare living for them selves and families. The cottoj? mills opened to them a new industry in which tho negro did not enter ns a competitor, and thc result is that they not only make much hotter wages than on the farm, but there is constant employment for those who wish work, and all the advantages of churches, libraries and social fea tures which they could not enjoy on isolated farms. It has been said by many foreign ers who have visited this country that tho purest type of Americans can be found in the South, because we have had very little immigration to this section and very little ad mixture with foreigners. This fact accounts for the help ip thc South ern mills being in many respects far superior to that in New England, for they aro natives and to the manor born, with the same interests, tradi tions and impulses that all othei Southerners have, and while they arc not all good, as a class I believe thal they will compare most favorably ir intelligence, moral character and in dustry with any other elasa of labor ing people in the world. New England has been cursed ant is to-day seriously handicapped bj labor unions which interfere iii thc management of the business, ant stir up strife between the employer) and the operatives; they seek to pit every operative on the same basil and stamp out all ambition and in dividuality ; they interfere in elec tions and have the politicians con stan tl y in fear of them. We have never been cursed witl these organizations, as experienc shows that they have never thrive) exeept in communities compose? largely of foreigners, and it is to bi hoped that they will continue to giv us a wide berth. Tho South is tho only section i this country which has never beei hampered by labor laws, and I attri bute in a large measure the wonder ful development of the cotton mi! industry to this fact, for New Eng landers have put their money in th Southern mills, rather than in th New England enterprises, becauti they feel that the officers who ai placed in charge of the enterprise will have tho management of thei rather than the "walking delegate, demagogues and socialists. All of the early mills in thc Soul were constructed for what is calle coarse goods, but as experience wt acquired and skin developed tho have gradually been built for lim goods, and the majority of mil built in the South within thc pai two years have been for liner gradi of goods, many of them now runnin exclusively on numbers 30 to 4 Tho principal advantage which tl South enjoys is longer hours ar consequently less cost per pour) therefore, she has an advantage ov her competitors in the North, hen that fabric which represents tl largest expense for labor is the mc inviting field for the Southern mil Just at this time the cotton indu try is in a very depressed conditio owing to the wars in China and A rica, the plague in India and oth dist tubing causes ; a large amount our export trade has been cut o Our production being much larg than the supply necessary for tl country alone, goods have been pill up, and have affected the market that the margin of profit is excet ?ugly small, but theso matters i temporary, and when these eau have been removed, trade will crease, prices improve and the he /.on brighten, for all kinds of lui ness have {lucinations, and cot! manufacturing is probably less si jeot to them than almost any Otho Our own people do not realism immense strides which have Ix made in the last ten years, so it. not surpi ?sing that outsiders do know.

Admiral Endicott, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, has closed thc arrangements for the pur chase of land, securing the Lawton tract for ?50,000, or about ?200 an acre. This, with other tracts, will give '125 acres for tho new station, beside 725 acres of marsh land in thc vicinity. Tho deeds are being drawn, and when they are passed upon by the law officers the board of naval officers will he named to devise plans. It is expecled that work will be actually under way on tho new buildings and other features of the station by next autumn. CONSUMPTION <? Tho Chinese Indemnity. Washington, April 0.-The State department has heard further from Mr. Rockhill, our special commis sioner at Pekin, touching the effort making there to reach an agreement respecting the indemnity to bo de manded from Chinese government. Mr. Rockhill'* principal effort, act ing under direct instructions from Secretary Hay, is to induce the ministers of other powers to keep down the total of their claims to the amount which the financial experts, headed by Sir Robert Hart, have decided to bo within tho ability of China to pay. The United States government has felt that on no account should the total indemnity claim exceed 10,000,000 pounds sterling, and has steadfastly sought to make that figure the outside limit of the claim. For itself tho State Department claims ?25,000,000 in demnity and has supplied Mr. Rock hill with data for thc presentation of an itemized account showing the expenditures made hy the govern ment of the United States in the transportation of our military con tingent in (mina, its maintenance there, and the just claims of the missionaries who were American citizens and suffered in property ami person from thc Boxer outbreak, r?v- -- Kducnto Your Ilowols with Cu?caret?, Candy Cathnrtlo. onro constipation forover. 10o, 26c.

J. H. Luckie. At the Unveiling of a Monur Woodward, the Victin [Republished by At tho request of a gentleman liv ing near Seneca wo publish the fol lowing address, delivered by Dr. A. K. Durham at Midd lo Tygor church, in Spartanburg county, on Oct ocr 19th, 1870: Til K AOJMtHSS. I Friends and Fellow-Citizens : Wo have met hero to-day to unveil a monument erected by tho pcoplo of Spartanburg and adjoining counties in honor of female worth and to tho memory of Miss Frances Woodward, who fell i victim to death at tho hands of a demon in human form, while nobly defending tho beautiful ' templo of virtue, sacrificing oven life itself rather than that God-given and heaven-horn principle with which tho Creator endowod woman, tho noblest pieco of his handiwork. Although this occasion ends all formality in connection with tho re spect wo owo to tho departed Chris tian woman, that handsome monu ment will stand a lasting memorial of our eternal and unchanging ap preciation of her who gained a fat greater victory for a principle far more sacred and precious than ever was fought for or gained by tho captain of any marshalled host. Al exander the Great, Washington, Na poleon, and oven our own immortal Lee, with his comrades, never fought for or gained a greater victory than that one which was gained by the immortalized maiden whose unfortu nate and sad death is tho occasion of this largo gathering together of a righteous people, whose righteous indignation was fully attested at a previous time and place, not far from ! thc one wc now occupy in reaping vengeance upon tho perpetrator of a j crime which devils themselves would damn. A monument far moro lasting than the one which stands in this church yard has been erected in and now stands upon the bottom of (if there is any bottom to) the bottomless pit, upon which even tho devil is ashamed to look, and with which the vilest of tim inmates of hell would shudder to associate ; a monument which will last while tho wrath of God shall burn to remind thc lost inhabitants of keen despair, of tho eternal punishment of one who com mitted the most diabolical deed ever committed by any being on or be neath the earth. How different the ono upon which wc now look, though beautifully formed and carved of solid marble, designed to remind future genera tions of how sacred a Christian wo man regards the noblest virtuo with which God has endowed her, time will tell the tale, and, like every thing material, its beauty and even self will disappear. Hut while this is true of timo and timely things, in heaven there stands a monument that shall forever re main with the redeemed of the Lord We Pay We have adopl our store by which are enabled to real sure to get your ch of your cash pure sides of it. Come i our system to you, O'? Wa J! 0 lasa Walhall; nent at thc Grave of Frances i of a Human F'iend, Special Request.] to remind those who hilve come through groat tribulation and washed their robes and nando them white in tho blood of tho Lamb, with nil the angels that surround the throne of glory, and even God himself, (if I may uso the expression,) of the groatnees and glory of His work in creating woman and endowing her with principles lasting as Himself. Virtue, truth and honesty-sisters -for these live ; and, if need be, for these die ! Woman has always been, is now, and always will be, moro highly honored than man ; created not of tho dust of the earth, as ho was, but formed of him whom God had created in His own image. Woman, tho perfection of beauty and loveli ness, was given to man for the ex press purpose of increasing Iiis hap piness on earth, and the better fit ting him for heaven ; and he who cannot receive her as such falls far short of conceiving of the purpose for which she was made. Tho author of all things, who had dipped His hand i.:to chaos and sprinkled into space from every fin ger millions of bright shining stars, th us decking the sky with diamonds for man's admiration, so beautiful and expressive of His power and glory as to call forth the beautiful sentence from tho inspired King of Israel, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and tho firmament showell) forth his handiwork," formed woman for man's glory, reversing llie order of beauty, when n differ ence was made, as in the case of the ; bird and tho butterfly, and giving to tho female more than to the male, I and thereby honoring woman more than man. Higher honors wero yet to bo conferred. To woman the honor was given to bear and rear the Redeemer of the World, and thus become the mother of the Son of God ; to her it was granted to be the last at tho cross, to shed a tear in sorrow and sympathy for Him who was suffering as never roan suf fered, and dying as never man died -but like, a god ; to her it was given to be first at the sepulchre, and to proclaim, in a shout of sacred joy, "Ho is risen !" In good works-always abound ing and never failing to do her duty -woman has been faithful to the end. She has ever been ready to minister to the wants of suffering humanity. As mother, sister, wife or daughter, her influence upon men for good is like that of the sun upon tho earth. Without the light ol thc fun, imagine the darkness! With out his heat, how cold I Without his actinic principle all things would droop and die. Encouraging, sus taining, and even defending, has woman's power accomplished, if not directly, indirectly, deeds of valor and works sublime. Liberty, civil and religious, is but the offspring of )ividend ! :ed a new system in our cash customers ize a dividend. Be Leek for the amount hase and read both in and let us explain BAU KN IC HT. C?9 Sa CB woman's solf-saorif?oing, horoio and uu<lyint; devotion to right. Though sometimos contending for the right by being overpowered by physical force, woman, a8 well a? man, fails, as both did in contending for tho "Lost Cause," which is like that causo and Bocond only to it, which, to all hitman appearances, seomed to bo lost on Calvary, but triumphed in tho resurrection of Jesus. So will truo lib?rty, and wo will one day bask in thosunshino of a government equal, if not superior, to the ono founded by our fathers. Tho straggle ! Who can desoribe it? A dolicato female attaoked by a ruffian in a hand-to-hand fight, con tending for tho sacredness of female virtue, is overpowered and falls a victim to the vilo passions of-I will not speak his name-but not, bo it said to her eternal praise and his everlasting damnation, until a pistol ball is shot into her naked breast and her throat out from oar to ear. This struggle rises in sublimity far abovo ibo hardest fought battle in tho "Lost Cause." "Oh, God, tlio nameless horror, tho mad roar That nerved tho torturod maiden! tho despair That from hor palo throat wrung tho pit eous moan That should havo touched with ruth a heart of stone" Tho scene ?8 appalling and too hor rifying to dwell upon. A fair young girl, in the bloom of youth, lies pros trato upon the cold ground, welter ing in her own blood, far from home and friends. Three days and nights tho body remained alone in tho dark woods, untouched by tho boast of thc lield or the fowls of tho air, guarded only by angels. "NO tender hand to smooth tho silkoi hair And robo tho cold form for its lowly rest No loving oyo to shed tho pitying toar Above tho pierced but puro and gonth breast Only tho dowy toara of Heaven foll On that palo clay, which angels guardo* won." But let us turn to another Bcene tho angel hand bearing away fron earth to heaven, on thoir snow; wings, to meet loved ones waitinj and watching nt the beautiful gate tho pure spirit of her, washed white than snow, to whose funeral sormoi you have just listened, singing a they go : "Thero is a land of puro delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes tho night, And pleasures banish pain. "No chilling winds nor poisonous brcat Can reach that, healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death Aro felt and feared no moro." No triumphant conqueror ever r< turned home with such honors as lu spirit returned to God, who gave land redeemed it by the blood of II own Son.

Pi turo to yourselves the coming i Jcsur., tho saints rising from tl dead, mortality putting on immo tali ty, corruption incorruption, ar all singing : "The year of jubileo is come, Rotnrn, ye ransomed sinners, homo." Although Frances Woodward h passed away, tho principle for whii she died remains as firmly fixed thc hearts of our women as the eve lasting hills, and they, like she, won sacrifice all that is fl ear on oart even lifo itself, rather than surre der tho virtue which makes them t climax of creation.

Some Facts Concerning thc ] Death of Ex-Presiden [From the Now On January 1, 1802, thoro woro living five ox-Presidents of the United States-Van Buren, Tylor, Filmoro, Pierce and Buchanan. Now thc death of Benjamin Harri son leaves only one ex-President Grover Cleveland. Gen. Harrison spent just eight years as an ex-Presi dent. When John Quincy Adams re tired from tho Presidenoy after serving as Senator, minister to ling land and Scorotary of Slate, it was suggested that ho become a member of tho House of Representatives. He replied that to be chosen a Selectman by the vote of tho people would bo an honor, and for sixteen years until the time of his death, he represented his district in Congress. 'Ho died with the harness on his back, for his fatal illness attacked him as ho arose in the House to address tho Speaker. Andrew Johnson was elected a Senator from Tennessee sometime after tho end of his Presidential term, but he lived to servo only a few days of the special Bession of thc Senate. Most of tho Presidents havo re tired to lives of comparative idle ness. George Washington led the lifo of a country gentleman on his estate at Mount Vernon. Ho gave a certain amount of time to thc reor ganization of the army when war with France threatened, but ho con tented himself with the management of his plantation and tho simple amusements of a country life. Martin Van Buren retired to his country seat in Columbia county, N. Y., and became almost a hermit. There have been several instances Uko this. The most recent was Chester A. Arthur, who, liko Van Buren, was disappointed at his failure to achieve a re-election and secluded himself from all but his intimate friends. Buchanan was a recluse for seven years after his return to private life. Ile had been much abused toward the clo80 of his term and he sought the quiet of absolute retirement as soon as he returned to his home in Lancaster, Pa. Pierce lived eighteen years an ex-President. His home J was in New Hampshire, but ho was a Southern sympathizer during the war and so much out of sympathy with his neighbors that ho spent many of his later years in travel abroad. John Adams was tho first hermit ex-President. Ile was twenty-five years an ox-President, but ho was so disappointed at his defeat for re election that he secluded himself for a quarter of a century, compiling historic records, and ho came out of his hole only once, when, in 18*20, he acted as delegate to a State conven tion. Tho fact that be retired did not mean that he did not tako an activo interest in public affairs. Van Buren yearned for another term, but could not present himself to tho people of his party, because he was opposed to the annexation of Texas. From bis seclusion ho wrote letters winch resulted in his nomina tion for President in 1848 on a Free Soil ticket, but ho received no elec toral votes. Rutherford B. Hayes took no active part in public affairs after hts retirement, but bo had been so severely criticised that it would have taken more than a lifetimo to vindicate his record and m ak o him again a Presidential possibility. John Tyler was one of the active ex-Presidents. Like Washington, ho pursued tho lifo of a country gentleman, but he afterward became very much interested in thc doctrine of secession and took an activo part in all tho events which lcd up to the civil war. Filmore lived twenty-one years after his retirement. Ho was nomi? nntcd to succeed himself by tho American party, but was not oh ?ted. Ho travelled a groat deni abroad and took a great interest in public affairs, Thomas Jefferson devoted himsell to educational interests and founded tho University of Virginia after hie retirement from tho Presidency. Ile personally superintended tho orce tion of tho university buildings. Monroe had his own ideas on tlu r WALL QO. Ex-Presidents Recalled by thc t Benjamin Harrison, SJork Daily Sun.] subjeot of tho occupation of ex Pr?sidents. Ile held that "an ox Presidcnt should not bo a party leader." Ho was a looal magistrate for a time and was a delegate to a constitutional convention. Ho lived only seven years nftor his term ended. Gen. Grant was tbo greatest traveler in tho list of ox-Presidents. His trip around the globe has bcon described in two largo volumes and it is a matter of familiar history. Gen. Grant did not take any part in business or public nffairs, but he was the silent partner in tho firm of Grant and Ward, and his lattor days were embittered by his exporionces in Wall street. Everyone knows that his famous book was written while ho was on his deathbed to provide a living for his family after his death. Grover Cleveland, since tho close of his second term, has delivered some lectures at Princeton and fur nished some autobiographical contri butions to periodicals, but this has been a matter of courtesy and not of business. Gen. Harrison was the first ox President to die of pneumonia, although Georgo Washington was killed by a cold and so was Harri son's grandfather, William Henry Harrison. Washington's cold devel oped into laryngitis and tho other Harrison's into pleurisy. Ho expired at Quincy, Mass. Thos. Jefferson's death occurred a few hours beforo that of Adams', and singularly enough, both died on the 4th of July. James Madison at 85 died of old agc. Adams had lived to bo 91. Monroe died of general debility, though ho was only 73. Tho second Adams was stricken with paralysis in tho hall of the House (now Statu ary Hall) and died in the rotunda of the Capitol. His body was taken to Quincy. Andrew Jackson died of consump tion and dropsy at thc ago of 78 and was buried on his estate, tho Her mitage, near Nashville. Van Buren died of catarrh of tho throat and lungs and was buried at Kinderbook. Ile was the only President who died at his birthplace. Tylor died of a bilious attack and was buried at Richmond. Taylor was stricken with cholera morbus after drinking a quantity of iced water and iced milk and eating some cherries. Polk's death was caused by cholera. Polk was buried at Nashville and Taylor at Louisville. Kilmore died of paralysis and was buried nt his homo in Buffalo. Pierce died of inflammation of tho Stomach, and was buried at Con cord. Buchanan's death was duo to rheumatism and gout. Ile lived to be 77 and wan buried noar Lancaster. Andrew Johnson died of paralysis and was buried at Greenville. Grant died of cancer of the throat at Mount McGregor and his body lies in the magnificent tomb on Kivor side Drive, Now York.
