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

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

there. Admiral Endicott, chief of
the bureau of yards and docks, has
closed thc arrangements for the pur
chase of land, securing the Lawton

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

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

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

sometimos contending for the right
by being overpowered by physical

as both did in contending for tho

it? A dolicato female attaoked by a

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

rifying to dwell upon. A fair young
girl, in the bloom of youth, lies pros

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*

But let us turn to another Bcene

Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes tho night,

"No chilling winds nor poisonous brcat

Aro felt and feared no moro."
No triumphant conqueror ever r<

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

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
