Thb Cottoh Facto by at Laubbkb.?The large attendance present at Ibe meeting last Tuesday night was at once gratifying and assoring, manifesting, as it did, the deep interest felt by our people in the proposed Cotton Fectory. If there had been any doubt as to their earnestness and unanimity it was entirely dispelled. The discussion was of a calm, practical, earnest character. The action ef Ibe meeting was of like character, as will be seen by reference to the proceedings elsewhere in this issue. It is proposed to raise, by private subscription, one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose indicated above, by the people of Laurens, Town and County. This amount is to be supplemented by a similar amounnt, to be raised, and which has been promised, outside the County, making the capital stock $200,000. The shares, very properly, we think, have been placed at the low figure of twentyfive dollars. Ibis will enable people of small neans to subscribe. No money is to be called for before October nest, when one-fourth will be required. After that time the money will be oalled for at stated times, to be fixed by the the Directors. une hundred thousand dollars is a large sum of money, but it should be remembered that the objeot in view is a large one, and the benefits to bo derived from it will be large. And then again, the amount proposed Is to be raised by general subscription. As all will be benefitted all can afford to subscribe according to their means, mueh or little. Thus, what at first glances may appear an almost impossible amount, can, by united effort, be promptly obtained. Of course it will require active, persistent work to aooomplish the desired end. It requires work, hard work, to secure anything worth having. But a Cotton Factory here is a necessity, unless we are willing to sit down contentedly, and seo our neighbors on every side of us outstripping and leaving ns far behind in the march of improvement and progress. We are not willing to believe our people will allow this. A little over one year ago a Building and Loan Association was organised here, which baa made almost unprecedented progress, ana is still in rapid progress. Next, only a few months since, a National Bank was establishsd, This, too, has progressed most satisfactorily, and it is now contemplated to increase its capital to $100,000. Another National Bank, we are informed, will be start* ed here early next Fall, nearly all the stoek having been subscribed. This is the strongest evidence that our people are neither dead nor sleeping, but wide awake and full of business life and vigor. We might enumerate other proofs of this, but these are sufficient for the present. With a proper effort, which we feel confident Is going to be made, the proposed Cotton Factory is an assured success.?Herald, lit tail. Disastbois Timber Fires is Texas,? Chicago, April 2.?A special from Morgan, Texas, says : News has reached here of a very destructive fire raging in the eodar brakes on the Bratos River, ten miles East of here.
