Wo are of those who bolievo that ra'lroadi icfor injure but always benefit the towns md counties Ihrougti which they are ocated, therefore we do not sympathize with many of our citizens who are now tncouraging gloomy forebolings of injury to the town from tho building of the Three C's I>ivi?ion. Tliey p'cture a num. t>er of small towns soattored along the line, with enterprising merchants and stocks if merchandise that will take much of the business from the oouuty seat. Well, new lowus are generally peopled by new citizens thereby increasing the business, the pojrulatlon and, consequently, the business roouire^jMft^c^^couoty. > ' No'new town ever reduced the business, ihc population, or the price of property in \ county. If Kclton should have 2,00!) inhabitants two years from now, it will be because her location and business facilities lire favorable, find tho peoplo of that town ?nd vicinity, seeing aud appreciating their opportunity to build lip a town, went to work and did something?perhaps bu It a Cotton Factory?to attract pooplo and bu?incs to it. There would bo just as many propic in the country nround Kelton ss hefore, aud 2,000 more in the town. It was ever so; and we point to Spartanburg and Greenville, hoth surrounded with flourishing towns, hot both advancing rapidly in every element tint goes lo increase their business, (heir wcil'li, their population and importance, as practical proofs of the corroetn-ss of our position. Hut, if Kclton, or any other point on the ro>d, should have 2,(XX) inhabitants ill two or three yca?s from now, surely Unioi, with all the advantages of an csttblished hu-iiiess centre, being the Couuty seat, with two railroa Is and 1,400 inhabitants to commence on, we repeat, surely Union ought then to have at least 4,000 inhabitants. And we ask our citizens, in all candor, why we should be afinid of towns springing up around us ; ami why our business and prosperity would not increase with them f We have the start of them in every respect ami wc have the moan a to keep ahead, if we will only lay ss'dea great part of our selfishness and work more for the general welfare. Railroads do not, in themselves, increase the business of a town or County, but tlicy provide the great facilities through and by which busioo's of any and all kinds may be increased; and, as wc have often fail before, the people of aoy locality who will not embrace the ml vantages which increased railroad fncil ties p'acc at their soinmand, must expect to see their town end JtisiuciS languishing, and their tnorc enterprising and provident neighbors thriving pon their downfall. It is fo'ly for us lo again advocate the milding of a Cotton Factory here. That is tut of tits question now. We have a Cotton Seed Oil Mill that has engaged roort of lie qa c capital cf the town, tin 1 bns done i fair'y good business, for Ihr Stockholder*, n l wo arc truly glad of it ; but Oil Mills ire net calculated lo do a fcrcit deal for the tVIICI?l J5'IU*??TIIC UU3IIlt'13 OI llic IDWQ. i lion, however, d,no giod thing for he Furmtrj it wag the means ?f rairug the price of cotton gee>i from 15 to tas not brought a bale of cotl'iiftB (DIR ne> cet that would n t otherwise have come lerc. It is standing still now and will rema n so until perlinj s text October; and while in operation did not cmj loy more than ,!<? per cent of the lain r necessary to run a ftiO.OOO Cotton Factory, regularly from one srop to another. We hope wc shall .jot be misunderstood in the above. Wo only intend to draw a Jotuparisoti between a (' tton Seed O.l Mill uid a Cotton Factory, as culm ptises to iujrease the business, the population and the {cncml prosperity of a town. Wo have stily praise for the Oil Mill and its itooklioldcrs; ami we a c only speaking, f< r the gieatrst go >d to the greatest iiuiuher of our citizen". We consider the lifferoiccbetween mi Oil Mill and n Cotton Factory, in their benefits to a town, in dollars and cents, to bo ab ut in the panic ratio ?s the difference between the price of a halo of cot on and the price of rhe reed from it. We should lake a lesson from Spartanhurg, before it is to > late. When the pcoplo ol ihut City got frightened at Lho am iutit of bus nest the Cotton Factories around them were drawing from their town they went to work and bijilt a Factory nt li >me, anil it h e.-tiaiat-d I lint it will add 2,000 to the populutiou of tint ("ny by next Pal'. So, if our merchants, property owners and riti/.i lis getier-illy nrcafinid that tlio railroad will huild up competing towns nr. uiul them iiud seri ti-ly affect the interests of the town, they should he prompt in d >ing or establishing something that will prevent or counteract such injury, for it is now pretty sure that the r ad will he built.

Death of Dr Henry S. Beaty. This community was shocked ou last Saturday morning, at the announcement that Dr. Henry S. Benty hail died qqito suddenly at his resi Icnce, in this town. Dr.-Bcity ha 1 been in foiling health for some time, and his friends knew that the dreadiul disease, consumption, would at an early day do its work, but they least thought that the end was so noir at hand, and bis sudden death was quito a shock to his family nn l many friends throughout the County. Dr. Beaty was in the fifty-fifth year of his age, and wash mi in this county. At the time of liis death he was a member of the Legislature from this County, a position which his ability, li s genial disposition aud nobleness of heart won for him. '1 he esteem in which he whs held was evidenced by the large conoourie of f iends of bojh races th^t followed all that whs mortal of their friend to the village cemetery lat Sunday afternoon. Dr. Beaty leaves three ohildrcn, two sons aid a daughter, to mourn his death, tlie'r Mother having proceeded him ten years sgo.

But the bridexpectaut when she contemplates future years .? >f happiness, never think of a husband rlio sometimes would be as cross as a bear, r go pouting arouoil for hours without ipeaking to her. Sho never thought of the ong evenings when ho would leave her .lone to come home at night from his workf >n 1 instead of a smile or kind word, he rould pour forth in her ears his awful proanity over some trifling matter that did not lease hiin. She never imagined she ifks to c the miserable wife of a vile drunkard. lie had no idea, in fact, there could bo anyhing in married life but happiness, and she lad determined to be happy and ributc her happiness to those nroum^lff. t is not her fault that she dont succeed.? den, as a rule, do not exert thomselvcs to ccurc their wive* happiness. The cheerfulicss, the happy hopeful chnractcr which very true woman displays at the beginning d marriage requires but a small share of .Mention ; but it requires attention, and the lusband that forgets this will find amid alt lis losses that it is impossible to loso any reasure as precious as woman's cheerfulicss, yea, as woman's loTe. A word to you? ;irls, in this short article is in order. Jiticure of the man who doesn't know inough about cheerfulness to understand ts value in daily life. Such a man jti^l cm* iraoc every opportunity to grind thPlhcerulnoss out of his home, to frighten sun>eams into shadows, ami then wonder to enow what is the matter.

THE SUB-TREASURY PLANA Asall the farmers of Union County may not^^kcomprclicud the object of *1he SubIresHVplan. we will now try to give it in w nut-shdll. There is now a bill pending before Congress "to establish Government warehouses or depositories at , each county vh9 ^.c0f he valuf of said produce at a iow rate of nterest?so low that our present system of noney monopoly, which is impoverishing the t lodt^uroul I cease." -A^Hpliy cannot every Alliance favor and insisOtpon the adoption of this Sub-treasury plan? There are more than threo thousand National Banks in the United States, and hey get ninety per cant, advance on the >ondstlicy place in our vaults, (or warehouse) ind we only psk eighty per cent, of the , ralue of our produce, and propose to pay ill expenses, storage, insurance, &c , for the privilege. There are in the Southern aod Western State* 817 counties, all of which ? lecd tho assistance of this Sub-treasury dam Thin ia about one-fourth of the num. tor of counties in 'lie United States. Since nil wenlth in created by labo-, why diould not our cominonwcnlih protect and iclp Kie men who sustain it ns well nn to ' iclp National bankers who add nothing to he wenlth of a country and only distribute ho wenlth after it is produced ? What is the Government doing for the whiskey ring'.' They are ullowcd to pltce their products in bonded warehouses for three years and receive a Inrgc p> rtiou of its value wit hunt interest. Arc the farmers and Inborers of less eonlideration in the nffnirs of the Goverumcnt than the whiskey manufacturers ? What do our representatives in Congress, ind our aspirants for Congressiom^^onors my in regard to this Snb-trensur^'pUn ? I see that the pcerloss Vance, of North Camlinn, is on the side of the farinor in his druggie to live, and that he ? hearti'y in favor of the Sub-treasury plan, which seems to be tli^nmt feasible plan for granting Jthe relief for which, the farmers are suffering. The establishment of the Sub-treasury plan would be a death blow to corners, combines, trusts nnd future dca'ers. No longer would the poor man's cotton he at the heartless mercy of the speculator, whose agent informs him when he carries Irs bale to> market that "it is off so inauy points ihi* morning in Liverpool or New York.''
