Manufacturing la Augusta.
Already tho advantages to bo reaped
by the city from the enfargemont of tbe
canal are becoming ttiaulf??t. For some
timo past rumors of the formation of a
large company, baring .? in viow the
utilization of a portion of the vast wator
power to be created by tbe enlargement,
have been, in circulation. Las', evening
we obtained from uu authoritative source
the following particulars iu regard tu
the matter. ?
About the middle of March last Mr.
J. J. Gregg, a well known citizen of
this place, long proirinontly connected
with cuttou manufacturing iutcrcsts,
met in ?ostou an Eoglish capitalist,
whom ho induced to come out to this
eity for the purpose of investigating a
projected laud scheme connected with
manufacturing'as a basis. The capital
ist, after reaching the city and looking
into tbe matter, was so well satisfied
that he proposed that it a company with
a" capital ol 811)0,000 were formed he
would take slocx to the amount of 832,
000, calculating to uso a portion of the
capital in laying out strocts and con
strueting sewers. No difficulty was
experienced in forming tho company,
several of the most prominent citizens of
Augusta making up tho required amount
above the 832,000. The capitalist re
turned to England, and, as an evidence
that he meaut business, immediately re
mitted thirty two th lUSand dollars to
the company in Augusta. Tbe company
at once went to work to purchaso land
near the city and contiguous to the
canal, and.now owus a very larg?; tract
adj lining or in the vicinity of the canal.
The company has pretty noirly comple
ted its purchases.
The English capitalist referred to, as
inducement for citizens hero to join in a
manufacturing eutcrpriso to be establish
?d on the Augusta canal, stated that he
would head a subscription list in Eng
land with ?11 000 (?55,000) to organ
ize a compnny for the purpose of build
ing on said eanil a factory of 25,000
spindles, and use hj? i'Jk?ueurc to get up
a company with a capital of $1,000,000
with that viow. Mr J. J. 'livgg will
ioave fur Ettglan 1 this ui ?ruing to per
fect the scheme in concoit with the
capitalist, lie is sanguine of success
as ho has receive I great ououurgemow
I'rouj prom'.ocut English oapitulista li
the scheme is perfeutbd, as w?-. iru*t an ?
believe it will be, a great impetus will
be given to the manufacturing interests
of Augusta, and a large addition made
to her material wealth and prosperity.?

Fuilkiiis Makes A Trade.
J Fudgkins thought himself a sharp
man. 11 o was good at a trade, and his
conscience was not apt to stuud in his
way when he was Working for himself,

Auction Room, and saw a wlanut side

promised bis wife that she should have
one. This would not only answer every
purpose, but it was really an elegant
affair, and every way ns good as new.
He nslved Whitney the price of it.
'"1 think that is sold, Mr. Fudgkius.
Or at least, a party has the rciu8.il of

?Then it. is uot really Fold V a-ked
Mr. Fudgkins.

'?The party I spoke of has the refusal
of it for liliy dollars.'
II give ycu sixty," said Fudgkins.
! who had that very morning priced one

at eighty five dollars.
Whitney shook his head He didn't
think it would be hardly (air.
'?Why not ?" demanded Fudgkins
''A trade's a trade. 1 suppusi you have
this thing here to sell. Ten dollars is
something. When t'other man comes,
tell him you had a customer you had
entirely forgotten, (ioodness gracious !
he can't want the article very bad, il'hc
didn't know whether or not to tako it
at that price. Cotaie?what you say '("
The teu dollars extra appeared to be
tempting. At all events, Whitney Anal
ly told him he might have it; and the
bargain wuj concluded and the money
paid over.
"I thought.I'd fetch htm 1" whispered
Fudgkins to a friend at bis elbow,
j "We're all a little too sharp in behalf of

Meantime Whitney had opened one
of the doors of the sideboard and was
rcroovinga card which had been tacked
upon the inside thereof.
??Eh?" cried Fudgkins, as he saw it.
?"What's that?"
"Tt is tho card of the lady who bad
engaged the sideboard, sir," replied Mr.
Whitney.

The lato Elder .lohn Smith, of Ken
tucky, who died recently at an advanced
age, was one of the most ecceutric wits
south of tiie Ohio river. Hu was famil
iarly known throughout. Kentucky us
Kuecoon Smith. While still iu the
Baptist ministry, and attending the
annual meetings of that body, a tall lank
green specimen of humanity presented
himself before tho Association as a
cuudiddte for the ministry. llu was
rcgurded as not being of entirely sound
mind, and labored uuder the hallucina
tion that he was especially "culled to
preaob,'' and kept constantly iinportuuat
ing the Association to give him the
necessary license. In addition to his
particularly unbalanced mind, young
Mocks was the possessor of as huge and
ungainly a pair of feet ns ever trod in
shoe leather. Tired of his importuni
ties, and not being disposed to grant
the liceuso, the Association handed him
over to Smith, with instructions to
make an end of tho oase, and between
them took place the following conversa
tion :
Smith?"So, Brother Mceks, you
think you have u special call to
preaoh ?"
Meuks?"Yes, tho Lord has called
me tu the work, but the Association
refused ino the license."
Smuh?"How do you know you are
called I"'
Meeks?"Knor it! 1 feel it in my
heart. 1 Want my liiuiusa."
' Smith?"Do you brdiuve in the
Hiblc, Brother Meeks V
Macks?"Certainly I do?every word
of it."
. Smith?"II" ] can prove by the Bible
that you are not called to preach, will
you Le Satisfied to drop the matter and
not further importune the Association
lor a license ! '
Brother Meeks assented to this and
Kaceooo Smith deliberately epeued the
New Testament at Unmans x, 15, and
iu a grave tone read,?"How beautiful
are the fuct of them who preach the
gospel of peace," Ate. Then glauciug at
Meeks large feet remarked : "You see,
llrother Meeks tb.it tho foot of the
preacher are beautiful. You sir have
the most monstrous ugly feet of any man
in tho State of Keutueky : ther.f'jre b ,
this Bible, it is clear that you have not
been especially called!'' As Smith
finished bis remarks the Association
went off into a paroxysm of laughter,
and Meeks really concluded that he h <d
uot been "called," baked from the meet
iug house uud never after annoyed the
Association lor a license
A Scene From Lile.
A young man entered the bar room of
a village tavern, and called for a drink.
"No," said the landlord; "you have had
too much already. You have had
delirium tremens once, and I can not
sell you any more." He stepped a&ido
to make room for a conple of young men
who had just entered, and the landlord
waited upon them very politely. Tho
other bad stood by silent and sulhn. ami
when they had finished he walked up
to the landlord, and thus address?? i him;
?Six years ago, at their age, I stood
where those young men now arc. I was
a man with fair prospects. Now nt. the
age of twenty oight, I nm a wreck, body
and mind. You led ntc tn drink. In
this room I formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me a few glas
ses more, uud your work will be done ! I
will soon be out of the way, there is no
hope for me. But they can be saved ;
they may be men again. Do not sell it
to them. Sell it to mo, aud let me die,
and tho world be rid of me but. for hcav -
en's i?ake sell do more to them !" The
landlord listened, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter, he exclaimed
"God helping me, that is the last drop I
will ever sell to any ooe !" And he
kept hie word.?National Tv.tjperane*.

Colored Good Tempiars.
Last Thursday eveuiug, lion. E. R.
Dudley, of New Berne, delivered an
address in the church ut Waroersvillc,
ou the subject of Temperance. His re.
marks were practical, straight forward
and replete with commou sense. The
meeting was not a large none, not more
than one hundred and twenty five being
present. Mr. Dudley's address, to our
uotiuu, was iu a better vein than those
the colored people have had the oppor
tunity, as a general thing, to listen to.
The main idea was that his people should
save iheir caruiugs and invest the prof
its arising from their labor, in land.?
He said that iu this way, where land is
so cheap, niany eulored people, in a short
time, by industry and economy, could
become lauded proprietors. It was
evident they could not do this bo loug
as they squandered their means iu buy
ing intoxicating drinks. We sincerely
hope the advice will bo taken and aoted
upon. There is too much disposition on
the part of the colored people to flock
to the towns. Many proprietors in the
country would bo glad to dispose ot
their lands in small parcels, for
cash. A f.w acres well cultivated,
will afford a support for an ordinary ?
family.
On Wednesday night, Mr. Dudley
organized a Lodge of Good Templars
Aftcr his address, Thursday night, he
held another meeting, taking in more
members, so that the society now num
bers about two hundred. He has or
gauized societies in New Berne. Kinston,
Wilson, Raleigh and Faycttcville. The
movement among the colored people is
fast assuming importance, and the good
rc-ults promise to be incalculable.? AW

A Touching In' dent.?We make
the following extract from tho report or
the proceedings of the Irish Americans
of Chicago, on docoratiou day :
When the grave of a s ldier was ap
proached, the column halted, the name j
of the occur ant was read by Colonel
Stewart, and the companies presented
arms. Occasionally, where one was
needed, a bouquet was deposited. A
little mound, whiuh was pointed out as
the resting place of a Con Coder jte cap
tain?a prisoner who died at Camp
Douglas, waa decorated with not hing
hut fresh, green grass. The spectators
thought it would be past in silence, but
when abreast of it, the command,
"Halt I" was heard. The usual saluta
tion of respect having been given, sever
al soldiers stepped from the ranks, drew
from the muzzles of their muskets ihe
bouquets intended for a comrade's grave,
and generously planted thorn in the sod
which covered the remains of the Con

witnessed it, and proved the noble gen

State Taxes.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A decision has been lately rendered
by Judge Graham which has an impor
taut bearing upon the question as to
who is liuble for the payment of taxes
upon real proporty that may hare been
sold. The circumstances of the ease
as follows : D. B. Gilliland, Esq., refe
ree, sold aud cooveyed, under order of
court, a lot of land to B. D. Lazarus on
the 23d of July, 1872. Mr. Aaher D.
Cohen, solicitor for Mr. Lazarus, the
purchaser, claimed that the law making
July 1 the day when return* of property
for taxation are called for, had changed
the day whereon the ownership fixed the
liability for taxes as between seller and
purchaser, aud that the estate of Gads
den, for which theneferce had sold being
the owner on the 1st July, 1872, should
make return of this property for the
taxes of 1872 and should pay them when
called for by the treasurer. The attor
neys for the executors of Gadsden (Mes
srs. Simonton and Bavker) contended
that the A. A. 1788, which is as follows
has uot been repealed, and is still ef
force, viz: "And all taxes on real or
personal property which shall ba sold
aud conveyed on the said first day of
October oext, aud after the aforesaid
first day of October in each and every
yew ?iereaftcr, shall be returned and
paid by the seller thereof, any law,
usage or custom to the contrary notwith
standing." They also claimed thai
neither the ohanges of the day when the)
fiscal year begins and ends, nor the
change of day when returns of property
are called tor,can, by implication, change
this positive statuory ennctment. Judge
Graham ruled that, in the face or posi
tive enactment, tbe construction of bro
kers and others based upon analogy aud
npou the theory of repeal by implication
eould not prevail and that notii the aei
of 1788 above cited is actually repealed
the se'icr who sein and conveys befer*
the 1st of October, although'after ?Jliry
tho lstnl is hot liable for the Ux?s ef
the year.
