A VICTORY TOR THE COTTON MILLS. Tho long expected decision of the State llailroadCommission in the peti tion of the cottou mills for relief from discrimination by the railroads against the port of Charleston in favor of Pinner's Point, tho longer haul, the effect of which was to force shipments in a direction which made natural location to a near pert of no advantage, thus keeping the New England Mills in a position to compete with our Southern Mills, located as they aro in the cotton fields, wa.? made the 23rd of December last. There were, of course, other points before the Commission, but our mills were more particularly interested in having the Commission lix a uniform rate within tho borders of the State, and have fully and finally settled their right to name the route of their ship ments, and thc decision of thc Com mission is clearly a victory for the mills. A uniform rate has been made, the right to route shipments clearly stated-which means that the rail roads cannot change the routing-and the mills arc now in a position to Bhip to Charleston at a reasonable rate and there negotiate freight rates with ves sels willing to carry their manufac tured articles to distributivo portB in other oountries. Tho mills did not securo what they hadt-hoped. Thc decision waB in the nature of a compromise, but what has been accomplished in all probability means a great deal for the mills of this State. Sales heretofore have boen based largely upon the freight rate to New York, which is 53 cents per hun dred. It remains now to be seen, whether with a rate of 29 cents per hundred to the port of Charleston, rates to bo negotiated with vessels to distribution points will no tgive our mills an advantage over New England Mills, increase the demand from all seotions abroad and rapidly carry mill building in this State to a point where she will lead every State in the Union. It is ouly just to say that what has been accomplished by the mills in this matter has been, in a large measure, duo to tho efforts of the mill presi dents in Anderson County, Capt. E. A. Smythe, Jaa. L. Orr and J. A. Brock. It is only just to them, also, to state that while thc Commission fixed the responsibility of shipments not going to Charleston upon tho shoulders of the shippers, it is never theless a fact that not until tho mills entered upon this fight were circulars isBued by either of the railroads authorizing or instructing shipments via Charleston. The Intelligencer has received the initial number of "The Bail road and Industrial World," a monthly publi cation issued at Spartanburg and edited by Gen. JOB. L. Stoppelbein. It is a periodical devoted to railroad news and industrial development, and is newsy and interesting. - ? #> ? The President has appointed J. Duncan Adams, of Laurens, United States Marshal for South Carolina. Mr. Adams is a recent convert to the Bepublican party. He has filled the position of Deputy Marshal for a number of years, and is said to be thoroughly familiar with the dutios of his office. The Legislature convenes in Co lumbia next Tuesday, 13th inst. There are many questions of vital im portance lo tho welfare of tho Stato that will be considered and passed upon. Tho Intelligencer will publish each issue during tho session a letter from a special correspondent covering the work done. Congress reconvened in Washington last Monday. Among tho list of nomi nations sent to the Senate was the name of Wm. I). Crum, a negro, for the position of Collector of Customs at Charleston. Senator Tillman will use his pitchfork in .-?n effort to pre vent Cram's confirmation, and it is believed that he will succeed in de laying action for a time at least. Col. August Kohn, the genial and energetic Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, who recently visited nearly every cotton mill in tho State, is now publishing a series of articles in that paper on mill condi tions in this State. He got his facts from direct contact with the mill operatives themselves, and not from what presidents or superintendents told him. These articles will prove highly interesting to everybody, and they v !11 fully sustain the statement quoted from the News and Courier that is, ''that thc conditions iti the mills in this State do not require child legislation at this time." Wc hope every member of the Legislature will read these articles carefully, for they can certainly rel j' on every state ment ?h it Col. Kohn makes as being the truth a id nothing but thc truth. Tho teta! number of immigrants" wliti arrived in New York and were ad mitted in IJIU2 wa- H."?.7.*)I, a gain over last year >i more than l!{S,U00. The month of May showed the largest immigration. Italy and Austria-Hun gary eon tri bu ted th?' largest proportion to the year's immigration. The lar ger number <.! immigrants stay East, chiefly in and around New York. m ? ii - Au important convention of the puhlio school .superintendents of this State will be held in Kock Hill, about thc middle of next month, for a gen eral conference, with representatives of the General Education Board. Tho latter is a distinguished body of edu cators, who will organize in Washing ton this week, and discuss plans for the distribution of a milliion dollars a year on education in tho South. At the meeting in Washington President Johnson, of Winthrop, will attend. Among the many troubler that Cuba has to contend with is a constant fric tion between tb<s white "len. ?ut, native and foreigner, on thc one side, and the negro and mulattoes on the other. There isa j respect that a race war will he the result of this increasing antipathy, and the annexation of the island to the United States would certainly be hastened by such an oc currence, lilt: leaders of the white population in Havana arc bringing pressure to bear on President Palma to restrain him from giving social recognition to tho negroes, and it is said that a serious conflict will surely be tho result if the races aro mixed at the president's receptions. Tho negroes, on the other hand, threaten to attack the executivo man sion if they are excluded from the official receptions there. At Bowliog Green, Ky., recently an important case was decided by Judge McKenzie in the Circuit Court. E. A. Porter, a citizen of that city, had a life insurance policy in the Equi table for $5,000 and one in the New York Life for the same amount. He paid on each policy for five years and then lot them lapso, and five years after they had lapsed and had been laid aside as worthless, James D. Hines, as trustee in bankruptcy of Mr. Porter, brought suit against the companies for the paid-up valuo in each case. Tho matter has been de cided io bis favor, and he recovered a judgment as trusteo f jr $(J80 against the Equitable and for $705 against the New York Life. This decision will bc of interest to a great many people, and there will be a general hunting un of policies which have lapsed ana which have heretofore been consider-, ed worthless. Denver Dots. Mr. Joo Bowdon and fnmily, of Co Iusa, California, arrived at Denver Christmas Evo. They will romain several months with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. li. Howden, before return ing to California. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Howden, of Anderson, came up during the holidayH and joined tho family party at tho old homestead for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. G.

Wilton Beeves, who had boen absent several years, gladdened the hearts of his relatives by comiug during Christ mas for a visit of several days.

THIS is the name of the girl that the irate head of the house calla when his wife cooks the FLOUR he bought from some other fellow guaranteed to be as good as Dean's Patent He finds it so sticky he can't eat it ; the more he chews it the bigger it wnds up in his mouth, and when he carries it back to the man he bought it from, he is told that his wife don't know how to bake good bread. This is enough to make any man mad, and say funny names, but there is no excuse for it. He ought to have sense enough, as his wife told him, to know that there is no Flour "just as good" as DEAN'S PATENT, and he ought to buy it all the time, although he is offered something "just as good" for 25c. a barrel less.
