COLUMBIA, & C. Wednesday Morn ing, Sept. 8, 1889. --=s?.v- -T^ , rr* ' ~ r , , Au UuCftU' System. The effort, which the State authorities seem to be persistently making; to or?ate the impression that disorder runs riot in thisBtato is-to put it mildly-rory un? fair and most injudicious. Take, first, tho case of Edgefield. Was there any occasion wnatetejefor Ib?jailitarjjpove-. menta and grand hub-bub. modo there? It ia truo that some Of tho people of Edgefield aro ..much given to shooting at oaoh Other at short distances, but we learn that . not one of the shooting serapes there have sprung from political difficulties. But Mr. Eichelberger gets into trouble, and filled with imaginary fears, his potent influence carries arms and guards to Edgefield. Take the oaso of Abbeville and Anderson. Imaginary troubles lead to the military movements of the constabulary at those points. A colored church ia burnt in Chester, and forthwith tho whites are saddled with the act. And ia many parts of the State, outrages are reported, and if, in some oases, there is unfortunately some founda? tion for the statement of wrong-doing, tile details are grossly exaggerated, and the responsibility attached to a whole community. Bead the Charleston Re publican newspaper, and in almost every issue, large capitals and sensational head? ings precede the garbled and high-flown stories of Democratic outrages upon 1 mild, Iamb-like 1 'Republicans. " And what is the object of this system of deliberate misrepresentation? It is tor party purposes. It is to keep up the passions and prejudices of the duped freedmen in the interior. It is that "the birds of prey" at the sea-side, at the capital and elsewhere in the State, may not lose their hold upon the suffer? ing body of the State. An admirable mode is this of securing the prosperity of the State, which "progressive Repub? licanism" professes to aim atl A fino way is this to attract capital and immi? grants which "progressive Republican? ism" claims to have at heart! But we are pleased to say that even at the North and with radicals, this game is becoming transparent. The cry of "wolf " no longer'deceives. The whites of South Carolina continuo provokiugly quiet. And oven in journals, violently radical, we are seeing every day the ac? knowledgment that all is quiet in South Carolina, and law-abiding, nay, almost "loil." See, say they, how fiery South Carolina has cooled down and turned her gleaming sword into a polished plowshare. "First in war," see, say they, how now she is "first in peace." And even Horace Greeley is almost ready to take us up in his paternal arms -albeit, he may be damning us the while with "faint praise." Let us take heart, then, for it docs seem that the radical role is well-nigh ex? hausted. In tbe meantime, let us look out for now art? and new devices. EX-PRESIDENT JEFFERSON* DAVIS.-The millions of Southern hearts whose sym? pathies follow Jefferson Davis wherever he may go, will be pleased to learn that his health has been much improved. The consideration and respect with which he hos been received in Europe is not the less a tribute to the cause he represented tbau to the man himself, and is gratifying to his friends in Ameri? ca. We cannot close this subject with? out paying a passing tribute to tho bear? ing of Mr. Davis-in imprisonment, in sufferings and exile. "Of firm and noble soul," he has borne himself, since tho surrender, erect-giving the world assur? ance of a XIAN. Bowing his haugh ty hoad to none but his God, he will live and will die-a soul unconquered. CORRECTION.-In our reference, on yesterday, to the Winnsboro News "con? victions" was rendered "connections;" it should have read: "The Winnsboro Neics, without abandoning its convic? tions," &G. ?-??*-> The Charleston Courier states that thc Adger Building is to be converted into an Opera House, at a cost of about $.35,000. <-???-? THE NiaoEn QUESTION IN NEW YORK. The nigger question on tho fifteenth amoudu;p.nt of the Federal Constitution and on the negro suffrage proposition of our proposed new State Constitution is, it appears, to be the fight in our coming November election for the State Legisla? ture. We sholl know moro distinctly, however, tho bonrings of this question after tho action thereon of tho Repub? licans and Democrats in their respective State Conventions of this month. Mean? time, from all the signs of the day, in? cluding the results of the California election, we think it probable that the "almighty nigger" will bo tho leading issue in all the approaching State elec? tions where there is n chance to head off General Grant on the fifteenth amend? ment in support of which he is fully committed.-Neio York Herald. - Manufacture? mt the South. ??o snbjeot at the South can now be wellJnTestoi withY importance tha% tha?* of industrial ^ferelopment in tl& way of manufactures. Wo earnestly hopo that our capitalists or monied mein wi? not,' thia fall, fail to turn their atten? tion to the advantages of this form of investment. It has been'dearly demon? strated-even with mathematical accura? cy- timt the South possesses advantages oyer the North in. almost every form of manufactures. And this may bo depend? ed upon, that ?hles? our domestic capital shall seek this channel, foreign capital will. We aro told that in our State there are many men who have money, and are looking around for profitable investment. Let us suggest to snob-put your money in factories and manufactories, nnd it will bo well for them and well for tho country. A diversity of pursuits is tho life-blood of prosperity-it brings into play all the onergies of mind and body, and leads to tho development of a peo? ple's entiro resources. As to tho advantages wo enjoy hero at tho South, wo refer to the following ex? tract from Col. Palmer's paper, submit? ted to the late Agricultural Convention : 1. An abundance of ur -cupied water power in cvory Southern otate. 2. A mild l?mate. Fire, for boating purposes, is only necessary for from ono to threo months in the year. Resinous heart-pino wood can be procured at very low rates. We pay for such wood de? livered within ono mile of our factory, only ono dollar per oord, and our total expenso for fuel for, say two and one half months in the year, is but one tenth of one cent per pound, whoo charged to the manufactures of those months, while in the North it is about one cent per pound on tho manufactures of at least five months in the year. 3. Wages are, and must continue to be, comparatively low. The mildnoss of tho oUmate, tho abundance of lumber, and tho cheapness of land, enables ma? nufacturers to provide their operatives with inexpensive but comfortable houses and largo garden plats. Tho country being an agricultural one, wo must soon be able to produce our provisions, while tho manufacturing districts of the North must always depend upon tho distant West, and, to some extent, upon the South for theirs., 4. Operatives. Northern men, acting as superintendants of Southern mills, admit tho enperiority of our factory hands, who aro remarkably frugal nnd industrious, and who aro easily con? trolled. 5. Freights aro lower on yarns and cloths than on lint cotton. There has been a timo, within tho lost three years, wheu a bale of cotton of 450 pounds, worth, say, ninety dollars, paid a freight, from Charleston to New York or Phila? delphia, of $2.50 per bale, which would bo 2.77 per cent, on value; whilo that ootton, modo into n balo of 400 pounds of No. 20 yarn, worth, say S13G, paid only sixty conts por balo, of 44-100 por ecut. on value-a difference in favor of yarns of two-third percent. The South? ern manufacturer saves the freight on bagging, rope und other waste. This waste eau bu manufactured into paper at tho South moro cheaply than at tho North, nnd is, consequently, moro valua? ble here than there. Reclamation on falso packed or damaged cotton is easy and direct, and we eave the burdensome Northern charges for storage, brokerage, etc. On tho subject of the practicability of Southern men engaging in cotton facto? ries, Col. Palmor says: It seems to mo entirely practicable for tho planters of tho cotton-growing dis? tricts, all over tho South, to combino to? gether, in joint stock associations, and eroct cottou mills of sufficient capacity to spin up their crops. No doubt, if this suggestion were noted upon at once, and all our cotton mado into yarn, and thrown upon the Northern market, the supply would exoeed tho domnnd, and loss, ?t first, would ensue. My proposi? tion is to ship direct to tho continent of Europe, as well as to the North, lt would tnko us but little time to drive other yarns from the market. Tho pro? cess of approaching tho spinning of our entiro crop wonld be gradual, nnd would keep pace with the gradual wit hun wai of our competitors. Tho arguments in favor of spinning will apply with equal force in favor of weaving. I have, however, confined my suggestions and calculations to spinning, because it is more simple, and requires less capital; nnd is, thereforo, moro like? ly to bc gonorally adopted ut an early day. To show tho practicability of this plan, I submit au esttmato for a cottou mill with 4,080 spindles, ring traveling frames: Number of square feet of llooring, 10,200; amount of No. 20 yarns manu? factured for spindle, 87 pounds. Totnl amount of No. 20 yarns manufactured in mill, 354,900 pounds. Cost of first class machinery, with all tho latest improve? ments, viz: Ono large cylinder cotton opener, (English;) one 3 cylinder open? er, with 1 beator, (English;) ono double lap machine. (Euglish;) 10 self-stripping 30 inch cards, with 2 R. W. heads, troughs and belts; 2 drawing frames and cans; one English slubber, 60 spindles; 2 English juck roving frames, 120 spin? dles each; 20 ring traveler spinning frames, 204 spindles caoh; 14 reels, tra? verse grinder, slide rest, card clothing, governor, turbine wheel, cotton scales, bundle and bale presses, shafting, belt? ing, bobbins, transportation, putting up machinery, findings to commence with, &C., &c, 843,000; building, including houses for operatives, (estimated by an experienced contractor,) 87,000; total, mt?-mn j?MPjfWMWi $50,000. Such mill will give employ, ment to 87 operativos, ard will consumo 887 bales Option, tvfcraiog 450 pouuds each. Estimated net profita on produc? tions, if sold at coat ot' Northern pro-' due-ian, 817,7i8. No estimate ia made of the cost of water powor, as that would depend upon location, size and naturo ol stream. :' ' , --~-jni ' * A Winning Plank. Our discussion of the Land Commis? sion would be incompleto did we not close by suggesting a remedy ngninst the baneful and hostile i nfl neu ce it is intended to exert. We have a reme? dy, and wo intend to propose it. But we know how it will surprise many of our readers, if not tho entire State. Let the progrossivo, liberal, anti-radioal, black and white party that is growing in South Carolina, and is destined by 1874, if not beforo, to control its government, inscribe at onoe upon its banner, "Land for the landless, homes for tho homeless poor." It is with freo laborers that wo aro dealing. They naturally desire the com? fort and independence of homes of their own. All the efficient laborers among them will certainly succeed, in this country, after a little, in reaching the object of their desires. Let the new party, whioh as yet has not a distinctive name, pledge itself, therefore, most solemnly, by public resolution, to assist thom in this regard, and so secure their votes. It is certain that we eau do more for them in ono year than the Hon. C. P. Leslie and tho vilo iuccdiaries Hogo and Scott can do in ten. Hogo's speed i ban opened tho cam? paign. We ourselves can seo no sonso in giving the radicals thc ear of the suf? fragans for eight months, without a re? ply. Let the State proas publish our suggestion, and enlarge upon it, if it approve of it, by showing that tho libe? rals have land to rent, moleB to hire, plantation implements to lend, credit to use for the advancement of supplies-in short tho power to do, what carpet-bag? gers can only promise, and that thoy will do what they have tho power to do, if by their votes the blacks will help overthrow tho corruption and extrava? gance, which unchecked, will prey still moro remorselessly upon our substance. Neither need there be the slightest fear that tho abovo recommended course will deprive the State of farm laborers. It will, on the contrary, it appears to us, (and wo havo given the matter much pa? tient thought,) render our present labor? ers cheerful, efficient and available for a longer per. 1 of time than they now promiso to be. It will put intelligence on top, and ignorance at the bottom. And, as heretofore, capital aud enter? prise will find instruments to executo their bidding. Look at this, gentlemen, and do not roject it, simply because it surprises you. I Wvmsboro News. A SOUTHERN COTTON Mxnxi.-A corres? pondent of tho Memphis Appeal, writing from Stonewall, Miss., describes a cot? ton mill in operation at the latter place. Uo gives the annexed facts: lu tho pine barrens, 100 miles abovo Mobile and twenty below Meridian, on tho Mobilo and Ohio road, is tho cotton manufacturers' village of Stonewall. The structures aro of brick, tho main build? ing 180 feet long, 55 wide, with two wings, each 50 feet square. Two costly engines, each of fifty-horse power, drive the machinery of this model establish? ment. There is power enough for five times tho number of looms and spindles now in operation, and since the number of superintendents and of costly em? ployees and managers would require no augmentation, tho proprietors will at once double thc length of th . main building and fill it with machinery. With this view the capital stock of the compa? ny, when incorporated, will be increased, and the quantity of goods manufactured will bo doubled when thc additional capi? tal invested will not be moro than one fourth the original outlay. At present there are only 52 looms aud 2,01C spindles in operation, consuming daily about three bolos of cotton. Seven? ty-three women and girls aro employed about tho establishment, whose white cottages, furnished freo of rent charge, dot tho neighboring hill-sides. There is not a negro, save tho proprietors' house sci vants, at Stonewall; nearly every ope? rativo is tho widow or daughter of fami? lies impoverished by tho war. The whole monthly cost of the mill is 81,-luO, including fuel, bil, salaries of su? perintendents and laborers. And yet the manager of tho mill informed mo that ho was paying higher wages than any other manufacturer in the South. When I sought information as to tho profitable? ness of the establishment, I was told to make my own calculations. Wo havo cotton enough of the best quality, which cost us less than twenty cents, to last till December. If wo wero not doing well, we would havo sold 300 bales at a profit of ten cents per pound. The clear pro? uts of tho establishment aro not less thar from 875 to $100 per day. One ox-planter has 850,000, another 825,000 and threo others 85,000 each in? vested in this establishment When the Legislature meets, the Stonewall Mills will bo incorporated and tho capital stock increased. There is power enough to drive five times the number of looms aud spindles now running, and tho samo number of superintendents and overseers can superviso tho additional machinery and increased number of hands. Another wing will therefore bo added to the build? ing. F?70 times as many looms and spiudh may be put in operation, with an addition of only fifty per cent, to the daily expenditures. The Catholic mission house, five miles from San Antonio, Texas, which was built about 150 years ago, fell down a few days ago. BETTET, THAN TO HE GOVERNOR OF OHIO.-Tho San Francisco Bulletin thinks Rosencranz will make 85,000,000 out of his mining speculations. ?.vevcly Inlurcrt by Lion?. ?L ' Lucas, whose wonderful escape fro? the furynrf-rkmsia-the Paris Hip? podrome was recently announced, was alive at last nccouu ts. HU whole body is covered with wounds, among which thirty-three bear tho marks of lions' and lionesses' teeth, who at? tacked him in the cage, whore he had shat himself up with them. Had M. Lucas not been in perfect health, and in the enjoyment of a sound constitution at the time of the accident, his arm must have beet? amputated. Lucas states that ha had not been -two seconds in the cage before he perceived his danger. Ho had omitted to take with him his usual weap? ons, and had only a slight riding whip in his hand. For an instant he lost sight of the lioness, who, no longer perceiving his eyes fixed on hers, seized him by the lower jaw and bj the back of his bond, crunching tho occipital bone, and then seizing him by the arm, in order to drag him between her paws aud devour him at her leisure. Her sire, however, de? sirous of sharing the spoil, attempted to force him from beneath her paws, and caught him by the thigh, inflicting a fearful wound, and literally gnawiug through tho main artery. It was at this awful moment that Jose Mendez, nn at? tached servant of Lucas, dashed into the cage with a revolver, with the butt end of -vbich he dealt a heavy blow at the lioness' head, which compelled her to give up her prey. Mendez, with mar? velous strength, mado a spring at the lion and threw him into the back df tho cage; then, levelling tho weapon at the auimnls with his right arm, pushed the blooding man ont of their reach by his feet. It was only then that the other at? tendants came to the rescue, aud with nn iron bar wrenched open the bars of the cage, enabling Mendez to effect his es? cape backward, dragging Lucas with him, but never lowering his right arm, with which he grasped the revolver. The heroic conduct of Mendez deserves record, and may well rank with deeds of daring which have won stars and crosses on fields of battle. The poor fellow speaks of his noble eonduct as a matter of course, and in his Franco-Spanish ?tcUois says he would have allowed the yeasts to devour him rather than have let them kill his master. Tho lions ex? hibited by Lucas wore purchased by him from a Spanish grandee, tho Duke of Kivus, who has fifty of these animals in his possession for training purposes. Lucas ha? said that the lioness which hud I so nearly devoured him had eaten pnrt I of a lion-tamer at Rochefort, who is, therefore, maimed for life. She is twelve years old. Her cubs are now useless, as, having smelt and tasted human blood, it will bo impossible to tame them for future exhibitions. As the young animals have never smelt blood thoy are fumable, but not afterward. A MEDIUM EXPOSED.-Professor J. W. Caldwell and Laura V. Ellis, the child medium, a littlo girl of twelve, have been exhibiting in Western Massachu? setts a series of "wonderful physical manifestations," after the stile of the Davenport Brothers. Some of the tricks wore very clever. The medium was securely fastened with strips of cotton cloth to a scat in a small cabinet. While thus tied, numerous feats were perform? ed, such as tying and uutying a strip of cloth around her neck or waist; taking a ring and placiug it on any of her fingers, or in her mouth or ear. A bell placed in the medium's lap was rung; a drum played upon with a drumstick, and then with fingers, and tho sides of the cabinet were vigorously pounded with a stick. A voico quito like tho medium's only a trifle heavier, was heard in the cabinet when tho door was closed,which profess? ed to belong to the spirit of ono "Blake," who, when on tho earth, was a soldier, and "got shooted" at the first battle of Bull Bun. In Qreat Barring? ton, however, according to tho Berk? shire Courier, tho committee, in examin? ing the child's fastening, rubbed some lamp-black upon her fingers, and when the strip was next manipulated by the supposed spirit blackened finger-marks, were distinctly visible. Ono of the com? mittee also heard tho child say in a low tone to hor father, when an experiment with a ring failed, "Father, I couldn't muke it stay in my ear; it dropped out." The explanation of the tricks performed by Ellis is said to be very simple, tho whole secret lying in slipping the arm a little way into the bandages, instead of withdrawing tho hands from them, as would at first bo supposed necessary, and any slender boy or girl can easily learn it. THE LITERARY OUTLAW.-Where are Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's friends? By "Unelo Tom's Cabin" she earned the hostility of tho South, and now in equal proportion is receiving tho disapproba? tion of the men and women of the North -the men openly professing their dis? gust nt tho nasty story she has concocted at so much a pago; and tho women-so far as they speak in public-driving her out of their suffrage convention by rea? son of her recommending that man be tho head of the woman as Christ is the head of tho Church. Where, then, is Mrs. Stowe to go? Back to hor Florida home? No; for that, bought by some juggle for a mere song at a tax sale, has reverted, with a purer administration of justice, to its rightful owners. To Eng? land? Sho would bo scouted as ouo mak? ing merchandise of fomily secrets. There but remains for her, then, some homo in that North where her name was once tho synonyme of a glowing defenco of negro weakness, but must henceforth bo liuked with tho perpetration of as heiuous a piece of bawdy as tho literature of licen? tiousness in this country presents. [New York World. Wo like the views of the Columbia PHOENIX on tho condition of our present labor, and publish it for tho benefit of our readers.-North Carotina Observer. The Spanish King is to bo chosen by the Cortes on the 15th. Prince Nopolcon'? Position. Friiico NapoleoD Bonaparte, cousin to the Ern poror Napoleon, and, like him, a "nephew of Ins t??ele/' Napoleon I continues his parliamentary agitation against tho policy ot the Pans Cabinet as Avon as the tendency of tho chief mea sureafltoposed by the French Minister in a very decided manner. The Prince is not satisfied with the present head of the dynasty, and although he himself bas been nominated the second member of the regency in behalf of the Prince Imperial, should his Majesty die before bis son attains his majority, it is .quite ovident that he wishes to push forward considerably in the path of radical pro? gress prior to that event if possible. His conduct in this direction has been so marked of late that he is now classed as an "irreconcilable" in politics, the Minister of the Interior going so far, in? deed, in his very presence, ns to charac? terize his Senatorial course as "scandal? ous." It is difficult to understand why this should be. The empire as at pre? sent constituted ought to be wide enough, certainly, for one family. It appears, however, as if it were other? wise. Priuco Nupoleon, who bears a re? markable nnd most striking personal resemblance to Napoleon the Great, may have iuherited with it that illimitnbility of "idea" which raised up new thrones and induced many conquests previous to Waterloo. Toned down to practical radicalism, ho may perhaps call this French reform to bo put io practice by a plebiscite instead of nt the point of the bayonet. It has been said that his ad? vice of the adoption of such au experi? ment coutibuted largely to the Italio A. us tri ?in war, the actual result of which, although it banished thc Austrians from Lombardy aud created n united Italy, brought Savoy and Nico under the sceptre of Bonaparte. His Imperial Highness is consequently a successful experimentist, and it may be that Spain oilers just now au inviting field for the exercise of his genius. He is very shrewd and very compchensive. He opposed the Mexican expedition; he may go for Spain-perhaps go to Spain in the event of a suitable king not being found soon. He is radical enough for Spanish revolution. He goes for the peoples, and, of course, for Cuban indepeuce. [New York Herald. A POWER BEHIND THE THRONE. Brother-in-law Dent, with the conserva? tive carpet-bag, has departed for Missis? sippi, leaving behind him the most powerful of allies to look after his inte? rests at court. Thc mistress of the king's heart is more powerful than hos? tile ministers; and ambitious courtier Madame Grant is a modest, retiring lady, and has exhibited no disposition to dab? ble in politics until the other day, when her family pride was roused by tho as? sault of Boutwell upon her favorite brother. Then, rumor hath it, sho "talked back" at Boutwell, as only a provoked woman can talk, nnd laid her? self out to thwart tho radical machina? tions against the buddiug Governor of reconstructed Mississippi. She will not be tho first mistress of the White House who has made and unmade Cabinets and high officials. Old Abo found in the wife of his bosom a troublesome nud persistent politician. There was Miss Lane, too, who managed in a good-na? tured way her uncle Buchanan. Even the self-reliant Old Hickory was dragged into a bitter feud with Calhoun by the intrigues of little Mrs. Eaton, the wife of his Secretary of War. Let tho ex shopkeeper of Groton boware. In at? tacking a family relation, he tampers with his own official life. Instead of killing off the aspiring brother-in-law, his own head may suddenly be wanted to molify un irritated woman. [New York News. A PREMATURE REQUIEMS.-We learn with surprise from sundry radical ex? changes that "the Democratic party is in its last grasps of dissolution." We have a dim recollection of having heard this remark before. The fact that it is made, would lead some to suppose that tho perpetrators believe it. Perhaps they do; but if they do, their heads must be as thick and their brains as addled to those of tho prodigy they helped to elect to tho Presidency last fall. If tho De? mocratic party is defunct, it is tho live? liest corpse seen since tho days of Laza? rus. Dead men tell no talcs; but this dead man has only recently thundered across tho continent rt talo of 10,000 Democratic majority in California. Within n few weeks we have hod similar dead men's narratives of 2,000 Democra? tic majority in Montana: 20,000 majority in Virginia; 60,000 majority in Ken? tucky; and 70,000 majority io Tennessee. Aud there is a cheerful prospec t tnat this dear departed and buried up party will resurrect in Ohio 10,000; Pennsylvania, 30,000; and New York 80,000 botter than that active, healthy, all-alivo opposition party-the nigger idolators. For a corpse-this is doing about as well as could bo expected.-Neto York News. Nearly fifty years ago, Thomas Jeffer? son, the great father of the Democratic party, wrote, "I candidly confess that I have ever looked upon Cnba as the most interesting addition that can bc mudo to our system of States, tho possession of which, (with Florida Point,) would givo us control over thc Gulf of Mexico, and thc countries and Isthmus bordering it, and 'would fill up the mensure of our po? litical well-being.'" --o- . o THE "THIRD PARTY."-Tho New York Herald, in an elaborate leader, scouts the idea of a third party movement.
