Our Motto?" Equal Right* to All."
GREENVILLE, 8. C.
Thursday Morning, January ft, 1860.
The Southern Enterprise.
It was intimated In our paper, a week or two
since, that there would be a slight change In its
management from the flirt of January, I de- I
sire now to make a more formal announcement of
that fact It will be seen, that, as to the more
material points, the office will be conducted as
heretofore. Believing that the interests of the
office would be better subserved, and, at the same
time, enable me to devote more of my time to the
active duties ol a profession, I have been induced
to sell my interest in the printing office, and am
thus released front thu cares of the mechanical department
of the same. The paper will henceforth
be owned and published by Messrs. C. M. McJuv
kix and J. 0. Bailet. The first named has been
intimately connected with the printing business
for the past twelve years?having served our
first years at the trade together. For the past
three years he lias been one of the publishers
and proprietors of tlic Enterprise, nnd is, in all
respects, a clever, industrious young gentleman,
nnd a most excellent printer. Mr. J. C. Bailet
is too well known to the local subscribers of the
Enterprise to require any recommendation from
nic to Introduce him to their confidence, lie is
remembered by them ns the first carrier of the
paper, and has faithfully served us ns apprentice
and printer since the publication of the Enterprise
commenced?six years ago. It will thus
bo goon, tlint, go fur as the publication is concern,
ed, tlic paper is fortified against almost every
disaster wbicli could possibly beset it, and if industry,
perseverance, economy, with a full
ltnnwcledge of tlieir business, will win success, I
feel confident that the young gentlemen who
now own the paper, will abundantly obtain it.
I may be excused for adverting to the past
history of the Entrrpritt. It has now been pub
Halted without the interruption of a single mint
her, for near six years, during which time it has
been constantly Increasing in patronage and in
the confidence of the public, t'pon a review of
that time, I am impressed with the consciousness
of having imperfectly discharged the responsible
dttties which pertain to a public journalist, hut
ant consoled w ith the reflection, that sn honest
endeavor has characterized everything which I
have said or written. My object lias been to
furnish an entertaining and readable paper; to
do so, I have sought rather to give the views and
opinions ol the good and virtuousthnn to present
nty own. I have not refrained, however, from
expressing such opinions as 1 entertained upon
all mntters which required it. This eourse 1 intend
to pursue in the future management of the
paper.
With this statement, which Is due, perhaps, to
the new proprietors, as well as to the public, I
commend the Enterpr<?* to the continued support
of its old friends. Oive the proprietors your assistance,
stid I feel assured that it will be well
bestowed, and in return for your kindness, thev
will make it worthy of your patronage,
W. I*. PRICE.
In assuming the varied earcs and responsibilities
eonnecled with the business and mechanical
departments of the Entrrpritc, the publisher*, after
the above flattering introduction, have hut
little to say. They respectfully and earnestly solicit
from the public a continuation of the favor
and patronage heretofore bestowed upon the office?in
Advertising, Job Work, Subscriptions,
itc.?hoping, by Attention and management, to
merit the same. They feel (what they arc ready
to acknowledge, nnd as is, in fact, the case with
all such enterprises,) their dependence upon pub
lie patronage for tlio continued success nnd advancement
of lite popt r; nnd to win nnd retain it
will be their highest endeavor. A* above stated,
no mnterinl change has been, or will be made in
the character of the paper at present, It is hoped
j that the time is not far distant when its tvpn!
graphical character and appearance may be
j changed?for the better, of course. To eulnrge
I our sheet, and make other improvements in the
: paper nnd office, w ill bo sought to he efTeeted-at
an early day. Tlio subscription list ia steadily
increasing, w e arc glad to snv, and is encouragement
we can feci and appreciate, together with
all such favors n* advertising anil joh work. Mr.
I'rick, who has conducted it since the foundation
of the paper, remains at the helm-editorial, and
will steer its course ss usual?writing, clipping,
nnd supervising all matters pertaining to its columns,
with all the earo of a practiced caterer.
In conclusion, we again present the cluims of
the Entrrpri** to the public, and ask a regardful
consideration of tbsm.

which carried from him the beloved object
of liis heart, contracted, no doubt, by bis uucess

iu him, and noon to'd with direful effect upon his
energies. Alar, how sudden are human expectations
sometimes blighted and ruined?the fondest
hopes, how soon they fade. Dr. Allkn was
twenty-six years of age, and universally esteemed
and beloved by all who knew him.
Pendleton.
"We had the misfortune to stop at Pendleton at
a most inauspicious time last week. It was on
Saturday night, after traveling nil day in the cold
rain and heavy snow-storm. We drove up to the
hotel and asked for lodgings, and, to our utter
surprise aud consternation, wo were informed
that there was not at the time any hotel in the
place! Just imagine a fellow a foot deep in
snow, surrounded on all sides by houses, yet no
hotel to go to, and the thermometer below zero
and still going down. In our " deep distress " wo
flew to the store of our friend, J. I>. Seirn, to
whom we related llio story of our misfortunes.
In the goodness of his heart lie most cordially .ntortnined
us during our stay. Upon looking
around, next morning, we found Symmrs, of the
Hartwell Me**rn<jer. He informed us that he had
been compelled in p?i upnt. (h? tmrHvi'n" ?nd
had occupied a chair for three whole nights 1
They need a hotel-keeper at Pendleton?one that
understands the business j for whilst we do not
expect to attempt to stop at that place for some
time to come, there limy be others who, like ourself,
would be compelled to slop "for one night
only." , . m . ,
Xfegroes Hiring; Their Time.
The Town Council of Greenville Imve thought
proper to call the attention of owners of negroes
to the Ordinance preventing them from hiring
their own time. The Ordinance will be rigidly
enforced. Negroes have had the privilege of
hiring their time so great a while, thul the system
has grown to a great evil in the community,
and we rejoice that efforts will be made to suppress
it. It is well known that in moat instances
the slave has been permitted to make hin own
contracts, and the master receive much from
the negro. The latter was satisfied if lie received
u certain sum from the negro. This has
led to loitering, and tho negro lias been forced,
in some cases, to steal enough to make up the
amount rcqufml by his master. Put a stop to
this indiscriminate running about of slaves, and
we shall hear of a less number of thefts, and we
opine that fewer smoke houses will he broken
open, and fewer articles of wearing apparel missed
from clothes lines.
j '
To be Hung.
Just before going to press, we learn thnt Abt,
the negro boy belonging to IIauov J. GilrKatii,
Esq., who in November last killed a free negro
named Groryt Ihirket, in this District, has been
sentenced to be hung on the second Friday in
April next lie was tsicd to-day (Thursdny) before
a Court of Freeholders In this place.
GnillArd School.
We invite attention to the advertisement of the
above School, to be found in our paper to-day.
The School will go into operation on the first
Mondnv in February next. It will be se.-n that
an address will^bc delivered by Rev. T. S. AsTiiun,
upon the opening of the School. The public
nrc invited to attend.
Delinquent Subscribers.
We hnve a few subscribers on our books, reaiding
out of the District And Slate, who have
not psid us for the psst several years. In sonic
instances, we havo received nothing from them
since they became subscribers to the paper.?
Now, we are anxious to bring this matter to the
attention of these delinquent?many of whom,
110 doubt, are waiting to have their accounts sent
them. We shall accordingly, at an early day,
make out and forward to all of our subscribers
residing out of Greenville, a statement of their
indebtedness up to the first of February next,
and should their accounts remain unpaid at that
time, we shall strike their names from our sub,
scrijUion book. The necessity for this course, upon
our part, must bo apparent to all of thomuml
wo hope that our request to pay will not
be unheeded. Should they desire to discontinue
the paper, all they have to do, is to intimate as
much when they remit us the amount now due
us.
