IE3UED KV ERY BATUKDAY MORNING BY THIS _OKANOrnUKQ NEWS CQMVAMY._ Til A D C. AN1)K RWS, Editor._ 0E0. liOIilVKR, ?MusincBB.Manager. SATURDAY, Ang. 7. 1875T "Oar Blessings Brighten as they tako their Flight." That may be all true, but in this dull, hot, uninteresting season, we would like to see a blessing or two, even if they didn't "brighten" any much, perhaps a few old rusty silver dollars, or even an old greasy green back V., might "brighten" if they flew away from us, because we know they are blessing, but tho trouble is that we can't get hold of any of them to let them "take .their flight" so as to fiud out whether they do "brighten" or not, there are a good many out iu the C?unty, that ought to be ours for subscriptions &c, but thoy don't "brighten" worth a cent, because they don't take any "flight," they just stick right iu the pocket of the man who has them, and the poor printer is cut off from observing the increased luminosity which they would acquire during their "flight," in the name of scienco, and our empty pockets we protest against this state of things. Come up to the scratch, and bring a few blessings of that kind with you, and we will load you with Nturb^essirigsV'a^.^? ?? m i'fr Confound it, what we do mean \#, several parties owe us money, aud we would like you to pony up. ,\ih ? [communicated.] Mr. Editor?In your last I made a cursory sketch of the advant ages to be derived from the establishment of a "cotton factory," and I propose dwell ing upon a subject which involves a worth almost criminal to overlook. In.the States of Moa&achusetts, Rhode Island, Dcleware, New York Penn sylvania, $c.f there is raised scarcely an adequate supply of grain for home consumption, and yet these States, by their manufacturing interests (from a boue button to a stoam engine) com mand the banking capital of the United Statrs, and their commercial and manufacturing operations employ surplus monios at rates { from three to ?ix per . cent. Think of the interest account averaging four and one lud/ ,per eenj, against that of the Southern borrower who pays on best collaterals, at least Ucelve per cent. Ihe middle and Western Stales ol Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, ,&c, whose exports of grain vastly ex ceed consumption, and assist in feed ing tho world, enjoy a lesser propor tion of banking capital, an account of being raoro sparingly engaged iu manufactures than the Last. But discounts there are free at seven and m?tic . per cent. The South, whose monopoly is cotton, .jmys twelve, und often twenty per cent; why? Bccuuse it is a risk tied up iu tho uncertainty of a year. Bad seasons, cotton worms and a drought, (like that now upon us,) all affect the credit of the South, simply because if her king cotton comes to grief,, all e'sc falls with it. It is generally known that it requires Northern capitnl to move our cotton and rice. Put any -staple as a sub stitute in the place of either, and our crops would rot for a demand. It is >?ot genorally known however by the honest and unsuspecting furnier, that call loans at three per cent interest will move and purchase his crop and put it in the factories of Lowell or Ainosking, when it takes an entire mortgage of all the farmer has at 18 per cent .to get manures to make that cotton. In other words if three or six per cent can bundle Southern cotton, why should not the same rate of interest handle Northern ibrtilizors. Butsa}'s one don't put all the or. us on Northern capital; not at alt; the northern mon ey lender is handling Iiis funds as you handle, or should handle yours. He is putting it at the best rate for him self, and in the safest mnuuer. But this much I assert, withdraw Northern capital from the huge Northern and Southern Phosphate works, and tHcy will close; money nt low rates run those factories, large profits are put on the products, nnd they are sold at such rates, that they can bear tho contingencies of a crop failure. Is tho benefit commensurate ? That is tho question. How many cotton planters have grown rich in o-ir county since tho war? Please count heads aud report: How many have grown poor? ]Rcad the clerk's docket, and the delinquent tax list. Economy, hard work und thrift have saved near ly all of them, visions of Saratoga and Cape may are confined now to a bot tle of "empire water" or a night on Sullivan's Island. The wealth of other years is gone. Can it be other- j wise if cotton is planted with fifty per cent loss in labor and twenty-five per cent interest on advances ? The argument will waste time to pursue it. The animus of the day is speed, in other words labor saving machines, j and the employment of tho quickest | means outstrips all competition; what has ruined tho industries agricultural* ly and practically of Ireland which' depended on hand labor? The iutro-( duction of the roaper, mower, knit ting and sewing machine &c. Yet Ire-^ land is the great hemp raising fiold.f the best linens bear her stamp. Sup pose the South had no improved plow, no seed planter, no cotton gin or press, where would Bbe be to-day 1 Now she wants the cotton to go in the seed to a factory owned by her fo r mers. The day that it is hauled there will see it baled as brown horae Bpuus, osnaburgs, |or yarns. Tbo ex peneo of ginning at home will be saved, baling will be saved, ties and bagging and all other expenses, haul ing, sampling, loss in weight <fco., &c, and the profits of Southern factories will whiten our waste places with lovely humming villages. H. [communicated.] -a Mr. Editor : jR i Orangeburg Agricultural aiSM^Qx ?hanieal Association is fast aproach ing, the Directors have opened their Premium List for 1875, in which they offer a long list of liberal prem iums for competition in the various Departments, what aro the farmers doing in reference to the different stock Departments ? At our previous Fairs they have not dono their duty, whilst every oilier Department has been well represented and could bo referred to with pride. Our exhibi tion of stock has been so inferior as to throw a damper on the whole Fair, and has been discreditable to the far mers of the County, why has it been so? It has not been lor tiie lack of material for we have an abundance in our County, such as Horses, Cattle, Hogs and sheep, all that is wanted is energy and public spirit to work it up, of course this requires time and some expense to get it in proper con dition for creditable exhibition. Our County pride if nothing olao should promt us to make preparations at once if we havo not done so already, in order to make our stock Department what it should and can be, a credit to the farmers of tho County. aoustas. [communicated.] Fort Motte, S.C. August 4th 1875. Editor Oi angeburg News and Times: The third game of the series be tween the "Pioneers" of Lowisville and "L'>ne Stars" of Fort Motto took placo at Fort Motto on a new field on Monday afternoon. The Pioneers won the toss and sent, the Stars to the bat. After a 2} hours fight on a rough and heavy field, the Stars were declared tho victors by the Umpire Dr. Wra. Bittet, with tho followiwg scoro: Stars 35, Pioneora 13. Unfortun ately for tho Pioneers it was short two of its best players. The Rice Crop. Up to two weeks sinco we havo had nothing but tho most favorable advices from the rice plantations. It is true that even then tho planters of tho up land rice were beginning to bo fear ful, and sodie had already been in jured, but the signs wcro so favorable for rain that all had anticipated it, and tho fenrs were cnfined to a few. But to day such is not tho case. The land rice has been Beriously injured, d many of the lowland planters are coining anxious, particularly those the Ogccchce and Atamaha. On ny plantations along these rivers e water is so low that many of tho ieJds cannot be flooded at all and there only partially. One of the planters on the Alta laha writes: "We have had no rain, With the exception of a squall, for the past two mouths, and the destruction df highland crops is certainly very verious; aud you can well understand that rice crops must be affected under such ? protracted draught, accompan ied by such intense heat. At other -points the water is becoming salt, and [cannot be used; and it will require ithe heaviest kinds of showers to place the rivers at a proper height so as to protect these crops.?Savannah adver [ttser. The Man With an Item. It wasn't right, and the future gen erations will say that it wasn't. He 'came tramping up stairs, tossed his hat on to a table, and as he sat down I in a chair he carelessly remarked : 'Suppose you'd like a big item ?' 'Yes, of course,' replied tho lone re porter. '1 haven't been to any other paper with it,' he continued as he leaned for ward ; I've taken The Free Press for twenty-nine years, and I've walked four miles to give you this it^m.' 'Well, I'm very much obliged in deed. What is the item?' 'Well, you know the Grand Trunk Junction V 'Yes, out here about three miles from the City Hall.' 'Well, it was about a mile beyond that. Mo aud another fellow was coming in on the track. He was a stranger, and seemed down hearted and gloomy; said he didn't care two cents whether he lived or died.' 'Poor fellow 1 Can you describe him?' 'Yes; he was about five feet six; had red hair, big feet, coarse clothes, blue eyes, and no whiskers. 'Well, go on!' 'We'd got within a mile of the junc tion when the express train from the east came thundering along.' 'And of course wo 8tcpt>rj Qff ,j track.' 'Yes.' 'I wasn't looking for nor expecting any such thing, you know, for the man didn't lot on nor betray himself by word or look. If I'd only suspect ed "it, why, I could have grabbed him.' ' V es; I see.' "*Wcll, we stood facing tho train. I was a leetle ahead of him, and what did he do as the train got within 300 feet of us ?' ?Rushed on the track?' 'No; not that. He made a jump for the rail, kneeled down, aud?*| 'Great blazes, but it was awful!' in rupted the reporter. 'Awful? I guess it was! I was never ao weak in my life. He deliberately laid his neck on the rail, shut his eyes, and?' 'And the locomotive took his head clean off,' shouted the reporter, spring ing up. 'No. As I was saying, he delibe ly placed his neck on the rail, held it th&ic?' 'And was smashed 1' ?No 8ir?he!d it there a moment and then?' 'And was then struck by the pilot! 'No, sir?and then he deliberately took it off again, and is now in a sa loon around the corner inquiring for a job.* The roportcr leaned back and look ed at him for n long timo. The stranger leaned back and look ed at the reporter. Nothing disturbed the deep silence but the ticking of tho clock. liy and by the man with the item looked up at the skylight, down at the floor, aud sof'ly slid out into the hall and was gone.?Detroit Free Frets. The walking locomotive is a French machine which has six feet iu place of the ordinary driving wheels. They are heavily shod with India rubber, weighing two and n half pounds to each four tenths of an inch square surface. Tho two middle feet are con I nccted by a horizontal shaft aud move j together nt a moderate pace, but the other four feet are independent of each other, and strike tho ground successively, trotting at a rapid pace. The machine is said to maintain a much firmer "hold" on the rail or ground than can be obtained with a locomotive's driving -wheels, and hence it can pull heavier loads On equal grades or the same loads on heavier grades than the locomotives now in us-).
