"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

,\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.

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

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

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-). "Ironmonger,"an Eng-,

locomotive can be used on grade? of j
one foot in ten.
