CoLuMfBIA 7UONZCP4L NLLCrZO2r COLUMBIA, March 17.-To day the capital of South Carolina is the scene of one of the most exciting, municipal electiuns ever held within its limits, and .the fri-ends of the leading candi dates have left their business and are at the polls bringing all their energies o bear upon the, voters. The chief interest centres in the contest for the mayoralty, and it is expected that it will result in a close race. Among the most prominent cadi dates far tha h 'nor is Co!. F. V.

The meeting of the stockholders of the Winnsboro Cotton Mills was large ly attended on last Friday night. Mr. .~M. Stewart, president, was called to the chair, and-stated that the Board of Directors, having thought it inex pedient to begin immediately in the building of a factory with the present paid up capital, called the present meeting to ascer tain whether the stock holders desired an abandonment of the enterprise and, if not, what disposition should be made of-the money now on deposit. It is sufficient to sy that the board soon learned from the stock holders that the enterprise was not to be abandoned, and the stockholders showed by their enthusiasm that they had the pluck to hold on and were de termined to- have a cotton 'factory. That Winnsb6ro-will-bavea irst class cotton factory is now a settled fact, if the decided sentiment -of that fall meet ing last Friday night is to count -for anything. There was not a great deal of dis cssion because the motions made met with no opposition, it being the unani mous wish of the stockholders only to exercise a. little patience and pull to geter for the building of the factory. It was decided, however, that the article of the constitution which relates to the payment of fines in case of the failure to pay tlie monthly inutalments be suspended until the first Tuesday in October, and in the meantime the board of directors be authorized to make such investments, investigations and call, such meetings as may be to the entercsts of all parties concerned. 1L is possible that the board will look into the alvisabilty of building a warehouse ibis summer and so con sret it tha: can be changed into a fac tory bui!di ng.

MERCHANqT. .3essr.s, Editors: With your permii sion I will .give. a few facts in regar -to the "so-called'' mass meeting. WVh was the meeting "so-called"? was. f~om your pen? It seems so, or "N< 3" makes that claim. Now, was expedient for Mr. T. 8. Brice to issu this call? I say not; for if that ha been the- case, the howl would hat been greater thanuever. It is a know fact that Mr. T. S.- Brice is not pres: dent of the Farmers' Association, being defunct. So, we think, ther can be no objection to the' call-asi was made; and the farmers, or a mt jority of them, demanded a' calli c some nature. Now, on the day C meeting, were there any objectiens t the call or meeting? None, but som difference as to how delegates shoul attend the convention, whether ii structed or uninstructed. The minor Ity offered no argument, only saying It was undemocratic for the farmers t meet in convention -to discuss the ad visability of making nominations o nominating a ticket in March; and should judge from their talk at an: time. I never knew before that demot racy hid its face one month in the year No, farmers, it is only apolitical dodg to hold you back until the Augus Convention, and then they will cal you fools for not taning steps la March. Why, we have only to lool ack to the last Demeratie Conventior B8. .ThevAmnde the same argumen tha~-udeuicratic ; you have no ok ject in view. Now, wre think wv know what democracy is, -and iv claim to toil under the shadow of it banner and to be true to its cause, le come what may. As to the sins number of votes cast, no one will den that was present at the meeting, that a one time the Court House was somi what crowded; but farmers had othe business to attend to, and the minorit knowing this tried, it seems, to rul the meeting by delay. We can sa here that most of those- who wer forced to leave were in sympathy wit tue majority, and so expressed then selves. The press is supposed to ta the light of the community in whichi flourishes, and as you had two repri sentatives present on that' day, we ha hoped to see a more correct report< the proceedings of the meeting.
