LAST YEAR'S CROP.
The cotton crop of last year was
a record breaker, reaching 11,274,
840 bales against 11,199,994 bales
the year before which was then
the largest ever grown up to that
time.
The crop of the different States '
is given as follows in thousands 1
of bales : (
North Carolina, etc., 583; South (
Carolina, 1,012; Georgia, 1,536; i
Alabama, 1,159; Florida, 70; Miss- 1
issippi, 1,522; Louisiana. 590; Ar
kansas, 834; Tennessee, 414; Tex- j
as, 3,555. Total crop, bales 11,- ,
275. ,
North Carolina above includes <
Kentucky and Virginia; Tenues- 1
see includes Oklahoma, Miss6uri, |
Kansas and Utah ; Texas includes .
Indian Territory. ,
Whilo South Carolina raiaorl a
million bales of cotton last year, I
Texas, including Indian Territory, '
raised three and a half millions j
of bales. ]
===== I
"Lancaster ought to back Leroy <
Springs for all it is worth. He is i
a leader who has already shown
his capacity, and when a town <
has a man willing and able to i
lead in industrial developments
it is fortunate, and should close i
ranks and follow him. A million '
dollar mill project should not appall
Lancaster with it6 hugeness.
T I- -a Tt !. i
iA)tjK ar union, wnicn in a year
more will have about two millions
in its cotton mills. The time is
propitious for getting northern
money into southern factories. If I
local capital will do its best the
rest is not hard."
When Col. Springs 6et to work ,
to build the cotton mill here, Lancaster
promptly subscribed the ,
amount he asked for, and although
the mill passed through
one of the worst periods of de ,
pression in such goods as this
mill manufactured, the mill has
kept running all the time, has
paid three semi-annual dividends,
and the stock is now worth 105,
and some of our capitalists who
ordinarily give cotton mill stock
a wide berth, are now anxious to
buy the stock of Lancaster's cot
ton mill, and when Mr. Springs
starts out to ftnlariTA his mill a i
million dollar plant, those capitalists
will subscribe liberally to
its stock, and he will have little
trouble in getting all that he will
want in order to make the enlargement
a certainty.
A million dollar mill will bring
perhaps 3000 more people to Lancaster,
will consume four times
as much of the farmers' wood as
the present plant, and will furnish
a market for increased tarm,
garden, poultry and dairy pro
ducts.
Some ol Lancaster's boys should
attend the textile deparment of
Clemson, a clipping with reference
to which appears in this
issue of the Enterprise. We are
informed that one of them expects
to take the course. There
is no field that promises brighter
prospects . for lucrative positions
than the field of cotton manufacturing
If 70a have a boy, read
w^at is said fn the article above
referred to. It may help yon and
him to decide what he will do.
LANCASTER'S FUTURE.
A great deal of speculation has
been indulged in recently as to
the future of Lancaster's business
prospects. Many think that the
consolidation of two of LanOaster's
largest mercantile establiahments
will have a bad effect, and that it
will have a tendency to drive
trade to other points. If that be
trne it certainly ought not to. It
is unreasonable to suppose that
men with the sagacity and business
experience of these, with so
many varied interests whose sucr>PC9
ic HononHonf unnn tlin
growth and material progress of
the town, would do anything to
drive away the trade. Their success
as merchants depends upon
the amount of business they will
do. It is reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that they will endeavor
to build up the largest possible
business. This is* the way it looks
to us. Thert to do this, they must
sell goods- at prices that will attract
the trade, and must pay
prices for whatever they buy that
will induce the farmers to market
their products in Lancaster.
There is then nothing else to be
desired.
No one will deny that these
gentlemen have a legal right to
Jo what they are doing. Their
money is their own, and if they
see fit to use it jointly or sepa
rately, that is their business. If
they don't do a big business they
cannot make money. Expenses
must be paid before there are any
profits for the stockholders. They
can't run a business without patronage.
They can't get patronage
without they treat the public
right. Can they afford, therefore,
not to treat people right ?
The Need ol Good Roads.
Editor Enterprise:?In your
report of the picnic and farmers
institute at Craigsville you men
tion that Prof. Morrison complimented
Lancaster county for
having produced two of the greatest
men known in the history of
the Pmted States?Andrew Jackson
and J. Marion Sims. That
was not the only compliment he
nnid n? TI#> eni<1 wo ir. trc ?ln?l
conductors of the institutes lar
per crowds than did the people of
any other county of the State?
"but," he added, "you carry us
over the worst roads to pet to
them." That was a pretty hard
lick, along with his compliments;
but none of us can say it was un
merrited. And if men like Morrison
and Tillman keep on givinp
us raps maybe it will make us
ashamed of ourselves after awhile
and cause us to mend our ways
(and roads).
* * *
Whose fault is it about our
scandalous roads? Not the super
visor's, as some say; nor the fault
of the chain panp, as others say.
The people themselves are to
blame. The}' could have the
roads made better if they would.
The supervisor appoints the overseers
and orders them to work
tho roads (see notice in the news
papers). That is all he can do ;
ho cannot ruake the overseers
work. That is for the people to
do?by reporting ihem to the
supervisor, who will then have to
prosecute the overseer. There is
plenty of law to have good roads,
and there are oflicers ready to
enforce it. All that is needed is
for the people to do their part.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 2.?
Wednesday night ait Mormon elders
weTe conducting a meeting
in a school house at Pine Blnff,
Stewart county, Tenn., when the
building was stormed by a mob
of over 100 men. Eggs and rocks
were thrown through the windows
and the building almost entirely
demolished. Those present fled
to save their lives, as bullets commenced
to strike the building
thick and fa6t. Miss Mary
Harden, a popular young woman
of the place, walked between the
elders, Olson and Petty, with a
view to checking the work of the
mob. While the trio passed down
the road shots were fired from
ambush, and the woman was hit
by a ball and almost instantly
killed. Her brothers vowed they
would avenge the crime, and after
the first excitement died out they
secured bloodhounds and placed
them on the trail of the assassins.
