The Pacolet Manufacturing company's plant at New Holland, Ga., has closed down for < an indefinite period. This plant employs about 1,000 hands and consumes annually 30,000 bales ; of cotton. High prices of cotton and low prices of goods is i said to be the cause. ( If the legislature does nothing else but pass the bi ennial session bill it will have accom^ J ? ? i. l e t\ very great gooa ior the state. It is to be hoped, though, that it will do more along the same line of economy and for the future good of the 1 state.?Columbia Record. Both branches of the General Assembly have passed the bill providing lor bi-ennial se sions ot that body instead of annual sessions. The question will have to be submitted to the people lor 1 ratification. The fact thai there are only e'even states that hold annual sessions of the legislature * is a strong endorsement of thai plan, and we predict that the people will vote for hi ennial sessions. ====== 1 Over 300 billa have been in- 1 troduced at the nresent aeaainni' r ~ ~w.w.vr.. of the legislature, hut only two ' have been passed that amount to a hill of beans, viz : the bill 1 looking to the meeting of the legislature only every two years 1 instead of every year, and the ' shad bill. These matters have 1 been brought up year after year and have been defeated reg- i ularly. ============= * The Itock Hill Journal is a \ thing of the past and the com- 1 pany that published it has gone out of business. The plant has i been purchased by Messrs. P. L. i m i * ' I \iai una, <j . m. Vyiiorry <111(1 J . \j.

The cotton market was again wild Monday, July cotton selling as high as 17.00 and closing at 17$ cents. Yesterday tiie market was clown some 30 or 40 points. These are the highest prices in 29 years. Cotton has not passed 17 cents a pound in New York since 1875, when it went to 17$. It touched 17& in 1874; 21f in 1873, and 27$ in the year of wild speculation, 18/2, when the crop, as against 4,347,000 bales in the previous season, turned out only 2,974,000. The high price of war times, when the south was blockaded, was $1.90 per pound in 18(14. The market broke badly yesterday. At 1 p. m. July sold at 10.27 and by 2 o'clock it had gone down to 15.90, 137 points. It closed at 10.07 for that option. THE BROWNLOW BILL ANP ITS OBJECT. There is a bdl introduced in Congress by the Hon. Walter I* Brownlow of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob II Galliger, member ot the Senate from New Hampshire, appropriatii g $24,000,00 on the part of the National Govern menl as National aid in building wagon roads. This money is to be apportioned among the States according to their population, except that no State shall receive lesp than $250,000. Each State receiving National uid from the Government must add a like amount to the sum re ceived. This will, therefore, cause the spending of $48,000,000 for roads and will build from 6,000 to 7,000 miles of splendid road and will place in each State from 100 to 500 miles of fine hard road, which will not be effected by frost or spring rains and on which the farmer can haul the year round. It will be a great advantage to those living near it, but it will be a far greater advantage to the whole country because it will be a wonderful object lesson and will prove to every one that a good, hard road which can be used the year round, no matter what the rains are, is a good and desirable thing; it will make everyone who sees this road and uses it want more roads just liae it, and it will cause more roads just like it to be built.
