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^

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.

Over 300 billa have been in- 1
troduced at the nresent aeaainni'

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 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.

ureat Uiing, yet it seems to many
that the greatest advantage of
tins bill is the wonderful objecf
lesson which 100 to 500 miles of
fine road will produce when
built in every State of the Union.
From this appropriation
South Carolina would receive
