April i b. '-S***, Li?IN I'-.il'.w Sp irttuiLiirg', i We take it for granted ti.ut nu rea ler of this paper in *.? short-sl? it o l as t-> to see til" importance of a cotton factory at UJ?-? place. lt ls, admitted hy everybody ilia*, we must have a fa ttory r-?'i I yet the thing don't ?rome. TowtH all around ut rtr-? l?ui:?i in > aa fail ai i?r?ck and mortar can : e put together. In every direction will t>e thriving factory towns. which, in the course of tim?, will cripple this place bevon I reparation or recognition', unless we speedily rise to our rmpor. tuniti'?s. We bayo lar/.' and -.mall property on nen here, who would be bpiiefiite I hy ail MiCrHse in <. ir |KIJI ula'.i'?n and we have business mein who c m iii ?lfor I lo iii ville their pres ent good trade. To these we again appeal for oh? more hearing oil tho subject of a cotton factory Spartanborg has e nue to realize the Importance ol having a factory in that citv, in od litton to those in the cou li ly, and has originated a scheme on the instalment plan, which wo desire to present to those wiio wo lld have Laurens keep abreast i:i the grand mar' i, i rogress on* section is mak ing. The Caro ina Spartan says : The aim of the subscription committee is to get 2,000 ->':.u-. ->. They now have over fourteen hundred. Suppose they get the full amount taken arri order payments to begin for April. J:..*, will give $2,000 to begin with. A suitable site can bo purchase 1 for a |K>rlion of this money. The first of May they have $2,000 more paid In. Brick making can he commenced with that. Hy the liri-, of next April tito compa. ny will have received ?124,000, or nearly one fourth of the capital stock. With this amount suitable build inges cm he erected-. Tho next thing will be the machinery. The company can either borrow money or get the machinery on time and have it ready to go in as soon as the building is completed. So that with 2,000 stock holders, n cotton mill might start with in sixteen months after the first pay ment. This ls a plan so fr.r as wc eau see perfectly practicable, and wc venture the assertion that if a b.-w of our most progressive men would undertake lite project, we could raise the amount with little difficulty in a very short while Our Building <S? Loan Associ ation has been a great success, and has been thc means of saving many a Mollar that would otherwise have been expended injudiciously. Let ns try a cotton'faetory on a similar plan and everybody can take stock. In this way we -viii show to the world that we believe in the doctrine we preach. It will be the beginning of the great est boom that, has ever struck Mirons, and while benefitting the i ,irn by making it to grow-by bringing an influx of working men and women-by giving additional employment to those who are hero,-it, will enable yoting men. and men of limited means to no cumulate a small surplus, which will be steadily increasing all the while. Noto factory in thc State fails to pay a dividend, and where anything like good management is scoured they all pay handsomely. Now let's reason to gether a little and then put the shoul der to the wheel. If we mean to rise and claim our share of trade ami make tim a desirable place, we must do something. The College Those men who have made a great demand for a separate and distinct agricultural college in this State ought to bc happy. The/ have claimed all along that $100,000, was all that they wanted, and now claim that they can realize this from thc gene rous legacy of Mr. Clemson. This being true, wc fail to see why thc friends of the measure should nntici pate objection. What matters it who objects? If $ 1000,000 is asked, and $1000,000 is received, who con object? We have opposed this college hereto fore mainly on thc ground that it is not the province of thc state look af ter technical training so much ns gen eral education. That a school on the University "plan, where nil the arts and sciences arc taught, is more impor tant than a school to teach any one science or art principally. After Hitch au institution is provided, it is a question of expediency and not prin ciple whether tho' state should appro priate more money for educational purposes. In bis !*?tt*?r which we published last '.teik Capt I). K. Norris n-ks the question: "Wim* irguments will our opponents ini?et us with now. the ques tion of expense is UK-'.?" Since he airy j say? in tba! letter : Our college is a certainty.'" we are a* a loss to know what ??tie will be substituted in tin coming campaign as Ute | m:?iri bobby of 3 certain class of t* litician* is thereby taken from them. The news now comes that over in Georgia, the prohibitionists have 'le eidcd to enter i.sndidates for state j>os'.t.ior.s in the coming campaign. Whether lite democrats of Georgia .vii' fall into this error, remain lo i>e v en. but< '-r'-.at it is that many small bore politicians id most <>f\he Southern States wdl work the prohibition issue for ali it is worth. it is rennrkrvhle. to what a degree ol partisan feeling i Ibis sui.? may lei!, but, what is still more rcmar&ble ?-. the hlindening influent e it sct-ms io carrv along with it. 'I ?i no binn in a man hon estly believing that lue proper treat ment for inebriates in red hot statutes. Indeed, tia: majority pf prohibitionists are hs c?nciencious ?s ?rere thc ( hris Fathers, i id our observation ha* been, toa', in ni .<.. cases ont often, when these eonseicncious m-n attempt to further their cause I y putting on*, candidates, they pick a sneak, wno would put o! ? Judas to siiaine *s a hy? l>o'-riie. We 'iave the utmost respect I for those who are striving by honest, elfo rta to put down the liquor traffic, and wilile we may differ a? to the means of accomplishing that er. i. we cannot but honor the man who has espoused the cause of humanity, and by j r.ioept and example proves his pro fession. Hut ??i'.-n a political aspi rant run-? wild 6n the subject, and dubs himself th? temperance candidate, while he slips into the back door of the lal ,<>:\ or .slinks away to appease his appetite on vile patent medicine, he ta only an object of contempt. j Men may try to reform and fail : for such we have only pity. Hut ; when a man continues to oct thc hy? pocrite by attempting to cloak ins j short-coining by making louder claims to virtue, he hus reached the last roun >. on thu dccondSng ladder. The c sample of the old parson Pridgcon, who preached Ins own fune? ' ral sermon over in Georgia n few weeks ago, and did not die at thc ap pointed time, is likely to be followed by others, ns the wicked newspaper men present, who sat on the coffin, took up a coi lection for the benefit of the "corpse." Should the convention which will si>o:i meet in Columbia decide to make nominations, it will raise a howl from the mountains, at least v the middle of tho stale. These peo ple arc anxious to have a little more time to hunt about for the candidates for these nominations. Fellow citizens : We must either quietly submit to the inevitable fute of having the mngnifleant prospects of Laurens blasted,-see our excellent , trade cut up and distributed elsewhere, . or, build a colton factory. Let us this I day make a decision. '.Hase ingratitude and stupid tyran ny ' is the headline over an editorial in Kdgefield Chronicle, which scores Capt Tillman unmercifully. Inas much as Maj. Bacon lins heretofore pulled so hard for "Moses" this is rather a strange freak. It i? now reported that dukie Sharp'.: of New York has not gone to that bourne of which Hamlet lias more or less to say, hut that his death was a hoax, and the noted convict only cross ed thc Canada linc. We beg leave to second the nom ination of Col. C. IL Suber, made by the Herald & News of Newberry, to bo delegate nt large to the St. Louis ' convention. The Darlington News thinks the muttering threats against Congress man Largan will not amount to much. His fight on thc Blair Bill should be sufficient to return him. What a harvest the small-boy will soon i?e reaping. A man in Kentuc ky wants * 10,000 worth of bumble bees to send to Australia to fertilize clover blossoms. It is rumored that Ex-Mayor Cour tenay will soon become editor of the Charleston World. If this be true, we may expect lively journalism in that city. A school - teacher In Buffalo County, Dakota, whose wife was one Of his pupils, had occasion to punish her one day. The next day the Hohool-houso boro tho inacrlp tlon : "Behool closed for ono week owing to the illness of tho teacher." The Australians are ?aid to be the greatest betters in the world. Annually t !00,o00,000 changes hands over horne races. DEMANDS A LK'EXSE A Motlieal Student Gets Loft on u License und Yt nut? ii Mnudnuius.
