The i -aureus Canning Factory.
Ono evening during the early part of
last week wbllo s party ot young gentle
men wero assiduously killing time In
front of the Bendella a suggestion wan
made that Laurenn should havo a can
ning factory. It'would bo haidly true
to aay that it was no sooner said than
done buf'very uear It.'' On the follow
ing day a canvas was mado (and con
fined for the most part to young inon,
some of whom are still in their teens)
and the greater portion of tho stock was
subscribed. '
Thursday tbo projoolors ol tho schomo
came together In theOpora House. Col.
H. Y. Simpson was called to tho chair
and K. H. Willies, acted as secretary.
It was resolved to mako tho capital
stock $2000, double the amouut at tlrst
Intended. A committee consisting of
Col. Simpson, J. W. Toddj and E. H.
Wilkes was appointed to mako arrange
ments to got tho plant Into oporation
as early as possiblo, with tho vlow of
being In time to manipulato tho grand
blackberry crop noarly ready to rlpon.
J. T. Johnson and W. W. Ball woro
appointed to secure a charter. So tho
''Laurons Canning Company" (that wrh
tho name adopted) is a cortnlnty.
Mr. Wllkos and tho othor momborsof
tho committoo aro alroariy in coitch
poudonco with dealers in regard to
machinery.
If tho factory is to be a success in can
ning fruits and vegetables, it must have
fruits and vegotables to can. At this
lato stage of the soason, tomatoes, boans
and okra aro about all that can bo grown
but it is important that thoso should bo
planted in largo quantities. Tho Lan
lord factory gay? 25 cents a bushel for
tomatoos last year and an acre will pro
duce from throe to six or sovon hundred
bushels. Okra brought sovonty-flvo
conts a bushel. Farmers can draw their
own conclusions from thoso llgnres as
to whethor thero is money in gardening
on a largo soala.
Tomatoos can bo cultivated tor aslittlo
as cotton. Three hundred bushels at
wenty-tlvo conts a bushel aro sovonty
tivo dollars?two balos of cotton.
One farmer near Lanford sold
tomatoes raised on a quarter of an ncro
last yoar for twenty-four dollars.
Thero is no dangor of ovor production.
Tho factory will put up from ono to tw?
thousand cans por day, in all probabil
ity, and bosldos thero aro factorios at
Lanford, Mooros and a largo ono at
Spartanburg to bo supplied. Romombor
that the money for thoso crops will bo
paid in July and August whon small
chango. as a rule, has gono ?fT to tho
summer resorts or otkor remote
localities.

A In McKinley Bill.
There has been a good deal of
talk recently in phosphate circles
in Charleston In regard to tho pos
sible rise in the price of all fertili
zers and similar products.
"Tho demand just now is not so
great as it will be in a low months,"
said a broker* yesterday to a re
porter. "But despite this tho price
is steadily going up, and I am of
the opinion that by tho time three
or four months have passed people
will have to pay anywhere from
$1.50 to $2 more lor acid phosphate
than ever before. The cause has
been tho closing of Coosaw River,
which has had tho same effect on
the land miners as tho McKinley
bill has had on the American man
ufacturers. Tho closing of that
territory has cut off 100,000 tons ot
phosphate rock, which means about
800,000 tons of fertilizers. A large
part of that rock went abroad, and
the foreign dealers liavo had to call
on the hind miners to furnish them
with what they require. This has
caused and, no doubt, will continue
to cause a deficit In the supply, as
the amount of land rock mined is
limited, and tho farmers have to
make it up by paying more for
what they get. Tho demand for
rock has always boon in excess of
the supply, and since the supply
has- been cut off now.^to demand
is, of course, in far grwter propor
tion and up the prices must go,
"Tho only people who aro reap
ing any benefit from this state of
n{fairs aro the miners in?Florida.
The foreign exporters havo found
it necessary to draw on Florida
for their supplies, and, of course,
the South Carolina Industry must
suffer accordingly. Ono reassuring
thing about it, howevor, is that a
iurgo number of the Florida mines
are owned in Charleston, and so
after all tho money comes back to
us in a largo measure* It might
also bo remarked that the 100,000
tons shortage means a decrease of
$100,000 in tho revenue of the
State, and this will be certain to
bo felt by certain classes very
heavily."?News & Courier.

My Tender Conscience.
( l .ailics' Homo Journal.)
I have a tender conscience,
That measures five foot three,
Whoso slight reproof is worth
whole tomes
Of cold divinity.
Who loads me by "a still small
voice,"
And, with a loving glance,
Reminds mo while tho lamp holds
out,
This sinner has a chance.
Whose form is over by my side,
And at tho door of sin
Thrusts out a white and rounded
arm,
And bars the way within.
No man can ever go astray,
Who pauses to reflect
That ho must meet thoso modest
eyes,
And keep his .solf-respoct.
So with a firm unshakon front,
I bid old Satan floe:
For I've a tender conscience,
That measures flvo foot throe.
