I think no one can actually realizs what a blessed privi lege it is to bo an American citizen un til bo has spent somo time in Europe. I know thai I always coma back a more loyal, a more enthusiastic and a more patriotic American: and I always feel that this truly Amerluau growth and progress in itself amply ropays the time anl expense of the journey." "Oar hoto'.s," the colonel said, "are Infinitely bettor than anything you find overthore.-and very much cheaper. The service, however, is, in some res pects, better, and the traveller re ceives more courtesies and attention in ) European hotels and upon the railroads than he does here. Hiey aro very po lite ovor "hero, wherever you go, and it(ls quite delightful to receiveso many delicate attentions. I enjoyed the trip immensely-every one does?and my business Interests are now such that I go across twice a year. Tho trip is easily me.do and quite inexpensive, and while 1 am not posing as a "Cook Tourist,'' if you or any of 3 our friends want to go over next June, pack your grips and come along with me I will showlyou how it can be done cheaply and thoroughly?and at the same time will show you bow I conduct the Mill End Sale In London add Paris " Cur reporter accepted the colonel's suggestion with alacrity, and intends making one of his party?that is pro vided he gets his salary raised or can work the Cunard lino for a pass.

We re joice in tho prosperity of Clinton, while tho proposed mill will be for the up-building not only of Lauroos coun ty, but of South Carolina. The name of Bailey ought to bo a synonym of suo cess. So we await with tho more con fidence the proposed enterprise to a successful conclusion: '?Fine progress is being made toward the establishment of the second cotton mill for C inton. What is wanted to bogin with, is a $60,000 plant operating 5,000 spindles. Of tho capital stock about one half has been subscribed, and the books are now open for re ceiving tho capital subscriptions wanted. This mill will manufacture cotton goods, both yarns and cloths. A ono wishing to subscribe and take aiock, even if only one share in the enterprise, is invited to come for ward and subscribe, whether they are prepared with the ready cash or not; the matter can be arranged and the work begun at once. This new enterpriso is one of the things necessary to tho growth and prosperity of Clinton and the commu nity, and the Gazette rejoices becauso Of the spirit of enterprise that is awa kening our people. And now is the time to "strike while tho iron is hot." The mill will bo located out on the Bell estate near the town, where is Jilenty of water and tho best of clay or making tho brick, which will be made on the ground and placed in the walls of Factory No. 2 just as rapidly as tho cash can push it along.
