The future of the South is beyond comprehension-every day new enter prises are springing up and new de velopments are taking place. The last move is a cotton mill being moved from somewhere in Massachusetts tc Spartanburg. This is sensible, it is business. It is better to manufacture the cotton where made than to pay all sorts of expenses and freights to get it to the mills. The Northern mills musi all sooner or later make this move and unless they do so they cannot competE with those who do, and with the nem mills springing and to spring up. There is in the South thousands of water power yet unused, undeveloped which will come in; water power is no1 the only power. Steam, however,ostaf little more to run and yet it has ad , vantages not always possessed b3 water.. It has this-with steam a mil can be ~ located with a view to health fulness, convenience to cotton, trans portation and where the greatest suppl3 of labor can be obtained. The wate: mill must be located sometimes other wise. But in a few years water powe: and steam power will both succumb t - electricity. This is the coming powe for almost everything. But to go back to our subject-whi can foretell the mighty changes fo good that are to coming to us ? It i not in the manufacture of cotton good alone that the South is forging ahead we are having .located in different sec tions of the South industrial pursuits a almost every kind, every description a iron plants, factories for the manufac ture of agricultural implements, th development of coal mines, marble ani granite industries and hundreds c others, and yet the half is not told. Ii a few years, with courage and pluc: and determination and energy assiste by money we of the South will be th great manufacturing and industrii element of this American country with a climate and a soil unsurpassec the agricultural production will alik increase to supply the demands of tb hundreds and thousands of wag workers who must come to move th . anufact'uring industries of tb mn the -is will enhance in valu and the Tennessee ca-- - more plentift soon after, Robert ,,l be country. LMaighting and marching oney will becom-2et off withI T frade will fiourish-and we wifirr~. happy people. Our time is comning. eing ha e but to have courage and patience thr rea our reward. Pal Lt Newberry be up and doing. She Gu has a splendid cotton mill, but she als ought to have two. -It would require dic fve each of 10,000) spindles to spin her is cotton. She ought to have other indus- the tries. A canning factory has been tb talked of for years-a stocking factory, shoe factory, an agricultural implement C factory, a broom factory, a spoke and C hdle factory, &c. All of these are k pbabilities. None of them require a 'ed .lrecapital to start them-all could be C --started with less capital than it re- t quired build and equip the cotton mill. ~ Then put yourselves in line-if you st can do nothingelse find out a Northern ac cotton mill that desires .to come SouthA and induce them to locate here. To be in ca ln, to get the benefit of what is coming ti South, you must ask.for something andP show that you have pluck and energy a.d that you desire to have and intend , to have some or all of these things. ti 'That you mean to build up your town. and couinty. That you are neither dead nor asleep. The Centennial is over and it seems g that the only thing which gave offence was that the South Carolina troops did ~ not carry the nata-Om-ir" u Ste troops from other States So far as regards Gen. Sher man's opinion of it, no one in the ~ South cares a fig. He is unworthy the notice of South Carolinians. But ifr the troops entered a national parade, they should have carried the national colors. It is the flag of the country, and as such deserves the respect of every4 citizen. It seems that the Washington Light Infantry of Charleston were Ito blame, for they had a stand of nation al colors and because of some supposed slight to their Eutaw flag did not carry the national colors. They should not 'brji'ig the reproach of the Northern people upon their State simply to gratify a personal spite. The Northern army during the war was composed of Democrats as well as Republcanls, and those Democ-ats are devoted to the fiag of their country, andany .insult to their flag is repug .nant to their feelings. If we would make friends we must act in a different manner. We must at least respect the flag of the nation, and if we cannot do so we should refrain from participating in ceremonies of a national character. If a stock company can be formed in Newberry for a cotton oil mill, it could also operate an electric light plant for the town with very little additional cost for machinery. The same power will -operate both, as the oil mills run day and night. The oil mills do not -run in the summer months ; then an ice factory would work nicely with the oil mill. The electric light plant alone would furnish power enough for many small industries, and by the use of elec tric motors, which are taking day in the North. Ex-Governor Hugh S. Thompson, E x-Assistanit Secretary of the Treasury -under -President Cleveland, has bee' appointed a Civil Service Commis ioner by President Harrison. Libby Prison Wred. 'CicAGo, May 7.-A dispatch fron Maysville, Ky., says that a freigh train which was transporting tb Lamous Libby Prison from Richmon< to Chicago, was wrecked seven mile east of that place yesterday by th breaking of the'axle of one of the carn he remains of the war relic were prc fusely scattered about, and peopl i lcked to the scene all day to secur o ld bricks and lumber as' mementoes ao one was hurt. SHERMAN IS NAD! A South Carolina Company Roused His Ire by Parading Without the Stars and Stripes. [Special to Charleston World.] NEW YORK, May ..-"Only one mei dent marred the beauty of the whole day," said General Sherman to-day, speaking of Tuesday's military pag eant, "and that was the omission on the part of the leading battalion of South Carolina detachments to carry the national flag. "Only think of it!" he exclaimed, "the sole unit in miles of soldiery to { march without the stars and stripes!" "But do you consider this omission, General, intentional, or simply an over sight?'' "hre should be no such oversight," answered the old warrior. "There were only two detachments from South Caro lina anyway, not more than 200 men in the whole contingent. The second in order carried its flag regularly, and the absence of it in the leading battalion rendered the slight all the more notice able. Perha - those fellows down there are too good to carry the old standard, and thought that the Palmetto was a flag better suited to their dignity. Think of it, too, the only unit in the whole procession that was not saluted by the President! Notice the omission? He noticed it in a twinkling, and called my attention to it. But I had noticed it already, and was disgusted. The captain, or whoever was in com mand, saluted the President, a thing he had no rigiit:to do, by the way; but never received a salutation in return from Gen. Harrison. "Those men might just as well been Turks or Sicilians as far as any insignia pronounced them good Americans and loyaL The insignia wanting, a marshal had the right to turn them out of the r parade altogether. They were not a part of our military. It was the one blot on the whole day's proceedings, and I am exceedingly sorry for it." > "Did you return the officer's salute, r general?" queried the reporter. "I?" queried the general in reply, with a "humph" on its end. "I wasn't salutingindividuals, but the flag under r which I fought." As there were present only two de s tachments from the State of South Carolina, one from Charleston and the other from Columbia, they can easily settle it as to which is responsible for f arousing the general's ire. f WHAT THE UP-COUNTRY TROOPS SAY. [Greenville News, 7th.] A reporter from the Daily News I called the attention of Captain W. A. f Hunt, of the Butler Guards, to the a charges made by General Sherman .. against the South Carolina troops who marched in the great centennial parade. I Captain Iuut didn't display any agita e tion on reading the blustery allegations 61 of Tecumseh, and if he felt any mdig nation it was very clearly hidden by the smile which passed over nis face as , he said: "Well, so far as I happen to e know yersonally, General Sherman's charges are true in part, but they don't e go far enough.. Not only was there no national flag carried by the first divis e ion of South Carolina troops, but there e wasn't a national flag in the entire line of Carolina troops.

E. Bacon who w< ete Major at the centennial parade, m n the subject of General Sherman'. earks on the absence of a Unitdt taes flag in the parade of the South sp aroina troops, he said: "I really did TI ott think of a flag for our company till or .e were on parade. Our company M\ arieed no flag of any kind. I did not in .no how the parade would be ordered h4 ndd from a statement that I had seen y< n th ewspapers, although I had re- he eived no orders on the subject, I sup- cr msed that I would be thrown into a atalion, which would have been a fc atain wuld have a flag. there- T fore provided none. We even left~ our si company fag in Spartanburg. When a we got in line and the parade was well under way I saw that a flag was want- fi ing and regretted the fact, but noth- C ing could be done at that time. So ji far as any affront being intended, I ti think that imputation too absurd to b receie lodgement in any mind except fa those whose/mainspring is malice to o the South like that of Sherman. In conversation with Grand Army offi- c cers and men I explained the circuim- t stances and they understood it perfectly and attached no meaning to.it. "If we had wanted to insult the I government we certainly would not have paid our own expenses to go so far in order to take a patriotic part in theenenenial celebration of the RIe Postal Changes.

[Register, 7th.1 Mr. 0. F. Chappell, a well-known h: and highly respected citizen of this tl county, and a man whose word is as m good as his bond every time, called at hi the Register office and left for publica- vi tion the statement given below, which at gives an eye-witness's description of Gen. Roger A. Pryor's change of base tc from the Confederate to the Federal p lines, and as well sets forth the belief na of that eye-witness that General Pryor L deliberately deserted, and was not, as al the General himself claims, taken off* B his guard and made a prisoner. tl Mr. Chappell's statement will be k~ found very interesting reading, and 11 leaves room for some further explana- tl tions from the great New York lawyer: p Editor Register: I see in my last r Register an attecmpt to exonerate Roger h A. Pryor from desertion; also an at tempt to state the way in which he e, was captured. I thought the Con- p federate authorities settled the matter k and stamped him as a deserter, as he a justly deserves. I occupied the rifle b pit that General Pryor rode up to and t< left from, and will give you the way in p which he deserted. I was on duty as t< a skirmisher on the line of rifle pits 1 around Petersburg some time in the X fall of the year 1s64. An officer rode S up to my pit and stopped, took out his ( spyglass and looked towards the Y an- t) kee pits, which were close and in full o view. I will here state that desertion t< was very frequent from our line, and all exchange of tobacco and otlb r things was stopped. The officer dis- j mounted in a minute or two and said to me: "I am anxious to get a Yankee I paper. I will go out half way and ex- t change." I told him he could not go y unless he got permission from the t officer in command of the skirmish line. "Oh," he said, "I am General r Pryor; it's all right; hold my glasses a a few minutes," throwing me off my t guard. He (General Pryor) walked s fast and in the direction of the Yankee s pit directly in front of me, which was r in full view with the naked eye. I used the glasses that Pryor gave me to hold and watched him; saw a Yankee officer with two soldiers standing at I the side of their rifle pit, watching Pry or coming towards them. After Pryor s had gotten fully half way, the Yankee l officer started to meet him slowly, while Pryor was walking fast. They t met a short distance from the Yankee pit, shaking hands. Pryor never broke his gait. Pryor, trking the Yankee l officer's arm, walked through the skirmish line, without stopping, to the breastworks, which also were in full view with the naked eye, I watching < them with Pryor's spy glass. After I getting in the breastworks the. usual huzzah that"accompanied the arrival < of a deserter was distinctly heard. I 1 was and am yet familiar with the I movements of well-meant soldiers 1 meeting to exchange coffee and tobac- i co. There was alweys some caution used and always on halfway ground. There was no force used to get Pryor into the Yankee lines. He was in a bigger hurry to get there than the Yankee officer was. Pryor b if haversack full of 11N sach could us-- op,a-d a 1.'.s papers.

A trip through thai cour try will convince any thinkinf man of importance of rail facilities This section is not in that thrifty con dition that it would be if the good peo ple had a railroad in their midst. WE spent two days among these peop< last week, and we are sorry to say tha1 decay is sadly noticeable on every hand We speak more particulary of the sec tion near Walton and Glymphville n The section near Pomaria is in a morp e thrifty condition. They have railroa< 0 facilities which the upper section doe _ not enjoy. These good people are tol far from transportation. It is too fa - to haul lumber for building purposes or to haul fertilizers or cotton. Person living near a railroad have every ad vantage in price of cotton especially 3- True. many of these people, live withii r 4 or 5 miles of the Spartanburg an< y Union railroad, but old Broad river without a bridge, is between them, ane no town on the road near enough. W are glad that "Macl" has been in tha country prospecting and draws a stron; t picture for the necessity of a roa< s. through that country, and it is to b h hoped that there is a bright future ver; near for those people. Let the entei d prise spoken of by ' 0 vigor.' These people are well on per their farming operation, and they and the outlook for a wheat and oat anY p is very good. Cotton and corn tha ,h are making fine stands. The con ion of the prepared lands is favora to a good crop. y the way, we were very much \ uck with two pets owned by a very Cl e young lady, living near-Walton.su c first was a wee bit of a black pig, co e, round and plump. His pigship, me Tile very decent and docile, seemed to Tb .ve quite an air of importance about th4 in, which we we were admiring and th~ Tndeting at, when Miss F- said, la~ r. "Yube," I have another pet that I of ill show you. Out she went, and soonre ipped in with a huge o'possum play- toi on her shoplder. This species of m. idelphys" was subject to his fair ir mistress in a remarkable degree. Te had no idea that- an o'possum )uld be petted, and would become so layful and gentle and kind. He emed as gentle as a kitten. We areu nd of "possum," but prefer having bi im arranged with gravy and potato, ti nd if Miss F. will thus prepare him 04 nd let us know, we will be around. 0 .

Our farmers are putting in a good deal of corn this year as they find it to be their advantage to keep their corn cribs at home. Supplies raised at home is money saved. One of our neighbo.Js bought a barrel cotaining about fifteen g-allons _o molasses a short time ago and on open ing the barrel a few days ago he dis cvered a large frog sitting in the bbrrel.

A few days ago whi) walking around we heard the sou.d of a little bell and looking up we noticed a turkey buzzard flying aroind in the air with a little bell tied to his neck. On Saturday we were informed that the gentleman was last se'en near New berry still ringing his bell. He flew along very quietly and seemed to enjoy j the music of the bell. SIGMA. Another Railroad Heading this Way. The News and Courier of Thursday contained the following: Four always welcome visitor from the central section of the State spent yes terday in the City by the Sea. They were Congressman Dibble, that veteran Democratic war, horse, Gen. James F. Izar, and 11r.- .1. E. Bull, of Orange-; burg, and Mr. Fort, of Lexington I County. The visitors spent the fore noon in consultation with some of the business men and capitalists of-the city, with whom they had a conference on the subject of railroads. They will pro bably return here at no distant day on the same business. Gen. Izlar, who was seen by a repre sentative of The News and Courier last night, said: 'The object of our visit to Charleston is to talk about an air line railroad to run between this city and Newberry. The route of the projected line between Orangeburg and Lewiedale has already been surveyed, and with a little help from Charleston'it can be built. The distance is about ten miles. If we can build the road' to Lewiedale it is pro posed to push on to Newberry. Such a road would bring Charleston thirty or forty miles nearer to Newberry than by any existing route, the distance being about one hundred and thirty miles. In other words Newberry will be as near to Charleston as Columbia is now. The proposed road will open up a new section and one of the most fertile in the State, and will bring trade, to the State's metropolis. We will contribute something towards it ourselves, but we want Charleston's help and co-opera tion." Gen. Izlar added that the committee had talked the matter over with some of the merchants, and that they would probably return at a later day. The Orangeburg and Lewiedale Railroad has already been chartered and the route laid out. It will be - built Whether it will reach Newberry de pends, in a great measure, on what in. terest Charleston will take in the pro ject. 1 They Played a Mock Marriage on Simon.
