SATURDAY, Fm?AJj i 23, 1373V: A Col'on Facti iy, .It will be ?eeu by our r< i>f>r( n| the proceedings ol' the Agricultural Society that a committee is appointed to take subscriptions to the capital stock of a cotton factory in ? urTown No enterprise is so tnucli nccde i, in our County and in every section where cotton is grown, us this; and certainly cur fanners and merchants will givo it all the aid possible by investing a small portion of their s earnings in the stock. ThcdiH'orence between the price of '132 bales of cot - ton in our market and the same amount of yarn will he over 20,000 dollars; and just that amount will be saved to the Conntj of Orangoburg by the success of this enterprise. This sum will be kept at homo and I) 0 n ployed to advance the material pros perity of our citizens; thai is, the sum of 20,000 dollars will he pn! in cir culation in the County,the 11 v. more than the present year, by so small :i? enterprise ns that proposed by the Agricultural Society. The accumulation of property d >cs not consist in storing away substance for gradual ccjibCinptioii, bui in the gradual increase of aggregate values. The Indians of our Western Tcrri toriesstore away their year's supplies only to bo consumed as tlieir necessi ties demand and never accumulate property; but when a man saves over and above his actual expenditures a certain amount of grain or cotton, or other values then he is wealthier by that much. If he exchange these values by investing them in a factory, or some other f ucccssful enterprise, he again increases his wealth; and tl.uts by repented exchanges or invest ment is property accumulated. If our fanners would invest only a small portion of their values in the pro pesed factory and form a joint stock company, the increase of propcity by H^^Wil.-irs over ami atiovo the inve.it B^^nieut the first year. Such an increase would warrant lar ?: op< rations and consequcnly I i... n cumulations; We trust the till srpri ? ? aiupic r ?-: 1 y begun may ? 1 ? >t be allowed to fill fruitless in the hands of the com mittee. Let books or subscriptions bo opened in the d if'.brent sections of the County and every effort,other wise, be made to carry i( to a success* i 111 coiisuination. And neither the County nor Tow n ol Orangeburg will regret the move three year.; hence. There are always resulting benefits from every new enterprise to the community w here it. happens to be located and this will be no exception to the general rule. I We wish the Agriculture Society all the success possible in this their new venture. j Radicalism. The Committee on Frauds submit, ted their report to the General As sembly on Tuesday last, and nothing can give the people oi South Carolina a better knowledge of the character of their late rulers, or a more perfect idea \ of the degradation to which their beloved State was subjected from 1808 to 1877, than this record ol'un paralleled crime and wanton abuse of power. Nothing can excite a more poignant sense of shnmc in the breast of our Northern Iraduccrs than this written evidence of the criminal ignornnco and the bold, shameless corruption of the very men they fostered, in order that a brave people might be humbled. Nine long years, they have indeed been of deep humiliation to South Carolina?a period of wantonness and crime such us has in v<r disgraced the annals of ancient and modern times. The world never witnessed before paper charging : ::-! v. rv nearly every j . \ . . ..11 against morals and law as that read in the audience of our Legislature on last Tuesday. Jt is the- record of testimony that ought (o damn the pcpctrutors of the crimes and consign their names to perpetual ignominy with no comfort save that horn of deep remorse. The following uro some of the items against the Legislators brought to light by this report: The taxes of the people were spent in payment fo r braudy, whiskey, wine, cigars and refreshments during one session to the amount of 000,000 dollars; for furniture, including the orders of individual members as well as the legislative haJU, over 200,000 dollars; for pens, ink, paper, envel opes, &c, 70,000 dollars nearly; for jewelry? rings, studs, diamonds ami watches?? an indefinitely large sum; for wood, coal, Ac, 10,000 dollars per session; and for shoddy professional services, including \vc suppose, expert punch makers, at the into of .00 dollars per day. Thus over one million dollars of (he people's money were spent to pau.j.er one hundred and fifty radical rogues forced upon South Carolina by Northern hatred. Can wo ever forget it ?
