'Ibis is the fust isatie of tho Ti,mks in 1881, aud we cannot refrain from a word in entering upon the New Year. Tho Old, with all its fortunes and misfortunes, is gone; and tlw New, with its hopes and fears, its doubts and perplexities, ami its untried seem s. Is before us. The future is dark. As we enter upon its threshold, the question presses upon us,''watchman, w hat of the night?*' The answer is uncer tain. *vYc have no way of judging the future but by the past.. As we look behind, we see an ocean crested with the billows of strife in which many a frail bark is strauded and ruined, while others, more favored, find the still watt rs of piosperity. In the life-struggle, often the l ight is trampled, while the w rong nourishes as "a green bay tree.*' The battle is generally to the stiong, and the weak fall, unnoticed, by the wayside. In viewing the picture of human ills we often despair, and sigh that the reign of universal justice is so loug deferred. Rut let us not offend the great and wise Ruler id* the Uni verse. "It is not," says a recent writer, "the Almighty, but we. wdio are re sponsible for the vice and misery that fester amid our civilization., 'flic Creator showers upon us his gifts?more than enough for all. But, like swine, scrambling for fooct, we tread them in the mire, while we tear and rend each other." Tho sea of error may roll around us. Dark wrong* may seem to pros per?but the Supreme Ruler of all is wise, good and merciful. Let each id' us resolve to uphold the right, t<> rebuke the wrong, to raise up the weak, to succor the tin fortunate, to help'the poor, and tobe kind to all, and 1881 will not pass without a blcssing,and will prove in deed a IIa Nl-Av V KA K ! 1 HE ( 0RNLLS0N FACTORY. On i in -day aft Titoon we look a stroll through this new and promis ing factory, erect. : in our town by Mr. t11. I' irheisou. We were me! by -di-. I'erryclear, who courteously conducted us to the main building, and introduced us to M r. James I.. Hicks, the general superintendent, who kindly furnished us t lie in forma ? lion we desired, and gave us an in sight into t h< operations of t he estab lishment. Fro in what we saw and heard we feel satisfied that the enter prise is an assured success. There are four attachments, 1 li:* I spindles and about twenty operatives, and there is no doubt,with the well know n enterprise of the proprietor, that the ( opacity will be enlarged as theocca sion demands. Mr. Hicks lias had considerable experience' lie had charge of the line factory started in this stale at Westminster, sind has also been em ployed in the Cnmpcrdown factory at Greenville K. C. The machinery 'of the I oi nelson factory is operated by a sixty horse power engine. The factory con-nine; two bales a day. or six hundred bale* a year, which will furnish a market for about $:t0,()00 worth of coiton n year. Mr. Cornel son pays from three to three and a halfceutS a pound for the seed cotton delivered at the factory. The yarn i- worth from twenty four to twenty < tgl'.l cents per pound. The profits are estimated at ?+?*?<> a day. The spinners can ram about sixty cents a ilnvj lhe spoolers, reelers and carders earn from twenty five to seventy-live cent * n day. We have ha 1 the good fortune t.? visit tin- larger factories i i the 'upper part of the State, and we were struck with the same svsleui and good order in this Orangeburg enterprise. A number of women and ehildred are employed and utilized here as elsewhere, and all I he operatives seem happy and .. ... -.?;-... ... . i_... l.' !- ..i. .rrss^mmmmm. contented,and perfectly familiar with the routine of work. While this is a private enterprise everybody feels interested in it as a public benefit. There is nothing; like bringing.the factories to the, cotton and giving employment to those who arc unlit for more laborious work. The South has great advantages over the North iti this Hue of indus try.and :ts soon as capitalists abroad, as well as at home, are nwekened to this truth,there is uo telling . he limit to the prosperity of this sect ion of the Union. Till- CONDITION OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. The News and Courirr has taken the pains to send its traveling corre spondent to gather truthful informa tion as to the condition of the color cd people in all parts of the state. The result of the investigation shows that they arc making material progress everywhere, and there are many places in which individuals of them have amassed fortunes. They have th e same chances of prosperity as the white man. ami there is no impedi ment to their reaching any state of elevation, material or intellectual to to which their capacities entitle them. They have the same protection of the Courts and the right of trial by jury as their white neighbor. They have hotter chances of living than labor ers at die North or any where else tin the globe. Col. Met litre, the gifted corres pondent of the Philadelphia Titn*? who way snnl South to lind out the true state of things, admits that, his i his observation verities this fact, and ! even got s further, and confesses to j his paper that while he finds colored men, elected by Democrats, in the Legislature of South ('arolina,neither I party in Pennsylvania send? one rep resentative to the Legislature in that I Northern State for the immense uuftt I her of colored people within its bounds. It is a well kuowu fact thai the people of the North are 'less lolorant of tho political aspira I lions of the colored people at their j own homes than t he Southern people a re. If any thing should open the eyes of the colored people to the false pre tensions of the oifleo seeking carpet bagger, who soft soaps them in the South, this should. If the colored people would look ! into the matter fairly they would see thai the whites are not disposed in any way to interfere width their political rights, but .-?11 the other hand desire to help them to educate their children,aud become 1 ich.prosperous aud happy. And such would be the case, if there was less bitterness on both sides in politics ami more of a disposition tt) harmonize for the gen era I good. I THEY REFUSE TO HE COMFORTED. The comments of the Northern press mi the passage of the Duelling, the Whiskey and the Concealed wea pons bills may be profitable reading tons as showing the sincerity of tho professions <>f such papers for gener al improvement. Our consolation is that South Car olina is not legislating for Northern sentiment but for the progross of civ ilization. The J'ost, a Republican paper har bors the suspicion that the object i:? to disarm the negroes. The Boston Atlvertiter Hies oft'011 a tangent, and taunts us with tissue bailots. The New York Tiine* sneers at the work, and does not believe that it is sustained by the people. The Sntioii compares us to the in habitants of .Montenegro and Sicily It says: " The Albanian, however, has the advantage in manliness, as he carries his wcapou in a huge belt on his stomach, in full view of every body so that any one who does UO care for discussiou with him can keep out of his way." Is this the way to encourage refor mation';' We don'l believe, if the peo I pie of the North should conclude to nieiitl their ways, that the Southern press would be so unkind.
