Under the above caption, we, last week, referred to reported delinquen? cies in the mails, and some of oar read? ers have inferred that our strictures were meant for the Sumter Post Office, and we rise to remark that nothing of the kind was intended.

A short talk with the President in? forms as that the Factory is in a satis? factory condition, and it only needs the additional machinery to place it on the high road to prosperity. Sumter ought to see to it that the needed amount is furnished. If all the vacant space were filled, probably, one hundred bands would be employed, and that, of course, would be for the benefit of Sumter, for every additional producer brought to our town adds to its business. The experience of those who lost their stock in the Factory has had a very chilling effect upon their interest in it, and this is the only explanation of the present indifference to its welfare. The town needs the factory as well as other similar enterprises to bring an in? crease of population ; and the fact that it failed at first, when weighed down with debt, and while passing through a crisis of financial and business depres sion of great severity, is no valid reason for a fear of failure now while on a cash basis and with business brightening ; and we might add, with the lessons of experience which have given the Facto? ry well trained managers and hands. If the manufacturing of cotton can be "profitable anywhere in the United States, ?arely it must be here where freight is saved, and wages are low. That it does pay is showu by the few failures in this State in that line of in? dustry. We see no reason for a second failure in the Sumter Factory and it seems to us that those with money to invest will do a good thing for themselves aud thc town to take sto?k :n getting the needed machinery, and thrcby enabling it to run full handed. The future^ development of Sumter depends to a great exteDt upon thc in? troduction of manufacturing enterprises, and its business success will be meas? ured in a large degree by the public spirit of its citizens who* will iuvest their money in such. Farming interests, will of course materially increase iu Sumter County, for an impetus has been given to agri? cultural pursuits which will bring forth ex^^?D^y ?wifeuit,an#wereyt^not fer ??e borden;; of debt weighing upon the farmers; we could all be assured of abounding prosperity, but tue debt is on us, and it behooves both town and County to - vary their - industries and leave no stone unturned in the effort to bring in new capital and encourage new enterprises. It will help the County as well as the town, and the business thrift which seems to be the accompaniment of manufacturing centres will be an in* spiratibn to the laggard and encourage? ment to all. SPICE. Just after the war, the spirit of con? tention and strife which four years of camp life had developed, and which could not Sud vent in those piping times of peace in shooting Yankees as during the war, broke out in intestine broils, and much blood was shed through the South, as the result of this condi? tion. , Our State papers are now in a some? what similar condition. They have been busily engaged fighting Republi? can thieves for a number of years, but now that the g. o. p. has been kicked out of politics in South Carolina, and the papers are rid of their ancient foe, the fighting propensity is still so strong that they are pitching into each other most viciously for lack of other enemies. For instance, the News and Courier, ia response to a charge on the part of the Register that if there be a Ring in the State, it is the Executive Committee of the State and that Ring is on Dawson's little finger/' retorts by saying that "this is what may be termed a splendid effort on the part of the hungry office seeker who compounds statistics, slander and slops for our Columbia contempo? rary." Saturday's Register contains a card from its editor, from which as a specimen of its vim and e&reestoess we clip the following : "Now, then, I would ask who is this F. W. . Dawson that he should even dare to call me to account before the people of South Carolina ? it is true that I care no more for what he or his paper may say against me than I wonid regard the vile tongue of a harlot or the reproaches of a paid clacker. Bat yet, by what right does this thrift-seeking adventurer undertake to assail me be? fore the free-born men of my oap y^ tive State? Whilsj^H^Qg uQ?er j5*???HPSuWfe expected that he, "witlfth?owar(jjy adroitness of which JieJjMpp master, would push good men between himself and thc stripes which he knows in his heart were aimed at him." And then our Charleston contempo? rary is carrying on a tilt with the Spar tanburg Herald over some statements made by the Herald in reference to the C???del ^and Mayor Courtenay, charac? terizing themsjis a lie^a lie . wft^c*r" eumsta?ee," "a lie most uncivil/Tfco, and says the Herald may be "regarded as one of those journals which *lie ten nights swake' and then 'lie still and slumber." The Herald responds by publishing several affidavits to prove its assertions, and closes by expressing an earnest desire to meet the N. & C. man off in the woods by himself. In order to gratify that yearning desire of the Her? ald, the Ni- & (7. mao invites him to Charleston. Our esteemed Anderson contempora? ries are determined that Mayor Courte? nay and the News and Courier shall not have a finger in all the newspaper quarrels and have gotten up a nice lit? tle one of their own, and arc at it hun ?mer and tongs. We hope their respec? tive offices are on opposite sides of the city, so that there may be no necessity for a personal meeting, unless like Bro. Jones of tbe Herald, tbey^ are really anxious to punch each other's heads. Several other side shows of a similar kind though on a smaller scale are be? ing carried on, but none of a serious nature. We read with much pleasure the sound and sensible editorial in last week's Press and Banner on these un? seemly rows. We hope our belligerent brethren will read, reflect and repent. ? ?a- - MUSIC. The Red Jacket Brass Band is pro? gressing finely with their musical edu? cation, and can already render some pieces in a creditable manner. We listened at one with much pleasure last Wednesday evening. But we must confess that we heard (we did not listen) most unwillingly to thc length? ened practice of the member who plays the bass machine, one day last week. He brayed and tooted, and tooted and brayed until we could have seen the of? fender commit harikari without regret. If the band will just rent a hollow cy i press 'iown in the swamp as a place for ^practice, we know one person at least who will vote it a resolution of thanks. WOMAN'S SAFEGUARD. The following extract is worth being read once a mooth, in the present de? moralized condition of society. It says a great deal in the fewest words. It tells the girls how they can avoid the very appearance of evil, and gives ad? vice which, if followed, will save many a heartache: "A woman's safeguard is to keep a man's bauds off her. If you need his assistance at all, take his ann instead of his taking yours. Just tell bim in plain English to keep his baud* off. He may not like it at first, but he will respect you ten fold more. Men will do just what the women allow them to do. Men i will not do to trust. Give a man your ! arm and you will find him very confi ! dential, and he will take a great many ! privileges he would not take if he was not permitted to do so. He will give your arm many a loving, sly twist, and squeezes that he could have no oppor? tunity of doing ; an opportunity is just what he is after. A few more words of advice aad I will close. Keep your girls off'the streets except when they have business; Teach them it is un? necessary to go to the post office every time they go out. Your girls can go home alone just as well as your boys. If possible, instill in their very nature that they are safer in their own bands than they are in the hands of any man -preachers not excepted." Clarendon News.

It was thought that its soul of music had de? parted with the winds. A tuner and repairer was sent for. He said he could fix it for $50. Mr.Jno. B. McClure, one of the members of the lodge, thought he could fix it for less. He took it to pieces and found that the trouble was caused from dampness, which had swell? ed some of the wood work. This was allowed to dry and the organ is now in perfect order. Mr. McClure found it only necessary to purchase fifteen cents worth of glue to secure the ivory tops on some of the keys. He had never seen the inside of an orgao before and completed the task successfully in a day and a half. Of course he made no charge for his services.-Charleston Sunday Dispatch. The father of Sir Richard Sutton, the owner of the Genesta, was one of the best sportsmen in England, though he had not the same taste as bis son. He was celebrated as a shot and an. angler.

Mr. Editor : In your issue of September 1st, "Vox" says in a letter dated August 21st, that Mr. Ballard's fine horse was stolen, and that the thief could easily be caught as he is still loafing about the neighborhood. Capt. Gaillard says that on the 26th of that month armed with a warrant for the said thief, he went into that neighborhood where he ?3 well acquainted and could not find a single man, either white or colored, who had seen the thief, Porter Davis, since the theft was com mitted. He further says that "Vox" knew of bis presence in the neighborhood, and if he was anxious for the arrest, and bad either told bim where to find the said Davis, or offered his services they would have been ac? cepted and the thief caught. How is THAT. Some Ideas on Hoad Working. MAYESVILLE, S. C. Mr. Editor ; By your kind favor I would open a discussion in the matter of "working" the public roads-a matter, to my mind, of the greatest moment as regards our internal and domestic welfare. Since arriving at the age of sixteen, forty-five years past, I have al? most incessantly heard the road working song with no harmony of sounds, only dis? cord, strife, and sometimes blood-shed. I would ask what is the condition of the roads since the late working ? Some of the growing farm productions have been destroyed, with no benefit to the traveling public, so far as my observation has extended, while obnox? ious weeds are left, to the impediment and great discomfort of those who use the roads, and especially of pedestrians. I can point to a piece of road^near a church, which even a moderate shower renders impassable without wading, to the great discomfort of ladies and girls, who are effectually barred from return? ing home from church or school for a length offline after a rainfall unless they wade. Said piece of road, could, with comparatively little labor, be made not only comfortable to the traveler, but almost as good as a pave? ment to the pedestrian. It is one of the an? cient roads of the* State; has been subject to road duly sioce my earliest recollection, and yet there are numerous places where the road carves around a stump or tree ; dead trees are standing dangerously near with their limbs projecting over the road ; the roots are washed and worn naked so as to lie above the surface causing horses to. trip and fall, to the danger of man and beast. This is no fancy picture. Such roads can be found all through Sumter Couuty, and we all know that they are exist? ing realities, but in making these complaints, I would say to all that I have made these specifications with no^m^if^-Wa^reihought or evil integt&-xft1s only my design to snow the faceless failure of the road working "sys ^gm," and to point out a better plan to be enacted at the next sittiog of our Legisla? ture. I believe tbat we shall never have efficiency in road working in any other way than by taxation. Let there be a special capitation tax levied on all who are subject to road duty, also a special, uniform lax, regardless of the va'ue of the animal, on all working animals, also a special tax, regardless of value, but regulated by class, ou all vehicles of trans? portation, lastly but not "leastly" let us surely have a special tax (for the same pur? pose) of not less than one dollar on each dog except the hound, (hounds are useful and should be exempt.) Ja this way I believe, without doubt, a revenue would be created, sufficient to insure good roads, and that too without burdening any one, and at the expi? ration of one decade, we tax-payers, will have certainly gained in prosperity, by pay? ing this tax, and in a still shorter time the roads would be so improved that the taxes would become less and less. I could itemize and show conclusively that the tax-payers must gain, even at the start, but must defer for another article. B. Castor Oil. One of the chief uses to which castor oil is now put is that of dressing and softening leather for boots. It was formerly nsed for dosing children whose stomachs were dis? ordered.

I cannot find words to.express my confidence in the Glenn Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver, when functionally deranged.
