We have before us the following letter addressed to a prominent busi ness mao of this city : "/ am informed that the business men of Sumter want to build a cotton mill, lut for some reason the matter hangs fire. 1 would like for you io write vie whether they want some help from the outside from a man ioho could bring a strong subscribion and take the management of the enterprise My friends all want me to undertake a cotton mill, and I icould appreciate this informat ian with a view of conferring xcith them if yow think there is an opening? There ought not to be any trouble to build a ten thousand spindle mill there with a good man from the outside backed by a good subscription. I will be glad to hare an early reply at your convenience 17 This letter is from a well known Sparenburg man who has been for jear3 and is now identified with the cotton mill business in that section fie has the practical experience and the financial resources to make a mill a success in Sumter, and he is seek? ing a locality where there is an abun? dant sappiy of cotton and where the field is favorable to a new eotton mill. He means business and can command all the money necessary to establish a mill, but he prefers to locate in a community that is pro? gressive and will cooperate with bim in establishing a mili. This is tbe solution in a hut shell : Does Sumter want a cotton mill ? Will the business men of Sumter put up ?100,000 to secure a $200,000 cot ton mill ? If they do not want a cotton mill they have only to refuse to cooperate with this experienced Spartanbnrg mill man, and nothing more need be said. Extended comment is not needed and we prefer to leave the matter as it stands on its merits. In times past we have written much about the advantages of cotton mills and much about the desirability of securing outside capital to supplement local capital ir; establishing the cotton miil industry All that we have written in the past holds good, and we be? lieve that to one questions that we have stated nothing more than the hard facts when favoring the estab lishrnent cf a cotton mill Now oat side capital is offered and all that the Sumter people have to do is to meet the offer half way. Wilt the business men r.se to the occasion ? I Wi!! they do their part toward giv j ing Sumter a big cotton mill or wii! j they say io outside capitalists that no mills are wanted, co capital is invit? ed to invest it: Sumter and that Sum ter prefers to go on ir: '.he same old ru. .

I but it is a taz upon ali newspaper ! and magazine readers Priers must ! go no for paper to print upon, and j then there must be an advance in the price of the printed uewspap.-r or book o: periodical It is a tax upon learning, upon information, upon the j general intelligence j The taxes un pulp and paper should bc reduced at once The present tariff is a curse and disgrace. The republican gang is alone respon? sible for it There are many reasons for reduc? tion and not one for its continuance. Under the law robbery, wholesale and endless, is perpetrated The Philadelphia Times says : "The paper trust is now taxing the newspaper and book publishers of the country many millions, not be cau6e of any such actual increase in the cost of producing paper, but because the trust has the power to extort from the purchasers of psper up to the extent that would make tariff-taxed foreign paper and pulp cheaper than the ptices demanded here This trust has played its scheme of extortion to the uttermost, and congress should at once remove j the tax that protects ao American industry and that has become only an aofent to rob the consumers, j "Two thirds of the wood pulp U6ed in the manufacture of paper for American consumption should come from Canada, but it is excluded by a tariff tax. and we are now rushing headlong in the destruction of our forests." It is not creditable to the intelli? gence of this country that such a method of wholesale robbery should be possible or tolerated It is de structive and it is oppressive and should not be apologized for or fa? vored by any man of even pretended respectability. The Times says, and wisely says : "The two conclusive reasons which should make congress act promptly are-first, that the paper trust should be at once halted in its rapid destruction of our American forests by the admission of free wood pulp from Canada ; and, second, that the present extortion practiced by the paper trust upon publishers of newspapers and booka shaii cease to have the protection of the govern? ment. "The time has come when any trust that makes arbitrary profits by tariff duties mu3t cease to be pro? tected by the government " But what can be expected from such a congress as the present one is known to be ? It is like its party-a republican robber and oppressor, without fear or conscience. Its life and hope are based on schemes of robbery It cares nothing for the people-the mass-and of course nothing for forests. Tue thing to do to please the rabid, wicked, debased party is to rob The thing for the decent, reputable members to do is to put paper and pulp on the free list The Times is right when it says that "the paper trust has demonstrated that these taxes serve only a single purpose-that is to invite robbery under color of law." The paper trust is perhaps the very worst of all trusts for it not only robs a great publishing class, but it piaces an embargo upon brains-a tax upon education-a levy upon amusement-a tariff upon news. There is no c!as3, thete is no condi tion of men who is in the remotest degree benefited by thi? law eave only the class who cronje and run the piper trust The Kansas City ' ?tar says of this vile oppression and : wrong: 'Ts there the least shadow j ci an apology for imposing a penalty j on a business or profession which j yields to the public the great moral cf educational service performed by the newspapers and migazines ? I Theie certainly is not. The -yranny : of the paper trust is not justified even j as a fine and punishment inflicted on the newspapets for their general cen? sure of combinations against trade.r ; is there any possible chance to have I the evil cured-the oppression re j moved : Republicans say they are ! opposed to trusts. If there is any j truth in this why do they not razee j heavily the great tariff tax-why do 1 they not strike down this senseless ! attack upon information and enter? tainment ?-Wilmington iiessenger. - 111 ll ? <BB?

The coses of principal importance at this terni were the State against J. P Bro** for criminal libel and the State against F. H.

The case was hotly contested and lasted about two days, the defense being represented by Messrs. J. F. Rbame, of Mannipg, and Lee & Moise, of Sumter, and Solicitor Wildon was assist? ed in tbs prosecution by Capt. W. C. Davis, i Tne j iry returned a verdict of guilty, witb a recommendation to mercy. Before sentence was D'.sa?d Richbourg the prosecutor, asked that the jadge m3-ke the sentence aa light aa possible, as he (Richbourg) was only wishing a verdict as a vindication.
