COTTON MONEY. ive During the Confederate war quite or ? lot of cotton was seized by the Fed0;* oral troops and sold, and the money o, turned into the United States Treasfth ury, the money anlounts to nearly he #11,000,000. This money is duo the ad South, most of it duo this Estate, but ] k. o to only be collected Ihrough act ion u- of Congress, Mr. XV. S. Monteith is ice working to get a bill through Senin ate, to refund this money to the .tr- parties to whom it belong*. The in bill came near passing at the lly last session. Governor McSweeny ev- has also taken the matter in hand, >cd and has addressed a communication ed. to the governors of tho several Southlat ern states requesting them to join ins him in a general request to tho Southids ern delegation to Congress, to take lie some united action at next session iod with a view to insuring the passage the of the bill and afford to these claimmd ants tho necessary belief. It is to be by hoped these letters of our Governor the will have the desired effect. $11,ree (XX),000 will be quit? a windfall to the ain South. Tho money belongs to the ral South and she should have it. en- ? ' The movement which was agitated ors in the papers some time ago as to the ?? completion of the State House, seems likely to bear fruit. The committee apc,m pointed at the last Legislature tolook into the matter will make their report next week. It is thought that $30,^ 000 a year will do the work, and as it irk many thousands of dollars ;c_ to make the necessary repairs on the building as it stands, wo think it j would be tho better plan to complete :i10 tho building. We would then at least have a respectable building. To say the least the building, in its present shape, does not reflect much credit j upon me ciry or uie state. Mr. Hardwick's Ballot Reform bill which has been agitating the minds ,.cs of Georgia's citizens and her editors, and which would virtually disfranlcs chlsc ibe negro, came up for action in the House on Tuesday and was snowed under by a vote of 1517 to 51. Mr. Hardwiek says his idea was to disfranchise the ignorant purchasable negro, he like some others is of the opinion that this is a white man's se country and that white men should J rule it. But it seems there are those j in the Georgia Legislature of some">w what different views. op Wireless telegraphy is making rapid si ri<les forward for a place in the front ranks of rapid transmission of mc3:-'b sages.

' Our Correspondent Endorses "In IIis Steps?The Times a Very Welcome Visitor---Person:il and Other Notes. Messrs. Editors: The Times ia regular visitor, it comes freighted with the host of news from Union and the dear old county. It is carofnlly read and as the name of one faithful correspondent after nnother greets the eye and their scintillations are read, we turn the paper for the story "In His Steps,''' which engages the attention until the last line is finished. It is certainly a fine production and worth the entire yearly subscription to your valuable paper, and wo trust that the patrons are filing their papers for future reading or reference and I will add that the sense and discrimination exercised in the selection of this narrative speaks well for the editors. While the poets say the song makers mould character, the clergymen gives mothers the balance of power, but your correspondent places the editor as a mighty force, second to none, in the land, not only the editorial writer, but the "scissors" editor also, the two last, like school teachers, though not aware of the impressions they are stamping upon their generation, the forming of character upon the issues of the day, in which they play an important part, is a great responsibility. Here in Spartanburg the old cry of "cotton is king" is being repeated, as the farmer received a few more cents per pound for his cotton this year. As articles of all kinds have advanced in price where will bo the k Hi. a ut* ii triii: Union seems to be very well represented here nnd to keep pace with tlie brisk inarch of the Spartan?. Wo see Mr. Oliver Gnllman with a store well-tilled with edibles and plenty o* people passing in and out and therefore reason that he is doing i good business, and lie deserves it all. Lawyer McGowan's pleasant face shows that all is well with liiin. Mr. Wilburn, from Cross Keys, and Miss Annie Kpps, from Santuc, are at the Converse Commercial School and studying?they aro not idlers. Mr. Sanders is faithfully discharging his duties at R. M. Bowdens 6c Co. The smiling fuco of Mr. Louis Bates will greet you at Shivar's Mercantile House. The papers record daily the presence of some Union visitors or some Spartans on a trip to your town. The Presbyterian church is making good progress towards completion, and the congregation and pastor i seem all to pull together for whatever tends to help the eauso and Inspire a feeling of "each with his burden'' and "all of ono family." It grieved us deeply to hear of the death of Mrs. G. W. Going. She was a devoted wife and mother, and our sympathy is with the bereaved. 'A. Opening ofBooks of Subscription.
