This is utterly astonishing an 1 ?> ?yond th3 most vivid imaginations of the most s&iguin prophet of a year ago.

SOUTH CAROLINA FOREVER There seems to bo do abatomcn in tho extraordinary rush in estab lishing new in ill enterprises in Soutl Carolina. So much has been dom in that line, so much capital lia been invested in various sections o the State, and so much has been sua about it by all the papers of tin State during tho few mouths of thi year that it has attracted the alteu tion of tho whole couutry and now yoi 1 can hardly pick up a Northern pape; that has not a column or moro o South Carolina's great strides in th cotton mill building. Capitalists have an eye to business ' and they are readily joining band r with any and every community i this State that takes a notion t buill a mill. It has now beeo n * necessary to raise only a smal amount of capital at home to build 1 mill, tho balunce of tho necossar funds are forthcoming from Norther capitalists.
