OVR STATE'S PROGRESS.
Success always fiuoceed9, whether
attained by individual, people, party,
State or nation, and marks the advent
of greater things. .1770 American
Independence was declared ; 1S70
the era of South Carolina's democracy
and white supremacy, the beginning
of her steady growth, progress
and prosperity. For ten years
she struggled under the yoke of party
oppression and domination, the victim
of its unjust retaliation, her
humiliation, a prostrate State; but
with her patriotic, undaunted pesple
slowly and surely she rose from the
ashes of her ruins to eminence enm*
-?*pciably and politically,
au of the world gaze
^^Hrondcr and amazein*r.?*fas
jPSV^uch day chronicles
the birth of a new industry in the
history of her progress. From the
mountains to tne seaooaru m*r vasi
and varied developed and undeveloped
resources are dotted. Iron ore
of Greenville and Spartanburg counties,
the gold mines of Union, and
the recently ^developed tin mine oi
Cherokee county, near GafTney. A
car load of the ore was shipped tc
New York and was sold for a large
sum. Tito ore has toshipped tc
Cornwall^ t-^red,
States, the other being i?f"South Da- ljU>JJ
kota. It is said the ore from the aijV
mine near GafTney is the richest in I>U;S<
the world ; that of Dakota was never was
regarded as very rich, is one reason |iy
why there is no smelters for the ore cv o
in the United States; so South Caro- utss
lina can boast of another source of ulTui
wealth unknown to any other State Gii:l
in the Union. The Koolin beds of nut
Aiken and the various ether clays of the
value throughout the State. The Ul?granite
quarries of Fairfield and se!'1
Spartanburg yield the best and most J,u^
varied quality, in very largo quanti- l"'u
ties. Her forest of timber trees are as ,,;c'
varied and valuable ns her mineral **'
wealth, abounding in dogwood, per- tlJ
simmon, the monarch white oak
pine and hickory, maple, poplar and " ^
beech. Her water power is equal to ^
that of any other State, and is being ltj (
utilized in every business, for turu- jj.jj
ing the wheels of machinery, and ,.()J
furnishing sufficient and suitable lo
sites for electric power plants. The ?G
dam across the Catawba river has &li,
been completed, and the Wylie Elec- co
trie Power Co. have their plant ib
ready, the transmission wires will be of'
stretched to Rock Hill, where the shi
machinery of the several cotton mills bci
will be run and tho town lighted, 1>
also to Fort Mill and Charlotte, N. 'be
C. for the samo purpose. The dam wl
at Neal's Shoals, Broad river, will ',il
soon be complete^, the electric power Kst'
plant put in, transmission wires extended
to Union and Spartanburg for 1,0
the driving of all the machinery of the
cotton mills, knitting mills, nnd all ^
other machinery and lights of the ^
two cities, thus verifying tly wonderful
development of our State, (the
strength of man's mind in discovery
and invention), tho vastness of her ^
undeveloped resources yet unknown. ^
The opening of the Congaree river ^
for navigation, is a new and import- ^
ant industry, which will greatly fa
cilitate travel and transportation,
Since the opening of the Oongaree to ^
navigation and the launching of the
steamboat " I((flklander" there has
been two members of a very wealthy
English syndicate inspecting the
lands along the entire boat route, a
with a view to purchasing these lands n
for the purpose of planting them in "
cotton. (We mentioned several I
weeks ago that an English syndicate I
\
would buy lands in i?v> country, in
\'se cotton with imuiigraut labor, E
and ship direct to the mills in Eug- th
land to avoid the speculators us the E
English market had been ruined by di
Sully ) The rice fields of our State tl
arc now attracting more attention w
from outsiders than ever before. It
has been shown by comparison that tl
tho South Carolina rico ranks with >'
the best grown in any of the rice t<
growing States. From a purely agricultural
South Carolina has become a
one among the foremost of the lead- h
ing manufacturing States of the
South. Her cotton mill growth is t;
phenominal, there aro but few couo- w
ties in the State has no cotton mill o
which insures her commercial growth.
Her educational institutions erect g
for her a social standard, that wealth a
alone could not givo to the plebian. t
Her political principles are purely
Democratic from which sho lias never t
yet deviated. We now come home to i
Qfltr fttul*. ITniin nntinf w io 1 o/?L? 1 ??r? \ >1
none of the virtues, financially, so- c
cially or political that we have in t
this, given to South Carolina as a 1
State. i
OUR JURY SYSTRM. 1
i
Bad news always travels faster than '
good news. At the last term of court at '
Lancaster, Judge Cage, just before dismissing
the jury, said to them that J?oh'jiLor
lleury Utsiitd to talk to thrni.
iir. Henry liien addressed the jury, sayiug
that it had come to his knowledge
that tlfoiis had been made to tamper
with, and to exercise undue influence
upon t* e jurors during the term. Judge
Gage hud uimouuceu at tiie beginning < f
Uie term, thic it looked like a "wholesale
uiarder court," from ilia number of
murder etses to be lned, and as we suppose
tliere vvai ui; a wholesale couvicn
n by itie* juries, tlie inloriiuiion received
by the solicitor was somewhat
strengthend by the verdicts of the junes,
fhis proceeding found ample space m
tne columns oi' nearly every newspaper
in the ."State, because tliere was a breath
of slander, a whisper of \yiong and uis,
repute. Now we vemure the asier'.ion,
if Solicitor Henry hud putted ;?;.tl complimented
tue juiois upon the L.ithiu1
pi-iloiuiaiice of their duty, the Lancaster
papers alone would contain such a
, commendation, i'liere are good and
bad men, but we are rather li.ctiutd to
( place good as Hie rule, and bad as the
exception in our estimation of the citizenship
of this county.
At the opening ot Hie court iu ColhniJ^'a
