single exception, there was hot'a Factory

biIity of manufacturing investments at tho
South. All the Southern Cutton Facto-
tories are now doing profitable business,
and believe will be sustained by those
engaged in il in the assertion, that this
particular occupation has not had more
Than its share of the embarrassment, that
has recently attended every other pursuit.
The erection ofihe first Cotton Mill III
South Carolina, except one, may be dated
in 1888. Since which period, fourteen
have been erected. and | believe there has
been no instance of failure TO produce fair
returns for capital invested where The par
ties were nol embarrassed by Indebtedness
for the establishment Of such property. and
gave the buiiness proper share of per-
sonal attention. II is true that this species
of properly not as convertible into mo.

productive and less liable 10 depreciate in
value.
twill appear from the above That four
teen Cotton Factories have been put in
successful operation in South Carolina in
the last len years FIVE years of which time
we may say, has been lost 10 all enterprise.
From this irewing, think we n ay fairly
come to the conclusion, thar the ice is now
broken atd what may we not anticipate

From the Temperance AdrOeate.
DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.

The Agricultural Survey now in progress
in South Carolina, has dcservedEy excited
much interest, and its results canuot fail To
produce lasting advantages; but, however
enthusiastic few individuals may be on
the subjec, Of the improvement of the soil,
aud the advancement Of Agriculture, in
Soul! Carolina, The great mass Of our peo-
pie will no, come into the measure, while
there is au absence Of other stimulants
than The prospect of nero increase Of such,
Agricultural products as are made by the
roIa,ive system of farming, adapted 10 the
improvement orlanJ. A home market at
every mans door is the sIimulant desired,
and this can only be brought about by do
nlesic manufactures, divcrsifying pursuits,
thus stimulating emigration of population
and capital TO, instead Of permitting il 10
leave our Stale. IF this be the case, we
should not be unmindlul of its importance,
and while we are endeavoring TO excite
the cullivators of the soil 10 action on the
one, we should not be forgetGul Of The ne
cessity Of laying before our capitalists, The
advantage to he derived from The other,
aud at least in the absence OF The knowI-
edge of facts. abstain from unjustly dis
crediting this SORT of enterprise.
To those who have investigated the SUBJ
iecl, it is a matter of wonder aud surprise,
that the manufacture of Cotton was not
first established in The Southern, instead
of the Northern States. To such, the con-
cusion is irresistible, That our advantages,
(in climate, water power, slave labor, so
admiralty adapted TO such purposes, and
above all, the raw material on Ihe spot.)
are such as to secure success with an ordi-
nary share Of enterprise. Let the manu-
facture of this article be fairly introduced,
aud every other branch of mechanism will
follow. As in the. Improvement of our
lands, so is the establishment of manufac-
lures, we have much to contend with
The indonlilrable thirst. Oh the part Of our
planning capitalists. for inveslments in land
and negroes, aud disposition on the pah
of those Of our trading community who
have had the good lock to amass fortunes.
either TO lrunSfer thci" capital 10 other
countries, or TO be content to lock it up IN
interest t-bearing stock, will operate to lis
prejudice, until il can he demonstrated be-
you'd doubt. that such pursuits may be
entered ino with perfect certainty Of
success. We may approximate to this
by reference tolhc past, aud comparing
the cotton growing States with countries
that have grown rich by manufacturing.
This will al least show. that those engaged
in this branch of business at the South,
have sustained themselves fully as vel as
in other countries. Your readers are aware
of the immense sacrifices of this kind of
property in The manufacturing districts Of
Europe, and the Northern SlaIea after the
great commercial convulsion Of 1897
Many fine establishments were put under
the hammer, and SOLD for one tent of their
cost, many large establishments ~ers

WEARING FLANNEL,

Health 10 tie farmer, as TO all others, is
consideration of the first Importance
Blu, we find him more careless on this point
than almost any other class, probably be-
cause his habi's and pursuits, best entitle
him, by the irnmulable laws of nature. to
The largest shme of its blessings. Active
exercise in the open air, frugal regimen,
and the absence Of many causes Of mental
disquietude, are all favorable to the main
taiuance of health. Still there are many
errors unwitlingIy committed, which if cor
recsed upon the philosophical principles
would lend to the lessening Of human i'll.
With view 10 correct one or two errors,
which conceive 10 exist, beg leave TO
suggest few hintslespecIing the necessity,
and proper mode ofwearing flannel.
Flannel, consider, should be Worn al
all times and ,ha; wearing it promotes in
dividual comfort. ln this latitude, il is
probable that to the majority Of persons,
its use The year ronnd, would be far more
agreeable than otherwise, if The texture of
the material he changed to correspond With
The season. Many. however, will prefer
discharging it in summer, and this may al
any time be done witlIimpunity, by others
than invalids.
The idea Of flannel rendering its wearer
effemiuate, has been prejudicial to lis free
use. and TO health. The covering of all
animals, except our own species, is adapt
ed to their necessities sufficient at all times
to aford',hem protection ftom the ordinary
vicisitudes of The weather.

Auother false impression exists, Of the
danger of leaving il oft when it becomes
desirable 10 do so. When the weather is
such lIla, the wearer would feel better

reiinquishing il at any moment. So fal
indeed from such being the case, canno,
too strongly recommend the practice Of
laying ii aside at night, and sleeping in q

wearing flannel under clothing, is to pre-
serve the body al comfortable and uni
form temperature. Wool being Of a light
weight aud an imperlec: conductor Of heat,
is the best material to convert into such
garments, but at night ii is not required for
the sake of warmth. An individual in lhe

10 the same vicissirudes of cold and heat
as he is when passing abroad, TO and fro,
