RENTs.-The subject of rents is one in
which very large portion OF our commu-
iry is interes ed. 1t is not only OF impor-
tance TO the poor, or to those who own no
residences, but to the whole community
TO the real estate owners as we'll as those
who have no property. If rents are ex-
travagantly high, strangers are prevented
from coming into our midst; and parties
with small capital are excluded from engag-
inc in business. Thus by establishing high
rents, a serious injury is done to the whole
community. If, on the other hand, rents
are moderate, and great indncement IS
offered to the merchant, the mechanic, the
artisan, to settle here. They may do but IA
small business, but still they add to the re-
sources of the city, for the more enterprises
we have in operati0ny the more attractive
will the city be to our country friends. II
there are but few m chanics or merchants
able to pay enormous rents, their work
and their goods must be proportionately
high, which will drive away trade and GUS
tom to more liberal and inviting cOmmunl-
ties. If, on the other hand, we have mod
crate rents, We induce competition, we Sc
cure reasonable prices for goods and work,
and Thus, trade which would 60 elsewhere
is stopped here, enriching all parties and
improving our city.
We have been led into these reflections
by report which has reached US to the
effect that for next year, rents are to be
more than double on the present rates
We hope that this is not so, for it is ex
ceeding difficult to pay the present exorbi-
tant prices; and it can scarcely be possible
that our property holders would stand so
much in their own light and in the way of
the City's progress, as to sanction any
such unwarranted increase.-AmgWstGP Press.

FoR THE HERALO.
Air Line Rail Road

Is in the way of being completed from At
lanta Ca, to Anderson in this State, andS
President and Directors elected. It is inn
portanttha capitalists should now direct
their attention to the connections. Letany
person take the map Of the State and look
at the maps of adjoining States, and he will
at once see the Importance Of a connection
between Nawberry and Chester. A Rail
Road of not greater length than thirty-fve
or forty miles between these towns would
have to be built,-making almost an Air
Line Road from the South to the North.
Augusta and Savannah, cities of sister
State reinterested indirectly in this road
for suppose the connection built between
Newberry and Chester-then a Road from
Newherry to Augusta would offer the peo-
pie of Western North Carolina and North
Western South Carolina facilities of trade
not only to Columbia and Charleston, but
also to Augusta and Savannah.
The portions Of the two States just men,
toned are composed of good, fertile lands,
and have an Industrious and thriving people.
Though depressed blythe effects, there are
energy and spirit enough in the people to
recover from that depression.
Now let any one examine a map OF the
State and see the connection which could
be m ,de IN the way suggested, and he must
at once see the Importance Of these eou'
nections and the benefits which would re"
suit to the country from them.
1t is suggested that capitalists should look
at these matters with view to their inter
eSts if to nothing else. CITIZEN.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

As it may be agreeable to the citizens of
Newberry to read the expressions of sympa-
thy manifested by the State Press toward
our town aud it's unfortunate sufferers in the
recent terrible fire, os we'll as the kindly
courtesies of the 'corps editorial" to our
humble se.ves, we publish to-day the follow
ing notices; regretting however, that the
hist is not complete, inasmuch as several
were inadvertently lost or mislaid. We take
this occasion to renew once more our as
surances of heartfelt appreciation. We
have also received private notes from various
portions of the State, offering substantial
help-here little and there little; fonts
of type from one, mallet, palmer, quoins,
shooting stick, etc., from another. Print
ing furniture here, and paper, &C., there.
Now, when we remember that the State
Press was almost entirely suspended, ami
hilated, impoverished during the war, AMI
while the managers were absent in service,
the enemy not unfrequently knocked their
Offices into worse than ''pi," leaving them
(the editors) poor, but ''brave and proud"
we have only to put on record the fact that
the editors of the Press of S. c., wear their
hearts on the ''right side of their shirt but
tons" But we cannot and dare not impose
upon them all, and with the help of neigh
boring confreres, number of new cash
subscribers, cash renewals, and a little
healthy labor, we have improvised snug
little Office, (which we cannot help admiring)
with it's neat little pulpit-ike stands, made
of dry goods boxes! and clean floors and
polished windows. 1t gives us cheerful
view of things, so we'll take heart, with
larger start, remembering "that nothing
is troublesome that's done cheerfully."

ADVERTISEMENTS

Our advertising friends will bear with US if
they discover any apparent want of uniforms
itv in the advertising columns. Some ad-
Yertisements have larger heads than others.
This is owing to the fact that we saved
several columns of advertisements from our
outside page, but lost the fonts, Of job type,
together with the inside pages which were
ready for press. Hence in resettiDg we are
obliged to contrive in every way to secure
headings until our new job type arrives. Out
of large and splendid variety Of job type,
we saved but one small cabinet, which is
scarcely adequate to give but a headline to
each advertisement.

PIC.NIc BY THE FREEDMEN.-Ou Saturday
afternoon in company with several gentle
men who were invited guests, we repaired
20 the beautiful grove in rear Of Mr.. Whites
house, to attend picnic given by the
Freedmen of this place. The long process
sion which had been formed at the Court
House and marched up Main-street, was al"
ready upon the ground in open rank, form
ing two long lines ofboth sexes arrayed ID
ali attire peculiar to that race. Ihe white
guests. headed by one Of the MarshaIs, were
marche ed through these open columns with
uncovered heads, and conducted to stand
erected in the grove.
Mr.. s Bobo was then called upon to ad-
dress the large assembly. He spoke
in true pat;iarchal style, with pla;nness,
earnestness and sincerity, laid down some
wholesome maxims for the government of
their conduct, and urged upon them the I'M
portance of being constantly employed,
whether the comDensation was much or
little. ''Six days shalt thou labor and do
all thy work." was his theme, which he en-
forced and lustrated to the edi6cation Of
his attentive audience. The address was
kindly received and loudly applauded. A
neat and we'll furnished table was set apart
for the Invited guests, with attendants to
wait upon them, while the freedmen were
summoned with everything that could tempt
theappetite. The managers performed their
duties we'll, preserved good order, and con-
Quoted everything with propriety.
With this cred:table exhibition Of their
hospitality, good feeling and thrift, we hope
that the freedmen of this community will
not permit these social gatherings to degen-
crate into licentiousness, by frequent repe-
1itionS, but will betake themselves to their
respective duties and engagements, and
show by their industry, perseverance and
good conduct that they merit the esteem
and patronage (which our people are dis
posed to accord to them.-Spartanburg Ex-

RESOURCES TO BE DEvELoPED.-There are

RESOURCES TO BE DEvELoPED.-There are
four distinct coal fields in the Piedmont
region, traversing Virginia and North Caro-
lina-the Richmond, or tide water coal
field, crossing the James river thirteen
miles Uest Of Richmond; the Piedmont
coal field, crossing the app 'mattox and the
Southside railroad in the vicinity Of Farm
vile, Va, aid ending near the James river
to the North the Dan River coal field near
the North Carolina line, and on the river Of
this''name and the Deep River coal field,
on the Deep River, in North Carolina. The
total productive area of these four fields OF
coal is about 500 square miles or 100000
acres, which at 20 feet workable thickness
of coal, will produce 6,40O,0OO,O0O tons OF
coal. or about one-third the estimated pro-
duction Of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
fields. The proper and practical develop
ment of these coal deposits would not only
be Of immense local value to the soils and
minerals of the interior of these States, but
would also command an export trade in coal,
and the productions facilitated by the a0un'
,dant supply and use of coal. The primitive
limestone range is in close proximity 10 the
Piedmont and Dan. River coal fields, con-
:sequently lime may I've produced for manure
.at.low and available prices; while RavIln
fire clays, plumoago, garnets, and soap
stones are abundant, affording ample op-
porrunity for many of the most profitable
uIsnutactures.
The great "gold belt" Of Virginia and
North Carolina also traverses the Piedmon
districts near this coal deposit, and in in
ainate connection with the gold quartz are
rich and valuable deposits of copper, silver,
lead, and sulphur.

The Newberry District Bible Society.
Will hold their annual meeting in this
town on Saturday the 4th August next, as
will appear by notice, inserted in to-days
paper.
Owing to the unsettled state of the coun-
try no meeting Of the Society was held last
year-in fact there can hardly be said to
have been full meeting, during the late
troubles in the South. Now that there is
some quiet, it is to be hoped, that the men,
bers of the society will manifest sufi-
cient interest in the cause of distributing
the Bible, and there resolve to carry out the
good work "A commendable zeal was ex7
hibited in this cause during the recent war
Should we not now turn oar attentionS to
the work of Life, enter upon our duties
with renewed vigor, and engage zealously
in the distribution of the Bible There is
now on hahd, in the hands of Rev EMr,
Smeltzer, a considerable number of Bibles
and Testaments for distribution-spd any

INDECENCY.- Our worthy neighbor over
the way, in its issue Of yesterday, enters
lengthy an eloquent protest against the i'm
modest innovations of fashion in the shape
of 'efalse calves" and ''tilting skirts"-a pros
test which we heartily endorse, and in which
we sincerely join. Some time ago we briefly
alluded to these immodeSt contriVances, and
asserted that they would not be tolerated in
Augusta; but they have arrived here, are
displayed in shop windows, with cheek
"plumpers" and ''palpitating bosoms We
said but little of them, because we did not
fear to trust the women Of Augusta against
these immoral temptations. We believed
then and we still berieve, that there is too
much virtue, too much mOdesty, too much
innocence here 10 tolerate the adoption OF
this, wicked inventions Of the age. We
doubted Gar right, as an old batchelor, to
discuss this subject; but friend has con-
vinced US of our privilege TO alude TO them.
and our sense Of I'd t rial duEy c0nVinceS Us
of our right to drnOunce them. Hence it IS
that we join our brother Of the CONSTITUTIONS
ali>t in hi> crusade &gainst them, and we
call upon the ladies Of Augusta TO sustain
the character which we here publicly assert
for them. Our mothers, sisters, wives and
dauchterS must be protected against this
insidiouS foe of virrue. coming in the comely
and fascinating garb Of fashion. They will,
we hope, need no persuasive eloquence, NO
elaborate argument, to convince them Of the
shame which lies in this evil doing We
reiterate our confidence in the virtue and
modesty of the women Of Augusta. Despite
the attractive display Of show windows, they
will frown down these modem inventions,
and trust, as they have always done, alone
to their own attractive charms. Intelligence
modesty and beauty are the characteristics of
Augusta'S fair.
Let these not be destroyed by the adoption
of indecent contrivaDces. Let the first
woman who has the courage to display these
things be the last. She will see the error of
her way and come back to the straight and
narrow path of virtue. She will soon agree
with US, as the ladies Of our City already
agree, that -
