StolI, Webb & Co.

We were pleased with visit from Mr..
Webb, of this we'll known and favoritc
Charleston Dry Goo house, on yester-
day, and gra'ifcd to hear of its contin-
ucd and increasing prosperity. The i'm
mense cash business done by this house,
S250,OOO during the past year, is suffi-
cient evidence of its popularity. Mr..
Webb attributes this in a measure to a
liberal system of advertising steadily
pursued by them from the beginning Of
their business career. Other Causes alse
have brought them to this elevation and
prosperity, their devotion and adaPtabil-
ity to business, and great reliability.

Gone 70 Work.

The Albany {Ga Patriot, of the 17th
inst, says: MANY of our planters have
gone to work, and are turning mp the
soil with vim, thas looks like old times.
Those who were fortunate enOugh h to
procure full corps of hands are making
preparations for large crop. However,
there are many planters without more
than half help enough to man their plan
tationS, while there are some with scarce
ly any handSatalL The negroes general
" have all gone to work in this locality.
There are none to hire, and help must
come from some, other source If all the
land &c Southwestern Georgia is placed
under cultivation"
We are pleased (says the Savannah
Negs) to state that we have similar in
telligence from all the counties in South
ern ard Southwestern Georgia. We
harm, also, that the views expressed by
this paper in regard 10 the digcrsiication
ofthe crops are generally approved By
the planters, who concur with us in the
opinion that il, in the past year, the
plan had been adopted and followed of
planting full provision crop, the South
would hare been better off than now.
They have intellisently considered the
question. Who can raise Getton, to the
exclusion of bread$tuffS, and sell it for
thirty or thirty-five cents per pound,
when he works freedmen, and pays
twenty-five cents per pound for bacon,
and one dollar and q half per bushel for
corn, when -four is sixteen and nineteen
dollars per barrel, and an ordinary mich
COW is regarded cheapsat thirty dollars,
and when every necessary article is at
equally high rates? Out of the earth
must come our relief from the terribly
depressed condition Of the present, and

have suggested, .-....~-.t--..@

The Cost of q Nswspapar.

The receipts of the New York Tribune
for 1866, were S909,44s; and the expenses
1882, ,9OS. AS the item of rent is not in
cludcd, it will be seen that the profits of
this large establishment, with its host of
busy hands and brains, is not so great for
the immense outlay of capital.
Cutie number of papers of late have
been forced to suspend, owing to the i'm
mense cost Of paper and other printing ma
terial. In our own State several have been
discontinued, that were doing fine buSi-
Less, but withal expenses exceeded income.
And we cite from our exchanges great
many changes. Parties thinking the busi'
ness very remunerative-everyth looking
so fine on paper-are ambitious to ''run
the machine, but soon grow alarmed at
the amount of labor, care and>expense, and
are only too glad 10 dispose Or their in

STATE MoNEY.--Ten days ago the dis
count on State money in Charleston was
ten per cent. Now it is five. There
ought to be none. There is more reason
for discount in large city than any
where else, but in this case there is none
anywhere.
For legislators and their bone-and,
sinew constituents who have taxes to
pay, to shirk and dodge the very money
they themselves have created, looks o
good deal like triAing with grave respon-
sibilitieS, tamrering with. honor, and
ieopardizing State credit and character.
We wonder if it is honest?
