Putnam CoURr,-Thc Circuit CourI
Judge HOge prssiding-fOr Putnam
county, commenced its session on tho
10th inst. and ,djourned on the 18th,
The Grand Jurors were in session two
days and made about twenty Indictments.
Several important cases were tried on
the first and second days of the term, -
The Chancery cases were nearly all cOn-
tinued till next term.
The following young men were quail
fed aud admitted TO practice in this
Court: H. J, Fisher, Jr., Point Pleasant,

W. W. Brown, Buffalo.
QaiIe number Of lawyers were in
attendance at this Court, among whom
we noticed: VIM. H. TomIiuson, John

7, Bower, and Thomas Harvey, OF Put
nam, nearly every one of whom seemed
to have plenty of business,
Our object in attending this Court was
to make some collections. In this we
were greatly disappointed; but while We
did uol succeed in getting many of our
old bills cashed, we had the pleasure oil
adding several cash names to our list OF
subscribers in PutnOm.
Winfield, the county seat OF Putnam,
is beautifully laid out on a broad bot

the Great Kanawha river, with ter.

inhabitants. Why it does not improve
more rapidly is mystery TO us aud
TO every person who has ever seen the
place. There should be more energy
and enterprise among its ciiizens.--
There ought TO be Touring 'thiIl there

a tobacco factory, as there is more TO-,
bacco Of superior qldIity raised in
Putnam, than any county in the State.
Then why not manufacture il in your
own county town? There should be a
wooden factory there; aud the large coal
deposits in the hills adjoining the Town
should be opened and worked. And
besides there should be good news

The Orangeburg News is indignant at the
action of the State Board Of Equalization
in raising the valuation Of real property in
Orangeburg from $1,444. .O69 to $4, 1892. .207.
1t says that the lands in the county were
valued, in the assessment made by the
county board, at their full market value,
and that the increased valuation of the real
property in the county is .sdisproportionate,
''unequal and unjust" We learn from the
same source that meeting Of the taxpay-
ers was to be held on Monday last to con.
slider the action Of the State board, and the
Orangeburg News suggests that if the tax
must be paid it may be done under protest,
and the whole matter tested in the courts
Under the tax law of 1863, the State B oard
Of Equalization have full power to increase
or reduce tae valuation Of the real property
in the State. There is no limit to their au-
thority, and we do not see that any relief
can be obtained from the courts. There is.
indeed, but one way of escaping from the
enormous taxation which now oppresses
the State. AS long as the Radicals remain
in power there will be fraud, extravagance
and waste in administering our fiscal aft airs
1t is the Radical party--the party applaud

We print, this morning, letters from

the crop prospects in those counties, to-
gether with estimates of the area planted
in cotton and breadstuffs this year, as COM

other counties will be printed as we receive
them, and within q week from this time our
readers will have had before them the views
Of our most experienced farmers and plant
ers, in every part of the State, in regard to
the condition Of the crops, the probable
yield, and the manner in which the freed

These letters will show, in q nutshell,
our agricultural position, and will, we be
lieye, form the most interesting and COM

The anxiety of the South to engage in
manufactures is shown by. the interest
which is everywhere taken in all kinds Of
industrial undertakings. Cotton, msnufao-
lures attract most attention; but those Of
iron, linen and wool have received their
share of notice. In. this State We have also
companies formed for tho manufacture Of
fertilizers, and hope before long to have
more than one sugar refinery.
Our efforts in the direction of manufac-
lures proceed from proper desire for oom-
mercial independence and wish for local
growth and advancement. One great draw
back is the want of capital. This will
gradually be overcome as We create: ca pital
Of our own, and by our success attract
money from abroad. A greater difficulty is
the want of suitable labor; for although
out Of the thousands Of Chinamen who are
swarming to CALIFORNIA; we may obtain, if
we so desire. laborsrs for our cotton and
rice fields, we cannot expect to derive from
this source experienced operatives for the
mills which are being erected in every part
of the South. In England, no wevsr, in
consequence Of tho current troubles, there
are thousands OF factory operatives who
are without work, and there is NO good rea-
son why we should not obtain enough Of
these skilled .workmen to supply ali our,
wants. 3 raa:g ~. a3sr.. e.,l,-@
The London Times says that emigration
has been the great panacsa dreamed Of by,
the Lancashire operatives for the evils of.
short time and low wages ever since the
cotton famine began. Nov wvfwys wss see se th at the
effort Of the Preston mill owners and man
ufacturers to reduce wages has revived il,
until 1t has spread through all Of east and
north lancashire. About one hundred
spinners and winders' families had left one
Of thop towns for this soouutry since the
struggle began. The last mail tells US Of
eight families more folio wing them, and an
agent OF American manufacturers in that
country seeking workmen was sent for BY
che operatives to enlighten them end make
arrangements for greater exodus. At

being collected TO forward ono thousani
