STATE BILLS RECEIvABLE-IMPoRT
DEoIs1oN.-D. H. Chamberlain, At;or-
ney General, has recently decided that
the bills receivable of the State are not
a good tender in payment OF County
taxes-as on their face they are simply
made receivable for call dues to the
State.'

is prepared to execute every style of
printing, from visiting and business cards
to pamphlets and books. With ample
material and first-class workmen, salts
faction is guaranteed to ALL If our work
does not come up to contract, e.make
no charge. With tllis understanding our
business men have no excuse for sending
work North. -. t
The New Orleans Times makes the fol-
lowing very significant remarks in rela-
tion to the very able document on South
ern manufacturing by Col. J. b. Palmer,
presented to the Memphis and New
Orleans Commercial Conventions, by our
delegate DIR. i. II. Heinitsh. We hope
the suggestions will be acted upon, and
that we shall sec looming up in orr midst
Il thousand spindles, spinning to tho
tune give us this way our daily bread.
Ih" true interest of the South is to
Manufacture her raw material into an
','cment Of increased value, to the COM
'uercial world, thereby securing its own
iitb"r nnd dispensing its blessing at
home:
According to the able report of Col
John B. Palmer, of Sonth Carolina,
which was ordered to be printed with
the proceedings of the last Commercia,
Convention, recently held in this city,
the Southern manufacturers can now
make yarn cheaper than those North by
Sc. upon each pound of manufactured
cotton. Yarns can be manufactured and
delivered i'll Europe Mt 433lc. cheaper than
the cotton can be- exported and manu-
factured in Liverpool or elsewhere.
These statements are supported by
figures and minute statistics as to the
price of wood, labor, cotton, and by
actual showing Of books in different
factories An ordinary crop of cotton
is worth to the South S225, ,OOO, 900.
Were this cotton crop, however, manu-
factnred into yarns, it would give the
South $150,000,000 more of revenue.
As the matter now stands, the South hos
only 1897 spiudles, where the North
has 5,849. ATT. Were the whole crop
manufactured here it would pay to the
lab rers, chiefly women and children,
S3G, O0O,O 1t would pay this sum to
the class that are ordinarily non pro-
ducers
'The foregoing statistics are indorsed
by F. Cogin, Superintendent of the
Augusta factory. and that they deserve
consideration there can be no doubt.
The conclusion they lead to is that yarn
samples should be sent Immediately to
Europe to ascertain, by positive expert
mcnt, and i'll authoritative form, what
the precise margin of difference in prices
is. If, after consultation with the manu-
facturers dealers cnd others, residing in
Europe, these statistics are verified, as
they doubtless will be, an impetus will
nc given to manufactures which they
could derive from no other sourca.",
