AN IMPORTANT ENrERPREE.-The mag.
ni6cent. success of the Augusta aud Gran
iteville factories has .impelled number
of gentlemen in South CAROLINA and
Georgia to combine somewhat oftheir
surplus funds for the purpose of estab-
4isning a'nsw cotton mill. 1t is proposed
to raise, BY subscription, capital stock
Of 100000, and locate the factory at
Vaucluse, South Carolina. Of the sum
proposed, the, amount Of $250,000 has
already been conditionaliy subscribed at
the North, and there remains but an
equal amount to. be raised Southwark,
in ofdcr to make the enterprise success.
We are glad TO know that very hand
some proportion Of this has already been
pledged, and now tha, the subscription
books are opened at the Office of Messrs.
John j. Cohen & Son, we anticipate con-
s,ant accessions, so that the mat er will
te ! promptly launch ID. Though, the
cal,ital1stoek is 10 be $5o0.0Oe, sixty
per cent, only will be. called for when all
is subscribed, aud toe remaining forty
per cent. in four. instalments within
twc1Fe months Out Of this capital it is
proposcdc.to cxpend 100000 in the
erec,itn Of u mill. Of $4,000 Spindles.
The Aug ,sta: min has. we belie:c, 1S,.
900 spiGt'es, and the Graaitcville mill
1890. We refer to his to show that,
tho%ch, not. So capacivus as either Of
these Splendid factories, the projected
mill at Vauc.use will, nevertheless, be
one OF considerable magnitude. -, .. ....,

/: Our FEMALE, AcADEMY.-This commu.
nifty may we'll be proud of her Academy,
| and particularly whca it is remembered
that butts few months ago it was almost
a shapeless wreck, the habitation Of bats
and the target for boys to throw at,
deserted and in disuse as a school, and a
monument Of shame: A happy change
has come over, it. Repaired thoroughly,
and in some parts almost rebuilt, and in
active operation, it reflects credit on the
gentlemen Who proposed to restore,
fahd THE 1citizens] Who contributed to
bring about so gratifying rcsult-a res
tora,ion from ruin and silence. A. little
over two months ago, the plasterins Still
fresh and damp, and the repairs still im
p art unfinished, it was opened, and to
day we have the gratifying result Of a
first class Female Academy in full opera
tion and. prosperous condition. with the
largest mum Der Of pupils; ever accorded
a school in this town. The principal,
Rev. J. B. Hillhouse; in our judgment,
and the present result certainly proves
it, is eminently fitted: for his position,
while his accomplished associates, Miss
Fannie level, and Miss Annie Hillhouse,
two amiabls, intelligent and charming
young ladies, are just what we would
have them, most valuable accessories.
In the department of music, the services
Of Professor F. Werber are had, and
when it said that there is no one more
competent, we only say that which
every one acquainted with him already
knows. Take it all in all, our Academy
occupies proud position, and all the
advantages for gaininga a thorough, edu-
cation are offered by it, We commend it
to parents ip the district and elsew here.
