MnnuNhc hcturing.

We return to tho popular fallacy,
that Agriculture pays us better, and
that wo do not noed manufactures,
therefore, at the South. Does it pay
to have n large surplus population Of
white mon and women doing nothing
comparatively, when they are emf
neatly suited to conducting manufac-
tories Of cotton yarns and coarse cot
ton cloths : Docs it pay to permit
this work, which it is certain doubles
tho valuo Of tho cotton Drop, to be
dono Mt the North, 80 that the North
makes as much by this single item of
its industry, as tho South makes BY
tho whole OF its Agricultural labor
[! it does not pay to spin our cotton,
adding $l2o, 100000 to tho worth of
it, pray tell us, if it pays to eiu it
Why not send it unginned to tho
North ; Ginning is but ono step in
manufacturing. Tho truth is, Colum-
bus Georgia, and several other places,
arc beginning to SEQ through this mis-
erablc fallacy that manufacturing
don't pay at tho South. They know
that certain kinds Of manufacturing
can DO done, urthwith, here, much
hettor. and far moro chcarly, than any
where else. Hence new Factories arc
being bni't. Would they be built, if
tier: ~"~ 10 .ur" profit in tho bust
nc,sui cotton mALutactures 7 Even
the manufacturers Of the North are
ahead of our people and 500 our inter-
cats and our future for US better than
we do ourselves. Wo are informed,
that "sevoral Of their largest North
orn establishments have abandoned
spinning cotton altogether, calculating
to buy their yarns from the South"
No F.! This fallacy about our being
OH Agricultural people is most mis-
chicvous one. We arc mn Agricnltu-
raj people, ard will ever be SO. But
wo arc destined to be both a manu-
featuring people and mining people,
because even now, in some branches of
both mining nnd manufacturing, We
have natural advantages over ali tho
world.

why Not I.et Well Enough
Alone.

Tho Columbia Guardian, of Satur.
day last, rencws its charge against the
Radical regime of hypocritioal pre-.
tcncc with reference to favoring the
education Of the blacks and real hos
tility to it. Now, in tho frat place,
We do not believe this charge, for it is
through Northern teachers, many of
whom arc in tho Legislature, Jillson,
himself, for example, that they inhu.
enco tho black vote and, in the soo-
ond place, if it were true, why should

holders not sufficiently taxed already?
Can they stand any further expondi-
ture than that already voted for this
purpose 7 Indeed, we aro disposed to
commend worry heartily the fact that
the Legislature appropriated but
$4,000 beyond tho poll.tax for flee
school purposes this year. It's appro.
priation of thirty thousand dollars as
salaries to County School Commits.
sionors, is quito another matter; and
If the Guardian would make it's at
tack there, we would grayoly consider
its suggestions. But We regret to see
the attack made on the sincerity of
the intention and the honesty of tho
motive. Ifthore is anything that you
can arouse vindictive fanaticism upon,
IL is this same education question.
The present government has given
100000 to Sohool Commissioners, but
has forborne to burden the State be
.yond the appropriation Of $4,000

Labor Famine in Ioulsana.

More labor, more help" is the
cry we hear from all quarters. Our
planters in want of hands to 20 on
successfully with tho years. cropping
but waiting don't supply the defcien-
cy. Freedmen in this section of
country are scarce AS laborers, prefer.
RUG to work their own patches of
land, either bought or leased. It is
next to impossible to recruit the la
boring force in New Orleans, or if a
few are engaged to come out to tho
country, they demand niger wages
and an advance, and even thcn, nino
times out Of ten they prove worthless
and are sent off, or run away Of their
own accord. as high as $l.50 day
is paid by somc planters, and not
enough can be had at that price.
What planters can expect to make at
such prices for labor is beyond our
knowledge. Certain it is sugar,
rsmunerative as it's production
is, cannot afford to pay such wages
and run tho chances Of cropping.
Again wc call tho attention of planters
to the fc Ids Of Virginia for supplies Of
labor. Hundreds AFRO anxious to re-
move to u better point, but lack the
means Of doing so. Thoy must be
sent for if we expect to continue the
cultivation of sugar in tho State

Fire I'm Chester.

We learn that destructive FIRE oc.
cured in Chester Thursday night, de-
stroying the dwelling and store Of Mrs.
Hunter, of that town. The loss is es-
t'mated at $4,000 The fire engine,
"Stonewall'' was brought into requisi-
tion, but having no oisterns, it was OF
of much use. The colored, people it is
said did not seem to take an int crest in
saving anything, but quietly folded
their hands and looked on the dovour-
ing flames, until they had entirely
consumed the building and contents.
The coloreI people, it seems to us,
ought to show a better disposition to.
wares their white friends, especially
when in distress. The fire was acci-
dental.

Fearful Leap of an Insane Woman,

AT Troy, N. Y, few nights ago,
young woman was sent to IL private
hospital, where, rs the Troy Times
relates, tho following remarkable in
oident occurred:
"ln u day or two species Of mild
insanity developed itself, butby care
ful treatment and nursing this was
materially modified. On Sunday
night last the attack was renewed.
In tho middle of tho night she arose
suddenly and made rush for one of
windows in the ward, which was in
the third story Of the building, aud
attempted to jump out of it to tho
ground below, n distance of thirty-s <
feet. The attendant observed her
just as she was making the fatal leap,
and succeeded in cotohing her by tho
clothes and holding on her until as.
sistance arrived from the male de-
partment. Ono Of the male atten.
dants caught her by the hands and at.
tempted to draw her back into the
window; but his strength was unequal
to the task, and the woman continued
to sink lower and lower as tho tension
upon his arms grew greater aud great
or each moment. No one could rem.
dor him tho least assistance. When
his strength was wholly exhausted he
was compelled to let go of the girl,
and heavy thud from the earth be.
low echoed painfully through all
hearts, as it was supposed she could
not mako the fall without being kill
ed. The attendants rushed down to
tho girl, expecting to fnd her lifeless
below; but fortunately in this they
were mistaken, and with little as.
s!stance tho poor woman was able to
walk back to her apartments. She
was scarcely injured. When asked
the next day why she attempted to
jump out of the window, she said she
thought she heard her mother calling
her. She is now improving rapidly.

ThOmas Jefferson tho Inven.

Tho triumphs Of intellect and vir-

does not feel human sympathy for such
man as Benjumin Franklin, in every
respect thorough yankee, because Of
his intellectual greatness, his praoti-
cal discoveries, and genuine love of
country If any, then We have no
admiration or sympathy for such.
Who does not admire "the god.like

pride should every American, North

being take in such n man as
Thomas Jefferson. Through tho
Declaration Of Independence, ho will
influence, for agcs, tho intellect of
every educated being That shall speak
the English language, in tho sphere of
social and political thought. But it
is not generally known, or at least not
sufficiently noted, that Jefferson was
the inventor of the modern plough,
and by that achievement of his intel
loot, has added millions upon millions
to tho wealth Of tho world. He was

We copy tho following from the
Daily Herald, published in Columbia,
Tennessee, for the benefit of those Of
our citizens, who are not aware of
where rest the remains of. our former
citizen, Major General Richard Winn,
of the Revolutionary Army. He was
native of our State, as will be seen
by the annexed paragraphs
"Therc reposes ip secluded spot
in the vicinity of Williamsport, in
Maury county, tho remains of Major
General Richard VIM, of the Revo-
lutlonary Army-a native of South
For nearly thirty years, in oontinu-
Gus succession, he represented the peo-
pie of his District in the Congress Of
the United Statos, and was a member
during the memorable session Of 1912,
and voted for the declaration of war
against Great Britain.
A few years thereafter, he removed
with his family to Maury County, and
died about the year 1877 or 1918.
Since that time, most of tho persons
living in that neighborhood have died
or removed, leaving but fow who arc
familiar with the character of the
venerated dead.

and nobler qualities than did General
VIM.
