can be secured only by diversity in
tho productions Of our farms, and :
diversity of industry In our tow: IS
and on our streams. Tho people of
South Carolina can become neither
rich nor really intelligent and enter
prising without the establishment Of
manufactures in every part of the
State. In every county we must put
the factory beside the farm.
| We have urged our people to take
hold of this matter themselves. If
they invest this year portion of
their cotton crop in constructing cotton
mills, they will begin the movement
which will make them rich. And it
is not wealth in the distant future,
but close at hand. Wo once read of a
New England farmer who would not
plant apple trees, because lie said he
should not eat fruit from them. But
his grandson planted IN orchard, and
tho mistaken grandfather drank barrels
of cider made from the apples. So Of
this matter; if planters take hold,
they will fnd holp in tho State and
out of it. If tho cotton producers
lend hand tho good work will 60 on,
and they themselves get the benefits
Of it; get, indeed, three p.oli,s-in
manufacture, in better sales of raw
cotton, and in increased prices for
other farm products a.'t I
These Inducements arc great. But
to these arc superadded, as it were, a
a bounty both by the State and by
the nation. The State has generously
authorized rebate of all State taxes
on capital hereafter invested in manu-.
features of cotton or wool. This is
done in the just hope of stimulating
in every part of the State the imme.
diate construction of factories. If
there be anything like general
movement in this direction, our whole
people will rejoice in this wise legis-
lation.
The national Government, too,
seeks to stimulate all kinds Of manu-
featuring by protective tariff This
tariff will be continued for some years
yet, We may be quite sure, and under
it we may justly hope to sac factories
rapidly spring up in the now rccupe-
rating South.
There are those among us who
6ercely denomce "protcction.' But
whether it be right or wrong, it is a
fact; and those who are disposed to
invest money in manufacturing in
South Carolina will fud the actual
s'protcction" of the Government to be
q great aids. c. Republican.
Tho dcstitution and dcsolation.
Of great London have some curious
illustrations. A woman and her sons
Of five years have for some time been
living alone; but recently he for several
days was seen playing near the house
with no sign of his mother. Some Of
neishbors inquired Of the child
whether he had had plenty of food
during the week, and ho replied that
all he had had was what was left in
the cupboard, and that there waa plenty
still remaining there. Upon missing
the child's mother, one of the neigh
bors inquired how che was, and whith-
er she had gone. The little child,
with great simplicity, replied, "Mam-
ma is lying in bed, and she will not
speak to me, and she is so cold, like a
lump of ice, when I lay in bed with
her." The same person said, ssPer-
haps she is dead," when the boy re-
piled, 81 think SO too, for she Is 80
cold, and I can't get her. to speak at
all" The neighbors, upon entering
the room, found the unfortunate
creature lying stiff and cold in bed,
where she had been dead for two or
taree days, and the poor child had
been laying at her side in bed during
that time.
PASSING Yesterday after
