Increased Mortality.

The weekly report ending on Saturday last
shows that the number of deaths from yellow
fever in Charleston was considerably increased
over the previous week. Twenty-six deaths
are reported up to Saturday noon; five deaths
on Sunday and five deaths on Monday last
The sudden change in the weather from sultry
heat to an unusual damp, cool atmosphere is
undoubtedly the cause of this increased NOR
tality. We have no information in regard to
the number of new cases, but fear that our
hopes of an abatement of the disease are not
vet realized

The Profits of Manufacturing.

We have frequently brought to the attention
of our readers the importance and expediency
of the Southern people engaging in the busi-
ness of manufacturing cotton, and thereby
adding to the wealth and prosperity of the
country by increasing the profits upon this
leading staple of our industry. We have ad-
duced figures, time and again, to show the inn
mense gain by converting the raw article into
manufactured goods, and realizing at home the
handsome profits now flowing into the pockets
of the manufacturing companies Of Old and
New England. But the argument in favor of
this policy cannot be more forcibly illustrated
than by the facts that England last year paid
the United States for cotton the sum of 1884,
600, 900, and by making this cotton up into
fabrics there was realized S1sS,0oo,0O0 net
profit Here was more than one hundred per
cent of this vast sum added directly to the
wealth of England. This statement of the i'm
mense profit growing out of the manufacture OF
the great staple ought to stimulate every COM
munity in the South favorsbly located to turn
its attention to manufactures, as means OF
almost doubling the value of the cotton crop.
But this is not all. There are few people
who are fully aware of the great benefit which
cotton factory is to the town or city near
where it happens to be located. The Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel furnishes detailed
statement of the expenditures of the Augusta
Factory during the past six years, including
laborers' wages, dividends, &c. This company
is operating upon working capital of $780,
600, and since the war it has disbursed nearly
So, 900 900, or an average of S5OO,OOO per an
mum. Of this amount, more than S2,5OO,00
have found their way directly into the pockets
of the citizens. of Augusta, who furnish the
Operatives with all they purchase and Likewise
receive the dividends, for nearly all the stock
is owned in the city. Our cotemporary says: {:
s'The factory has paid out annually more money
than it requires to support the entire municipal
government and pay off the interest on the
city bonds. Putting our population at $4,000
the census fgures-the factory has declared
since the war a cash dividend of $4,000 to each
inhabitant."
These facts are obtained from the most re-
liable sources, and we repeat that every COM
munity in the South, possessing the requisite
facilities for manufacturing, ought to enter this
field of industry. Aside from the profits ac-
cruing, manufactures furnish employment to
class now wholly burden upon the country,
and changes non-producers into the most active
and profitable class of laborers-adding to
their own comfort and happiness, and largely
enhancing the general prosperity of the coun-

Give the Names.

Col. 1. w. Avery, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution, has recently visited the upper por-
ton of South Carolina, and has written letter
to his paper from the city of Greenville. From
this letter we make the following extract, by
which it will be seen that the impression is
abroad that the proposed suit against the Air
Line Railroad is in the interest of a few indi-
viduals about Anderson, and that they want to
make pecuniary speculation of tie matter to
enrich themselves. We know this to be false,
and we would respectfully ask Col. Avery to
give his authority for making such statement
in his widely circulated journal, and also to
furnish us with the names of any individuals
who have "agreed and offered to take bond" !"
We would like to know the foundation for such
story. No man or set of men can prevent the
law suit, as it has been determined upon BY a
large and respectable meeting of citizens, and
only by similar authority can it be stopped.
Whether wise or unwise, the result will deter
mine, but the sentiments and actions of the An
derson people will be governed by their sense
of propriety and right. They are not carried
about in the breeches pocket of any one, and
we think some folks will be convinced of this
fact ere this controversy is ended Here is the
extract from Col. Avery's letter:
You have seen that the Anderson route has
been ignored, and it has been determined to run
the road by more direct line, probably liking
near Tugaloo. The Anderson route was found
to be seventeen miles longer and, a million dol
lars more costly on account of the rivers to be
crossed. The Anderson people threaten an in
junction, claiming that the charter gives them
ayested right othe location of the road through
their section- 1t is believed, however, that o
few Anderson individuals are making private
speculation of this sort of agitation, and have
agreed and offered to take bond and drop the
matter. Should they however, persist and sue
ceed in getting an injunction, it will occasion
delay in the in this part of the route

certain portion of the melons being larger than
