There ere twososhes establishments In
the manufacturing lihe that we desire to
notice. One is the book bindery and
blank book manuiactory Of Mr.. Edward

siderably aud is deserving Of his success.
Work is done at his establishment we'll,

Hard by 8 ythe ssssblishsaSnt of DR..
q. 81. Heinitsh, where rising business
is done by DR.. H., in the manufacture OF
PROPRIETARY MEDICINES. And here we
desire to say that. although prejudice
exists against this business, yet il is le-
climate one in it's integrity. and no re-
Essoaoh oan attach TO him who pursues it
in the proper spirit. What does tho
manufacturer OF proprietary medicines
do? Simply this: He takes certain me-
dioinsl roots. or herbs, ur elements, and,
% aking q certain combination, he forms
q compound, for which he claims certain
virtues. II the compound IL a good
thing, and does relieve human suffering,
any OF the ills to which flesh is heir,
then the inventor. or the compounder,
deserves credit, and may become q bene.
factor Of his race. At the North, men
have made their fortunes by medicines
some of which are genuinely good. and
have taken their place in the affections
OF the masses. We say. therefore. let
DR.. n. make his Queens Delight, his
blood and liver pills. his horse powders,
&c. If they are good, take them. II
they are bad. they will not go down. A
free-trader ourselves. we favor free trade
in all pursuits that are not immoral and
hurtful.
There Is now one class Of manufacture.
ers for whom We have no good word
We mean the GLASS who make ne1n uhis-
key, and those who make lies. Confu
sion to them aud all their sohemes!
They are foes OF the human race, with.
out regard to race or color or previous
condition of servitude.
Having now spoken Of those interests
more especially material in character. We
come noMto SUBJECTS somewhat les, 60.
We fret refer to the representatives that
Oolumbis has in the line of auctioneers
and commission merchants. Messrs.
Peixotto Son and JACOB Levin will be
found reliable and efficient.
In the department of insurance and
brokerage, this oity is unusually we'll
supplied. We refer with pleasure to Dr..
J.W. Parker. formerly Superintendent
OF the Lunatio Asylum here, and we'll
known in the State az an old and re-
spected son OF the State. The Doctor,
although full of years, is illnstraiing
much of the energy aud promrtness of
loss advanced manhood. AS real estate
agent, he has great deal Of valuable pro-
psrty for sule; and ia the agent for re-
liable lifo and fire insurance companies.
Capt Leaphart, one.armed ex-Confe-
derate. and man who. if be gave one
arm to bis State in war, has another left
to work for her in peace, is the popular
agent Of the Piedmont and Arlington,
and is also an agent of reliable fire
insurance companies. He will do ito tie
to-" as the saying is. Messrs. Black &
Waring. as fire and life insurance agents,
do large business, and merit their
popularity. They are successors of the
old house OF Nichols & Co.; and our
friend, old Mr.. McCammon, is on hand
always-a faithful soldier at his insurance
post. Mr.. Geo. Higgins needs no word of
commendation from us, az his long and
satisfactory career in his business of Are
insurance speaks for him. Messrs. Sci
bells & Ezell are recent, bat very active
and enterprising agents, in the matter OF
real estate and life and fire insurance.
Their business is large and increasing,
end, as both members of the firm are
working men, we think it likely that
they have no such word as "fail," in
their vocabulary. Next, We refer to our
friend, Captain Tupper, who, as broker
and insurance agent, is illustrating much
OF the same pluck and energy that
marked his career as most gallant
Carolina soldier. Help him, all who
want to help themselves. Nor must We
here omit to bring forward with promi-
nence the names OF General NJ. O. But
ler and General NJ. W. Gary. Thoae
gallant ex-Confederate Generals repre-
sent f1ourishing New York insurance
company, and have been busy OF late in
carrying ont their bold conception of the
land and immigration scheme.
Nor must We fail to speak O word in
