A Visit to the Telegraph Office.

Mr.. Moore, a young gentleman, very
kindly this morning gaveu< an opportu-
nifty of examining this wonderful in
vention. It has been so perfected in
everything needful for the transmits
sion of knowledge as to make it an in
dispensable medium of communication
between distant points. A message
and answer all within the short space
of a few minutes, gives us some con-
ception Of its general utility. Some
thing similar existed years ago. By
signals from hilltops and even by
means of colored lights the intelligence
was conveyed in ancient times. Tele-
graphy is remarkable and signal de-
velopment.-C Carolina Neao Era.
Very! The Neso Era has thrown
a food of light upon the world in ma
king mention of this wonderful inven-
ton, and the young gentleman who
kindly exhibited 1t has done 4 signal
service. Some few systems of Tele-
graphy are in vogue elsewhere, and
We have small single line of commu-
uication on the G.. & c. r. R., but
this development in SpartaDburg must
be ahead Of the old plans, and if so,
science has taken new leap. When
it is remembered that something SINH
lar existed years ago, in the way of
signals from hilltops, and by means of
colored lights, and the contrast made
between those modes and the present
development, the Era has just cause
for rejoicing. Just think of it, q

AT political discussion in War
rcntor, Va, lately, between General
Kemper and Robert ". Hughes, and
other aspirants for gubernatorial hon
ors, quite spirited little episode oc-
Cured. While one L. q. Chandler, of
Norfolk, but originally from Maine,
was urging the claims Of the Radical
candidates, he denounced as a rascal
that gallant officer and Christian gen.
tlenan, Gen. D. II. Hill, now of Char
lotte; n G. No sooner was the vile
calumny uttered than gentleman in
the audience arose and pronounced the
speaker "a Id liar at the same
time avowing his responsibility then
and there for what he said"
The valiant denunciator, it is fur
ther stated, swallowed the lie like a
we'll trained scallawag.

The Cotton Crop.

49, The New York Financial Chronl-
Gle estimates the crop of 1928 at
3,930,50S, against 100000 Of the
year before, while the growing crop it
is estimated will be nearly equalto the
last. The estimate as to the present
crop is but an approximate surmlse.
The fluctuations in the crop as shown
year by year are sufficient to set at
,naught any nice calculation as to what
the crop will be.

- The exercises of the 2lst session of
Roanoke College opened on the Srd of
September, says the Roanoke Times,
under the most encouraging auspices.
The number present is the largest ev-
er known on the first day of the ses-
sion. Already young gentleman are
in attendance from about fifteen States
anG Territories, with the prospect Of a
much larger representation. Every
trains brings new arrivals and confirms
the opinion that this will be the
most prosperous session in the history
ofthe college
We rejoice to record this gratifying
evidence of the widening influence of
this institution, which so we'll merits
aliberal patronage. It deserves this
all the more because its expenses have
been reduced to suit the times. The
small sum Of 5000 will pay the neces-
sary expenses of 4 ten months session.
We advise all young men to examine
its advantagages, as set forth in the
annual catalogue, which may be OBJ
tanned on application to the president.

What Will the Legislature Do?

With the deepest concern the tax
payer asks himself, what is to be done
about the bond question, which by re-
cent decision, involves an additional
and heavy tax? Provision was made
By the lest Legislature for an exami-
nation into the character of the bonds
and claims against the State, so as to
determine which were valid and which
not. That has not been DONE
And now the people are called upon to
swallow the whole mass, and are at
the mercy Of ring, whose venality
and andunscrupulousness knows no bounds.
Will the Legislature interpose in this
matter, and force the test whether
these claims are just or not? 1t is
said, that for some such purpose the
Assembly is to be convened IN extra
session. Our faith in the party, how
ever, is not strong enough to hope for
much, yet we do hope that something
will be done. An honest debt, though
grievous under existing circumstances,
is not objected to, but fraudulent
one must be condemned.

HEZEKIAH JOHNSING.

The opinion seems to be growing that
the cotton crop of the South is monocoi!z
ing too much attention, TO the exclusion Of
other not less important industries. This
feeling is practically expressed in the awak-
ening interest in manufactures, and the
gradual increase in acreage of the cereal
crops.
On this subject, the Economist has some
sensible reflections. 1t estimates the an
nual cotton consumption by the mills all
over the world at $500, 900, 900 pounds, Of
which amount the United States use 500.
0OO, 900, Great Britain l,200,000,000 and
Continental Europe Soo,o00,000. The pro-
duc,ion for the coming year is set down at
$3.50, ,OO0,O00 pounds, allowing l,S10,n
600 pounds for the United States as against
l,7Oo, ,oOO,0 pounds for the present year
The general opinion seems to be that the
South is orcrplauting, and that she should
grow more cereals.
This general opinion" is rapidly grow
ing, and will excite among the planters a
vast deal of earnest discussion during the
coming year. Should this discussion end
in decision in favor Of a more varied in.
dustry, the South will have made another
stride toward financial independence.
