2. The means to accomplish this work thor
oughly and promptly.
The Act of 1856, which authorized the own
ers Of two-thirds of swamp lands to form them
selves into corporate company to drain such
lands, can, think, be so amended as to meet
our difficulty, and if the Legislature will grant
us the power to levy tax to carry out this
purpose, it could be accomplished.
What would suggest would be Board of
Health, to consist of the County Con- mission
ers, who should have associated with them q
committee of citizens, selected in each Town
ship the County Commissioners and the
Township Committee to form Board for each
Township, so that the division Of expense
should be proportionate to the wants of the
Township. To these would add two compe-
tent Civil Engineers, who should report the
condition of each Township, and under whose
supervision the drainage should be done,
Upon their preliminary report, Convention
of the people should be called-not merely a
public meeting-and the rate of taxation
fixed.
This is but rough sketch Of a plan. What
I would suggest now is public meeting at
Anderson, at which each Township should be
represented, who should appoint committee
to submit a plan, and (if approved by the
Convention) be authorized to urge its passage
into law by the Legislature.
This matter is of more urgent Importance
than all the railroad projects in the world, and
I for one would more willingly bear my share
of the most onerous taxation for such pur-
puse than for any railroad scheme. Our whole
future depends upon prompt and thorough ac-
ton now.
The section of the County in which live
has been exempt from this calamity, but that
exemption cannot continue unless some such
action is taken; and even if it could, I have
very much mistaken the character of my
neighbors if they would not cheerfully do
their part for the common good.
Respectfully, ,-ooa

Our Manufacturing Interests. V

The project of establishing Cotton Factory
at High Shoals has met with encouraging pros
poets, and the movers in this enterprise feel
assured that the necessary capital will be Sc
cured at no distant day. More than one-half
has been subscribed already, and several Of the
largest stockholders are pledged to double their
subscriptions, rather than abandon the project.
1t is this sort of pluck and energy that succeeds
But the establishment of single mandatory
is not enough. The large amount of unem"
ployed capital in Anderson County encourages
us to hope that further efforts will BE- made. to
develop our manufacturing interests.
The use of steam as motive power in pro-
pelling the machinery Of cotton mills has been
extensively discussed in these columns, and the
experience of practical men demonstrates the
feasibility of the scheme proposed for the es-
tabl;shment of steam cotton mill at this place,
with reasonable prospect of handsome divi-
dends from the investment We are satisfied
that the profits of manufacturing by steam, at a
point where the facilities of transportation are
abundant and fuel can be obtained at reasona-
BILE cost, cannot be much less than the profits
arising from other manufactures Much de-
pends, in any event. upon the management,
and we think steam cotton mill at Anderson,
with sufficient capital, might be made ex-
ceedingly profitable to the stockholders.
We have no water power at or near this
place. and other towns more favorably located
are already gaining advantages, in the way of
attracting population, and extending their rep
utations abroad for sagacity and enterprise.
Unless we propose to be surpassed, we must be
active and 'vigilant, closely scrutinizing every
movement that looks to our advancement as
people, and entering heartily into such meas
ures as will rebound to our advantage. We
cannot expect the people of Anderson County
to build up the town, unless we prove true and
faithful to the interests of the town, and de-
monstrate willingness to 60 forward in the
march of improvement AS commercial cen
tire, rejecting its benefits to the remotest cor
ners, the town of Anderson is duly appreciated,
which is manifested by the large business of our
merchants, extending from year to year.
The business men Of Anderson should e1-
amiae carefully the scheme proposed, and if it
promises beneficial results, let them induce the
farmers to unite their surplus capital in this
enterprise. BY aggregating the means within
easy access, we can establish cotton mill at
this point beyond doubt; and besides the real
ization of large profits upon the investment,
the incidental advantages to our town are
worthy of serious consideration. Success in
every movement for our prosperity depends
upon united action, and vigorous, unremitting
work. We cannot obtain the prize without an
effort. Are the citizens of Anderson ready to
give their attention and means to the estab-
ment of steam cotton factory?
