The Rise in Cotton.

- For the past few days there has been
considerable excitement among the specula-
tors of the New York Cotton Exchange, in
consequence of an advance, both on cotton de-
liverable at the time of sale, and future de-
liveries. Several firms had to make SETTLE
ment, or acknowledge their inability to meet
their contracts. The advance, however, is not
considered as indicating healthy condition
of the market. It is merely the result of a
combination on the part Of ring Of specula-
lators who have succeeded in beating down
another combination whose means and credit
had become exhausted. Had the advance
been the result of legitimate trade-the laws
governing supply and demand-the result
would be beneficial to the Southern planters,
as they could then sell their surplus OF the
last crop at better prices but as the advance
is the result of a combination of spectators,
we can see no good as likely to result from it.

of these counties to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars each, in payment Of the sub

regards the bonds good investment, has al
ready expressed his willingness to take twenty
five thousand dollars of the bonds at eighty
cents on the dollar. We learn that the cou-
pons of the bonds will be receivable for taxes.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SHORTHAND.

PHONOGRAPH1C SHORTHAND.
Mr.. Editor Permit me, through your col.
umns, to call the attention of the public to the
study and practice of photographic short
hand. The most improved system of pho
nographic penmanship now in use, is that of
James E. Munson, "O6icial Stenographer to
the Surrogate Court of New York"
Being freed from all the perplexities and
intricacies with which the systems of Graham
and Ptman are eencumbered, it is now brought,
by modification and improvement, into the
reach. and adapted to the capacity, of almost
any school boy or girl. Simple, plain and
easy in its structure, beginning with the pri-
mary elements, it gradually advances, until it
combines whole phrases with one single stroke
of the pen, thereby giving brevity to the work.
Parents, guardians and students commit a
gross error, when they conclude that this art
is only attainable by those who have mastered
all the other sciences-that photography
comes in last of all, as the crowning point of
highly. y.6nished education. We deny the
conclusion, and assert that whilea knowledge
of the higher branches may not be essential,
they are in nowise detrimental.
Every parent who intends to educate his
son to some profession, and neglects this "short-
hand" in the course of his study and practice,
defrauds that son out of at least four-6fths Of
his time. began the study of photography
in January, 1869, under the tutorship and d.
rection of Prof j. Wood Davidson, since
which time have been using the art in all
my writing.
I would recommend to teachers and boards
of education, the propriety of introducing
this much.desired and useful art into our
common schools, teaching the young and
rising generation its superiority over the com.
mon system, and showing them how they may
evade tho great toll and labor imposed on
them by the present system.
1 do not wish to repudiate the system of
"long-hand' altogether, but merely suggest
to those who expect to devote good portion
of their time to welding the pen, the great
advantages they will realize by the phono-
graphic system of penmanship. They will
find that one.6fth of the time they now de-
vote to the pen will fully suffice for their work.
Munson's Complete Phonographer will, in
short time, convince the reader of this article
that what l Isay is true. The more you study
and practice, the more interesting and bene6-
cial will be the result. Toyoung men, minis
ters, lawyers, editors, &c., I would say, try the

THE RAILROAD SURVEY.

On Thursday afternoon last, Col. Fleming
Gardner the Chief Engineer of the Chester
and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad Compa-
ny arrived in town, and Immediately COM
menced making arrangements for beginning
the survey of the projected line. On satur-
day morning the entire corps was fully organ
lied, and the work commenced at the depot
of the Kings Mountain railroad. The line
was extended Immediately through the main
street to the upper end of town and thence
continued in north direction nearly parallel
with the "King's Mountain road" and in rear
of the Military School building.
On Tuesday evening the corps had reached
the vicinity of Centre Church, about seven
miles above Yorkvile. Last evening it was
believed that the State line would be reached.
By the 10th of July, should the weather con-
tinue favorable, it is expected that the running
of the experimental line will be completed
to Lenoir. After reaching Leuoir another
line will be run from that point to Yorkville,
after which third survey will be made for
the purpose oflocating the route permanently.
DR.. Davega, the energetic President of the
road, accompanies the engineers and throws
into the work large share of the energy with
which he i, endowed. He is emphatically
"the right man in the right place." and en-
thusiastic in the enterprise. He utterly scouts
the idea of failure, and is confident the entire
length of the road will be completed and in
working order at the earliest practicable day.
MEETING OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
BY request of the county school commits
sioner, the trustees of the several school dis
tricts in this county, met in the Court House
on Monday last, to consult in reference to the
educational interests of the county. James
F. Hart, Esq, was called to the Chair, and
w. J. Stephenson acted as Secretary.
The following trustees were present: BuI'
locks Creek-Wm. G. Bailey and J. G. Civ
ens Bethesda-H. E. McFadden, j. w.
Garvin and Allen Bratton. Broad River
j. B. Whitesides. Kings Mountain-Major
J. B. Lowry and John o. Crawford. York.
ville-W. j. Stephenson and John R. Wal
lace. Bethel-S. L. Adams. Catasoba-Cap-
tain J. F. Workman.
The inconvenience of the present commence
ment and ending Of the school year, as fixed
for York county, was discussed, and it was
finally agreed to recommend to the county
board of examiners, to arrange for the school
year to begin in July of each year, and end
in March, so that the public schools might
be open during the months of July, August
and September, usually period when chill
dren can be spared from the farm to attend
the schools.
It was also recommended that each board Of
school trustees meet at some designated place
in their district, monthly, for the purpose Of
advancing the educational interests of their
districts.
Some discussion arose on the subject Of
sub-dividing the old townships, so as to make
the school districts smaller. The unanimous
voice of those present was, that no further
subdivision should be made. On motion,
the meeting then adjourned.
