dates Of their own, pledged to such legisla-
ton as shall amount TO prohibition, or the
holding Of the seller responsible for oil
damages resulting from his sales. The ad-

WE MUST COME TO IT.

The publishers of Alabama had an en-
rthusias,ic meeting at Birmingham few days
since, when schedule Of minimum rates was
adopted, as also a resolution pledging each
member to the other to faithful compliance
Herewith. All advertisements inserted for
less time than three months were declared to
be transient and chargeable at transient rates
in the absence of special contract The
minimum charges per inch for advertisements
inserted in weekly papers for three months
were fixed as follows:
One inch IS; two inches IS; three inches
;Sl2; four inches SIS; aud SO on 1t was
further agreed that for six months insertion
the charge should not be less than fifty Tor
cent. additional to the charge for three months
and for twelve months not less than fifty per
cent. additional to the charge for six months
40 that if the charge for three months be ten
dollars the charge for ak shall not be less
than SIS, nor the charge for twelve less than
$3.50. The idea of the resolution or agree
ment was to form sort of CO. operative sys-
tenn, for mutual protection against advertis-
ing agencies which beat down prices and boast
of their ability to advertise in scores of South
ern newspapers at prices that leave all the
profits IN their own pockets. Another object
OF the measure was to put spot to the un~
professional cut>throat system of underbid-
ding among the craft, and yet another was to
cut off "patent outside" advertisements. In
order that no newspaper might have cause to
complain, the minimum rates were fixed at
mon.pnying standard, by which we mean a
standard that will leave the publisher little
or no profit on any contract based upon it
If the system works, as it is hoped that it will
work, the schedule will be rearranged next
year on a better and more reasonable basis.

GAR FACTORIES,

The Committee who visited Baltimore last
week for the purpose of inducing capitalists
to avail themselves of the offer of Charles,
town, as embodied in the resolution of the
council, to donate $40, 900 to any company or
capitalist who would give satisfactory security
to erect manufactures on such scale as to
employ one hundred operatives, returned on
the 10th, and reported very kind reception
by the authorities of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, to whom they first directed their at.
tention. They had personal interviews with
John W. Garrett, Robert Garrett, and Mcssrs
King, Vice-Prcsident, and Wilson, Master of
ethe road. All of these gentlemen concurred
sin recommending a succinct statement in
writing of their views by the Committee, and
promised a careful consideration of them, and
an early reply. This advice was followed,
and the Committee left with the Company a
clear exposition of what our town desired, and
could promise in return. They pointed out
the cheapness of oak and pine lumber in our
locality, the accessibility of iron, and other
material, and our central position on the line
.of!the Valley road.
The impression made seemed very favor
able, and the Committee were assured that
their proposition came at time when the
Company were themselves about to enter upon
consideration of the question of locating works
of some description along the line between
Baltimore and Staunton. And although
nothing can be known definitely until the
answer of the Company is received, yet the
probabilities are that tho offer of Charlestown
will Inject with some response favorable to her
future Advancement, and prosperity.
