GREENSBORO HANDLE Works. -
We had the pleasure of meeting, a
few days since, Mrs. G. Dodson, Of
Greensboro, North Carolina, the
brother of our photographer, and
who is the agent of G. mammoth
manufactury Of axe, pick and Other
handles, and Of buggy and wagon
spokes, located at the above flourish
ing town. Mr.. D. brought specimens
with him which are far superior to the
majority of the Northcr work. With
all the resources Of the Southern tor
ests near at hand. this mandatory
has been sending its work far ano
near-has been competing success
fully with the New England manu-
factories, at all the centres of trade
and has been exporting largely tc
Europe. We are glad to chronicle
this evidence of Southern enterprise.
and profitable manufacturing industry
and trust that it is only the stepping
stone to increased effort in the same
direction. With immense water
bower at our command, and all the
raw material at our doors, it is scarce
ly possible that we can long delay in
the race of successful manufacturing
and mechanical enterprise.

of Knoxville, Tenn, who has the
matter in charge, the form Of &

The Purchase Of Samana Bay.

The Ne1p York Herald throws
cold water upon the recent pur-
chase of Samana Bay from the
Dominican Government, by an
American company, for twenty
millions Of dollars. Even if their
titles be good, there is nothing in
the commerce of the island, or in
its mineral or agricultural resources,
to justify snch an investment, OF
to hold out any hope of profits.
The Haytien Minister himselfseems
to look upon it as a poor specula-
ton. Il is fit for little else than a
naval station, and this Government
could not afford to pay high price
for that purpose only. President
Grant is said to favor the scheme.
and as a first step to annexation, it
would likely meet favor from all
who advocate that measure. The
voice Of the Senate, however, was
unequivocally pronounced against
the scheme of annexing St. Do
mingo, and we suppose that there
has been no change of public
sentiment-that the wise conclusion
is, that we have territory enough
indeed, more than we can develop
and well govern.

A Bank Needed In Abbeville.

The attention Of our capitalists,
merchants, and business men gen.
orally, has long been directed to
the propriety of having another
Bank at Abbeville-not a branch,
but a parent Bank, with a large
capital, furnishing a profitable in
vestment to those having money on
hand, aud afording increased fa-
cilities to merchants, cotton-buyers
and others having business trans.
actions. Almost every town in the
State can boast ofits Bank. Charles
ton and Columbia witness every
year the establishment of new
Banks, and only recently Banks
have been established at Newberry,
Greenville, Union and Anderson.
These are all proving profitable
investments, and their stock is sell
ing at a premium in the market.
If there is money in these enter
prises, why should not our people
realize it, and not be dependent
upon other sections for the bank
ing privileges that we enjoy. We
learn that move for the establish
ment of a Bank here is in contem-
plation, and that meeting of our
citizens will be soon called to devise
the ways and means. In the mean
time, let our capitalists and busi-
Ness men ponder over the matter
and prepare for action.

AN ACI 10 He9ut0te the FU0ttc0-

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Sen

State of South Carolina, now met and
sitting in General Assembly, and by the
authority of the same, 1t shall be the
duty of the Attorney General, the Comp

State, conformity, to designate, by pub
lie notice [in] one or more newspapers
in this State, in which all legal notices,
advertisements, or publications for the
State, of any and every character reauir-
ed by law to be made public, shall be
published; and said Attorney General,
Comptroller General, and Secretary OF
State, shall have power TO make such
changes and new designations, from
time to time, as they may judge that
the public interest requires.
Sac. 2. All State and County Officers,
and other persons are hereby required
to furnish to the newspapers designated
under this Act, for the State and for the
representative counties, for publication,
|all legal notices, advertisements and

required by law to be made public; and

lie shall have any valid force or effect
unless published in the newspapers des

cation, of any character in any newspa

any season Of the year.
SALARIES OF JUDGES.
I recommend that the salaries oi
the Supreme Court and Circuit Court
Judges Of the State be prorortlonate-
ly increased, respectively.
They arc the hardest worked and
poorest paid officers in any depart
fnent of the State Government; and
while I am constantly adnonished ol
the necessity of economy iu the ad.
ministration of the government, !
deem it an net of simple justice ana
sound policy on the part of every
State to appropriate for the salaries OF
high judicial officers such amounts a.
are consistent both with the dignity
of their positions and the necessities
thereby imposed on them.
JURY LAW.
Under existing laws providing fol
the preparation of the jury lists, no
Court Of Common Pleas or General
Sessions can bo legally held in the
month of January, although it is
provided by statute that in several
counties therein named there shall br
held terms of said Courts, beginning
on the first Monday in January. Sec.
tion, 3, Chapter III, of the Genera
Statutes provides that the jnry lists
shall be prepared once in every year,
during the month of January, and
Section II of the same Chapter de-
clares that "the time for drawing ju-
rors shall not be less than seven nor
moro than fifteen days before the day
when the jurors are required to al
tend" 1t is obvious that if the jury
lists are to be prepared in January,
and "the jurors to be drawn not less
than seven days before the day on
which they are required to attend"
there can be no term held which re-
ouires the attendance of jurors on
the FIRST Monday in January. l rec
ommend that the law providing fol-
the preparation Of jury lists be sc
amended, at your present session, as
TO provide that the Board of Jury
Commissioner shall prepare jury
lists and draw the jurors whenever
it shall be necessary, for the holding
of any regular or special term OF th'
Court of General Sessions or Common
Pleas, in their respective counties.
