BUSINESS. ss.-The cotton manufacturing
company. of Greenville, mean business.
Their factory is abont ready for opera
ton. They will make cloth and prints.
That there is money in it. every one
believes, who knows anything Of it's
history and condition. This has all
been accomplished by the energy of the
leaders OF the enterprise. The Green.
Vile Enterprise says:
''Tbe race and dam of TIE new fao-
tory are being built, and most of the
work on each has been completed. The
race is almost in the same place OF the
one removed; the dam will be some
higher than the former one. The large
water wheel is being put in position,
making ready for active operations.
The company having advertised for
hands, the work OF manufacturing will,
doubtless, soon begin. Much progress
has been retarded by the continued
rains and bad weather."

Decline I,uhuct,on..

Il lgeield County. one of the best in
the State in the quality Of its lands,
had. iu 1850. population of 3o.262,
and in 1870, 42,4S6; difference in
favor of the latter date of 1924. But
that is all the advantage it has over the
former The census of 1870 gives evi-
dence of serious decline in production
In 1850, Edge6eld raised 9.653 bushels
moro wheat, 207, $50 bushels more oats,
743, 230 bushels moro corn. 1856, 6,96l
bushels more sweet potatoes, and S,327
more bales of cotton than it did in
1870. This is sad picture to look at.
Edgetield may be proud, however, of
her manufacturing business, aud we
hope that even in her agricultural pro.
ductions, some change for the better
has taken place since the reports we're
made up for tho census of 1876.

The OLD CHARGER's WELL-KEpT

enough not to be true, but as We ore
constantly reminded that truth is
stranger than fiction. possibly we had
better swallow it, as the horse did the
silver box, and say nothing about it.
Tho story first appeared in 1850, and
now it is taken from the ''scrap book"
Of DR.. Robert Chambers: 1.-The con.

raj which had belonged to tho army

Union, Nay 8.

SOMETHING COOP ABOUT MOTHERS IN
LAw.-Ail good mothers-in law Will
laugh with us at this funny story, which
comes to us from Chicago: Amelia Don
nerschig sued August Bshrens for
breach of promise, aud the case was
heard by Justice Banyon, damages being
laid in the sum of 5000 The defence
was, that Amelia insisted on bringing
her mother 10 live with her in her new
home. "Now." said the defendant,
cher mother is woman Of lordly and
unpleasant habits, and would insist
upon feeding mo too much upon cab
bage-a vegetable for which 1 have q
great dislike. 1 am reudy to marry
Amelia. but not ready to we'd the old
lady" The Judge: MY young friend,
which would you rather do-marry
the woman and take the mother to
live with you. Or pay $1,000" A
line sarcastic expression at ouce illu-
minated the visage of Augustus. Firm
ness, also, WAS to be noticed IN
HE accent AZ ho answered: II will pay
the 5000" When he had said this, the
Judge congratulated him, and OBJ.
served: If I had only had the m oral
courage which you possess, it would
have saved me about twenty I've years
Of misery and unhuppiness;' and then
his Honor went on to tell the old, old
story about his mother-in law Bnt the
best was yet to come. 1.-The order Of

that the defendant stand discharged,
and that Amelia, who has been trying
to bring man into slavery to mother
in-law, be fined $40 aud COSTS 1t

Why THE JUDGES WERE ARRESTED.
The Democrats Little Rock special SAYS
the reaeon for the arrest of Judges
Searle and Bennett, of the Supreme
Court, may be summed as follows:
There is stnnding appropriation Of
$50, 200 ut the disposal of the Cover
nor for the payment of tho militia
when called into service. This statute
was passed in 1888. Gov. Brooks made
o requisition for part of this fund; the
Auditor drew warrant upon the Trea-
sdrer Tor the money, who. to protect
himself from any doubtful payment, re-
fused to honor the warrant; whereupon
the attorneys OF Brooks prepared man.
damus against the Treasurer, asking that
he be compelled to pay the money. TO
the mantltmus, the Treasurer responded
that the presiding officer of the Senate,
to whom the returns were made, had
declared Baxter Governor of the State.
and ho submits that Brooks has no all.
thority to draw upon the fund. To this,
replication was prepared, setting up tbs
Judgment OF the Circuit Court in favor
OF Brooks for The Office of Governor and
his installation into Office. To this re-
piicntion. demurrer was prepared, to
tho elect that the Circuit Court was
without Jurisdiction to render judg
mcnt. The question presented by tho
pIeadlngs would necessarily havo deter
mined who is legal, and to prevent this
discrimination by the court. Judges
Bennett aud Searle were captured and
spirited away.

The Mississippi Flood.

Another disastrous break in the Missis-
sippi levee below Memphis is reported,
inundating large and rich section of cot
ton lands. 1t is almost impossible to es-
innate the extent Of the calamity which
has beiallen the river country. From
Memphis to the Passes the crevasses are
over fifty miles in width. Through them
flow streams greater and more powerful
than the mighty Mississippi itself, and
which pour out on this devoted country
1000 900, 900 cubic feet of water every
hour Not only is this water thrown on
the land, but it must find its way to the
sea through six hundred miles of low, al
luyial lands. Tho loss on account of the
sugar crop alone, direct and consequential,
is set down at s6,000,00O.
Two additional creyasses opened on
Sunday, in front of Friar's Point, Miss.
One of these breaks is one hundred yards
wide and the other fifty, and they have
flooded Friar's Point and the surrounding
country. The river made cutoff" Of
fourteen miles at Council Bend, and as
consequence the river below that point
began rising at the rate of one inch per
hour.
A dispatch dated Memphis, Tenn, ON
Wednesday, says the crevasse in the levee
on the Mississippi side, near Friar's Point,
is now six hundred feet wide, and the
water in the streets of Friar's Point is
three feet deep, families aud merchants
are moving out, and the whole country in
the rear is flooded. Cotton trees two and
half feet in diameter are torn up by the
torrents. A crevasse has occurred on the
opposite side Of the Mississippi, and is de-
luging the finest plantations in that sec
ton.
The chairman Of the Louisiana Relief
Committee at New Orleans has submitted
to Governor Kellogg statement of the
supplies sent to the flooded districts. Du-
ring the Is days ending March sth, there
were sent to those districts S52 900 rations
of breadstuffs and $50, 900 Of meat. The
Government supplied l62 900 of the for
mer aud $4,000 of the latter. The com
mittee have been unable to meet all the
demands upon them, and the distress is
increasing on account of the exhaustion of
the food in the hands of the people at the
time of the overflow. They estimate the
number of destitute in Louisiana alone at
81 800
Relief is being sent from all parts of
the country, in money clothing aud provi-
slons, and efforts are being made to render
the condition of the sufferers comfortable
