The Debut Of II. W. l..
Arthur.

Nh. Editor::..I had at first con-
cluded to pay no attention to that
lyan5 srticle which appeared in your
issue of the 25th instant, over the
signature Of that Congaree achelp,
but since he has attempted to de-
ceive the good readers of your val
liable paper I feel it duty, which
devolves upon me, to show him up
in his true light and awaken within
him feeling of surprise to his sad
condition.
There are three counts in the
case of this false and frivolous au-
thor:
1st. That he has attempted to
make it appear that he-the said
81. W. L. ARTHUR lis wealthy,
and must ever protect and defend
the aristocracy Of his County,
I'd. That he, the said Congaree
"J. ". L. ARTHUR" is intelligent
and educated, inspired with great
wisdom to detect the error in the
deNs
3rd. That he, the said ~. W. L.
AsrHUR," is a polished gentleman.
In answer to the first count I
mustsay that the inspired writer,
u. W. L.. ARTHUR" has lied, for by
referring to the Textbooks you will
find that he only pays one dollar
tax on his empty gom'd.
In answer to the second count I
am sorry to say that the said %.
". L. ARTHUR" has lied again, for
the article over his signature was
not his own production, but was
written by man WHO is base COW
ard and using the said 81. ". L.
ARTHUR" as tool for its publica-
ton.
In answer to the last count I am
truly sorry to make this exhibit, for
it will deprive the said u. ". L.
ARTHUR" Of every principle belong
ing or in anywise appertaining to
that which constitutes a gentleman.
81. W. L. ARTHUK" thou stands
charged with having stopped, for
the night, with an honest, hard
working gentleman, who resides on
the Augusta wagon road s miles
from Lexington Court House, and
that you, the said y. ". L. AR
THUR" sneaked off without paying
for your nights lodging.

Nh. Editor::-The Republicans,
and True Republicans, having had
a good deal to say in the D1spatch,
not long since, I now propose that
they all drop politics for a while,
and join us and say something
about establishing a few more Cot
ton Factories in Lexington County.
So far, as I have been informed,
those in operation are doing a pro-
ftable business, and, as there is no
danger of over doing the business,
T would suggest plan by which
one or two more might be put up
without the aid Of foreign capital,
or seriously embarrassing those in
terested in it.
There is water-power enough on
Twelve Mile Creek to spin all the
cotton raised in Lexington and
Edgefeld Counties, and money
enough could be raised in Lexlng-
ton County, within five years, to
put up the Factories to do the
work. I do not propose to go in
on quite so extensive a scale, but
start by putting up one good one'
capable of manufacturing one
thousand bales Of cotton a year,
and enlarge upon it as circum-
stances would permit. I am not
much acquainted with manufac-
turing, but it is my opinion that it
would require less capital to spin
one thousand bales of cotton than
it would to raise it, and if l am
right, the profit is certainly great
er, because pound ofspun cotton
is worth more than two pounds OF
raw cotton. Ny idea would be to
form a company and make one
hundred dollars share in the
stock, and allow no stockholder to
subscribe less than one share, but
as much more as he pleased. In
this way I think large number OF
shares could be obtained in the
County, Hundreds OF people in
the County would take one share
each, and many would take more.
T have not the least doubt that the
good citizens, owning the water
power on Twelve Mile Greek,
would willingly take the amount
of a reasonable price for the wa
ter-power in stock, and glad to do
so to forward the enterprise. L
would like to hear the opinion OF
others upon this plan of establish
ing Factories throughout the counT
try. and, I may say more upon the
1s another time if the plan
s'i M '.srs be those interested.

Pitlnan's Photography has hith-
erto been considered the shortest,
most perfect and rapid system OF
Shorthand Writing. It, how
ever, has several and important
defects: being difficult to learn on
account of it's numerous rules, with
an array of exceptions to them,
and from the fact that several
sounds have a multiplicity of signs,
which are apt to delay and confuse
even an inexperienced writer, who
has to think which form he should
use when he ought to be free
from all thought except as to what
the speaker is saying. The de-
fects, and the necessity Of a more
simple and uniform system, have
led to the perfection of q new sys-
tenn known as Edeography (de-
rived from two Greek words mean
ing pleasant writing,) which is free
from all irregularities, and is much
easier, and thirty per cent. shorter
than P1TMAS's. The whole princi-
pie of this new art may be acquired
in a few days, and months prac-
tice of one hour daily in reading
and writing will enable any one to
use it with facility. The Manual
of Edeography'' is published by
Messrs. T. W. EVANS & Co., Of

We do not wonder at the grum-
