which men strive and war? Let the
labor-scorner look to himself, and
learn what are the trophies. From
the crown Of his head to. the sole Of

tricled him into the stature and ap-

answer. Labor-which makes music

Newspaper Law.

We invite attention to the law con-
eerning newspapers
l. Subscribers who 10 not give cx-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing TO continue their
subscription.
2. If subscribers wish their paDe J.
discontinued publishers may continue
10 send them until all charges are
paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their papers from the Offices
or places to which they are sent, they
are held responsible until they settle
their bill and give notice to discon-
tinle thcrs..
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
or, and the paper is sent to the for
mer direction, they are held .rcspon-
sible. Notice should always be
given ofremovaF.
8: Phe Courts have decided that
refusing 70 take paper or periodical
from the Office. or removing and
leaving il ancalled for, is prima facic
stidence as intentienal rrand.

Cotton Factories in the South.

We arc glad to notice that much
attention is being pa,u to The subject
of manufacturing the cotton grown SO
abundantly in the South III the very
sections where it is produced. With
the present price OF labor, and other
facilities now enjoyed, manufacturing
here may readily be male a grand
success. That it can be done TO adj
vantage, has already been clearly
demonstrated. We need only the
business energy and capital TO operate
on this line in this immediate vicinity
to make Orangcburg one Of the most
prosperous counties in the State. We
have long been growing the cotton,
but neglccting to use rare facilities to
manufacture it within our own reach.
We cannot afford TO pay others to do
this business for us in connection
with such heavy bills for transporta-
ton. An exchange says:
6 Great changes are likely ere long
to take place in the sites Of cotton
manufacture. Factories in our cot
ton. growing States arc paying excel
lent Dividends, and as soon as their
poor distracted people can insure
freedom, peace and safety, manulac-
turing capital and enterprise will
doubtless flow into them with 4
strong tide. The same change is
also taking place, but on q much
greater scale, i'll British India, where
The profits on cotton factories are
very high.
"The first result of manufacturing
cotton in the countries where it grows
will be TO cut or tile demand of those
countries from tic present manurac-
turers, and the next will be to COM
pete with them in the markets Of the
world"

Remedy fer Hard Times.

The remedy recommended by cor
respondent of the Witness is: /. To
increase production by putting every
acre possible under good cultivation.
3. TO turn much attention to fruit
growing, packing, shipping, ETC., in
the best style. 3. Farmers should,
as far as practicable. raise what they
need for family use on their own
farms, and give up depending on
speciallies. 4. Strict but not Mig
yarelly economy should be practiced,
and all super tluities cut off, especially
Intoxicating drinks and tobacco. s..
The laboring classes should have
nothing to do with unions, clubs, So
cietics or strikes to keep up wages,
which do not and will not succeed.
The above prescription followed for
4 year would assurcdly rchabilitate
all the wholesome interests of the
country, and give us an almost un-
parallclcd prosperity. We would
only add, let our sister States in the
South become happy families, and
their present desolations will blossom
as the rose

The 2ouN

What a ya-uc icrni 5 is. In the
mouths Of Shareholders it meant the
few hundred thousand white men who
owned slaves. The interests Of the
South meant their Interests, and not
those Of either the negroes or tlc
poor white trash. Weap' u Size
latter are now, to some extent, in,.o,,
eel in the term South, though it stiIl
stands for just about the same class as
before the war. This 'South," wiihits
class-legislation and repression Of cdu-
cation, has been sad drawback 10 The
real South. II the vast unculIiy
estates which it possessed had at the
close Of the war been given away as
hCmesteads in small lots to tbe Union
soldiers and the freedmen, mon con
diton of actual settlement, what DIFF
fcrent region the South would have
been by this time! Each plantation
Of ten thousand acres would have
been settled by some two hundred
thrifty families, who would have af
forded society and protection to each
other, md the produce Of the iand
would have been increased mauy-ro!d.
Free institutions, education, and other
means Of progress would also have
been secured. This was not, how
ever, deemed practicallc-although
in accordance with the usual laws and
and customs of nations concerning
suppressed rebellions-and the same
result must now be sought by The
SLOW operation of peaceful means. IF
all the old slave States would pro-
claim pefect equality OF rights and
liberty Of speech and Of suffrage to
all citizens, with welcome and safety
for immigrants, the South would soon

Dangerous Monopo.ies.

1t is impor'2r' t'sT' our Lceiolr
tufe should be III tho interests Of thc
people rather thali 10 augment the
power of growing and arbitrary cor
poratlons that are seeking, with too
much success to govern The country.
It is becoming n serious quest ioa,
Who owns this nation? We are still
fncifnetto think the fee simple is il
the people, and that they have a
vested right il their President, Con
gfess,, Governors and Legislaturcs,
but every now and then something
turns up to render this theory doubt
ful.
We find, for instance, that Uncle
Samuel must not run telegraph wires
over his estate, because the Western
