State gives the following in regard to Sergean
& McCauley's Foundry in that town, which
establishment is we'll known as the manufac
tory of the "Tropic" cooking-stove, so justly
popular wherever it has been introduced
The North Carolina Foundry, Machine anc
Agricultural Works of Sergeant & McCauley
occupy about two and one-half acres, and il
extent and capacity are unsurpassed by any
in the South. Their principal business is ii
the manufacture of stoves, hollow-ware, etc.
though they do large business in genera
foundry and machine work.
The stove mandatory, though established
but FIVE years ago, has increased to such al
extent andltheir stoves have gained such {
reputation, that their trade is immense in thi
and adjoining States, and is gradually exten
ding throughout the South and Southwest
At present, they are only manufacturing three
STYLES of stoves: the "Tropic," (cooking,) two
sizes, and the Forest Rose" and "Organ Par
lor," (heating) FIVE sizes Of the former ant
ole of the latter. 1t is the intention of the
firm to introduce-the present seasone-othel
patterns of both cooking and heating stoves

ploy forty to fifty hands.
In the foundry and machine works, they
manufacture extensively, saw mills, horse

The New Attorney. General.
Governor Chamberlain has appointed
Major William Stone, to be Attorney General
in the place of Samuel w. Melton, Esq, re-
signed. The Charleston Ne.os and Course'
furnishes the following in regard to the ap
pointee:
"He was born in East Machias, Maine, in
1912, and passed his early life in Massachu'
setts In 1861 he entered the Union Army
as private in the 10Th Massachusetts Volun'
teers, and in that capacity served in the Army
of the Potomac. At Sharpsburg he was Sc
verely wounded, and at Gettysburg he was
equally unfortunate. He was subsequently
transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corpse
and was promoted to the rank of captain and
brevet major. In 1867 he received an ap-
pointment as first lieutenant in the regular
army, which position he held until 1870, when
he resigned. For some time after the war
closed he was on duty in the Freedman's Bu-
reau, and was stationed at Anderson, Aiken
and Columbia, in this State, and at Louisville,
KY. After leaving the army, he commenced
the practice of law in Charleston in connec'
ton with Maj. D. T. Corbin. In 1871 he was
appointed assistant United States district at
torney for South Carolina, which position he

has since held. Mai. Stone is small in persol

has since held. Maj. Stone is small in person,
pleasant in manners, hard student, an able
and upright member of the Charleston bar,
and is one of the few Republicans in South
Carolina who have held aloof from politics
and whose private character is b]ameless.
."To the Bar, the appointment of Major
Stone will we believe, be highly acceptable,
and we are confident that it will be satisfac-
tory to the public. Major Stone is fully com.
peteut for the post, and the independence and
fearlessness of his character will have ample
scope in the discharge of its varied and COM
plex duties. The Attorney General is, also,
ez o6icio a member of the Board of State
Canvassers, most important and responsible
position, in view of the approaching election.
Gov. Chamberlain has made an admirable ap-
pointment, as time will show" .....-

Centennial year. Since then the selfseeking
politicians Of one party, the Mortons and
Blaines, have exerted themselves with a
mischievous ingenuity to turn back the hands
on the dial to rekindle the old flames, to re-
new the old strife. They have had substantial
aid and comfort in this patriotic and Christian
work from the fools and hot-heads of the other
party and the other section. But they have
not succeeded they are not going to succeed.

SARATOGA, N. Y. August 23.-At a
meeting of delegates from eighteen coun-
ties to the Liberal Republican convention,
d. D. s. Brown, member of the Liberal
state committee, presiding, it was resolved
that inasmuch as they had been refused
admission to the Liberal convention called
by Cochrane unless they pledge them
selves in advance to support the Republi-
can administration, that the assemblage
now in session under the leadership Of
John Cochrane is incompetent and un.
authorized to take any action as Liberal
Republicans.
ResolUed, That we have implicit conf.
deuce in the admirable reform policy OF
the.governor of this state. and have the
fullest faith in his ability and stateman-
ship, and admire his honest faith in the
people; that without undertaking to speak
for the Liberal Republican party, we rec
comend all True Liberals of the country t.
cordially support the ST Louis nominee:
as the best means Of lifting the country
out of the ruin which threatens it.
