SOUTHERN CoTToH MANuFAcToRIRs.-
1t has always been contended even in the
days of slavery that the South where cotton
was grown, was the place where it could be
more cheaply manufacturedinto cotton goods
and although the Southern people were .
long time finding 1t out they have at length
learned the imp )rtant secret, and are taking
advantage Of it. Already the cotton fabrics
manufactured III Georgia have made their
marx. In our principal Northern markets
some of the have entirely superseded those
OF the same Glass. They are not only said to
bs superior in quality but cheaper in price,
and Of course command ready sale. But
Georgia is not to be permitted to hold mon
opoly of Southern manufacturing. Mississippi
desires to participate, and to this end .. con-
plete outfit for large cotton mill has Just
been shipped to Natchez, where it will coon
be put in place and operation.

Subs1dieS,

The propriety Of granting cid to railroads,
steamship lines and other enterprises is being
discussed to some extent. There is little I
any doubt but portion of the funds hereto
fore appropriated by Congress, to aid enter
prises OF different klods, has been used in an
improper manner, but that fact does not
prove tnat tha ebJass ssnoo Az, u.e i,nprvp.
er or that the aid extended should not have
been given. ...I
FAt time like the present, when industry
is languishing, and thousands of men suffer-
ing for the neeessAries Of life, the National
and State Governments may be appealed to
with great propriety to do something if posi-
bic that will afford relief, and contribute to
restore trade to its former activity.
IL will not do to permit men to starve AM 1t
fes much better to give them employment at
q far rate of wages, than to give them food
and clothing through charity. Beside if the
expenditure is made by the General Govern
ment, the burden will fall equally on the
whole population, and each citizen will con.
tribute mis- legitimate share of the amount ex-
pended. Every person engaged in business
would be benefited by any expenditure
calculated to stimulate trade, and there.
fore would have no occasion to complain of
ANY additional tax in consequence thereof.
Resides it may be asserted with great pro-
priety, that the government should aid in
carrying to successful completion all i'm
provements that are too great for individual
enterprise to accomplish. Without govern
ment aid the rivers and harbors of our coun-
try could not be improved, the Central Pa
cidc Railroad would not have been construc-
ted and various post Offices and custom
houses would not have been erected.
II appropriation for these were right, why
not extend aid to other roads, to the est.b-
llshment of steamship lines, and also to other
needed improvements. The government
stands in the relation Of a parent to the peo-
ple and what individual effort fails to accom-.
plish. it may properly take hold of. If the
effort prove successful the benefits will ac-
crue to all, and in case of failure the loss will,
be so light to each lldivldual, that 1t will not
be felt.

An Outrage on an EditOr.-Yester-
day, nj noon, while the Editor of this
paper was standing on the sidewalk
near Seneker's store, he was suddenly
ssiZed by strong hand which tore
the cravat from his neck. He en-
deavOred to cry Police Garroters ~
bur 1t was impossible. BY pecul lar
and Irresistible movement he was
rushed into one of the new and capa-
cious warerooms OF Ferguson Block -
For the moment all seemed over. Two
strong bands were about his throat
and resistance was useless. One OF
the finest and most fashionable silk
ties soon replaced the old one, and the
well known voice OF Charlie Thur
man was heard, Now go OIL with
your canvass, but you can't run the
Bristol ActCs nor represent Washing
ton county with anything less than
the best in the great Mammoth Cloth
ing House of Thurman" And this is
the way Thurman garrotes Bristol

Death of Mrs. DIR. AM. Garter

Death of Mrs. DIR. AN. Carter.
After long and very painful illness,
Mrs. Charlotte Louisa, wife of DR.. A.
NJ. Carter, died at her residence on
Virginia Hill, in this town last Thurs>
day at Q a. m. Aged nearly 28 yrs.
Mrs. Carter was the daughter of
Cyrus King deceased, and while she
was but a girl, was adopted into the
family Of her grand father, the late
Rev, James King, one of the foun-
ders OF Bristol. She was child of
decided beauty and promise, and Mr..
King exhibited for her an affection and
devotion that was almost more than
parental, For several years she was
the ornament and idol of his home
and at his death he provided for her
literally from his estate. In IS she
was married to DR., A. NJ. Carter of
this town. Three little cherubs
we're the offspring of this marriage.
During her long illness, which was OF
a pulmonary character, two OF these
little babes died within week Of
each other. Knowing her fate and
having the most thorough prepare =
ton for the future life, she submitted
with the most remarkable resignation
TO this double affection, Perhaps no
person ever looked more tearlcssly
and composedly into the gulf Of death
than Mrs. Carter. Her last months
were undarkencd by cloud. and her
Summer was almost a blaze of life,
though it may almost be said that
death was her daily companion. She
leaves sweet and beautiful little
daughter to carry in her eyes the
image of her departed mother and to
cheer the smitteu heart and break
the loneliness of an afflicted father IN
his journey across the long plain to
the grave.
