A Cotton Factory.

1t vii! be seen by our report Of the
proceedings Of the .Agricult,,raI
Society that Il committee is appoin ed
to take subscriptions to the capital
stock Of a cotton factory in our Town
No enterprise is so much needed, in
our County and in every section
where cotton is grown, as this; and
certainly cur farmers and merchants
will give it all the aid possible by
investing a small portion OF their
earnings i'll the stock. The difference
between the price Of 1872 bales of cot
ton III our market and the same
amount of yarn will be over $4,000
dollars; and just that amount will be
saved to the County OF Orangcburg
by the success OF this enterprise. This
sum will be kept at home and BE- en-
ploycd to advance The material pros
perity OF our citizens; that is, the sum
of 10000 dollars will be put in cir
culotion in the County, thc next more
than the present year, BY 50 small IN
enterprise as that proposed By the
Agricultural Society.
The accumulation Of property does
not consist i'll storing away substance
for gradua! coiis,;ln ptioi,, but III iic
gradual increase Of aggregate values.
The Indians Of our W estcrn Terri
tories store away their years supplies
only to be consumed as their ncccssi-
ties demand and never accumulate
property; but when man saves over
and above his actual expenditures Il
certain amount Of grain or cotton, or
other values then he is wealthier by
that much. II he exchange these
values by investing them in Il factory,
or some other successful enterprise,
he again increases lis wealth; and
thus by repeated exchanges OF invest
mcnt Is property accumulated. IF
our farmers would invest only a small
portion Of their values in the pro-
pcSed factory and form Il ioint stock
company, the increase Of property by
S'l3,ZgaasAocls-- h4s}za'r.-a=azzhsaaeSsn 90, 9 90
'ilars over and above the invest
ment the first year. Such an increase
would warrant lar cl operations and
consequently ini-,r accommodations.
We trust the entcrprisr 50 ausnic resly
begun may not he allowed to fill
truitless in the huni> Of the com
mittee. Let books or subscriptions
bo opened in the different sections of
the County and every effort, o,her-
wise, be made to carry il to a success
iul consumation. And neither The
I County nor Town Of Ogangcburg will
! regret the move three years hence
There are always resulting benefits
from every new enterprise 20 the
community where it happens TO be
located and this will be no exception
to the general rule.
We wish the Agriculture Society
all the success possible in this their
new venture.

squabbling over the Fisheries.

In our columns to-day will be found the
sworn statement of New England skipper
reciting his adventures on the Newfound-
land coast, where with many other Yankee
shippers and the Gloucester fleet he
was engaged in the herring fishery.
1t appears by this story that the
i'll disposed and belligerent natives
OF those parts set upon and maltreated the
said Yankees. cut and destroyed their nets,
so that they lost their fish, and drove them
from the fishing grounds. AS the American
fishermen believed they were acting under
the rights guaranteed them by the Treaty Of
Washington. Formerly the fishermen who
went to Newfoundland for herring did not
catch the fish themselves, but bought
them already caught at so much barrel
from the natives, and this commerce was
naturally of certain Importance to the
people of those parts. But lately our fish,
ermen have taken with them large and effi-
cient nets and have caught their own fish,
which makes great gain to them and great
loss to the Newfoundland people Hence
the assault of the latter, determined not to
permit encroachments of that sort on their
ancient sources of income. AS the fisher
man is to make his stat tement the basis Of
demand for indemnity the government will
doubtless ascertain whether the treaty is of
any value or VIII ether the will Of the New
foundland mob shall rule.

none but an Italian priest should be chosen.
Happy indeed for the Church if he is q
moderate to bring forth the untram-
melled Papacy from its Vatican isolation.
Happier still if he should be (and stranger
things have happened) such man
as John McCloskey, none the less holy
that he knows and respects the secular
government of the people by the people.
AS showing how some worthy devotees have
chosen the next Pope, let us tell story.
About two months ago Pho Mono told his at
tendants one morning that he had dreamed OF
having white bread before him which he was
obliged to leave for others. AS he told the
dream an austere-f faced ecclesiastic was seen
approaching and Cardinal Panebianco knelt
before the Pope "Ah," said the Pope,
''here is the white bread (pane bidnco) that
/ dreamed Of" So the mystics insist that
the sour, self-fagellating Franciscan was
indicated in vision as the Pope after Plus.
But dreams proverbially go by contraries,
even the dreams of Pope.

ment. Sufficient funds are annually sub
scribed by the charitable to do great deal
of good if judciously applied, but see tered
as they are by some one hundred and fifty
different societies the mere doles distributed
serve rather to pauperize the beneficiaries
than to help them out of their miserabl.
condition. The successful results recently
arrived at in London by the "Charty Or.
ganization Society" have induced the
friends of the poor in the cities o.
Chicago and Buffalo to adopt somewhat
similar system, in the hope of achieving
some lasting benefits. There is also, we

A Snd story OF Life.

A very sad story indeed, is that of the
poor woman who attempted to desert her
infant child on Water street last Friday
moving along apparently in deep distress,
with bundle in her arms, and seeing she was
in trouble asked her what was the matter
The poor creatures reply was an agonized
moan, as she hurried past the officer. ap-
parently anxious to escape his notice. The
man, suspecting something wrong kept
her in sight until she disappeared in a
passageway on Water street, from which
she soon again emerged, with female in
fant three or four weeks old in her arms
Then removing her shawl she spread it
hastily on n stoop, laid her baby tenderly
down, gave the little one passionate kiss
and rushed away. OF course the police
man followed and arrested her, and brought
her back to where she had lett the
child. When taken to the police court
on charge of abandonment she held
the infant clasped convulsively to her
breast, as if, deeply repentant of the de-
serton, she now dreaded lest some person
might force her baby from her arms. Her
answer to the Judge was simple and
touching and told her whole bitter his
tory--"O my God what could l do? 1
love it, but had no place to take it to-"
God help the poor mother who is COM
PEELED to utter such a cry-who, in the
midst of Christian community and of
charitable institutions maintained at the
expense of millions, is driven to tear her
own heart by the fearful crime of desertion
rather than to wander the streets and see
her child perish in her arms of
want and exposure. Surely there
ought to be some public charity
at which this unhappy woman and her
child could have been promptly received
and kindly cared for There is too often q
sort of red-tapism about the dispensation
of charities which is apt to withhold relief
from immediat suffering until the less
scrupulous agencies of death or crime step
in and dispose of the case in their own
wnv. The unfortunate ought to be made to
