a Prosperous ENTEErRISE.-Thc annual re-

CHARLEsTON-MAD BAGGING.-Some weeks
ago the beginning of operations at the Charles
ton Tagging Factory was formally announced.
Since that time the work done has steadily in
creased in quantity and improved in quality,
and what difficulties the Company had to con
tend with arc virtually overcome. The chief
obstacle was that the young women who arc en-
ployed had no experience whatever in feeding
and directing the machines. This inconvc-
nicncc the Company chccriully bore, in prefer
ence to bringing down operatives from the
North. 1t was the determination of the mana
gers to give Charleston the full benefit Of the
new undertaking by employing Charleston rco-
pie.
The Company is now fully equipped. 1t is
an accomplished fact. Yesterday the first sale
of Charleston made bagging was effected, tweire
h"narcd rolls being purchased by G. w. Williams
Co. This is concrete fact Of the most cheer
ing kind ; for, excepting the cost of jute and
other materials the whole proceeds of the sale
Of the baggng are earned and spent in Charles
ton. There is plenty Of idle capital in this
State, and the success Of the Tagging Company
Should lead to the establishment Of other facto-
rics of different kinds. Who will start the cot
ton mill that has been talke cd about so long p

jcc,cd 10y Robert Y. llaync, approaches compile

lNrErENDENTIsM IN SoUTH CARoLINA.-And
all ovci South Carolina independent candidates
arc popping up their heads Men with neither
patriotism nor judgement, and forgctful of the
darkness and gloom Of the long night of Radi-
cal rule from which their State has but recently
emerged, arc arrayng themselves against the
organization Of the party Of law and order, and
seriously threaten to impevil its success in the
coming election. This is shameful and criminal
and as n result ii is not to DC wondered at that
the Republican party, which was so severely
crushed by the Hampton victory, is again show
ing signs of life and activity. 1t is wonderful
that men will be so reckless of the public wcal
in seeking the qualification Of personal ambi.
ton. If South Carolina should aSalh fall into
the hands Of her enemies, or if the good work
which has been inaugurated by the Democratic
administration Should be checked or undonc, an
indignant people can have no two opinions as to
where the blame properly belongs Charlotte

Sunset Cox - The Story that He Tells on

tom BROWNE-not of Rugby, but
i of Indiana-tells good story on
Sam Cox; or rather repeats it from the
genial Samuel, who repeats it himself.
One day, shortly after election, Mr..
Cox was seated in his study hard at
work, when card was brought in. 1t
was rather rough looking piece of
pasteboard, betokening that the caller
was not exactly of the cultured class.
'Show the gentleman in,' said Mr..
Cox whereupon there appeared rough
looking customer, clad in the garb of
workingman, who, without waiting for
ceremony, remarked, interrogatively
