SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.
Advantages of Southern Mills
The Reason why the
Mills Don't Come TO
the Cotton.


The practiced observer and WELL
known correspondent, Edward King,
in a recent letter to the Boston Jour
nal, relates how Northern gentleman
VINO had been making trip through
Georgia and South Carolina, went
back strongly impressed with the
prospects Of those sections for the de-
yelopment of manufactures. He had
been in Augusta, Graniteville, Co.
lumbus and other places where the
manufacture of cotton goods is carried
on with great success. lie had seen
a Scotchman who Was settled in Geor
gia, and who told him that he is making
ginghams as fast as the machinery
will turn them out. Every yard Of
these Yinghams is sold in the Southern
States just as fast as it is put into the
market. The Scotchman said that he
began by bringing labor from Scot
land, but that proved worthless, for
reasons which he did not state, and
that as soon as the native population
was induced to labor, ii furnished all
the operatives required at the most
reasonable rates. He was always be-
seiged by girls anxious for work, and
the places for Substitutes" even were
battIed for. The Northern man WAS
50 much impressed by the various adj
vantages that Southern cotton mills
must always have over Northern ones,
that he has become convinced that
the South will in the future beour great
manufacturing section. Mr. King
adds:
There are ahundred economies un.
known to our New England mills
which are daily practiced in the es-
tablish mentS at Augusta and Granite
vile. Cotton which is brought only
few miles does not hare to he pressed
SO that its masses ii the bales are al
most as hard as iron, and so that il Is
mastered when i. comes to the pick
er. All the water wheels, etc, which
il the North are protected and barri~
caded against cold and ice, are unpro-
tected in the South. There are so
many superiorities in the Southern To-
cation that every visitor in this region
admits them. Then the Southerner
says:
"'We!l, sir, why don't you come
down here and start manufacturing
on large scaIe?"
And the Northern man answers:
because yoq have no settled gov
ernment. Because you do not hang
people relentlessly when they commit
murder. Because your public debt
may possibly berepudiated. Because
could not be sure that property
would be worth anything for any
length of time. Because"
"And there in nine cases out Of ten
! the matter rests.

Original Advice for Drinkers.

Lecture Of T. c. Campbell at Mayf Id, Ky.
Barkeepers in this city pay on an av-
erage 81 per gallon for whisky. One
gallon contains an average Of sixty
five drinks, and at ten cents drink
the poor man pays $3.50 pergallon for
his whisky. Iu other words, he pays
81 for the whisky and $3.50 to a man
for handing it over the bar. Make
your wife your barkeeper. Lend her
50 to buy a gallon Of whisky for be,
ginning, and every time you want a
drink go to her and pay her ten cents
for it. BY the time you have drank
a gallon she will have $3.50, or
enough money to refund the 81 bor-
rowed of you, to pay for another gal
lon of liquor, and have balance Of
$3.50. She will be able to conduct
future operations on her own capital,
and when you become an inebriate,
unable to support yourself, shqnned
and despised by all respectable persons
your wife will have enough money to
keep you until you get ready to ill a
drunkard's grave.

A Senator. Vet not a Deadhead.
From the Baltimore Gazette.


WASHINGTON, Feb. ii cannot

Lamarrto d1y. at is impossible. i
never paid a cent beyond livery hire
and few little hindrcd items of elec>
ton expenses in my life, and | have
been in politics long time. | could
save 81 900 a year if | would do cer>
tain things, but | do not think my
conscience would be satisfied if | did.
For instance, l pay about $500 year
for newspapers; l Ike to read them.
| have passes over railroads; | could
travel all over the United States free,
but | pay my fare. 1t costs me s57
for each member of my family every
time l come and 90 between here and
home. / have telegraph passes, but
| never use them do not think it
would be right. can send anything
l please over the express lines, yet l
pay my express bills. spend my
salary and never have any money.
Some Senators use all these privls
leges of deadheading, and they say 1t
is right. think otherwise. But
there is one thing l think should be
done, and l shall propose it as soon as
! get chance. Every Senator should
have private secretary. de has
more correspondence, committee work,
&c, than he can do. The Senator
gets $1,000 a year, and cannot sup
port his family in keeping with his
position and employ private secre-
tary oa that sum-"
The conscience of Senator Lamar
should he embalmed. The deadhead-
lug business is carried to such eX-
tremes that it is nothing unusual to
sec "a street car filed with Congress
men, about the time the house adj
journs, all presenting passes to the
conductor to save the paltry sum OF
five ce-. It's.

CARROLL ITEMS.

Hogs are said to be dying very fast
around here with cholera. Let some
one come to the front with remedy.
From the Huntingdon Republican.
Joe Kennon has received fine bug
gy, which he had made to order, N
Milan. 1t is the workmanship of Mr.
Holt, of that place.
Last Monday there was set Of
men il town who were not only dis
grace to themselves, but disgrace to
the county they live in. All day long,
whether upon the public square or
near private dwelling houses, whether
in back alleys or upon the crowded
streets, might be heard the voice of
the drunken wretch. cursing aloud and
using indecent language. AS night
approached, this drunken set grew
more and more outrageous in their
conduct, and more and more indecent
in their language. The square, or
portions Of it, was crowded with this
ruffianly mob, and pistols cleaned and
gli.tenel in the moonlight. Our town
marshal attempted to arrest Dad La>
cey, one Of the Grew" and even did
SO, but he was Immediately rescued by
Bill Kirby and others, who defed the
marshal. In the confusion of the mo-
ment, both Kirby and Lacey got away,
leaving their horses in tow ofthe mar
shal, and it seemed that that was the
last of them. But Kirby took round
ance, and attempted to make off with his
mule, whiah he succeeded in mount
ing, and started down Jackson street
in a gallop, when some one cried,
"There he goes, kill him" and imme-
diately the report of pistol told that
some one was trying to obey the order.
When the pistol fred Kirby chang
ed his course and dashed around the
Square as fast as his mule could 90,
with the Marshal in close pursuit.
When in front of Carter q Priests,
the girth broke, and he tumbled of
and took to his heels, some one shoot
Ing twice at him as be ran. The ap-
pe:rance of some half dozen Of our cit,
izeus on the scene with douhle-barrcl-
ed shot guHs in hand rather dampen
ed the arAor of the rioters, and they
began to disperse. Laterin the night
Kirby was captured, and CAV" bond
tor his appearance next morning,
when he was fined S25 upon two In
dictments, and held over in FIVE hun
dred dollars bond for his appearance
THURSDAY to answer to another indict'
ment.

valuable pair of mules. 1t seems
that the team became manageable

filated down stream some distance

The Charleston News aud COErier
publishes IN abstract of the testimony
taken before Mr. Blaine's committee
who were sent to South Carolina to
investigate the charges Of fraud and
intimidation in the recent election. Ii
will be remembered that the commits
tee consisted of three republicans and
two democrats, and though their in
veStigation does not seem to have
been exhaustive, it establishes several
important facts. In the first place,
it is shown that republicans had print-
ed and used the "tissue ballots" on
which Mr. Blaine laid such stress, and
which Senator Cameron denounced as
"badges of fraud" One republican
candidate for Congress had as many
as ten thousand of these "badges of
fraud" printed, and il appeared that
many Of them were used. in the
next place, it was proved that colored
democrats in some localities were pull
ed from their horses and their shirts
torn from their backs; that threats
were made to "tar and feather them;'
that a colored democrat PANIED john
son was beaten, and his children driy-
en- from school because he was a dem>
ocrat; that another colored democrat
named Minott was CIT and shot and
many others set upon and badly used.
