The Nobility OF Labor.

In the carly ages of The world the
laborer was held in low estimation,
and given the most degraded position
jill the scale of humanity. The feu-
dEl lord treated his serfs and vassals
rs interiors in every respect, and they
were made subject, in every way to
his will. And, unfortunately, even in
the present day, such ideas arc linger-
ing amongst us.
But 1t is cheering sign that n vast
improvement is gradually taking
place i'll this rcspec ct, AS the minds
OF men become more expanded things
appear in their true light and broader
and more correct views are held on
all subjects.
The truth is that tho true lor,l is
the laborcr. His hard labor and
calncst toll moves the world His
brawny arm and sunburnt face are
better badges Of honor than the
crowns of princes. 1t is cheering
fact, that honest labor DO longer de
grades one i'll the eyes of those whose
esteem is worth having. The station
no longer makes the man, but the
man the station
Nor is labor alone ennobling, but
it is self satisfying. The ruddy
checks, the strong muscle, and The
sweet rest Of the honest toiler are
blessings for which millionaires would
give their treasures, and kings even
their crowns.

would be the height of folly for the
State to tax those enterprises for
many years to come, because it is in
this way that the wealth Of the State

Cotton Mills.

The information acquired by 4
staff correspondent Of the Nems nnl
Courier i'll reference to Cotton Mills
in Carolina, and published in that
paper OIL Tuesday is valuable and
encouraging to our people.
From review Of the subject made
by the editor, we make few quota
tions which we hope may Stir the
citizens OF Orangeburg County on this
matter. We have heard the frequent
cry that investments in factories don't
pay, but we think the results of the
investigation prove to The contrary.
"Thc II cotton factories in South
Carolina have capital of 50 2SS,.
600. They have passed through
a period Of dcpressions which the
whole country has known, ami arc
now enjoying the benefits of a reviv-
al Of business. But it is n rem ark
able circumstance, bearing out all
that We claim as to the superior ud
vantage of cotton producing Statc
for manufacturing purposes, thut they
have steadily made money, and that,
despite the shrinkayc Of values and
the lower cost Of machinery, every
dollar invested in them rs capital is
now worth more than dollar and 81
quarter. In other words, their capital
of two million and quarter of dollars
is represented to day by property
which is worth, ut the actual market
rate, nearly three millions of dollars.
The profits Of the factories, cxclul
ing the Westmini>tcr Mill, where the
Clement Attachment is used, have
ranged .Jrom 1910 254 per cent. Il ycu,
upon the capital employed. This
has been accomplished under most
untavoIablc circumstances
The above shows the value of such
investments to individual capitalists.
lS TO 20 per cent. is rs good interest
as any one could expect on his cnpi
tai. But the advantage in building
up the State and putting US on an
equality i'll material prospects with
the Northern manufacturing States
are OF greater concern to the public.
1t is known that the raw mater ial is
now worth about 10 cents, but after
it is converted into yarn it will be
worth ~ cents per pound. The
seventeen factories consume in South
Carolina about $4,000 bales of cotton
at 10 cents pound; this is worth
about 81 ,62l 900 in the raw state. In
yarns or manufactured material the
came would be Sorth about SO, )0O,.
600. This shows how much addition
nj wealth factories give to the State;
and in building up the State Of course

A few days since, the colored
persons who occupied the farm
of DIR. Burrus, which was the
situation of the west wing of the
Federal army at Mprlreesboro,
while digging a cellar where the
honse stood, came across the re-
mains Of a number of bodies of
soldiers. The Superintendent
of the cemetery investigated
the matter, and found it to be a
trench in which eleven bodies
were found, and from the but
tons and remnants of uniforms,
If was discovered that some of
fine bodies were Confederate sol
diers and some Federal soldiers.
The bodies were removed and all
buried in the National Cemetery,
and a headstone put up on 1T IN

The platform Of the national
democracy in 1876 emphatically
denounced reputation in any
form. The platform at Cincin-
natl next June viii also emphat-
ically denounce all forms of re-.
pudiation. The Democratic par
ty Of the nation must steer clear
Of reputation or it can never
hope to secure possession of the

of view, the democrats Of Ten

Able to Pay
lMorristown Gazette.

It cannot be truthftllly main
tanned that the people are unable
to pay something. If, then, they
refuse to pay anything, the refu-
sal must be charged to their dis
honesty. Democrats will be
slow to admit that the majority
Of the party are in favor of re-
pudiation. And if they are plac-
ed III a false position as to candi-
dates, who do not represent the
debt paying sentiment of the
party, they viii assert their indie
pendence by defeating those can
didates. No citizen who has at
heart the best interests of Ten
nessee can afford to vote for any
candidate for governor or for
the legislature, who is not ag-
gTessively honest. In this case
the party label signifies nothing.
There is a question of honesty or
dishonesty to be decided on its
merits. The issue is plain and
must be met squarely.
