ten whole columns of small typo to an
extended end minute description of

embracing valuable Information on the
subject Of cotton manufacture in the State
and the South. The report Is full of iute-
rest and furnishes information of this great
branch of industry in South Carolina
never before published. We hope the
report will awaken new life amongst our
business men and capitalists, aud give fresh
courage to those who are now engaged in
cotton manufacture as we'll as those who
contemplate embarkiug in the business.

These results briefly stated ore: That
there are in South Carolina seventeen
factories, (not including the Westminster
Clement Attachment MILL engaged in tho
production of cotton yarns aud cloths,
These factories have 95,43S spindlcs With
1888 looms in operation. They produce
lol 1888 yards of cloth and 16, 1873 pounds Of
yarn for eoch working day, consuming for
such day 54,O49 pounds Of cotton. They
employ 2,296 operatives, who in turn sup
port 7,0l3 persons who are dependent upon
them, tho monthly pay rolls being over
S38 900. The capital employed In these
mills amount to s2,88S, 900, and thoy are
estimated to be worth to day $2,S44,6
Inc profits range from eighteen to fifty per
cent cent por annum upon the capital invt ,ted.
Iiils nifty per cent. is tho return from the
Westmioster Factory, the well known home
OF the "Clemcnt Attachment" At the

A Revised Bible.

The revision Of the English Biblo un-
dcrtnkcn by the Convocat;on of Canterbury
England, 10 1870. has now so far proceeded
that the revised New Testament will be
copyrighted this autumn. In two or three
years more the Old Testament will be COM
pleted, and few years later tho Apocrypha
will be ready for tho press. Tho revision is
in the hands of a commission of clergymen
and scholars, representing different Protest
ant denominations, and this English board
submits its work as it progresses to u similar
commission in the United Safes for criticism,
and suggestion.
On Sunday evening, the Rev. DR.. Schaf,
q mombcr of the American advisory CON-
mission, gave history Of the origin of The
movement of the revision of the Bible, and
explained the principles ON which tho re-
vision is conducted. 1t is not to be q new
version of tho Scriptures Tho idiom and
vocabulary of tho King JAMES Version.
which we now use, and the text of which
IN tho two centuries aud half, and moro,
OF its existence has come to have sacred
character in the minds Of so many millions
of people, will be carefully retained. The
new Bible will not be modern book in it's
garb of language, but will retain the verbal
peouiarties and the forms of expression Of
1911, when tho present authorized Version
was made. Ouly such changes will be
allowed ns seem necessary in the view of
tho revlsers to bring out moro literally and
clearly the meaning of tho original tczts.
No board Of revision could expect the
oountenaneo of English speaking Christians
If they failed to adopt such conservative
policy, and to carry it out with the greatest
caution, and even timidity. Our English
Bible as it exists md as it has existed
during the period of the development Of
English literature, has become an English
book with an individuality Of its own, o
work whose favor would not be recognized
IT the ancient texts wero translated anew
with the aid Of tho vaetly larger vocabulary

iear. InOugh " was undertaken with 30
careful regard for tho, prcjudices of those
who can recognize what they believe to be
inspiration only in tho familiar language of
the existing version, it already finds resolute
opponents among the dovout readers of the
hing James Bible. Bishop Coke Of West
ern New York is one of these, and many
o.hets resent tho idea of altering that
version, even in tho direction Of palpable
Improvement only, as little less than a
sacrilcgo.
When very partia. revision of tho
standard Bible was made for tho American
Bible Society, years ago, it was smothered
by its opponents, and now both that society
and tho British and Foreign Bible Society,
the two greatest organizations in the world
for the dissemination Of the Scriptures, are
lending 10 aid to the Canterbury revision.
Dr: SONAR says they take great interest in
It, however; and though they are now lin
ited by their constitutions to the production
and circulation of the King Jatnes, version
no hopes to SEQ their constitutions SO
changed as to enable them to distribute the
amended Bible along with the Authorized
Version. But suoh n change can never
take place without sharp and protractcd
controversy.
1t Is easy to forecast the arguments which
will be used against it, and, from the point
OF view of those who will use them aud of
those to whom they may be addressed, they
cannot fail to have force. A now Biblo, It
will be urged, with tho provocatiou to criti.
cism of the old it will produce, must tend
to diminish the sanctity Of that sacred vol
une. The Bible will come to be regarded
and weighed like any other book, as the
skeptlos now wish it to be estimated, aud
with competing al varying version, the
Scriptures will gradually lose that place
in the veueration of men to which standard
and unaltered edition has helped to elevate
them. The seven leading Bible societies of
the world have already circulated over 1885,.
OOO,OOO Bibles, aud here will be put forth
q new Bible which will cast doubt on the
accuracy of all that vast supply of the
Scriptures which has been scattered as the
unalterablc Word of God.
Such arguments as these will undoubtedly
be used. Yet the new revision is rapidly
proceeding to completion, aud if it is faith
tul to the originals, and honestly made with
oil the new light modern philology aud his
torlcal Investigation have thrown on the
sacred texts, its variations from tho render
Ing of our existing version must be many
and important. Itmust not omit as utterly
spurious passages which are held in loving
yene ration, and vindicute others about whose
authenticity there is strong aud reasonable
doubt. For not ouly has our knowledge of
tho original tongues in which tho Scriptures
were written greatly increased siuoe the
n fia koon
VIC have also purcr texts, and food of
light hog been poured during that timo
on tho ancient manuscripts.
Still, the revised Bible is now an assured
fact, and when it comes wo shall doubtless
have an experience of Biblical criticism
which will do good.--Ncw York. San.
