The Cotton Factory.

It is n matter of encouragement to
see that the people of Orangebur r g
have taken the initiatory steps in the
matter of cotton factory. a con.
siderable amount in money and cotton n
was subscribed at the last meeting of
the Agricultural Society for the pur-
pose, and the following Committee
appointed to carry the enterprise
out:
Harpin Riggs, T II Zimmerman,
w P Hadley, James Stokes, w A
Mackey, Dt. j G Holman, Hon. M j
Keller, Jude Robinsen, w w Cutler
and W L Muller.
1t is likely that tho next step will
be the cllling of meeting of tho
people to consummate arranccm cnts.
At this meeting every citizen, outside
OF his own pecuniary interest, who
cares tor the welfare of Orapgoburg,
ough. to be present. We especially y
expect the men who control the
capital of Orangeburg to come out
1t don't do to say that the people OF
'Orangeburg are too poor. This is
the way to make them rich. Besides,
il the days Of orr greatest poverty,
during Eadical asccndcncy, the peo-
pie OF Olangehurg had $4,000
deposited i'll the Savings Bank. Now
1t is evident that we arc worth three
t,mcs as much at this time. If we
laid aside sS0,0)O tl,cp, we can
easily lay aside s25O,O0O now. How
easy then will it be for us to invest
$4,000 i'll cotton factory which is
certain to pay from 30 to 80 per cent
on the investment.
We expect all to cooperate in this
enterprise,

The I.ylRcIling.

Lynch law is always dangerous and
when tits too observation-disclosures
ed may lead to great wrongs. But
there are crimes which seem to be t, O
heinous to await the slow processes Of
the Courts, with the chances of escape
through false sense of pity, or
through the technicalitics ut which
lawyers leap. The qualification Of
brutal lust upon innocent victims
comes under this class, aud rs such
the action Of the citizens Of Georges

demned. The perpetrators of such

cratic party made an egregious blum :
der in being decoyed by Republi-
cans into killing Mr.. Tilden. The
greatest wrong ever perpct rated in q
so-called free government was the
fraudulent seating Of Mr.. Hayes in
the Presidential Chair, and had this
wrong been kept before the people

have been no better issue on which to
enter into the coming campaign, with

The Hope of the South.

The hope of the South consists in
the building up Of lis material intc-
rests. AS long as NC devote our
selves altogether to agriculture we
will be poor. We must combine
manufacture with agriculture if VIC
wish TO prosper. To make our cotton
and then pay to the North all it's
proceeds for clothing and wares is
suicidal. We must put up our fac
tories, and Railroads and immigrants
will be sure to follow. We have
better soil and a better climate than
the North, and why are we not MS
prosperous. 1t is because ali our
money goes there to buy mamuf:,c-
turel articles? When we realize this
truth the South will c,mm4nc, to
grow and get rs rich and prosperous
as any section Of the Union.

necessary. The idea that the majority
rule would give the South more pow.
er, and enable her to dictate the can.
didate, we think has little weight,
because we think that, even if the
South had this power, she ought not
to use it. Such dictation would give
the candidate sectional character,
which would weaken him matcriu lly.

The Elements.

The temperature here at sunrise
marked 81 degrees, the coolest point
south of the Ohio, except Louisville,
where it stood at "a. The range
between the Ohio and the gulf
is from "a to so degrees. The range
here yesterday was from 65 to Y.
Fresh, northerly winds, veering to-
ward the east, are predicted for to-
day, and rains are probable in the
Ohio, lower Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valley; also in the New Eng
land and middle states, where rains
are so much needed. The signal SER
vice bulletins are the sources from
which this information is derived.
During the month Of May we had
1882 one huudredths inches of rain
fall on eight days between the Goth
and 3lst. The heaviest rain was on
the 21st, when the measurement was
1893 inches. The temperature during
the month ranged between 40 and 81,
a variation Of 46 degrees. The great
est oscillation in "a hours was "a de-
grees, and this range occurred on the
9th, 9Th and 10th, during the long
rainless period of over three weeks.
A slight frost appeared on the morn
ing of the LIST. We had Is clear and
10 fair days during the month, and
the wind travelled 1854 miles, the
prevailing direction being from the
southeast. The signal service mete.
geological summary, issued for the
benefit of commerce and agriculture
contains the foregoing statistics.

Alexander II. stephens for Gran,

A Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says:
There are a great many queer things
about the Grant movement, but the
queerest of all is the fact that the ex-
vice president of the Southern Con-
~federacy is using all his influence to
secure the nomination this week of
the e%x-president of the United States.
Alexander Stephens has long had high
admiration for Grant, and he has gone
so far within the last day or two
as to urge upon hesitating colored
delecates from his own state to Chi
cago, who have stopped over here
on their way to the convention
and have called upon him, that the
best thing they can do is to drop
Sherman and Blaine and 90 in for the
ex-president. Mr.. Stephens processes
to regard Grant as the strongest san
didate the republicans could nomi-
nate. He explains the anomaly of
his advocating the choice by his op-
pOnents of their strongest champion.
by saying that the democrats are like
ly to throw away their chances by
nominating Tilden, or somebody el,Se
who can't be elected, and he t.oere.
fore wants to have the repubIican
candidate a mar in whose hands he
would consider the future of the coun.
try safe.

Another Pamphlet that Fore
bodies Trouble.

SAN Francisco. May 31.-ThoA Alta
Of Saturday morning publishes the
following: For some days past there
has been a town rumor that a most
stirring pamphlet is about to issue,
giving Mayor Kalloch's history from
the date of his expulsion from col
lege until now. The rumor has it
that MI. VIM. NJ. Nelson, the we'll.
known journalist, is the author of the
coming brochure. Mayor Kalloch
addressed a note to Nelson, warning
him not to circulate it, but Nelson
replied in vigorous terms, telling Kali
loch if he did not like it to "pick
your flint and fire again." The fol-
lowing is an extract from Nelson's
letter:
"Chief magistrate of the city, what
are you going to do to prevent a mar
doing what he lawfully may? You
will recollect that the constitution
you swore to maintain provides that
every person may speak, write and
publish his sentiments upon all sub
jects, being responsible therefor not ia
you, but to the law. What are YOU
going to do about it2 Do you propose
to send your second son on an errand
Of mercy? Don't. Come yourself"
The pamphlet made its appearance
yesterday, and was bought up like hot
cakes. 1t contains 128 pages, devoted
to Kalloch's career in Massachusetts.
Kansas and this State, written up in a
searching manner.
