the crumbs from herapron and reached

The PeIzer Manufacturing Compa-
ny who propose to build a cotton
factory on Saluda River, near
Williamson, have opened books of
subscription. The capital stock is to
be 100000, and within a short timo
after the books were opened, 100000
of the amount was taken. The other
100000 will be raised without any
trouble. This is evidence that there
is plenty of capital in our State to
build manufactures, and that it will
be freely invested where an honest
effort is made to obtain it. This is

Raising WatermelOns.

Cassius n. Clay, of Kentucky, furnishes
q short article on watermelons. dc re-
marks that "of all fruits of all climes,
most esteem the watermelon" He adds
that when springs are low and water is i'm
pure, this fruit is a sufficient and exceed l.
ingly wholesome drink when SO many
visitors few years ago to the Centennial
became sick by drinking tho impure water
there, all who bought slice of watermelon
whenever they wished to allay thirst, re-
NAMED perfectly we'll. Mr.. Clay says, on
the subject of soil and culture, that two
good crops can never be taken from the
same land in succession; that any good
corn land will raise them that old manure
only should be applied that they should
be planted at distances Of 10 by 10 feet
each way; the hills a foot deep, four
inches high, and three feet square remove
all weeds, but do not touch or move vines:
striped bugs are caught under shingles on
cool nights thin to two plants for each
hill. The ripcness may DO known by
humping the melons with the finger nail,
when the dull sound, confined to the rind,
willshow that the melon is ripe. They
may be kept till November, or even till jan
uary, but are best when fresh. To eat
them, cut the long axis into equal halves,
furnish each guest with one-half and a
silver spoon, and all will thus have some
of the best part or the core. No careless
person should be admitted to the grounds,
as vine is spoiled by being trodden upon.

An Old Maids society is one of the insti-
buttons of Lancaster county, and contem-
porary in noticing the last meeting Of this
organization says the members enjoyed a
delightful time. We see no good reason
why the ancient maidens should not have
ga delightful time," if they so desire, as
we'll rs anybody else. 1t is an honorable
thing to be an old maid, and an association
of such persons must he just lovely. They
are not annoyed by babies drunken hus-
bands do not disturb the serenity Of their
lives, and if they are affected with ycarn-
ing for pets, why cats and CANNES are suf-
ficiently numerous enough to be cheap.
Some of the best women the world has
ever had belonged to that class known as
old maids. They have been the theme of
eloquent speeches, essays and sermons,
and have invariably deserved all tho good
things said of them. 1t would be bad for
the world if all its old maids should die or
get married suddenly.

INTELLIGENCER, wants a law enacted re-
quiring the judges whose decisions are re
vised by the supreme court to pay the
costs of appeal. This would be rough Oh
the Judges but it would have the effect of
preventing incompetent men from aspir-
ing to such responsible positions.
