In nearly all the other branches
of industry, continues our contem-
porary, the same progress is shown.
The cotton manufacturing interest is
exhibiting a wonderful power of ex-
pansion. The population is increas-
ing. Some Of the cities and towns
are showing growths that are really
astonishing. In fact, the South at
present, so for as material improve
ment is concerned, is belying all the
charges made against her on the
score of a lack of desire to labor
and of tendency to a more pros
perons condition of things.

A Scheme Of the Clydes.

AUGUSTA, June 1.-Col. A. c. Haskell
president of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, has been here all day in
conference with President Verdery, of the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, and with
the mayor of the city, the object of his visit
being to obtain control of the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad, and this, it has trans
pired, he is in fair way to accomplish.
He proposes to the city to take the latters
stock, which is very nearly controlling
interest, and in return will guarantee the
immediate completion of the road to Green
wood and the building of q through line to
Knoxville via Elberton, Ga. Toccoa City
and Rabun Gap within three years, giving
the city an equal amount of stock in the
new line. He will give the city a bond of
$4,000 for the faithful performance of
these measures and begin work at once if
the agree lent is perfected.
At q meeting of the City Council this
afternoon the proposition was discussed
and met with general approval. There is
no doubt that the arrangement will be cor,
summated, provided, the requisite bond is
given. This is looked upon here as a
movement on the part of the Clyde Syndi.
cate to keep out the Baltimore aud Ohio,
which is expected to reach Augusta via the
North Carolina Midland, Spartanburg and
Greenwood. Mr.. Haskell endeavored to-
day to purchase from private parties
enough stock to make controlling interest
with that owned by the city, and it is be-
ieyed that he succeeded. Tho carrying
out of this agreement ensures Augusta
another Western connection.

The Governor on last Wednesday ap-
pointed Col. James L. Orr, formerly of
Anderson, but now an attorney of the
Greenville bar, Solicitor of the Eighth
Circuit, to succeed Judge Cothran. Col.
Orr is an attorney of ability and vigor,
who will discharge the duties of the i'm
portant Office to which he has been
appointed in an efficient and creditable
manner. Col. Orr for two terms repre-.
sented this County in the State Legisla
ture, and as member of the historic
Wallace House, made reputation and
formed attachments which have led to
his promotion. Although citizen OF
Greenville our people feel peculiar in
terest in him, because of his former resi-
dence here, and will always be grati6ed
at any success which may attend him in
life.

The Greenyille News of last Thurs

The Greenville News of last Thurs
day said: "The Daily Ne1ps announced q
few days ago that Maj. E. B. Murray, of
Anderson, would probably be appointed
Solicitor. While we are naturally
pleased that Greenville man should
have received the honor, we would have
been hardly less so had Maj. Murray
been as fortunate as general report at
Columbia represented him to be. Aside
from being most worthy representa-
tive of journalism in the State, he is a
man whose talents and position make
him we'll fit to occupy and adorn public
position. He has plenty of time bow
ever for the fulflment of whatever hon.
orable ambitions he may have. The op-
portunity to say this is seized with espe-
cial pleasure because we have frequently
differed with Maj. Murray on divers
questions, and because in the now some
what distant past we have under estima-
ted his abilities and motives.

The Cotton Exposition, which is to be
held in Atlanta, beginning on the third
Of October and ending in December,
promises to BIO such a success that its
directors have decided to extend the
scope Of the original enterprise, SO as to
make it in reality an Industrial Exposi-.
ton, and with this purpose in view ex-
hibits of the resources and products of
the Southern States are invited, and will
doubtless be contributed in large num-
bers. It is, therefore, important that
our State should be thoroughly repre-
sented in every department of her won-
derful resources, in order that her capa-
bilities in mineral, agricultural, mechan-
ical and manufacturing development
may be fully demonstrated to the thou
sands of visitors from every section Of
this country and Europe who will gather
in Atlantis during that period. 1t will
be the best possible advertising medium
for our State, and a creditable exhibition
from South Carolina on this occasion will
do,moreito attract hither an immigration
of capital and worthy labor than. all of
the circulars, newspaper articles and
immigration agents in the State can do.
Realizing this. fact, Col. A. P. Butler,
our able and watchful Commissioner of
Agriculture, has taken active steps to
secure q full representation in the exhib-
its from this State, and has received very
gratifying assurance of cooperation from
the various counties. Specimens are
wanted of Wheat, Corn, Oats, Peas, Rye,
Barley, Cotton, Rice, Buckwheat, Flax,
Peanuts, Tobacco, Millet, Glover and
Grasses, Dried Fruit, Chufas, Molasses,
Wines, Woods, Minerals, Stone, any
agricultural or mechanical home manu-.
factures, birds and insects, and ''every.
thing that will show the wealth of tho
country" Among the articles specially
desired are, the largest pumpkin, gourd,
ear of corn, stalks Of corn, and cotton,
boil Of cotton, head of wheat, head OF
oats, exhibits of manufactured goods, and
in fact, everything that will display the
enterprise, skill, and natural advantages
Of the country. We are gratifed to see
such general interest, and trust that
while the various portions of the State
will be fully represented, that Anderson
county will not be behind any other
county. Our cottons are said to rank
exceptionally high, and should by all
means be exhibited in Atlanta. We
commend this subject to our various
Oranges as one worthy of their consid.
Grafton, and falling within their peculiar
province. The way to makea certainty
of the matter will be to arrange for the
exhibit while the crop is growing.
Work, gather and prepare it for exhibi.
ton, and it will show to the best adyan-
tage. He who goes to the trouble of
exhibiting the products of his county
at this Exposition will perform public
spirited act, for which he will be entitled
to the gratitude of his countrymen.

The applicants for the Solicitorship Of
the Eighth Circuit, made vacant by the
appointment of Judge Cothran to fill the
unexpired term of the late Judge Thom-
son, were Messrs. J. L. Orr, J. W. Gray,
NJ. F. Ansel, A. G. Darlington and
G. w. Furman, of Greenville; Mr.. E.
B. Gary, of Abbeville; Measrs. E. B.
Murray and B. F. Whitner, Of Ander-
son, and AIr. ]. s. Werner, Of Walhalla.
All of these gentlemen we're endorsed by
their friends, and as they were 80 numer-
GUS it was impossible for any one of them
to secure the endorsement of a majority
of the professional or political influences
of the Circuit. In this condition of the
canvass, the appointment was reduced
practically to matter of personal pref
erence on the part Of the Governor.

The Democrats of the Second District
have nominated Hon. Samuel Dibble, of
Orangeburg, as their candidate for Con-
gress to- succeed the late Hon. NJ. P.
O'Conner. The selection of Gen. Dibble
Is an excellent one, and his election will
give to the people of the State an able
and vigilant representative. The cleo
tion comes off to-day, and it is we'll
known that the Republicans intend vot-
ing for E. w. M. Mackey. Gen. Dibble
deserves success, and it would be a
strange exhibition if E. w. NJ. Mackey
can beat so good man. The colored
vote is largely in excess in this District,
but We trust there will be sufficient de-
lection in it to elect the Democratic can.

.ANpERsoN.s MINERAL WEALTH.


Prof. @. Fromm, an experienced min
eralogist who has resided in Anderson
fer the past two years, and has made
during that time numerous discoveries
ofsvaluable minerals, has consented to
collect for Col. a. P. Butler, Commits
sioner of. Agriculture for this State,
specimens Of the minerals of Anderson
County to be exhibited at the. Atlanta
Exposition this Fall. Any person hav-
ing ores ofany kind can have them exam.
ined without charge by bringing them to
Prof Fromm at this place, who will also
take. charge of specimens of minerals
from this County for the Exposition in
Atlanta. During his stay in Anderson
: he has found the following minerals
here: Copper, gold, galena, asbestos,
plumbago, epidote, corrundum, zircon,
amethyst, beryl, garnet, rutile, mica,
rock crystal, serpentine, manganese.
kaolin, granite. tourmalin, kyanite,
chalcedony, chrysolite and sumerhite.
In his opinion the following mines
would pay a good dividend upon the
necessary capital to operate them.
A mica mine, situated on the land of
Mr.. Samuel Whorton, in the Corner
township
a mine, of the came on the land of
Capt. Jas a. Gray, in the same town.
ship.
A mine. of eorrnndum and zircon, stu
sted on lands of Messrs. Ben Strickland
and John Kaufman, in Hall township.
Mines Of plumbago, situated on lands
OF Rev. Wilson Ashley and Mr.. john T.
Ashley, in Martin township.
These m::ies are said by Prof. Fromm
the most extensive and valuable
plumbago mines in the whole country.
He took from one of them solid lump
Of one hundred and forty pounds, and is
satisfied that lump of pure quality can
= - -
be taken out weighing from one thou
sand to ten thousand pounds. The vein
extends from fifty to one hundred feet in
thickness, and appears to be very rich.
He thinks there are other minerals in
the County with veins Of sufficient rich
ness to repay working, but as yet they
have not been sufficiently explored to
base an opinion upon their quality and
extent.
These are matters Of considerable inn
--portance to the county, and we hope
our citizens will render Prof Fromm
every assistance possible in his efforts to
make handsome collection for display
in Atlanta.
