A CHARLESTON COTTON MILL.

Many years ago cotton factory was built
in Charleston. Owing to lack of the prop.
er kind of labor, or to bad management, or
to general indifference, "the factory" Ian
guished and died, and it has become ghast-
Iy standing joke that the only cotton mill
ever started in Charleston was speedily con-
verted into an almshouse, which it is to this
day. But a change has come over the land.
The advantages Of cotton mills situated in
the midst Of the cotton region are so manifest
now that people wonder the. experiment was
not tried years and years ago. The project
Of building cotton factory in Charleston,
after much discussion, is about to be sub.
jected to practical test, and, in all human
probability, a portion Of the coming cotton
crop will be spun and woven in Charleston.
The Charleston Manufacturing Company,
chartered at the last session of the Legisla.
ture, opened its books of subscription on
Thursday last, the 9th ultimo, and expect to
have cotton mill in operation within twelve
months from that date. The names attached
to the prospectus are sufficient guarantee of
the earnestness of the project
1t is proposed to raise a capital of $780,
900, which is to be used in the building and
establishment in Charleston of factory for
the manufacture of cotton goods and yarns,
and possibly the manufacture of cotton spool
thread The present idea is to take up first
the manufacture of homespun drills and cot
ton checks. The building will be construct
ed on the most approved plan and will be
furnished with the latest improvements in
machinery.
The mill will be run by steam, and will
have capacity of from 10000 to $1,000
spindles, furnishing employment to from 500
to 700 persons, chiefly women and girls and
boys, who now have few means of employ
ment. That the experiment will be success.
full and remunerative to the stockholders
scarcely admits of doubt The Charleston
Baggng Factory, which started two years
ago, is now one Of the best paying invest
ments in the city, the stock being quoted at
$l40 share within two years after the com.
mencement of the work.
The books of subscription, as has been sta
ted were opened on Thursday last, and as
soon as the capital stock has been subscribed,
the Charleston Manufacturing Company will
be organized, and the work of building and
equipping the factory commenced at once.
The enterprise promises to be successful, and,
before the last bale of the cotton crop of
1881 80 reaches Charleston, the music Of the
spindle, it is hoped, will be heard in the air,
and dawn of bright and prosperous fu.
ture, which is now upon US, will have bright
ened into the full light Of day.-Neps and

ssting of the Governor, Chief Justice, and
Secretary of State. Their return to be made
to the Speaker of the House, and to be con-
elusive proof of the result The votes are to
be counted by Congress in joint convention,

temporarily laid on the table-Mr Wallace
stating that be would at future time ask to
submit remarks upon it. In executive session
the Senate rejected the nomination of Robert
M. Wallace to be United States Marshal of

In the House, the committee on printing
reported a joint resolution, which was passed.
for the printing of $4,000 copies of the spe-
cial report of the commissioner of agricul'
ture, relative to the diseases of swine and
other domestic animals. The remainder of
the session was occupied with the private cal
endar.
In the Senate on the 29th, Mr.. Edmunds
submitted resolution. which was adopted
without dissent, instructing the judiciary
committee to inquire and report its opinion
touching the constitutional legality of the
votes of any electoral college given for Presl'
dent and Vice President of the United States
on the day for the counting of votes of elec'
tors in all the States. Mr.. Lamar presented
the credentials of james T. George, Senator
elect from Mississippi, as successor of Senator
Bruce, for the term beginning March 4, 1881,
Mr.. Ingalls, called up his electoral count res
oution for the counting of the vote in the
Senate chamber. On motion of Mr.. Bayard
after lengthy discussion, it was referred to
committee on the electoral Count, by par
ty vote-29 to II. The Indian Land in Sew
crafty bill came up as the regular order and
occupied the remainder of the day, and al
43O the Senate adjourned.
The session of the House was occupied
with the contested case from North Carroll
na-Yeates vs.. Martin-whch, by a vote Of
115 to 103, was decided in favor of Mr.
Yeates, Democrat, and that gentleman ap
peared and took the oath Of Office.
