and the demand for the "Tropic" cook
stove, "Planter's Pride" plows, Farrar tur-
bine water wheel and different kinds of hol-
low-ware is SO great that the foundry is run
to its full capacity to keep up with the Or
ders and even them the orders accumulate.
They employ 33 hands and their pay roll for
material and labor amounts to $4,000 per
month. A 35 horse power engine and 10
lathes are kept in constant operation and the
material used will amount to 400 tons year.
The building is 250x7S feet and they employ
a capital Of $4,000; the hands are paid
from 75c to $3.50 day, making the average
about $40 per month. When the {. +. < [:
V. r. r., is completed this foundry can get
coal and iron more easily and abundantly
and will, we hope, be enabled to double
their force and productive capacity.
MORMONISM IN THE SOUTH.
Our only Mormon exchange, the Southern
Uonian, published at Beaver City, Utah,
contains, in its issue Of the 18th instant, the
following letter from South Carolina, under
date of Gaffney City, April 3Oth:
Editor UOnidn: n:-DOubtless many of my
friends in Beaver county would like to hear
of my labOrs in South Carolina, and would
herewith present a few brief scattering
items concerning my experience as Nor
mon Missionary" in theSodth. Iwould say
in the first place with the exception of a pc
riod of ten weeks lastfall during which
was prostrated by " severe attack of mala-
rial fever, | have enjoyed fair state OF
health. Opposition to our preaching has
been prominent and disagreeable feature
of our labOrs, yet it only Whets up the men,
tai appetite of the "honest in heart" for we
seem to be enabled thereby to keep adding a
few to the fold of Christ.
! have done considerable travelling this
last winter, and in company with Elder An
gus Mckay, l have lately made an extend
ed trip through the south eastern part OF
York county and the adjoining county OF
Chester, our object being to open up new
places, but | regret to say that we met with
| but little success. We have baptized five
persons, however, since Christmas time, and
| the prospects are good for the addition
of few more before many days, in the
northern part of York and Cleveland cOun'
ties. had an appointment to preach at q
place in Cleveland county, n. c., on the 18th
inst, but had no sooner opened meeting
than it was discovered that an adjoining
house occupied by the family of a worthy
man who has joined the church, was on fire
Our combined efforts to eXtinguish the
flames were futile and the entire structure
with its contents was soon in ashes. There
is ample evidencet that the confagration was
the work an incendiary, a relative of the
parties living in the house. This was Sc
rious loss to myself and companion, for Oul
valises, clothing, umbrellas ETC., were con
sumed, and we were forced to the necessity
Of travelling back to headquarters in York
to get a new supply
Other incidents of like nature illustra
ting bigoted and narroW-minded opposition
with which we are frequently confronted in
our labors are but repetition Of our expe.
rience in other localities yet can say that
everything is prosperous and the Gospel tri'
umphant. Yours in the Covenant,
