THE NECESSITY FOR MANUFACTURERS

No community can now become lead
ing business center upon its agricultural
trade alone. Years ago, before he build
ing Of railroads all over the country,
certain towns aud cities occupying favor
able natural positions commanded the
trade Of whole sections, because no one
around them could compete but now you
find in every twenty miles or SO thriving
business villages, which have the same
advantages of cheap freights us are now
possessed by places which formerly en-
joyed almost u monopoly of trade. In
der these circumstances, the tendency is
pretty well established for planters to
trade at their nearest mark cts where there
is no other feature than that merely Of
commercial stores. Therefore, the race
between business men now is not so much
to undersell their neighborng compe-
ttors, (because goods are very nearly Of
the same price in all surrounding mar
kets) as 10 offer inducements which other
points do not possess. Hence, the atten-
tion of sagacous business men all over
the country is being directed to the dc.
yelopment Of various forms of manufac-
turing, which build up population and
attract trade. In no other way can any
point expect to attain any marked prom
inence as business center now. This
is not even the r',st important feature of
the tendency of the present age. Those
points which do not pn5se5s The a:.Fac-
tions offered by manufacturing centers
are being, and will continue to be, made
in "A greater or less degree tributary to
the manufacturing towns. II is the same
old analogy of business to nature, which
is ever asserting that there is no such
thing MS Standing still Those who do
not advance will surely recede. The
town or city which is not building up it's
trade is certainly retrograding, and Civ
ing place to its more sagacious or pro-
gressive neighbors. In the light ofthesc
facts, Anderson's new enterprises should
be greatly stimulated. We now have a
Building and Loan Association assured
our Savannah Valley railroad is well
progressed, and only requires little
public spirited zeal TO push it to compile.
tion; and there is Il rapidly growing
probability that large cotton factory
will soon be started here. If our people
will push these organizations t. a sue.
cessful termination, the future o. Ander.
son is assured beyond doubt. With
these additions to our present large busi
ness, our population will be largely in
creased, our prosperity greatly augment
ed, so that from time to time new facto
ries will be started, and the work of dc
velopment carried on to degree of pros
perity not now thought Of There is II,
reason why Anderson should no. be th,
second city in South Carolina. We hav,
advantages which, if properly an,
promptly utilized, Will make us so.

DutterwOrth's Lies.

A Washington special to the New
York Times says: "fhe Hon. Benjamin
Butterworth, who is engaged by the Gov
ernment to prosecute the perpetrators of
frauds in the elections in South Carolina,
said Inst Sunday, on his way home from
South Carolina, that the Federal author
ity is only respected in that State for the
power behind 1t. The officers of the
United States, be represents, sneak
through the back streets of Columbia on
the way to their business. The repre-.
sentatives of the Government are always
hat in hand, so to speak, before the peo.
pie of South Carolina, and when they
desire to assert the rights of United
States citizens before the courts they do
it in way deferential to The hostile at;i-
tude of the enemies of a free and fair
ballot. He obtained the impression that
about all there waa Of the United States
in South Carolina was the pile in Coium-
6ia called the Government building"

4 Mystery.
The Chattanooga Times saws :

lhe Chattanooga 1im's says:
"The mysterious house-stoning on
Ninth Street continues, and is creating
considerable excitement in that vicinity.
1t began Monday night and has contin
ued every night. 7. S. Wilcox and G.
w. Norman were the principal sufferers,
and many panes were broken in their
houses by the stones which were con-
stantly thrown against them. The ston-
ing grew 30 serious Friday night that
they had to remove their families.
The houses are watched every nigh,
and pistols and guns fred whenever a
stone is thrown, but this has failed to
frighten tho cuiprits. The most thor
ough search has been made for them, but
it has proven entirely fruitless. The
police are aiding in watching the houses.
Last night, while crowd surrounded
them, the stoning began again, but its
source remains deep mystery.
"A reward of 500 is offered for the
apprehension Of the perpetrators of this
foul outrage"

affected Furman University less than
any other denominational institution in
the State. While Wofford College, at

off of students of SO per cent. since the
opening at Columbia, Furman reports an

1t is, however, doubtful if they will be
able to do this. In South Carolina they
will be entitled to twenty five delegates.
