Our Home Mission Board is struggling
to have this important element in our
national and religious life brough, under
the influence of thoroughly evangelical
teaching, that from an element Of dan.
ger and destruction, it may be made one
Of potent influence for good. The Bap-
fists must meet the incoming German
hosts with an open Bible.
The Convention considered az it is in
reality, II missionary association, meet
ing to report on work done and to lay
plans for work to be done, was success.
The mission Boards, both Home and
Foreign, reported enlarged receipts,
additional laborers employed and new
fields occupied, while at the same time
older stations had been reinforced. The
reports from the mission fields were en-.
couraging, and the outlook for the future
seemed to have much Of cheer in it. If
/ mistake not, the Convention at Waco
stands near the dawn Of period of
greater activity in mission work than
has ever before been manifested by the
l'aptists of the South.
Many who have long felt an interest
in the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary will be glad to know that it
is i'll highly prosperous condition. DR..
l;roadus said that the Seminary had
been before two Conventions i'm Texas
once 1T Jefferson and now at Waco.
Both times it was ''in fix With this
difference. however: "Then it was in a
bad fix now it is in good one" 1t
is hoped that the full amount of the
endowment will soon be secured.
a long newspaper Article is US bad as
long speech. and lest [ be charged with
writing one such, will draw this to a
close. But Convention in Texas is a
large subject, and it is hard to know just
how to stop talking about it. The best
way to stop. however, is--to stop.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
Of the 22nd of May inst, pays COM

completely equipped cotton mills in the
South, under the head of "The Pelzer
Standard Cottons," in which it says:

THE ADVANTAGES OF roLEnAr1oN.

It strikes US that the Democratic press
is not discussing the tariff question with
as much good temper as should be pre-
served. We do not at all like the ten
dency, which some of our contempora.
ries evince, to read man out Of tho
Democratic party because he may have
divergent views upon tariff questions.
There are other questions of great polit-
ical concern to the whole country which
divide the two parties, and it is bad In
policy, and not wise in practice, to drive
of men who may agree with you in other
respects because they do not accord with
your views upon single question out Of
several important matters. We favor
retaining all Democrats who are willing
to submit their views to the party for
action, and we think that al who favor
lower tariff can safely assume this lib.
eral policy in dealing with Democrats
who may favor high tariff. There can
be no doubt that upon full, fair and
free discussion of the revenue system of
our government large majority of the
Democratic party will declare in favor of
reduction of the burdens Of taxation
in the interest of the people to the low.
est point consistent with the efficiency of
the public service, and to accomplish
this end, the tariff ought to be reduced
to the lowest figure which will raise the
necessary sum Of money. The Demo.
cratic party is obliged to adopt tho prin.
ciple of tariff for revenue only, aud If
there are men who are willing to act
with US in the election Of Federal officers
who favor tariff for protection, we
should not refuse to permit them to help
us. It is always unfortunate for any
dissension TO arise as to the policy of
political party, but nothing is more fre-
quent or more difficult to manage than
the occurrence of just such divisions rs
now exist within our ranks as to the
tariff. In such an emergency, the. utter
most care should be taken on all sides to
give as little offense as possible In tie
discussion of the matter. We are now
on the heela of q presidential election,
with the fairest prospects of success.
Nothing but Democratic dissension or
Democratic folly appears 70 obstruct an
easy victory. Ia this situation We ought
by ell ineans to conciliate, rather than
10 arouse .antagonisms. BY this We do
not mean that any faction Of the party
ought either 70 give up It's views as to
Tho tariff; or 10 suppress those yisws-l

ANOTHER PAYING COTTON MILL.

a correspondent OF the .Nr"s and
Courier, writing from the Clifton Cotton
Mills, in Spartanburg County, speaks
thus Of the annual meeting OF the stock
holders of that mill, which was held on
the Sth inst
The directors held their meeting in the
morning, and II was satisfactory tn I'll!
They declared n dividend OF four per
cent. This makes the second dividend
paid to the stockholders of this com pany
out of their earnings. Of course this
represents only about one-fourth OF tho
net earnings for the past year. They
showed the profits to be ut tho Inte Of lG
per cent. on tho capital actually invested
and at work. This, whilo 1t seems to he
loss, is as much gs the profits Of tho
Piedmont Mill, for IL has at actual work
500, 600, S200, 900 more than Clifton Mill,
whereas hor profits wcro declared upOIi
their capital stock OF S50OOG0 This pro-
portion will make tho two mills about
even and both ahead OF Graniteville.
We give these points simply to show
that the Clifton is abreast of any mill in
tho country. The gentlcmon attending
tho meeting from abroad declared them
selves very positively that the property
Is ono OF the finest anywhere III the
South. 1t was IL disappointment to tho
managers that more OF the stockholders
from Charleston were not present to see
for themselves the improvements in this
mill and property. The president, Mr..
ID. T.. Converse. and treasurer, MIR. A.
II. Twichsll, rs well as the superinten-
dent Of the mill and his assistants, were
ull highly commended for their disinter-
ested endeavors to make tho roturn to
the owners of the mill satisfactory.
1t will be seen from this that it Is
nothing unusual for cotton mills in South
Carolina to make very handsome divi-
dends.
The projected Factory at Anderson is
progressing slowly, though the stock has
not been taken 80 rapidly as was hoped
for, though about forty per cent. of the
sum necessary to raise at home has been
subscribed. The failure to raise the
stock more rapidly has been caused, we
think, in large measure, by fears thai
the unusual season will cause disaster
to our crops this year. AS soon rs the
weather becomes settled and the spirits
of our planters are raised by the indica.
tions of good crop. we have no doubt
the remaining capital stock will be
quickly raised. The Factory at Ander
son is, We think, M assured fact. 1t it
only question of little time. The
success of Grunitevile, Piedmont, Cliff
ton and other factories in our State ought
10 convince men that there is money ir
manufacturing for the stockholders, ant
very great benefits for the whole commu
munity in which the factory is started
The subscription list for the Anderson
factory is at the National Bank, ant
persons wishing to take stock can do sc
by calling there. Every man for miles
around Anderson ought to take some
stock, even if it is only one hundred dol
lara. The stockholders will not only
| get good interest on their money, but
they will be building m their market and
trading point. 1t will pay handsomely
in various ways to have large factory
at Anderson.

Senator Joe Browns Income,

Major Ben Crane, talking to an Ala.
bama street crowd the other day, asked :
"What do you think Joe Browns daily
income amounts to? 7"
Some one suggested that his salaries
amounted to $l2,5CO year-S7, 900 as
President of the State Road, $500 az
Senator, and noted that this was $35 q
day.
Some one else added that his rents on
$4,000 of Atlanta property amounted
to $24, 900, putting the income at per
cent. This is $40 day, which, added
to his salaries, made over 800 day.
Major Crane stopped this slow specu.
lation with the remark: "His income is
not less than 81 900 day as have been
informed by gentleman who had the
best opportunities for knowing what he
was talking about. This gentleman told
me the Senator YVES turning out fifty tons
of iron day at his Rising Fawn Works.
on which he had clear profit of $40 a
day. In Barlow county he has broad
guage railroad Is miles long running to
his ore beds, where he has some hun.
dreds of men getting out ore. At his
coal mines in Dade county, he has sew.
eral hundred convicts at work. He digs
his iron ore, smelta 1t at his own furnace
and mines the coal he does it with. At
the furnace alone, his profits are said to
be $500 day. At the coal and iron
mines they must large. So l have no
doubt but my informant was within the
bounds when he said Governor Browns
income was one thousand dollars day.
If so, he has the largest income of any
Southerner."
An ;ncoma If 81 mn n aov r,oa,o
S3l2, 900 year. This added to for
tune already immense, would, when in.
vested, add perhaps $25, to the in.
come of the next year. And few years
of compounding this enormous amount
with Senator Browne sagacity will make
q huge fortune. No accoun. in this es.
innate is taken of the increase in value
of Senator Browns property, which in
bis Texas lands has been remarkable.
After talking the matter over the opinion
was general that she Senator is now
worth not less than $4,000, 900, and per.
haps much more atlanta Constitution.
