A Lesson to the South.

In an interesting article upen the rates
of wages Of farm laborers in the different
States, in the last annual report of tine
United States Department of Agricul.
ture, it is shown that the influence
of manufactures upon agriculture is
very great, both in tho wages Of farm
labor and in the prices of farm products.
The rate Of farm wnges in Massachusetts,
the centre of manufacturing interests, is
higher than in any other State east of the
Rocky Mountains. In Ohio, which is
dotted over with thriving manufacturing
towns. the rate of farm wages is about
thirty per cent. higher than across the
dividing line in Kentucky, where manu-.
features are scarce. There is also a
marked difference in the several districts
of Ohio. The northern belt, which in.
cludes the thrifty manufacturing centres
Cleveland, Toledo, Canton, Wooster,
Mansfield aud other towns-and the acc.
ton including Cincinnati, Columbus,
&C., pay a much higher rate of farm
wages than in other districts where agri.
culture is more prominent. In Illinois
and other States the same thing is seen.
ln discussing this point the report says ::
wherever other industries flourish, and
the number of persons employed in agri-
culture are fewer than those engaged in
other occupations, it is found that the
wages of farm labor are higher than in
districts more exclusively agricultural /;
and statistics show, further, that the
prices Of farm products are also higher,
aud the gross aud net earnings Of the
farm proprietors are greater. Wherever,
from manufactures, mining or commerce,
the agricultural population is rela.
lively in smaller proportion to the whole
people, the law Of supply and demand
inevitably secures higher reward to
rural labor. It would be we'll to think
over the preceding statements.

A Flaming Sea or Fire.

CLEVELAND, O., February 4.-The
f)llowing are the details of the fire an
nounced last night: Early yesterday
morning the water Of email creek
called Kingsbury Run rose far beyond
its usual kaight and spread over hun.
5ieds Of acres Of low land, surrounding a
iesky petroleum still of the Standard
Oil Works, located q considerable dis
tance above the company's main works.
Escaping oil and refuse were swept down
the stream and carried under the boilers
of the great Western Oil Works which
were nearly submerged. The oil became
ignited aud floated to a tank containing
five thousand barrels Of crude petroleum,
which took fire and exploded, spreading
the blazing oil in all directions, some
being carried to Merriam & Morgar's 3
parephine works below, which were also
fired. Continuing down the stream the
flaming flood next attacked the tanks of
the Standard Oil Works, located in the
valley, ono after another, which took
iire. Five ten.thousand barrel tanks,
two five thousand barrel tanks, four
stills, one agitator, sn eng;ne.house, five
hundred feet of railway trestle and vari.
GUS small works were destroyed The
tanks were not all full. Not less than
fifty thousand barrels of oil were con.
sumed. The total loss by fire is a matter
of speculation. 1t is estimated at from
$780, 600 to $500, 900. The machinery
and stills were worth S27, ,0GO. Six steam
engines and three hook and ladder com.
panies worked,a all day and a largo force
of the department all night. The oil
must all burn when once it takes fire.
Throwing water on it only scatters it and
increases the danger. Tho firemen have
TO direct their efforts to prevent the fire
from spreading. They have been labor.

HOW lie LIVED.

HOW lie LIVED.
For several years Mr.. Vincent has
iycl in style of luxury entirely beyond
the capacity Of his salary, and the gen.
eral opinion has been that he had money
outside. 1t was currently believed, in
certain circles, that his money wa. made
by lucky Speculations in futures. but no
one seemed 10 suspicion that he had used
the states money in making his deals
on Change Only those with whom his
transactions were had knew that he had
met with heavy losses and covered them
promptly. Some months ago he pur-
chased house of modest pretcnsions in
appearance and cost, and it MAS reported
that he would pay for it in instalments.
lie furnished it handsomely, however,
ard has spent considerable money in the
way Of good living He has kept car.
riagc and a pair of horses. 1t seems
that in his first deals in futures he was
fortunate, and this gave ground for the
behcf that he WAS not dependent OH his
- 100 income. But his early successes
only whettcd his appetite, and he went
On from bad to worse until the announce
mcnt of the examining committee
showed him that at the next jump he
would hit bottom, and 40 he left, and the
Devil only knows where he is.
HOW HE FELL.
The cause of Vincent's defalcation was
undoubtedly speculation. Montgomery
has been famous for many years for It's
heavy spcculators in cotton. Few
Southern cities have handled futures in
larger Jumps or more constantly than
Montgomery. 1t is said that New York
brokers make more commissions out of
this than any other city. Large sums of
money, sent to Fred Wolfe, amounting
to more than 100000 supposed to he for
dealings in cotton, have been traced up.
and Vincent dealt also it is supposed
with other cotton houses. 1t is surmised
that lie may have loaned some, although
no evidence to that effect has been shown.
WHERE HE IS.
Nothing has been ascertained as to
Nincents whereabouts. a sorts Of ru-
mors arc aiioat Some think lie has
committed suicide.
SMITH TAKES vINCENT'S PLACE.
MONTGOMERY, February 2.-F. II.

Bills have been introduced, and are likely

The city Of Columbia has jus, com
petcd the purchase Of right Of way for
the Canal, and made deeds Of it to the
State under the conditions Of the last Act
for continuing the work upon it. The
cost to the city was $500. Under the
Act of 1881 the State could be held re-
sponsibIc for the purchase Of right Of
way, and last year did pay on, over
$4,000 on this account. by passing this
new Act, which has been 80 recklcssly
criticised, we take away the opportunity
for land owners to charge enormous
prices for the the right Of way because
the State is to pay for it. The city of
Columbia has secured the entire right Of
way remaining TO be obtained at the
figures stated, while the State would have
been charged much higher price, on
the principle that she is able to stand it..
The Canal would have gone on with one
hundred couvicts and ten thousand dol
lars year indefinitely, and the State
would have wasted in salaries, right OF
way, etc, over one hundred per cent.
more than these items will coat under
the present arrangement. The late act
is decidedly the most economical for the
State in the long run.

A BRIDE FOR A NIGHr.-A dispatch
from Halifax Court House, Va, dated
January 27, says: "Last night James
Guthrie, q prosperous young farmer was
married to Miss Hulda Martin. A large
company was present at the wedding,
which was solemnized at the residence OF
the brides father. Owing to bad wealth
c! the guests remained at the mansion
all night. This morning when they had
assembled at the breakfast table, il was
remarked that the bride and groom were
late in coming. Suddenly the shrieks of
woman were heard, and the startled
guests hastened into the hall, where they
met the bride of night, who cried !:
"My husband Oh, my husband r.
When she awoke this morning, she found
her husband dead by her side. She is
almost insane from grief"

The Clifton Manufacturing Company,
OF Spartapbn.s, has declared u dividend
Of seven per Gems. on the capital stock of
the company, after paying expenses for
the past six months work. This is al
excellent showing for IL new company,
and demonstrates the proiitabIencss Of
manufacturing in the South. The sue
cess Of the Carolina mills is attracting
the attention Of capitalists from abroad,
and numerous enquiries are coming to
our State looking for opportunities for
investment i'll manufacturing enterprises.
In ten years at the present rate Of dc.
velopment, South Carolina will rival the
New England States in manufacturing
interests. There is Io other industry
which will so rapidly add to the wealth
Of our State, and restore to us as quickly
our commercial! and material resources.
Every County in the State should have
az many factories az possible. They in
crease the price Of cotton and NIL kinds
Of provisions. They furnish employ
ment to 7omcn and children ut remu
nerative rates, and in every way add to
or prosperity. There are at leust twenty
desirable locations for factories in this
County, and some of our public spirited
men should turn their attention To or
ganizing companies to devclope them
It will pay our farmers to put their sur.
plus money in them. They can realize
from twelve to twenty per cent. on their
stock, besides building up a market a.
good prices for everything that is made
on the farm. Anderson, which is ahead
in most progressive enterprises, is far be.
hind in this, the most profitable Of all
material development. The prosperity
of our neighboring city, Greenvile, is
largely due to manufacturing growth
there. Aside from this, Anderson would
be considerably ahead of Greenville, but
with it, Grecnville has an assured pros.
perity which cannot be affected by crop
failures or drouths. She is not depend
ent upon agricultural prosperity entirely
for her business, and hence she is con.
siderably ahead of us in population an 4
business. She will stay SO until we imi.
