Cotton Mills In the State.

The president and advisory board with
the committee or subscriptions of the
Darlington Manufacturing Company
met Monday. The Committee on sub.
scriptions reported $4,000 subscribed,
and that they did not propose to relax
their efforts until they had raised at least
$l5O,000. The advisory board, with q
majority of tho stockholders, have ap.
piled to the clerk of Court for a charter
under the name of the Darlington Man
ufacturing Company.
A gratifying fact in connection with
the Newberry cotton mills is that only
10000 of the 1857 900 of capital etock
comes !sGfh outside the State or the
Sl37 900 raised in the State only $4,000
comea from outside Newbsrry County,
viz, Us, 900 from Columbia, $2,50O from
Abbeville, $4,000 from Charleston and
81 500 from Greenville. OF the @l27, 900
raised in the County, $4,000 comes
from tho town Of Newberry.
President Mcclure, the president of
the Bank OF Chester, who is interested
in the organization Of q cotton manufac.
turing company at Cherokee Ford, on
the Broad River, Union County, is very
much encouraged In regard to the cue.
cess Of the project. The idea iB to util-
ize the site of the old Magnetic Iron
Works ut the point named. The situa-
ton is splendid one and the water
power Is practically Unlimited, and q
good Judge has expressed the opinion
that there is force to run every spindle
in the State. A good deal of the money
has already been subscribed, and it Is
thought that the scheme will coon take
practical shape. The charter he's been
obtained, and 1t is understood that the
new mill is to be dubbed the Magnetic
Manufacturing Company"

The Chattanooga Times estimates the
New York Herald at 81, 600, 900, and the
profit 60 per cent. 1t adds: Consider.

THE ANDERSON FACTORY.

The movement for the establishment
of a cotton factory at Anderson has at
last taken shape, and we have no doubt
that within thirty days the capital stock,
which it is proposed to place at mini
mum of one hundred thousand dollars,
will have been subscribed, and the com
pany be ready to organize and begin the
work of erecting tn. buildings before
the Summer is over. Col. J. y. Brown
is in charge Of the subscription list,
which will be kept at the Anderson
National Bank, and his recognized
Judgment and financial ability ensures
the easy raising of the sum nee y
10 begin work This is the most import
ant enterprise that could possibly be
undertaken in Anderson, and will return
more benefits to the city and surround
ing country than our people can at frat
imagine 1t will increase our popula.
ton, will increase the size Of our city,
and will add greatly to our business.
1t will give market to the farmer for
his produce Of all kinds, and will i'm
prove the Anderson cotton market. in
addition to this, it may safely De put
down to pay the stockholders dividend
of at least ten per cent, 40 that every
interest connected with or affected by it
will be advanced. Anderson is 4 little
slow to engage in any enterprise, but
when her people make up their minds
to go into any business they never
stop until it is made thorough
success 80 that when we express
the prediction that we will speedily
have this cotton mill, we feel
satisfied that it, establishment will de.
monstrate the importance and profit of
manufacturing, and ensure the erection
Of numerous similar enterprises. Per-
sons from the city or country who desire
TO subscribe to the capital stock Of the
proposed factory can have All opportu.

son Bank.

The atheists are not countenanced in
the government Of Great Britain.
Bradlaugh, n representative infidel of
the day, who was some time ago elected
to Parliament, has been kept out of his
seat because not believing in q God lie
could not with any meaning take the
oath of Office. To relieve him, several
unsuccessful bills looking to granting
permission to affirm, have been before
Parliament. The latest was defeated by
a vote of 27l against, to l65 for the bill.
Sir Stafford Northcote leading the ma.
jority, and Mr. Gladstone voting with
the minority. Thus England sets the
nations an example of only allowing
men who profess belief in God to make
her laws. If she could 60 a step further,
and only have those who act up a. the
belief, it would be great deal better.

The Charlotte Journal says that "exper.

appear. 70 show that $500 pounds can be
grown on an acre of suitable land, that
is, fine sandy or alluvial soil. At this
rate it ought to pay twice as we'll az cot
ton. The average yield of jute in Ben
gal, India, is said to be under l,SOG
pounds per acre." India, however, has
the advantage Of an abundance of cheap
labor, 80 that the South cannot compete
in the cultivation of jute until machine
is invented for separating the fibre from
the stalk. AS long as this has to be
done by hand, India will have practical.
ly monopoly In the production Of jute.

We publish elsewhere the Platform of
the Democratic party on the Tariff
question in each Presidential election
since 1900. From these various Plat
forms, it will be seen that the party has
not been always of the identical opinion
on the Tariff issue-thc difference being
that sometimes it declared for free trade
and sometimes it favored a Tariff for
revenue only. The drift of sentiment,
however, and the Democracy's greatest
successes have vindicnted the position
fayOring Tariff for revenue only. 1t is
impossible to establish free trade without
resorting to an income tax, which it
would cost millions upon millions of dol
lars to collect, and would prove more
burdensoma and obnoxious than the
present iniquitous System of Tariff pro.
lection. The expenses Of the govern
ment have to be met in some way, and
it is easiest, cheapest and surest to collect
them by light tax on imports. To col
lect nm imports it is only necessary TO
have Custom Houses ut the various ports
Of our country, whereas to collect an in
come tax would require officials in every
County in the Union, the result Of which
would be corruption, fraud and innu.
merable villanies connected with the fs.
cal affairs of the government. 1t is bad
enough now where the collecting officers
are comparatively few in number, and if
they were increased to the necessary num-
Der to collect an income tax, it would be
almost impossible to regulate the collec-
tion Of the taxes imposed, either as to
getting fair returns Of incomes or fair
returns of the moneys collected. A Tar.
if for revenue is safe position for the
Democrats to assume, and upon it we
believe they can easily succeed next year
in electing the President.

The board of directors of this oompa.
nyyesterday met at the company's office.
Captain e. s. Dwight, chief engineer,
rendered his report of the entire survey
from the initial point on the Augusta
and Knoxville road to Elberton, a dis.
tance of nearly seventy miles, which was
highly satisfactory. The profile showed
the heaviest work to be in Columbia,
and the lightest in Elbert county. The
president stated that the company were
already Mt work grading the road from
the point Of departure from the Augusta
and Knoxville road. He thought it
advisable to advertise for sealed propo.
sails for grading and in the event that
any of the hits were satisfactory 10 the
company to accept the same and then
discontinue the work by the company.
Colonel John L. Anderson, of Danbure.
member of the board, then stated that
there was some dissatisfaction among
the stockholders of Danburg on account
of the present survey, and asked that
another survey be made by the way OF
Danburg to be adopted in the event that
j. was more desirable than the present
one. Messrs. Walsh, Jackson, and AL.
exander thought the request reasonable
and by motion of Mr.. Walsh, the presi.
dent was requested to have the survey
nude: The question of calling in futurs

OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT ILI.Is 5

gence of its citizens, by which the per-
sonal virtues Of the citizens are
made the strength Of the government,
and the highest adurnment Of the repre-.
sentative American Although the
government has not fully worked up to
the expectations OF itI founders in every
respect, yet it must bc admitted that it
comes nearer to discharging the true
functions Of government than any form
that has yet been devised by man. Its
tendency is to reward merit, and 70
incite every citizen to personal effort to
raise himself in the opinion and respect
of his fellows, in order that he and his
posterity may enjoy social or political
position as their tastes may dictate. The
present United States Senate afford, a
remarkable proof Of the fact that every
man il, to large degree, in this Rcpub.
lie the architect Of his own fortune In
that body which is Of the highest rep
character in our country, we
find Senator Beck and Senator Brown,
who are said to haze started in life as

Davis, of West Virginia, as Il brakeman,
Fair as bar tender, Farley as Il stage

county storekeeper. Among our presi-
dents we have had Jackson, who WAS a
Johnson and Fillmore who
were tailOrs, Garfield, who was canal.
