Green Front until better name Is
suggested In the mean time we invite
every body to call on widow Shoppaul in
her neat and pretty new quarters
Darlington Cotton Factory.
The Darlington Correspondent of the Charleston
Ncrs amt Cowrj"r thus writes of the prospects of
the cotton Factories to hc built at that place
and Florence.
Tie enterprise, both at this place and at Flor
cncc, bids fair to bC success. Not only have men
Of means zone into the venture but. what is better
still. CLERKS on small salaries have invested III
one or two shares. his Of itself shows that the
sririt of progress is abroad. and that our people
recognize the Improvement i'll the CONDITION al
the country. With the mills and the cotton
fields near to each "thcr. with us IL will not be
n question Of tariff or tariff, hard money or
soft but we will only ask to be let alone in tn"
gr"M w"rI; h"frr" us--thNt OF our matrr'ns
development.
The fact that young men with "small salaries
arc investing in these Enterprises shows the
great int crest that all classes Of the people there
are taking in it, When we see the young men
Of a community coming forward to do what lies
in their power To establish enterprises for tho
prosperity uf all arounl thcw, we can safely
predict rr that community thriving and pros
porous futurc.
such lung men have thr true spirit Of enter
prise in them. and it will crow as they grow in
years: and their reward will come When they
rHr!ciyatc in the grand results Of their FIRST
investments. We care not how 'm'.il the amount
invested hy young man may hc, he will tecI
q great an interest III the success Of the enter
prise ~ those of more abun'lant means who
invest large amounts, AMI he is really entitled
20 more credit for, in nine cases ont Of ten
i; Will demand greater sacrifices to meet the
payments.
1t cannot he denied, we think, that the presen,
business ou;loot' or the young men OF tins com
muujiy--lt least those not now in business for
them selves is very discour&yin~, and it will
ret more Gloomy every year. il something is not
done, - create AMI attract business at this point
After all. it is the yrung men who will be mostly
hcncitcl by the success ofthc enterprises now
being established in Ihc South, and the young
II Ell should actively encourage them, in every
way doing wh't they can toward building them
up. Let the clerks and other young men in this
town ,lo a< the clerks OF Darlington have done,
aul the proposed cotton Factory ut Union will
no longer hc matter Of doubt.
