SOAP AND STARCH FACTO-
RIES.
Why Not Have One or Both i'm
Clinton ?--Thry Would Yield a
Profit and Give a Market for
ROsin and Sweet Potatoes.

The Manufacturers Record of
the 18th instant contains the
following, which every business
man South should read and con-
slider:
We have often wondered why
soap making has not been made an
important Southern industry. Moth
ing is used more generally or con-
sumed more rapidly. In slavery
days when there was a leachery on
every plantation, laundry soap was
domestic production. Now the
stores carry large stocks obtained
from Chicago, New York and other
Northern cities. The South, served
as rule by wasteful negro laund-
resses, is paying heavy tribute to
Northern manufacturers, while
furnishing them the rosin and cotton
seed oil of which they make large
use. We have seen boxes of cheap
soap containing large percentage
Of rosin heaped up in wholesale
stores in the Southern commercial
NCIllcISs NllCli VIC Noulu llOl ElIl ii
single bar made below the Ohio and
Potomac rivers. Soap making, both
for the laundry and the toilet can
be and ought to be great Southern
industry. While IN Chicago several
years ago, we were visiting an
extensive Job printing house. There
we saw two dray loads of labels sent
to local soap Iuaker. On iquiry
we learned that the average monthly
bill for labels paid thatprinting
house by this one concern exceeded
81 800 This led to visit to the
soap factory, where we found that
they consumed from $4,000 to 700
barrels of rosin and nually. Tins
North Carolina and Georgia turpen-
tine distilleTs are supplying, at an
infinitesimal profit to themselees, a
material that, after having added to
| it commissions, wharfages and
freights to Chicago; comes back in
soap, to which the makes profits,
the freight charges and the jobbers'
and retail merchants profits are
added, and Southern consumers pay
all these unnecessary bills. Surely
soap factories will pay, and yet in
fourteen States, in the last three
months but two new ones have been
started.
Where is all the starch used in
Southern laundries made? Go where
you will and you will find none but
Northern makers names or the pack
ages ir the grocery stores. And yet,
if chemists tell the truth, the sweet
potato will yield as largea percentage
eff starch as corn, and the yield of
Carolina and Georgia fields often
average several hundred bushels to
the acre.
| We might continue these illustra-
tions indefinitely. The South abounds
in materials for the establishme it OF
profitable industries that require but
little capital to comMence,bu that
can be worked up into immense con-
Germs by economic, diligent and pei.
severing work.

PRoCLAIMs HIMSELF CHRIST.
South Carolina Negroes Leave Their Crops
And Work to Follow Kim.
Great Excitement.

Down on the banks of the Savannah
river the negroes are in fearful state of
mind. For month or so a white man
who calls himself Jesus Christ, has been
going through the country preaching.
The negroes have come to believe in
him and have accepted his words as in
spired teachings.
Give up everything and follow me" }"
he commanded. LET your crops 90;
turn your cattle in the patches the
Lord will provide for you"
And, obeying him, hundreds Of ne
groes have quit work. Their little
crops have grown up with weeds the
planters have been deserted by their Ia
borers, who absolutely refuse to work !;
the turpentine manufacturers and the
saw mill men have great difficulty in
getting help enough to continue opera
tons. The colored population has
been demoralized for three weeks. To
such an extent has the craze spread that
the intelligent colored people and the
whites joined in discussing some plan
to put stop to it. It was decided to
arrest the crank or send him out of the
county. Some were ready to lynch
him, but better counsel prevailed.
A warrant has been issued for his ar
rest and is in the hands Of the sheriff.
He has prophesied that he would be
arrested, and his followers, "disciples,"
as tn ey call themselves-de
clared that he should not be taken
away, and that no violence should
be done him. The women were more
emphatic than the men, and have armed
themselves with guns, but the new
prophet told his people not to offer any
resistance. They feared that he would
be crucifed, but he told them that he
would not be put to death again.
When the officers went to arrest HIM
no resistance was offered, but large
crowd soon joined the favored disciples,
who are almost constantly about him.
They were ready to tear the officers to
peices, but at their prophets request
they suffered him to be taken quietly
away. After his arrest he gave the
name Of Campbell, and said he came
from the west He shows scars in his
hands. which he says were made by
rails when he was cruciied on calvary.
His hair and beared are long and shag
gy, although he evidently endeavors
to trim his beard as the Saviour's is
represented in some old pictures.
The negroes fall down and worship
him, and kiss his hands and feet, and
annoint him. He dresses shabbily some
times, and at all times poorly He re-
fuses money publicly, but is said to
have money, and it was feared the
charge of vagrancy could not be sus-
tanned. At his bidding women have
left their husbands and men their fam
lies to follow him. His familiarity
with the scripture is exceptional. He
has told the people that he will go
back to Heaven in chariot of fire at
an early date.

The Mellow trial has been made the
subject all over the North of a genera
discussion of the capabilities of the ne

opinion of the colored population of
Charleston has startled the Northern
mind. If after twenty years of educa-
