TIE CoTToN OH RErINERY.-The early

at some central point in this State appears
to be entirely practicable. Two or three

and we publish to-day letter from Mr.. c.

more in behalf of his company. MIR. Nc
Cullough goes further aud calls for q meet.
ing Of the representatives of the local mills
to be held on the first of August, to take the
necessary steps for the organization of The
company
We presume that we shall hear from other
men interested in tho business, and that
the capital fer the rcfncry.will be pledged
before the meeting of the mill meu is held,
1t is quite proper, however, that the sub
iject shall be fully discussed and there should
be entire harmony in the organization of the
company, the selection of site, and all
other questions connected with SO impor-
tant an undertaking.
BY cooperation among the local mills
and the refinery company, the cotton seei
product of South Carolina can be absolutely
controlled. We have capital enough of oul

ohnson, formerly of Camden, now pastor

Their chopper was patented some years ago,
but for want Of money the proprietors have
not been able to manufacture II.
After II was tried near Columbia this
