Prosperity in the Field Of Manufacturing
Enterprise.

Christmas holidays are over and a
new year has dawned upon US, and we
find Prosperity much the same as it
was twelve months ago. The year of
Grace, 1890, passed without giving
Prosperity cotton mill, oil mill, tan
merry, sash, blind and door factory, can
ming factory, or even the brick yard.
The year passed and none Of these in
stitutions put in an appearance. The
present year, however, bids fair to be
fruitful with enterprises. Already a
strong and reliable company has been
organized and differed for the manu-
facture and sale of the Bonham Adjust
able Harrow.
The officers of this company are, J.
NJ. Wheeler, of the firm of Wheeler &
Moseley, bankers, President; q. S. Boo
ger, of the firm of Boozer & Bowers,
cotton buyers, secretary and treasurer.
The board of directors areJ. NJ. Wheel
er, A:H. Wheeler, A. NJ. Wyse, b. S.
Boozer, A. H. Kohn and L. 8. Bowers.
The company is composed Of rigidly
staunch business men, and representsa a
capital Of more than 500, 900. The COM
pany is entirely responsible for any
contracts that they will undertake to
make. They have purchased the whole
State of Texas from the patentee, and
on Monday last Messrs. A. II. Kohn
and A. NJ. Wyse, general agents of the
company, started for the Lone Star
State to canvass it in the interest of the
company.
The company made a wise selection
of these two gentlemen. They are not
only business men Of a high standard,
but they are gentlemen of genial and
affable dispositions and pleasing man
ners and address, and We predict for
them successful undertaking.

year should begin with the birth of
spriDg-the 21st of March, when nature
is putting on new garments. Those old
philosophers got things awfully mixed
up anyhow. Their years used to be
measured by the moon, and they had
thirteen months, but that diden't fit,
and so they fell back to ten months of
thirty-six days each, and that dident
fit, and next, they put in two more
months and had no leap year, and at
last, Pope Gregory fixed the measure
all right, just as We have it now. 1t
was only in the last century that the
civilized nations adopted the new time.
Russia hasent adopted it yet, but I
don't know whether she is civilized or
not.
January was right good name for
the first month. He was a watchful
old fellow and had two faces, and could
look before him and behind him at
the same time. 1t is a good idea for a
man to look back over the year that
has gone and review his conduct, and
then look forward and promise to do
better. But most of the months were
named for heathen gods who never
existed, and so were the days of the
week. I wish the school children
would read about them and be able to
answer what March means, and April
and Wednesday and Thursday, and the
other names. Gather knowledge as you
90 along-useful acknowledgement store
it away. If you haven't got the books,
borrow them from somebody and read.

MIDNIGHT RUMORS.
Tho Governor Finds a Mares Nest.
GSpecial to News and Courier. |

Special to News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, S. c., January 16.-Gov-
eruor Tillman has discovered that there
are no itemized statements of the dis
bursement of the contingent fund on
file in the Office and that no vouchers
for the various items have been kept on
recorh. He says: "This you can see
from the report of the Comptroller
General" and that official has no right
to make any payments of the fluid
without such itenized statements. It
is thought that the records may have
been misplaced, but this is hardly prob
able
WHAT EX-sECRETARY GONZALES SAYS.
Mr.. w. F.. Gonzales, the private Sec
retary of ex Governor Richardson, was
seen tonight. He said that upon re-
turning to Columbia this evening he
had noticed in the Evening Record
something derogatory to the conduct of
the Governors office while he was Sec
retary. He intended seeing Governor
Tillman on the subject tomorrow
morning, but in the meantime would
MAKE a statement of the facts.
1t was said that the vouchers for
contingent and other funds used by the
Governor were not on file in the Gov
ernor's office. This is perfectly correct.
They are not on file in that Office, be-
cause that office has nothing to do with
these vouchers. Before the warrant
for the mony can be issusd by the
Comptroller General these vouchers
must be filed with the Comptroller
General. They are receipt to him
for his warrant. This fact is certainly
not unknown to the Governors office.
In regard to the annual statement of
expenditures not being published in
the Comptroller Generals report, MIR.
Gonzales said that it is customary for
these statements to be published in the
Comptroller's report, but when so
published the reports close on the 3lst
Of October, after which no money can
be drawn. This year, as one Governor
was going out, it was deemed advisa-
bic and proper that he should pay all
the debts contracted by the Office up to
the time of his retiring. To do this it
was necessary to keep the account
open after October 81. This was
done with the consent OF the Comp
troller Generals Office, and as
tie accounts were kept open until
December l, no statement could
be made until they were closed. Then
the accounts were closed on December
!, the statement was flied in the Comp
troller Generals office, and this was
after his report had gone to press. The
matter is very simple and it is difficult
to see how there could have been any
misunderstanding about it. None of
these matters are of record in the Cover
nor's Office. The Comptroller Generals
office is where they should be and
where they are.
