had been giving that night at the inn and

there would undoubtedly have been a loss
Of life. Very little Of the furniture was
saved. The night was calm and
the fire confined its destructive work 10 the

effect that it was the work Of

A Review of the States Industrial
Condition.

Condition
CHARLESTON, s. c.. Jan. 1.-The NetOs
and Courier will tomorrow publish a re-
view of the industrial condition Of South
Carolina at the beginning of the new year.
Its reports come from twenty-five counties
and cover practically the whole state
Farmers have suffered greatly from the low
price OF cotton, and many small farmers
will find it difficult to secure Rd-
vauces for the new year. A large
corn crop, however, will help them to
tide over perhaps the worst year in its finan-
cial results the farmers have seen in ten
years. In all cases where farmers have
produced their own supplies they are in
good condition and will begin the year with
far better prosrects than their "all cotton"
neighbors. Merchants report collections
remarkably good, considering the low
price Of cotton. The banks have done
a safe and profitable business
throughout the state. Cotton mills have
paid good dividends. Without exception
all manufacturing enterprises report a
profitable year. New mills and factories
are being established in all parts OF the
state. Half dozen or more canning fac
tories were built during the
last year. Small capitalists
are devoting more and more attention to
the establishment of union manufacturing
industries. Farmers generally have re-
solved 70 devote less acreage to cotton and
TO plant grain more largely during the new
year. Tobacco culture was largely devel-
opsd the last two years with good results.
