oARoLrNA's PROSPERITY.
The Farmers and Tradesmen IN Better
Condition Than In Years.

SOh0AhAOh 4A0A o14oe
CHARLEsToE, 8. c., Jan. 1.-The Ncps
and Courier will print tomorrow a re-
view Of the Industrial and financial condi-
tions Of South Carolina at the beginning Of
the new year, which, on account OF the i'm
proved condition and outlook OF the sgri-
cultural interests Of the state, are crafty
ing. The reduced cotton crop brought bet
ter prices. and for the most part the farm
ers have incurred but little new indebtedness
on It's account.
More corn, wheat and oats were raised
last year than perhaps in any previous year
in the history of the state.
The cultivation OF tobacco has extended
to many parts Of che state and has proved
profitable wherever 1t was conducted with
ordinary intelligence and care.
More hogs have been raised than for
many years past.
PLENTY TO EAT FOR TWO YEARS.
The barns and smoke houses are full of
grain and meat, for the first time since the
war.
Farming stock Of all kinds are well fed
and in good condition.
There is enough food for man and beast
to last until the next Drop Is gathered, and,
In some places, enough 70 last for two years.
Economy prudence and providence have
been the watohwords OF the farmer
buIOukuOup year, anu tue 0dpDy TeSuIb
is that he is paying his old debts and maxi
ing few new ones and Is more independent
than be has ever been before.
These improved conditions In the country
are reflected In the towns II the farmers
have incurred fewer debts the merchants
and factors have incurred fewer doubtful
caeditors. Business lie approaching nearer
to a cash basis and the change is more sat
isfaotory to all the parties concerned. The
BANKS report that all notes are met as they
fall due, and deposits are on the increase
Nearly every business interest is on a
sounder and easier footing than year ago.
THE INDUSTRIES OF THE STATE.
The industries of the state, too, have
prospered. II has been a good year for cot
ton factories every where, and those OF South
Carolina have proved no exception to the
rule. number Of new mills will be in
operation before the close OF this new year,
and still Others are looming up In the near
future. The promise is fair that the state
will maintain the lead that IL has taken
among the states Of the south In the develop
ment Of what must eventually prove to be
their chief Misunderstanding industry.
There In but one shadow on the picture
Legislation inimical to certain private and
corporate interests appears to have become
the order Of the day in this state. The i'll
effects Of that already adopted will probably
be felt throughout the new year and per-
haps for years to come; and there Is gener al
apprehension that other mischievous meas
ures will follow before the year is out. But
on the whole South Carolina makes nearly
an even start with the new year.

CHATTANooqA's COMPLAINT.
The Interstate Commission Finds II
Just in Part.

The Interstate Commission Finds It
just in Part.
WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-The interstate
commerce commission. by Commissioner
Knapp, has rendered its opinion in the case
OF the board of trade of Chattanooga against
the East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia
Railway Company aud others. The COM
plaint alleged that the rate on traffic from
New York and other Atlantic seaboard
points to Chattanooga are unrea-
sonable In themselves and relatively
as compared with rates on like
property TO Memphis and Nashville. and
that rates on such traffic are greater for the
shorter distance TO Chattanooga than for
the longer distance over the same line in
the same direction TO Memphis and Nash
VILE 1t is held that the defendants are
JUSTIFIED by the existence of water COM
petition of controlling force in charging
less on such traffic for the longer distance
TO Memphis, but that no such competition
exists for such traffic to Nashville. and any
greater charge for transportation OF
like kind of property from
said seaboard points for the shorter
distance to Chattanooga than for the longer
distance through Chattanooga to Nashville
is in violation OF the fourth section of the
act to regulate commerce. The defendants
are ordered to cease and desist from max
ing such greater charge to Chattanooga,
with leave to file application for relief under
the proviso clause Of the fourth section
within a specified time. One TRANSPORTS
tion line cannot be said to meet the compe-
tition Of another transportation line for
the carrying trade of any particular
locality, unless the latter line could and
would perform the service alone if the
former did not undertake it. When great
disparity exists between charges which are
lower to a competitive than to an inter-
mediate point much less remote, the infer
ence is irresistible that the lower rate is un-
remunerative or that the larger rate gives
an unwarranted return for the service rem
dered

ANOTHER BATTLE IN MEXICO.
Revolutlonists Routed by Troops
They Out Numbered.

Revolutlonists Routed by Troops
They Out Numbered.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. Ia special
to the Times Democrat from Nuevo Lar
edo, Mexico, gives an account of another
bloody fight on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grapdc, near Guerrero. Friday, between
about 150 revolutionists and 80 Mexican
troops belonging to the Sixth cavalry. The
revolutionists were commanded by Pru-
dencio Gonzales. They are the same de-
taohment that made q successful attack on
the Mexican troops opposite San Ignacio
few weeks ago.
DRIVEN FROM THIS SIDE.
They have been pursued by Lieut.. West
OF the Third United States cavalry and his
troops. The United States soldiers pushed
the revolutionists so closely that the latter
determined to cross the river into Mexico.
They had hardly crossed TO the other side
when they struck camp of Mexican troops.
A stubborn fight ensued and despite the
fact that the soldiers were outnumbered two
to one they defeated the revolutionists, who
retreated down the river. Rumor puts the
loss of the Mexican troops at seven killed
and twenty wounded and OF the revolution
ists at ten killed and twelve wounded.
