Congressman Josiah Patterson, of Ten

election on sound money platform, -
{ assigns several reasons for the slate un-
pleasantness" of Nov. 8. 1894, on which

Sffom Maine to Mexico, and makes tha
following statement: ~ am constrained
to believe that If the Democrats in Con-
eress had to man rallied around the
administration and promptly repealed
! the Sherman law, authorized the secre-
stary Of the treasury to sell three per cent.
bonds when necessary to maintain the
public credit, thereby giving absolute
assurance to the world that we intended
8 10 maintain gold payments, and promptly
passed the tariff bill, the result would
have been wholly different" We think
he is very nearly right. Had the politi-
clans in Congress rallied around Cleve-

DR.. Anderson has opened an Office in
Sherman, Texas, and can only remain in
Anderson for short y hile to wind up his
interest in our business here. Therefore.
after the publication of this notice we will
do no further work except for cash, as all
of our time, except when we can work
for the cash, must be taken up looking
after collections; therefore we have no time
now for credit work, and should you ask
for it we would be compelled to refuse you.
Now. please rem member that DR.. Ander.
sons time is limited, and he will have to
return to his Office at Sherman not later
than Jan. 1, 1895, and then all accounts
not paid must be placed in the hands of

the number of its looms and second in
the number of it's spindles. being only
35,703 spindles behind North Carolina and
far ahead of Georgia. This. we think, Is
doing well, indeed, for the Palmetto State.
When its territory and population-and
especially its white population-relative
to that of its big neighbors is taken into
consideration-it leads both in its manu-.
featuring development. 1t is announced
this week, moreover. that three new
mills, to cost $4,000, SlOO, 900 and 5000, 900
respectively, are being "organized" in
the upper part Of the State, and if these
projects are pushed to completion it may
be that this State will lead even North
Carolina in the number Of spindles before
the end of the year.
New mills, however, are being project
ed almost weekly in North Carolina also,
and that State has shown remarkable
aptitude for carrying such "projects" into
effect by its own efforts and without de-
lay. The race between the two States is
therefore likely to be close ono for the
ensuing year.-Ne,Us and Courier.

The Greenville News, in its comments
on the treatment of convict. on the plan
tation Of Hon. J. Belton Watson, In this
County, has done that gentleman an In
justice. Mr.. Watson denies the charges,
and those of our citizens who have
visited the plantation say the convicts are
we'll cared for. They have com Portable
quarters. are supplied with plenty ofgood
substantial food and good clothing. When
convicts are sent TO- the penitentiary they
are sentenced to hard labor, and they
should be required to do that. Mr.. Wat
son requires reasonable amount of work
from each convict, and all work they do
over their task they ara given certain
amount of tobacco. We venture there is
no camp in the State where the convicts
are better cared for than at Mr.. Watson's.

A Cotton Hill Race.

The Boston Journal Of Commerce,
which has been devoting especial atten-
ton recently to cotton manufacturing in
he South, prints in its last issue, No
vember II, the names, locations, capital
stock, number of spindles, looms and
cards of all the mills in this section which
are engaged in manufacturing cotton
fabrics or yarns.
The list, which the Journal says will
be "a great surprise to many" makes
nearly three columns In very fine type
and embraces nearly 400 concerns, with
out, we believe, being complete, as the
Journal explains that it is as full as it
could make 1t up to date from the data at
hand.
It is noted that cotton manufacturing
"has largely concentrated in the States of
North aud South Carolina, and that they
are very close rivals for the leadership"
North Cardinals place in the list is most
imposing, indeed, as the record of its
numerous factories fills one whole COL
umn Of the the nearly three columns re-
quired for the "Southern" States-in-
Guiding Delaware, Maryland, Missouri
and West Virginia IN that remarkably
elastic section of country. The honor of
this prominent position is largely due,
however, to the great number of small
mills in North Carolina-a feature of its
manufacturing system which Is peculiar
to that State, and is as admirable, we
think, as it is peculiar.
Taking the record as made up by the
Journal, North Carolina has 142 mills,
with 601,016 spindles, 12,143 looms, 1891
cards South Carolina has 62 mills with
655.22S .pludles, 17,740 looms and 1852
cards. Georgia has 67 mills, with 536, 100
spindles, 12,l34 looms and 1885 cards.
North Carolina. therefore, leads in the
mum Der of mills, spindles and cards !;
South Carolina, with less than half as
many mills, is close second in the num-
Der Of spindles, and is first in the num-
Der of the looms; while Georgia stands
second in the number Of mills and cards
and third in the number Of spindles and
looms.
The average number of spindles to a
mill in South Carolina and Georgia Is
more than double the number in North
Carolina. South Carolina has three mills
with $4,000 spindles and over-the Paco-
let, Pelzer and Clifton mills. (Which the
Journal inadvertently credits to Georgia;l
Georgia has one such mill, the Eagle and
Phoenix, at Columbus, while the largest
number of spindles in q North Carolina
mill is 30,0OO-in the Modena mill. In
South Carolina there are twelve mills
with 10000 to $4,000 spindles, six mills
with $4,000 to $4,000 and three with so, 900
to $4,000. Georgia has nine mills with
10000 to $4,000 spindles, six with $4,000
to so, 600, and one of $4,000. North Caro-
lima has fourteen mills with from 10000
to $4,000 spindles and one of $4,000 spin
dies.
AS has been remarked, South Carolina
stands first among Southern States in

The Charleston 'Eyening Post says a
cotton gin has been invented by J. w.
Cooper, of MayesYille, S. c., fof which
some remarkable claims are made. The
gin has 120 saws, and in outward appear
ance is much like any other. 1t is an
interlapping double-saw gin, the two
sets of saws running the same roll in the
breast of the gin. 1t is claimed that it
will perform double the work of a single.
saw gin, and at the same time the ex-
pense of condenser and feeder is saved ;
and in addition there is said to bea saving
in horsepower required for operation Of
about one-third.
