COTTON MILLSON THE COAST,
The Press and Banner is Partly Mis-
unNierstOOd-SOme Errors and Some
wisdom III Reference to u Vital
Subject.
Walterboro Press and Standard

Our astute contemporary, The Abbeville
Press aud Banner, taking the proposed build
ings OF q cotton mill on the install lmenL plan
at Barnwell as text, devotes column set in
solid 'nonpareil to the effect OF showing that
this particular enterprise Is impracticable and
that all enterprises OF a similar character on
the "level lands that skirt the sea- are unde-
srable. The force OF The Press and Banners
argument however, is weakened, IL not lost,
by PREDATORY confession OF Ignorance as to
the condition Of the low country with regard
to the amount of available labor and its suit
ableneSs as place for factory operatives to
live "In the hearts of the people who live
on the high and rolling sections OF the hill
lands there is deep-seated prejudice or dis.
like for the low country" AYERS our coutem
porary, and consequently we lowlanderS
need not expect up-country people to move
down here and make our enterprises sue
cessful. We are aware of the existence of this
"deep seated prejudice" but must acknowl-
edge our obligations to The Press and Banner
for the information that factory operatives
are so fastdious as TO refuse to dwell among
a people that are the peers in every respect of
any on the earth. The low country offers to.
day better field for the rapid accumulation
OF wealth than any other section of the State
and 1t is a notable fact that wherever iutelli-
gence Is Joined with industry prosperity pre-
walls. The general belief of up-c0untrymen
that the sea-c coast counties and those ada
cent to them are unhealthy and poor in natu-
raj resources is erroneous and their beSOtted
ignorance OF the conditions of the country il
a
abundance of labor In the low country, SO II
will not be necessary to draw upon the hills
for operatives.
1.-The idea of building mill in the country
on the instament plan Is impracticahle and
can't succeed" says the Press and Banner.
Again our contemporary is in error Walter
boro hag mill built on that plan and eXpe-
rienced mill men say that II Is equal In ev.
cry respect to many OF the mills now opera,
ting in the cities OF the South.
We concur, however, with The Press and
Banner in the opinion that 1T would be folly
for the Barnwell people to commence work
with a cash capital of only 100000. The idea
OF limiting the subscriptions and the number
OF votes ofany stock holder is likewise absurd
The only wise course for the projectors OF the
enterprise to adopt is 10 procure subscriptions
for the full amount of the proposed capital
stock before beginning the work of building
They will find 1t not only wise but necessary
to sell each subscriber as many shares as he
can be induced to buy, allowing him as many
votes as he has shares. If the Barnwell peo
pie undertake TO bull mill on the lines
here suggested we believe they will sue
ceed-and be able to operate their factory in
dependently OF Abbeville labor.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Child Fell in the River, and
Died Three Hours After =
Taken Out.

A somewhat strange accident Oc-
Cured at Fl. Ripley April %. Roy,
the 5-year-old son Of Mr.. ana Mrs.
A. j. Davis, Of that place, while
playing near the hank Of the
Nokassippi river fell in. The
child's cries were heard, and parties
soon rushed to his rescue. The child
held onto the shrubs on the bank
until the rescuers arrived, but then
let go his hold and sank. The child
was pulled out promptly, but was
in an unconscious condition when
taken from the water, and died thrt e
hours later.
Parties present claim that the boy
was not under water long enough to
drown, and are of the opinion that
death was either the result of fright
or chill. The latter may have been
the cause, as the water is still very
cold, and the child may have been in
the water some time before it's cries
were heard.

IT'S A BAD BREAK.
Much Stone Gone From the
New Minneapolis Power
.." DAM.

1t was we'll known by all who
have recently viewed the site oi tho
new power dam at Minneapolis that
the damage IT, 1t by the high water
aud logs was much more serious
than any OF the local papers repre-
sen ted, and the following from Fri
days Minneapolis journal tells in
part the truth:
1T will he some time before repairs
cum be begun on the new power dam.
which was quite seriously damaged
during the recent high water. Al
though the water IL now three or
four feet lower than it was at the
highest point. 1t liz still impossible to
tell the full extent VI the injury done.
What was at first supposed to be Il
breaking IN the coping only can now
be seen to he Il good deal more while
the central portion III the main wing
OF the dam IL doubtless broken down
rs far AZ the foundation or at least
to the first layer Oi stone above that.
TwO-thirdn OF the water going do ~n
the riveris going through this break.
which Ia enough to Indicate that the
break Ia a big one. The current IL
too swift to permit any sOnndings,
and until the water Ia very much
lower 1t will not he possible to do
much toward repairs. The larger
break is not less than TOO feet In
width"
The old dam at Minneapolis was
also damaged a great deal. and the
retaining wall Of the east size canal
suffered.
With oil the money spent on the
Minneapolis booms. they have not
been secure. enough to hold the logs
In the spring. and their dams have
suffered from the high water.
The boom works ut Little Falls
were the only ones below Brainerd
that stood the strain Of high water.
The Little Falls dam was the only
one ON the river that suffered no
damage. and was able to supply its
patrons with power throughOut the
high water season.
The saw mills ut Little Falls were
the first ON the upper river, (north
OF WinOnn) to begin the seasons
work, and were the last to close last
fall.
The river improvements at Little
Falls are for business. as well us

FELIX CARDINAL DEAD.
The End Came at 10 O'clock
Last Night After a Brief but
Painful Illness.

Felix Cardinal, proprietor Of the
Hub sample rooms ON Broadway,
died few minutes after ten O'Clock
last night, after u hrief illness from
inflammation of the Kidneys. Mr..

two weeks, but did not consider

his business until last Monday night.
On Tuesday physicians were sum.

him, but did every thing possible to
alleviate his terrible suffering and
prolong his life, but to no avail.

Peter. He came to this city III the
spring OF 1891 from Chippewa Falls,
Wis. He erected u building on the

A Bad Surveying Law.

The legislature Of 1895 passed two
laws providing for the establishment
of section and quarter-section
corners. Chapter .49 was a very
poor law, allowing the surveyor to
do the work, and authorizing the
county to pay the bills and assess
the cost against the land-although
there were no petitions on file and
no records to show that the land
owners wanted the survey made.
Chapter $50 allowed the land owners
the same privileges Of getting their
lines este blished, but placed some
reasonable safeguards about the
proceedings, and the county COM
missioners gave a hearing on the
petition before any proceedings took
place that would result IN expenses
to the land owners.
Chapter 249 was repealed by the
recent session of the Legislature, and
no one who understands the law
will attempt to defend it.
Attempts to operate under it had
made trouble in Morrison and other
counties, and it's repeal was right.
The only way to account for it's
passage in 1895 is by assuming that
those who voted for chapter 249 had
examined chapter 250 and supposed
there was but one proposed measure
to accomplish what is intended by
the latter. and voted for the propO.
sitiOn without considering how
carelessly it was drawn.
