NEW ENTERPRISES.
Chartered in the First Six Months
of the Year.
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
Over a Million Dollars Of Increase
in Stock. A Number of
Cotton Mills Pro-
iected.

Since the first Of the year charters
have been issued concerns in this State
representing an aggregate capitalization
of nearly FIVE million dollars. OF this
amount 81, ,226, 700 represents new con-
Germs, and s2,6l3, 900 the capital Of or
CARNATIONS increasing their capital
stock; a total of 81, 939, 200. These fig
ures were obtained from the semi-annu-
al statement of Mr.. J. T. CAN'T, chief
clerk in the office Of the secretary of
State. There was great progress In the
State last year, but Mr.. Gantt's COM
parative statement shows that, between
Jan. l, 1898, and July ! of the same
year, charters were issued to concerns
capitalized at S1,SS9, 100 against 81
226, 700 this year-a gain OF 1887 600.
But while the aggregate capitalization
of new concerns is very encouraging,
there is even greater reason for con-
graduation on account OF the wonderful
amount of capital stock increased. The
first six months Of this year South Car
lima enterprises increased their capital
stock from 81, 347 900 to 81, ,6l3, ,CO0; a
total increase of 81, ,226, 900.
In order to obtain charter, the orig
inators or "corporators' must first OBJ
tain commission. This instrument
authorizes them TO solicit capital stock,
etc. After certain per cent. Of the
capital stock has been subscribed, a
charter may be obtained. 1t is under a
charter that Joint stock concern can
do business. A commission is rarely
obtained, however, unless the company
means business and does afterwards OBJ
tain a charter. So much in explann-
tio1 of the fact that the figures above
quoted represent joint stock companies
which have actually raised the capital
stock. There were III proposed COM
panies which filed declarations for
commissions and have not yet sent in
their returns" for charters. Last year
in the same time there we're 66, repre-
senting proposed capital stock Of
So, ,O49, $50, against s5,33S, 400 this
year. This does not include the socie-
ties, etc.. which are chartered but have
no capital stock.

THE BATTLE OF HONEY HILL.
An Address to the Survivors Of That
Noteworthy Engagement.

T, tie Survivors of the Battle Of
Honey HILL
On Nov. 80, 1864, battle was fought
at Honey Hill, S. G., and woa by
southern valor. This was a particular
II brilliant affair, in which about l.,
500 Confederates defeated about $500
northern troops, preventing them from
seizing the Charleston AID Savannah
railroad, near Grahamville, and from
cutting of retreat for Gen. Hardce S
army from Savannah, Ga. In this en-,
ga::ement nearly 1000 of the enemy
we're killed ard wounded.
Ii is due the men who won this VIC
tory that their achievement be placed
on record il order that historians may
fpd material in the future from which
TO construct a complete history OF our
couatry and State.
1t is hoped By the writer Of this TO-
tice that survivors Of the battle will
forward him through mail such infor-
nation concerning this fight, that there
may be preparr d ar accurate narrative
of Honey Hill, where Georglans and
Caroliniaus, regulars and militia, Off
GERS and men, distinguished themselves
and added % the lustre Of southern
arms By defeating a brave and deter
mircd foe, where the odds were four to
one.
An fort 70 this end has been made
by l .aore worthy s2y. o. Caroline but
baadoned through lack Of informa-
ton .~latipg to the Georgia troops; not
hosever, until he had contributed to
history much of value and iltcrest. Of
the battle day Capt. COurtenay 'ould
not write, for which scanty information;
he was unwilling to lower his high ideal
of what the battle narrative sho2ld be
in order to meet the importantly OF
friends urging him on.
Surely survivors of Honey Hill can
be induced to break silence bya con-
sideration of their obligations to their
posterity, and will furnish information
to place fer them on record brave deeds
of valiant sires Also perfect histo-
ries of Georgia and So1th Carolina re.
quire the narration of these deeds OF
patriotic sons.
No time should be lost, for veterans
of the war answering to roll-call here
ere fast crossing over that river from
whose other side no message can re-
turn.
Survivors of the fight at Honey Hill
are earnestly invited to write clear
md accurate information Of the battle,
supplying names of their company, bat
talon, regiment, officers and men, that
participated in the battle; time when
each command joined the fight; place
occupied e,ith reference tc tne ROAD Ia
tersecting the breastworks; wha: ser,
vic: was rendered by his command and
officers: any instances worthy special
mention of individual usefulness or va
lor, etc.

Walks from Pole to Pole.

A force of telephone linemen is at
present busy stretching a heavy lead
cable along the line Of tall poles run
ming down Main street. With the force
is man who was regarded by many
with wonder. He moved along the ca
BILE between the poles at will, fixing
first this place and then that. When
he had any distance to 60 he would
stand erect and walk the swaying cable.
His daring and recklessness caused
many to stop and wonder what manner
of man he was.-State.

An open letter has been pub.
Iished asking al accounting OF
the County Court to the people
FOR one of its transactions as
oihcers OF the county, Marked
copies of the paper were sent to
each of the Judges so they could
not but know. The Paris pa
pers attempted to raise TO an
explanation in the defense of
the Judges. The explanation
only proved the statements
made in the letter, hat did not
eXplaiu why, The fact was al
ready known that the (ecouoni-
caD money had been lavislly
spent. We have nothing to say
about the papers reaping a rich
harvest, the question was pro
pounded TO the Court, not them.
Now will the Judges deign to
raise to the occasion or will
they take on another yard Of

There are two strong reasons,

make it profitable for the farm

live stock kept on the farm,
sheep stand out above all others
as renovaters of the soil. Sheep
