volume of commerce that will be brought

that 1t will prove success no one can DOUBT.
The commerce OF the United states is being
expanded and the South American states
offer great opportunities to our American
manufactures. In the building up OF this
trade the South will get Its share and OF course
South Carolina will come in for her portion.
The first requisite is deep water port and

through this portion Of South Carolina will

transportation Of their products to the re-

The Negro in the Cotton Mill.

A great deal has recently been said about

II Mr.. Montgomery's proposed experiment

Its far reaching results. Future competition
among mills will force the employ ment OF
the cheapest labor, and when white labor ls

the white must succumb. or course IL is un-

Mr.. Montgomery's experiment will be

but throughout the entire country especially
the South. He is one of the most experience

Public Loss.

Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of the Augusta
Chronicle, is dead. He had been sick for q
long time. From an unknown orphan irish
boy, he rose to distinction, and was the best
beloved and most useful citizen OF Augusta.
He was an honest man, and possessed the
respect OF all. In his life the struggling
youth OF this country have an example
worthy OF all emulation. and In his character
they should find an inspiration to strive for
higher things.
AS an editor he was always honest. and he
was ever respectful OF the feelings OF those
with whom he differed. Honest himself, he
recognized virtue in others, and whatever the
provocation, he never sought to ruin the
good name Of any one. His mind was
prompted by the higher impulses, and at his
hands no mans character was in danger Oh
assassination. On the contrary, he ever gave
the helping hand TO those who hoped for bet.
ter things. and he had the manhood and the
courage to excuse the errtng,
