Still Waiting.

We copy from the Manufacturer Record
last weeks report for South Carolina. Abbe-
vile is not in 1t. and We know OF no good rea'
son Why this town should not make step
. Forward.
Na corporation is formed, and an industrial
enterprise is organized, constant and prof.
table employment will be given to those who
may need it. They will spend their money
for houses, and will pay for goods from our
stores and shops. It would distribute piles
Of money every month in the year, and all
the people outside could 60 TO picking up the
dollars that are put in circulation.
II It Is the will Of this people to build up
the town they can do 80. United effort will
accomplish much. We have only to will it,
and additional industries will be established.
We sat here for about . hundred years be-
fore Mr.. Bailey came along. We did nothing
until his appearance amongst us. Although
very few had any confidence in the success
Of the Cotton Mill, yet he was successful In
raising-under the most adverse circum-
stances-one hundred thousand dollars of
subscriptions from Our own people. Having
endorsement Of this kind, he went North for
aid, and everybody Knows the rest. He will
90 to New York and Boston next week In the
hope OF getting an additional amount Of
machinery with which to I'LL the mill.
When the mill is finished, 1t will pay peo-
pie In this community annually sum equal
ing one hundred thousand dollars. This
amount OF money put in circulation In this
small town will help somebody. If we could
build another cotton mill. or some other
manufacturing enterprise great good would
result. Money judiciously invested in manu-
faotures pays the capitalist a reasonable re-
turn for his money, and gives employment to
labor. This builds up the city. Money put
out on mortgages is a blight on the commun-
ity, which destroys or eats out the vitality
from the energy which might otherwise
bring thrift.

Practical Matters.

The News and Courier Of late has been pay
ing much attention to practical affairs while
seeking to encourage the development OF ouI
material interests. This makes the paper
valuable to the reading public, and brings the
paper and the people nearer together.
The country people want to be friendly with
Charleston, and they are sorry that the News
and Courier is not more nearly aligned with
the public sentiment. and they note with
pleasure any signs Of federation, II not friend
ship, from the News and Courier.
The public is in q frame Of mind which
makes them susceptible to any evidence Of
cordiality and goodwill from the metropolis
tan daily.

Let Us Make Brick.

1t would require but q small outlay In cash
to make two or three million brick. A tract
of land, suitable for Cotton Mill could be
bought for q nominal sum. II We had the
land and the brick, start would be made.
And when great enterprise is started 1t sell
dom stops until the end is accomplished. Ii
we buy the land, and make the brick this
year, we would be in good fix for pushing the
work next Spring.

The Anonymous Letter Writer.

The scorn OF all good men, be sits
And with the towards pen
Writes lines he fears to call his own
And signs himself, "a Friend"
Poor puny thing-a alimy toad
His only weapon, Ink;
And like the dirty, filthy thing,
He has no brains to think.
Anonymous, mean and batlike thing,
Who shuns the lightof day,
And slyly seeks. with vepgeful bite,
To wound-perchance to slay.
Soft spoken fiend, who signs no name,
Conceals the serpents hiss,
While he betrays the name Of friend
With ink instead Of kiss.
Sometimes he's styled "a looker.on,"
From Venice-Just as we'll
To write the truth once In way,
And sign himself from h-ll."

Publishing for the Colleges.

The News and Courier and The State have
been discussing the matter OF publishing
accounts OF college commencement. The be-
lief is expressed that too mu ch space has
been given TO such occasions, and that such
publications are seldom appreciated, or words
10 that effect. From q business standpoint
this newspaper is prepared to express the
belief that such publications do not pay
the printer.
The News and Courier has received note
OF thanks from one college President for such
work, while We understand that The State has
not received any such recognition from any
college.
AS far as we are able TO judge the reading
public, as whole do not eagerly look for
such reports.
The matter OF these reports. as published, is
subject OF criticism. Correspondents, as a
rule seem to be imbued with the idea, that
the "big men" are the chief attractions on
College Commencement occasions, and that
the great orators, the pompous colonels. the
brave captains, the great doctors Of
divinity, and other fossilated dignitaries are
by no means to be neglected. AS this news.
paper sees 1t, puffs OF distinguished people on
their visits to College Commencements is the
veriest rot. The yonng men. OF the college,
are, or SHOULD be, the chief objects OF interest.
The speech of young man on his graduation
is Of far more Importance, and deserves much
more notice and much greater attention than
the presence OF guests. The orations ol
the studen ts-snd not OF the invited orators
speak for the College and attest the fidelity
and efficiently Of the Faculty. II newspaper
correspondents devoted their efforts to noting
the work Of the Faculty and to publishing
the success or requirements Of the individual
students, these accounts would be more inter.
esting to the public than falling on the neck
OF distinguished visitors who have no con.
nection with or interest In the College.
II accounts Of commencements had more OF
the colleges and less frills and furebelows,
they would be more interesting to the public
and more valuable to the college.

All the Ingredients for Building a
Cotton Mill.

Abbevnle has everything which is necessary
for the building of another Cotton Mill.
l. We have plenty OF good locations and
an abundance Of good water.
2 We have the clay, the water, the pine
wood, and the elbow grease to make millions
OF brick.
8. Enough ready cash to complete the com.
bination can be had.
Contractors can be found who will furnish
the brick, and take large part OF their price
in stock in the new mill. Anything that
gives employment to labor adds to the wealth
Of the city. For instance: The clay that lies
In the earth is worthless. the water runs to
waste, the old field pines are Of little value.
But add enough ready cash to the combins.
tion, and we have valuable product In the
brick.
