New Cotton Mills.

Anderson is to have two new cotton mills.
Bolton has given Capt. eagle the contract
to build big mill in that town.
A mill with million and half capital
has Just been chartered for Columbia.
Mr.. l.. W. Parker, Of Greenville, Is IN the
manufacturing centres OF the East, making
ARRANGEMENTS to double his mill.
The annex to the Abbeville Cotton Mill Is
big thing, and is nearly finished.
Besides these new mills and these enlarge.
ments Of old ones. there are many others In
this State In process OF building or In organ.
iZation.
Almost any old dead town that can put ten
per cent. of It's entire property into cotton
mill, 1t seems to us, is building mills.
The price Of iron and all building material
has increased greatly during the year.
The wisdom OF the Northern friends OF the
Abbeville Cotton Mill in pressing forward the
work last Winter, is now apparent. The cost
OF building a mill today Is greater than 1t was
last Winter, when double price had to be
given for bricks.
The Bolton Mill was In luck last week. The
agent OF a lsrge mill was here to make con
tract for furnishing lumber for the Belton
Mill. He concluded the trade with Captain
Csgle, the contractor, returned to his hotel
and found telegram, raising the price one
dollar per thousand. 1t came in time to be
too late. And 30 1t was the Bolton Mill will
save big money.

The Subject Being Bricks.

While there Is no universal standard for
the size Of brick. yet we believe it ia true
that different localities, or different cities,
have standards which govern the people In
their contracts in their respective cities.
1t would not be interesting, If we knew, to
state the differences in standard bricks. But
at Abbeville the standard has been q brick OF
size that would contain not more than eigh-
teen brick to the cubic foot A brick should
be, when burnt, not less than 255s inches thick,
so that four courses Of brick. including the
mortar, will measure one perpendicular foot
OF wall.
When we speak OF cord of wood. we mean
18 cubic inches, which may or may not be
cut and put into a pile 4x4-s feet. And so
when we speak OF thousand brick, we mean
brick enough to make IS and s.lsths cubic
feet.
1t matters not, however, what length the
wood may be so that the necessary square
feet may be there; but with brick the matter
may be quite different. For instance: II the
brick are hauled by the counted thousand,
any shortage In the size OF the brick will in
crease the cost of hauling the necessary cubic
feet. II the brick mason puts them in the
wall by the counted thousand, his pay will be
increased. For each additional Joint in the
wall, the cost OF water and sand will be in.
creased.
1t will thus be seen that brick, which is
below the standard in size is worth compare.
lively little.
1t has been the custom for so long time at
Abbeville to have only the standard size OF
brick offered, that the recent innovotion with
thin bricks was unexpected, and places the
builder at great disadvantage. He must
either pay ten or twelve per cent. too much
or be to the trouble of resisting the imposi.
tion.
Another disadvantage arising from irregu-
lar size OF bricks lies in the fact that they
cannot be used in the same wall with stand.
ard size brick.
This newspaper has spoken Of the habit
which some people have of selling wood
which Is short in Measurement, and now we
add our protest against the sin of gouglng In
in the matter of mud. Old field pines and
mud are the cheapest things in all this coun.
try. and We see no good reason why honest
measure in each should not be given.

The PhilfDineR.

1t is apparent that the American army now
in the island Of Luzon is not OF sufficient
numbers to prosecute the war as successfully
as could be wished. A larger force may be
necessary.
In the Confederate war the United States
had experience 10 prove that an army OF oc
cupation required great numbers than an
army OF active aggressive warfare.
The Confederates captured prisoners who
were parolled because they could not defend
them from recapture.
The United States army garrisoned every
city that they captured, and TO garrison cities
forts and harbors required soldiers.
During the last year OF the war, Confederate
soldiers boasted that even II the great armies
were captured, the war would be kept up by
bush " hackers. And there were people who
believed that a system OF bushwhacklng
would annoy and disturb the Union forces to
q degree scarcely less perplexing than were
Lees and Johnson's armies.
When the war broke out Southerners ad-
vanced the idea that they could buy the guns
of the Northern soldier.
1t was confidently said that the Union
army would die like sheep when they reach.
ed the low lands OF the coast.
when Beast Butler took New Orleans 1t was
predicted that yellow fever would do the
work for the Union soldiers that might be
quartered there.
But all these predictions of evil to the
Union army, and, incidentally, of beneht to
us. failed.
The weather affected the Southern and
Northern soldier alike.
Joe Wheeler spoke from his war experience
at San Juan Hill, when he said that the
weather was not worse for the American
army than II was for the Spanish legions.
When the Con federate war was over, the
talk of "bushwhacking" was heard no more.
If experience in the past is worth anything
a good force will be required towhip and aold
Luzon. When the rebel army has been dis
banded, the guerrilla warfare will be found TO
be myth.
Defeats and retreats are demoralizing TO an
army. An army that is often defeated can be
held together, but there is that lack OF conn
dence and loyalty that Is necessary to keep
up fighting after the main army has been
broken or disorganized.
OF course, at the close Of every war there
are a number Of restless spirits when freed
from restraints that indulge In lawless acts
but their lawless acts are, as rule, directed
against those who are unable to defend them.
selves, and not against the superior numbers
Of any army.
These marauders might rob the citizen or
destroy his property, but they would shun
the presence Of soldiers.
The United States will conquer Luzon, and
those OF our fellow.cltizens who would pre-
vent the effusion of blood should uphold the
arm of the government. and cease TO inspire
delusive hopes in the hearts OF the struggling
Filipino.
No matter what their sympathies may be,
candor and honesty OF speech, should not
mislead the forlorn hope.

Paving the CubRns.

The S3OOO,OO0 which the American authori-
ties appropriated for the benefit of the Cuban
soldiers seems to be going abegging. On 1ne
first day that the paymaster opened bis ONCE
in Havana, only one negro applied for
pro rata share, s75. 1t was ascertained that
he was not entitled to 1t, and he went away a
moneyless man.
Last Sunday Ill applicants for money ap-
peared. Thirty.five we're given SIS each.
The condition Of payment Is dlsbandment
and surrender OF arms.
The opinion is prevalent that there has
been great fraud In the preparation OF the
lists.
And another reason for the small number
of applicants is the fact that 1t was not gener-
ally known when the distribution would
take place.
There will be plenty of applicants little
later on
