writes to the Chicago Inter-Ocean i
“I left Michigan with just means
enough to come down here. I expect
ed to find men who wanted to hire at
twenty dollars per month, or more, but
could not find anything at all to do. In
search of work I traveled over a great
pjirt of Dallas, Tarrant. Kaufman and
Effis, and only found one man who
wouldigive employment, and even he
said he didi not really need any men.
bht wouhi hire me for a few days, be
cause every men ought to have some
thing to do. After working for him
eight days for fifty cents a day, I again
beg n the unavailing hunt for “plenty
of work oat fair prices,” but have not
found it yet, and am about ready to de
clare that it is an ignis fatuus. I meet
plenty men who cannot find anything
to do, and many offer to work for their

They Must Close Up or Come
Eolith. *.
In less than twenty years the cotton
factories of the North wi'l be forced to
either close up or remove to the South.
This will be tho inevitable result. The
Charleston News and Courier utters a
solemn truth when it says that even in
these depressing times “the Southern
cotton mills continue steadily at work,
although they have declared reduced
dividends,” and avers that “beyond
the depression of business,” of which
mention has been made, the Northern
mills are affected more seriously than
ever by Southern competition. 1 hey are
being driven out of the market by South
ern spinners of heavy goods, and the
time is fast approaching when they will
close up or come iSouth.” And t his is
not onlj/ true of the heavy goods, but
even in the finer fabrics of wool and
cotton, in other portions of the South
than those mentioned by the Charleston
News and Courier. Virginia, Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama are preparing
to embark more largely than over in the
manufacture of cotton goods, in which
they have two important advantages
over the Northern manufacturer, name
ly, in the greater cheapness of labor,
and the saving of transportation, both
in respect to the raw material and their
manufactured product, all of which find
a ready home market. In fact, in the
language of the News and Courier, the
time is last approaching when the North
ern manufacturer must “close up or
come South.” In other words, he will
be compelled to recognize the fact, tar
iff or no tariff, that his very existence
depends upon locating in the vicinity
of raw material, and rely upon fair busi
ness profits, such as shall tend to the
equalization of wealth, and not the
building up of artificial values at the
expense of general prosperity. Con
templating with confidence ti e inevita,.
ble tendency of events, the Memphis
Appeal declares the South has only to
“wait and watch.” No mind can com
prehend her future greatness In less
than twenty years most of the cotton
raised in the South will be manu
factured in the South. A cotton facto
ry in every neighborhood will be as in
dispensable as a cotton gin. When all
the cotton factories of tho North shall
have been transferred to the South,
what a valuable accesssion will be made
to our capital, labor and population. —

Death of Andrew Johnson.
Cincinnati, July 31.- -The Gazette’s
Greenville special says: This morning
at about 2 ex -President Andrew John
son died at the residence ot his daughter,
Mrs. W. R. Brown, formerly Mrs.
Slour, in Carter county, from a paraly
tic stroke. He had been in rather bad
health since the adjournment of the last
session of Congress, but nothing serious
was anticipated. On Wednesday morning
he left on the train for Carter’s Station
and from thence he went on horseback
to his daughters residence, about seven
miles, riding in* the hot sun. Arriving
there he felt very much fatigued, and
the same morning about 4 o’clock his
right side was paralyzed, rendering him
speechless. His wife was with him at
the time. His son Frank and daughter,
Mrs. Patterson, were at once sent lor.
and left Greenville on Thursday.
About noon he became conscious but
had a partial use of his side again, and
it was evident that the Great Commoner
could nof live long; and thus surround
ed by his entire family and neighbor
ing friends, he yielded up the ghost
about two o’clock this morning. The
excitement here and at Knoxville is in
tense. It is expected that a large del
egation will arrive from Kcoxville to
attend the funeral. A public meeting
is in session at the Court House, which
will make an organization to receive
visitors from abroad. The funeral will
take place at Greenville on Tuesday,
August 3d. Several Masonic lodges,
military companies and civil associations
from adjoining towns will join with the
citizens in paying the last tribute to his
remains. The bhdy will arrive here to
morrow. A great many distinguished
citizens from all sections of the United
States are sending telegrams to this
place, stating their desire to be present
at the List sad rites. The family are
greatly overcome with their sad bereave
ment, in which they have the sympathy
of the whole community.
Griat Ivest ruction of Rattle
snakes in the Woods of Peua
sylvania.
SnonoLA Station, July 16.—A
blind man named Henry Qrferidoff, a
native of Wisconsin, and a man named
John Depuy, from the western part of
Ohio, got off an Erie train at this place,
and crossing over into New York State,
stopping over night at Barryville. On
the following morning they recrossed
the river into Pennsylvania, and started
for Shohola Falls, six miles northwest,
at or near which place they had rela
tives residing. Depuy is a great trout
fisherman, and, purchasing a fishing rod
and basket, the two started on their
way, Depuy having concluded to find
the Shohola creek on their way up.
Leaving Shohola they, walked about a
mile when they reached the creek, and
Depuy commenced fishing. He fished
for about three miles,meeting with good
success, when the two coming to an open
spot on the right bank of the stream,
sat down to rest and lunch. While
lunching, Depuy had his attention di
rected to a small ridge of rocks on the
opposite 3ide of the creek, by a peculiar
rattling uoise. He was satisfied that a
rattesnake den was not far distant, and
telling his blind companion of the fact,
Depuy forded the stream. Reaohing
the opposite shore, he walked a few rods
up the hill, when suddenly his atten
tioti was drawn to an old dried limb,up
on which lay coiled a huge rattlesnake.
He halloed to his blind comrade to as
certain whether he was in hearing dis
tance,and receiving an answer he return
ed to assist him across the stream. To
gether the two walked to where Depuy
had seen the rattlesnake, when Orfen
doff sat down. Seizing a stout stick, De
puy approached within reaching distance
and dealt the reptile a sudden blow kill
ing it instantly. No sooner had he kill
ed the snake than Orfendoff called to
him, saying he felt something strange
crawl over his feet. Depuy started to
return to his comrade, when he observed
a huge rattle snake, not ten feet from
where the blind man sat, and another
not three feet away, coiled and ready to
spring. Depuy struck at the furthest
snake, but missed it, the snake escaping
into the rocks. He requested Orfen
doff to remain perfectly quiet while he
slowly approached to within reaching
distance and attacked the reptile. The
snake drew back its head in time to es
cape the blow. Depuy again raised his
stick, but before he could bring it down,
the snake struck the blind man, bury
ing his fangs deep into the fleshy part
of his right leg, just below the knee.
As the snake was about to strike the
second time, Depuy struck it a blow
which killed it. lie then examined
his eompanion. The blood was oozing
from the wound, and the limb began to
swell rapidly. Having heard that fresh
dirt immediately applied to a snake bite
was almost certain cure, he secured
some, and after repeated applications of
this antidote the swelling began to dis
appear, and in about two hours the leg
was reduced almost to its natural size,
and the unfortunate man was able to slow
ly resume his journey. They took a dif
ferent course, and met with no further
mishap until they were about to ascend
a small ledge of rocks near a swamp.
Reaching the summit of the ledge, De
puy again heard the deadly rattle, and
at the base of the hill ho discovered
many poisonous reptiles coiled upon
stones and sticks. The snakes was of
various sizes, f-om two and a half to
four and a half feet in length. He set
to work dispatching them, and in less
than fifteen minut<& he had killed for
ty-nine the rest making their escape
into the rocks and underbush. It was
now getting dark, and having nearly
three miles to go, the two started on
their way to the Falls, which place
they reached without any further ad.
ventures.
Four or five weeks ago, subsequent to
the fires in the woods, seve r al cows and
a number of sheep, while pasturing in
the woods, wandered into these dens
and wero bitten, one cow and three
sheep dying from the bites. The sur
rounding neighborhood is quite thickly
populated, and several persons have
been bitten within the past few years,—

The South. —Speaking of the South,
tne Boston Post says that a fire could not
clean out a doomed territory more com
pletely than the carpet-bag fraternity,
chartered and protected from Washing
ton, devoured the remnant of substances
which was tile South’s only reliance in a
straggle for recovery. But it is every
thing that labor has at last opened its eyes
to the truth, and comprehends the vital
points of the situation. When the blacks
suffer, then they are able to see that it
is because the whits suffered before them
and they reasou very clearly from the
effect to the cause. When they finally
understand that whole States have been
impoverished, whose productive resour
ces once seemed limitless, they are able
to conceive that it was accomplished by
influences from without, that, however
commended to their approbation, have
proved themselves treacherous, destuc
ive and cruel.
A Man Thrown Five Hundred
Feet in the Air. —Six men were killed
by the explosion in Close's paper mill,in
lowa City, lowa, last Thursday. The
siYth was a Scotchman named Walter
Sint,on, who was seen to go up with the
tank and over it an estimated height of
five hundred feet, falling, went through
the roof of tho paint shop,seventy yards
away from the mill, knocking a hole
through the shingles and the inch
sheathing beneath, and breaking two
rafters. He was found lying on the
fiber of tho room beneath. The loss of
Mr. Cloese is about 820,000. It is
decided that it was a chemical explosion.

Cotton Manufacture in the South.
The late reports of the Augusta and
Graniteville factories may discourage
some friends of cotton manufacuring in
the South, but if they will view the mat
ter in all its bearings and surrouudings,
we think they will see that there is no
cause for distrust or desondency. For
nearly two years the country has been
suffering in all its business interests from
a state of depression and stagnation of
a very extraordinary character. W hat
large or general business has pros
pered during this period? \\ hat one
has not had to curtail its operations, or
to see its customary profits almost entire
ly lost? The industry which has during
this period maintained itself in its lull
proportions, even without making any
clear profits, has done well. This the
cotton manufacturing business of the
South has done. The Augusta and Gran
iteville mills,unfavorable as their raports
may seem, have done still better. They
have recently declared quarterly divi
dends of 2 per oent. equal to 8 per cent,
per annum. No doubt they could have
done still better by merely taking care
of the interests of the stockholders—re
ducing wages or shortening the working
tium of their employes. But this they
have not done. With a regard for the
interests of all working for them, which
we hope may ever mark the conduct of
Southern manufacturers, they have re
tained their force and paid living wage
The Augusta company have done still
better—if not for themselves, for opera
tives who work in the mills. They have,
within this period of depression and
stagnation,built another large factory to
give employment to hundreds of additio
nal hands. They may not profit by this
new enterprise and expenditure while
the present unfavorble condition of trade
and industry cotinues, but when prosper
ity returns to other great branches of
business they will be in a position ena
bling them to run smoothly along on the
first swell of the tide and to reap then
the reward to which their enterprise and
liberality gives them a good claim.
The continued activity of cotton man
ufacturing at the South is evidence of its
enduring vitality, and the temporary
suspension of large dividends afford no
cause for alarm. The business is now
firmly established, as its continued act
ivity during times such as these suffi
ciently proves. Such a trial ought to
give it strength and increased confidene
in its permanence and its profits under
more propitious conditions.
