J THE NEW YEAK-1884, Toe year eighteen hundred and eigh ty three is pas V and belongs to history. Another year, a new one, with its ups and downs and whatever fair or adverse fortunes it holds within its lap, . is be .fore ns, untried. . x Every one has bis faults and short comings, and, doubtless, that side of the account in the past vear orycars stands largely ahead of that on which the good deeds are recorded. Deeds of unkind ns and inattention to duty to fellow beings and the Creator compose the lives of many in a great measure. Many have resolved with the new year to turn over a new leaf and? lead different aud more profitable lives in many respects. Let those who have made these good resolutions, whether they have been spoken or registered in the secrecy of their hearts, kep them steadfastly. : There are many ways that one may Improve himself and his condition. It is not necessary to do all for one's self to better his condition. By helping one's neighbors one may help himself. Look after these things and search them out. Work. Wo enter upon the new year , with a fair wind filling the sail of our bark. But the untried seas and storms of the future may cause us to feel fear. The ''fairest ship often meets an ill fate. While all on board arc merry and filled with brightest hopes the fatal rock is struck ; there is a dull crash, a few bub bles, and a drifting wreck is all that re mains. Many a prosperous busincsshas thus suddenly and unexpectedly ended. We hope all our readers and patrons can join with us in feeling no apprchen- cr for collector of internal revmuo the fifth district is now pending before the' SoUttte for tdnfkmatijn.

The most unprovoked and diabolical m Order that tve. have ever heard .of was committed in this county, on last5 Satur day night. The-victim were two old women and a little girl, Mrs. Olive Gun tor nearly SO .yars old,, her daughter,. Miss i :J.uif, about!? 65, aud "her -graiid-daughtfr about 8 years old.

We have obtained a considerable portion of these figures direct from the count ies, and now, in advance'of the Auditor's re port, present them to, our readers. The total valuation foots up the handsome sum of $200,351,745.- The last Auditor's shows that the valuation then, was I THE FIRST LOOM. The building of machinery for manu facturing has just commenced in the the South. On this subject the Char lotte Observer says, very appropriately the following : ' , " The first loom it is stated, ever made in the South was put iD operation at the Atlanta," Ga., cotton factory last week. It was made by the "Georgia Mill Supply Company,'.' and is prorounc ed the best loom in the factory. It is said that these looms, in consequence of cheap material, labor, &c, can be made for less in Atlanta than they can be fur nished by Eastern manufacturers An order has just been-finished for ' fifty looms, and several hundred more have been ordered. We note the .success in this venture with particular pleasure because it is the' beginning of what -we 73S,CS0. - So there has been an Increase in Value under tiienew assessment of $32,613,i00nariy twenty 'pef e'eht.

In political circles this will be a busy year. Thero will be many hotly contest ' cd campaigns and political battles fought. With almost every officer from a township constable to President to be nominated, canvassed for and voted for it cannot be otherwise than busy. We have a hope that thore will be a change in the administration : pf our national government.

A bappy and prosperous New Year to all cur readers aud patrons. have Ions' wished to see. the manufac- sion of misfortune in business during . by th(j gof macMnery used in the Southl and thus, while building up Southern industries, save the vast sums of money that annually go from this sec tion to purchase machinery built else where. At certain seasons of the year there is scarcely a freight train from the North to the South that does not carry more or less of machinery to be used in Southern industries, much . of which could be, and should be, and will be eventually,made in the South, which ha all the material necessary, and lacks only the enterprise to begin the work. We say enterprise because if a determ ined and persistent effort were made the necessary capital would be forthcoming. There are hundreds or manufacturing enterprises in which our - people could engage which would prove remunera tive, aud yet not require a large amount of capital. Look at the buckets tubs, barrels, furniture,- agricultural imple ments, wagons, &c., which are annually shipped from the North, the material for which grows and lays in" lavish abun dance all around us. We see evidences missing. A messenger was immediately sent for the coroner, find soon a crowd of excited neighbors were assembled. Upon the ai rival of the coroner a jury of Inquest was empanelled and viewed the dead bodies. A" few witnesses were esamincd and because of the suspicions excited by their evidence,' three negro men living in the neighborhood and named Lewis Fai rer, Fred Johnson and Frank McClenahan were arrested and confined in jail that night to await a fur ther examination next day. . Next day the jury of inquest met again, and, after hearing all the evidence that could then be obtained, decided there was not suf-' ficient cause for the further detension of the prisoners and they were accordingly released.

One reason may ne in tne laritl, which some political doctors say is too high, and oth ers claim is too low for the best interests of business. But it may be noted that the trade depression exists ; not only throughout this country, but to a great er or less extent throughout the com mercial world. Wherever the traveler goes, to Europe, Mexico, South Ameri ca, the East or the isles of the sea, he hears the same "melancholy burden" to the song of trade ; 'and everywhere'- the same reasons are put forward of over production and over-competition. Too many people wish to live by their brains and too few are willing to accept the obscurity and drudgery of manual labor ; this is certainly one OtHhe chief reasons for1 the evil- complained of. The most obvious means of relief is to. encourage agriculture by wise , land laws, the proper regulatiou of the carrying trade, and the application of science Jo lighten and make interesting the farmer's life. feet high. The train had passed over' he creek but was oh the trestle above "dry) ground, the engine just reaching the embankment when the disuster occur red. The breaking - of the trestle was instantly followed by a trembling a tot tering of the trestle, when the whole thing suddenly collapsed aud five cars , went crashing to the ground below. As the cars went clown, the engine and tender were twisted from the track and rolled down the embankment. The engineer leapedcieai of the wreck, but the fireman, Joe Henderson, was caught under the firebox of t he engine and pin ned firmly to the ground. His cries at tracted the attention of the train hands to his situation and they endeavored to extricate him from . his frightful jposl lion, but soon found that they c$uld do nothing. The red -hot fire box was press ing the unfortunate man's body into the Ground. The fire, was frying his body, yet he retained his souses, and called upon t he nien to get him out. , "...
