The Columbus Enquirer says tho South is poor, not because we barer less thrift or intelligence than other; sections, but because ve do not; wisely use our gifts. The profits of our labor go to enrich' Europe and the North and. West. Though our f cotton money amounts annually; to hundreds of millions,; it must go abroad to pay for almost everything we eat and wear. Perhaps a hun dred millions go to Europe, France: and Germatry for extravagant dres-j Bing and fancy goods, twice as much more to the West to pay for. provisions; furniture, etc Our ag ricultural implements are nearly all made abroad, now much' goes to Cincinnati for whiskey t Howi much to Tennessee; and i other! States for guano, hay, dressed poulf try, pork and Bolgna sausage t Why cannot our- farmers j raise , poultry," aud why not our butchers make as good sausage as Tennessee 1 or any other State t Thus in thousands of waysour profits are! borne away and i we are left without money, completely at the mercy of those upon whom we are dependent. It is time our people were reflecting seriously upon their vassalage' and turning their attention to ways and means to prevent the outflow of money from our midst. Let us en courage home production in every possible way, for onlyi by so doing can we hope to regain our former , position of wealth and indepen in (( (( U it 11 tl Admr Julias A Gray Charles E Shober a it a Jesse H Lindsay Agent U ll U ti l( it $ 1,497 14 ! 113 1395 ! 2,500 288 J 132 86 233 260 35 1,818 718 19 804 04 340 GO $ 12,1G0 18 Report of Building Committee. To to the Board of Commistioners of Guil ford County .' Your Committee having charge, of re building the Court House respectfully report that the House ia about completed, with the exception of the Cupola. The several items of expenditure are herewith submitted, amounting to the sum of $16, 892.15. In addition the Cupola is contracted for. to be put up of iron lor $2,800. The Committee consider that it was good economy, as well as good taste, to re build according to the original, elegant architectural design. So far as any im provements in material or detail have been made, the committee availed them selves of the skillful service of A. Y. Lee, architect, of Richmond, Va. - j It wan deemed best to make the roof and cornice oTmetal, thereby exposing as little wood as possible to fire from without. Nothing but the window frames are liable to be set on fire from the outside ; and they may be preserved by proper watch fulness; or. indeed, they might burn out without substantial injury to the builing. The metal wotk is necessarily more costly than wood ; but the additional security from fire, and durability under the weath er will in the end more than compensate for the additional cost.' i ' In consideration that a wooden tower is liable to take fire from burning material lodging upon projections that cannot be reached, wnd that numerous instances of the kind have occurred in other towns, the committee thought best to construct the Cupola of galvanized iron, and have made a contract accordingly. ) Owing to circumstances beyond their control, the work could not be got up before cold weather set in, and now cannot, probably, be completed before the opening of spring. The Interior has been re-arranged, with a view to greater convenience, larger ac commodation, and -improved; hearing. The latter, it is believed, may be further improved by curtains at tho wjndows. The whole work has teen faithfully and substantially done not withja view to the saving of expense alone, bat without extravagance ; and with a desire to ex ercise that true economy which may be satisfactory to the pufclic judgement and taste.
