The Recent Priamry. th Editor The Bamberg Herald: tr< Surely, everything in this world has a ra use and our recent State campaign ho has been no exception to this rule. In just such crises as these types are ut developed which have heretofore is either lain dormant or have never te: ? existed before, weaknesses and vul- f0; nerable points in our political morals a become clearly visible and are inten- ch sified by comparison. Another thing e(j which has stood out clearly and con- a . . vincingly to the one who has given f0] the subject even small study is the th; fact that every man has his price, r0i > somewhere, somehow. To illustrate r0J this fact we do not have to seek be- "t| yond the confines of our own imme- ga diate vicinity. Look about you and at see how many of your neighbors fit ha this Hpsrrintion. Here is a man, let ns. us say, who has been the trusted ser- on vant o? the public for many years, hdlding and enjoying the emoluments an of an office which is, perhaps, the tin - most powerful and most important an one in the gift of his constituents, a th< man whose every act socially has been fU? above reproach, whose official acts would bear the closest scrutiny with- su out detriment to himself and a man th: to whom we would all instinctively de turn in a crisis for patriotic leader- w ship. Years may pass without any W? disturbing element appearing in our an body politic and this man's hold on w the public confidence is undisturbed. Ea The test does come bye and bye and Tu .. then let us see how our trusted ga friend measures up to our standard vil of patriotism. The shrewd demagogue, taking advantage of a listless an and unsuspecting public, sees an op- be portunity for attaining some selfish raambition by arraying class against jn class and steps into the limelight and en proceeds to appropriate to himself the tei support of honest men who, in their g] bewilderment incident to a sudden be awakening from lethargy, belieye th< that their rally is to a patriotic cause. gr What should our trusted and honored 0f fellow citizen do under such circumtr? nn to our stand- -m ard of patriotic endeavor? Should an he not be the fifst to use his hold its upon the public confidence and his in- stj fluence with his constituency to re- tw store them to the sane and proper ro, way of thinking, to disillusion those th< who are deluded by the demagogue's jnj ringing and adroitly veiled appeal to tu; prejudice when a misstep might th< plunge an entire commonwealth into to1 chaos? We are all of one mind there. g0 We say he should. Let us see then i?j how this theory works out in prac- pe tice. We will assume that in the se} past this peace-destroying dema- gj. gogue has had occasion to be of ser- an vice to this particular citizen in ques- ze] ? tion; perhaps through the exercise ijn of executive clemency, as in case of t0 a governor, which has been extended <je to some member of this citizen's th< family whether closely or distantly r0. related, the merits of which case thi need not be discussed because the -gr principle involved is not affected f0] thereby, and let us assume that it is wjmerely hinted that the granter of Ch; this "favor" will expect in return t0| for that which is not salable under Qr the law this citizen's suffrage and gj. influence. Does our much honored . g citizen refuse this offer of a bribe? toi History says he does not. The dem- jn agogue has found his vulnerable th< point and pays his price. Our hon- ca ored citizen becomes a bribe-taker tj1( and sells his political birthright for a mess of pottage. And what a price ca he pays! He gives in return for th< that to which he is entitled, if his ha cause is a just one, something which ga is not even his own but which is an given him a-s a sacred trust, he sac- bu rifices his own self respect by fore- be: ing down his own throat that which t I y is abhorrent to'him personally in or- r0l der to feel that he has discharged to an illegal obligation which he has be taken upon himself. Would that ro. these men were as zealous in dis- pj( charging obligations of patriotism. ijD What are we coming to, or at what stc have we arrived? tei WILLIAM C.

It was found 1c at the best and most economical fi ate followed closely the old stage n ad known then, as by many now, as tl be State Road," which ran through .rnwell and crossed Turkey Creek "the old Ford," where the gray ired men of Barnwell, as boys, ed to have a swimming hole like e now in use near the bridge. b! When the survey was completed d the rights of way were solicited u e too conservative land owners in d around Barnwell (there were y en as now some of that class) re- g) sed peremptorily to part with the p; jht of way at any price and the n rvey had to be changed to run I rough the lands of the late Alexanr Black, nine miles north of Barn- ci ill, and the good town of Blackville a! is initiated, as likewise Williston d Elko (nee Ninety-Six) to the j* est and Graham's Turn Out, now ist Denmark or Sato, and Lowry's C] irn Out, now flourishing and lively pi .mberg, on the East side of Black- li; le. In the course of time it was seen h< d felt that a grievous error had en made in rejecting the steam = ilway and to repair the blunder or a measure mitigate its evil results, terprising citizens of Barnwell deunined to build a branch road to ackville and the grading of it was gun just prior to the War between e States and completed during the st year of that war. At the end the war Barnwell found herself :e the rest of "the prostrate State," ined and almost wiped off the map, d the Barnwell Railroad, or rather roadbed, remained there a conmt reminder to the wayfarer beeen the thriving town on the rail- i ad and the dead inland village of 9 folly of our forefathers in havl rejected the good gift that forne sent us in 1832. But along in 9 eighties our hustling fellow ivnsman, J. Whilden Woodward, t possesion of the old roadbed and d a- tramway on it and operated a rilious and uncertain schedule for reral years between Barnwell and ackville. Later by the? finesse d able management of another citii of Barnwell the Old South Caroa Railway Company was induced purchase the tramway from Whil- ? n Woodward and iron the road. It sn became "the Barnwell Railid." Later, the S. C. Railway sold is branch to the late Col. Mike own, who owned and operated it several years. The same citizen 10 caused the S. C. Railway to pur- ase the tramway from Woodward, ;ether with Capt. D. H. Sally, of angeburg county, projected the , ackville, Alston and Newberry R. , which with the aid of Charlesi capitalists was built to Seivern Aiken county and combined with 1 a Barnwell Railroad became "the 1 rolina Midland" until absorbed by , a Southern Railway. But before the acquirement of the ,rolina Midland by the Southern 3 same citizen above referred to as 1 ving negotiated the sale of the i rnwell Railroad to the S. C. Ry., , d the formation of a syndicate to ( ild the Blackville, Alston and Newrry R. R., projected and got a char to build "the Southbound Rail- 1 ad" from Savannah to Columbia ' pass through Barnwell, the object i ing to induce one of the big railad systems of the South to comite the work and take in the Caroa Midland R. R., considerable )ck in which he owned. This en-prise succeeded also, as did the o above named. How it was acmplished, as well as what bearing ese reminiscences have upon the esent, will be told in another arle.?"A", in the Barnwell People. TWO KILLED IX WRECK.
