tared iuto, and the work will be begun ao
oon the counties, town*, and people
long the lino of Ibe Road from Charlotte
to the Georgia liuo, uudke a cash aubseription
to the capital stock of the Company to
the amouot of $700,000, to be paid in quar
terly instalments dbriog the next two
years. ** The
foregoing important and highly grstif|ylng
(information was plaoed in our handa
by one of oar beat and most enlightened
citizens, who hat been all the time an ardent
and zealous friend, and one who kespa
well posted in what is doing of the AirLine
Railroad. The duty of the people in
the Counties of Greenville, Pickens, Ooonee,
and Anderson, and in Spartanburg and
York, is now maoifest. The amount of
$700,000 can be easily made op in theee
Counties, when we oonsider what has already
been done. We cannot think tbera
will be now a failure of the Road, for we
eannot suppose that the people of the up
per part of South Carolina eao be no insensible
to their interest as to neglect the op*
portunity of securing this great thoroughfaro
of travel and trade, with its vast incidental
advantages of increased populfttioa
nnu yniue 01 land, ana consequent greater
prosperity in every pursuit.
The course to be pursued wo will not attempt
to suggest, bat we trust meetings on
the subject will be promptly celled in ell
the Counties named. Nol only these Counties,
but Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry,
Union, Fait field and Cheater, would all feel
the benefits of the Air-Linn Road passing
through this region. It would bring immigrants
with it, who would spread out in
every direction, and the increased wealth
of the country would benefit the whole
State in relieving the burdens of taxation
and other wave, socially and politically.?
We should expect Virginians, Pennsylvanians
and others, more or lesa, from the
North-east to follow this great thoroughfare,
and we should, in a few years, perhaps,
witness an immense increase of valuable
population.
Spartanburar Court?The Juries Scale
Old Debts Fifty per Centum.
About 160 cases on the issue Docket have
I..... .1 ..J .. r - i .1. - o 1 r* .
i.rrn ii.wpim.-ii UI III tu< l-p? I" I BII OH Tg UO?n,
some of which have hem on docket more
than ten years, at -which Judge Orb presides.
Until this term, only one Issue has
been tried since 1881. Ante war debts are
reduced to one-half of principal and- interest,
and debt's during the war are redaced
to the value of the consideration in good
money at the time of the contract, Interest
added, and then divided by two. The abovo
facts we gAther from the Spartan, which
comments on the result of the action of the
juries, and says " the policy it adopted by a
jury oj honett and intelligent men." We give
the Spartan'i remarks:
"The expediency of this rule, as applied
to the whole community, we believe, Is almost
universally conceded, and we hope
that the isolated cases whose Interest may
be seriously damaged by its adoption, will
find n compensation for their individual
sacrifice in the advancement of the general
prosperity. The principal argument urged
by its ad vocates in support of this policyis,
that at the time these contracts were
made, the credit given to the debtor was
based upon certain property in possession
of the debtor, and that he has been divested
of more than half of that property without
any fault or neglect on his park
" The policy is adopted by a jury of lion
est and intelligent men, and will probably
be the rule by which all such contracts will
hereafter he settled."
The Orand Jury also recommended In its
report the scaling of old debt# fifty per oen
turn.
The Cinchona or Quinine Tree.
We hope the able articles of Mr. Lsan
, _,i.:?i. i ~ .? 1 i_ ?i
F.iitrrprite, on lite cultivation of the Cincho
tin, from the hark of which quinine i* manufactured,
will attract attention in tlia right
quatters. Mr. Gibbon is a competent, judgewe
are satisfied, as to the fitness of the soil
and climate of this part of South Carolina,
for the growth of the Cinchona. We trust
that l>y another year an experimental plan
talhon of this valuable and profitable tree
may be started on some ef our mountain
slopes. If success should attend the experi
ment, of which there would seem no reasonable
doubts, tlie mountain land hi this ration
which liavo hem considered of very i
little raise will be found capable of producing
much greater returns than the best bottoms
It will only lake a few years' time
to test the matter. We trust that Mr. Gra
bon will succeed in directing the attention
vl the United States Agricultural Bureau to
this section for exneriments with the ftln
chona.

The Yorkvfllb Xnquirer concludes a sensible
article on tbis subject with the following
just observations:
"Wo hope our readers will meditate trpon
this subjeot. If tbey desire to cement the
tiea of intereat and good will between themselves
and the colored race, they oan do so in
no bettor manner than by showing an interest
in and encouraging colored schools. The negroes
are determined to cdweato their children,
and the white people of each locality are tbo
proper persons to teach the -colored children
of that locality. The expenses of tbis work
will be paid by them, as the pay for free
schoofs come# out of the county taxes. They
have it in their power to see that this money
ia used for promoting good-will between sdl
races here ; bnt if they prefer, it will be paid
to those who will exert the powerful influence
ot an instructor to make the colored people
distrust their white neighbors. Which ahail

Rer. B. F. 'Whittetnore, lata Member of
Congress from tbe First Congressional
District of South Carolina.
Wii ittrmohb was convicted of salliDg tha
appointment of a cadet-ship, and the committee
in Congress unanimously reported him for
expulsion as unworthy of a seat, for the corrupt
act. Be aesigned, and a resolution of censure
was passed by Congress. Notwithstanding
the unanimous decision of his own party
in Congress that he was unworthy to represent
an constituency, said Whittxuorb has
returned home and declared hftnsclf a can*
didate for re-election, and ia going about making
speeehaa and persaading the freed men to
rote for him. According to the newspaper
reports from his district, be has se far met
with small enconragoment. Capt. T. . Dust,
now a oitizen of Ilorry Connty, has been nominated
in opposition to WairraMORa. Dumh
is described as a man of good character, a republican
in politics ; he was a citizen of Mas
sachusctts till the close of tho war. He moved
to Horry County, in this State, in 1865,
purchased land, and Is an extensire planter*
and has identified himself with the interest of
the people of South Carolina, and appears to
have tha confidence of all parties. Several
prominent gentlemen of Horry County hare
put forth a circular addressed to the people of
the first Congressional District, urging thorn
to support the election of Capt. Duau, in opposition
to WniTTmoRE. If be succeeds in the
election, it will evince a healthy condition of
nnhi;* - ' ? *
, >1 vv mirKiuKI succeeds,
it will show that the oolorod voters in that
District care nothing for the misconduct of
thair representatives, and oan be influenced to
vote for a man declared unworthy by his own
party. It is a test question as to the capacity
and disposition of the freedmen to rightly
exercise their new privilege of voting.
"Whlttemore'a Son.
The Chesterflold Democrat gives a statement
ot how a fellow imposed on a number of ne- 1
groes in Marlborough. Read it, it is the most
barefaced thing wo have heard of.
' We are informod that a fellow made his '
appearance in Marlborough the other day ear- '
i rying with him a large quantity of painted ,
surveyor's pins and a measuring line, who told
the negroes he was Whittemore's son, and
his father bad sent him to lay off, in small
tracts, some land he had purchased for them
with the proceeds of the cadet-ship. He named
the parties from whom the lands were purchased,
but said he must have fifteen dollars
for locating each tract, in advance. In tbii
way he gathered a large mm of money, and
having borrowed a suit of clothes, to be returned
next Saturday, left his dupes for a season.

was resolved and adopted, that s Conven- 1

It ia especled that the four Sunday
Schools in Greenville will each send a representative

Fresh, pure air is a vitalizing elixir.
Whoever ia debarred by circumstances from
unrestricted aeeesa lo this invisible, but
powerful stimulant, needs a medicinal in

and regulating medicines of the
present day. To the wants of persona engaged
in indoor employments, especially in
crowded faetories where even with the bast
possible ventilation the atmosphere ia al
ways in iom? degree polluted, thia salubrious
vegetable Ionic is peculiarly adapted.
The nature of the ingredients ia no mystery.
It conaieta of aq absolutely pure diffusive
atimulant, tinetnred?or rather auroharged
? with the fluid extracts of aanatona roota
and harks and herbs Tha pharmacopoeia
haa ita tinctures, but what are thaj f The
iuieeof only a single root or hark or plant
is present in each. Not one of tbem combines
the three properties of a tonio, an alterative,
and an aperient All these elements
are blended in the Bitters ; nor are
these the sum of its medioinal recommendations.
It la alao a blood deporent and an
antispasmodic.
The baleful efTsot which air that baa been
partially exhausted of ita oxygen by frav
quent breathing prod noes on tha vital organisation,
ia notorious, and whan to this
devitalised atmosphere la superadded the

deleterious and depreaaing In tha extreme.
To eaeble the system to beer up,

debilitating influence of a vitiated atmosphere,
a wholesome tonio and alterative le
urgently required. Thisgrand desideratum
is supplied in Uostetter's Betters, which as
