teriee in the Southern Country. Such' is
the fact, in ihe establishment of Meters.
Goran, Cox A MaaaLRT. and we know we
will interest Ihe public by giviag them e
short stst'io'Dl of its history. i
Over thirty five year# ago, in the spring '
of 18914. Mr. Thomas M. Cox. a native o1
Charleston, commenced the business, and
continued alone for several years. He then
was joined by Mr. J?hm Marklrt, Sen., (the
venerable, faiher of Messrs. Henry C. and
Tnos. C. MaRKLST, two of the present proprietors.)
who also conducted the establish
mrnt for a number of years. Greenville^
at that time, although a small place, gave
erldences of importance and had begun
thus early to attract men of enterprise and
business character. The Carriage and Wagon
Making busine** increasing, Messrs ?.
N. and T. C. Gower, gentlemen of great
practical knowledge and managing tact.
fVom the North, were associated with M-s
era Cox A Marklrt. The tirue covering
maybe s doseu yeais succ-eding this, this
establishment went forward with a prosperity
and increase of work, that wan quits
gratifying to its proprietors, and in the
building up of which began to show its effect
upon the future of the town. They
not only found it profitable 'in a finan
cial way, but began to build up a reputation
that was quite enviable; for, we believe,
it was then the largest of the kind in
lbs upper part of the State. Messrs. Hem
m W f* an. \ TttnUil I! MiRIttT flOllfl of nnP
Ot lite fonndeis of the original firm, were
Ubi-qnently made copartner*. From thattime
to the breaking out of the war, their
history wai a aeriea of annual successes, aa
**t?ry department of the factory was con
dilated with a *y?t?m of rigoroua manage
ment that vat a model for completeness and
efficiency. Under such control, tui ning out
work known and acknowledged for lis au*
periority, their trade inci eaeed rapidly and
ateadily, until the commencement of the
war, when it had reach* d neat ly $100,000
per annum.
During the l<me of hostilities, little of
nothing was dune in the way of advance
ment. Two or more of the proprietor'
were in the service. AM of the work on
hand when the war opened, amounting we
believe to some $30,000 or $40,000, whs
taken by the Confederacy, for which they
received nnth ng. In addition to this, a
good deal of woik was done during the
years 1863, J 864 ai)d lite early part ol
1865, war material, ftir which they likeWise
received nothing.
When the war closed, being prostrated
and" largely in debt, thev fe't mucb embarrased.
But an indomitable energy has
restored the factory since tl os? gloomy days
of 1866, and its conductors, by unremitting
industry, have replaced themselves in the
front rank of manufacturing eslabliehmens
in the Slates sooth of Delaware.
The concern is now conducted with an outlay
of near $75,000, and employ over seventy
persons ; these, with their families, are sustained
by this truly valuable establishment.?
The demand for their vehicles was so great
last year that they were more than fifty orders
behind, until spring.
They continually manufacture Buggies,
Sockaways snd light frur-seat vehicles, of all
kinds, both plain and elegant, and get up to
order any style desirable. Their carriage repository
is a ptaee of interest, and those visiting
it, are pleased and delighted. They also

which they are specially noted in this
State, Georgia and Florida; in tbia class of
vehicles they excel all other makers. A recant
visit ever tbeir premises, fully confirms
in our opinion tbeir claims of workmanship.
Another feature in tbia establishment. They
keep always on band large supplies of inntcri
al, such as spokes, hubs and lumber, vast
stores of which is half prepared; part of thig
is from eight to ten years old, therefore well
seasoned and superior. We think we have

the roanafaetory of Massrs. G?wer, Cox A '

to estimate them accordingly, not only for 1
what tbey contribute to tbe prosperity of our '

We append the remarks of the Republican.
Afler noticing and denying some statements
of the Courier, that paper says : >
"But there was gross fraud in tome peris
of the Btato.i And in the election law lies the
possibility of frauds ten times as great as any
committed at the recent eleotion?such, in
fact, as would render ah election actually and
truly a costly farce.
"Therefore we urj^e thtf immediate rimend
ment or repeal of tbe tiw. Mot a single flection,
even to All A vacancy, should be held
under It.. "
" The first and essential change is in the
time end manner of the oount. The connt
should be commenced on tbo spot immediately
after the polls are closedr and ahoatd be publicly
made, and the result ptibliely declared.
Tbe ballots should tben be put back into tbe
boxes?the boxes sealed?and tbe boxes, the
poll books, and the declared resn.t immediately
transmitted to the County Commissioners
or Canvasser*. Tbe boxes should then be
properly guarded until a new and com pic to
count is made.
"With this and other amendments we ean
be perfectly snre of a fair election, and in no
other way. To a fair election both pastie*
and all tbe peoplo are entitled. Without it*
Republicanism is no better than tyranny?in )
fact is a despicable tyranny."

James A. Iloyt, Esq., of Anderson?who
was on board the unfortunate train?gives
the following info' mation :
The a?<-ident occurred at Cedar Creek
trestle, in 5100 yards ol the bridge over Ce.
dar Creek, at half past 3 o'clock I'. M. The
engine passed over safely, and when the
weight of the entire train W:'? upon the
trestle, that structure gave way, and precipitated
the baggage car, second class passenger
car and the foremost pa*8enger coach
into the cba?m. The second passenger
coach, oocipied chiefly hy ladies and their
attendants, was perforce thrown into the
wreck, nnd those in the front part of it were
buried beneath the rubbish. The sufferers
hy the accident were mostly in the second
class ear and the foremost passenger ear, al?
thorgh four or five persons were injured in
the Indies conch.
The engineer had slacked up to cross over
the bridge, and was just beginning to increase
the rate of peed when the crss|,
came. But. for this, fac', the loss of life and
limb would have been fearfully increased,
as the train had been running st fifteen
miles an hour, and was behind lime. In
less time than It. takes to record it, there
was a scene of indescribable suffering and
agony. Anxious, inauiring faees among the
fortunate, and shriek* for help among the
wounded, revealed a terrible scene. Thoae
who escaped injury were at once rescued
from the debri*. and the work began of ex-?
tiicaiing the dead and wounded. The meo
were cool and calm in the diechaig>* of th-lr
duty, and the women behaved nobly Bveyj
assistance was almost instant y render,
ed to the sufferers, and all united in the
utmost exertions to alleviate the pangs of
the maimed and dying.
Dr. O. B Mayer, of Newberry, was tbe
only physician on board, and actively cn
gaged his valuable services for the relief of
those most in need. He was without
means, however, as there were no romed'aj
appliances at hand, and there was no
dwelling in the immediate neighborhood.
The accident'might hsve oeenrred at ahy
time, as the trestle was positively dangerous,
sccording to the judgment of Wellinformed
persons whose attention had been
previously called to it The train would
not have been as heavy as many freight
iruins passing almost daily. Aooqi one
hundred an<| twenty persons were on tuarJ
Ihe train, and it is miraculcwt that so few
acre wounded or killed. None realised
the danger until *11 was over, and there
lever wm aueh a reariui scene pernaj?
which the participants acted so deliberateT
and with such apparent preeehrc of
nind. The chaain was not over twenty
eel deep, nor more than forty wide, and in*
ai thla apace waa ushered a mess of human
haingt, eovered hy the falling timbers and

The unlimited right to charge and en
force any amount of interest, is injurious to
the prosperity of the State. It prevent* the
?s? of money in productive employments,
and beeps up a feverish desire for procuring
high rates of interest, which only those engaged
in mere speculation, or persons in ]
ratlior slt'Sperale Oircum*tanees, will engage ,
to pay. Instead of circulating money free, i
ly, under the present laws, it ia hoarded
more than ever, whiting chunees for high i
interest. It? Store the old law and things I
would brighten at. once. As soon as the
hope of chances for extravagant interest are l
exiinguii-hed, money would he loaned freely 1
to sa'e hands for investment* in productive
industry, or expended in manufacturing on
terprisea, the purchase of lands, agi icultu- 1
| ral improvements, <tc., ?fcc. The repeal of
the usury laws has brought no eapital into
the State, as was expected. What we want (
is confidence More capital would be
brought into the State and circulated under
the old system titan under the new. Capi* ,
tulists are justly afraid to trust a people w ho ,
are willing to give extravagant rates of in^ |
tereat. Speculation does not enrich the i
State, neither does the payment of high in t
t-reat do it?it only transfers money from i
ona to another?and if the eapital belongs 1
to persons out of the State, it ia a serious 1
drain.
We havs reason to heliere that onr
Greenville delegation will favor a repeal of ]
the act of 1866. We had the satisfaction of (
learning from new members of the L*gi?ln ,
ture of other eoanties that they will vote (
for its repe-tl. We can speak emphatically
of Anderson, and must believe that tha
feeling ia gmeral. Kvery srieod of the pro j
duotive industry of the State will favor re' i
peal, in our judgment. Experience bis

From Pkattix of Ttutday. I
On Sunday mornh-g last, we paid a visit
to the scene of the recent fatal disaster on j
the Greenville A Columbia Railroad; and '
after a careful examination, in oompany 1
with several experienced railroad men, u..? (
connected with the company, wc were
forced to the conclusion that the accident 1
resulted from lha breaking of a wheel on 1
the tender ; and that the company la not in j
the lea*t blameable. As the broken tender
'ell upon the tiestle it caught in the crosstiee,
dragged and amashed the timbers, and (
the oars rtowding forward, the whole *
structure gave way with a snddea era?h,
precipitating a stock car, (loaded wish nineteen
head of eat tic.) baggage and express
ear, second class ao<1 first class passenger
ears into tho chasm. The forward track of ]
one ol tho new first class conch<-a went t
over, and the end of the oar atuck into tha
ground; bat owing to its great strength, it '
was only partially broken, and remained 1
wedged, preventing the rear passenger ear "
from going over, nod thus, doub'leea, saving '
the Uvea of many of the passengers. The ^
sudden jerk threw the locomotive off the
' .. i p
track just beyond the trestle^ Pnseengers
on board state that the train was running
P
at the ordinary speed, before reaching the
trestle, and they feel positive, that speed 0
"?*s decreased. The wood with which the j|
trestle was hi lit, was examined and found n
in uood order, and all, with the exception of c
the broken -timbers, were used in^ ra erect
iog ttie structure, though they have on
hand large quantities of material, as'the entire
road is being overhauled. The tr-stie
was over 100 feat fn length and about 25
feet high in the centre. It had been overhauled
last year, and new timhera put in
where was deem-n noces?ary. The proof of
its strength was lh? safe passage of the loco
motive?the heaviest portion of the train?
across the trestle, and it was only thrown
off by the jar or concussion of the falling .
train. An old car belonging to the South
Carolina Ralhoad was smashed into thou,
sands of pieces. The damage has been
repabed, and trains now run straight
through without detontion. There was actually
no interruption to paveag-*, atthera w a
a transfer at the break. The officers of the
road have been unremitting in their attentions
(o the injured.
The Usury Question.
Wo have recently stated objections and
some reasons for restoring I lie old laws of
this State against usury. A repeal of the
net of 18f>6 is imperitively demanded. (in
our humble opinion ; nnd we rejo'ce to
know that many of the newly elected members
of the I.cgirlatnie are for going back to
J the old system, which still prevails in near[
ly every single Slate of the Union.

ifeirr*. Editor*?In my last communication,
! bad arrived at Chattanooga, which is one of
be moat crooked, badly constructed cities
hat is to be met with along the whole route!
t is black, smokey and dirty, and about
be last place, I think, in this world, tbat I
rould desire to live in. Here tbey are buildng
a very handsome and commodious hotel,
0 bo called after its owner, the " Staunton
louse." We waited here for the starting of
he train to Memphis, about throe boura,
rhich we spent in walking about over the
lace as far as we could. Lookout Mountain
1 about seven miles from the oity, and has
f late become quits a resort, I am told, for
he pleasure seekers during the rammer
lonths. There is said to be quite a raagnifient
hotel ou its summit, where rest mny be
Dund for both mnn and beast. Near the city
lso Is a national cemetery, which, from itr
landsome appearance, as viewed from the
rain, seems to be well attended to, and is also
i strong evidence, and reminder of tin fact?
hat the "boys in gray" did ycoasens servire
1 this Western country. Wo leave Cha.taonga
at 8 o'clock in the evening, and have
ttached to our train another of those bandnroo
Pultnan sleeping conches, where a man
'an "pay bis money and take his choice;"
md as we have to travel a night and a day,
bo distance being about three hundred miles,
e in no danger of being disturbed in his nnp.
Jpon this road, ws pass over some of wbat is
aid to lie the finest of this western country,
n the neighborhood of Uuntsvillc, Ala.,
tut at night we bad no opportunity of ocular
lemunstrntiou ; some that wo did see, however,
m the succeeding day, bad all the appearance
)l a very fine country. Along this line op
tiad, also, is to be found names familiar to all
n the lato struggle; such as Grand Junction
ind ethcrr* And here, almost at the very
ilaco where he surrendered up his life, a wiling
sacrifice upon the altar of his country,
ine can easily imagine that be liebolds the
lold and precrlsss Albert Sidney Johnson, as
to moves with his devoted hand of patriots,
o meet the serried columns of the enemy.?
IVc arrived at Memphis ai 4 or 5 o'clock, and
repaired at once to the Commercial Hotel,
where, after wo had taken a wneh, to rid as of
Ihc d 11 *t of travel, in sovno of the dirtiest water
that you ever saw, we went to take a
bird's eye view of the city. You know the
reputation which the city of Memphis hoar"
lor lawlessness and violence, hut from our
short experience bcre, it presented so quiet
and orderly an appearance, that we were
somewhat surprised. It is a compactly liuilt
place, with some very pleasing attempt* at
architectural display, with well paved streets.
Don thing it lacks, is good water and waterworks
Down near the river, wo were shown
? small tank, into which water was thrown
from tha river by a still smaller engine, and
we were informed, that from this small tank,
the city was supplied with all.the water it
used, except what was drawn from cisterns.?
Here at Memphis, we witnessed tbo funeral
obsequies in honor of our beloved and venerable
General, Robert Edward Lee. The procession
was one of the largest we ever beheld,
occupying one hoar in passing any given
point, and was composed of all the dignitaries
if the State i.nd city, the various schools op
the city and the different civil and military
irgunizations, besides hosts of carriages and
sitisens on horseback. The ladies of the city
seits handsomely represented, and the most
beautiful feature of the whole, was an cotire
school of young ladies, marching on foot, in
the procession. After parading the principal
streets, the procession bo'ook itself to the
court square, where a suitable address was
delivered.
In Memphis, we met your old fellow-eitisen,
Major Robert P. Duncan, who is aa handsome
ind genial aa it ia possible to be, and who bad
nany inquiries to make in regard tobia friends
it home; for a South Carolinian, emigrate
where ha may, has no other home toan South
Carolina. CIVIS.
