Tho I toads between this p ant ami 4'har!e.?tou wero of the poorest stsid of the! most rickety kind, and tho equipments' In roaches and engines were unworthy of j s? decent road.

To make a trip to Charleston then cost a figure much higher than it now costs to go and return quickly with comfort and safety. Under the old management did not the South Carolina Knilroad take the earnings of the Greenville and Columbia road to keep up the South Carolina road, and its hosts of sinecures, superannuated beneficiaries, the running expenses, and other outlays? fiimnntravs Vif?rn was an obioKion af>je rule of promotion of employees in tlio railroad business. Then it was considered a reproach for a respectable young man to take the place of brakeman. Then the good places were too often piven to the incompetent and helpless relatives of influential friends. Now. men who get goo?I jilnces must rise by promotion from the humblest beginning. The rule being now to promote according to capacity, integrity and application to business, the friendless boy is stimulated to strive for proferment Tins change is both healthful and beneficial. For forty-eight years ever}' bag of c<>t'ton that was shipped to Charleston wa* taxed from Iwc-ntv-Hve cents to lifty cuius, to support an army of draymen in Charleston. This tax alone on the farmers of South Carolina would amount to a sum sulBciout to pay the present debt of tho State. Abbeville lias annually shipped to "Charleston, for the last thirty years not loss than twenty thousand bales?or in thirty years G()?),000 bales, each bale ol which was taxed not less than twentyfive cents for the benefit of the draymen ?or in a grand total?Abbeville county has in thirty years paid ?! "*(>,flOO of tribute to Charleston. Now, when this tribute by law is no longer obligatory and when tho enterprise of the Railroad corporations in this State has opened up a cheaper transportation for our cotton to the wharves in Virginia, a great line and cry conies from Charleston demanding a law which will prevent our people from getting cheap' rates of freight for their cotton, and which law it is demanded shall go further and virtually force our cotton to that city to be handled there l?y people whose business capacity is unequal to the task o! inducing tiado to that mart through the ordinary channels <if businc-s. S >r?ifi of us have not forgotten the inability of the old regime to carry oil' our cotton crop, and it is remembered that every inch of ilie platform at our depot and much of tiie surrounding mud, was at times piltd high with cotton waiting f hiptuent. And it is a fact that at one time il:e llailroad authorities refused f ven to receipt for cotton, until the platiyrui could Lie cleared. .It is n >t forgotten that under l?odawcad's cmtrarie^, and perhap* instructions from Charleston, that this Itoad refused and negketed to pay their bill 01 freights with tho Air Line Uoul. As a i consequence, our citizens were conipeil -ed to semi the amount of the accumuliitccl freight bills to their Air Line t3oj?ot at Greenville before tint Koad would lmitrusl xlio freight to tiie (Jreouvillo ami Columbia iluiiroad. It is also a well established fact that it required an huh iiuilo time to get the ^oods which our people might order irom a distance. It is not to be forgotten that perishable goods too often "perished." It is not to be forgotten that under the old government the plebeian employees "were kept six months behind with tlmir pay?no matter how promptly tlio kidiilove gentry of the load were paid. 'it is a matter of faet that the old road subjected our citizens, who sold theui wood, to the greatest annoyance ami inconvenience. Wo all remember, under the old regime, that the newspapers from Charleston were always two days old when they reached Abbeville. Some of us recollect that ear loud* ol certain merchandise I'rmn Chnrleston were charged st ninety dollars a car load j to Abbeville, when a carload of the samel merchandise was being shipped to Greenville for forty-five dollars. Some of tis have not forgotten that under the old regiuia the schedules and business of this road were arranged so that! we got no practical good from the Air I,ine Itoad. Some of us have not forgotten that Dodamead, in order to spite the Air Line Road and to prevent us from being benefitted by it,charged us seventy dollars for a car load of freight from Greenville, when ho was at that t^me bringing t!i? fatne merchandise from Columbia to Abbeville for less than one-third of that sum. Our Hail roads were managed by the people of Charleston for more than a j /quarter of a century, and if any ini-j t in fiw? silled, in the comfort. piWWUI^HV <u %..w - | in the safo'y, or in the expense of travel or freight was ever marie in that time, the fact has not yet transpired. Wo have not forgotten the arbitrary) rnariagemeut which controlled onr road SO long to our detriment. j As Hail road managers, we submit that the peoplo of Charleston have proved themselves to Lo behind this progressive! age. And wc would not return lo the old sys- I iem. But now the Charleston Exchange, j with a great flourish of trumpets,! in beautiful hifalutin language, ap-! peals to the prejudice of our pocplobe-l cause the Railroads, under certain favor-j ing influences, are enabled to oiler our. people cUeaper freights to Virginia than j to Charleston. The question to be asked : Is, are the freights to Charleston too high ? If they are not, tho people of Charleston have 1:0 right to complain. If the Kailroads propose to befriend the planters of this State by carrying their cotton to mar- ; ket at a cheap rate, shall our Legislators join the monopolists of Charleston and cnatit a law whereby tho people will bo denied the present cheap freights. Tho Charleston Exchange is merely tightjug tbo advantages which we now 'bare lu freight rates?or in ntLor wrords, th'<y want a law which will torco OB to pay higher freights. , Charleston ? Wo think n??t. Tho people of Charleston s>! 1 their securities in the < irceji". iile and m !?i:i Kail road, and n?w when th?y have sheir money in tlic*Sr poeUr's lisey eojne like pa!iii't*, and appe ilti) tf 10 Iit'tcisfatnrc for a law to ootttml in tlrir uvvu interests, tho very pi'oper*y in w'li -ii tli'-y ?-m1 1 a <- > i(i 1 in-C ihi< iii e. and win ;i tie- properly wa-- sold it pnhlio outcry they re'Vised lo buy, even when it was offered to them.

Later, when e.tir people appealed (<>J :he:n for aid to establish a now eonn'v.a.... city, they refused t."> jrivo a dollar, j letter, ajj.Mii, when Auvjusta was r;i!o?I to, she had already built us a fiii<* railio.nl, ?die subscribed twenty-live thousand dollar-1. Charleston sneered at it, hp'i termed it, ''help for the weak." Only Istsl v.-cU Au^n- ta cave six thou sand dollars additional to tliis same road, which C!i:>; Itston contemptuously jeered t'.ir tir'ir.jj "wt It' ve wore di>p^?cd to make charges i;:aSissl Charleston, v * >f'?>nhi (liar^*'tiiat t '!iarIe.->to:j arrogates to heisell' tr??> much. !t seems lli.it the representation in the Legislature from that city, too often assu-nes to control Legislation and io force objectionable laws, living seventeen in number, *:hcy wore a power, which was lever forgetful of its own interests. And it seemed l" its that they sometimes thought Charleston \va? the State of South Carolina. I lave any of our readers ever heard it charged that some of i!ie line.-! houses in Charleston were built by "rebates" on freights, extorted oil" the country people by the 15 li I roads? As a matter of juMice, the Legislature should luar the Charleston Kxehanye. A till thin as another act of equity, they should hear from the Kailroad authorities. Let thetn take testimony. Let thetn ascertain facts. When [they are fully informed, let them act i fairly between the citizens of Charleston and the capitalists who have benefitted this so.-tion of tiie country so much, in [the erection and equipment of a splendid road, where only a rickety, dangerous, I lU'Oii-idir (lisolili'-i!i;r road, was run I under the direction and;ufluencc of these : same Charleston gentlemen, wlio.se repj rescntaiives the Exchango is. We cannot easily forgive Charleston for .the arbitrary manner in which our j poor old road was run so long to otiv disadvantage. Unless it should be ascertained that the charges are beyond reason, justice and equity demand that our Stale authorities let the Koad* alone. A splendid road, with elegant ears, run in safety, and in quick rime, is worth more than the old road which we had, and for our own part, wo arc willing to pay more for better service?. From Mr. IIamtuond, the agent at our depot, we learn thut the freight on cotton from Abbeville to Charleston, under Dodainead, Avh:> under the control of the Charleston power, charged us fi'.To a hale, whether it was ;i heavy or a light I bale. Til') present charge is ?'J.S3 for each bale of 450 lbs. The charge, under Dodainead lor cotton to New York was jjo.50. Now it is whether it is sent by Charleston or Norfolk. It makes no difference to tho shipper which way it goes. With this statement of facts, v;e would respectfully ask tho llcy inter to show where he gels in his ?1,500,000 ol oxtru charge*. The Vote oil (he Otuify Otioslicn. The tai.no ot majorities on u:o new county movement allord a subject for contemplation, when the facts connected therewith are taken into consideration. | It seems that three or four gentlemen | prominent in the politics of tho State, | held a caucus and determined to sprhig the question suddenly at tho extra session of the Legislature. Tho Governor >f the State in accordance with their wishes recommended the submission ol ci Amendment to the Constitution reducing the area of counties. The Democratic members to the General Assembly met in caucus. It was urged that though the Representatives were opposed to tho new county movoment. that there could be no objection to allowing the people the opportunity to voioon tho .subject. UnI ler this plausible argument, nobody ever Unibtcd but that an honest and a fair expression by tho people w is desired. The resolution submitting tho question was j idoptcd? and by rule of caucus, all tho I i i. .....I i... tIJClil WI "> WflU V /l?ii\4 i?j Ui^u tub) lAiivtn* the General Assembly the vole was unanimous. Ii, was not discovered until t Je w weeks lie;')re the election that the | Executive Committee, who are supposed to be fair and just to their Democratic | brethren, determined to force the amend! inent en ti:o people against their will. This was to l>e accomplish; d by furnishing tickets for the alhnnative side, and refusing them on the negative side. When a noise was made about the unfairness, the Com ir.ittee proposed to hush it all up by promises to comply with the wishes of ih" people. With an apparent .-?how of fairness, and in response to demands foi* proper tickets, the negative tickets were sent to some of the smaller counties, but in counties like Abbeville I and York, fhey were withheld although jib;-}* were specially ordered to send j them. These are believed to be some of the preliminary facts, and go to show our people the necessity of being on the watch even against the machinations of our own leaders. The county business I from first to last see ins to uavo been engitiecrocl by bosses, and not by the people I in open and irank discos-,ion. j The result of the election shows (hat in the very section, it was pretended in open secrecy, thy now counties were to j benefit, has voted against tho movement. It was contended that by tho adoption of this movement, new Democratic Senators wouid bo elected from ;ho up-country, who would control the | Radicals in the low country. The voto shows that the up-con ntry voted solidly | against it, and tho low-country voted for it. | In no county where the newspapers oiled proper attention to the matter was [ the amendment adopted. The country papers before the election ' indicated, with almost unerring certainty, tho way in which their respective counties would vote, and this tioes to | show how nearly the press of the State ! may represent popular sentiment. ; Tho poopln are beginning to think for I thenisoives, and in their recent vote, they j have indicated an individuality of opinion and an independence ol action which ... , , Ulllst lorevcr DO il warn in* iu iiiiouiitjpuions bosses who would dictate to a free j people how they should vcito. Although [ tho whole machinery of tho party was I brought in use against them, and although the oll'cial power of our leaders was j against them, yet they have voted against I the amendment. ? A> ? ? - The Dramatic Performance in Columbia. | Without a single exception, so far as j we have heard, there lias been great oonii plaint as to the manageiuent of the Theatre in Columbia during the Fair. The complaint seems to Lowell founded. It is said that the local troupe occupied the boards every evening, and kept out excellent professional companies who had applied for the Opera House, if the local troupo felt authorized in keeping professional troupes from coming, it has been said that, almost anyone of the * ,-"1 nieces which they (illlllliui* t iiii^ht have playeil, would havo been inorc acceptable. Tlio ''Octoroon'' is a piece which shows wiiio of tlio possibilities of tho evils of slavery. * The iRfOPsistcncy. The opponents of higher education by tho State, seem to be extremely cautious as to expenditures for tho State University, but we notice that they never say a word about the appropriation of $12,OHO for the militia. The most discerning man in tho State could not possibly point out any good which has resulted,- or could possibly result, from the military system of South Carolina. Let that ?12,000 go for education in the future.

Tiie Trial Justices. j The Trial Justice system of this State | is the source from which came much oj ] the cost and petty annoyance of the j criminal Courts. The plan of paying n judge lees upon the business of his oflicc lis wrong in principle, and may be worse j in practice. The public need not expeel 1 purity eyerv lime from a judiciary whieli has this temptation constantly holdout, ' Let our Legislators pay the Trial Justice? ! a small salary. As some of our citizen? ! arc under the impression that we opposed the bill offered by Kepresentatiyo Xee! on this subject at the last session of the Legislature, we copy from the Prc.ss am 1 Banner of January JSt-h Jv'?'2, nn editorial on that subject. That articlo embodiof , our sentiments now as it did then.: j llepresontativo J. I). Xeol lias introjdneedabill into the Legislature lixin*. ithe pay of Trial Justices at Abbeville ai titty dollars each, and for other trial J us; tijes in the couniy at twenty-Jive dollar; 'each, in lieu of all costs and foes in criin ! iual cases. If we are not in error, oji j motion of Representative W. II. Parker, jtlio bill was subseiiueiiilv amended, fix| ing the salaries at just double the sum; , proposed by Representative Neel, the aui thor of the'bill. In that shape we believe the bill is now on its passage in tht ; House. There seems to us to bo out har?h requirement in the bill, which, i j we understand it correctly, should la modified. We reffcr to the matter o: i monthly reports. No Trial Justice, liv| ing in the country, can afford to come tc i Abbeville Court House once a month, tc i make his report, for the fee named, [Country Trial Justices should be furj nished "with printed blanks, and lie allowed to send their reports through the mails. The amendment of Ileprentativt l'arkcr, increasing the jiay. was, wo bo ; lieve, an err' r. l'aithiul and eilicieat of| liccrs can iio secured for the amounts originally named in the bill, and ilio public, is entitled to such services at the lowjer figures. Hut, even with tiie increased ! salaries the bill is a good one, and will result in great benefit t'> the public. |\Yhi!j this Is true, it is also true, thai ' f h<?v ? tniiv think" lit!l nn!n?:l I ami unnecessarily harsh upon them, in ! cutting oil' their means of a livelihood. lint individual train, must he subordinated t<> the puhiie welfare. There can , he no doubt that good men will serve in these o111ce.s for the salaries originally j specified in the hill, and they should have , the places, if the old ollieers 1 el use to serve, 'fhe oflice of Trial Justice may b? given up at any moment, and the puhiie may rest assured that there will be no lack i of new men to lake the pla.-e, and draw the small salary. j The great saving under the new law is not apparent, if we look no further than the Trial Justice's olfiee. The saving i would be in the reduction of the number .of vusos which would be sent up to the ; higher Court. It is barely possible thai I wl.en the Trial Justice is in doubt about i v. hat to do, that his fees might influence ; his action, and lite accused might thus be 1 sent to jail to await trial in the Court ol General Sessions, when if the Trial Justices had been a salaried ollicer the alleged oll'ender might have been dillerent1 ly dealt with, anil the county saved a | large expense. I If our Legislators could bo induced to ] change our criminal laws, so as to require Trial Justices to dispose of the many ! trivial eases that now go to the Court ol 1 fieneral Sessions, we vcrilv believe that three thousand dollars could tlius be 'saved annually to tin* tax-payers of tlii> !co\tnty. With the present laws, and the ! present administration of them, the Cir1 cuit Judge is rod need to the.- work which should have been done in tlw Trial Justice's oliice. ! Greenville Docs Not Like the Clydcs. Did anybody ever stop to enquire why 1 (he City of Greenville despises the present railroad corporations which runs tc |or by that town. Let us recito a fact 01 two which we doubt not some of our peo! pie have not forgotten, and tl.e nnswei ; may suggest itself. Several years ago, the old management of the road by the Charleston gentlemen, carried freights tc , that town at a rate about half of that ! which was charged to Abbeville, Ninety, ty-Six, Anderson, llonea Path, and other neighboring points. As a result the i planters of all this section could sell , their cotton in that market al*a higher I figure, and could bay their groceries much lower than they could get them at i any of the neighboring towns. This condition of affairs created a ureal sensation ! at the lime, and hundreds of people went | from Abbevillo and Anderson to Green ville to soil tLcir cotton and to buy the ' needod supplies. Under the present I management, however, all these towns iget goods at as cheap rates as does(?reenI ville. With the existence of these fact*, the business of this portion of the State resumed its normal condition, and now j tho local towns get the trado to which ] they arc properly and legitimately entitled. Does anybody now see wherein | (ireenville has a right to complain ? Wc [do not, except that this new city is not made a favorite at our expense. Shall wo ; inaugurate a system which will drive trade from onr little towns, for no other purpose than to build up Ciecnviilo and ; Charleston ? ? - The State Fair. The State Fair came off in Columbia j last week, and everything passed oil ! most delightfully to everybody. The crowd in aiiriiuanro v as simpiy jin! mens?, and tI*o conduct ana behavior of 'each ono of that vast assembly was without Illume. There \vas the finest display of beautiful and attractive women, and the best specimens of a noble manhood ' were t here in great numbers. The show in horses was superb, and the articles of produce and manufacture were beyond a description in a short notice. We trust that much good was effected in a social | way, and that agricultural and mechanical arts may havo received a fresh im| petus. These gatherings are always coniducive to good in many ways, and wo I should be glad to know that the State We Will Not Publish It. TSuooki.yn, N. Y., Nov. Ifi, 1882. !

Persons predisposed to consumption should avo;<[ indoor and sedentary avocations of life. On the other hand, j they should engage in active outdoor bus; iuess, and by preference select a high and jdry place of residence. Their food should I hi-generous, varied and nCtritlous, em' bracing a full allowance of meat.", of va| rious kinds. They should clothe warmly, j secure abundant and regular rest and sleep; in short, they should avoid all causes tending in any way to depress or ! lower the powers of life, and give constant cart; to sustaining all the powers ' and functions of life in their fullest vigor. When (he ili.scaxc hwt dcvclo/'ctl, the. Iti/'jiIx ilrriili'tHll lllnvi'. itlllior taut, as a rule, than vindication. So far as possible, consumptive persons should live in tlio open air and sunlight, and, next to this, should have an abundance of properly cooked, nourishing food, j They should lift encouraged to eat freely of beef, mutton, eggs, wild game, tisii i and milk. The dress should be of a character to equalize and retain the tempera, ture of the body, and cleanliness of body should receive especial attention. It is ' J important also that they secure a mild, 11 equable and dry climate to live in. It is I claimed that prolonged residence in high, dry localities has proved curative of consumption. And their hours of rest should be regular and abundant, and their habits of life, so far as possible, uniform. No ! .specijlc curative reuir/h/ fcr the. dixcasc has f[.ycl been foitwl.

Almost ft New Legislature. I If anything was wanting to prove the i unsettled political condition of our counj tiy, a glance at the list of members 01 the j General Assembly who have been rcturuled, would satisfy the most skeptical. ! This fact means something, and what it is, wo arc unable to tell. Arotho people I licit lo ? Have a majority of the old mcm! bers given satisfaction to their constitu! cuts ? Have the old members of theUcneral Assembly voluntarily withdrawn I from politics, and willingly given place | to others ? Wo cannot answer for any i County, except Abbeville, and wo think ' we can answer correctly for our old members. Messrs. Parker am! Gary arc the only old members who sought re-election to the House of Representatives. Nei ther I>r. Necl, Dr. Taggart, nor Mr. Morj rah''desired llie honor a .second time. Wo would prefer to have in tlic Lcgis | latino more of the old members. Wlien an entiiu new Legislature is elected, the ; temptation-may be to enact too many i laws, and to chango too much that has ali I ready been done. We want conservatism , in our Leuislaturo, and we ti list our now > men may not think tiio duty devolves 'I upon tlietn to make many radical changes. ' We have had too much Legislation in the past, and we hope to have less of it in the ,! future. Thanksgiving and Prayer. (iov.

Surety one of the lirsl conditions to this end would he lhat iIitss should represent womanly lost rvc. Jt should clothe, not disguise nor deIttrm. The lines of beauty shonld he preserved without that exposure of the delicate skin which makes the ueholdei shiver and which should inalce thesul>Jecl blush. Colors should lie modest heside the coloring of nature. Let no glaring tints disturb the harmony of the delicately blended hues. The told in nyoung trirl's hair, the avanescent roses in her cheek, glowing and palling with the rylhm of her pulse, is a silent eloquence, or rutlier a lightaud-shadow utterence. Never profane or frizzle the oneout of all color, or place besides i he other any brilliant ornament which coullicL with its perfect charm. It Is with sorrow that 1 see many of my county women extend ins their hands to invite to this country that which is least worthy and substanti.il in the foeieiy of the old World. The empty amusements which, as far as possible, assimilate the tcutlcmcti to the groom ; tlie awkward diction of men who, hold the feudal dUrespeet of scholarship,and who having Iii-en obliged to pnss through school and unlvorsily, rather pi>i lie themselves upon showing how litt Ms these have done lor them ; tlies boorish manners of inon who ore al homo with horses but not all wilh ladles, ail these features arc becoming adopted in the p. ognune of Aineriean Itich life. Our young who used to stand upon their politeness as a merit now assu11u-a-1 such a rude 111<1 i>I rence which does not belong to them. Al fashionable reunions j they sland together talking their club talk anil leaving the girls, as the young Indies arc now called, to amuse t: etnselves as they can.! The glamour of rank Is so great as to have.in ' appreciable inlluencc iu the minds of young ladies. To marry an Kngllsh noblemen is now the height of fashionable ambition in America. The in.m may be stained Willi scandal, crippled by vice, ruined by dlslpathn. The American girl receives only hisiiile ami the coronet which makes hi- coiumouphirc personality observable.
