Each department, whilo harmonizing.

Mr. Blake, as editor, Is too well known

The people along the line of the Savannah
Valley Railroad have done well.
They seem to be almost a unit in their
desire for the road, and wo trust that those
who may be opposed to it, or op|>osed to
contributing to its constrction, may yield
their objections and pay their proportion
cheerfully. In no event could litigation
fcave anything to the litigants. The costs
x>f a suit would be more than the taxes,
and if anybody thinks there is a principle
in it to defend, we hope that he may
not insist upon a doubtful principle,
?li<i0t3 many of our cltiftjns believe a
railroad and the welfaro of tho whole
country is involved. It is the part of patriotism
for individuals to respect tho
wishes of their neighbors at a time
Vhen it costs them something to do, and
the advocates of this tax should not forget
the patriotic act of those who yield
? . ' thoir convictions cheerfully and kindly.
"While this is an occasion for rejoicing,
it is not an occasion for tho manifestation
of any unkind spirit to those who were
in the minority. It is not a victory
over an enemy. It is merely an expression
of opinion among friends. The
grace with which those who were in the
minority will withdraw their objections,
and the cheerfulness with which they
will pay, is the evidence of the best eiti-j
cenship and the highest manhood. Those
who are opposed to the tax, but still pay
It, deservo a groat deal moro credit for
doing so, than those who votvd for tho
levy. Their unselfishness deserve tho
thanks of those who were in the majority.
On a previous occasion, when tho
?e courts were appealed to, the litigants had
good reason for their action. They believed,
as did a very large proportion of
the public, that the road could not be
finished, anil that their money would be
wasted in an enterprise which was doomed
to failure. But the situation is differ- J
*nt now. Much work ha* been done by
ourselves and others. Others than our'
own people havo staked a largo amount, |
,yet to be expended in tho enterprise, onj
condition that we do a part. The money
pledged in Anderson village and the city]
of Augusta amounts to 830,000.00 and our
own lovy, upon which thero has just
been a favorable vote will swell theag-;
gregate to 8^0,000.00. This money ju-i
didously expended will, in our opinion,;
?ecuro the completion of the road. The;
<Jeorgia Central Railroad is reaching its
.arms out in Rome of the best portions of
South Carolina and the enterprising 3ityi
of Augusta wants and will have the busl- j
ntus along the Savannah Valley. The>
Georgia Central Road and the city of Au- j
gusta are able and willing to finish the!
Savannah Valley road, if we only do our!
part, aud evince an earnest desire to have
it.
Let tho work go on uninterruptedly un- j
til it is finished. Thoso who have more!
property .ind pay the largest share ofi
tuvau u-iil lwfho creat^st trainers. Real
e*tate of all kinds will be greatly cn-l
hanctid in price, and a market will be
opened for the valuable timbers, which
are now worthless as a regards a market
value.
X Little Overnice?Prejudice and Mistaken
Judgment.
The manairors of the Presbyterian
Hospital, of Philadelphia, have decline.l
to accept $2,000, the sharo due the hospital
from the proceeds of the lite charity
ball in that city. President Dickey, in a
letter explaining the action of the board
nays: "Our hospital is under the care
and supervision of the church, and it is
our conviction that it would be inconsistent
in us to ae::f pt means for the support
of the work which the church has
given us to do, in its name and under its
direction which the church itself could
not accept? which you would neither ask
nor expect a church to accept."
We find tho above paragraph among
our exchanges, and upon which wo
would remark, that for blind superstition
or fbr extraordinary effort to appear
exceedingly pious?in fact, too pious for
this world?we have never seen the equal
of the act of the managers of the Presbyterian
Hospital of Philadelphia, Under
strict construction of their act, and a systematic
observance of this rule, very few
persons would bo allowed to contribute
money to the church. The Church in
.this part of the country does not engage
In many of the pursuits by which money
is secured, and if all men, who follow
pursuits in which the church does not
engage, were forbidden to contribute of
their money, there would be a perceptahle
shrinkage in the revenue. We know
n ithing of tho Presbyterian Hospital of
Philadelphia, but suppose that it is a
charitable institution whose object is to
administer relief to the sick or distressed
brethren who mar be in need of help.
This being the case, and if any affliotted
human being is denied relief because of
a lack of funds then may the sin of this
denial and its consequences rest upon the
heads of the sanctimonious creatures
who refused the monoy?aa well may
our preachers forbid a majority of people
from contributing to the church, as to refuse
the $2,000 from the charity ball.
Ho doubt the same impracticable and
?verpious men would accept from individual
citizens, the winnings arising
from a horse race, or the profits made
from the sale of whiskey which dethrones
the reason, wrecks the soul, and
bankrupts the man.
Shall the sick, or distressed or dying
person in need of a refuge from the pitiless
storm, or in search of an asylum
where the weary frame may rest, be
compelled to stop and enquire the occupation
or business of the benefactor who'
has furnished the money bcforo bo can
accept shelter, food, or other needed com -1
? forts. Shall all men who do not make
professions of Christianity be denied the
privilege of ameliorating the sgflferings
of humanity? If men are not denied
the privilege of giving- money to the relief
of their brethren, then why this effort
at notoriety in refusing the $2,000?
We hope the advocates for the running
ct Tilden and Hendricks for President,
may wait until our Egyptian mummies
arrive. If they are Kivrn n fair tshow and
an?v>n start Tilden and Hendricks will
be detail in tb? race.
The Register and the News atid Courier.
Without going into the merits of tho
spat between the It eg inter and the News
und Courier of last week, wo would coin1mend
the dignified and forcible manner
j in which tho latter replied to the former.
I The example of the News and Courier, in
thi* Instance, except in its reference to
the circulation of the Register, is worthy
of ail emulation.
The difference In the circulation of tho
two papers had nothing at all to do with
:he question at issue, and for this reason
we think it was an error on the part o'
lie News mid Courier to lug in an irrele
vant matter, for no other apparent reason
than that of injecting a sting into an otherwise
unobjectionable article. We aie
<ure that the News anil Courier did nut
intend to claim exemption from criticism
by the Register because of any difference
in the circulation of tho two papers.
The Register, in its language, must
have been offensive to at least a portion
of its readers, while the general tenor of
its article may have suggested the idea
that its criticisms of the Xc.w.i ami Courier
might have been written as touch as
an excuse for its owii failure to give I he
public fuller details of a matter about
which everybody was anxious to hear,
as in any patriotic ventilation of disinterested
friendship for Cash, or in giving
utterance to any jjreat desire that the
pcoplo of South Carolina should be tolerant
and merciful to a sftof men who
havoso much blocd oil their hands as the
Cashes.
With the exception of the matter about
the circulation of the Iirr/ister, the Xcus
ami Courier'* article is eminently proper,
and we hope to see the brethren of the
press act in like manner towards their
assailants?even though the/ consider
them unjust and vulgar. We hope to
see the day when the epithets common to
street gammins will entirely disappear
from the columns ot the South Carolina
press.
The evidence which was brought out
at the habeas eorpus trial of K. 15. C.
Cash, in our opinion, vindicates the Xeivs
and Courier.

! Tlio Hon. J. C. Sheppard's house in
I E Igefield was burned on the 2">th of Febj
ruary. The general agent rushed down
I there in four days afterward and in one
i hour after his arrival?without the interposition
of appraisers?his loss was
i adjusted. But now, my Triend, don't be
deceived by any such action. If your
| house is burned, you may rest assured
that appraisers and carpenters will bo
around, making astonishingly low esti|
mates, and if you do not watch very
' closely, sorr.e of the provisions in the
closely printed saving clauses may knock
you out of a part of the expected money.
I A man who gets burned out will learn
that thero may bo unexpected discounts.
; What we need in this country is protection
from insurance companies. If they
take our money the law should compel
them to pay what thev promise. We do
' not know whether it is an unusual thing
' : r?1 V* 1IntiQ

es in Edgefield, but we suppose they generally
settle in some way, but as this one
paid in full in this instanc , public mention
was mado of it in the newspapers.
I We see no notice in the papers of any individual,
firm, or corporation 'paying
their debts in Edgefield. Is the insurance
company which paid Mr. Sheppard's
loss, tho only debt paying institution in
Edgefield, ?>r is it a remarkable fact that
| that particular company paid its obligation
? We do not understand the situation
in Edgefield. Our people in Abbeville
pay notes daily, and no noise is
I made about it. We take it as a matter of
course that our peoplo will pay, but it
I seems so remarkable that the insurance
1 company which lost by Mr. Sheppard's
house should pay their loss, that a public
acknowledgment of the same has to be
made in the newspapers. The receipt, it
seems to us, ought to have had the official
seal of the State attached. People abroad
would nowhere have doubted this remarked
proceeding on the part of an insurance
company if tho great seal of the
State had been affixed.
Pitiful Appeal.
Where is tho blush of patriots who
have turned their backs on their old confederates
in arms ? Shall thejwhite man's
desire to educate the negro, completely
obliterate his manly pride and self-respect?
Shall we forever annually appropriate
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for negro education, and forever deny
any recognition of the services of our
soldiers in war?our own men and brethren?
Being a firm believer in the fact
that this a free country?tree in every
proper sense of the word, and that every
citizen has rights which are the equal to1
tho rights of every othor chizen, we!
think it is time to let every man take
care of himself. The negro is as free an
the white man. Then if he is free and
has an equal chance, why degrade and
rob the white man for the education of
the brother in black ? Is it not a shame
and a disgrace to tho Southern States for
her citizen soldiery to bo compelled to
put forth any such appeal as comes from
-?*- ?!-!- -? - ?: ?I i-:_
, iucniuoiiu, > ngiiuu, ui? nine nut-u > 11ginia,
like South Carolina, truckingly
runs after the ungrateful negro with appropriations
of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, while these States rive not one
cent to pension Confederate soldiers.
Truly has ingratitude taken possession of
the Southern States. Our self-respect
j must bring the blush to every true
j citizen, of South Carolina when he iscotnj
pelled to state that we give three hunidrcd
thousand dollars anually to educate
a class of people who would swim
streams, or drown, if necesary, in order to
' swear against us, but that we in our penury,
give not a cent to the Confederate
j soldier. The basest ingratitude which a
| nation can show is to withhold its pension
from the soldier who brayed death
: in its deft tice. Add to this our ingratitude,
j the almost unbounded liberality with
; which wo trucklinglv reward local
enemies everywhere, and what should
the world say of Southern valor, and
! Southern chivalry?
I The following appears in the columns
j of our exchanges, and we are inclined to
| think the Southern gentlemen who re'
cetitly expressed at Washington such un'
dying anxiety about the education of the
I negro might ro;id it with protit.

j The necessity for relief to ilisubled
Confederate soldiers is growing more ur!
gent every day. TJiey liavo no governj

and must share the late of paupers un;
less a home is provided for tliem hv prii

' undertaken to establish Btich a home,
i They have appealed to their comrade
I veterans of the (irand Army of the Rej
public, who has responded with a noble
' willingness and fraternal sentiment,
worthy of their heroic record. Still, the
; undertaking is large and the need lor
i further aid is urgent.
We, therefore, appeal to the banks and
bankers, capitalists, insurance and other
corporations, manufacturers and merchants,
for such contributions in cash or
merchandise as will be easily snared from
their abundance and of great uelp in our
necessities.
We refer to Hon. W. C. Carrington,
Mayor of Richmond, Va., or to any of
our banks, bankers, or other business
I people.
j We will hold a fair in this city on or
about the 1st ot May at the Armory.
Let us at least have some contribution
which will be gratefully accepted and
duly acknowleded by publication in our
city papers. Address R. E. Lee Camp, |

In her education, ami lam also satisfied

He Doesn't Mean Any Harm. lr
The mpn whom you see going about 01
with a doublo barrel shot gun means no
harm to you. He is merely looking for
delinquent subscribers to the village
newspapers. When you see him put the lr
gun to his shoulder, and level his artil- "
lery at anybody, you may know that ho j rc
has found a man who would not pay. j w
Ordinarily, ho selects fair weather for tho i sj
funerals of those persons whom ho finds is
it necessary to send where linen dusters
and palm leaf fans will bo needed.
Tiiurb is a large open pit at the head ^
of the sewer by the depot on the walk .
between Mr. Mcllwaino's dwelling and
the town. Would it not bo well to cr
put a guard around it to prevent the yi
wayfarer from falling into it at night. It n<
is on the edge of the walk, and there is
danger to persons passing on dark nights. ft]
Let tho town council look after this mat- di
ter, before somebody is hurt. f<>

; Miss Wilson's school house was enI
terod a few nights ago and quite a number
of books, slates, inkstands and writ- I
ing paper taken. This was the work of
some one of that class whom the State is

by education, but is too slow to keep
puce with tho moral demands of its subject.
We know nothing of the virtues of
| Wizard Od, but there can be no doubt as
! to the musical talent of the company who
proclaim its merits. Their music draws

the wind blew, and the weather
I was cold on a dead level.

MJK WHITK stands In the front. It leads
the world In point of durability, In feat-;
es of mechaniml constru-dlon, In new and A
tillable linpiovement-. For light running I
lalltli s and for great ranee of work with the
nbodlmenl of all the latest Improvements I
u>u n to Sewing Machine mechanism, with H
egnnee of design and beauty of finish the1 I
hlte stands without a rival. The Improved '
'hlte is the Machine of the future.
TIlE WHITK Is manufuctured by an old
impany who have had an experience of over
liny years in the manufacture of Hewing
achines.
TH K WHITK Is the most simple construct I
Shuttle Sewing Machine madeand adjustlc
throuL'hont so thatany lost motion can be
ken up In an instant. T
TilK WHITK is the lightest running, and
aile from the best material. T
THK WHITK makes less noise than any
her Shuttle Machine, and hii3K larger space T
ider tlie arm. A
TIIK WHITK has an oscillating self-thread- r
ig shutU# and u self-setting needle. It has a *
rong feed on both sides of the needle. ri
THK WHITK wl;l do all kinds of work that v
iy Machine can do. The White will do work
lat no other Machine in the world can do. O
THK WHITE hems, and sews on lace, and
iserts bias trimming at head of hem all In 0
ie operation. T
THK WHITE does welt cording, and scol- X
fhlndlnir. _
HE WHITE docs dress trimming, fold J
lakinsr, coal binding, and the only Machine
l the world 1 li:tt docs hem-stitching without
ip use of paper. The hen*. stitch attachment
id need from ^10.00 toSl.00.
THE WHITE hits nn automatic bobbin
Inder?every hobhln wound as smooth as a
loolol thread, and an automatic take up and ,
.self-band lug.
THE WHITE ruffles between two bands on
ic edge of a garment, or through the centre
' a garment. With the above and other
inges of work too numerous to mention the
rHITIC stands without a peer.
THE WHITE Machine mis been tested In ?
bbevlllecounty over seven years and is war- |
intod from five to fifteen years. The shuttle
irrlcr Is lined and warranted twenty-five
jars. In order to demonstrate the above I
aw challenge any one of my competitors to
ieet me In a nubile contest.
THE WHITE .Machine can be run success- _
illy by electricity, an advantage that every 1
*lic.ite ladv will appreciate. With the bias
ill cutter, button-hole attachment and eleclcal
motor combined with the above the
'HITE is king of Machines.
