A The Press and Banner. HH" Greenwood Department, EDITED BY >V. K. HLAKK. Wednesday, April 30, 1884. The Propoxed Kail road to Edgefield. K Tho EMg?(iel<i Chronicle, h copy of ? which the editor# have kindly Kent toour j B address, referring to our repeated chU or jB the attention of the people of Edgefield to jn tlio importance of a railroad connection' from Greenwood ; of Mr. Calhoun's prophB ecy in reference thereto, and of ourasmiH ranee that the matter is now t<> be urged V upon them in a more substantial way, W asks: Will our Abbeville friend explain what / he means bv "a more substantial way"? We have had a great many Railroad pro jeets here in Edgefield, oii which we have k wanted many eolnmns of rhetoric. It has ^ been our custom to seize upon every proposed railroad project that looked plausible and write it up extensively, but ou^ enthusiam is about exhausted. We do not care to deal in fancy any longer. We want cold facts and nothing else. Does l our Abbeville friend know where the Lh money can be obtained to build a railroad B from Greenwood to this village, or does M he rest his hopes upon the prediction of Calhoun ? I We will explain. We moan that the [people along the line, from beginning to end, arc intensely aroused on the necessity | of such connection, in their own behalf as; well as that of otheis; that without it ! there is absolutely no hope of developing their fine and desirable section of country, and they must content themselves, cut1 off in their seclusion, to remain hindmost j in the universal move forward. They ! have seen what others have done, no; inoro able than themselves, and the great! results following. They have seen a se-, eluded section of their own county as 1 well as of Abbeville, converted from aji dark corner into a luminous centre, en-;! livened with busy, intelligent, progres- ! aivc villages; churches erected, flourish- i ing schools established, improved imple-ji IBM metus or a^ricuiturc iiiiriMiu-juii, mm-um- < ery put Into operation, and a universal i W falling into line in tho maroli of progress. | B Thev have witnessed all this as tho direct i result of a railroad ar d are 110 linger con- i tent to lap behind. They propose to or- I Bf ganize and move forward too. and to ask < | every man to bear his share of the honors. < J Is there n?>t something substantial in ? ' this? Tho first requisite in the success M of all enterprises is an intelligent appre-Jf hension of its importance and value, and j' a determination on the part of the peo- r pie to inangarate and complete it. Those U Kdgefleld and Abbeville people in thejf section of the proposed road, have never, J till now, determined on this matter, and t who that knows them is so incredulous i as to doubt the result. We do not rest s , our hopes on the prophecv of Mr. Cal- f houn ; we know where and how the money L can be obtained to build it. Similar enterI prise* have been undertaken and comP pleted tinder double the difficulties attendingthis one. The Angnstaand Knox- ( villo Road was undertaken and built, it c i? said, "without money and without ' price," but that is a mistake ; the expres- * sion is only intended to show the consummate skill und undigging energy of its J projectors, and how completely it is within , the power of any section of country, to i build an important connecting line, when ' M possibly they could not huilu one extend- ? ing far beyond their limits. The Savan- , nah Valley road is the direct result of ex- ' peri?*nce in the success of the Augusta ( and Knoxvilli; Road. The former would , Jiover have been undertaken without the ?j example ol the latter to incite to active r r. nr r..~ t lH'.'Nnuirsi* a i wa^ uuncu \?? ??m uh*^ years before, and now, under the light ol recent experience, the Savannah Valley ' Rail mail is an assured fact. Is there an-. '' fancy alnnU this ? Is it not a solid faet, ' staring the country in the face? and yet ' our friends of the CAromWe have suffered r their enthusiasm to become exhausted and ' are discouraged ; let us remind them that H enthusiasm is a cheap, but very essential n ingredient in the matter of railroad build- * ing. "?Ve suggest that if Edgellcld and other oounties would unite with Abbe- 1 ville and send representative# to C'olnm- * bia who will cure the State ??f its Senti- ' mental Craze, the difficulties in the way r of constructing short railroad connections * wonld be removed. No other State i* ' afflicted as this one, and no other would ' hound forward with greater strides, if she was relieved of the fetters thrown around her by old fogies and senUuientalists. ? Duties of tlie Grand Juries. The Rome [On.) Bulletin speakinir of the court in session in that eitv, Judire Pottle presiding, mikes the following nugirestive reference to the J utile's charge to the Grand Jury : The people of Floyd and the city of Rome have seldom listened to a limre powerful and eloquent discourse than Judge Pottle'B charge this morning to . the grand jurv upon the srreat questions of temporance and glambling and general wickedtm*. The Grand Jury, as a part of our Judicial system, is one npon which rests to a very great degree the <lnty of rectifying ! the evil to which the citizens of the Coun- j ty are subjected. It is theGrand Inquest t chosen from the various sections of the County, the members of which, for one j twelve months, have resting upon their consciences the solemn oath, each for c himself, "you Bhall present all thing* 1 truly as they come to your knowledge, according to the best of your understand- i ing." What ''things?" Evidently all ' such as affect deleteriouslv tho public J welfare: not merely the infractions of t the law which may be preferred before them by a formal indictment, but what- i ever affects the public safety, the public ' prosperity and the public morals, is en- * joined upon tho Grand Juror to report to f his pannel, and through it to bring to the I notice of the court and thence, perhaps,^1 to the Legislature. It is an interesting ! qoostion, therefore, for grand jurors,) how far they are responsible for the prev- , alenco of crime in their midst. They . 1 represent every section of the county and , re presumed to be familiar with tho J practices and occurrences or everyday jj yet if we are to judgo from observation, j grand jurors, as a rule, are the least in- I formed of what is going on in their < 1 counties, of any clasi of citizens: none , of them seem to know any thing of their < own knowledge; at le;ist, as a grand 1 Juror, he muH have "all things" brought, to his knowledge by extraneous evidence^ lj else it is not a fact and he ignores it; his wf individuality is merged into the Grand Inquest; he imbibes the spirit of our laws and throws the mantle of the State over all her citizens who are innocent\ till the contrary is proven. He will know nothing, as a juror, of his own knowledge. A erandjuror may be felled : to the ground and he will never know it ' unless it is testified to him by some witness of the fact. Is there a grand juror in the State but knows that there is a vagrant law on the statute book, which is a dead letter, and that as a consequence, idleness'; which is the most fruitful source of crime, is the curse of the land? Arethere no special instances of Infractions ! of the law in other particulars affecting the public morals, or the public safety and prosperity, if not we are a fortunate ! people, and grand jurors are without blatne in the discharge of their duties to themselves ?nd tho public. Simon Cameron's Yiew of the Sonth. ..A correspondent of the Philadelphia "* TIvm* talked with ex-sonator Simon Cam- i eron, arxnit nis recent irip inroujjii mo South. The venerable ex-Senator said: "The South in making rapid progress! nnd is not behind the times. There are i places where change Is unknown, but those are dead places. The increase of i the general wealth of the South since the war greatly exceeds the loss sustained by tfre liberation of the slaves, and this increase is the result of the development of the white people's energies and talents, which before the war had Iain dormant.' The exercise of these has opened ore mines, great coal fields, established industries of all kinds, and is enabling the ; South to use tin in its own manufactories tho cotton grown by it. The Northern ~ capitalist and workman And ready fields of operation?toe one for investment, which brings speedy returns, and the other for his skill, which is well paid, j Sectional feeling is dying away, and: Northern people are well received, especially those who come there to stay and bring wealth. Why, yes. life and'rroperty, so far as I can see, are secure i ;he South. Disorder sometimes prevails < Isejvhore than in tho South. Caution to Farmers. We call attention of our farmers, who think of providing themselvos with the inoro costly plows, 30 many different' patents of which are now being mannfuc- J tured, to tho importance of examining each one in reference to it* simplicity in tho arrangements of the points, if a cast plow, and of tho plow-hoe it?olf, if to be 1 attached toonoof the numerous Btvles of cultivators. It will bo scon on e.xamina-. tion, that most of them aro cut and : shaped in such a way that when one point! is worn out (and that is very soon) it can-; not be duplicated except from the manu-1 facturer's own store: having purchased j: his plow, the farmer is compelled to pavjj the manufacturer's price, or else lay aside j tl.? !I? nvf.loau ttlmulor. This is oft-! i en (lotto ; it is either to submit to the ex- j actions of a inouopy, or lose what has ( been expended, and in many instances ttic latter course is the cheaper. This is a J trick of the manufacturer. There is no reason why plows should not be so sim- ' ply arranged that any common black- i smith could make tho points used on t them. We adviso our agricultural readers to note this matter, and buv no plow 1 i which is not so simply arranged as to en-1 -t.i~ l...,-n l>i< nmnts mid . i au??: nil. I.. , plows hoe* 'made at homo, otherwise hlsj implement will cost him more than it i? ? worth,and he will find it out when it is'! too late. Not a Sunday School Excursion. Prof. G- C. Hodges repudiates the tcim Sunday-school, as applied to the excursion to Columbi i to-morrow, under his management: that it is a children's excursion, and nothing more distinctive, j except as to color. It is earnestly to he r h.iped that every child who joins the ex- j t: curnon is a member not only of some " Sunday-school, hut of n week-day school also; and hence it may not lie improperly called a school excursion; l>ut there is R nrnnAnaif V t<? vifV' II1 :t r I 70 thf* illstl- ll tution of the Sabbath, and thus destroys sanctity. A school engaged In recreation | [luring the week, is doing what it should jC not do on the Sabbath, and is no more 0 properly to be designated a Sunday- " whool than is a common school engaged in like recreation. There is an eternal "Unen of things that ought to be observ- H ?d, and Sunday-school picnics and Sun- (? lay excursions are not among them. m Fust as well have an excursion for tho .vhole church to which the Suddnytchool belongs: indeed, after Sundayichool excursions have become sufll ienlv popular, we may very properly txpeot the next most natural results to 'ollow, an excursion by the church itself; ? ind where it will land we will not ven-j m ure to intimate. The world seems to be ! ^ unning at full speed and the church is icnrely restrained from following its >ath. .. w - *? - - ei tc Are the Masses Corrupt? jq. At a recent banquet of the Commercial j "!luh of Chicago, the subject under spe-1 ial consideration being legislative and nnnicipol reform, tho Rev. Dr. Ilensnn at aid: He did not believe the masses of the " >e<>ple were corrupt or dead to honor or ruth. The creat trouble was that the!'" najority of the business classes were so tnmersed in money-makinir that they | lad no time for politics, and left thattrrave ? 1111y to the tender mercies of the profes- I ional politician. To this ami thy was' nainlv due the elevation to office of the lass of men seen in the Chicago City Vuincil. The remedy was?eo to the nri- ^ narics, secure the nomination of comne- S ent, fit ineii, and then elect them. The ;ood people outnumbered the bad in eve- P; y eommunitv when thcytook th??tr?nble f< o come to the front. |p The concluding advice of the above ex- j (j ract, mi'jht be adopted withirrcat propri-; 01 tv he e and every where. The mass ?fja< >nr citizens do not interest themselves in ! r< natters of public duty. They are so im-18| nersed in their private affairs as to neg- j pet to give proper attention to the re>pon-! 0( lOlllllCS UIHl rest, lipnn , lllt-lll n* ?-iii-?, 1 p, md hence they suffer others to do for|fr hem what they alone should do, each for'Mj limsclf: "f?o to the primaries, secure the jt lominntion of competent, tit men, and! hen elect tlicm." This rlone. his whole I mldic duty is discharged, and each m?v ^ eturn to his respective vocation content j w flth the result. Less than tliis is n crimnal iiisresnrd of the puMic interest and iltimatelv^nvolves his own. A SKUVlfEs in all the chur lies last .Sunlay. Rev. Mr. Smart preached a special j. ermon in the Htntist church to the' oiinjr. at 11 o'clock A M.. which was j nil of valuable instruction and interest j o old and vonntr. In the Methodist; hur? h Rev. W. A. Rogers preached in j4'1 he afternoon and received live young lers.ins into the full fellowship of the. hureh. In the forenoon Rev. J. P. Maron preached one of his awakenimr ser-j B nous from the prayer of David, "Keep i >ack thy servant also front presumptuous j ins." I here win not a listless our under : ho sound or" his voice as he portrayed H he character and f.ito of the presuinptu- j >tis sinner. It is proposed by the citizens In the! ,'oronaca neighborhood, to have the^R >ridge. which is to be re-erected over Sauda River in consequence of the impair(I condition of :ho one at Royd's Mill, >nt up at the "old bridge" place opposite, he plantation of R. W. Anderson. It is laiined that this is the most convenient ind best place for it, and on that account t is insisted on. . A oknti.f.man from the neighborhood j ?f Clinton, Laurens county, informs us hat that wide awake town is agitating : ho subject of building h railroad to con- j ,, icct at this point with the Augusta and | \noxville Roa<l.

It is an encouraging sign, i and we predict that m another decade, ] more pnigres* will have been made in the! ilevelopment of this great interest, than ; ^ lias been in the last half century. Cotton planting is now going on with a perfect rush, hut we hear no anxiety or i interest expressed on the question of corn. | Very well; have your own way about it; I . if you are joined to your idols we must 1 let"vou alone, or had just jw well do so. : J Coi..
