At the trecting of the citizens of C5ft*cnVroo;! last week ttt discuss the building ot a railroad to EMwfrlon by way of Abhcvilo, It vras determined th build the roacj if C&ptaln llaoul would e^ulplt. A com tn It tee was appointed to wnll upon him, and urge the linJKirtHnee of tho route with a view of Induenij hlni to agree to enillp It when It Is graded. The following named genttefaen are the committee: Dr. M. C. Tnggirt, Dr. W. B. Millwee, I)r. A. P. Boozer. Mcsm.k. T. F. Hi ley, ?- A. C. Waller, J- K. Durst. Let our people be on the alert, Greenwood Is a Itvo, thoroughgoing town, and when the people of that town determine to do anything ibey mean business. Let Abbeville follow the good example of Anderson In railroad blatters, and we will be all right. Anderson is full of energy and pluck. The new railroad to Klherton Is a prize that we cannot, a fiord to let Anderson take from us. It Is ours by a'l the natural laws, as was th? (ierenwcxKl nnd Augusta railroad. We lost that road by nn-rtijr rcmammi; iuic wmiv niiTummu Vvorked. Shall we stand still and let Anderson walk off with ourother road? If a Utile corporation like the city of An<ler*oii can afford to -jive S.TO.mv, surely (irccnwood and Abbeville can crude the Elberton mad. and do It quick. Wc have to lie prompt. If wp delay, wc need not be surprlse-i to bear that Anderson hail voted the money to grade the road, and closed the contract. There I* no use of delay. Xot nixposed to Seek Office. Mr. W. C.

Although he was the founder ot the Abbeville Literary Club he has seldom held any other position than prlvnfelt was only after lone and earnest solicitation that he consented lo run for County Chairman, and no man ever made a better officer. He declined an election to the State CV>nv?-ntlo-i. Though he went to that, meeting merely as a looker-on, no man wielded n greater Influence o:i the work of that body. The office of Presidential KWior was given without solicitation. Last week, at tils invitation, the Bar met and organized, and It was reasonable to expect him to be made President by reason of the Important jwrt which he had taken, yet we And hlto in the ranks, as & worker.

A Suggestion to our City Fathers* Editor I'resi and Banner : Having very little additional work to do In the way of macadamizing the streets, which I Is of pressing necessity, It I* suirested that ttie I town authorlth-serect a nice little two story < brick Mitldlng and divide the lower story of! the naine into two apartments to he used ax a i market house, and the upper story as a chamber for the u*e ur Council. Prohibit the sale of fresh meats of any kind nt retail, on the part of any one except those having a licens# from the Council, and limit the number to whom such license shall be) granted to not exceeding two. Then require: luch licensed persons to sell only at the market house: for the use of which they should t>e charged a reasonable rental. Thus the Insome from the rent of the lower story for market purposes, together with the nmount saved. which Is now paid for a Council Chamber, would pay a handsome Interest on the cost of . such a building, and at the same time the citizens of our town would know whereto go when In need of fresh meats. But this need not b<-the only advantage accruing to the citizens of our town should the e above suggestion be adopted. The Council in i?, granting tlie license spoken of should look to' f the character of the applicants tor the same, i ? and should grant a license to no one, unless |( they believe him to bean honest, upright and 11 fair dealing man. TiieConncil should reserve' c the right to revoke any licenses granted by. them whenever It should t?e conclusive to; them thnt a party to whom such license wm ] granted was guilty of extortion orother ImFonltlon in the inuiter of the sale of meats.] u this way our peopie would, to*imeextent.i be protected against such outrageous Impost- j ttonn as are now often practiced upon tliein. | We are satisfied that the result wou:d be: that we would get.as good or better beef, mutton, Ac.. than we now (jet and at a cost no, greater If a* greatas that which we now have ] to pay. And more, If the matter should l>e j Kroperl.v manured bv the Council, we would | ave a different and more desirable and sat- I Isfactory set of Individuals to deal with. In j such matter*, than are some at least of those j with whom we now, sometimes, have to deal.; We think we have good reason for believing that with such an arrangement a* good tieef ! ?? we mi# eel could be furnished at even a I less cost than now and still leave a nig mar- j Sin for profits to the butcher. There Is no ouht about It that If there Is nothing left on the hands of the butcher of a beef bought and sold at the prevailing prices of the same, the profit N enormon*. hut under the present ?r-: ranmnent, with a half dozen parties butcher-1 Ing and occasionally a slaughtered beef I brought in by some countryman, there is often h considerable quantity of the beef left on ; the hands of the butcher for which he geitti little or nothing, consequently. In order to! provide against such a contingency, he putsi up the price. But If he knew of a certainty j that there was no risk to be run as to his sell- j tng out. he could afford to sell at vena le-s price than now and In theend make more out! of the business This assurance he could have under the proposed plan from t^e fact that in | a little while he could ascertain approximately at least, what amount of fresh meat wasj required for the dally consumption of the[ town, and knowing thfi' At most there was but one other person besides himself who would or could have fresh ineaton the market be could govern himself accordingly In the | mntter of the slue of the animal slaughtered. We hope therefore that the Council will give, this matter lis due consideration. ! The Tarrant Case. ixekk s uffice, i Abbeville S.

Bui he was ' impelled to state tlie trutii on this matter so | plainiy that members would tie competed to . luee tlie responsibility whichavwte on this ? auestioii would Involve. He gave lacts and , gures respecting tlie murderous results of 1 firevalllng sjstem?a system so appalling in " is operation mat two of tlie Judges had been com pel led i o say tliattliey shrank with horror from the duty 01 sentencing convicts to the l'eiiitentiaty. lie admitted that the Bill was nut the first J step in a reformation which wan intended to lead ultimately to ihe employment oi the?e convicts 1 in111 the wallso| the Penitentiary, hut the primary consideration ol the advocates oi the Bill was humanity to this unfortunate class, which the Male was bound in utter helplessness to protect them ironi tne 1 Inevitable results of this bloody system. II j he could contribute tot lie overthrow ot this i system, auti the amelioration of tiiltt anfortunate cibt.R, lie would leel that lie had done 1 more in the service of the Stale tliun lie had > ever hoped to accomplish, and be appeuled to t the tilgtier sentiment of philanthropy and Christian duty of the members ot the House, Dot to torero the opportunity which the bill | presented of wiping out so fouiublot froiu the prouirtscutcheon of the State. , Mr. Blake of Abbeville opposed the views of Mr. liaskell, taking the ground thai the \ try evils so eloquently portrayed by him and ' worse had, In Ihe experience of the Western I penitentiary management, resulted from hiring out the convicts. incurable and loath- ' Hume disease contracted within the prison had thus In en disseminated through the community outside, and the poiicj of leasing out : was ever,) where belli): abandoned. Mr. Kaysor, supporting the Bill, said II was Important lo the Slate thut ihe Peniu ntlary should be s? It-sustaining, but he wa> eontldent iIkiI there was no one In the llouse who wiiu d have it so at tin- expense oi tin- huinane tie.iiu>ent ot the un-oituiiute criminals who ware the subjects of Its discipline. There could be no d<>ubi that uutler tbccontiaci aysteni ^real wrongs and enormities hail been couiiuitted and Iroin pist experience he regarded ft us absolutely necessary lor the pro> tectloo of the convicts that cvrtalu rtmtrlo ... #.. - j. HnMmwgmgmB X1 ;:; ; ~ lions should be thrown around lliolr management when outside 'lie walls of Hie Ponlieutlsry. It would not destroy the contract system to do so, us the lessees now have to employ guards to supervise the convicts, nnd the Bill only makes the guards directly responsible to the Superintendent and appointed by him. Mr. I.?'o raid, if the underlying motive ol tlio Bill wan that or humanity to Icasad oonvlcts; as claimed by its author, then it should prevent the leasing or convicts entirely : hut the Bill does not proposo to do this, but continues nnd realizes such hiring;, but under vuch harsh restriction* us practically calls In nil leased convicts nnd Insures thetn employment on the Columbia Canal. The inconsistency or the author ol the Bill can only be ex- < plained by himself,"If the leased convicts | were called In, It must result In overcrowding i the Penitentiary, and in the languor or the r Surgeon in his report "would be positively 11 dangerous to human lire." The Penitentiary!' would be no longer self-sustaining, but an ex- I pense to the State. | The existing laws carefully guarded the welfare of the convicts. It being the duty ol the . Superintendent unci Surgeon to visit anil In- I ipect the camps. This duly had been per- I 'ormed, the Annual Report declaring that !

There has been no recent, t roinplalnt of inhumanity." In short, the ri jrOposed Rill does not seeuru the humanity to I he convicts but me<?n? the calling In of the 1 >rlsoners; the over-crowding or the Peniten- f lary; Increased mortality among them; i nore labor f<<r the Columbia Canal; larger ( ippropriations for skilled labor; Improved I inplemcnts. engines and salaries to render ? hat labor effective: larger appropria'Ions for I obtaining the Penitentiary, and increased , t axes in the State, I* Air. liasKeil lnuignnnuy repi-iiwu mc m-i..- . mtions of the member from Sumter, and I turled his hypothetical assumptions tinderan valanche ot solid logic and fact, respecting I lie employment of the convicts outside ana ' f nslde the Penitentiary, and assuming the! iv pot helical style of Mr. Lee-' If the gentlenan from Snrnicr believes In the argument ie has presented in opposition to tiie Rill, \ hen I cay, with the opinion I hold of his .hility, I am not only Surprised, hut nstonllli-d." . ^ The hour assigned fbr the otcetion of n ?

I The discussion of the Convict Hill was rcumed. Mr. Uaysor earnestly advocated the f assage of the Bill on the ground ol liumuniMf. Parker moved nn amendment to the iro; Section, which strikes out from the Bill lie clause providing: 'And the parly hiring e Hall iiuvM no contr.i!. tint may direct, what t :ilx?r shall be done, and such orders shall l>e , xecuted iiy tne officer in charge."
