Cumberland (Jap and Chicago Railroad. Alitor Pre** and Banner : Allow us to congratulate you upon the clear; lemled and far-seeing articles published In our valuable piper against the monstrous ax, as is proposed to be levied to build the sowled Carolina,Cumberland Hap and Chicago *oad. You have Rounded the alarm ions, veil, and In due tline, and If the property >wners of Abbeville vote the tax, our word 6r It, they nor their children will ever recov!r from the but don. Taxes aic fearful now, mJ to double tliuin will be disastrous to nil I our interests. To entail such a debt upon I 'ourselves and your children will be to lower! he value of yotit propertyi Rhd sooneror later | irlve from among you many who nre no* | ;ood citizens and extensive property holders, f the tux Is voted, we advise you and other j >pponents to sell out at once to the friends of he scheme, and save something of what you 10W ImVe. Only look at Spartanburg atd i Ickens counties. It would be the merest nonsense to build meh a wild-cat rond even If you hud the mon>y, as It would run so close a parallel and for ;o long distance to such a strong corporation' ir the ('olumhtu and Greenville road. More* >ver, to build the road to Aiken is throwing noney away, simply because It would bring 10 competing freight rates. Please tell us vhat do the people buy now that comes by wny of Charleston ? Two-thirds of their purShases come from the great West and North, tnd what wood on earth would the Aiken end lo the people of Abbeville. Of course such a oad would cross the Greenwood and Augusta road at Troy, but would that be of any avail o the people of Abbeville? We say no, besause Western freights from Troy to Abbeville >vcr another monopoly would bo oppressive. Northern freights come even now almost intIrely by way of Greenville ami Columbia md not by Charleston, then why throw away noney on the Aiken and Charleston end? Itaitroad micj-csr deneuds oil irood starting uid ending teriniui', neither of which Hie nylhlcal Curolina, Cumberland Gap and Chisago Kond can claim. Think Again, that when the Savannah Valey Koad In completed, what an Insignificant, larrow isthmus Is left for the road bed of the -icliotlcld and (ircat ltrltaln road hetweec he progressive Savannah Valley and oppressive Columbia and Greenville roads. You It now shrewd money making men won't bury money in sueh a scheme, and for you to vote i tax to run as far as the first little mountain, uid there (jane and die, Ik the merest nonsense. For pity Kike, look at the Illue Itlilge tunnel and the death of the Great lllue Ridge tvhen striking the tirst mountain. The State spent millions of gold Iu attempting to cross the mountains and faileil, and now lor a few township* and towns to undertake such a thing Is truly cranky. Even if the road was built and presented to a strong corporation as i free gift it would not pay leakage and running expenses, but the poor man's tax would be gone all the same. You are right as well as In earnest about Ihe folly of sueli a tax and your rea.lers had better think seriously and take warning before putting the halter around their necks. Let their thoughts turn to a road from Greenwood bv way of Abbeville to Elberton, Athens ana to Atlanta. * * * Office White Sewing Machine To., 6."> Jt 07 1'EACIITItEE ST., Atlanta, Ua..

One of Bucklevel's tallest and most prominent young Indies was absent from Sundayschool yesterday afternoon. You must do better than that my friend. , sir: J. M.

Ignorance of ellquel to Is the re>nll of circumstances. All can | be condoned, and not banish men or women from the amenities of their kind. But self-! possessed, unshrinking,nnd aggressivecoarssncss of demeanor may lie reckoned as a State's prison offense, and certainly merits that mild sort of restraint called Imprisonment for life. It Is a shame for women to be lectured on Iheir manners. It Is a bitter shame that they need it. Women are the umpires of soeletv. It is they to whom all mooted points should be referred. To be a Infly Is more that to tie ri prince. A If.dy |s always In her right Inalienably worth*' of respect. To a lady, prince or peirsant alike bow. I)o not be restaincd. Do not have Impulses! that need restraint. Do not wish to dance with the prince unsought; feel differently; Re! sure you confer hohon Carry yourself sol loftily that men will look up to you for reward, nnd not at you In rebuke.
