r I' w s k 5 Press and Banner. AUUEVILL10, S.C. Wednesday, Oct. 20, 1885. t'liroliiiu, <'Uliil?orIn;i?l (iiip mill cliioico Knilroiul. The annual meeting ot the stockholders of the Carolina, Cumberland (lap an<l Chicago JMIi-oad Is advertised lo lake place on the-Mil ?Vf 'SovphiIttv at Aiken. As this meeting may prove to bo of. great Importance lo our people, we call their attention to the fmt. If we mistake not we have remit n some of our papers a paragraph setting fortli the idea that a re organization of the Company would ho effected at (hut meeting. If we are correct in this opinion, the ProsUlvnt and anunihorof the present I?irectors may contemplate resigning their places, which act would of course necessitate the elect Ion of new men to tilt the vacaucles thus occasioned. While the present Directors liohl their places we f-'el tiiat the people are perfectly Rifo from hnrtn, not because wo have ?i?y belief that our rights are secured to us by leual forms, but becauso 1110 omvers of tho road have given us their |iromli>o, niul their personal character Is ueli that they would not be false to their trusts, and their reputation stands so high that they could not a third to do anything else than to act fairly, even if disposed to do otherwise. We are tlien doubly secure from liarm so long ns they remain in ofllee. They may not build the road, but tH?y will not *akoonr money unless they do build it. Hut if they should resign their places, as President and Directors, and the stockholders elect, new officers, the people then will be at tlie mercy of tho new 1'resident ami Uiveetors, who will take their otllccs unconditionally mid untrammelled by any ot the promises wblcb have heretofore been made 1?U*. Our only absolute safety then lies in the keeping of the uUl I'rcsi lctU and Directors in ?<" Ctflce. Tho most enthusiastic advocate of taxation for the railroad, we think, would admit that there is enough doubt as to the validity ol the verbal promises, which were made to un outside of the forms of law, toautliorlzo a suit at law to enforce the collection of the taxes. The new Direction may determine to collect the taxes, and goon with the work. They jnay do this from the purest anJ best of molives, or they nviy do it as a means of speculation and for the real purpose of building the road, l'.ut no matter what the motive, the calamity will he all the same to us, if we have to pay our money without getting the road. If stockholders are on the alert, they may nvike ?n effort to attend tho meeting or may be careful In giving Instructions to those whom they may delegate to act for them. We Jo not know If Cornier proxies will hold Ko.k1 tit the next meeting, butweiire Inclined to the opinion that they are so worded as to ? hold good until revoked. Iii tho hands of the stockholders rest the responsibility of choosing proper officers, and tlie responsibility involves the welfare of our people. The election of new officers lstheact of the Ktockholders, and they primarily aro respon| slble. In connection with this, wo would disavow nny intention to throw any obstacle In the I way of the progress of this ro.ul. We merely Ef'. . de.>ire lo call attention to the situation. 1 Recognizing the cordial and hearty support ? which the friends of this road have given to the Klborton, Kn right and Abbeville road, we B hopo to do nothing In the future which may I be considered uukind or as detrimental to tho MY' welfare and success of the Carolina, CumberI hind Gap and Chicago Uallroud. In which so Br;,. many of our friends feel so deep an interest. B We learn that Mr. Twiggs having linB islicd the grading of the Savannah Val8 ley Uallroad carried tho convicts back to 9 the penitentiary last week. It Is said that K be. however, beforo doing so, proposed to the president of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap & Q| Chicago Kail road to cotntneuce work on the road,on tho faith of the county BXu>scripuouM, but that General Hagood, faithful to his trusts, refused to expend our money without reasonable prospects of having the road flnlshod. General Hairood's action In this matter is In keeping with his character as a man Hiid ttu officer. Everybody has tho utmost confidence in his integrity, but as It is said that lie contemplates resigning his office, it Is earnestly hoped that before he docs resign, that lie wilt bind his successors In office to carry out his pledges, by tiling tho promised paper bludlng them to a faithful carrying out of his pledges. The meeting In Aiken Is of vast Importance to this town, and its Interests should be fully represented by a delegation who will Investigate thoroughly before electing new officers. Let our people look to their Interests. For sonio reason unknown to us, our people are Jiot officially notlUed of this re-organization, although they arc the largest stockholders. A Kindly HnprgCKllou. Tho Associate Itc/ormcd Presbyterian has the following kindly suggest Ion : The J'rcsx 'iml Untuier Is contemplating a change of lorin?eight nage weekly.

We linve for a long timo contemplated printing a paper trl-weekiy, but have been nfrald tlio course might not be profitable to printer or readers. When we get p. new railrond, wo may try tho experiment. Our fricud'a suggestion as to change of form is too late. Tho printed sheets for tho first issue have been scut forward. If we should flndln the future that the pre sent si/.e is more desirable than tho proposed form, we will not hesitate to return to It. Already wo find difficulties In tho way. Wo do not know how to arrange tho homo printed matter on four pages, instead of two as at present.

At ten minutes past ten o'clock the prison . er, John C. Ferguson, was brought from the Jury room, when ho occupied the bench in the dock. The prisoner seems to besomewhat indisposed, and during the time while waitins; lor progress in the trial, he was allowed to ' retire to the Jury room, that he might be more ' at ease or more comfortable, or perchance that he might be freed from the gaze of the crowd, ills manner indicates an appreciation of the gravity of the situation. Tho question as to whether tho prisoner ! should t>e arraigned. The Court expressed u perfect willingness to accede to the wishes of j' tne prisoner in this particular. Solicitor Orr J said that he had been arraigned at a previous ' Court, and it was his custom to hare the < :ierk 5 commence with "these good and lawful men," Ac., of tho arraignment.

Editor Press and lianner: About thirty-flvc years ago the Idea of hillside ditching was first Introduced; the Instructions were to give the dltchas 3 to 5 Inches rail In every 12 feet, then to lay oil the rows parallel with the ditches, claiming that each row would carry oir Its own water, and In wise of a heavy rain and a break across the rows, the ditch would receive and carry the water out; but unfortunately the ditch would bccotne filled with loose soil and woterand wash out a sluice 50 or more feet wide down the cntlreextcnt of tlicfleld. The Dext Idea was to give the ditches very little fall and to lay oil* rows on a dead level between the ditches. This might have proven successful If It had been strictly adhered to, but to carry a rafter level day after day laying off row* was a little too much work for tho average South Carolina farmer, consequently the level was abandoned aud laying oil the rowsbythccyc adopted, and the result has been that no operation of tho farmer has contributed so much to tho destruction of our rolliug lands as hillside ditching and so-called horizontal rows, as evidenced by our scarred hillsides and gullied fields. If hillsldo ditches accomplished all that was ever claimed for them, even tho entire preservation of our lands from washing, every Intelligent farmer will admit the utter Impossibility with tho prescut system of labor of having them properly attended to. Hillside ditches being a failure, must we not resort to sonic other method to prevent the washing of our lands? Many Intelligent tanners 01 our sister suuu wi-or^m, nuvu Adopted and with great success the system of terracing their lands. Not fully understanding this terracing I confess I had no faith in It. I>ast March while confined to a sick hed a gentleman came to my house ottering n patent level for sale; with some rcluctanec I allowed hlra to terraee a pet lleld of ten acres, upon which I had expended many hours of lahor In ditching and grading. As soon as I could walk I repaired to the Held, nnd when I saw how accurately the work had been accomplished and In so Utile lime, and how remote my rows were from a level, though laid olt with greatcarc, I was led to exclaim, For the preservation of land, terracing Is certainly the grandest conception of the age! I at once ordered o lovel and had the remainder (ii acres) of unprepared land terraced. During the cultivation and growth of my crop I was not blessed with the copious rains of other sections, yet all the rain that fell was absorbed by thi earth, none escaping, and the crops coutinued to grow and flourish. During the heavy fall rains I have failed to find a single terrace broken and only now and then where water ran across the rows. The water Is absorbed by the land where it falls aud I am satisfied that a good crop may be raised with or 30 per cent, less rain. From my experience I,would sum up Its advantages as follows: 1st. Cost of constructing terraccs, trifling: 2nd, Cost of keeping them up but little; 3rd, because of the absorption, in a great degree, of the rain just where it falls, a better crop can be produced either a wet or dry season;-1th, In broadcast I harrowing you can take in the entire breadth of lleld, passing right over terraces, renewing them at once by a turning plow; 5th, they are not in the way of reaping or hauling oir the crop as arc ditches ; 8th, The land will be Improved by the fertilizing ingredients contained in the rain distributed and held In every portion of the soil?In proof of this, I find in walking along a row several days after a rain, that the dampness Is about the same through its entire length; 7th, When tennants or croppers work our lands a little labor and attention on the part of the proprietor in this direction would save the ultimate destruction of his land ; 8th, in seeding tn uinnll frnln. if land bo nlonehod with the terraces, during long winter rains the water would not collect In low places producing too great growth and oftentimes Inducing rust. The great facility with which land may bo terraced and rows laid off certalnly should Induce every fartnor to devote a few to days this worlc. Then let us go to work nnd preserve trom destruction by washing rains our lands, the only heritage wo have to bequeuth to those who come after us. It. A. GIUFFIN. The Narrow Guage, mid a New I<lea fur it. [Greenville The friends of the proposed narrow guage railroad in this city are now discussing it new Idea lit connection with it which seems to be a good one. The purpose of those Interested > in the road lias alt along been to build it as j means were available, completing and ex-, lending it gradually and operating it on the I completed purl Ions. It was thought that ! building should be>{tn at the other end of the I line but It Is now suggested that work should be begun hero with the $15,000 subscription of! Piedmont and l'elzer and the road build and i operated between this city and those points. It is argued that, this method would ?l vo the I roadaitood local business to begin with and put It In good eouUition to be extended rapidly and cheaply, and that a railroad already built and In operation would commane more of public confidence and support than if It was in the ulr or only graded. Capt. W. J. Kirk says the total cost of a narrow guage from here to Pelzer via Piedmont would be SiHMwO. including one engine und a full complement of cars. It could be operated at a cost of $IO,oOO n year, including 7 per ceut, interest on SJS.00!) of bonds. Capt. Kirk says there aro now more than a thousand narrow guage rdilroaas in operation, | varyiug in leiiKiii iiuhi mu k? uumuiiuh ui i miles, it ml thai Poor's manual will show that not 0110 of them has fulled to pny.
