The Press and Banner Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1886. Quack Medicine*. But now our Quauks are gamester*, and they play With craft and skill to ruin and betray; "\Viih monstrous promise they delude the mind, And thrive on all that t?rtues human-kind. Void of all honor, avaricious, rash, The daring tribe compound their boasted trash,? Tincture of syrup, lotion, drop or pill; ?ii t<> trust the lvinsr bill; And twenty nanus of cobblers turned to squires Aid the bold htncuase of these blushless liats.

With cruel avarice still they recommend Mori} draught*, more syrup, to tne journey's end. "1 feel it not."?"Then take it every hour." *-It makes me worse."?"Why, then it shows its power." "I fear to die. '?"Let not your spirits sink, You always safe while you believe and drink." How strange to add, in this nefarious trade. That men of parts are dupes by dunces made; That creatures nature meant should clean t.itr streets Have purchased lands and mansions, parks and seals: 'Wretches with conscience so obtuse, they leave Their untanuhtsons their parents to deceive; And when they're laid upon their dying bed, No thought of murder cines into their head ; 0 * * m * And then in many a paper through the year. Must cures and cases, oaths and proofs, appear; Men snatched from graves, as they were dropping in. Their lungs coughed up, their boues pierced through their skin; Their liver all one scirrhus, and the frame Poisoned with evils which they dare not name; Men who spent all upon physician's fees. Who never slept, nor had a moment's ease, Are now as roaches sound, and all as brisk as bees. ***** .Tmnbled with something in your bile or blood, You think your doctor does you little good; And, grown impatient, you require in haste The nervous cordial, nor dislike the taste; It comforts, heals, and strengthens; nay,you think I?. makes you better every time you drink ; Who tipples brandy will some comfort feel, But will he to the medicine set his seal? ***** No class escapes them?from the poor man's pay "1 no nostrum uikcs ?v , 8ee! those square patent bottles from the shop Now decoration to tbecupboard's top; And there a favorite hoard you'll And within, Companions meet! tbe iulep and tbe gin. * * * ? ? Suppose the case surpasses human skill, There comes a quack to flatter weakness still; "What greater evil can a flatterer do, Than from himself to take tbe sufferer's view ? To turn from sacred thoughts his reasoning powers, And n?h? sinner of his dying hours? "Vet this they dare, and, craving to the last. In ho|*e's strong bondage hold their victim fast: }'or 6<nil or body no concern have they, All their inquiry. "Can the patient pay ? And will he swallow draughts until his dying day ?" Observe what ills to nervous females flow, When the heart flutters and the pulse is low; If once induced these cordial sips to try. All feel the ease, and few tbe danger fly; For. while obtained, of drams they've all the force, And when denied, the drams are the resource. Who wtuld not lend a sympathizing sigh, To hear yon infant's pity-moving crv ? Then the good nurse (who, had she borne a brain, Had sought the cause that made her babe complain) lias all her efforts. loving soul! applied To set the cry, and not the cause, aside; She gave her powerful sweet without remorse, The sleeping cordial,?*be has tried its force, Repeating oft; the infant, treed from pain, Rejected food, but took the dose again. Sinking to sleep, while she her joy expressed, That her dear charge could sweetly take his rest. Soon may she spure her cordial; not a doubt Remains but quickly he will rest without. What then our hopes??perhaps there may by law Be method found these [tests to curb and awe; "Y ef. in this land of freedom, law is slack With any being to commence attack: Then let us trust to science,?there are those Who can their falsehoods and their frauds disclose, All their rile trash detect, and their low tricks expose. 1'erhaps tbeir numbers may in time confound ?mo iu.mii{,,n<i f'iva themselves the wound ! y?r when these curers dwell in every place, "While of the cured wo not a man can trace, fctr?n;r truth may thpii the public mind persuade, Aand spoil the fruits of Ibis nefarious trade. . RAILROADS IN THE STATE. ? More Than Two Hundred Miles of New Railroads Built in Five Years. jVYuv and Courier. In 1880 there were 1,403 miles of railroads in South Carolina. Since that time 240 miles have been eompleted, and many other important enterprises of this character are in prouress or projected. The new roads traverse tlie following counties: Abbeville, Barnwell. Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Edgefield, Georgetown, Laurens, Marlboro', Spartanburg, Sumter, Williarcsburg. The following is a complete list of the railroads constructed since 1S&0, number of miles of each, points connected, and the aggregate cost: Augusta and Knoxville Railroad?Connecting Augusta., with Greenwood, S. C.t 51 miles in South Carolina. Barnwell Railroad ?Connecting Barnwell Court House with Blackvllle. 9 miles. Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad?Connecting Cheraw with Wadesboro', N. C., 11 miles in South Carolina. Eutawville Railroad ? Connecting 41-mile station with Holly Hill, 12 miles. To be continued to Sumter Court House. " T <? ? s\'c* I>oi I pAnM/irtf. UfOI^eWIWll <XIJ U UtlllC O IVrtUH/UU VVU11CVVina Georgetown and Lane's Itf miles. Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad?Connecting Greenwood wita Spartanburg Court House, 6fi miles. Savannah Valley Railroad?To connect McCormlck with Anderson Court House, 4, miles completed. South Carolina Pacific Railroad ? From North Carolina State line, where it Joins the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, to Bennettsvllle, S. C.. 10 miles. The cost of construction was $2,610,000. The following list shows how these roads were )>ullt and by what system of roads they are now operated: Aucustaani KnoxvilleRailroad?Constructed by subscription. Operated under the Georgia Central System. Earnwell Railroad ? Constructed by subscription. Operated by the South Carolina Railway Company. Central Railroad of South Carolina?Constructed by subscription. Operated under the Atlantic Coast Line System. Cberaw and Salisbury Railroad?Constructed by suoscription. Operated under the Atr lanlie Coast Line System. Eutawvllle Railroad?Constructed by subscription. Operated by the South Carolina Railway Company. Georgetown and Lane's Railroad?Constructed by subscription. Operated under the Atlantic Coast Line System. Savannah Valley Rail road?Constructed by the Georgia Central System. (Not in operation.) South Carolina Pacific Railroad?Construct? cd subscription. Operated by the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. It will thus be seen that the people of the State have paid out over two and a half million dollars for building railroads within the lfcst five years. The interest in railroad buildinsr, which has always been great, in South Carolina, is more active at this time, possibly, than at any former period. In every section of the State new lines are projected. The fo.lowing are some of the inore important: Work on the Savannah Valley Railroad is in progress, and on the Aiken, Kdgefield and Trenton; the Greenville and Port Royal, connecting the mountains and the coast, has been surveyed from Greenville U? Johnston's, on the Charlotte, ColumHa and Augusta, the Narrow Guage from Augusta, Ga., via Newberry, to Union and Glenn Springs, and the route from Spartanburg to Lnion, and another from Shelby, N. C, via Gattney City, to Union. The western townships of York county are much interested in the projected railroad from the Ohio River to Charleston, Cherokee Township has already voted $25,000 in bonds in aid of this enterprise. Cleveland county, N. C., adjoining York, has subscribed ?75,000. Rutherford county. N. C., $100,000, McDowell county, N. C.. ?50,000 and Mitchell county, N. C., S100.000, making a total subscription of S 100,000 iu a distance of one hundred miles. This is an important enterprise not only to that section of the State, but to the City of Charleston, bi* giving an independent line to Charleston and diverting the traffic from Baltimore and Norfolk to the natural market of this section. Another route has been projected through Sumter county to cross the Santee at Wright's Bluff and tap the Wllmiugtou, Columbia and Augusta Railroad at Sumter. The Georgetown and North Carolina Railway has made some progress. There are two projected railways through the county, neither as yet located, one; to cross the Santee Hiver below Wright's Bluff *nd strike the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Ht Sumter. The other Hue litis made more progress, and is called the Georgetown and North Carolina Railway. The project is from Georgetown to Lane's, ;is miles; then connecting with Northeastern 3 tall road to Charleston, 52 miles: from Lane's I over the Central to Sumter, 40 miles; from Sumter to Camden, 30 miles; thence to Lancaster, 40 miles; thence by way of Rock Hill to Yorkvllle, 35 miles; thence to North Carolina line to connect with road to Shelby, 30 miles, and thence by roads already constructed to Cincinnati, making a route 200 miles shorter than to any other South Atlantic port. The funds from Sumter to the North Carolina line are to be raised by subscription, and as *oon as from $1,000 to $5,000 per mile is assured, the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company propose to take the subscription itmd build trie road for the 1st mortgage bonds. The subscription so far amounts as follows: .Sumter county, 22 miles, ?90,000; Kershaw .county, 32 miles, $150,0-J0; Lancaster, 17 miles, 470,000; Chester county, 8 miles, $50,000; the, matter has not yet been submitted to the peo- j pleof York county. The projected line will | l)dan thjvuyh a country greatly ucediug rail' BBMWMH1?P? BBBBteMBBBMB I way facilities nnil crossing those lines already { I constructed nearly at right ancles. There are ! ! two railways already built in .Sumter county j i with some ir> or 20 stations. j A narrow guage railroad connecting NinetySix, in Abbeville, with Greenville is contem-1 plated. The length of the proposed line is j about tiO miles. The people of Fairfield have in view the] building of al road to connect. Camden and 1 Ilidgeway. Another suggested route is to con- j nect. Greenville and Alston. Another is from j Chester to Camden.; A road is projected from Lydia, in "Darling-! ton county, to I/incaster C. H. It will open. I up a very line countiy in parts of Darlington,; Kershaw and Lancaster. The Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry Iload j will run from Auuusta to Newberry across the j full lensth of Edgefield county. Another road is projected from Greenville! to Ninety-Six, with line prospects of being! K..II* The Aiken, Chicago and Cumberland Gap j Railroad has been partly graded in Aiken county. j At the last session of the Legislature the following roads were chartered: The Augusta and Abbeville Railroad, the Savannah Valley and Klberton Railroad, the Chester, Greenwood and'Abbeville Railroad, the Hlackviile and Alston Railroad, the Wilmington Chadbourn and Conway Railroad, the Cneraw and <'amden Short Line Railroad, the Mount Pleasant and Sea View Railroad, the Orangeburs: and Lewisdale Railroad, the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad, the Orangeburg and Ninety-Six Narrow Gauge Railroad, and the Eastern South Carolina Railroad. AJ.l of these are important enterprises, the completion of which would greatly develop; the resources of the State. Taking the Census. Union Times. There is much ground for complaint against j the Legislature for not passing the appropriation to defray the expenses of taking the census, but. so far as this county is concerned, a new apportionment would weaken instead of strengthen us, particularly in the congres- j sional and judicial conventions. We think the census should have been taken, as the constitution commanded, and no| local or sectional feeling or interest should | have had any weight in influencing the Leg-1 islature to swerve from the strict line of con- j stitutional duty each member had solmnly i sworn to pursue. As to the expense, the o ih-irtn >i t tin i l) eiinl I Mf.j| n f. that it. I would not be felt by the peopie at large. One thing is certain to our' minds the sectional feeling now growing so strong in this State Is born of the grasping and assumption of ureater wealth and intelligence of Charleston and other counties in the lower part of the State. It was Charleston's wealthy influence that increased the rate of interest throughout the State from 7 to 10 per cent, and it is that same influence Unit is keeping money at that price, to the very material detriment and loss of those less fortunate citizens in the upper part of the State who are striving to get from under a burden of debt or are compelled to borrow money to farm upon. While we have no word to say against Charleston, which, from the showing made lately, is growing rapidly in wealth, we confess our ignorance and want of perception in not beiiig able to see her great liberality toward any other part of the State, or any unselfish publie spirit evinced by her, by which she may reasonably claim undue power aud influence in the State government. The Carolina au<l Cumberland Gap Railroad. Edgefield Chronicle. The meeting of the stockholders of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad was held at Aiken on Wednesday, loth, instant, the meeting of the Directors having been held at the same place on the previous day. Gen. Johnson Hagood resigned the office of President and Col. It. E Bowen.of Pickens, was made president pro tem. Col. Aldrich, of Aiken, acted as secretary. Mr. Schofleld, the financial agent, was presentand made a report of his operations in trying to place the bonds of the road with the , capitalists of Europe. He read a cablegram, li,o? mnnii'nrl f,.?.r.i n 11 n in kw.r> < if* Vn rr I i tji tin 11 L*. ers, stating tlmt (hey were prepared lo take $7,500,000 or the bonds of the road if the sum of $2,500,000 con Id be placed in this country, and Mr. Schofield expressed himself as being conlident that he could raise the required $2,500,000. In regard to the contract with Childa & Oliver, an effort was made to cancel this contract j but as it was impracticable to do so a proposi- j lion from them was accepted which released! the stockholders of the Carolina division from j the first mortgage held by them to the extent I of $16,000 a mile. It will be remembered that the mortgage on the road bed in favor of Childs & Oliver is $22,000 of first mortgage bonds and $15,000 of income bonds per mile, and it is this mortgage, as we understand it. that lifts been released to the extent of $10,000 a mile in favor of the Carolina directors. The proceedings of the meeting were not of a very interesting character, and we regret to say that we see nothing in what was done to j justify a more hopeful view of this great on-; terprise. Every thing still depends on what i Mr. Schofield may do in placing the bonds ol! the road, and whilst we believe that Mr.Schofleld is and has been doing all that he can, the fact remains that as yet he has done nothing. Au Elopement. Union limes. The serenity of our quiet little town was greatly disturbed last Wednesday afternoon by the sudden and suspicious disappearance of Mr. W. H. Pool, a merchant, and Miss Fannie Graham, a very pretty young lady, only daughter ot Mr. W. T. Graham, a prosperous merchant of this town. The first intimation received by the parentsof the yours: lady that their daughter had eloped with Pool was from lie v. \V. M. Foster, who had been called to marry them, a short distance from town, but refused, and immediately went toMr.Graham and informed him of what was eoing on. But it was too late. The fleeing couple were in a buggy behind a fast horse, and their route not known. About four o'clock in the afternoon news came that they were seen on the road to Cross Keys, their horse in a foam. That evening, we learn, they were married at Cross Anchor. Miss Graham was but little more than fourteen years old, and her unaccountable conduct bus left her parents in great distress. The Register mid (he Parish System. Greenville Xcws. The Columbia Register, in the course of an article on the old parish system, says: "The whole low country representation came here looking at things from that high standpoint; and their attitude beiore the whole State habitually put io rebuke the war on the parish system which some of the up country demagogues continued to auitato for their own political aggrandizement." B. F. Perry, of Greenville, was a consistent and earnest-opponent of the parish system and led the agitation against it. Surely the Ileitist"r does not class him among the "up country demagogues."
