People interested in journalism were perhaps a little surprised on Thursday to learn that the Gazelle, a daily paper started last summer in Augusta, had come to its end. There were those who thought from llio first > that as Augusta could not support two good dailies, the "survival of the flttet.s" would involve the downfall of the now comer. Rut the Gazelle, notwithstanding a deal of blowing, seemed to have points of strength that might sustain it. It was in many respects an excellent paper. One aim of the pub'ishers seemed to he the constant Improvement, of their journal. The editorials, barring an excess of articles on the tariff, and the abusive onos about a competitor, were In good taste and of more than; ordinary ability. The paper seemed a live one in all its departments, not excepting the i m portant element Of advertising patronage. There was a frequent boast in its columns that the Gazelle had a "large and growing" subscription list. Thus things ?iw>med nromisintr. But the end came soon enough. It may not much interest the general public to discuss the probable onuses tlmt produced the death of a once promising candidate for public favor. ]lut there are?considerations affecting Journalism as a business which are applicable to other branches of business as well. In perhaps tho chief cause of failures In Journalism may bo found tho notion that a paper may live on more sentiment?on the vague expression from somo people that they "ought to have ^another paper."' It is seldom, however, that this sentiment finds expression In that sort of support which a paper must have before it can come near being self-sustaining. Without considering whether Augusta can support two dailies, it is plain that there was not any such opposition to the existing paper as might give the new one a footing after six months' trial. The Chronicle evidently possessed the; confidence iof tho community, i Individuals criticised it, hut there was never any impression that the paper was either : corrupt or corruptible. Possibly this fact helped to lead the management of the Gazelle into the blunder of making personal attacks upon Mr. Patrick Walsh, the| head of^tlie Chronicle. The tlrst impression made by these attacks was"likely to be one ol' surprise. People wondered how a mail now so roundly , abused could, until tho new paper started its crusade, have a good name in the comniunity. The next impression arose from the discovery that the onslouglit proceeded from those who would euiu by the downfall of the person attacked, and it was not favorable to tho new paper. Those of the community who thought that there ought to be two paper were rather disappointed when the now ono dovot- 1 ed so much of its attention to tiring hot shot ' at very long ratine. They had expected better things. Thus it soon come about that the < Uuzi'Uc must stand or fall on its own merits. : It was no better paper than the Chronicle?M i was In some particulars its inferior. It hod 110 special mission?it had no exclusive constituency. It failed because it could not hold out against a long-establised paper, enjoying us it deserved aud still dcserves.to'enjoy, the confidence of the people of Augusta.

K. & W. road has boon let to contract. Work on thin is to bo pushed very rapidly and the company has the contractors under bond to'do so. About *10 miles remain to be let in South Carolina. This will be 1(4. very soon and men put to work on the entire line. This road is destined to be of incalculable advantage to Knoxville and East Tennessee. It gives our farmers a much needed outlet into the best country for selling grain, hay, poultry, and stock. It gives our coal dealers the best territory for them and one in which they cn.il ?!f?fv anv competition which can come against them. It also opens to the world some of the finest bodies of timber and mineral lands. This road alone will add 10,000 to Knoxville's population within the next two or three years. linker- A daius. Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock a quiet marriage was performed at St. Paul's church, Rev. C. C. Williams, the pastor, officiating. A large number of the friends of the contracting parties were present to witness the ceremony. Miss Mary Adams, the daughterof Mr. Lawrence A. Adams, a youug lady who is esteemed by a large eirele of friends and admirers for her many eliarms and graces, made a pretty, dignified bride as she walked up the aisle leaning on the arm of the groom, unaccompanied, and dressed in a travelling suit. Prof. Wiegand presided at the organ and hailed the entrance of the pair with the wedding march. Mr. James Baker, the groom, is a prominent young merchant of Lowndesville, S. C., and was the recipient of congratulations on all sides after the ceremony for having won so charming an Augusta lady for his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Baker left on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta train last uigbt for Washington, D. C., where they will spend several weeks, and were accompanied to the depot by a host of friends.?Chronicle. Due West, 8. C., Feb. 6, 1S88. Miss White left for Greenville Friday.

Owing to the kindness of friends we enjoyed our stay in Abbeville last week. me Missionary wocieiy was addressed last Thursday night by Dr. Lathan, the President. "O. P. H." lias come forward as the leader of tbe "Antis." A worthy and suitable officer. Who will enlist as his lieutenants? Dr. Lindsay made an able address at the Female College last week on "Modern Life." We regret not having heard it as we would give a more exteuded notice of this excellent address. Dr. E. H. Edwarwards left for Tallapoosa last Monday to be gone some time. We understood that those interested there think that the city is keeping up very well. On account of the rains the semiannual celebration of the Philomathean Society was put oft from Friday to Saturday evening. The "Sage of Chickasaw" wants us to "ruminate" on the factory. When we have nothing to say, wo don't say anything. Other could imitate this virtue with profit. The editor of Press and Banner tells us that his journalistic success in a monetary way was never better than at present. He is revolving other improvements in his mind. It. S. G. ? Tlint Itlair-iilniiioy Bill ? Sensible Words on thv Threatened Curse. The Senate then took up the Blair - .1 i! 1 l.!11 1 < euucuuouai nm, unu oeuutui iuui^uu addressed tlie Senate in opposition to it. He said : "The retroactive effect of the bill up- 1 on the schools themselves would be to cause them to rely upon the Government of the United States, and to disassociate them entirely from reliance on their home and State governments. Such unlimited, unrestricted, unguard- i ed, unjust powers, backed with such untold millions of money as this bill confers upon the secretaty of the in- j terior, had never before been confided ( to such an officer, a mere clerk of the President. He would not consent that , the State of Alabama should be put ( under any such coercion, moral or j nr over exnosed to temota tion uuder this bill. If Congress ^ would take off the burden of surplus taxation Alabama would take care of her own commou schools. She was doing it now in a way to pnt to the blush many of the old States. The 1 framers of this bill seemed to think ' that the whole of the United States 1 was to be put upon the blanket Indian basis, to be lassooed, and put into i schools. The next step in the progress I of usurpation would be compulsory < education. The school-master intended to take possession of the land, and ; l.So V?; 11 wnnlil iriwr> him in flip SUsife of Alabama two millionsayear in salaries, < while all the State expenses of the Government were but $000,000." Senator Blair remarked that he did , not believe in compulsory education. , Senator Morgan said that that was certainly the only reason why com- , pulsory education was not in the bill, ' because the Senator from New Hainp- ^ shire had got everything else in it that he believed in. As to the political objects of the bill, the senior Senator from New Hampshire (Blair) wantedtobro- 1 ter.t the ballot box by educating the negroes, while the junior Senator (Chandler) wanted to do it by taking shotguns out of the hands of the white 1 men. That was the proposition. They had no more rignt 10 mieriere with a man's voting in the State of ' .Mississippi than he (Morgan) had to interfere with a man's going to church , in New Hampshire. He believed that education was safer in the handsof the fathers and mothers in the community than in the hands of "patent outside" ( teachers, and that one of tho defects . of the common school system was the ' discouraging of the co-operation of parents. i Several attempts had been made by Congress to benefit the condition of the negroes. The Freeduian's Iiank < whs one of them. It did not make tho negroes rich, but it made other people rich. This bill was another gift to the ' negroes, but it was a gift which would | destroy them. ic would take trom that race of people all the manhood ' which they possessed, and prevent the very best oflbrts of their friends in the South from making anythingof them. He concluded by expressing the hope that he would never again be called * upon to speak ou the Blair bill. Extracts from Christian Neighbor. RcslKuatlon of Mr. L. D. Palmer. At a meeting of the Book Committee held on Wednesday, January 25, 1888, Mr. L. D. Palmer, who has held tiie position of Business Manager of the Publishing House of tlieM. E.

Mr. Garfield was a member of the "Christian" Church at the time of his death, and had been a member during many years previous to that sad event. He was a regular minister in that denomination, to the time when he was commissioned as a General, and occasionally he preached after that time.

They must submit to the Governor a * list of the journals they wish to re- ? 3a ceive during the year: this list is of ten curtailed, and the periodicals al lowed to enter are almost invariably Jfk defaced by the Oencor's brush. This year the Governor of Poland deigned no reply to the petition of the Polish journalists, and all their foreign ex- ^ changes are cut off. So short was the recent and appre- .... $gj ciated visit of Mr. Wilson, of the Press and Banner, that we did not get much more than half through the s "program" of journal and incidental talk before he was off and gone. Hope our friend will do better next time? before long. Charleston has suffered from the work of very skillful and determin?d burglars for the last six months. They were captured February 2, at their nest on Meeting Street, and proved to be two negroes under twenty years of age. An ice gorge at St. Louis severa *S' hundred yards wide and eighteen to twenty feet thick is crushing and ^ ~ grinding to ruin thousands of dollars worth of property. Many steamers and barges have been sunk or broken to pieces. Special May lie Made More General. While the mission of the Neighbor is specially that of Peace verms War, it is not indifferent toward those interests k) which other journals are more or less specially devoted. But . ? as these seldom do more than incidentally to speak in favor of peace and against war, this editor feels a corresponding constraint to keep the Christian doctrine of peace before the people. If other journals, even the religious, manifested more interest in peace?the burden of the gospel of Christ?and presented a more direct and defined front again9t war?"the abomination of desolation"?then the * /- ^ Neighbor might give more attention to matters of less importance than that of which the heavenly host sang at the birth of the Savior?"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace aud good will toward meu"? The highest glory to Uod in neaven was the birth of Jesus. The greatest good to men 011 earth was the peace and good will which which Jesus came to give the world, and which he did give, and which he left in and with the Church and the world. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: uotasthe world giveth, give I unto you." Though itcould not be expected that publications committed mainly to other subjects should give much atten tion to the subject of peace, yet there has been within the last twenty-five years, a gratifying increase of attention given to the subject of peace by many of the periodicals of this and other couutries. This is true of the - secular press as well as of the religious. Let due credit be given to all who speak peace. It mattery little who speaks or prints the truth, so it is spokeu and printed for th? people to hear and read. "Therefore, whether it * ... j were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." The worth of no printed page has ever been discounted. amone thinking people, because it con tained a paragraph or eveu a column in favor of peace. # Someone has said: "Inspiration is not confined to what men call religious exercises or religious natures. God inspired Noah, who was a shipcarpenter, mid Isaac, who was a herdsman, and Joseph, who conducted through seven years a magnificent mercantile operation and saved a nation by wise buying and selling, and Moses, who was a legislator, no less than David, who was a poet, and Paul who was a preacher. Of this Inspiration in common life the Scripture narrative affords a striking illustration. Bezaleel was an architect. He was to work in silver and gold, in cutting of atones, and carving of wood, and in embroidering of hangings. For this work, Ciod tilled him with wisdom, and understanding, and knowlege. He inspired him as much to do the work of the carver, and carpenter, and mason, and decorator, as he did Aaron to do the work of a priest or Moses that of a lawgiver. ? The vacancy in the postollice at Williamson caused by the removal of E. B. DonnaM has been filled by the appointment of A. H. Ford. Chancellor P. H.
