To the Editor of the News and Courier: In

from Greenville, lu which your correspondent
repeats a story to the effect that "Capt. D. K.
.Norrls was forced to leave Orangeburg couDty
Jn consequence of immoral conduct?' Now
we, the undersigned, old neighbors and acquaintances
of Capt. D. K. Norris. among

should be circulated through the re-|

unsolicited by any one,saveour sense of right |
and Justice to our old neighbor, to denounce i

known Capt. U. K. Norris all his life, and a|
more honorable, upright and pure citizen Orangebur*

Only a short time ago. some of our correspondents
made note that lands tiad been
brought by a syndicate at the crossing of the
G. C. & N. road and the Savannah Valley
Railroad, where it was proposed to build a
new town which should draw trade for miles
around, and whose advantages would be instrumental
in bringing new citizens to the
invitlnp fields which lay in close proximity.
The lands were to be divided and sold In lots,
and all sorts of enterprises were expected to
be born and reared in that section which has
been so long lacking in those pursuits which
bring prosperity.
And now It will afford our readers pleasure
to know that Mr. Pat Calhoun, ol New York,
has at this time, at Millwood, two civil engineers
engaged in the work making a preliminary
survey of that immense water power,
which has so long been said to be, the
best In :ill this country. The sites for factories
are to be planned, and the cost of building a
canal is to be investigated.
The building of factories at Millwood will
of course depend upon the cost of utilizing
the power. If the cost should be low enough
to enable Mr. Calhoun and his company to
run factories profitably, the factories will be
built.
The engineers, Mr. E. A. Calcut, and his
assistant, Mr. H. T. Sherman, express tlicinselves?after
having casually goue over the
"round?as believing that it is finer than
the power at Augusta, which is ten thousand
horse power.
These gentlemen further say, that the canal
ran be easily built, and at small cost.
The outlook for building in this county an
immense lactory and a booming town was
never better. Owing to the lack of transportation,
and the inducements which the rallroad
offered, on the Eastern side of the
county, that side of the county has not
flourished during the last forty years. Hut
now with superior railroad facilities, a demand
will becrcated for the vast areas of uncultivated
lands in that section, and the
probability is, that the matchless water power
on the Savannah will be put to some useful
industry.
The building of the Savannah Valley Railroad
and the construction of the G. C. <fe N.
road through that part of the County has penetrated
und opened up a larger territory than
could be found in other desirable sections of
LUC OUIbC, UX1U OLiUUlU UUt UU PUipuotU IV
see another Greenwood on the Savannah.
A new town, a large factory, aud two new
railroads will change the appearance of all
that country.
Those of our fellow citizens who own vast
areas of land, may now bocoine rich lti the
enhanced value of their hitherto unprofitable
lands.

The quick work of the Pres* and Banner in
eetting the result of the election before the
people last Saturday was the wonder of the
crowd.
The voters of this County have a nut to
crack. D. K. Norris must get Democratic voters
to be elected, yet he says upon the question
of the sub treasary plan, he will support
it caucus or no caucus. Can he do this ana remain
a Democrat.
Rev. P. B. Jackson was in the city last sabbath
and preached morning and evening in
the Methodist Church. As usual his sermons
were powerful and soul stirring.
Robt. Emmet Cox will move In Fort Pickens
and occupy the House of Mr. P. D.
Klugh.
Houses are In demand ana rents are rising.
Now Is the time for the owners of town lots to
build upon them. The want of houses will
keep a way many who are looking towards
Abbeville. We know of five or 6lx men now
hunting resiliences! they are not here and we
are waiting to see who will start the ball towards
providing for them.
The suggestion of the editor of the Press
and Banner lsagoodone. When the G. L. and
S. arrived at Laurens, a Banquet was given to
Superintendent Wad ley and his forces consisting
of Ihree hundred men. The same was
done at Woodruff, Spartanburg and Anderson
and these are the only towns on those lines of
road that have made progreses. The Banquet
at Anderson cost some fifteen hundred
dollars. It showed the progressive spirit animating
her people four years ago, and that
spirit is still alive and Anderson's growth Is
phenomlnal. Let Abbeville move.
Last Saturday the candidates left out took
their defeat in an admirable manner, Could
they lift the veil of the the future, I have no
doubt sdttie of them would have rejoiced in
not beltig allowed to enter that circle which
might be Justly inscribed above it "all who enter
Here must leave peace of mind and the
hope of a tranquil life behind."
Cotton is falling fast, the top crop upon
which hopes were built is gradually disappearing

the crop will not, If this weather continues
many more days, reach more than sixty per
cent, of the crop of 1889 in this county.
The Oil Mill Company are putting up an

THE WAREHOUSE SNARE.
What We Should Do Now, Since Ben*
et 1m Out or the Race.
Greenwood, S. C.. August 25,1890.
Editor Prena and Banner :
Do our farmers all over the county know if
the Sub-Treasury bill passes that there will be
but one warehouse to each county, and that
will be at the Court Houses? And if the farmers
of Lowndesville, Mount Carmel. McCor
micK, troy, urauiey, ureenwooa, iNineiy-six,
Hodges, Donalds, and other points on the railroad
get any advantage of the warehouse
they will have to haul their cotton to the
Court House to store it.
Now, Mr. Edllor, I am well aware that this
Is the least of all the many objections to the
bill, but I think every objection to it should
be well known before next Friday. Let the
farmers all over the counly build warehouses
of their own, where they will accommodate
the largest uumber. The farmers of NinetySix
and Greenwood are now building theirs.
I hope no one will think this is written with
any feeling against the Court House, for I
know the merchants at Abbeville would not
vote for the bill for the trade that would be In
It for them. They are too clear headed for
that. I did all I could for Benet as long as he
was in the field.
Now let us all see what majority we can
give Johnstone. It is not the man In the fight
now?It is the measure. Yours truly,
L. M. MOORE.

are very proud of our factory as it is the first

Greenwoou still Improves as It has in the last
year or so, it won't be long before she will
have two or three more.
We also came by the new depot for the G.,

As the quesllon of who Is the Democratic
Executive Committee is being agitated, we
copy a letter from a gentleman who is not
now a member:
Abbeville, S. C., Aug. 10,1890.
Col. James A. Hoyt, Greenville, S. C.:
Dear Sir?I have seen In the newspapers
that the State Democratic Executive Committee
of which you were chairman, has refused
to vacate in favor of the State Democratic Executive
Committee elected by the State Convention
which met in Columbia on the 13th
Instant. I feel that the old committee is
functus officio, and that the newly elected committee
ot which Col. J. L. M. Irby is chairman
is the only legally constituted State Democratic
Executive Committee now in existence.
I cannot therefore attend the meeting of the
old committee which you have called to meet
at Columbia on the 22nd instant.
Yours truly.
