Mike Brown, of Barnwell, vice presi' demand treasurer ot the load, has ju?t con-1 j summaied a deal for the exteuslo.i. Tne OaioliiiH Midland is now in operation i from Aliendaie, on Hie Port Royal At Augustu Ball road, by way of Barnwell Court House, j to Seviern, in Allien county, crossing the j South Carolina & (Jeorgia at Blackville. The j ! ro?d traverses a country of native forests, j rich In pine and other timbers, and through j i Inexhaustible beds of kuoilu. Tne proponed extension to Greenwood Is by > way of Batesburg, Denny's, Bed Bunk, and j Uood Hope, througn oue ol tne most fertile J farming sections In Carolina?a country great-1 iv oi nwd of that development which alwuys j j come* with railroads itucf ilielr attendant en- i I turprlses. Tbe people along Hie line ol the j i proposed road are thruty, industrious, and well-to-do farmers und business men. The greatest hindrance to the development | of this territory Is the lack ol an outlet, and j consequently the lack ot a market lor their | productions. Greenwood citizens have shown .1 willingness to do their part to Hecure the road, and the wide-awake tneu along the road, alive to their own Interests and thatol their section, will lend a helping hand. A long pull, a strong pail, and a pull altogether is all that is necessary to success. By way Of arriving at some definite plan of action meetings will be called at the principal points along the Hue defined, to secure rights of way, subscribe stock to the road to be paid iu cash, grading the roadbed, crossties, or trestle Umber. Subscriptions are to be secured a? soon as possibit?not to be paid, however, until ihe construction of the road Is begun and Its completion a certaiuity. This road will be a llDe tn the direct connection with the West now talked ot?a liue which promises in the near future, to be one of tue most tmportiiot in the country. The const ruction 01 a road irom Knoxvllle to the Atlantic coast is now under consideration by Col. Booue, of Kuoxvlne, and others, backed by ample capital. Such a road will give an "air Hue" connection with the JeHco coal sields, and be of uolold benetlt to us la the re-! auction of ireighi rates. The people of Greeuwood have pledged themselves to take S{,(K)0 ol the stock, which is sufficient to grade the road teu miles from the Edgefield-Abbeville county line to Greenwood. It Is expected that ere long the Carolina Midland will beeutering Augusta. Worn In that direction Is now In progress, and Col. Brown is a man who knows no such work as tail.

Times are not so hard after all, plenty of hog and hominy and some cash in Ibe land yet. W. D. Edwards has rented out his farm near town aud moved to T. A. Cobb's plantation in the Briarwood section. N. O. Pylas? the affable? dropped In on us Saturday. Our city councllmen say they are going to clip the tigers tall close behind his ears?Dispensary or not. Mr. \V. H.

These popular young people nave hosts of friends who wish lor them a long aud pleas mt Journey together. The "only man with brains enough to esWOll-<h the Reiorm movement." "The Cromwell of Soutu Carolina, ex governor?Senatorelect, Benjamin Ryan Tillman was iu town Wednesday, the guest of Mr. W. H. May's. M?-ss. Livy Watson and Steiftle, of Bradley, were in town Thursday. Mr. Tracy representing the Encyclopedia Brlttauica was In the city last week. He took several orders from our literati. The peace and unity "forty" have shrunk terribly?perhaps under pressure of the hidlieu hand. Kveu the remaining lew oiler aothing definite but procrastination, untiring, were caught iu this trap once, lei us be jd the alert now lest we spring it again, or we 'nay never again gel our freedom. We can >vlu in a canter if we will, and will if we nust. To tins end let every one?without regard to past political affiliations? who Is opposed to ring methods, register and force the riugsters to term*'?equitable or a straight dght, ex-Governor Tillman says "men who nave ballots don't need bullets." A grand and glorious country this we live in, eat,drink and sleep in. The pauper in the tlmshouse, can speak and write with as much vigor as the lullliouare in tns palace with aoue to moiest or make hitn airaid, but it tacks the essential element of heft. ' * '* . ? -J_ -i.i_ . i i-i ?. i ~ II me otliuua niue tuuuiu en iu? quuiu in delegutes 10 the convention, we predict that ibey would vote lor a reduction of county >rea, and Greenwood would back (hem lu It, knowing at the same time that without It, we are sure of a Court House, while by a reduction, some strong competitors can euterthe field. In either ca-e our Abbeville and Edge-1 tleld friends will he In u dllemnu. Greenwood will he conslsr&nt, and generous, not selfish. Il ls no argument against a man's fitness as i delegate to the convention to say ibat be Is * Reformer. There are a number ot them In ibis county from among whom six could be choseu to whom none could object, save the Reform rlncsterx, these would not submit, hence a straight light ugalnst this wily machine seems lnunenl. The "brother in black" seems to be arousing from bis Hip Van Winkle nap and will probatvy play an important Dart in the coming contest by choosing lor nlmself from among the wbite contestants those most likely to cepresent bis interests. A constitutional convention should not be a j nnpiluun nrtllMcjil bodv. ttierefoie let everv I man, especially the poor and illiterate, duly register himself that he may have a voiee in choosing men to represent his interests. A report reaches us that, General M. W. Gary's connections and beneficiaries, all of whom have a good fat office are preparing to erect an elaborate shall over the long neglected grave of this grand old hero, soldier hero and patriot. The report goes that the work is to be executed in Italy by the fluent sculptors. This is commendable but "Old Tabernacle" is an out of the way place for such a display of art. Abbeville or Greenwood would be proud or the honor or being the resting place of this illustrious Carolinian. The subject of Rev A. B. Watson's discourse from the Methodist pulpit Sunday morning was. "The Christian lu ills Relation to the Stata." The whiskey traffic generally, and dispensary in particular, coming In for u full share of his righteous condemnation. Capt J. T. Parks, of Abbeville, worshipped In the village Sunday, we are always glad to see him. We know that Dr. Pope is erratic, and whatever else may be said of his Idiosyncrasy, the Net remains lhat he is the father of the Reform Movement. There are a number of claimants to ibis honorable paternity, .but when Dr. Pope?as a member of the house? orgaui/.ed his ecouomic caucus lor retrenchment and reform, the germ was planied and gestation begun, this was before Tillman hail been neard ol, the liary connect Ions were school boys, Larry Gantt was lu Georgia, Let) Hill,a Republlcan,iu California and John Irby was in Texas a fugitive from Justice. We all remember how the papers ridiculed Pope and In derision,- dabbed his comereuce, a tbreefora-quarter caucus. Tbe railroad boom hus again struck our town, an euthusiastic meeting was belu last week and a sufficient amount of the onething needful, subscribed to Insure attention. And we are not trying to divert a neighbor's rood, either. Greenwood don't do business thai way. General Hemphill says the "village of Greenwood." He should not Judge the size of the town by the number of votes he receiveu here. Beginning next Monday evening at 4 o'clock, our Methodist brethren will observe the "do-wlthout-week" services will be held d'<lly Id their cbuich. The only apology we can ofter for the matter of tbls letter Is, we bave done our level beat, "angels could do no more" those who don't ilb;o It can punish us by not reading It. I U It should become necessary to sow me I ! oat crop over, the seed will have to be Import- j i ed. We do not know of a siugle case of sickness j j la this community. ! Mess.
