voters of ill is county to determine
whether this road shall ho built or
not.
When we say the vote of this county
will determine the question whether
this road shall be built or not, *ve
mean precisely what we nay; for as
this county is the first to vote upon
the question of granting aid by subscribing
t??r preferred slock, and as the
terminal point of the road will be in
this county, an advantage in a commercial
business point of view that
cannot be too highly appre< iated, so
the vote of this county will, it may
safely be said, determine the vote of
the other counties through which this
road will run, and upon the aid of
which the question of building the
l oad depends.
Looking upon it in its true light,
and taking the heft of its bearings in
all of its points, it becomes a question
of grave responsibility; one that there
is no shifting from our shoulders,
neither dare we treat it lightly.
Are we to deal with this question
for ourselves, or for others? Ifoth;
and in this important fact lies the responsibility.
It therefore becomes
the duty of every legal voter, and
every land-owner, especially ihe head
of every family in the county, t<> thoroughly
examine into, and to clearly
make up his mind as to the present
and future results upon the county
dependant on his voting aid, or refusing
aid in the const ruction o! this road
before he easts his vote. It is his
duty to look at it. in its operative
efleet against the present and future
interest of the county, as well as its
advantageous clled. upon the county.
The first, matter lor consideration is
the fact that unless the counties
through which the road runs vote to
subsetibe an average of $*2,500 per
mile, and issue bonds in exchange for
preferred i>toek, the road will not bo
built.
i i _ i. 1 i -. ;/ .?. _
j ??e uavu ween iiskcmi wny, n ine
i company ami capitalists are willing to
| ri>k ? I 1,000 per mile are limy not willing
to i is'v the additional $*2,/>U0 now
asked of the counties? For the very
host of reasons, no man will permanently
invest capital where it is not
protected, no mailer how alluring the
scheme may he.
With every citizen in the counties
through which this road will run interested
in the capital stock, it becomes
a powerful corporation, and there is
some hope of protecting such capital
from the devastation now made on
individual property throughout the
State.
Suppose the road is never built, have
; we not always got along without it?
j So we have, hut even the advantage|
ous position we now occupy canj
not be maintained unless we keep
J pace with the progress of the age. We
cannot remain stationary; man's
wuisf iii 111?j Is* miner upward or downward,
iimi so with a people in every
relation of lite, business and wealth
must increase ot diminish.
Is it not patent to the eyes of every
citizen of the county that turpentine
and timber, hitherto the main proi
ducts of the county for exchange lor
J the obtaining of money and other
necessaries of lite, and which has given
employment to so many laborers,
whereby they are enabled to earn
their daily bread, is now being rapidly
exhausted, anil in a few years must be
abandoned quite altogether. In tact
the crop of turpentine this year will
fall considerably short ot that of the
past. This is but the fore-runner ot
what must come.
This shows that it is time we should
turn our attention to any other source
that promises to better our condition,
and to enable its to keep pace with
the progress of other sections ol the
country.
The objection that has the strongest
hold on the people's minds against
votinor aid to the road, is the ai?prc
ra w iB
hension of being taxed to pay tno interest
on tiio maturing bonds, and
eventually that they will have to bo
paid off in full by uaonoy derived from
taxation.
Prudence dictates that wo should,
at all times, be cautious how we incur
liabilities requiring an increased tax
^^^J^FUNE 13,

ition, but the rink of tho county having
to pay these bond*, (b'pemis on a
jontiugencv, and v?e ire lead to believe
that there are many of the people
who do not fully understand that
uonthigency, or the nature ol the aid
asked lor.
The law provides that the county
nuhacri, tion shall not exceed 5 per
cent, on the assessed value of the property
in the county. The bonds are to
bear C per cent, interest and to be
made payable in thirty years. These
bond* will i?e issued and delivered lo
the company so sooti an the company
actually commences the construction
ot the road in the county and the company
gives bond to the county to pay
the interest thai the bonds draw until
the road is completed.
Upon the completion of the road
the company is to turn over to the
county an equal amount of preferred
stock in exchange for the county bonds,
which preferred stock will bear 7 pet
cent, interest. Thus it will be seen
that nut one cent of interest is to commence
accumulating against the county
until after the road is completed.
On the receiptof the preferred stock
the annual interest against the county
on her $05,000 of bonds at G per cent,
will be 80,000, and the annual interest
due by the road to the courtly on
805,000 of preferred slock at 7 per
cent, will be 84,550, which will pay
the 8:1,000 due by the county and
leave a surplus of 8050, which is to be
so invested as to draw interest semi
annually, ho thai whi n the bonus beI'onu'
due l!ic accruing interest on the
prefeired stock will pay them up in
lull, and tin1 connlv will thereafter receive
a clear annual income of $4,500
in inrerest from her preferred stock,
instead of raising this amount by taxation.
This will be the result provided
the earnings of the road enables the
company to promptly meet the interest
j on the prepared stock, and herein lies
the exception to the result. This contingency
has been fully explained in an
at ticle by Hon. T. C. Dunn, and for the
iniormauon of the legal voters, we
shall republislt that article in the next
issue ot the X i;ws.
A very selfish objection made to the
road by some persons is, in truth, no
more nor less than a tear of the beneficial
results of the road in which they
may not he able to participate. This
objection comes from per oris in this
town ami the lower section of the
I county. They admit that the road
(will increase the value of properly
I <llllf?? Ml* nwtrit lli'in <t. .11 1 .1.. ile ir.u'Di.l
i ? >?? J..V-V..U
value in that section of ilie county
j through which ii runs, but assert that
it will cut off trade ami business in
I Con way born, and decrease the value
ol real estate in the lower portion of
the county
The bu'k of turpentine brought to
this market comes Iroin a distance of
eight to sixteen miles, and mostly
from the direction of Bay I biro, Cool
Spring and Bog Mult*. .Turpentine in
the lower section of the county is quite
exhausted, and the ueople tnoie interested
in 'arming than turpentine. A
railroad never yet decreased the value
of farming hinds, no matter how far or
neurit runs to them; besides they
will have the same God-given means
I ot getting off their produce they now
j have.
We can readily see that, it will, in a
Igriat. measure, affect and change the
business of the merchant and turpentine
speculator in this section of the
. .
j county, who nave a single eye to tneir
i own immediate interest. Instead of
! tbe laborer being forced to eke out bis
j daily bread by the single business of
j making turpentine at uncertain prices,
! be would find opened up a variety of
occupations at stated prices for wbieb
be would be paid cash; and lurpen*
tine must either pay better, or be
!abandoned.
The only objection of all tbat we
bave heard tbat in our opinion has any
weight, is the bar and baibor at Little
| Kiver lias not the depth of water and
capacity required lbr an outlet and
commercial point of a railroad of business
importance sufficient to make it a
paying investment.
In answer to Lbis it is vurv clear
that if the bonds aro voted, capitalists
will not invest over one million of
dollars in a railroad until they first
satisfy themselves that the terminal
point has all the advantages necessary
to make itapajing investment. Should
they, after a thorough investigation,
become satisfied that the bar and harbor
is insufficient for the purpose, tko
work will not commence, nor will tho
bonds, though voted, be issued.
Of our own personal knowledge, we
know nothing of the advantages or
1874.
disadvantages of Little River bar or I
harbor; but we have just received a '
letter from Capt. Thos. W. Gore, of [
Little River, a gentleman well known ,
to the majority of the people of this
county as a man whose veracity and 1
integrity of character is above suspicion.
We conclude this article with (
that ponton of Mr. Gore's letter re- i
I hi "out t his liar nml hsirbor Question. 1
unci think it ought to Ratify the minds |
of all who are acquainted with him.
Mr. Gore says:
"I understand that Home parties in
flurry county "ay our bar and harbor
;s of no value as a shipping point. I
have been raise J here, and have been
goic g to sea oft and on tor the past
thirty years, and have seen large
schooners and brigs in this harbor all
mv lifetime, and they frequently drawing
nine ?o eleven feet, and carrying
1-/200 to l,r>00 bids.
TIkmc is no trouble about the bar.
Steamers can be bad drawing nine
feet that will carry 2,000 bbls. The
only trouble with sailing vessels is
the chattel is narrow, which prevents
their beating out, and they have to
wait fur fair winds. But this could
be obviated b\ having u tug toe in and
out. Respectfully, <&e.,
Titos. \V. Gotta."
A Comprehensive Suggestion for ilrungcs.

showing that capital invested it; cottun

Such a policy will certainly largely
redound to the wealth of the cotton

TWO ELECTIONS THIS TALL!

J'J'litor News (ind (Janvier:
In the course of my examination of
the Revised Statutes of the Stale, I j
have been struck with an incongruity I
in our election riw winch 1 tear, will
entail, tor this year at least, serious
trouble ami expense to the people.
By Section 11, Article 11, of the
Constitution, the lirst election lor
senators and reprcs*utiitivcs is directed
to be held on the Mlh, 15th and
11 j days, ol April, of that year, (18<?8,)
and the second election on the third
Wednesday in October, 1870, "and
forever thereafter on the same
day in every second year."
By the amendment to this article
and section, approved January 20,
1873, the words are altered to read as j
follows: "And foiever ihcrealtei on
tin; first. Tuesday following the first
Monday in November in every second
year."
Chapter VI11, section 1 of lie vised
Statutes, provides "That the general
elections in this State shall he held,
pursuant to the constitution thereof,

This was also amended by an act
passed at the last session of tin* Legislature,
approved March 10, 1874, to
the following effects: "The next
general election in this State shall he
held, pursuant to the provision* ol
amendment of Article II, section 11 ol
the Constitution ol the State ol South
Carolina, on the first Tuesdav follow
ing tlio first Monti ay in November,
1874, and forever thereafter 011 t he
first Tuesday fallowing the first Monday
in Novimb r in every second
year."
On turning tc page 38 of Revised
Statutes, Chapter X, section 1, under
the caption of "The Election ol County
Ollicers," we find as follows;
4,1There shall he a general election for
the election of the following county
officers, to wit: Judge of probate,
county commissioners, and school
commissioners held in each county,
r.n the third Wednesday, ol October,
A. 1). 1870, and on the same day in
every second y?ar thereafter, and lor

March, 1674, sention 2, enacts "that

The Grand Juries are at work in
earnest. Ot course the criminals may
escape at last, or he pardoned by the
compassionate Kxeeulive; but it is
cheering, nevertheless, to find that,
in the course of a month or six weeks,
more than thirty corrupt County officials
have been presented or indicted,
and that seven have been convicted.
Since our last report the following
presentments have reached us:
11. Last week the grand Jury of
Clarendon Coun\jf^presentcd foMr
County Commissioners for corruption,
fraud and malfeasance in office. They

Carpanter, in his charge
to the Grand Jury of Edgefield Coin ty
on Monday morning last, speaking of
the new license law, and instructing
the jury as regards their consideration
of applications for license, said that
nowa days, as a general thing, no real
liquor \v;is soni--nere nor any wRoro
else in this country. There wa? no
brandy, no whiskey, no gin. Everything
of the sort was a concoction ot
j |??<i: on? ? water, prussic acid, strych!
nine, *fco., and that men were very
olten not drunk, but drugged or
poisoned. lie, therefore, urged upon
the jury the importance ot being cartful
and conscientious in the matter,
i. <?., granting licenses only to persons
who they lelt sure would not carry
! the drug ami poison business too tar.
Not a Day Too Soon.
The ruling party in South Carolina
has made a wiser application ot our
warnings than some purblind folks
near home. The Columbia UnionIlerald
refers to one of our recent articles
in a complaining tone, but adds:
"The Republicans of tins State
' must see to it that in the coming
election every county shall elect none
but honest and competent men, without
stain or reproach of their private
or public reputation, or we shall be
driven out of tho h^use of our friends^
as a leprosy and a curse. This is the
work we have to do, and 'twere well
it were done quickly."

Una has begun to open its eyes, and
not a day loo soon. The Republican
party will not defend or help to mamtain
a ay stein of organized robbery
and oppression. The sooner 4<our
colored friends" in South Qarolina get
that truth into their heads tho better
it will be for them.
