It is not until they have assembled,

does not meet until the usnal
1 time in December, in the light of maprecedents
little or nothing can
be expected of it until the beginning
of next year, for it is well known
'hat no Congrees has attempted to
do any real work until after the
holiday recess.
An extra session is always unpopular
and the President is anxious
of course, to avoid it, but iu order
that some of the important legislation
to come up during the next year
may be matured in time, it is
thought to be the only 'alterative. *
Those whose counsel is frequently
sought at the White House now s^y '
that the contemplated extra session
would begin about the first of October
and run along iuto the regular
session, and that the questions of
revenue and taxation would receive
attention first.
Another reason why it i9 deemed
expedient to make the Fiftieth Congress
take advantage of extra time is
I the fact that the next year will be
devoted largely to President making.

will be surfieted with politics, and

either end of the Capitol will have
more or less reference to candidales
and politics and the issnes of the
ministration^ the
ting record, and the opponents of
the Atfsmeistraticn on the other,
eager to disparage it in the confidenc
of the people?between combinations
here and combinations- there in the
interest of rival aspirants?the Capitol
will partake far more of the
character,of an arena of partisan
controversy than of serious and disinterested
labor for the welfare of
the country. Considering all this,
the friends of tho Administration
feel that the President * would be
entirely justified in promoting the
chances of legislation which the
bublic interests demand by the call
of an extra session.
President Cleveland's care and industry
in reading all bills, great and
small, and examining them personally
before signing his name to them,
has been criticised as an unnecessary
assumption of labor on the part of
the Chief Executive. It is quite
certaiu Mr. Cleveland has taken
more pains in thic respect than any
of his predecessors, and it cannot be
said that any of his assistants ever
wrote his signature to enacted laws,
this responsibility he never delegated
to a member of his Cabinet even in
the case of unimportant bills.

Bg^Brangeburg and Lewiedde
BHKilroad and its Eelations to
WM Charleston?A Visit-from
a Committee of the Eif
rectors.
Tuero is no doubt that there is
about to be a railroad boom iD
Charleston. On the Bay, on the
wharves, on Broad street and on the
other marts of trade everybody is
talking railroad, because even body
realizes that of Charleston
uepeods in a gnj I^Aeastiie upon her
railroad oonue&frefis. There is not
much of a flourish of trumpets to
speak of, but every day or so some
oue or some committee arrives here,
goes arotfnd among toe merchants
and capitalists, talks railroad and departs
the next day* with a solid and
substantial evidence of Charleston's
interest in their enterprise in the
shape of a liberal subscription to the
capittft stock. The Ne.ics and Courier
has published the outlook aod prospeels
of two very important railroad
enterprises?the Bl^okville aod Prosperity,
and the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens Railroads. Representatives
of both these lines were in tLucity,
and both reported that they
were thoroughly satisfied with the
practical sympathy they had received
from Charleston merchants and capi
talists. " *
The Orangeburg and Lewiedale
Railroad was chartered by the Legislature
at the session of 1885. An
amendment was secured to its charter
in 188G. Under the charter the
company was authorized to organize
wheD $25,000 cf the capital stock had
been paid in. At Ibis date $40,000
of stock has been taken by private
subscriptions in Orangeburg and
LssiDgton counties, and $00,000 will
be subscribed by townships along the
line *>f the road.
The proposed route of the road
and its connections will be seen by
the map published below :

It will be seen that the buildiug o
the road will give an air line fronc
Charleston to Greenville, and b<
about fifty miles shorter than an]
other line.
"The advantage of this," say
President Barkloy, "can hardly b
understood except by a careful stud;
of the Inter-State Commerce Act re
cently passed by Congress. Unde
the provisions of that Act all freigh
as well as passenger rafes, are to b
charged for by the distance. Th
completion of the Orangeburg an
Lewiedale Road to Newberry wi
shorten the distance to Charlesto
fifty miles at least, and will briDg t

be a great saving to Charleston pei
pie who go to the springs and tl
mountains in the summer. The sa

pressed by the difference in the di
tance travelled. It will be equal
fifty miles at cents a mile cne way
The new road has been snrvpyi
from Orangeburg to Lewiedale
T.ovinnrfnn nnnnfv. a distance of fj
iy-seven and a half miles. The su
vey has been finished and the road
projected is an air line. From Le
iedale the road will run in a etraig
line to Newberry, where it will co
nect with the Newberry and Laure
! Railroad, which runs in a straig
j line to Greenville. At Newberry

Free Bridges. ^
Columbia, March 7,1887.
I hope every man in Lexington
county will give this subject due consideration,
as we ought to have two
free bridges to Columbia. And I
think it will be the best investment
that LexiDgton and Columbia ever
made to build them. It will save
)>
them more money in ten years tba'D
it will cost to baild theory and it is
money laid up for your children. If
i you do not do something, your little
| boy in the cradle will have to pay
the same toll that you are paying now
twenty years hence.
Business first. Let onr Representatives
get us the charters t next let
the City Council of Columbia say
what the city will give; then let'fca
petition be carried around to every
Merchant in Columbia, and let each
j^ne^y what he will give. A.s for
B^^Htwill give one hundred dol-*
to each bridge.^Last y,ear <
six; dollars for^ crossing the
^Bfge. In twenty years iC will be
one hundred and twenty dollk^i So''
I hope to live twenty
, ^id^o others
" of TJrangeburg county, I believe,
give three or four thousand dollars,
v One gentleman from there said he
m was satisfied that the amount 1 have
kuentioned would be raised, or more.
dou't wish to pitch into the
RRRige companies, but we want them
?'to understand that we don't intend
to pay them two prices for old
bridges ; so if they will not take a
reasonable price for ihem, let us
build new ones and we will run in opposition
; it is the life of trade.
| Now, to raise the balance of the
i money, let it be shown clearly to the
f people of Lexington county what it
i will cost them on their taxes to raise
5 it, and then take a vote, "Free
j Bridge" or "No Free Bridge," and
I am satisfied that three to one will
s go for the free bridges. If anyone
e responds to this article, opposing itj
y please sign your name in full anc
oblige. Yours truly,
