SHALL OPPOSITION.
Of building electric roads in this vicinity
there is no end and the extensions are far
peaching?on the map. Whether any of
them will ever materialize is a question.
Attempt is being made to "finance" one in
New York which has been given a franchise
from the State and which is so favorably
looked upon by the city fathers that it
$>eems :o get anything it asks lor. This
* financing" business, how< ver, looks as if
there is nothing behind the project yet in
the way of money.?Columbia KecorcL
Sach little flings as these are not
only QBgeneroas to the projectors of
as enterprise containing so many
. bright prospects for the future
of Columbia as does the building
of the Lexington and Columbia
Electric railway, but they are
? a ?t . t
unworthy tne mind mac conceived
them, because the Evening Hecoid
attempts to treat ao important mattor
in a lightand flippant manner, and
in doiDg eo it shows and ignorance
of the situation that is almost inex-'
eusable.
Why not deal with the proposition
in m broad and liberal manner? The
condition confronts us with all its tremendoos
realities and great possibilities
for future development whether
we will it or not. It is a foregone conclusion
that the road, if now only
on paper, will be built on the earth
and that at no distant day. This is
a certainty beyond all peradventore.
The only question remaining
then for consideration is whether the
principle terminus shall be Columbia
or Augusta? Whether this part of
the State shall be bound in closer
bonds of commercial interests with
C, ilumbia. or whether the trade of
this well-to-do section shall be diverted
from its natnral channel and
tamed toward Augusta? We of this
part of the territory are anxious that
the greatest transportation facilities
possible should be provided us in order
to do business with the Columbia
merchants and we are satisfied
from our own personal knowledge, as
well as from information and belief,
that were the bnsiness interest of
the city canvassed it would be
fonnd to be practically unanimous
in favor of the project, and that instead
of countenancing any attempt
to place obstacles and obstructors
in the way of the completion of the
electric railway, the business men are
its warm supportess and stand ready
. J to lend a helping hand with words
'of encourangement as well as in a
more substantial manner?with tbeir
influence and their money.
Bat the Record objects to the project
by reason of its doubts as
the financial ability of the projectors
Jof the enterprise to carry
it to a successful completion. We
have never seen it stated anywhere
that they have made any such prepostroue
claims that they were financially
able to build such a gigantic
enterprise, calling for an investment
of $5,000,000, but ihey do claim
that they are endowed with a sufficient
amount of shrewdness to enable
them to know when they have a good j
? ^ nnn it o r> r} roirh I
lUllig W Lieu bliCJf OCC 11, auu "ivu j
enougb business sagacity to know j
that they have a guilt edge franchise |
that will attract capital to the assist- I
ance of the enterprise and an invest- J
meat that will surely briDg large
dividends on the money put in it,
and shorn > e pr jector- cut nee to
make money by the use of their
brains, time and money, there is no
reasonable ground for complaint od
this score so long as the enterprise
is completed in an honorable and legitimate
manner. These men have already
given an earnest of their faitb
in the enterprise by the expenditure
of time, labor and money and in tbe
purchase of valuable water power
sites capable of being devoloped to
generate el ectricity to meet all their
requirements, with some to spare to
tarn tbe wheels of other industries
Oar neighbor should encourage th?
promoters io their enterprise instead
of trying to throw cold water 01
their efforts to build the road.
Teddy says that lie wants the
nomination for the Presidency
only on condition that he shall
be nominated by Republican del|
egates from States that are Republican,
or there is a fair chance
of carrying it. If this be true then
Teddy need lose no sleep over
the nomination as without the
negro support of the South, which
is solidly Democratic with no possible
chance of being carried bv
C? \j
the Republicans, Teddy cannot
get the nomination.
The distillation of whisky is
practically prohibited in North
Carolina. A bill has just passed
the General Assembly of that
State prohibiting the manufacture
of alcoholic liquors in the coun
try districts. Two hundred and
fifty whisky distilleries, with
?170,000 capital invested and
?850,000 annual profits are affected
by this bill. The law will go
into effect on July . 1st. Then
will the thirsty rural citizen flee
unto the cities and towns to have
their thirst slackened.
Congress has unseated James
J. Butler, Democrat, of Missouri,
and seated George A. Wagoner,
Republican. This was an unblushing
and inexcusable fraud
against the constitutional rights
of the people of a sovereign State.
The Democrats made a big, but
ineffectual kick, and are retaliating
upon the Republicans by clogging
the business of Congress.
As a result there will probably be
an extra session of Congress.
England is said to be putting
forth strenuous efforts to grow cotton
in West Africa in competition
with American cotton. Old John
Bull may succeed, but it is very
doubtful if he can succeed in
raising anything better than okra.
Should he succeed, however, in
his experiment, he cannot possibly
beat Lexington county raised
cotton?which is the best the sun
ever opened.
It now looks as if the Spanish
war veterans will be as expensive
to Uncle Sam as are his pets of
the Civil war. A movement is
assuming shape to pay the veterans
of. the Spanish war for services
that they never rendered,
that is it is proposed to pay them
for services before actual enlistment.
W. M. Scott, the Georgia State
Etymologist, in a recent bulletin,
declares that the peach crop of
North Georgia is a complete
wreck and that there is hardly an
orchcrd north of Atlanta that will
turnout a crate of peaches this
season. This statement was made
after a close personal observation.
Joe Keenan, a negro youth,
who was tried and convicted of
the murder of Sam Williamson
in Greenville, and sentenced to be
hanged, went to glory last Friday
via the necktie route. This was
the first legal hanging that has
taken place in this State in some
veal's.
]i. J. Gatliug, the inventor of
the famous Gatling gun. died suddenly
in New York last Thursday.
What a grand review there
will he when the general roll is
called and the victims of this
fruitful instrument of death pa- j
rades before the assembled world.
Gen. W ilder S. Metc-alf. United i
States pension agent, unequivo- !
callv denies the statement that he |
shot Filipino prisoners, or ordered
others to do so. This should
settle the matter once for all.
C;urt Proceedings.
When we went to press last
week the trial was in progress in
the case of 0. B. Addy vs. Southern
Railway Co., of which we
made mention. The verdict was
rendered on Thursday morning
and was for $250 damages to Mr.
Addy.
Following came the case of J.
D. Mitchell against J. Clarence
Spann and Mrs. Pauline Spann,
an action for the recovery of certain
real estate and for damages.
Messrs. E. L. Asbill and Muller
& Sturkie appeared for the plaintiff
and Messrs. G. T. Graham and

Verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for the land, but gave no damages.
Next came three fire cases,
growing out of the March fire last
year, and were similar cases to
the 0. B. Addy case, all brought
by Messrs. Efird A Dreher, and
the following verdicts were given:
Mrs. Sibbv E. Rivers, ?125.00;
Wm. F. Taylor. ?105.00; D. L.
Taylor, ?60.00.
The final case last week was by
Howard Caldwell, a real estate
broker of Columbia, vs. J. Walter
Dreher, brought by Clark, Elliott
<fc Clark of Columbia and G. T.
Graham. Dreher was represented
by Efird & Dreher and Muller A
Sturkie. Dreher had given Caldwell
a "conditional'' option on
some property in Columbia, at
?3,000, and before the expiration
of the time therein, Dreher sold to
another party, under the condition.
Caldwell claimed that
Dreher had no right to sell and
i ?3 -c? ?1 r\r\f\ j
lieiice sueu iui yi,vv\j uuuia-gcs,
but the jury found in favor of
Dreher.
The third week of the term
opened promptly Monday morning.
The first case called was
S. Preston George vs. N. G. Long,
brought by Mr. G. T. Graham.
Long is represented by Efird &
Dreher. Mr. Efird moved to
quash the jury, because Samuel
B. George, the Clerk of Court, is
a nephew of the plaintiff, and one
of the Jury Commissioners, and
because Sheriff Caughman, who
served the jury, is also a nephew
of the plaintiff. After hearing
the arguments, Judge Klugn, allowed
the motion and continued
the case. Fixing this as a rule
there are a number of relatives of
the Clerk and Sheriff who are precluded
from the use of the court
for jury trials.
Coiu */ Treasurer Shealv, also
a Jury Commissioner, suffered the
same fate, in a fire- damage case
he has against the Southern Railway
Co. He failed to get a trial
last September because of the
heavy docket. Both these cases
I may go to Richland, or some
| other adjoining county for trial.
The first trial was of Thos. L.
Martin vs. Sealx>ard Air Line Ry.,
brought by Messrs. A. I). Martin
and G. T. Graham, for damages
for failure by the company to put |
in a side track at plaintiffs brick
yard, near Cavce. Messrs. W. II.
Lyles and Etird A Dreher appeared
for tl 10 defense. The j u ry ga ve
Martin ?1,200.
The trial ot thelinal case is now
in progress, and will probably end
1o day. The case is entitled
Donie M. Scott as Admr'x., of the
estate of James Daniel Scott, vs.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway.
Scott was employed by the Seaboard,
as night bridge watchman
on Congaree trestle, at Cayce, and
was killed eighteen months ago.
The suit is brought by Messrs.
W. Boyd Evans, E. M. Thomson
and L. I). Melton and $20,000.00
damages are asked. Messrs. W.
II. Lyles, Efird A Dreher and
Clarkson appeared for the defense.
A verdict for the plaintiff for i
$8,000 was rcddered, and immediately
after the reading oftheverdiet
the Court of Common Pleas
adjourned sine die.

'When a pestilence overtakes onr
people we take precaution as a nation to !
preserve the citizens against the dre;xl

"La grippe has entered thousands of
our homes this fall, and I noticed that
the people who used Peruna were quickly

in recovering, leaving them weak and

from 15 Western avenue, Minneapolis,

'Following a severe attack of la grippe
I seemed to be affected badly all over. I
suffered with a severe backache, indigestion
and numerous ills, so I could
neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I
would give up my work, which I could
not afford to do.
"One of my customers who was greatly
helped by Peruna advised me to try it,
and I procured a bottle the same day. I
used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement.
During the next two months
I took five bottles, and then felt splendid.

" After I was cured of bronchitis I had
