Tbe Columbia Record of April 23, says: Representative Lever is in receipt of letters from M. B Edwards, mayor of Batesburg; S. S Lioder, intendant of the town of Gilbert; J. J. Taylor, mayor of Lexington, and R E. AUeD, mayor of Augusta, commending bim for the interest be has recently been taking in the matter o? having a mail agent placed on tbe train leaving Columbia for Augusta in tbe afternoon. All of tbese letters are to the effect that tbe growth of tbe section between Columbia, and Augusta in re cent years has been very rapid and that presed conditions amply justify tho placing of a mail clerk on the train mentioned. BSE* ci The above mail service which will add to the -business interest along this read. With the regular passenger train which goes into effect next Sunday morning instead of a mixed train, will be a great convenience to our people.

This awful calamity will ever be remembered by I her stricken people, destroying their business, homes, etc., almost wiping out one of the most beautiful business cities of the far West, and leaving everything in ruins and her population in actual need of something to eat and drink, to say nothing of the great financial loss, precious lives that have passed away and they standing helpless to witness heartrending scenes and terrible destruction before their eyes, everybody terror stricken and frenzied. But the people of the once proud "Golden Gate city" are clearing away debris and preparing to rebuild.Speaking of the recent gambling case at Saluda the Anderson Mail says: Judge George E Prince has a miohfcv coor oninion of a white man D ^ r r who will gamble with a negro. Judge Prince's sentiments will be endorsed by every self-respecting white man and by every self-respecting negro. Negroes do not respect a white man who puts himself cn their level, and it is always the low white men who cause the conflicts between the races. Tee, let us have the boxes at the primary polls where the question at least can be settled in the Democratic party, whether we have "no liquor" or dispensary. We are satisfied we can get the sentiment of our people this way. We have had a number of our people pro and con to express themselves as approving of the plan. It carries no expense and leaves this all important moral question with the people directly. Gen. Thomas W.

To the Editor of tbe Die patch: The green tree?, tbe beautiful flowers and the sweet songs of birds remind us that we will soon be in the midst of pleasant spring?the happiest season of the year. A soul in which these things cannot awaken new life and bestir new energies must be dead iodeed. Cotton planting is progressing nicely, and if the fertilizer output is any indication, efforts are being made for a heavy cotton crop. The recent rise in the price of cotton stimulated sales considerably, but there is more behind which is being held for twelve cents. We hope different but we fear a twelve cents price is not very close at hand. Town Marshals Boozer and Sheaiy get a move on them Sunday and Monday and bagged only four.

Mr. Edwin King, residing near Macedon, this couDty, died Saturday after several weeks illness in the 74th year of his age. He leaves a wife, relatives and friendt3 to mourn his loss. Mr. King was a good man and kind neighbor. He never interferred with other people's bueiness, but attended in a quiet way to that cf his own. He was a member of Com, pany K. 20th Regt; a faithful soldier ever ready to perform his duties whenever called, but he has marched to the last tap of the drum here and gone to join those of his old comrades who had preceded him to a better land where there are no pestilence and wars, but peace and b?pi piness. His remains were interred at the Ulark burying ground on Sunday. Invitation.
