The iHeral d.. THOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24, 1875. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Sewspaper, devoted to the material in terests o. the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Legislature Is now in session, and much interest will be manifested as to what is to come of it. The commou opinion is that it will be an important session, and that many of the reforms promised so readily and frequently will be car ried out. This is the hope, and we trust that it may not be disappointed. We confess that our faith in the pro mises made is not very strong, still we hope. The position taken by the Governor is encouraging, and the con fidence reposed in him leads to the belief that he will not forfeit his plighted word, to.do all in his* power to retrieve some of the evils under which the State labors. We hope that he is sincere. Blue Ridge Railroad. At the meeting in Walha'la, on the 2d instant, in the interests of the Blue Ridge Railroad, resolutions were adopted which embody a plan of ac tion to promote its construction. Ap plication is to be made to the Lsegisla ttires of the several States for per mission to make subscriptions. A mass meeting was agreed to be held in Knoxville, Tennessee, on the 10th of January. An executive committee was appointed, and also a committee to presert the claims of this road to Congress. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and letters were read from Governor Chamberlain, ex-Gov. Perry, Hon. J. L. Robinson, Speaker of the House of Representatives of North Carolina, and Judge Reed. From Mr. Robinscn's letter we take what we regard as a practical sugges tion of value. He writes: The State of North Carolina has near 600 able-bodied convicts that can be employed on the public works. She will in a short time have near 500 of them at work in Western North Carolina. With the labor of 100 con victs furnished by each of the States of South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, the grading of this road in these States respective ly might be done in twelve months, (excepting the heaviest tunneling.) Could not Anderson, Oconee, Rabun and Macon, with some assistance from the counties adjacent, feed, guard and provide for this labor for time neces sary in prosecuting this work ? It is apparent, gentlemen, while State credit is prostrate, that we must rely mainly upon local and private effort. If we do not show a disposition to act and help ourselves we need not expect anything from abroad. Mr. John R. Cochran, Senator from Anderson County, offered resolutions looking to the use of convict labor, which were adopted: Resolved, That in the judgment of this meeting the convict labor of this State should be utilized for the public benefit; and should be used in aiding the completion of this road, in which the people have so large an interest. Resolved, That the Legislature of this State be memorialized at the coming session, to allow the labor of the convicts to be so applied, and that the Governor be requested to recomn mend such application, if in his judg ment it is wise and proper. This is an important interest, and the action taken at the above meeting is significant and to the point, and shows that the necessities which de mand the accomplishment of so great benefit to the State are being appre ciated. It is hoped that no effort will be spared, now that the ball is set in motion, and that all the help possi ble will be given. We believe that the people of this section realize the importance of a connection of this kind with the great West, and that they will not prove laggards. Editorial Review. The Netcs & Courier correspondent says that Mr. Jas. A. Hoyt has sold his interest in the Anderson .lutelli gencer, to Mr. Preston Butler, and that it is his intention to remove to Charleston. This needs confirmation. A bbevillc is to be blessed with the music of a Silver Cornet Band, the musicians now being engaged in prac ticing. If they do not hold together better than the Newberry Cornets, their labor will be in vain. The Spartanburg ilerald of the 17th says : Since last Thursday night the town of Due West has been pick eted by a large force of her citizens to thwart the designs of a set of scoun drels who have' threatened to burn up the place. This threat was made known in an anonymous letter to one of the prominent citizens of the place under postmark of Abbeville. Seve ral theories are entertained. Col. Henry I. Caughnman, of Lex ington, died on Saturday, the 13th, at the advanced age of 75 years. He wds a native of that County, and practiced as a lawyer many years. He served in the Mexican war. under un der Capt. DeSaussure, of Richland, prior to which he was honored with a seat in the State Senate, and subse quently served as a member of the House. He was a brave and gallant citizen. "Three hundred barrels of whiskey" are advertised in a city paper, "war ranted to give satisfaction," and we have no doubt but that it will to those who drink it. But the question is will the satisfaction be general, will the wives, daughters and friends be satis fied. Warranted to give satisfaction -in a horn, and only to those who take a horn. No one doubts the puri ty of the whiskey or its value, but it cannot give general satisfaction. Some body will come to grief. A terrible accident occurred on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail Road, on the night of the 18th. The night passenger and a train of empty cars were proceeding in the same direction at the rate of twenty miles an hour, the passenger train in the lead. When -near the Pine House the passenger train stopped at a sideling, when the other bulged on and the engine telescoped the ladies car, killing one, a bright and beauti ful child, six years old, a son of Wm. Nightingale, of Georgia, and inflicting severe wounds on many others. It was a miracle that no other lives were lost. The letter of Senator J. R. Coch ran to the General Assembly, which will be found in this paper, meets with pretty general approval. It is an important letter, and the measures proposed by him cannot fail to impress the minds of those to whom it is par ticularly addressed. The suggestions come in good time too, perhaps better now than at any period in the late past, and judging from the reception the letter has received, it is augured that it will be productive of good. The demand for a better government is growing stronger. The party in pow er acknowledge it and see that with out change for the better their waning power will be gone forever. If the Senator can work his spirit into his party he will do good. Several of our exchanges say that the reason why the State Fair did not succeed better is that the management was afraid to use printers' ink. We are slightly inclined to -the same opin ion. Another assigns as a reason, the absence of horse racing. Others that money was scarce, and that the various County Fairs had exhausted the means and dulled the interest, and that rail roads did not do the right thing by reducing fares. Only one advertised a reduction. The Register says that saw dust shows are afforded more fa cilities than agriculturists and - me chanics, and it is even so. The mem bers of the Legislature for four years have enjoyed free passes, the roads being put at their disposal. And then the business men of Columbia did not put forth proper efforts to make the Fair attractive or to attract visitors. All these things combined with the absence of printers' ink, made it a failure. Official List of Patents Issued by the United States Patent Office, for the week ending Saturday, Nov. 13th, 1875.

Address as above to Savannah, Ga. Missionary Letter. CAIRO, EGYPT, Sept. 20, '75. DEAR FEIEND:-No doubt you think I have forgotten my promise to write occa sionally to'your Society. But I have not. My opportunity for seeing the natives and the progress and character of the Mission Work among them, as you know, has been quite limited this summer, owing to our resi dence among the English in Ramie. Conse quently I preferred to wait until I saw some thing of Egypt proper. I am now in its Metropolis, and my eyes look on many strange sights every day. Perhaps I could not do better than to give my good sisters of your Society an account of our work and employments for to-day. One day is very much like another, so when I have taken you through one twenty-four hours, you will be able to form a tolerably correct idea of our life here. Some of you know that I have not been assigned to a particular Station as yet, owing to the fact that several of the Missionaries are temporarily out of the field. When those in Syria are able to get through the Quarantine the new Missionaries will be dis posed of at least for the winter. The interim I am to spend in this city with the two ladies who have charge of the Girls' Boarding School. Their house is in the third story of a large building, and Dr. Lansing's, with whom we take our meals, in the second. We are ready for work in the morning by about half-past six. By that time the girls' break fast is ready and at the ringing of the bell they take their places round the table, stand ing. Miss Johnston asks the blessing, and then we leave them in charge of the woman who does the housekeeping, to go to our own breakfast. We go up twenty-five steps to the roof or terrace, and there we have spread out around us one of the finest pano ramas I have ever seen. Besides this great Mohammedan City with its mosques and minarets, there are the Palm groves and mountains on ofie side, and the beautiful open country with its green fields and Acacia trees on the other. We stop to look over and admire it every morning, but after a little we get across the terrace and go down fifty steps to Dr. Lansing's. Immediately on coming up I have my Arabic lesson, and then go to the school room to morning prayers. These over, Miss Thompson goes out to a distant part of the city to look after Miss Smith's day school, where she spends about two hours. Daring that time a teacher of Arabic pen manship has come in and given the girls a lesson, and Miss Johnston and I sit and write with them. This exercise over, Miss J. gives the whole school "the Bible lesson," which is a chapter, and a running commentary and questions on it. Then come ordinary school recitations in Reading, Writing, Geography and English. I assist as I am able, with two or three little classes in Arabic and some in English, sitting always in the same room with Miss Johnston, so that she can give me the words I want in tiying to talk to the gtrls. At half-past ten, Miss Thompson is back and ready to take charge of the school, so that Miss Johnston can go to her day school. This morning I went with her. As we west down the street we met, of course, all sorts of characters. It is one of the favorite drives, and has wide, nicely-paved "sidewalks," in which Acacia trees are plant ed at regular intervals. The flags in the pavement do not come up to the trees quite, a sufficient opening being left to admit the sunlight to the roots, and also to form a little basin for the water, which is turned on every morning. It had just been turned on when we went out, and all along the street the people were drinking out of these miserable holes. It is true there are no pigs here to revel in such places, but there is everything else under the sun that is repulsive. These people were natives, of course, of the lowest class, but it is nevertheless a very largq class, and one which is totally destitute of any iiea of cleanliness. We passed through part of the Coptic Quarter, with its dark, nrrow streets, in which, if the windows could be opened in the second stories of the houses, you could step from one side of the street to the other, from the house on one side to the opposite one. Of course the sunlight never gets into the miserable thoroughfares except for a few minutes at noon, and they are always damp and slippery from the water thrown out of the houses into them. Some times too we need to exercise a little care to keep our heads from getting an undesirable bath from upper windows, but .to all these little things one soon gets accustomed. We thread our way throughi these dingy, dirty, crowded alleys without the least apprehen sion of danger, and with but very little of the feeling of contamination which we would experience at home.* The school is in the third story of a dark, gloomy . old house. We climbed up the narrow stairs and into the main school room. Before opening the Boarding School, Miss Johnston had spent the greater portion of each day in this school, and then, she said, there was better order in it than we found to-day. The head teacher was sick and ano ther had been dismissed, and the whole four put together would not make the commonest kind of a teacher at home. Yet, compared with other women around them, they were marvels of wisdom, their more ignorant neighbors wondering "how one small head can hold all they know." There were seven ty-six girls present. After we had been round all th e rooms the whole school was brought together in the large school room, and Miss Johnston gave the daily lesson from the Bible, sometimes reading herself, and sometimes making the larger girls read, asking questions and commenting on every verse. She closed with a psalm and prayer, and we took c'ur leave to make some calls, The house of the wealthiest member of the church was near by, and we went up in the hope of securing a little girl for the Board ing School. After we got on the th ird floor, things began to look pretty clean and corn- 1 fortable. The drawing room was handsome- 1 ly furnished, and the ladies of the family the wives of three brothers who all l ive to gether-were neat and clean. Their dresses were made with tight waists, which is a great step forward, and also had a little trimming in the necks. Native women never dream ] of wearing a collar. Their dresses are made lower in the neck than ours and simply hem med, even if it is the handsomest silk, and then they will wear perhaps three necklaces. Two of Miss J.'s teachers had diamond rosses suspended on one of theirs, but these ladies only had on heavy strings of large gold coins tied together so as to form a flat circle, and handsome chains to their watches. Black coffee was served, and they read and talked a little, but,we had to leave without the promise of the girl. It is such a terrible thing in Egypt for a girl "to go out of the] ose"-that is, to spend a night away from . home. - Our next call was on a right nice family in good circumstances, but living in a house I where you felt tha t it was poison to breathe the air for five minutes. A few doors further on lived a family from which Miss Johnston had taken a blind girl to educate for a Bible] woman. We wvent in through a narrow pas sage into the court, which~ is open all the ay up, and admits the only light to a large umber of rooms. It was about ten feet quare, and in the middle was an excavation foot or two deep, into which all the refuse I wter and dirt of every kind is thrown from al h om hc pno ti h w ltothes rove. whe oend oor in uh w --- am The ernnnd floor in such ( bouses is never paved, and in this court there was everything disagreeable. But on one side the house had been cut away in the lower story and a room about ten feet square added to the court. In this place was an Dven-that - is, a dirt oveu-in whicfi the baking is done after the fire is swep; out; and two women were busily employed in attend ing to it. They looked about as well as one ould expect in such a place-that is to say, their c!othes looked sticky and their hands relt so, but they came tanning forward and kissed us both on each cheek. While they talked to Miss J., I looked around me. I knew that they were not baking for them selves alone. Bread is always "sent out" to be baked, as private families cannot afford to keep their own ovens; and quite possibly this bread was intended for the market. The bread itsel is of a kind not known in any other part of the world. It is the native flour made into a batter a little thicker than for cake with us, and beaten until it looks almost like it would froth. It is then sent to the bakery. These women had spread a dingy sheet on the ground in front of the oven, sifted flour thickly over it and then poured the batter over it in small cakes, where it stands a little while "to rise." There was "a swarm" af flies, of course, besides half a dozen sooty-looking children of various ages. Just at my feet was a bay of seven or eight months, lying in the dirt when we went in. While the women were talking it had rolled over in the bread, terribly disfiga ring some of the cakes with both hands and feet. The mother caught it by one hand and swung it off a little further, but without seeming to think there was any harm done. Just then she turned to take out what was in the oven. The door was not very large, and the bread was taken out with a crooked stick, with which each cake was dragged to the door and tumbled down on all the rubbish which was below, to go rolling as far as it pleased on that horrid ground. When all were out, she took up the cakes so sadly marred by the baby's feet, mended the rents, smoothed out the dints and put them in to bake. The other woman was begging Miss John ston to take another girl, and had grown so eloquent in her pleadings that the people up stairs found there were visitors below, and forthwith every window on the court was crowded with dingy faces, and some of them commenced crying down, whereupon we took our leave. When Miss J. took the blind girl eight months ago, Dr. Lansing said she was more a beast than a human being in appearance. Now she likes her bath and clean clothes, clean bed and her food taken at the table, and she reads very well, almost as rapidly as those who see. It seemed plain to me to-day that Boarding Schools were the only hope, almost, for the women of Egypt. It is vain to expect much from girls who live in the same room with donkeys, cows and pigeons, wear such clothes and eat such food as we saw in the last house we visited to-day. But Boarding Schools, even with expenses re duced as low as they can be, are still expen sive, and cannot, therefore, be conducted on any but a very small scale. So we both came home feeling sad and a little disheartened. With men and boys it is different. They are bright, intelligent, quick-witted and hand some, while their mothers and sisters look as if they belonged to another race. We came up, however, looked at the girls who have been here a year, and took heart again. Our walk had been a long one; it was quite warm in the sun and we felt weary. But dinner reinvigorated us, we came up, and Miss Johnston set the girls to work. The afternoon is principally spent in teaching them to sew, make their clothes, &c., and acquiring English penmanship. I studied my evening lesson in Arabic, staid in the school room until four o'clock, and then commenced my writing. At five, my teacher came and I read until half-past six. We then had Arabic prayers, and went over to Dr. Lansing's to tea at seven. It is now half-past nine, and I begin to feel a little wveary. You see every moment is filled up, and Sabbath is as busy a day as any other. So our lives seem to pass very rapidly. Older Missionaries often speak of the way the years go round, and I cannot realize that I had been here six months. When I have the laguage and can work with the others, time will seem to .pass more rapidly still. May I do good in the coming years! Then I am sure I will never regret the long, busy days, let them be many or few. I would like to be with you at your next meeting, but of course that is a vain wish. Give my best love to - and. all., who know or care for me, so far away from you all. Many thanks for the assurance that I am not forgotten. Write to me whenever you can. Yours truly, M. E. GALLOWAY. FOR THE HERALD. Washington Letter. PORT ROYAL TO BE A NAVAL STATION -REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS INDICTED SPEAKERSHIIP OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, CLERK, SERGEANT AT-AlDIS, &C.-A GREAT INVENTION FOR THE GRANGERS. WASHINGTON CITY, D., C., Nov. -. 1875. EDITOR OF THE HERALD: In his forth-comingc report to Con gress the Secretary of the Navy re commends that Port Royal be desig ated as a naval station. This is the first step towards a Navy Yard at that port, and will be of great benefit to that section of the State. R. R. BUTr,ER OF TENNESSEE INDICTED. R. R. Butler. ex-member of Congress from Tennessee, and James S. Negley, member from Pennsylvania, have been indicted by the grand jury of the Dis trict of Columbia for presenting and btaining money on a fraudulent claim rrom the Government of the United States. It is hard for these radicals to withstand the temptation of money. SPEAKERSIIIP OF THE HOUSE. As the time for the assembling of Dongress approaches, the contest for :he Speakership becomes more interest [ng. Hon. Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana, samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, md S. S. Cox, of New York, are the eading candidates so fatr, with the ~hances now in favor of the latter. ach of these gentlemen are true Demo rats of the old school, and each merit he gratitude of the Southern people for he manner in which they defended hem on the floor of the House of Repre atives in those (lark days when the southi had no voice, and her people ,ore maligned by carpet-baggers occu >ying seats once honored by Calhoun, Jobb, Rhett, Butler and other illustrious ;tatesmen. Judging from the compleion~ >f the representation from South Caro ia, neither of these gentlemen need ook in that direction for assistance. CLERK, SEGEANT-AS-AKMS, DOOR KEEPER, &c. It is useless to attempt to give the mmes or number of candidates for the arious positions in the gift of the souse. Each State has its candidate, nd strange to say, each feel confident f success. Well, '-it's hettel to laugh han be sighing." A GREAT INVENTION. One of the greatest inventions of the )resent year is the "Reynolds' Fruit and 7egetable Evaporator-," By the process yhich Mr. Reynolds has adopted, fruits md vegetables can be preserved in their tatural state for any length of time jithout destroying the natural taste or lo. of the produt. By this process the farmers of tie rural districts will now be able to save their fruits and find an unlimited demand at good prices for the same. Only one hour and a half is required by this process of evaporation to preserve the fruit. A factory has been in operation in this city, during the past summer months, that turned out one hun dred and fifty bushels per day, and yot it has not been able to meet the demands of this market. These machines should be in every county in South Carolina. They can be built for a small expense, and by their use thousands of dollars can be saved that are nowe allowed to go to waste. Let those who take an in terest in fruit and vegetable culture send to the "Reynolds' Fruit and Vegetable Evaporating Co.," No. 91 Myrtle St., in this city, for circulars, &c. In this way they can obtain more information than I could give in a letter. The fol lowing I clip from one of the daily pa pers of this city of to-day. It shows that your neighbors are moving in the matter: A FRUIT FACTORY FOR GEORGIA. A company is now being organized to establish a factory for evaporating fruits and vegetables at Atlanta. They have secured the patent right of the "Reynolds' Fruit and Vegetable Evapo rator" for the State of Georgia, and will establish several factories in the State this winter. The Reynolds' Evaporator has the endorsement of the United States Government, and is in all re spects what it is claimed to be, as has been demonstrated by the factory in this city. DEPARTMENTS.
