The Herald for 1881.
With this issue of the H AD we
begin a new volume, and we are
pleased to say with an increased
subscription list. With but few
exceptions we continue to carry the
names of our old subscribers and a I
goodly number of new ones, and
we hope ere the close of another
volume to add considerably to this
list. With this view we ask our
readers to assist us by asking their
friends and neighbors who may not
be subscribers to give us their
names. Very much can be done in
this way, and our readers will reap
the benefit in an improved paper,
for the larger the list of subscribers
the better the publisher can add- to
its interest and appearance. With
thanks for the past and renewed
hope for the future, we wish the
reader a happy new year and the
compliments of the season.
1881.
A new year has begun. The year
that has just closed was a very
eventful one to the whole people of
this country. We will not stop to
recount matters that are still so
fresh in the minds of all. One
thing, however, deserves mention :
it is the grand stability and repose
of popular government as exempli
fled by our late'Presidential elec
tion. Only a few weeks ago two
great parties were arrayed against
each other ; pr..rty feeling ran high;
the country was threatened with
all sorts of direful disasters by the
politicians of the one side and of
the other ; and yet as soon as the
popular will was expressed and
known the waves of party passion1
and strife subsided, and all things
moved on as quietly and as con
tentedly as if nothing unusual had
happened.
For the year 1881;there will .be
nothing to cause political excite
ment. The prospects for the year
are flattering, from many points of
view.
The Cold Wave.
Since the 25th uIt., the weathe'r
has been severe over nearly the
whole country. In New York and
along the sea coasts of the Eastern
and New England States terrible
storms of wind and snow prevailed
the 25th and 26th, accompanied
with intense cold. There were
three snow storms mn Virginia last
week, and in North Carolina the
weather was scarcely less severe.
The extreme cold of the 30th was
~ generaL. The following was
the temperature of some localities :
St. Paul, Minn., 18 degrees below
zero: LaCrosse, Wis., 15 below ;
St. Louis, Mo., 13 below ; North
Platte, Neb., 32 below.
R. R. Accidents.
One freight train ran into ano
ther on the Air Line Road, nine
miles from Charlotte, N. C., the
27th. There were six passengers
in the cab of the front train ; all of
them were killed except one.
The afternoon of Dec. 24th a pas
senger and a freight train collided
on the Air Line Road ten miles
from Atlanta. The passenger train
was going at the rate of 40 miles an
hour ; the freight at 8. The en
gineer and fireman of the freight
engine jumped off and saved them
. selves ; but engineer Peter Keys,
of the passenger, and his colored
fireman, were killed.

of James S. Gibbes vs. The Green
ville & Columbia R. R. Co., an<
others.
Shortly after the war the roa
was thrown into bankruptcy, an<
was purchased by the G. & C. [
R. Company at $65,000, to be pai,
for in bonds of the road at 80 cent
on the dollar when the road shoul,
be rebuilt. The amount of $80
000, necessary to rebuild the roac
was raised by subscription-abo u
$50,000 in Laurens and $30,000 i
Charleston. Bonds were issued t
the amount of $80,000 for rebuildin
the road and $65,000 for the pui
chase money-making, in round nun
bers, $150,000 as the debt of, th
road. A mortgage of the road wo
given to secure the bondholders.
The road was advertised to 1
sold Sale-day in August last ; bt
owing to the trouble that aroE
about the sale of the G. & C. R. R
the sale was postponed.
At the sale Monday the road wE
bid off by A. C. Haskell for $3C
000. The real purchaser is ti
Clyde Company, the same thf
purchased the Greenville & Colun
bia R. R. This company had bougi
up nearly two-thirds of the bond
and they will be able to pay twi
thirds of the bid in bonds whic
cost them only 80 cents on the do
lar. The road therefore costs ti
company about $100,000 or $11C
000.
Those bondholders who held or
and refused to sell their bonds wi
get about fifteen cents on the do
lar.
All that we have learned of ti
sale yesterday (Monday) is contai:

Dec. 29, 1880.
In the absence of Congress we has
during this holiday season severa
delegations of Indians, and active pr<
parations for the greatest inaug~uratio
ceremonies ever known.
The Indians are of various tribe:
but the delegation which is most, ii
teresting to us here, and probably t
people generally, is that of Chiefs <
the Ponca tribe. The means by whic
these Indians were reduced from thei
own exeellent lands in Dakota, an
put upon inferior lands in an ut
healthy portion of the Indian Terr itt
ry, are pretty generally known throug
newspaper publications and records c
meetings in Massachusetts and Nea
York. The Indians were cheated
The Massachnisetts people chargedi
to Secretary Schurz, and the Secretar
acknowledged that through lack a
acquaintance with his duties whe
first appointed he might have beel
responsible. Then Mr. Hayes ap
pointed a commission to inquire int
the whole matter. Then 'the Chief
came, and they yesterday signed awa:
all their rights to. their Dakota birth
right, taking therefor a title to th,
death-dealing land they now occup;
and a promise of money.
Representatives of other tribes nov
in this city are less modest, or les:

They make demands far less easil'
complied with.
Nothing is more certain than tha
the next Secretary of the Interior, i
a business man, and a fair man, wil
find very much to undo in what Sec
retary Schurz has done in his treat
ment of the Indians. It is a pity tha
a man of the breadth of intellect o

Sthe Church's festive season-is sum

n sermon. A family, in the enjoyment
d of its accustomed blessings and privi
leges, and busy about its domestic
Saffairs, is ruddenly shocked by the an
nouneewent that the wife and mother
is dead Thus are we reminded that
-e 'Our days o*n the earth are asa shadow,
p. and there is none abiding.' 'My days
are swifter than a post: they flee
away.' 'They are passed a way as the
Sswift ships: as the eagle that hasteth
I to the prey.' 'Man that is bora of a
r-woman is of few days and full of trou

and is cut down :he fleeth also as a
shadow, and continueth not ' 'As for
man, his days are as grass :as a flower

e ereth, the flower fadeth: because the
dspirit of the Lord bloweth upon it:
surely the people is grass.'
S Such are the teachings of the HoJly
0 Scriptures, and these solemn truthe
are confirmeid by our own observation.
Whilst death is certain, and appointed
unto every man, it is frequently with
out w!$ninrg. and when it is least ex

The deceased was a cousiF:rt iem- fl
ber of the church. And when this t
can truly be said of any one, it is in
deed saving much in his or her favor. s
Of how many of us could this be c
tiuly said? How inconsistent is the a
action-the life-the dep,;rtment-uf p
many members of the church with d
their profession of faith in Jesus and a
fidelity to His holy cause. I do not d
mean that a good man way not som,e- t
times waver for a moment i: the heat
of the battle ; or thnt he may not I
possibly fall under the power of the p
advcrsary should he momentarily for a
get whence His power is derived. and v
trust in his own strength rather than a
in the eternal power of God. But the E
habitual mode of life of one professing
godliness, should not be characterized 1
by inconsistencies and irregularities in a
the ehristian course. In every action c
the honor of God should be before our a
eyes-and it should be our concern to t
develop a full and symmetrical chris- s
tian character. This character was. Q
in a striking degree, evinced by the
deceased. She inwrought her profes I
sion in her life. To do good and
honor God was her pleasure. Her c
influence for good was felt in the c
church, in ber home, and in the so- c
ciety in which she moved. c
She enjoyed the experience of a t
christian, and loved the holy services
of religion. This is one of the surest I f
tests of genuine piety. One may be r
very punctilious in the observance and c
outward ptrforn,ances of the exteraals i
of worship. and withal the heart may I
not enter into the service. Cold for- s
inality may mar every service, and the
soul remain untouched by the spirit -
of God. But I believe the departed (
fully and freely and earnetly entered j
into the services of God both in public j
anid in private. And she enjoyed the t
grace of God in no small degree. The '
joy that animated her heart beamed a
forth in her countenance, and told all a
who met her that she was got a stran- (
ger to the happiness that animatese
every true child of God. N.r was
she afraid to speak of our holy reli- t.
gion and to recommend it when suit
able occasions gave her opportuziity. e
She was always pleased to enter into e
reigious conversation, and was alive -
to the interests of the church.i
Thus it may be truly said that she'
exemplified the life of a true christiant
woman. Without any osteutation, u
she did her part-she believed in Je- a
sus and in an experimental acquaint- c
anee with him. She believed in the 4.
witness of the spirit, and doubtless v
enjoyed its testimony that she was a a
child of God-au heir of heaven-a
redeemed and regenerated sinner, d
whose title to an inheritance in heaven t
was secured by faith in the Son of i:
God. Such a bleesed experience we a
may all covet-and such we may all t
enjoy if we, with true hearts, seek it,
through faith in our Lord Jesus b
Christ. And if we have this experi- o
ence, it will manifest itself. True j
consecratiou to God-and a godly life p~
-can no wore bei hid than a 'city set a
upon a hill.' 'Neither do men light a p
eadle, and put it under a bushel. but 'I
on a candlestiek: and it givet h light a
auto all that are in the house.' n
In her domestic relations as wife h
and mother the same spirit animated bi
hr. As in the sanctuary so in her ti
bome-circle her religious convictikns f
:otrolled her ; and there she was a a
living epistle of the holy influences a
which governed her life and nmoulded a
ber actions as she moved among thew a~
rom day to day. To what extent p
hat holy influence has been stamped n
ipon the members of her household, ']
ternity alone will reveal. And now I
bat God hath taken her to the realms
>f glory, I trust her holy influence a
ay continue in the midst of her be- U
eaed ones, and that kind admoni- h
ions thus fur apparently fruitless, may tI
~till linger as seed sown in good ground. (2
hat may yet spring up, and bring a:
orth much fruit to the glory of God. ei
trust her earnest pleadings where w
one but God could hear, thus far, b;

nay yet break in blessings upon thoso b]

THESI FOR 1881.
Everybody reads THE SUN. In the editions
of this paper throughout the year to come
everybody wili find:
I. All the world's news, so presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount of
information with the least unprofitab!e ex
penditure of time and eyesight. THE 5UN
long ago diseovered the golden mean be
tween redundant tulness and unsatisfactor
Sbrevity.
II. Much of that sort of ncws which de
pends less upon its recognizedl imnportance
than upon its interest of mankind. From
m~orning to morning THE SUN prints a con
tinued story of the lives of real men and
womenI, and of their deeds, plans, loves,
hates, and troubles. This story is more
varied and mo)re interesting than any ro
man~1ce that was ever devised.
11L. Good witing in every column. and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and deco
rum in the treatment of every subject.
IV. Honest commflent. Tus SUN'S habit is
to speak out fearlessly about men and
things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po
litical party, and equal readiness to com
mend what is praiseworthy or to rebuke
what is blamable in Demiocratt or Republi
can.
VL. Absolute independence of partisan
organizations, but unwavering loyalty to
true D)emocratic principles. THE SUN be
lieves that the Governmenit which the Con
stitution gives us is a good one to keep.
Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost
power* the efforts of men in the Republican
p)arty to set up another form of govern
ment in place of' that which exists. The
year 1881 an.i the years immediately fol
lowing will{robably decide this supremely
important contest. THE SUN believes that
the victory will be with the people as
against the Rings for monopoly, the Rings
for plundler, and the Rings for Imperial pow
er.
Our terms are as follows:
For the Daily SUN. a four-page sheet of
twenty-eight Columns, the price by mail,
post paid, is 5.5 cents a month, or $6.50 a
year; or including the Sunday paper, an
eight-page shieet of fifty-six columns, the
price is 6.5 cents a month, or $7.70 a year,
postage paid.
The Sunday edition of THff SU'N is also
furnished separtely at $1.20 a year postage
paid.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN, eight pages,
fitty-six columns, is $1 a year, postage paid.
For clubs of ten sending $10 we will send an
extra copy free.
