The Herald is in the highest respect aFan Hy Newa pper, devoted to the material in terests ofthe people of this County and th, Stare. It circulates extensively, and as as Adverti medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. or Terms, see first page. _ The R. R. Question. The talk about building a rail road that would run through New berry, Prosperity, Leesville an< Blackville to Port Royal has so fa been only talk. The speeches a the meetings have only set forth ii glowing colors the advantages c raihoads. Nothing has been don in the way of communicating wit] outside parties. Not a single rail road corporation or railroad mai hae- been interested, nor asked t take part in the project. Ther has not even been a committee al pointed to devise ways and meanf to investigate the feasibility of th movement, and to communicat - with other localities interested-s that whether the proposed railroa+ ever get to Pprt' Royal the partie at the head of the movement ar themselves "at sea." We do not want to dampen th ardor of feeling that exists in th minds of any on this subject; bu I we want to suggest that if they it tend to accomplish anything the must be practical and must wor with some definiteness of purposE Such meetings as that at Brown Moseley's Mill, the 25th, while the are very pleasant gatherings,amoun to nothing; at least we can see n practical good to result from then ~ .

Crops will be short, but by economy ani thrift our farmers can worr3 through with comparative comfor1 and ease. Let them save all th< grass and. hay they can, plant pret ty liberally of small grain, mille1 and such things for their stock, t( supplement the short corn and oal crops, and they will get along Grumbling and grieving will not mend matters. And then they car comfort themselves with the reflec tion that a "dry" year is usualll followed by one of fine seasons Abundant crops were made in 1846 after the worst year known to the oldest inhabitant. Thie Normal Institute closed its session at Greenville Friday, afte. - four weeks duration. It was mort largely attended than last year, th< whole number of teachers attending being three hundred and thirty The session was a very satisfactor' one in every particular.

Now comes the news that Lieu tenant Flipper, colored, who grad uated at West Point in 1877, and has been wearing the uniform of a soldier since, has been caught in an attempt to embezzle $5,000 belong ing to the Commissary Department. The President's Condition Was extremely critical Friday and Saturday. It was thought he could live only a few hours. Sun day he began to rally, and there is still a faint hope that he may pull through. State News. Josh Munday, colored, was 'yang ed at Edgefield Friday, 26th, for murder. Three negro prisoners, one of them a convicted murderer, escaped r from the Richland County jail the t 24th. A young man in Orangeburg e County, named Duford, 19 years of age, committed suicide because his girl refused him. The notorious outlaw Lewis R. Redmond pleaded guilty before the e United States Court at Greenville last week to ten indictments for violating the revenue laws in various e ways. e A fight with guns took place in o the neighborhood of Fruit Hill, 3 Edgefield County, the 24th, between s Jesse W. Timmerman on one side e and J. W. Buzzard and an 18 year old son on the other. Mr. Bnz e zard, Sr., was killed instantly, and e the son was so badly wounded that t his recovery is doubtful. Mr. Tim . merman was shot by young Buz. y zard in the groin. Timmerman k escaped. FOR THE HERALD. From Smokey Town. ''With joy I hear my friends exclaim. 0 'Come let us in God's temple meet.' " -~ In our section of the country, for Sthe last two weeks, most of the time - has been spent in devotioral exercise. e On Saturday, 13th of August, the Sprotracted meeting commenced at -Bethel, the Baptist Church of which IRev. Milton Norris is pastor. As is a usual on Saturday evenings the con gregation was small, and the pastor Lseemed somewhat discouraged that his Llooked-for assistance was not at hand. SComforted, however, by the glorious ~fBible promises, which prompt us to e "pray and not faint," he went ardu - ously to work as though the blessiDg was sure, and it did not tarry. Sab e bath the congr~egation was large, and I- we had two good practical sermons a suited to the occasion, mingled with D many a fervent prayer that they might C) bear fruit. On Monday Rev. Elkin 8 came and the entire work did not de a volve so heavily on one. As the two e ministers labored the meeting grew s visibly warmer, and on Tuesday seve r ral, on profession of faith in Christ, 3 connected themselves with the church. Rev. Elkin preached thirteen consecu t tive sermons, two each day and one Seach night. Though we could see no s Aaron or Hur staying his hands, we - felt that there was a Mighty Unseen >Power doing the work, for his words - flowed as "from the pen of a ready - writer." By the kind- consent of our patrons, we with our pupils, attended services each day. It was a precious ,privilege and one the memory of which 3 we shall cherish while life lasts. For a this meeting we had spent many a I fond wish and earnest prayer, and how , we trembled with hope and fear as Swe thought of those whom we loved ~ so dearly, still standing out in the cold world, so far from the fold of God. But it pleased God to make His sanctuary a very Bethel, and as we saw fathers, mothers, sisters and -brothers humbly coming and declaring themselves on the Lord's side, we felt that "God had indeed visited His people." During the meeting twenty five were added to the church. The preaching was all good, the congrega tion attentive, and every one seemed Sto enjoy the meeting. There was some little excitement manifested in the congregation, but none by those who united themselves with the church. They seemed to be acting in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. This week there has been a protracted Smeeting at Mt. Zion, whicb we have not een bleto attend, but we learn -that many more have joined the t church. From our pupils, of this . year, eleven have cast in their lot 1with the people of God. Rejoicing, we would praise cur Heavenly Father with songs and magnify Him with thanksgiving. The membership of a the churches has been much refreshed f and invigorated. We speak for all ,when we say, may the God of all grc rant to these worthy watch men, who "shunned not to declare the whole counsel of God," "many stars ;n thir.crwns when Lie mnaketh up In the Iihlaiands Agaian-Our Quarters-The Miunain Lily. IIENDERSONVILLE, N. C.. Aug.5, SS1. Again in the highlands, of which we shall speak briefly. The A. C. Jones' excursion, which brought us here, was a pleasant affair and gave "eu mral satisfaction to the entire party. so much so that we have heard the wish expressed that having conducted the former and this one so well that he would get up another. But we say NO TO THIS; two experiments of the kind have given abundant proof that the New berry people are not excurtists. Rest on your honors, Capt. Jones-you did well. Hendersonville is as full as an old gossip, and yet they come-the people-and yet they are taken in and stowed away and done for on the most approved plans. We are sleeping in the Barber Shop that was, in the old rock house of delightful memory, and it is decidedly more sedate and re spectable now than on our former visit. COL. POOL AND FA3IILY are my left supporters, while a saddle shop is on my right, and the stairs between the Col.'s and our room is the passage way for numberless ladies who room up stairs-the whole form ing a quiet, orderly community. We are right on the street, you know, and it would never do for sueh respectable looking individuals as ourselves to countenance anything unseemly. C. C. C., our irrepressible host, gave a magnificent hop in honor of Newberry and Laurens last night, and on this occasion the light fantastic faudangos were executed in the dining room, and of course as all the preparations had to be made after supper, it was half past ten before everything and everybody could be fitted in. It was an immense crowd and Chase, and Jay, everybody knows Jay, and a Mr. Gray did wonders, and therefore we take pleasure in making mention of themi in this brief history. The hop or ball was a success, although we did not dance. To-day was given to THlE MO0UNTAIN LILY, not a fair nyu:ph, reader, but the steamer of which so much has been said, and of which Capt M jlivels, of Charleston, through the columns of the Greenville News, very funnily says he cannot speak without going into a spasm. The Captain alludes discourteously to the Mountain Lily, in saying that her crew have to wade in and push her along, and much wore of the same kind. The Lily is a modest little thing and feels the cruel shaft which has struck her, but to-day she got up steam like a little witch and Capt. Davis succesefully proved that she was full of life, and will make the entire run as soon as the river rises. He came in to-night with the gratifying iritelligence that it is be ginning to swell from a rain which fell to-day. Enough said for the present. FOR THE HERALD. SILVER STREET. MESSRS. ED1TORs: You may be gratified to know that your editorials on subjects of Simon Johnson and prohibition are generally thought to be exactly true and correct. 1 have heard persons discussing them, and they agree with you. Time will prove you are right, and fully vindicate your position on prohibition. If the pres ent Legislature force prohibition on the people it will certainly be made a question in the next election; for the liquor dealers and drinkers will feel that they have been first attacked, and the result will be a division of the Democracy, the triumph of the oppo sition, the State remanded to its for mer debased condition before the days of Hampton, and then liquor unlimit ed everywhere, and so the defeat of the very object the prohibitionists have in view. There is another ques tiou though on which we, the farmers, differ with most of the Editors in the State. Most of them and their staff contend that the farmers are making (on paper) a two thirds to three fourths cotton and other crops. This 'is cruel and tantalizing to us who know we will not go over a half crop, and if you rich country editors persist any longer in this idea, I suggest that you back up your judgment by going through the County and buying up the crops at half a crop. which you can easily do, and realhze the other fourth profit on each, therehy adding much to your already princely wealth. FARMER. Wicked for Clergymen. Rev. -, Washington, D. C., writes: I believe it to be all wror'g and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritorious article made of val uable remedies known to all, that all physician us nd trust in daily, we FOR TTD HERALD. Studlents' Ite-union. The hat Re-i onf th. studen1tS,ex-tu dents and ainoni of Newberry College for the present year was held at Corinth, Edg'. field County, Rev. C. P. Boozer's charge, Saturday, August 27, 1S81. The meeting was organized by calling Prof. E. H. Aull to the ch:ir, Prof. C. W. Welch acting as Secretary. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.C. P. Boozer. The business of the Association was then attended to. Mr. W. G. Houseal, of Newberry, an alum uus of the College of the cla:s of 1881, was presented to the audience, and in a most happy manner argued the cause of educa tion, and urged the claims of his Alma Ma ter. After this speech the query plan was adopted: that is, several questions were presented and discussion was invited, not only from the members but from any pres ent. The first question discussed, "Does Ed ucation Pay?" was opened by Mr. C. M. E fird, of Lexington. The speaker, in a very practical and earnest style, argued the claims of the affirmative, and showed most, conclusively that education does pay, and that most abundantly. Prof. C. W. Welch followed, and also pressed the claims of the affirmative. A farmer always selects and cultivates his richest fields. Why? Be cause it pays ; it produces a better harvest. Upon the same principle should the mind be cultivated, developed, educated. It is the rich field. It pays to cultivate it. An intermission was then given and a sumptuous dinner enjoyed. The first question for the afternoon sea sio1-, "What is the relation of the '.'oinmon Schools and Colleges?", was discussed by Prof. Welch. The Common School, the High School, the College and the Universi ty should all be links in the chain of edu cation, and helps to each other. In the Common School the foundation is Ld: it is more important that the fouudati,; of an education be substantial than that the foun dation of a house be strong. Therefore good and competent teachers should be employed in the common schools the same as in the colleges. The principle of in struction in both is the same. "What is the comparative value of the Classics and the Natural sciences?", was next announced, and the discussion was o pened by Rev. C. P. Boozer. Both should be studied : you must study the classics in order to a right comprehension of your own vernacular. They must be studied in order to a right understanding'of the nat ural sciences. Prof. Aull followed, claim ing that the object of an education is not so much the stocking of the mind with knowledge and facts. Its main object be ing to train the mind to think, and to think logically, to develop all its faculties, what ever best accomplishes this end should have a prominent place in our curriculum of study. The classics are important for this reason. The Natural Sciences to be studied, also, to a certain extent-far enough to point out the way that they may be studied after the College course is finished. The discussion was .losed by Mr. W. G. Hlous eal, who also spoke in favor of the study of the classics as a good discipline. It makes no difference if' not a single Greek or Latin word is remembered provided they were diligently studied in College. The last question, "If a man has several sons and is able to educate only one, what should he do ?" was discussed by Mr. U. M. Efird. It would be a diflicu!: matter for a parent to call his children around hinm and select one and give him a good education and let the others growv up in ignorance. Do the best you can for all of them, in an educational standpoint. Thus closed the exercises of the day, and it-is hoped that some good has been done in the cause of education and for our Col lege. Long will the members of the Re Union remember the kindness and bospi tality of the good people of this portion of Edgefield County. A. Hard Times. Abbeville Press and Banner. It is only necessary for one to ride into the country to become convinced of the alarmingly short crops of this year. In our opinion we are on the eve of a panic, the like of which we have never seen. Hundreds of far mers cannot begin to pay for the ad vances which they have received on the crop, and the greatest number of them have mortgaged their mules, wagons and cattle to secure the pay ment of the lien. In some instances the merchant may be able to wait, but it is fair. to prediet that many plow animals will be sold off the va rious farms of delinquent debtors. It behooves every citizen to husband all his resources, and to contract no new debts of any kind. The failure of the crops in t.he West will most likely send up the price of corn and bacon to a figure which will do much to embarrass us still further. It is pos sible that the failure of the crop will very materially affect the value of real estate, and it is barely possible to see the prices of farming lands go down to the figures at whioh it sold three or foulr years ago. Prudent men will of course be careful about contracting debts at this time, and those who are in debt have the great est reason to fear evil consequences. MORAL SUASION OR LEGAL EN ACTMENT.-The editor of the An derson intelligencer is a strong tem perance man and an active worker in the cause. Commenting on the re sult of the recent North Carolina ece. tion on the prohibition question he says: 'This vote of the people of North Carolina shows that they are jealous r, any abridgment of their rights, even the right to buy whiskey when ever they want it, and demonstrates the absurdity in a free government of trying to force any law upon a people who are opposed to its spirit and pur poses. Had the law been passed ab solutely by the Legislature it would have destroyed the Democratic party of North Carolina, and also been re pealed at the first session of the Leg islature after the next election. There are some reforms which should bo at tempted by moral suasion, and not by legal enactment.' Prohiition is no longer a p:ractical State issue in South Carolina. The overwhelming defeat of the Temper ance people in the late North C.arolina election is proof positive that the ountry is not yet prepared for so rad ical a change. The prohibitionists can, however, find consoling encour ugeent in the spread of temiperance - .. - ii Charleston to Colum"i a. Approaching Completion of an Important Bailroad. News and Courier. Without any public announcement or flourish of trumpets. an important local railroad in South Carolina has been ineorporated and surveyed, and is uow rapidly approaching com:ple tion. This road is ti Central Rail. road of South Carolina. It is built under peculiarly favorable circum stances, and is expected to have a marked effect on the trade of Charles ton. The stock holders are confident that it will be a prosperous concern, and expect it to vie with far more pretentious lines in the magnitude of its income and the smallness of its expenses. THE COMPANY ORGANIZED. In 1869 a company was organized under the style of the -South Carolina Central Railroad Company,' for the construction of a road from Lane's Station on the Northeastern Road, fifty.three miles from the city, to Sumter on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Road, a distance of for ty miles. The route was duly located and some work was done upon it when the project was abandoned, and the charter by its own limitation ex pired. In the meanwhile Messrs. Pritchett & Land, extensive producers of naval stores in that section, con ceived the idea of utilizing wha t had been done, and constructed a tram road upon a portion of the line to a point known as Forestown, thirteen miles from Lane's. This they suc cessfully accomplished, and with a light locomotive and a few small cars moved for some five years all the freights of that section to and from the Northeastern Road. But their facilities proving unequal to the de mands upon them it was proposed to convert the tram-road into a railroad, and to extend the same via Manning to Sumter. With this view a charter was obtained for what was termed the the 'Williamsburg Railroad,' the title of which was subsequently changed i to the 'Central Raiload of South Caro lina.' THE CAPITAL SUBSCRIBED. In the early part of this year the 'charter was duly secured and a com pany organized, with Mr. -S. S. Sol omons as the president and chief en gineer, for the construction of the road. The first step was the par chase of the Pritebett & Land prop erty, the intention being to substitute for the wooden rail then in use upon it old iron rails of a quality sufficient ly good to answer the purposes of a freighting road. This, however, was only partially carried out, when about. the 1st of July the company changed its plans and determined to build a. first-class road thbroughout, using heavy steel rails and all the most approved appliances for the best performance of any service which might be re quired of it Its original capital was extended fr-ow $50,000 to $150,000, and the additional stock was promptly taken up. It was then decided to issue $300,000 6 per cent. first mort gage bonds, which were readily ne gotiated at par, and with these re sources active oporations were com menced about the nmiddle of the past month. THE WORK IN PROGRESS. The company has now abont 700 hands at work in preparing the road bed, getting crossties, &c. Three thousand six hundred tons of fifty six pound steel rails have been bought, eleven hundred tons of them. are nowI being discharged at the Northeastern Railroad wharf, and going forward on the cars to Lane's. A cargo is afloat to be delivered at Wilmington, N. C., to be carried to Sumter (the upper terminus of the road,) f:-om which 1 point track laying will also begin as soon as thle rails reach there. COMPLETION OF TIIE ROAD. In addition to the rails for the whole line, the company has also bought two locomotives, to be de livered very soon- The completion of the road is simply a question of time ~ and labor, and under favorable cir cumstances it may be accomplished by the middle of November next. The completion of the Central Rail road will place Sumter within 93 miles of Charleston, as against 141 by a the present route by way of Florence. At Sunmter the Central Railroad will ~ connect with the Wilmington, Col-I umbia and Augsta Railroad, making the distance between Charleston and i Columbia 136 miles, against 130 miles by the South Carolina Rail- a road. THE COMPANY'S PROSPECTS. i There is little doubt that the Cen tral Railroad will earn large dividends. - There is no 'water' in the capital of i the road. Completely equipped, built ~ in the m.nst substantial manner, and laid throughout with steel rails, it will ~ not cost morei than $10,000 a mile. w This is lower than the cost of any ~ similar road in the conntry. -The cost A of the Soiuth Carolina Railroad, ac cording to Poor's Railroad Manual, was $40,000 a mile, and of the North eastern Railroad $21,000 a mile. The Central Railroad will have a large B local business, and as it will work in harmony with the Northeastern Rail- C road and Wilmington, Columbia and D Augusta Railroad, and puts those E roads on eqoal footing at Columbia with the South Carolina Railroad, it. expects to divide the Columbia business with the South Carolina Railroad It is n,ot said that any pre- G ference will be giv'en to the Central Railroad, but it is certain that theH Dan ville Syndicate and the Associated Lines of Virginia and the Carolinas are favorably disposed, and necessarily se in t... new route a friend1 and allyo crt. ' f the gross receipts. If the xr(s rtecipts be only half as great as .lv Northeastern R:ilroad. which last Fear were $3,9t; per mile, the net t.C.'me of the (entr:dl R:ilroad will S40,000. This will pay the in crest (S18,000) on the first mortgage J't,t and leave 22,000 for dividerds no 1-5t.000 of capital stock, or equal to 15 per ctnt. per aunum. OWNED IN CHARLESTON. Not a single share of the stock of :he Central Railroad is owned by any railroad or other corroration. The mtjority of the stock is owned here in UIarleston. Indeed there is only one 3tockholder outside of the city. As already mentioned, all the rails have bfen bought, and the road will be scmpleted as fast as money and iuus :l; can compass it, to the great benefit >f Charleston and to the profit of the ,agacious stockholders.
