Ion ??-.--. : ; ?" j ' />? jI On an ei En uro? April 18. ?To the Editor of the News and Courier'. .. I seo by the annual report of the pri?ident ami directors that the net ear . nings .of tho South Carolina Ilailroad . Company, during the past year, have exceeded hall a million of dollars. It 'is certainly reasonable to cxpsot that a ? railroad company so prosperous, and ap - plying taoue of its eainings to dividends, 0..wpuld. at least provide suitable depotB and platforms at every station on its lice. The report says, complacently enough, that the property of tho com pany hao been maintained, it is believ ed, in a condition 1 fully up to tho siati dard of the best Southern roads." How ever this may be as to other points, 1 will venture to assert that the depot and platfoim arrangements at Orangoburg .1(rWpuld disgrace the poorest little "ono | horse'' road to bo found in tho United ; States. Tho expenditures for these purposes, here, have been on a sdale of -' niggard in ess . amouuting to mc.mcss. The building is little better than a shan tyl_w.hich..the company was excusabl? for putting.thcro-itnnicdintcly after the war, but has beeu wholly inexcusable for faejtiiig (here, one <hiy after it hud . the means of providing decent accom , modatibns for passengers. A moan, ^v .narrow room partitioned off from the rough freight depot, Coarsely waathor ". hoarded, constitutes the so-called pas sengcr depot. This cramped apartment not one-half the proper size originally, hak been rendered still smaller by cut ? ting off two portions of it. Ono ol these is for the telegraph. '.I ho other, < Ja seems, was intended for the qgeut's office; but no man ^onld .-?wer have guessed tlut^i'; "Was designed to be oc cupicd by a human being. It is a coarse little chicken coop structure; not much larger than tho cook's cabooso on a small coasting schooner?depending for light on a hole cut in the outer wall of about the eize of a man's head? which hole is unsashed in the coldest ?weather, and closed, when not in use, by a pieco of board, fasteucd by a rail spike poked through an uuger hole ! This is tho provision made for its agent by a corporation whose clear incoina exceeds half a million of dollars ! In this dark little coop most tickets be prepared and uccouuts kept by that un fortunate agent who, though highly efficient, receives a salary deemed piti ful by those who know the large amount of labor he faithfully performs. When a ticket purchaser presents himself at the solitary loophole which lights the den I have described, his head so nearly .4> ,-Jills it that the agent can scarcely be , ? _ ceen in the darkness, and how he sees to do his work can be accounted lor only t >?*??? ?? on the, suppi'Sitoiu thrt he was specially designed by Providence for the night . and day work of the South Carolina Bnilroad Company. But not only do these two ooops diminish the originally cramped room called by a stretch of* courtesy the passcngor depot. The . balance of the small spaoo left is still further reduced by u stove in tho cen tre, and when, in winter; two persons pass each other in tho narrow spaco on I each side of it, some skill is required to . e?cape being jammed against the wall on one side or burnt by the stove o i the other. But disgraceful as is the depot here to the South Carolina Railroad Conipa. ny, the platform arrangements about it are even more so if that be possible; !'>r ;,-.v,tthey are not only inconvenient in tho extreme to all, hut absolutely dant/eroits |jwto persons taking tho train for Charles ton. Jpstead of being able to stop from the platform Uoxi the depot iuto the ^.fars they must *?a down to the bed of the road, make their way through a nar . -.JfW passage between the tracks (usiully g^l^e^d in on both sides by curs,) and run, ,be imminent risk of being so jos tied by the hurrying crowd as to bo thrown under the wheels of tho train, which may be in motion tho next mo ,, j jaaenfc. One single accident tof n serious r .kind, from this cause, will bo quite sutli v;eicntto induce a jury in action for . damages to tcaoli the company a losson it will not soon forget. Thoy will then learn that even a great railroad corpora tion way be "penny wiso and pound fool {ah"?thut junh niggardinces as they have practiced here is not only not economy, but very exponsivo folly, and that it will be cheaper to expend a lit tle of that half million in providing a proper platform thau pay a verdict w Ii ich wo ii Id Luild a scoro of thorn. ___,.._!

A hohl robbery was committed upon Mrs. Little, wife of Sheriff John H Little, on last Monday evening, about 2 o'clock, in broad daylight and within less than a half milo [of Clinton, and in full view of the business portion of that place. It seems that Mrs Little accompanied by a colored female, had (.tailed from her residence in Clinton to go to the plantation of Mr Little, about four miles di.-tant, Mrs. Land sorvant wcro traveling in a buggy together, when but a short distance from home they were met iu '.he road by a bright mulatto, on horseback, who inquired of Mrs L if sho was the- wife of Sheriff Little? Mrs L replied that she was, and asked the robbor what he wantod 'He replied, 41 You have money aud I wank it,' at the same time drawing a pistol and presenting it, with a throat that if she did not give the money up he would kill her. It so happened that Mrs. Little did have at (hit timo on her person S(J70 (which it is suppisod she "was carrying with her for safe keeping as her husband was absent), all of-which was surronderod to tho robbor, who then made his 'escape, and is still at lar^o. ; If thy conscience smite thee once, it * is admonition; if it smite thee twice, it ' is condemnation. A Characteristic Suicide. The suicide of the Paris financial speculator, Laviviere, has produced a sensation?not from the failure which is of lute but too common an event ia Paris, but by tho cool manner in which ho killed nimself. He hired a spcoial room for the purpose, and retired there after a fcubstantial breakfast. He had proviously written letters begging of his Irieuda to come quickly and save his remains from public viow, and above all fromexposure in the Morguo. Having stopped all crevices, bo sot lire to some charcoal, but found tho chimney could not be stuffed completely. However he regarded that drawback as only a longth eningofhis suffering, sand resolved to wait tho coniirr, of the suffocation, pas sing the time in noting down his sensa tions. In the jntcrim his Icttcs had been received and frionds rushed to as certain the state of affairs. Oue gen tleman knocked at the door, aud tho un fortunate replied, but while a second koy was sought, to open the door a pistol shot was heard. The baukor was found dund; the ink was not dry ou tho paper where he expressed his happiness that his friends having nrrivod, his corpse would now bo respected. *^ -?-?--?.??<? LICENSE ACT.
