At a recent meeting of the Charles

by many of the most prominent bu

“Have you any objections to telling

“None whatever. I assume, of
course, that Mr. Cleveland wishes to

country in the hands of the most elU-

can never have the public business
properly performed and administered
by incompetent or corrupt servants,

will be one of the paramount duties
of the in-coming Administration.

uiuliiig by fearless, intelligent and

the products of Uie fertile West.
With sucli a highway a feeder and
with deep water at the bar, she would
leap forward in the race of progress
and prosperity with an energy hereto
fore unknown.
In order to reach this happy con
summation, Charleston must respond
liberally to the emergencies of the
case, or the opportunity will slip from
her grasp like the Midland Railroad
project. Hlie cannot alford to hold
back as the News and Courier inti
mates until the grading of the road is
completed. If she does, it may never
be completed. She must not wait
until all the hard work is done, and
then hope to enjoy the fruits of a great
enterprise made possible by the toil
and liberality of others. The News
and Courier says, “It is proper to say
thak wa ha vc rm-ieten tluxC Charleston
would furnish the money for grading
the road; but if the counties which
tiie line traverses can make it ready
f >r the superstructure, Charleston can
complete it without delay.” If this
paragraph means anything, it inti
mates that Charleston will take no
stock in the enterprise, but that when
u safe point has been reached in the
progress of the work, she can lend the
money on first mortgage bonds to com
plete the Road. This is not the proper
spirit. When tho Road reaches that
point it can get all the money it wants
from any source. Iu so far as Aiken is
concerned, tho advantanges will be in
significant as compared with what
will accrue to Charleston, yet, many
of our citizens have subscribed to
stock, and we believe that if a little
energy and life can be infused into the
undertaking, a great deal more will he
taken.
If the Charleston merchants take
business I would not be understood
as holding that removals and appoint
ments to oillce are the chief duties of
an Executive, but they are vastly im
portant. If the Democratic party ex
pects to remain in power it must act
affirmatively upon the great public
questions confronting us. It cannot
temporize and drift. It must deal
with the tarift and our prostrate for
eign commerce; with the resurrection
and rebuilding of the navy, in a busi
ness, statesmanlike manner, and re
store them to a healthful, vigorous
growth. There are the silver and cur
rency questions in a very unsatisfac
tory condition. The Isthmean prob
lem and our entire consular and dip
lomatic relations with foreign powers,
and many others, the Democratic
party will lie expected to settle ad
vantageously ami honorably to the

Yomig Mahone Again.
From a Washington Special.
There was an interesting scene at
the National Theatre, last Friday
night, which in a small way rivals the
recent scandalous outbreak at Castle
Stewart. The Mestayer Company
was playing an engagement there.
Miss Marie Bokel, a member of the
company, attracted the favorable at
tention of a young man, tiie son of a
Senator. This youngster, with a party
of small-fry swells, generally make
the tip-town hotels the meeting-places
to devise new dissipations of a char
acter suited to their feeble intellects.
This night, iiowever, he and one of
his friends were unusually bold. After
the curtain fell in the last act they
climbed upon the stage, pushed their
way behind the curtain, ami stumbled
about until they found themselves in
Miss Bokel’s* dressing-room. She
screamed for help. Her husband and
one or two members of the company
appeared, and, after spanking the two
I young men soundly, took them by the
fied that their moral and material aid ears and led them out into the alley
will be strongly reinforced by every
county along the line, and that the
Road will in the near future be
come an accomplished fact. But if
she fails to give the proper counte
nance and support that may reasona
bly be expected of her, we have no idea
that the counties along the line will
put their shoulders to the wheel, with
that zeal and enthusiasm so necessary
to insure success.

parallel the Savannah Valley and
Greenwood Roads nearly all the way,
being not over an average of twelve
miles or so distant.
The new road, though important to
Pickens, affords Oconee no sort of fa
cilities whatsoever; it literally adds
nothing to Anderson, skirting as it
does the Eastern border of the County
for its whole course not more than an
average of three miles from the track
of the Columbia and Greenville
main line, while the Anderson branch
and the Blue Ridge lines do heart
Anderson. The new road does heart
Abbeville and Edgefield and is of mo
ment to these two Counties. We can
see no local facilities afforded Aiken,
as a glance at the line on the map
will show.
In enumerating the resources of the
aforesaid triangle, which don’t trian
gulate worth a cent, Gen. Hagood is
reported as saying:
“It contains the County of Edge-
field, which sends more cotton to mar
ket than any other County in the
State, and is, perhaps, about the
fourth County in cotton-producing
capacity in the United States. It con
tains the rich and productive County
of Abbeville, and the County of An
derson, which is one of the most pros
perous, if not the most prosperous,
County in South Carolina. It also
contains the fine agricultural and
manufacturing County of Pickens.”
This is all very pretty on paper, but
let us see.
Take Edgefield; according to its re-
turnsof taxable property, it is one of
the poorest Counties in the State in
proportion to ita temtoVy Hnrl popula
tion. In the census of is80 Edgefield
is returned at an assessed valuation of
$3,500,000; Aiken at -K*,700,000; Abbe
ville, on another side, at $4,700,000;
and Newberry, on a third side, at
$4,055,000. Even negroized and plun
dered old Beaufort, but a segment of
herself, stands at $2,900,000, only $000,-
000 below. * * * *
Edgefield trades in Augusta, and
the new road, along with the rest in
that section, will only help her all the
more readily to the Augusta marts
via Troy and Aiken. Cotton at Aiken
is only seventeen miles from Augusta;
whilst it is 120 miles from Charleston,
ond at Troy but forty-nine miles from
Augusta.
Abbeville always traded with Au
gusta in olden times, and these new
facilities will only serve to wheel her
2(5,000 hales into line with Edgefield’s.
With references to the highly pros
perous County o f Anderson, we have
already shown how it is that the Car
olina Cumberland Gap will offer her
no material facilities. Her 22,000
bales will sift down to Augusta by her
Savannah Valley Road, and there is
no sort of help for it; for these border
people prefer to trade with Augusta.
Charleston can no more draw trade
now, than she can move down
the everlasting hills to Rebellion
Roads. It is an utterly vain thing,
without that free use of capital which
once drew trade to the old city from
all directions. In drawing her purse
strings, Charleston lias shut herself
out; and she ought to have sense
enough to see all this. A city that
takes no risk gets no trade Besides
all this, Augusta havng the proximity
of 70 to 100 miles on Charleston,
the law against discrimination fastens
this border trade on Augusta beyond
peradveuture.
The Western border Counties to the
sea produced in 1880 150,224 bales, a
large part of which went to Augusta
and Savannah. The middle Counties
produced 236,431 bales. The Eastern
138,452. We thus see that 374,000
bales out of the 525,000, or nearly four-
fifths, produced in 1880 were made by
the middle and Eastern Counties.
And yet Charleston seems to lose
sight of all this in favoring the new
trunk line on the extreme Western

Faffing of Khartoum ami

London*, Feb. 14.—The Standard
this afternoon publishes a dispatch
from its correspondent at Korti, stat
ing that a messenger has just arrived
at l.iori i who declares that Khartoum
has not been captured by El Mahdi.
Tiie messenger, the correspondent
says, asserts that he left Khartoum
six days after Col. Sir Charles Wilson
appeared before the city in the boats
seats from Gubat, and "that when he
(the messenger) left, Gen.Gordon still
held Khartoum. The Government
officials do no believe the messenger’s
story, and state that no official in-
f irination confirmatory of it has been
received.
Another dispatch from Korti states
that tiie messengers who have arrived
there Irom Khartoum profess igno
rance regarding the fall of Khartoum,
or of the death of Gordon. The Mudir
of Dongola refuses to credit the re
ports concerning the captureof Khar
toum by the Mahdi and tiie massacre
of Gordon and the garrison under his
command. The authorities here an
nounce this afternoon that they do
not believe the messengers statements
rest on a satisfactory basis.

O VER ONE THOUSAND IN USE IN THIS STATE alone, and giving
entire satisfaction. Asa Water Elevator it has the following merits:—
It is labor-saving, and is tiie simplest structure for
raising water on the market.
IT IS EASILY ADJUSTED TO ANY WELL OR CISTERN.
Any person can put one up in 30 minutes, as it has no attachment
part of the well below the platform.
fat
IT IS THE MOST DURABLE FIXTURE FOR*THE PURPOSE IN USE.
It is substantially constructed, and the buckets never come in contact with
each other, or the sides of the well, and the groove provided in the wheel
is so arranged as to produce but little friction on the rope and none on tho
pulley.
IT WORKS EASILY.
The buckets balance each other, so the only resistance to overcome Is the
weight of the water in one bucket; hen'-i it is the only structure that will
raise water from deep wells without a corresponding increase of friction, and
that requires no more power to operate in a well of 100 feet than in one of 20
feet depth.
IT IS ALWAYS READY FOR USE AND ALWAYS AT ITS BEST.
After years of service the same number of turns of the crank brings tho
same amount of water as when new.
IT HAS NONE OF THE OBJECTIONS COMMON TO PUMPS.
It will never freeze, has no w*ooden tubing to wear out, decay and polluto
the water, no iron tubing to rust, never lias to be primed, packed or thawed
out, and you do not have to pump out a pail full of water to get a fresh,
cool drink.
It is entiely free from danger.
Being provided with a self-acting brake, governed by an eccentric, it Is
impossible, should the hand accidentally slip from the crank, for the bucket
to run down. Hence any child can handle it with perfect safety.
ESFTHE ENTIRE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF WELL COVER,
WHEEL WITH CRANK, two buckets and one spout for each bucket.
These spouts are attached to inside of curb or frame, and are operated by
rod pressure from tiie outside, bringing them up under and raising the valvs
in the bottom of the bucket and conveying the water to a proper receptacle.
Hence it will be seen that the unpleasant handling of ropes and buckets
will be done away with, and the uncleanliness attending such .operation
avoided.
