E. B. MU?KAY, Editor. THURSDAY, NOV. 12, 1885. TERMS: ONE YKA1I*_81.50. SIX MONTHS._. 75c. Two Dollars IX not paid in advance. The elections of this year are over, and the Democrat who is not satisfied with the result is hard to please. The experience of the Republicans in the Virginia campaign in importing orators to republicanize Southern States, will have a wholesome effect in the future._ The bloody shirt has a slight fascina? tion left in it for the "Hooaiers," bnt it has lost its power in New York. John Sherman & Co. will do well to make a note of this fact for fnture reference. The New York Independent says "it is high time that government of the saloon, by the saloon, and for the saloon, should perish from the earth." It will not be long, we hope, until Anderson County abolishes it from its'limits. Since the result of the November elections has been declared, John Sher? man and Governor Foraker have grown beautifully less as political magnates. No two Democratic orators did so much to elect Hill in New York and Lee in VirgiDia._ The Boeton Herald says: "Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina, now a some? what permanent resident of Massachu? setts, says: 'I never drank liquor.' -We advise him to take to drink when he comes out of prison. Any change would be desirable." It would be wicked to induce him to give up his solitary virtue. . The Irish vote which Mr. Blaine led off from the Democrats in New York, nod the Mugwumps who President Cleve? land led off from the Republicans in that State have returned to their former party allegiance. The result is a larger .Democratic majority than we had in that State for President. We can con? template such changes as this with great equanimity. In Ohio at the last election two amend? ments to their constitution were adopted. The whole vote cast was 743,458.- The amendment to abolish October elections was carried by an aggregate vote of 637,000, and the amendment to change the terms of township officers from one to three years received 469,000 votes. The abolition of October elections in Ohio is a good thing. John Sherman's State is not entitled to set an example to the balance of the Union. The meeting of the Legislature is near at hand, and we have been requested by those in charge of the matter to arge all persons who have prohibition petitions io their charge tosend them to Mr. A. B. Towers, in this city, at once. He wishes to send them to Columbia prompt? ly, in order that'there may be no occa? sion for delay in acting upon the matter. Those who have not already signed a petition for the election, and who favor prohibition, should do so as soon , as possible. Get your petitions signed up and send them in. Nearly all of the preachers in Atlanta have been working earnestly for prohi? bition in that city for months past, and now have the active assistance of the leading business men in the effort to ' carry Atlanta for prohibition. The vote comes off this month, and immense efforts are being made on each side. Both Senators Brown and Colquit are pronounced in favor of prohibition, and the indications point to a prohibition victory in that city. Moral reforms never go backwards. The Northern Methodists held their annual meeting in New York last week. They approved the appeal of the Freed men's Aid Society for a quarter of a million dollars a year for Christian work among the colored people. Every pastor of a church, is urged to raise his full apportionment for this cause, and churches and members of larger means are called upon to contribute with increased liberality to this work. The 8th anniversary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held. In the afternoon Bishop John M. Waiden, of Chattanooga, Teno., and in the evening Bishop Bow? man, of St. Louis, presided. The Mis? sionary Society voted to raise $1,000,000 for Missionary purposes during the coming year. The sum raised last year was over $800,000. President Cleveland has reorganized the Civil Service Commission by appoint? ing on it Messrs. Alfred P. Edgerton, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; CoL W. L. Tren holm, of Oharieston, S. O., and Mr. Dor man B. Eaton, formerly a member of the Commission. The two first are Demo? crats, aod the last a Republican. It is announced that Dir. Eaton will only serve for a short time to familiarize the new members with the duties of their office, after which he will resign and another Republican be placed in his stead. The salaries of the commission? ers is $3,500.50 per year, and no very great amount of work is required of them. We are glad to see Col. Trenholm re? ceive the appointment, and have no doubt the new Commission will prove more acceptable to the country than the one which has just gone out of office? that is, when Mr. Eaton gets off of the Commission._ The prisoners charged with the lynch? ing of 6. T. Culbreatb, in Edgefield, applied to Judge Hudson on last Monday in Columbia for bail. The State was represented by Attorney-General Miles, Solicitor Bonham and Messrs. Gary & Evans of the Edgefield bar, while the accused were represented by Messrs. Butler, & Simpkics, Sbeppard Bros., and Col. W. T. Gary of Augusta. The State relied upon the testimony before the inquest, and affidavits upon which the arrests were made, while tho defense submitted ninety-three affidavits. After an elaborate argument Judge Hudson took the papers, and the following day made an order admitting ten of the thirty-four prisoners to bail in the sum of two thousand dollars each, and for the present refused bail to the others. The ten to whom bail was granted are W. J. Talbert, W. L. McDonald, P. H. Bussey, Morgan Dorn, Arthur McDaniel, Rich? ard Hammond, W. H. Thurmond, Wyatt Seigler and E. L. Devore. The testimo? ny against these men was eo slight that the State did not object to hail for them. The evidence seems conclusive that Senator Talbert had no participation in the lynching, and only attended the public meeting which preceded it to endeavor to prevent violence, and induce 'the crowd to permit the law to take its course. The friends of the other prison? ers are disappointed at bail being denied them._ Some time ago the citizens surrounding Sheltou's, on the C. & G. R. R. petitioned the Railroad Commission to reqnire the Railroad to build a suitable depot for the public accommodation there. The petition was referred by the Commission to the Railroad with a request that they would remedy the evil complained of. Thereupon <bc Railroad reduced Shel ton's to a Hag station. The Railroad Commission investigated the matter, and made the following decision : "After a careful consideration of the information in their possession, the board decides that the box car sheds there in use are insufficient for the business of that place, and in the judgment of the Railroad Commissioners it is reasonable and expedient, in order to promote the security, convenience and accommoda? tion of the public, that a depot building or Btationhonse and passenger rooms suitable for the business and trade there should be erected and placed under a competent agent." The Commission then brought suit in the Courts to enforce their judgment, and the railroad resisted on the ground that the Commission had no such power as they claimed in this matter, and Judge Hudson, in deciding the case in favor of the railroad, said: "An examination of the railroad law of the State, including Section 1,457, satisfied me that the Railroad Commis? sion has not power to compel a railroad company to build depots nor to restrain the. conversion of a, regular station into a flag station. Such changes are so entire? ly within the discretion and control of the company that to deprive it of this power would be to rob the company of the control of its property and destroy its vitality. "No railroad corporation could live if it were compelled to erect depots and maintain stations at the discretion and command of a railroad commission. "I find no such powers conferred upon tOb board of Commissioners in Section. 1,457 of the General Statutes, nor in any other section of- that chapter. The board can suggest to a railroad company to make enlargements and improvements in stations and stationhouses, and if the same be not complied with in sixty days they may take such legal proceedings as they may deem expedient, and shall have authority to call upon the attorney general to institute and conduct such proceedings. "The powers and duties of the Railroad Commission are strictly statutory and ample enough. The Court is not at liberty to enlarge them, and until the Legislature shall prescribe an appropriate mode of legally on forcing these sugges? tions of the board of Railroad Commis? sioners this Court is pp werless to do so under any of the established powers of judgment. It is, therefore, ordered! ad? judged and decided that the complaint be dismissed." Thus another power has been taken from the Railroad Commission. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Carolina, Chicago and. Cumberland Gap Railroad, held in Aiken on the fourth inst., the various officers of the company submitted their reports, which showed the enterprise to be in a . very uncertain position with reference to its prospects of completion. President Hagood , after reviewing the history of the scheme, says : I have thus endeavored succinctly to narrate the history of our enterprise since its origin three years ago, and it seems to me that in reviewing it the con? clusions force themselves upon us: 1st. That the Construction Company has not developed the strength implied in the obligations it assumed and of itself is powerless to advance the build? ing of the road. 2d. Notwithstanding the energy, ability and fidelity with which be has labored, the financial agent, embarrassed by a long continued depression in the market for railway securities, and by the failure of the Construction Company from its own resources to complete, as was con? templated, a substantial portion of the road from Aiken Northward, has but indefinite prospects of success in his efforts to place our bonds upon the exist? ing basis of our affairs. 3d. The efforts of the present railway direction to supplement the failure of the Construction Company and to strengthen the hands of the financial agent by build? ing^ and equipping the South Carolina division of the railway at least as far as Abbeville, have not met with an adequate response from the parties most interested, to wit, the people along the line and at the practical terminus of the road in Charleston. For the scheme of construction under which we have been working I am re? sponsible to the extent that I accepted office under it after it had been adopted by the stockholders, and have continued for three years to endeavor to carry it out. Haying lost faith in its success I cannot, in justice to myself or to those whose interests are placed in my hands, continue the effort. It has had my best exertions, working within the limits prescribed, and I now, with full appreciation of the honor conferred in putting the charge of your interests in my hands, surrender the trust. The stockholders, after transacting the routine business, adopted the following preamble and resolutions: . On hearing the report of the president, ordered that the same be furnished the News and Courier, of Cbarlestion, to bo published for the information of all parties interested in the enterprise. Resolved, That this meeting take no action upon the said report, but when it adjourns, it adjonrn to meet at Aiken at 12 m. on the second Wednesday in Janu? ary next, with a view to a fuller personal attendance of stockholders, and mature action upon the subject of the important matter involved. Whereas, the following resolution of the board of directors has oeen submitted to this meeting, to wit: "That the board of directors, concurring fully in the statements made and the views expressed by the president in his report, will decline re election and submit the future of the railway thus disembarrassed to the action of the'stockholders." Resolved, That the stockholders request the president and directors to retaiu office till the adjourned meeting in January next. The company will probably have an interesting meeting in January, and we wish them brighter prospects at that time. The Rock Hill Herald says: Excepting the peace officers we do not think there is a white man in Rock Hill who carries a pistol or an unlawful knife. The greatest harmony and good will pre? vail among all our people. This happy condition of affairs is mainly attributa? ble to prohibition. While tho barrooms were open here Rock Hill was us wild a town as there was in this country. There was continual strife, drunken mobs often ran riot over the town, and the taking of human life was not at all uncommon. Prohibition brought a change four years ago and to-day the people of Rock Hill, of all classes, arc as quiet, peaceable, sober, industrious and pro-pernus as in any town in this section. Aud yet many thoughtful men fear that prohibition will not prove beneficial I here. Let us try it. ? When we arc alone wo have our thoughts to watcL?in our families our temper, and in society oar tongues. Tobacco Culture. Perry, Oconee County, S. ,0., Nov. 7. 1835. Mr. Editor : Iu your paper of the 5th inst. I see a copy of the action of the State Board of Agriculture on the culture of tobacco, which I think prom? ises to be a stimulant in the State to a very important branch of agriculture. I have been for some years getting all the information I could on the cultivation aud curing of tobacco, and this year have put it to a practical test. I planted a small crop of tobacco, have cultivated, cut and cured the same, and I can say am satisfied with the result. I find in order to succeed a number of things are necessary. First, the soil must be selected with reference to the kind of tobaccos desired to be raised, then the kind of seeds that produce the kind of tobacco wanted must be procured, and while the cultivation is not dificult, it must be done properly. The greatest difficulty the farmers will find in a crop of tobacco will be in curing it, so as to command the highest price, and compete with others in the markets. It is necessary in order to succeed that the article made should be of the best qual? ity, and if the Board of Agriculture carry out their resolutions, *t will enable the farmers to make practical tests of the matter, and some of them will fail while most of them will succeed. The building of barns suitable for the curing of tobacco and fitting them up with flues of the best kinds are some? what expensive, and it requires some capital and a good deal of energy to get the business started, but from the exper? iment which I have made this year, I am satisfied that it can be made the most paying crop raised, particularly in this Piedmont section of our State. We have the kind of soil best adapted to the cul? tivation of yellow tobacco, (and that is the kind the most profit is in.) We can make six to eight hundred pounds of tobacco on an acre of land that will average twenty-five cents per pound, and the cultivation is not more laborious or expensive than the cultivation of the same amount of cotton. But the time when the most labor is required for this crop is after the other crops are laid by, and labor is generally cheap and easy to be had, and- if properly handled will certainly pay handsome profits. You will confer a great favor on those entering this branch of agriculture to give them through the columns of your valuable paper the benefit of the infor? mation you get through your exchanges in regard to the cultivation aud curing of this important crop. W. M. W. EMIGRATING TO THE WEST. Mr. Editor : Thinking it might be of interest to many who are thinking on the subject of emigrating to the West, I give a short sketch of observations on tbo way. At St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., are very large Grand Union Depots, and in each are large spacious halls called "emigrants waiting rooms," (written above the doors.) A peep in this large hall, with its teeming mass of varied humanity, will give one an inside view of the world's discomfiture, discontent, woes and eagerness for the gold somewhere in or on the great soil of the Western frontier. I am told that every day these spacious halls are filled with very much the same class of people. There are bundles, baskets, sacks and packets of all Borts, containing eatables?sometimes a dog, cat or a chicken. There are a round dozen crying babes, nursed by au equal number of poor, care-worn and tired mothers; there is the four and Bis year old chaps roving around, some crying to "go home," others want to go to papa, (perhaps a thousand miles away); others want something to eat. Over yonder is a quiet couple caressing each other, with handkerchiefs to their eyes, whose thoughts you can plainly read are wan? dering far, far away to dear friends left behind. Occasionally a low sounding moan and long sigh is beard from the old and perhaps decrepid who will never live to grasp the gold that prompts most of this emigration. The life of this grand scene, as well as all the world at largo, is the youngsters, who seem to enjoy everything, and make up all the bright side of the scene there is. Upon the whole, the person who can take in this whole scene aud not find his eyes moistened with sympathy for the mass, "has a heart of stone." At Kansas City most of these people branch out to Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Most of this Territory I have been partly over. All the best lands have been taken up long ago, and are now in a state of high cultivation, and are worth from $8 to $50 per acre. I went up as far in South? western Kansas as tho homestead and .pre-emption claims are staked off. There is no land not taken up in less than 50 miles from a railroad, and in some places it is 200 miles from a railroad, and not a solitary thing on it except a few buffalo bones and prairie grass. It is from 100 to 250 feet down to water, and coal is worth, back at the railroad, from 2U to 40 cents per bushel in extreme cases. How these settlers expect to live through the Winter I cannot see. To begin with, they have to dig perhaps 200 feet for water, and haul their lumber aud coal in some cases 250 miles. There have been and are yet to be seen a great many sod houses, that have within them a surpris? ing degree of comfort, happiness and cheerfulness. Think of treading over the prairie, and all at once hear the sweet voice of a young girl singing to an accompaniment of a nice organ, and when you find her she is in a sod house with a roof perhaps of long prairie "slew grass.'' All the original "buffalo grass" is fast giving away to a kind of fine, small sedge grass, called here "blue stem," their sole depeadence for hay, that we would call next to nothing as a feed. I notice that the native horse stock have to fill their stomach so full of this inferior hay in order to got the required nourishment to sustain life, that they are out of cred? itable shape ; their paunches are cut out on either side down underneath, and their backbone is actually bowed up, all to give room for the baru of coarse hay that had to be carried to sustain life. I noticed our native team traveled over the prairie fast and in good style, except the cow movement of their hind legs that were "kinder" thrown wide out in order to prevent striking their big stomach. Some ten or twelve years ago this whole country was covered almost at times with buffalo, and all the changes one has from the monotonous plains ou every side, perhaps hundreds of miles, is an occasional dried carcass of a starved or frozen cow of last winter's victim, a pile of buffalo bones, and every now aud then a "buffalo wallow." This is a hole in the ground, something on the order of a hog wallow, only very much larger and deeper, and dug out by the pawiug and wallowing of the buffaloes. All of this whole prairio country has the appearance of extremes. When it is hot I am told it is extremely hot, and when it is cold it is extremely cold, and the same is said of rain and droughts. I saw "Medicine Lodge," the bottom where eight emi? grants were drowned last Spriug, by a water-spout coming on them without warning. Every now and then we could see from three to u dozen "prairie schooners," (covered emigrant \v;igoiiH,) moviug slowly along to the frontier ; but my honest couvictiuus arc that they will | surely earn all they may accomplish at the front, and they all deserve a small fortune, at least, to compensate them for ' their trials, tribulations and brave efforts to grasp the goal and black dirt of the frontier. I came back down near the Indian Territory line, ami saw a gre?t many of Capt . Couch's Boomers, and some of them were thou moving over to make another effort to settle Oclahoma. The people here aro very confident that Congress will surely open up this coun? try to settlement when it meets, and full twenty thousand families are now ready to move on to it at a moments warning. J. C. Stkibling. OUR NEW YORK LETTER, [From our Regular CorrtspoudciU.] New York, Nov. 7, 1S85. The season which has just closed has been one of the most remarkable for horse-racing that we have had for many years ; not so much for the superior character of the horses as the great num? bers of all sorts of people that have at? tended them. Pool selling is forbidden by law, but pools have been sold on every race since the commencement of the sea? son ; not blacklegs and professional gamblers only have put up their money on the result, but fine ladies have been seen day after day staking huudreds and hundreds on the races. Now, when I say fine ladies I mean it; I do not mean the questionable consorts of sporting men, who wear fine diamonds, rich silks, cost? ly furs, and camel's hair shawls, but re? spectable wives and honored mothers, who have attended the races every day this season rain or shine. When the races opened at Sheepshead Bay early in the Spring, a lady and her daughter ap? peared on the Grand Stand. There was nothing loud or unbecoming about them ; they made no acquaintances, male or female; they conducted themselves with the most perfect propriety, but they would bet their money on the races. Both mother and daughter had a book, and each made it up after a careful re? view of the boraes. They never seemed to exchange notes, but each played a lone hand on her own judgment. Losses were paid with the coolness of an ice? berg, and winuiugs were raked iu with a nonchalance that would have moved the heart of Sir Charles Coldstream with envy. At Jerome Park, where Croesus scatters his gold upon the turf, these two women were the observed of all obser? vers, and that is saying a great deal, for on the Grand Stand at Jerome Park, may be seen on any good racing day, much of the beauty and fashion of which New York boasts. There were many races this season when the rain fell and the^wind blew, and none but the tough eat old sport could face the weather; but every day from first to last Mrs. L. and her blooming daughter were there, and they occupied their favorite seats on the front in the middle of the Grand Stand the last racing day. r could learn noth ing about them, except that they were \ from the South?that they occupied mag I nificent apartments iu a splendid uptown flat?that they had lots of money and no acquaintances, and were passionately fond of good horses. A sharp bookmaker told me that the old lady had bagged about fifteen thousand dollars, and the daughter about five. One afternoon I saw a bdy take off her magnificent diamond brooch, earrings, and finger rings, to bet on a race. Fortu? nately for her she won, and walked off with a thousand dollars. We are fond of moralizing on our splendid advantages and our superior civilization. We deprecate a Spanish Bullfight, and we execrate and condemn the Gladiatorial slaughters of the Ro? mans. We wonder that any race of men and women could ever have existed with nerves of steel and hearts of stone, and who could sit by and see a fellow crea? ture slaughtered without, a quiver. Yet only a week ago there was a spleudid company at Jerome Park? beauty, fash? ion and wealth were there. On the turf amid the fashionable equipages might be seen the gay turnouts of five or six well known preachers, who never take du&t on the boulevard from anything under 2:25. The day was damp and cloudy, and the course heavy aud wet; these however, were only mere incidents, and were weighed with regard to the betting. The jockeys are all mounted, and a gal? lant looking crow they were on their an? imals, lank as greyhounds with hides like burnished gold. Everything is at fever heat, the horses champ and feel as if eager to be off, and the sharp eyed youngsters on their backs are watching every chance for an opening. The flag is dropped and away they sweep like lightning. In all of that wild excited throng there is not one that thinks of danger, all are bent on victory?behind that victory are the loud shouts of ap- j plauding thousands and yellow shining gold. Men and women are worked to a phrenzy of madness. On they sweep j and now they are at the turn?then comes a wild cry of pain, and in an in stant a dozen horses and riders are on j the ground rolling over and over in mad confusion. The winners hurry on to the Grand Stand, and dash under the string, while the shouts of the crazed throng | rend the air. On the far side of the track lay six mangled wretches, one already dead, and some of the others dying. The rough friends of the dead jockey (a fair haired little fellow) bore him tenderly to the stable, and laid him j on the straw, but his young life has gone out for the amusement of the fine ladies and gentlemen who fill the Grand Stand, and the blacklegs and sporting men who are now loudly calling for the second race. Few, if any think of the dead and mangled boys lying on the stablo floor; sacrificed, unthinkingly as over Gladiator waB butchered to grace a Ro? man holiday. Several jockeys have been killed at Jerome Park aud Sheepshead Bay this season, and a number wounded ; but be it recorded to the honor of our ex? alted civilization, that the death or wounding of a jockey, or the broken neck or limbs of a horse, has never stopped a race. Let us moralize no more on Spanish Bullfights or Roman holidays, The art season is upon us again. The artists who havo been sketching in the mountains and the valleys arc back home with their portfolios full, and some of the new canvasses are of surpassing merit. The exhibition of water colors at tho rooms of the Society of Fine Arts on 23rd Street, ia the best water color exhibition that we have had ia New York; we are alBo making wonderful progress in black and white. It is only a few years since the first attempt at anything of this kind worth mentioning was inaugurated by tho Salmagundi Club; since then it has improved won? derfully till some of these pen and ink and crayon sketches are equal to a line engraving. I must take an early oppor? tunity to give a more critical review of the beautiful water color exhibition of this year. Among the novel modes of advertising, I saw a man sealed on the top of a house on one of our leading thoroughfares; he was equipped as a fisherman with an oilskin coat, a souwester and a ffcbiug rod. There he sat fishing or: the roof, while thousands stood gazing on the street below. Every few minutes ho caught a fish tu the intense delight of the people in the street'. It was tho ad? vertisement of a catidy store, and was an immense success, and crowded the storo with purchasers of randy. Passing tho same place a few days later, tho fisher? man was clad in a light blue millitary overcoat, and had with him on tho roof a file of men in India rubber coats with hoods over (heir head-, and as he put tbem through their drill, whichever way they wheelid h"d turned ibt;y were la- i beled "candy, candy." Aa a result, hun? dreds rushed in to buy candy, who would never have realized the truth of the old adage, "one foul nial.c many." An old game has been revived litre j during the week which has resulted 'fl | serious loss. It is generally practiced ' during the early hours of the evening. The immense plates of glass now used for store windows, on account of their thickness were supposed to be a protec? tion for good.:; but our adroit thieves have got the belter of them. They se? lect a window richly filled with jewelry. A short distance from the scene of the robbery they have a butcher's cart with a man in, all ready to drive off. Two thieves march up to the front of the store, and each has a large cobble stone under his coat. Thief No. 1. dashes his stone through the window, and thief No. 2. holds his stone in reserve, while No. 1 grabB a tray of goods, and both hurry off to the cart which is driven off on the in? stant. This has been done many times on our most public thoroughfares, and strange to say few of the robbers are caught, and not a tithe of the goods' re? covered. On election night the windows of the beautiful new store of Wechsler Brothers of Brooklyn, were broken in this way?several pieces of silk were stolen, and the loss in glass was not far from $1000. We have had a wintry warning, election day was cold as Green? land, and politicans shivered in their ahoes as they shouted for Davenport and Carr or Hill and Jones ; as all the sa? loons were closed they had to take pro? hibition comfort, till the sun went down, when they entered the Land of Promise. Yours truly, Broadbrim. " WANTED! E iVERYBODY to know that we keep in Stock the best selection of Confection erics, Fancy Groceries, Canned Goods, Tobacco.
