T? .the Citizens oe Anderson
./Gousrnr: The proceedings of the meet
*;;log at Slabtown, which are published in
' another column, are so disrespectful in
v their nature, and so evidently influenced
^r^-rnore. than the exercise of the right of
. legitimate criticism, that I should not feel
called npon to answer them at all, if it
?>were not that in order to reach me, they
,"i have included in their action the mem
i>Jbers ofthe Honse of Representatives. I
|i;?eflire to state to the public that I am
^responsible for the introduction of the
ycBiU to provide a more efficient system
^Vof working; the public roads in Anderson
jE^nhty,And in introducing it I thought,
. . ind-still think, I was serving the best
? interests of my constituents. I knew
%that the new law was likely to meet with
jipppoaition, -but have been pleased to
^find the measure approved by many of
poor most thoughtful citizens. I know it
been disapproved by some of ray
^friends, which, of course, I regret, for I
g&lways ?value their opinion, and regret to
_?t&e'.'>:different view from them, .upon
^any question, bat; I must say that such
^?criticism as comes from the Slabtown
vmeelirig has no effect npon me, for its
^Vown intemperance is its best answer. It
rather amuses me than otherwise, for th e
resolntiori as to misplaced suffrages mast
^jrarely have been intended as a joke, the
^^?porta of the election last Summer show
;that I only received 19 votes oat of a
??total of 128 in the first election, and did
Vfpbt get many more in the second. I
U^have not, however, retained any of .the
^ Bitterness of that fight, and am" sorry
||rJofc to have succeeded in pleasing thpse
l^m^ns aboot Slabtown who misplaced
ll^-eir:suffrages last. Summer. I would,
^however, suggest to them that they have
v^^deirmed ns on this, matter without a
:j^eajrlng.,They did not even have the
^^ila^.tiie'-Jct/ttey criticise, and have
.^^?riiaced:;?iie whole thing without giv?
;;-;iog'a:sirigIe>eason. I was not seeking
^^plause, bat was trying to benefit the
^I^ploof bar County, by improving the
,^r^8. v I would be obliged to those who
|??J?severely criticise this law if they
0"would put thensselves in the position of
^?trying to build op instead of tear down,
gV^d-^h?e they criticise tell us what to
i|?<?o, to secure good roads. I and the Rep
; .-'-rsaentatives only want to do what, is best
;^&r^the^Obanty, and if any person will
^'gire?us a better system, I will assure
5 v-hem^we will adopt it, if if is practicable.
This, is uoAjijaew plan of working the
? roads, for while a member of the House
^p^Kepresentatives in 1883, I secured the
^passage of a bill through the Honse sub*
? stiuitially the same as the present law,
0?TOtti;the exception of the tax of one
fourth of one mill for permanent im
^^poyements. In doing this I published
pth> fact in a letter from Colombia,
l^which appeared in 'the Intelligencer
?:?[ of December 20th, 1888, in which I spoke
of the proposed law as folllows:
Mr. Murray has also introduced a bill
? to provide for working the roads in An
-dersonfrCOarity. It provides that the
- roads shalV^fe arched to the center, with
c^flrwns on'each -.side for the water, and
%rock drains not less than six feet wide for
^water-ways wherever water has to cross a
Trpur>lie Toad. It also requires at least
' eight days work to be done, unless the
. ;roads are put in thorough repair in a
: ^ flhorter^ri^ allows them to go to
fijipU.Qdays. It also requires nine hoars
?;:0f actaal work for a day. It requires
.the persona appointed Superintendent
. and Overseer to serve one year, and
?} . imposes penalties for failure to perform
their duties. In addition to this the bill
- proposes to levy each year a special tax
of one-half of one mill to bnild rock cul
'verts- and macadamize low and boggy
places. The baianca of the delegation
. are opposed to the tax feature, and while
Mr. Murray believes it would be of per?
manent benefit to the County, be will
not press the tax feature, but will try to
secure the passage of the balance of the
bill.; It will be a great improvement on
the present law..
^ Thiabill was approved by many citi
?pens to whom we spoke concerning it.
KT/he Grand Juries censored bad roads,
Rind the people clamored for good roads,
pBo that the Representatives thought they
."; were in earnest. The present complaints
I against this law remind ns bf the old
Massachusetts deacon who used to go out
by the side of a stone wall to pray every
- day, and after telling his Maker what a
good man he was, would wind up by
^asking the Lord if he had everjiojie.ajBj&#.
thing wrong to^us^iby-^rairto fall on
. him as ja^-gv^ofenc8 0f ?j8 8ia,- Some
TTOy^&ndingont this peculiarity, one day
pushed some.rock on the deacon, where
-apbu he jumped up aud exclaimed, "Oh,
Lord, can't I say a thing in fan without
you'taking me to be in earnest," The
' only trouble is, that when the people
clamored for good roads, the Representa
' lives took them to be in earnest. We
' : thought, and still think, we were doing
^ a good thing for the County.
Respectfully,
E. B. Murray.
The Athens (Ga.) Banner, says: "Dr.
Steifer, of Greenville, S. C, who has jost
moved here for the purpose of educating
- his children, says that the intermarriage
of the lower class of whites with negroes
is a common occurrence in Sooth Caro?
lina, and nobody thinks anything of it.
Miscegenation is allowed under the laws
. of that State, and it threatens soon-to
pi-oduce a mo-grel population. This is
certainly a horrible disclosure." This
paragraph is parading through many
newspapers oat of the State, and has
__een vigorously denied by South Caro?
lina papers. There is not one particle of
foundation for the statement. Miscege?
nation is not allowed, under the laws of
. thi&State. By reference to the Acts of
18*79, or to the General Statutes of 1882,
it will be seen that the intermarriage of
races, including the Indian, is prohibited
- in thif State. Such pretended marriages
are utterly void by the law, and the par?
ties attempting to contract them are
punishable by imprisonment in the Pen?
itentiary. This law may be violated
some times, just as all other laws are
sometimes violated, bat the parties are
vigorously prosecuted and punished.
? : Xhe-custom, so far from being a common
one,: is very, rare, indeed, the said Dr.
+ Steifer to the contrary notwithstanding.
By the way, it is said that Dr. Steifer is
one of that class of men who seems to be
constituted as to say exactly the opposite
of what they ought to mean. Persons
. ^acquainted with the peculiarity of the
lector, have given to this paragraph the
tordin?.ry construction, but as it emanated
K)'m an extraordinary man, they have
__?ott?n it exactly wrong. J
AN ANGRY RELIGIOUS PAPER,
These who have read the editorial in
the Baptist Courier last week, replying
to the Intelligencer on tho subject of
its strictures on the late election iu An?
derson upon the prohibition question,
will see that its Editor is not a holiness
man, either in theory or practice, for he
was certainly a long way off from sancti?
fies tion headquarters when the article in
question was written, for in it the amount
of anger and personal feeliug evinced is
remarkable for a religious paper. In our
article we did not transgress the usual
limits of legitimate controversy, and we
made no personal allusion whatever.
The Courier has drawn entirely on its
imagination for the idea that tbe Intel?
ligences was cither irritated or chafed
by its article, and in describing our
feelings last week it has only mirrored
its own state of mind. In fact, the Cou?
rier reminds us of the little New Hamp?
shire boy who bad been raised in tbe
mountains until he was a good sized lad,
when his mother told him he could go
into the city at the foot of the range
npon which they lived. With this per?
mission the lad, wiih bare feet and unkept
hair and garments, from which many
kites floated in the breezes as he trotted
along on his journey, scon reached
the city, and with tbat curious gaze
which characterizes the boy among
strange things, continued along tbe bust?
ling street until he came to one of those
stores which had a large, handsome
mirror near the front door. Tbe boy
stopped and looked an instant, and then
turning he sought bis mountain home,
where such a thing as a mirror had never
existed, with all his speed, and upon
reaching his mother's presence exclaim?
ed, "Oh, mammy, I have seen the devil."
He had seen himself. So our friend, the
?ntrier, has only analyzed its own feel?
ings, and has mistaken them for ours.
The Courier begins its tirade upon us
by saying tbat it was through the advice
of the Editor of tbe Jftelligencer
that State registration tickets were re?
quired in tbe late City election, when it
has already been informed that tbe fact
is the chairman of the prohibition com?
mittee called upon Mr. E. B. Murray and
asked him to examine the law carefully,
and give him an opinion as to who were
entitled to vote in the election which was
then pending. This Mr. Murray did,
and gave it as his legal opinion that only
citizens who have resided in the City for
six months .preceding the clectiorf, and
are qualified to vote for members of the
General Assembly, and who . register
their names with the City Clerk, are en?
titled to vote in Anderson. He did not
advise the adoption of this opinion,
though he did approve of it. The pro?
hibitionists did not seek the sentiment of
any class in the City except the qualified
electors in this election, and they hare
never sought to prevent a qualified elec?
tor from voting, and the Baptist Courier's
statement that the will of the electors
was not ascertained is nothing more than
the assertion of a legal proposition, in
which his law may not be correct. The
petition of the prohibitionists was, tbat
an election be submitted to tbe qualified
electors, and this was done, in the opin?
ion of a number of tbe leading lawyers
of this city.
But the Courier tays the registration
law is a dead letter, and is only enforced
in certain localities. Of course there
are many irregularities in elections, but
our observation is that the law is far from
being a dead letter; In the city election
we had every reason to believe tbat tbe
matter would go .into the courts if the
city went dry, and we preferred to go
there according to law rather than
against law. It was tuspected that tbe
saloon keepers would, if possible, set
the election aside, and this suspicion
was the occasion of tbe investigation of
the matter, and of tbe enforcement of
the law. Because we enforce the law
the Baptist Courier and the saloons
oppoBe us, and if we had not enforced it
the saloons and the Courts would have
opposed os. In most instances we like
to have tbe Courier on our side, but just
now we would rather let the saloons
have ihe\Bapiist Courier with them, and
try to get the Courts with us. Tbe
Courier takes a remarkable position in
advocating the disregard of law, even in
this respect.' Does the Courier know
that three men have to swear before High
Heaven upon the Holy Evangels tbat
they will fairly and impartially couduct
that election according to law. We
think it is a remarkable utterance for a
religious newspaper to seriously advise,
that men sworn under, "law may
ignorethj-?awr^iiey have sworn to obey,
_aPr4^ub7titute what they think a more
convenient custom.
We know, as a student to some extent
of history, that wrongs have been perpe?
trated under the forms of law, but we
also know tbat a great many more griev?
ous wrongs have been perpetrated by its
violation. It has become a fireside
proverb tbat the best way to correct a
bad law is to enforce it. We are in
favor of tbe fullest expression of opinion
on the prohibition question, and in
framing tbe Anderson and Laurens bill
provided specially to secure it, but, at
the same time, as a lawyer we know tbat
there is nothing more uncertain than to
risk the violation of law and expect to
sustain your action by saying it bad been
violated before. Hence we think the
prohibitionists were right to follow the
law, though we do not doubt tbat tbe
election could have been carried eitber
way. Tbe fact tbat a light vote was
polled, only indicates a feeling of cer?
tainty on the part of the winning partya
All who could register did not do so, and
all who registered did not vote, for they
did not think it worth while to take the
trouble. Tbe last city election only
polled 128 votes, when no State registra?
tion was required, becanse it was a fore?
gone conclusion as to bow tbe election
i would retult.
j The Courier says tbat ill-advised meih
[ ods and manipulations in elections hurt
tbe prohibition cause, and this is true
but we can tell the Courier what hurts
them equally as badly, and that is tbe
misrepresentation of tbe prohibition
methods. Io its first article it disap?
proved of the methods by which Ander?
son was carried dry. It did not say
what those methods were, but one could
have suspected ballot box stuffing, riot
or bribery, or any of the evils which
creep into elections at times. It con?
demned the methods, and when
called on gave as its only objection the
fact that the prohibitionists claim the
right to have the law of the State en?
forced. The Courier was, therefore,
vague and inaccurate in a general con?
demnation of the methods, If it had
stated the facts fairly we should not
have Baid one word, but its generaliza?
tion was liable to misconstruction. By
the way, the Courier, in its first article)
spoke rather disparagingly of the whole
prohibition businefs?oot in plain words
bat by stroDg implication. It wtid in
substance that Anderson begins tbe trial
of prohibition as thei.cities of Spartan
burg and Lanreus give it up after trying
it two years, and that it would watch
with interest tbe course of events in
Anderson. Now, it is easy to say that
this is good prohibition doctrine, and all
that, but tbe trouble is, that it is equally
as easy for tbe other side to claim the
Courier as opposed to prohibition. It
tells us, however, that it belonged to tbe
great prohibition army. Theoretically,
tbe paper does advocate prohibition, but
its influence in this direction is not prac?
tical when it criticises generally without
giving the facts.
The Courier complains that it is liable
to be misrepresented, but it must bear in
mind that other papers can also be mis?
represented. We have published both
our own and the Courier's articles, while
tbe Courier has not published ours at all.
Will it be equally fair with us ?
The information that the Courier will
keep its own conscience is gratifying to
its friends. We were really afraid that
our contemporary had lost its conscience.
It has certainly given great pleasure to
the bar rooms and anti prohibitionists by
its late articles, and we are satisfied that
if it will keep its own conscience, and
be governed by its dictates, we shall ex?
pect to see it deal more fairly by the
prohibilioniats.
The railroad situation these days is
like the kaleidoscope, ever ready to
change at any turn, and all calculations
and predictions concerning railroads are
like the Signal Service predictions, good
for one day only. It was but a short
time>go that tbe West Point Terminal
Company was regarded as a used up con?
cern, when suddenly the tables were
turned, and the Richmond & Danville
system, which had apparently effectually
scooped up the Terminal, was itself
scooped up by the Terminal. This was
quickly followed by ousting the former
management of the Georgia Central sys?
tem, and placing it in hands at last
friendly to the Terminal Company, if no
closer relation exists. Last week it was
announced that this company, which
Beeuas to have gone permanently into the
scooping business, had swallowed up the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system, with its lines running from Vir?
ginia through Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama, with roads connecting Knox
ville, Chattanooga, Atlanta,' und Bir?
mingham. This makes tbe Terminal
Company practically solid in Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina,
with powerful lines in Georgia, Tennes?
see aud Alabama. A Chattanooga dis?
patch says: "The scoop leaves tbe Nor?
folk and Western bottled up at Bristol,
and already an order has'been issued that
all freight from the South and West
should be sent via Morriaton and Ashe
ville, instead of by Bristol, as heretofore.
The Norfolk and Western, it is thought,
will unite with/the Baltimore and Ohio
to build a new line through East Tennes?
see to make western and southern con?
nections at Chattanooga, and will hasten
the building of tbe Tennessee Midland,
from Bristol to Memphis, Tennessee, a
line diagonally through the State. The
effect of the scoop will also be to cause
the immediate extension of the Memphis
and Charleston from Stevenson to Chat?
tanooga." It is more probable tbat the
Terminal Company will move to make
tbe scoop unanimous by taking these
lonely little lines of road in out of tbe
cold. In addition_tj this, it is now
asserted tbat the Terminal is arranging
to lease the groat Central system, in
order not only to have its friendly con?
duct of business, but to have the com?
plete direction and control of tbe system.
It is true that these reports are denied,
but Central stock is unusually active in
the market, and the probability is, that
some new movement is contemplated.
Just what it is to be, time only can tell,
for with railroads it is eminently true,
that it is always the unexpected that bap
pens.
The coutest over the Lieutenaut-Gov"
ernorship in Indiana has been decided
by the Circuit Court in favor of the
right of Senator Smith to preside over
that body as President pro tempore, and
against the Republicau candidate, Rob?
ertson, who was elected Lieuteuant-Gov
ernor last fall, on the ground that there
was no vacancy, the Presidentc^yorte??
7>?>rfism:cee^U2^tite^p?tition upon the
dearth "or inability of the Lieut.-Governor.
The effect of this decision was. expected
to lead to a fight over the United States
SenaUorship. The Republican caucus
renominated Senator Harrison, while
the Democratic caucus nominated Judge
Turpe. The Republican majority in the
House were unwilling to concede that
they were entirely wrong, or to turn the
joint assembly over to Senator Smith, so
that a compromise was effected between
the House and the Senate by which
Senator Smith presides, but tbe Speaker
of tbe House holds the gavel. The
election has begun, and a number of
ballots have been taken, on the last of
four or five of which the vote stands,
Turpe, 75; Harrison, 71; Allen, 4. The
Legislatuie is now taking but one ballot
a day, and the election is uncertain. The
Democrats have a majority, but there are
some members of the party who will not
vote lor Judge Turpe.
The Winnsboro News and Herald gives
the following advice to the farmers of
Anderson County:
"Beware I?We notice that 'our old
friend' Mr. W. W. Russell, of Green?
back fame, has been taking quite an
active interest in Anderson politics. It
would be well for our brethren over the
river to keep 'wake eye' on him, as he is
as tricky as a fox. Lookout that you
don't find htm a spy in the camp."
Mr. Russell's peculiar position on
some matters before the Farmers' Con?
vention savors strongly of politics, and
doubtless gave rise to the warning con?
tained in this extract. Mr. Russell is
always found fighting the leaders of the
Democratic party, and criticising its
actions. He is almost too unanimously
ready to criticise to he entirely disinter?
ested.
Algernon S. Paddock, who has just
defeated United Stales Senator Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, returns to the Senate
after an absence of six years. He was
a member of tbat body from 18G5 to 1881
when be was succeeded by Charles H.
Van Wyck, whom he now replaces.
Senator Van Wyck was known in the
Senate as "Old Crazy Horse," and has
been tbe source of much amusement dur?
ing his term in the Senate, and he was
always willing and ready to strike bard
blowB at railroad corporations. The lat?
ter were instrumental in defeating him,
so it is said.
The DemccrnN of Pennsylvania ere
evidently under scrub politicians, for
they have recently elected Mr. DallaB
Saunders, of Philadelphia, Chairman of
tbe State Executive Committee. The
Philadelphia Times says of him: "Dal?
las Sanders has had a large and varied
experience in defeat, which qualifies him
in an eminent degree for the chairman?
ship of the Democratic State Committee.
He has other qualifications besides. He
is a good organizer, a patient worker, an
intelligentaud well-informed gentleman,
whose Democracy is genuine and whose
mental vision is not limited j# nairow
partisan prejudices. If the Democrats
of Pennsylvania want to move forward,
Sanders will make them a good leader."
Mr. Dallas Saunders is the Democrat
who camo to South Carolina a few yeara
ago to prosecute Democrats in the United
States Courts for alleged election frauds.
Mr. Saunders loft us his mental measure
in his efforts in those trials, and our
people recognize him as a veritablo lilli
putian, so far as ability goes. As the
Times says, "if the Democrats of Penn?
sylvania want to move forward Saunders
will make them a good leader," but tbe
forward movement will ho to another
inglorious defeat.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 24,1887.?
For several days past the Senate cham?
ber bas bad an res the tic air imparted to
its quiet, sombre atmosphere by many
floral tributes placed by admiring and
congratulating friends upon the desks of
fortunate recipients of renewed legisla?
tive honors. Tbe desks of Senators
Cockrell and Dawea have been enveloped
in cut flowers of Ihe rarest species, and
the friends of other Senators are anx?
iously waiting for the opportunity to
manifest their joy in a similar way.
Tbe Senate tbe week past devoted the
best part of two days to the discussion of
the Hawaiian treaty, and this week will
devote some time to discussing Senator
Blair's bill to amend the Constitution so
as to confer tbe right of suffrage upon
women. The bill is not likely to pass
this session, but will probably reach a
vote in tbe Senate, and between the lines
of the vote thus recorded tbe active toil?
ers in the cause will be able to read tbe
progress they are making, and judge of
the nearness of the day when their foad
hopes will be realized. The speeches
delivered on the subject will prove inter?
esting aud instructive reading for many
a family fireside, and all families desir?
ing to keep apace with the limes would
do well to write to their Representative
or Senator for a copy of tbe speeches
which will be printed in full in tbe Con.
greesional Record. This paper is printed
at the Government Printing Office, and
your Representative will be glad to mail
you a copy as it costs him nothing.
At no time since the trial of Guileau
has tbe Court House been so crowded as
during the past week?at the sessions of
the jury inquiring into the sanity of Mrs.
Emmons, tbe wife of Prof. Emmens.
The hueband, who is a man of wealth, is
endeavoring to have the wife placed in a
lunatic asylum on the charge of insanity.
It seems that tbe wife is unusually
bright and self willed, and as not unusual
in such cases, rather cranky or eccentric,
and tbe husband not to be annoyed by
her eccentricities wishes her incarcerated
in a madhouse. Tbo parties are well
known in society circles, and as a conse?
quence immense crowds have been
attracted to tbe court room. Women,
young and older, dressed in silks, laces,
and seal skins, are at the court house
door by 9 o'clock in the morning with
lunch under their wraps, to make sure of
getting inside the temple of justice.
Hundreds are turned away daily, aod
those who are fortunate enough to get
inside are loud iu their demonstrations of
sympathy for the wife, and manifest tbe
same by cheering lustily when evidenca
favorable to her is given, and hissing the
husband when he appears, and groaning
when bis counsel ask questions not meet?
ing the approval of tbe audience. The
excitement bas ruu so high at times that
women have stood upou tbe moulding to
the wainscoating about tbe room, and
clung to tbe gas-Gxturcs so as to glare
into the faces of all engaged in the trial.
"If there is such a thing as a jury being
influenced by public clamor, the wife will
be adjudged not to be a lunatic.. - ~~
The Presideut is in^teceipt of an an?
tique cb^ P. C. Goodwin,
-of Bbiitou. It is over four feet high and
three feet broad, and of elegant work?
manship. A covering was Bent with it
made of silk aud velvet patchwork,
which bas in it over 25,000 pieces. Tbe
chair has been sent out to Oak View,
and the President acknowledged it by an
autograph letter.
The President's first State dinner on
Thursday night was very elaborate in all
its details, and covers were laid for
thirty-two gue3ts. Among the wives of
the Cabinet officers present was Mrs.
Lamar, it being her first appearance at
an official or social gathering since her
arrival in Washington. Governor Fitz
hngh Lee, of Virginia, and wife were
also present. It is the first time in
many years that a governor and his wife
have been present at a State dinner, but
the old Commonwealth is so close to the
Capital, and its people so sociable tbat it
is probable that the present governor will
be found present at many official recep?
tions in Washington. H.
Asleep on the Locomotive.
Tiffin, Ohio, January 19.?The Bal?
timore and Obio came very near having
another fearful wreck at Republic early
this morning. An East bound freight
train thundered past tbe depot when the
limited express was almost due, and the
operator stopped it only by hurling a
large stone through tbe window of the
caboose, awakening tbe engineer, who
managed to stop the train and back on
to the siding just one minute before train
No. 5 rushed past.
These were identically the same num?
bered trains that caused the other collis?
ion. The engineer had been on duly
nearly twenty hours, and did not see the
danger signal at tbe station.
? James Martin, a farmer of Laurens
County, was attacked by a vicious Jersey
bull a few days ago and was thrice tossed
high in the air. As be fell the third
time he was so stunned he could make
no effort to rise, and the infuriated ani?
mal was proceeding to gore him to death.
Just at that critical moment a shepherd
dog arrived upon the scene, made a fu?
rious attack on tbe bull and frightened
him away.

unanimous vote, have agreed to a bonded
debt often thousand dollars in aid of the

The Iuter-Statc Bill.
Washington, Jan. 21.?The Inter?
state bill, as agreed upon by both Houses
of Congress, in its first section, applies
the provisions of the act to any common
carrier engaged in the transportation of
passengers wholly by railroad, or partly
by railroad and partly by water, when
both are used under common control,
management or arrangement, through
more than one State or Territory, or from
any place in the United Spates to an ad?
jacent foreign country. It defines "rail?
road" to include all bridges and ferries
used or operated by any railroad.
All charges made for any service ren?
dered in the transportation of passengers
or property shall be reasonable and just,
and every unjust and unreasonable charge
for such service is prohibited and de?
clared to be unlawful.
Section two makes it unlawful for any
common carrier, subject to the provisions
of this act, to charge, demand, collect or
receive directly or indirectly from any
person or persons a greater or less com?
pensation for any service rendered in the
transportation of passeugers or property
than it charges, demands, collects or re?
ceives from any other person or persons
for doing for him or them a like and con?
temporaneous service in the transporta?
tion of like kiud of traffic under sub?
stantially similar circumstances and con?
ditions.
Section three makes it unlawful for
any common carrier, subject to the pro?
visions of this act, to make or give any
undue or unreasonable preference or ad?
vantage to any particular person, com?
pany, firm, corporation or locality, or
any particular description of traffic.
Every common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act shall, according to
their respective powers, afford all reason?
able, proper and equal facilities for the
interchange of traffic between their re?
spective lines, and for the receiving, for?
warding and delivering of passengers
and property to and from their separate
line and those connecting therewith, and
shall not discriminate in their rates and
charges between such connecting lines.
Sections four and five (long and short
haul and pooling sections) areas follows:
Section Four?That it Bhall be unlaw?
ful for any common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act to charge or receive
any greater compensation in the aggre?
gate for the transportation of passengers
or of a like kind of property under sub?
stantially similar circumstances and con?
ditions, for a shorter than for a longer
distance over the same line in the same

mon carrier, within the term of this act,
to charge and receive as great a compen?
sation for a shorter as for a longer dis?
tance : Provided, however, that upon
application to the commission appointed
under the provisions of this act such
common carrier may, in special cases
after investigation by the commission, be

between them the aggregate or net pro?

ratest" olher places beyond the lines of
their several railroads. It also provides
that rates, fares and charges shall cot be
raised except after ten days of public

A Cotton Principality.
Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., the inventor of
the Cotton Harvester, was in the city yes?
terday, and was at the Charleston Hotel.
Mr. Mason baa just returned from au ex?
tended trip to the Mississippi Valley,
where he had gone with a view of making
observations aa to the exteut aud charac?
ter of cotton-growing and picking in that
famous and favored region. Primarily,
Mr. Mason's object was to ascertain
whether he could adapt his Cottou Har?
vester to tbe class of cottou grown in that
section.
Ttep .rticular section visited by Mr.
Mason was Greeuville. iu the northern
part of the Mississippi Valley. Near that
place is located tbe plantation?or rather
plantations?of Major James S. Richard
son. Mr. Mason said that Major Rich?
ardson, whose place he visited by special
invitation, received him with the utmost
courtesy and kindness and spared no pains
to make his stay both pleasant and pro?
fitable. The area of land planted in cot?
ton by Major Richardson, Mr. Maaon
said, is the largest cultivated by any sin?
gle planter in the world. The plantations
begin at a Hue about five milea from
Greenville nnd extend along the river, in
varying breadth for a distance of about
twenty miles. The territory under cul?
tivation last year was about 24,000 acres,
which will, it ia expected, be increased
this year to about 30,000 acres.
Apart from the interest fouud in so
exteuaive a domain, Mr. Maaon said that
he waa struck with the system under
which its vaat operations are conducted.
The organization of the plantations is
complete in every detail. Every process
can be inspected from the planting of the
seed to the weaving of the cotton fabric.
On tbe place there are cottou seed oil
mills, cotton compresses, cotton gins, a
cotton factory, and furnaces for the burn?
ing of the cotton seed hulls. &c. Each of
the several plantations which make up
Major Richardson's estate has upon it a
sufficiently large store for tbe convenience
of the employees on each sub division.
The stores are connected by telephone.
Each plantation is in charge of an over?
seer, who is responsible to a general
superintendeut, whose residence has tele?
graphic communication with Now Or?
leans.
Mr. Mason said that, notwithstanding
the vast extent of the industry carried on
by Major Richardson, he used very little
improved machinery. This was the more
impressed upon Mr. Mason from his
knowledge that Major Richardson is re?
garded as a progressive and enterprising
planter. Major Richardson said that the
reason for bis adherence to tbe old methods
was that it was impossible to pick all tbe
cotton that matured. The region was
wonderfully fertile; uo fertilizer is need?
ed, and therefore, none is used, and the
cotton plant attains a luxuriant growth.
If he used improved agricultural ma?
chinery he would be obliged to release a
large proportion of his laborers, and this
very fact would be a fatal embarrassment
in the picking season. To make tbe
necessary number of pickers available at
the required time he was, therefore, oblig
ed to resort to the expedieucy of keeping
them engaged on tbe plantation through?
out the season, which really necessitated
the employment of nearly double the
number of hands actually needed. Tbe
capacity of such a plantation was, in fact,
only limited by the ability to pick its
products.
Mr. Mason said tbat he had gone
through miles of plantations, which nom?
inally had been "picked," but which, to
his notion, hud really not been picked
at all. Tbe, ground was strewn with cot?
ton, which will be turned under by the
plough when the next crop is put in.
The average height of the plant was
about five feet, and, as may well be
imagined, the boundless areas in tbe
season of harvest offered to the view the
appearance of a sea of enow. The aver?
age yield of these 24,000 acres is between
one and two bales to the acre.
Mr. Mason discussed at length with
Major Richardson tbe merits of the Cot?
ton Harvester. Major Richardson ex?
pressed himself appreciatively in regard
to its importance as a factor in the bar
vasiing of the crop.
As a result of his visit to Major Rich?
ardson's place Mr. Mason will furnish
him next year with a number of ma?
chines specially adapted to the picking of
the prolific and luxurant kind of cotton
that grows in the Mississippi Valley,?
News and Courier,
? A stout Irish woman, a servant em?
ployed by Dr. Otis, of New York, fell
down stairs a week ago. A thin glass
bottle she bad in her hand broke and a
broken piece entered her neck. Dr. Otis
ran to her, pulled tbe glass out and just
in tbe nick of lime got bis thumb aud
finger in the right place and stopped
the bleeding, the jugular vein being sev?
ered and the carotid artery being injured.
The pulse was then imperceptible. Tbe
woman was carefully removed to a room,
Dr. Otis holding the veins. Partly
digested food was syringed into her
her stomach through a silver tube in one
nostril to prevent her swallowing. The
food had to be so regulated as to make
an increased action of tbe heart, and
resulting pressure on the arteries very
gradual. Dr. Otis had a sling made to
support his arm and kept his thumb and
fingers in the same position twenty-six
hours until a clot formed. The woman
will probably recover, and if she does
her case will be the first one of recovery
with the jugular vein and carotid artery
both severed.
? The hydrographic .office in Wash?
ington continues to receive encouraging
reports from captains of Beafaring vessels
as to the feasibility of using oil to prevent
the sea from breaking over vessels during
stormy weather. Several letters were
received last week claiming that, with
twenty gallons of oil, vessels laid in a
comparatively smooth sea while a perfect
gale was in progress. Commander Bart
lett, chief hydrographer, is much pleased
with the reports thus far received, but
wishes some official trials before be an?
nounces bis conclusion. It is the desire
of the officers on hydrographic duty to
have one rf the squadrons conduct a ae?
ries of experiments with oil at sea and to
make an official report of the result.
They expect Rear-Admiral Luce, com?
manding the North Atlantic squadron,
to direct the experiments to be made.
? There are now 1009 convicts in the
penitentiary, of whom 503 are hired out
to contractors or employed out?ide the
institution.
? Smuggling on the Kio Grand is an
exciting and somewhat perilous business
since the revenue officers and the law?
breakers 'push a chance encounter to the
bitter end. The record of ten smugglers
and three guards killed in the last fight,
over $20,000 worth of goods, is dead?
lier than that of some battles in Iudian
warfare. Gen. Stanley has officially dwelt
on the oreat temptation to smuggling
afforded by a river boundary of more
than a thousand miles, fordable here and
there throughout its length, and with a
populatiou in many places friendly to
the smugglers. A body of deperadoes
and outlaws is thus maintained, living
indifferently on either side of the river,
and breaking the customs regulations of
both Governments with entire impartiali?
ty. It is probable, also, that they are at
the bottom of much marauding on private
property when their regular industry of
smuggling is dull, and that many acts
ascribed to international hostility are only
the demonstrations of these gentry to
while away their leisure hours.
? Fifteen years ago land could be
purchased wilhiu a mile of the business
centre of Chattanooga, Tenn., for from
$30 to $50 an acre. But the rapid growth
in busineim and population in that city is
seudiDg real estate up in value. On
Tuesday last a syndicate of capitalists
from Ohio, Kentucky and Mississippi
purchased a tract of 200 acres in the
suburbs of Chattanooga, paying for it
$500,000, or at the rate of $2,500 per acre.
The purchasers will make extensive im?
provements on tho property, and will
develop many sites for manufacturing
and business purpose. On the same day
the representative of several Eoglish
backs purchased 160 acres of land some
distance from the city limits for ?100,000.
Another sale was a site for a huge steam
forge, which will give employment to a
large number of hands.
? There is a movoment on foot for a
reunion of the survivors of Pickett's
famous charge at Gettysburg next July.
Pickett, who was major general com
mandiug the division, and Brigadier
Generals Garnett and Armistead, com?
manding U?o of the brigades that
charged, psrished on the field ; but Brig?
adier General James L. Kemper, who
was severely wounded and captured at
the culmination of the attack, still
survives, with an encysted bullet iu him
as a memento of the charge. He has
since been Governor of Virginia, and
Geu. Eppa Huuton, another survivor,
has been in Congress. Special invita?
tions have been sent to General Kemper
and Hunton.
? The President's wife is keeping up
with her distinguished husband and says
that she never feels tired shaking hands.
At one of her noon receptions last week
she shook hands with three hundred and
twenty-sever, persons in an hour. A New
York lady who has had the best oppor?
tunities for seeing the best society of
Europe and this country, after dining in
state at tho White House ou Thursday
evening last, exclaimed: "Mrs. Cleve?
land is per fectly lovely. I never saw her
before, and, having heard so much of her,
rather expected to he disappointed, but
her manners and ready conversation are
most charming, and she is n!s<> a beauti?
ful woman. Her Uctat the dinner amaz?
ed me."
? Hod. A. P. Butler, commis?oner of
agriculture, has received a letter from
W. M. Graham, of Sumter, stating that
some of his fine Ayrshire cattle have
symptoms of pleuro-pnetimonia. Colonel
Butler has instructed Dr. Beujamin
Mdunes, of Charleston, the veterinary
surgeon of the department of agriculture,
to proceed to Sumter immediately and
make a thorough examination of the
cattle said to be affected. Dr. Mclnnes'
report will be awaited with anxiety by
all owners of stock.
? A bill, providing penal punishment
for any one convicted of attempting to
teach or promulgate polygamous doc?
trines in that State, is before the Legis?
lature of Tennessee, where many Mor?
mon converts have been made, despite
another anc. milder law to the contrary.
A Great Discovery.
Mr. Win. Thomas, of Newton, la., says:
"My wife hiis been seriously affected with
a cough for twenty-live years, and this
spring inora severely than ever before.
She had uned many remedies without
relief, and being urged to try Dr. Kings
New Discovery, did so, with most gratify?
ing results. The first bottle relieved her
very much, and the second bottle has
absolutely cured her. She has not had so
good health, for thirty years." Trial
