The Octopns. Me. Editor : An impression prevails that if the Richmond and West Point Terminal could be defeated in the lease of the Georgia Central it would leave Anderson, Greenville, and other places, as. competing points between the two lines as heretofore. This is certainly a mistake. The Eichmond and West Point own a controlling interest in the .Georgia Cen? tral, the Georgia Central .owns a con? trolling interest in the Port Royal and Western Carolina, which gives the West Point absolute control of all the lines without any lease. - In January the Georgia Central elects officers?or rather the Bichmond and West Point elects them?which in turn elects the officers of the Port Royal and Western, and it is plain that no conflict of interest could arise between them as to rates between supposed competing points.. We knew that we were surrendering control of our railroad to the Georgia Central when we consented to the ar? rangement. It was either this or lose the road. It was no lack of foresight on the part of the management of the Sa? vannah Valley Railroad. B. - |: ; TO OPPOSE THE OCTOP?S. A South Carolina Statute -which may Im? pede the Gobble. Greenville News. Andeksoit, S. C, Nov. 23d, 1888. . ' In all that baa been said about the.re? cent; "scoop" of-the Georgia Central Railroad; and its properties, including the Port Royal & Western Carolina by the West Point Terminal I have seen-no allusion to a proviso in the charter of the Port Royal .and Western Carolina that perhaps renders its consolidation with the Richmond & Danville system invalid. This road, as is welLknown, is composed of the Augusta & Knoxville, the Green? wood, Laurens & Spartanburg, the Green ville & Laurens and the Savannah Valley, railroads, the act . to : promote this consolidation having been passed: by the Legislature of the State id. December, 1888.-. '"v.;;.-.;.. ? . Section 3d of the act provides "That said company shall have authority .to become the lessee of any other- railroad with which it may connect, whether soch connections, be made at any one of its termini, or at a point intermediate 'between its termini: Provided that euch railway company shall not lease or own, or be leased or owned by, any railroad now built, which extends eastward toward the ocean from the line of said railway." (General statutes, vol. 19, page ?04.) , .1 know something personally of the insertion of this proviso, which was not iii the original draft of the Bill,, and think I am safe in saying its object was to prevent the Port Royal & Western Carolina from passing under the same control with.tbe Columbia & Greenville and its branches. The two roads or sys? tems each terminate or touch at the towns or cities of Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens, Greenwood and Anderson, and it ;vas regarded as of vital importance to preserve to these communities the advan? tage of competition, afforded by those two rival and competing systems. This was the object of the proviso. And the ques? tion is now presented whether. the Richmond & West Point Terminal, which controls the Colombia & Greenville, as a part of the Richmond & Danville system, can do what the Columbia & Greenville could not do, lease or purchase the Port Royal & Western Carolina, and unite the -two under one control. If it can, then this legislation has proved ineffectual to prevent what it was intended to prevent, a unification of the two roads in one in? terest. A suit has been commerced in Tennes? see to annul the lease of the East Ten? nessee, Virginia & Georgia by the Rich? mond & Danville as contrary to the railroad law of that State, forbidding the lease. or, purchase . of one railroad by another competing- railroad. It is intimated that a like salt or suits will probably be instituted in Georgia to test the validity of the purchase of the Cen? tral, as opposed to the constitutional provision of ihat State to the same effect. 1 see that Judge Speer has just decided that the purchase of the Savannah. Dub? lin & Western by the Central is void for this reason. Is it not worth while for us to inquire whether the obsorption of the Port Royal & Western Carolina by the Richmond & Danville system is not in contravention of the charter of the former p or shall we quietly submit to the embraces of this railroad octopns, as it has .been called, and content octrselves with the fair promises of President In man and bis associates?. Is it not better, for the country to have two rival roads, distinct in inter? est,'competing for its business than a monopoly of that interest by a single system? What have*Greenvile and Spar? tanburg and Laurens and Greenwood and Anderson to say abont it ? Have they not at least sufficient in? fluence in the Legislature to direct an inquiry, either through the Attorney General or a committee of its own mem? bers, whether the charter of the Port Royal & Western Carolina has not prob- ? ably been forfeited by uniting its inter? ests and control with the Columbia & Greenville? B. F. Whitner. Contesting the Clemson Will. The United States District Court met in this city yesterday.morning, Judge C. H. Simonton on the bench. The attorneys for Miss Isabella Lee, the only surviving direct heir of Mrs. John C. Calhoun, last night filed a bill in equity for their client against Richard W. Simp? son, Executor and Trustee, under the will of Thomas G. Clemson. The bill is a lengthy document, and sets fortb, among other things, the will of Mrs. John C. Calhoun, who devised her estate to her children and her chil? dren's children in lineal descent. The plaintiffs claim that Mrs. Clemson did not execute the power of this will in leaving her property to Mr. Clemson, that it should, instead, have gone to her lineal descendants, of whom Miss Lee ! is now the only one surviving. The case will be tried before Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Su Sreme Court, Judge Bond of the United tates Circuit Court and Judge Simonton of the District Court, and the attorneys hope to have it brought to, trial in May next. , The attorneys for the plaintiff sra Mr. Cary of Pickens, General Leroy F. You mans of this city, and A. P. -Calhoun of Atlanta will be associated with them in the case.?Columbia Register, Nov. 17. No Negro Problem. "The white people of the South," Mr. Douglass said, answering a question, "will rule the Soutb. Intelligence will win. It is .idicolous to pretend that the people who have the wealtn, the people who have the railways, the people who have thesteam locomotive, the people who have the steam navigation, the people who have the commerce of tne nation are going to be dominated by the poor and the despised and the illiterate negro, j There is not the least danger of anything of the kind, and I sometimes think that our Southern white people know that there exists no such danger. All that the whites of the Soutb have to do is to treat the negro justly, and he will listen to them before he will listen to any other people, from the North or elsewhere. It is impossible for tbe negro to rule; it is imppBsible.--.Fr?" Douglass in Commercial^ Qazeilc % HARRISON AND THE SOUTH. ..Guesses at the Next President's Valley. From the New York Times. Indianapolis, Nov. 19.?The eager discussion by the Southern newspapers of what tbey call Gen. Harrison's South? ern policy is giving an undue relative importance to that subject all over the country. This importance is magnified here by the importunity with which Gen. Harrison is assailed, by letter and per? sonal interview, to frame, define and declare a line of conduct which shall relieve the apprehensions with which '.he Southern people look forward to his ad? ministration of the Government. His mail is burdened with letters of advice, appeal, deprecation and protest, and his daily callers include a large Southern contingent, which comes on. the same errand?to implore him not tQ, disturb too violently the social status finally established- in the Soutb and confirmed nnder the last Administration ; to recog? nize the dominant classes in his appointments to office;' not to subject the Southern people again to what they call negro and carpet-bag rule, nor to encour? age any form of Federal interference in the local affairs of .the Southern States. Under these circumstances it is impossi? ble that the Southern question should not fill a large space in local discussion of the policy of the new Administration, however reticent the President elect and his intimates may desire to remain upon it. Those who undertake to speak for Gen. Harrison deprecate the assumption that.be will have a Southern policy as distinct from his national policy of ad? ministration, declare that be will treat all sections alike and apply the same general principles of government to the south as to the North. It is pretty well understood, however, that the President? elect has been coerced by the importuni: ty of visitors and correspondents to give more consideration to this subject than to any other connected with his Adminis? tration, and that be has arrived at quite definite conclusions as to bis general course.;.--?.-? appointments in the south. In the matter of appointments to office in the South, Gen. Harrison will proba? bly look for guidance to the experience of bis Republican predecessors in office, I all of whom had to deal with the same problem of finding fit representatives of the Federal power and dignity and com - petent executors of the Federal law out Bide of the ranks of the most intelligent, I richest, most influential, and socially I dominant classes. Gen. Harrison will not. imitate. Gen. Grant by seducing prominent Ex-Confederates from their I Democratic fealty by appointments to office; nor Mr. Hayes 'by attempting to raise the ghost of- the old Whig party. .The element he will seek to recognize and foster in the South is that made, np of the younger, more progressive, liberal, enterprising men of both parties, who have risen to prominence since the war and are free from the narrow prejudices and radical bitterness it engendered; who are identified with the. -material growth of the country and interested in its industrial development So far as the party question is concerned, it is believed I to be Gen. Harrison's judgment that President Arthur dealt with the problem of appointments to office in- the South more sagaciously and successfully than any other Republican President. Arthur, in his theory at least, made fitness - the first and Republicanism the second qual? ification to office in the Soutb. He ap pointed good Republic ids wherever he could find them, and good Democrats where be couldn't. The conditions of the prroblom now existing make it a great deal simpler for Gen. Harrison than it was for Mr. Arthur. The Democrats are now-in office, and the civil service law, which it h believed be means faithfully to obey in letter and spirit,.is in full force. When Arthur had to fly in the face of party tradition by appointing Democrats to office in places where suitable Republi? cans could not be found, Harri bod will I only have to obey a law placed upon 14he statute books by his .own party by .leaving Democrats in office. no bevtval of negeo rule. It is thought that the policy of- the President-elect will be about as indicated above ; that he will make his Adminis? tration in the South as thoroughly Republican as is consistent with efficien? cy and obedience to law, but that he will neither be precipitate nor violently par? tisan in his appointments: that there will be few removals, except for cause,. and that when vacancies occur they will be filled with Republicans, where fit and* competent Republicans can be found, but otherwise by reappointmenta." The per? sonal character of the men upon whom Gen. Harrison will most rely to represent and sustain his Administration in the South has. been hinted at. There will be no revival of negro or carpet-bag rule. It is .believed that few negroes will be appointed to local office; that the lest of fitness and acceptability will be applied as rigidly to one race as to the other. Few of the political carpet bagg9rs of the old school are left in the South. The emi? grants who have followed them?the capitalists, manufacturers, miners, busi? ness men, who have identified themselves with the country, its. progress and pros? perity?stand in the most direct line of favor and recognition from ihe new Ad? ministration. They and those of the younger class of native Southerners who have caught their spirit and share their sentiments and aspirations, the men of the new Soutb as a whole, native and imported, will be the hope and reliance of Gen. Harrison's Administration. legislation touching the south. There is less definiteuess in the local forecast of Gen. Harrison's policy in rela? tion to Republican legislation affecting the South, but it is not believed that it will be violent or aggressive. His speeches upon this subject have been carefully scanned without finding in their judicious generalizations any warrant for the expectations that he will favor or urge upon Congress what is called a vig? orous Southern policy. He is known to feel strongly upon the inequality of actu al representation in the Electoral College and House of Representatives growing out of the suppression of suffrage in the Soutb, and upon the practical nullification' of the Federal laws for the collection of revenue in many Sontberu communities; but he is understood to believe that the permanent and effective remedy for those evils lies in the gradual growth of a more wholesome popular sentiment, inspiring a greater respect for public law and private rights, rather than iu the attempt to enforce distasteful Federal laws in the face of hostile Courts, juries and public I opinion. It is known that Gen. Harri? son will rely very hopefully upon the 1 development of the industrial spirit in the South to foster and diffuse this more wholesome public sentiment; that he has faith in the power of the increased men? tal energy and greater personal indepenr dence that characterize industrial society to put an end to the evils growing out of the subjection of an ignorant majority to the arrogant minority in a primitively organized agricultural community. Ac? cordingly, it is believed, that the indus? trial development of the South will receive all possible encouragement and aid from bis Administration, both in executive acts and through his influence upon legislation. ? John C. New, of Indianapolis, who is regarded in some quarters as the mouth piece of Mr. Harrison, thinks that under the new President the civil'service law will be satisfactorily enforced. Mr. New says: "I do not believe that there will be any baste in turning out Democrats. There will be no clean sweep. Gen. Harrison is a believer in the civil service idea, and he will, I think, enforce the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. Many cnanges will be made, but not without cause. I apprehend, however, that there will be cause enough for a great many changes. The postal service of the coun? try is outrageously bad. Every ooe knows it. Here in Indiana it is ps bad as incompetent men can make it. Gen. Harrison, I think, fully appreciates the importance of improving the-service, and it is evident that it can only be done by potting the. work into tap bands of moro competent men/' j CHIMES AND CASUALTIES.

She was brought back by a policeman,1 and when Durkin heard . her voice, sightless und suffering as he was, he sprang on her, and despite the officer, nearly killed her. She was jailed, and Durkin sent to the hospital. She alleges brutal treatment by her husband and his threat to bring another woman into the house to take his wife's place, as provocation for the act. Mrs. Durkin is thought to be insane Durkin will probably die. . New Yoee, Nov. 22.?Charles Eyck and Eva Hem either were to have been married at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

Prof. F. H. Vandegrift made the ascent. When the balloon bad reached an altitude of half a mile it suddenly burst, and began to descend to the ground rapidly, to tberhorror of the spectators. Yandegrift cut the rope that held tbe parachute, and for a time it "seemed that he would escape death. The parachute f 11 near tbe centre of the Chattaboochee river Yandegrift was drowned in spite of the efforts of two men in a boat to save bim. The unfortunate man was twenty five years old and unmarried. He was born in West Virginia, and hfd been in the balloon business twelve years.

One of the Best* Columbia, S. 0., 'Nov. 23?Ihe monthly reports of the Sontb Carolina department of agriculture are in great demand. Within the past few days applications for them have been received from several Western States. The last number issued, October, contained 45 pages of interesting matter, among other things a number of essays on scientific and practical subjecta read at county farmers' institutes by gentlemen engaged by the board of agriculture for that pur? pose. It is probably not too much to say that the South Carolina department of .agriculture is one of the best equipped departments in the country. Its publi? cations are always full of interest to farmers. County farmers' institutes were held at various places under its manage? ment the present year, and many others will be held the coming year. The work in its laboratory is increasing so rapidly that the board of agriculture has found it necessary to employ two assistants to the regular chemist, who will do the work after December 1st. The two agricultural experiment stations un? der the control of the department are managed by a director and two superin? tendents, who are practical farmers. A full report of the experiments made du? ring 1888 will be published by the board in January. The veterinary surgeon of the department will visit any section of the State where contagions, diseases among live stock is suspected. The department's fine exhibit at Augusta has been frequently mentioned in these columns. In every branch of its work the department is doing \. o xl for tl e State generally, and especially for the farmers. ? Sam Jones will begin this week a aeries of twenty lectures in the eastern, western and middle States. Mouse and Lot for Sale. THE House and Lot, formerly Mrs. Rob? inson's, whereon Samuel T.
