'In all the States 'there is a great and growing demand in the. direction of this requirement. Re? stricted as it is by the New York consti? tution it is difficult to bao how convict Jabor can be employed except upon road Bfork. But in States where there is no jgh limitation upon the use of convicts Brey can be made more serviceable in Bell directed road work than in any fiftpr way.

In accordance with the call issued by the Board of Trade, a very ecthusiastio ndlroad mass meeting was held in the Court House last Monday, and was well attended both by citizens of the city and j County. On motion of Mr. R. S. Ligen, Mayor Tolly was called to the chair. Upon tak? ing the chair Mr. Tolly made a Bhort but earnest speech, in which he stated that this was a most important meeting, one that every man, woman and child in Anderson County is interested. He said that Anderson was now merely a side? track station, with mixed freight and passenger trains going in and out every day on both our railroads. He compli? mented Col. Boone, and naid he was the man to lead this new enterprise, because I he possessed the energy and was being backed by capitalists. Ho then declared the meeting ready for business. [ On motion, Mr. D. H. Russell was re? quested to act as Secretary. Mr. R. S. Ligon, as chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trade, explained why ttia mass meeting was called, and stated that Messrs. J. M. Sullivan, J. L. Tribble and J. E. Brea ziaaie had been requested to address the meeting. Mr. Sullivan was called upon and res? ponded In a most eloquent and impres? sive speech. He said there was no one more deeply interested In this enterprise tlaan he, and he hoped every person in his hearing felt just like he. The meet? ing had been made an open one, as the people of this entire section was Interest? ed. Our people must be aroused. Capi? tal will not come where It is not Invited, and we must show a willingness and lend a- helping hand to bring it here. We want this railroad and must have it. We must use all the means at our com? mand to assist in building this Road. We have .no direct connection East or West, and are cut off up' here in one cor? ner. We, as an agricultural people, are not only sellers but buyers, and we are interested in transportation, facilities. Anderson County is a God-favored coun? try, and it did him good when he went away from home to hear it complimented. All it needed was a trunk line of railway, and Col. Boone would give us one, if we would only co-operate with him. We must have competition in railroads as in everything else. Capitalists are seeking investments and they are going to those places that are helping themselves and have the best railroad facilities. He spoke of Knoxville, the places along the line and their, resources. The monied men of Knoxville are now backing Col. Boone, who has opened his offiue in that city, and subscriptions are rolling in daily. He explained CoL Boone's plan of the double track system, and said that Knoxville was thoroughly aroused, as the Southern system was working with all its influenpe and power against the enterprise. Col. Boone, he said, had An? derson on his map, but other places were working for the Road, and it was our duty to go to work. He spoke of the work already done on the old Blue Ridge Railroad, and said with a hearty co-opera? tion ail along the line it could soon be completed. He said every community had its kickers, but h,o hoped that none would bo developed against, this enter? prise. Mr. J. iL. Tribble was the next speaker and responded in his usual happy way. Ho said that Mr. Sullivan had covered the ground so well and eloquently that he felt he could say nothing. He said he would confine himself to a few facts, and would not consume much time. He told how the project of building the old Blue Ridge Road was-revived, and his first visit with two other gentlemen of Ander? ten to Knoxville to meet CoL Boone, whom he believed able to complete the Road. At this juncture he read the fol? lowing telegram which had just been re? ceived from CoL Boone. Knoxville, Tenn., May 6.1895. To Chairman of the Railroad Mass Meeting: Last November I pledged Mo Cully, Whitner and Tribble my reputa? tion, my good name to put Anderson on a trunk line railroad from the coal fields Of Tennessee to tidewater. Yonr meet? ing must either endorse that verbal con? tract or release me from my pledge. All is encouragement in Tennessee, and I know I shall succeed. I am in the swim to win or die in the attempt. Albert E. Boone. The speaker then resumed, and said the words contained in this telegram showed that CoL Boone was in earnest. He then read several letters of endorse? ment from distinguished gentlemen of various placea who knew CoL Boone and had confidence in any enterprise that he might take up. Among the letters read wai the following from the President of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, directed to Mr. J. A. Brock of this city: Knoxville, Tenn., May 2,1895. J. A. Brock, Esq., Anderson, S. C? Dear Sir: Yours to hand and contents noted. In reply will say onr people are very much with Mr. Boone. He is do? ing; nicely, and has onr people worked up to a very high pitch. We believe Boone will build the railroad. He will have planty of good financial backing, he says. I think there is no donbt but he " w d 1 build the road. He has rooms open? ed and Bubscriptions coming in daily. He tells me has come to build it, and has burned all bridges behind him. He has gotten the working people?mechanics, farmers and business men?all awakened, and we think we will now surely have the road. He Is a hard worker. He is getting the rights of way, and surveying is going on nicely. We believe your peo? ple ought to put their faith in Boone. We are backing and betting on Boone. Very truly, M. L. Ross. After some other appropriate remarks, the speaker spoke of the benefits to be derived from railroads, the amount of taxes paid into the County and State treasuries by them, and how much, un? der the present assessment, the new road would add to the taxable property of the County. The speaker then introduced some resolutions, which are printed be? low. Hon. J. E. Breazeale was the next and last speaker called out, and his short speech was most impressive and practical, j He said the time for action had come, and we could not afford to put it off any longer. This road was a necessity, and this section could not afford to miss it. He also referred to the mixed trains that go and come from Anderson. Our city was peculiarly located, it was true, but she is enterpri sing, and is surrounded by a country and a people that cannot be equalled any where in this broad land. This is an enterprise in which we all can and should unite. He spoke of the man - advantages that would accrue to our whole people in building this road. Its completion would not only benefit onr ' oity and County but the whole State. The State realized that when ehe invested so money in the old Blue Ridge Road be? fore the war. That money had been itpent and we cannot afford to lose it. He believed CoL Boone would build the road, but we had to show our willingness to co-operate with him. This was no time for mere talk, but for action, and heartily seconded the resolutions offered by Mr. Tribble. Of course, the above is only a brief synopsis of the speeches, but the re? marks reported by us show the zeal and earnestness of all three of the gentlemen, and we believe that every cit'zen present was deeply impressed with what was said, and are ready to put their Should? ers to the wheel and assist in completing this grand trunk line. After unanimously adopting the fol? lowing resolutions, introduced by Mr. Tribble, the meeting adjourned * Whereas, the people of Anderson have for years felt the necessity of a railroad across the mountains to Knoxville. Tenn., and from present indications the time ap? pears opportune for building the road; and, whereas, CoL A. E. Boone is en? gaged in preliminary work for the con struction of a road from Knoxville to tidewater, and has created considerable enthusiasm among the business men of Knoxville, Tenn.; and, whereas, the completion of said road through Ander? son, S. C, would materially aid in the development of the resources of the County; therefore, be it I Resolved, By the people of Anderson, that we stand ready to cc- operate with Col. Boone and the business men of Knoxville in building said road, and to this end every facility for the early com? pletion of the work should be extended to the promoters of said railroad. Resolved, That this meeting hereby ratifies the verbal pledge made to Messrs. McCully, Whitner and Tribble by Col. Boone last November as to location of said road via Anderson. Deab L\dies op the Bicycle : If you have read St. Peter, the divine, 1:3, you will have observed that he advises, on very high authority, that kind of ap? parel which is at least not bifurcated, but conformable to and expressive of the "bidden man of the heart," which, saith he, with elegant paraphrase, "is of a meek and quiet spirit." Both of these are very beautiful things, which bioyoling, to some extent, tarnishes. But this leads me to speak of a tide of feminine valor, moving down from the North, which I have been afraid you would not be able to stem. It is the groat wave of "woman's rights," whioh, so far as I have been able to learn, engrosses many things which He over the line. Now, I am an advocate of woman's rights to the last degree, and take an honorable pride in according to her the highest place in human affairs. I believe that she occupies the headquarters of all the virtues, those more especially that rule the policies of amity and good faith among men and nations. She holds the power behind the screen?the power of gentleness that makes men great, that gentleness of whioh one has said: "Thy gentleness hath made me great." I should grieve to see her shorn of this glory. 1 don't believe it is ungallant or ungenerous or impolite to her to say that in seeking public honors and public no? toriety she is forsaking her high and hon? orable position for those doubtful honors that are liable to be tarnished with the breath of scandal. I believe that she is forsaking the gentleness and the modesty whioh command the reverence of men and which protect her; that she is sub? jecting her constitution to the strain of violent ambitions that must injure both mind and heart; that suoh is the fine balance of her powers that should she become a voter on the hustings, the wrangling of parties and policies, the fierce clash of opinions would put many ladies in the lunatic asylum; that in seek in g the voting power she is disqualifying herself for the reign of love over her household. If she is not married, she is bound by the dictum of St. Paul, who says: "I will, therefore, that the younger women marry." If she i?i married, she is courting divorce by her absence from a home made desolate without her, and by that absence driving her husband to the saloon, the dispensary or the bottle. She is forsaking the most honorable and Important of tasks for the distracting and sometimes unbecoming business of pub? lic harangnes.: She is leaving a throne where her word is law for a miserable jostle on the hustings which acknowl? edges no law. She is going into a con? test with men who, ashamed to contend with women, will only ran a slipshod game with her, and give her an easy but a worthless; victory. She is going into a region of political tricks whioh her hon? est, outright nature knows not. If she becomes a preacher, where tricks are in? admissible, her pathos would win where her argument would not, and the per? suasiveness for which she is powerful at home would go into impassioned lucu? brations under the strain of a publio au? dience. I mention these things now to put yon on your guard against a storm of social revolution surely coming, of which the J>remonitory gusts and flashes are already eit in our country. Notice some of the things that are already determined upon: 1. They have passed a resolution to doff their hats in divine services and all publio speakings, just like men. without any regard to the time^honored decency and taste of the fine covering for the head which distinguishes women in publio places. 2. Ihey have resolved that woman is "surely coming to the kingdom," and in anticipation have undertaken to preach publicly, without its being definitely settled, so far as I know, who called them. 3. They have graduated in medicine and propose to practice. They haye a right to know as much of human physi? ology as is knowable, and, indeed, of the intricacies of anatomy: and yet in clinics and surgery the- practical treatment of many troubles, involving anatomy, must of necessity be declined by the female doctress as more befitting the more obtuso moral sensibilities of the men who have acquired hardihood at the dissecting table. 4. They propose to enter the Law Schools, and eventually to take positions at the bar; yet in the prosecution of that business, the examinations and cross examinations in certain cases, you would think, would be exceedingly embarrass? ing to a female barrister. 5. They must vote, of course; yet as this is an assertion of female rights it must often antagonize the male vote, and of forces which marriage makes. It ought to be remembered that noth? ing drives a man to the dispensary or the bottle soon sr than when he is disturbed in the citadel of his happiness, when his house is deserted of his female comforter, his hours lonely, his children crying, his milk and pies slovenly dished, his wife off at midnight practicing medicine in contagious diseases, or giving attention to Court litigations, or voting down among the rabble with other women less careful of the decencies of the sex. Is there any wonder ths.t divorces have grown more frequent ? Let us try to be on our guard against a bad movement of the age. D. E. F. A Decision Tomorrow. Columbia, S. C, May 3.?This morn? ing the dispensary oases were heard. Dr. pope called the attention of the oourt to the fact that the temporary injunction of Judge Goff restraining the State board of control and the employees of the State dispensary from interfering with liquor while in transit or in the hands of original consignees had been disregarded. After reading the paper, Judge Goff issued an order against P. Mixon, State commis? sioner, A. T. davis and S. T. Lafferty, State constables, to show cause tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock why they should not be attached and punished for con? tempt of court. Judge Simonton was on the benoh with Judge Goff. The dispensary cases came up this morning. Proceedings were opened by the reading of the rule and the return thereto. Mr. Barber read the return and Judge Townsend opened for the State. His argument was against the jurisdiction of the oourt in the case. He devoted considerable attention to the meaning of the word "arrival" and showed thst in both cases before the oourt the liquor had not been seized until after delivery to the consignees and so no matter what construction was placed upon the word "arrival" the complain? ants in those two cases had no standing in court. In the afternoon both Pope and Caldwell spoke. There was consid? erable politics in the remarks with wbiob Pope commenced his speech. They attacked the constitutionality of the dis? pensary law generally, but paid special attention to its alleged conflict with the inter State commerce law. J. P. K. Bryan will speak in the morning against the law, and Attorney General Barber will close for the State. The registration decision will be ren? ted Wednesday morning.?Special to I eenmlle News. Keely Must Tell His Secret, Leavenwokth, Kas., May 2.?Judge Myers, of the federal court, in granting the petition of W. F. Johnson, of Topeka, who sued Dr. Leslie E. Keeley for ?100, 000 damages, rules that Dr. Keeley must make known the ingredients of his bichloride of gold compound. The court holds that the compound is not a propri? etary right, nor a trade Beeret, being un? protected by a patent, and has been in use more than two years, in tact, that there is nothing to prevent Dr. Keeley testifying. Johnson alleges that he was made a physical wreck by the gold treatment. _ The "around the world" fad has been taken advantage of by a crippled news Eaper man of Mount Vernon, Ind., who as started on a tour of the globe in a three-wheel chair. Of course it is made on a wager. The conditions are that he is to start without a cent of money, must make the trip within two years, must Eay all his expenses by the practice of is calling, and must have a surplus of $500 when he reaches Evansvllle on his return. The bet is $2,000 to $1,000 that he will not succeed, and if he wins ho is to receive a portion of the stake. ?

" Woman's Rights." mysterious unity Clsmson College. Clemson College, May 2.- Pursuant to the order of the president of the board of trustees, Col. R. W. Simpson, a meet? ing oftbat body was held here last night. Messrs. Staekboute, Mauldin and Read fern being absent. Among the acts of the board, the following may be of gen? eral interest. When the report of the committee on the privilege tax on fertili? zers was made, it was seen that ?5,000 more than had been expeoted was due the college. Also $10,000, which only a short while ago the College never dreamed of getting and had no idea that any such amount was due from any source what? ever, was reported to the board. It will be remembered that the board of trustees bad asked the Legislature for an appro? priation of $35,000, that the House reduced this amount to 815,000, which the Senate raised to $35,000. The House and Senate agreed to a compromise which waa $25,000. By some means, $35,000 instead of $25,000, was engrossed in the bill sent to Governor Evans, which he signed, and hence the College gets $10,000 more than it bad expected. I am authorized by a member of the board to say that there was considerable discussion as to whether or not the amount ought to be accepted. I saw a member of the Senate and be knew nothing of how the change occurred, or by whom it was made. Governor Evans, when he was here, seemed to know nothing of how the enlargement came about so I am told. The trustees getting, therefore, $15,000 more than they bad expeoted, decided to build two new dwelling houses for the professors, also a committee was appoint? ed to examine the dike and report on the same to the executive committee with the view of repairing it, It will be re? membered that a very large number of convicts was sent here last winter to build this dike in the bottoms to protect it from the overflows of Seneca river. The dike did not stand very long, how? ever, as it was soon broken in several places. Lieutenant Donaldson has been ordered to assist Professor Tompkins in the engineering work of it. The board also made appropriations to the horticul? tural, dairy and mechanical departments so that they may be better fitted to give the students the best training. Special attention ia to be paid to the making of cheese, which under Professor Hart's thorough management is becoming a very great success in every way. The board further appropriated an amount for furnishing the fitting department of the college, which is under the manage? ment of Professar W. S. Morrison. The board at its meeting held in Janu? ary, on account of the scarcity of money with which to pay the current expenses of the College, decided not to pay Staden ts for their labor, except in special cases, but having now received the above men? tioned amount, students will again be paid for productive labor, thus bringing the student labor system into work, with its advantages and disadvantages. ? On account of the great stress now ex? isting in money matters, it was agreed that the dress uniform coat should be abolished, and that the fatigue, with, special alterations, shonld be substituted in its place. The uniform thus altered will cost about 812. The cadets having submitted a petition to the board asking their permission to spend several weeks on Suliivan's Island in encampment, it was ordered that the president of the College should take into consideration this Bubjectand thus hav? ing the entire matter in his hands, con? cerning tho encampment and its where? abouts. If any town or city would like to have the corps of cadets encamp in it, and will promise to treat us better than the Spartanburg people did, the authori? ties here would do delighted to receive any communication tending towards securing the encampment and giving the cadets a delightful time. Some changes are to be made in the course of study whioh are now under the consideration of the committee of the board appointed to arrange a course of study. Electric engineering is to be placed in the mechanical course and is to be taught by Professor Tompkins. Professor Moncrieffs resignation was accepted to take effect September 1. We regret exceeding to have to give up Pro? fessor Moncriene. He is indeed a most earnest man, always faithful to himself and to those with whom he is associated, and ever at his post of study. When thinking of his going away so soon, I am constrained to feel that be is taken from ns "Like a summer dried fountain, when our need is the sorest." The board adopted a series of ordinan? ces for the preservation of good order upon the College grounds, the College having been incorporated sometime ago by the Legislature with this view.?Co? lumbia State. Registration Argument Concluded. Columbia, S. C, May 4.?Arguments in the registration case were finished to? day and Judge Goff announced that he would render his decision early next week. Caldwell and Pope spoke for making the injunction permanent and General McCraay made the closing argu? ment for the State. Pope twitted McCra dy with bis connection with the registra? tion law and his efforts to defraud the Negroes out of their right to vote. McCrady quilted it into Pope in his return, showing how the democratic con? stitution two years ago waa amended upon motion of Pope so as to make it almost impossible for Negroes to vote in primaries, it being roqulred of tbem to show that they voted for Hampton in 1876 and the democratic ticket contin? uously ever since, producing an affidavit often white men to that effeot. He argued that Pope's zeal for the Negroes was very Budden and. simply a political move. Pope sprang to his feet at this point and excitedly exclaimed that all this was personal and he would not submit to it. Judge Goff said there was no occasion for counsel to lose their tempers. Mc? Crady said he had much more ammuni? tion of the same sort to fire at Pope, but ss Pope had lost his temper and atter all. it was only an argument ad hominem, and such arguments did not carry much weight, he would desist. Judge Simonton will sit with Judge Goff Monday and the two dispensary cases, the one originated before Goff by Caldwell and Pope and the one started before Simonton by Bryan and Bryan, will be heard together. The general ex p< sc tat ion is that the registration law will be declared uncon? stitutional. Upon the suggestion of Attorney Gen? eral Barber, Judge Goff signed an order suspending the injunction against Super? visor of Registraiton Green and allowing him to register voters on Monday.? Special to the Greenville News. ? Near the flourishing mountain town of Blue Bidge two thirsty citizens estab? lished a contraband still for the sole Smrpose of making a little of the ardent br "personal purposes." They got everything ready?in tip-top working order, ana were Boon ready for the "doubling" to come off. The night was set for that purpose, but three evil dis? posed citizens had "caught on" and de? termined as soon as the real proprietors fired np and commenced operations they would go in, run them off and capture the plant The proprietors came, fired up, and everything was working smooth? ly, when the three evil-disposed citizens made a break and captured the still, run? ning the proprietors out of the neighbor? hood. They sat laughing and reveling at the huge joke they had perpetrated when all of a sudden they found themselves looking down the barrels of six shining Winchesters in the hands of as many de? termined revenue men. The evil citizens were promptly "cuffed" and hustled off to Atlanta to answer to the charge of illicit distilling, while the real owners watched from an adjacent hill the whole transaction, making the valleys ring with their merriment.

Adylces received from ail the States Indi? cate a great crush in Atlanta and the Exposition management has determined to take vigorous measures to relieve the Eressure. Atlanta has in progress more uildlngstban ever before. It is almost impossible to rent a house at a reasonable Erice and buildings are going up by the undreds in every part of the city. Boarding houses are multiplying and it has become absolutely necessary to build temporary structures by the wholesale. In order to give strong stimulus to such work, the executive committee deter? mined to-day to offer a bonns of about 33 percent of the cost of the structure and will leave a large margin of profit for the builders. This is expected to cause a rapid inflow of investments. A special committee, including a number of the ablest men on the board, together with thestanding committee of public comfort, is charged with the execution of these plans, and the lumbermen in Atlanta will have a meeting shortly to take con? certed measures for the end in view. The city is in a fever of enthusiasm about the coming Exposition, and it is probable that the building done during the next few months will he phenomenal. ? The Detroit Tribune wants a compo? site dollar of gold and silver. The coin would be absolutely stable in value, for in case of disparity at any time in the commercial values of gold and silver what was lost by the depreciation of one metal would be made up by exactly the same comparative appreciation or the other. The late Alexander H. Stephens advocated practically the same thing when he suggested the golold dollar. The Discovery Saved his Life. Mr. G. Calllouette, Druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis? covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. ; King's New Discovery in my store I sent I for a bottle and began its use, and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or bouse without it." Get a free trial at Hill Bros. Drug Store. Core for Headache.

I have a number of articles of my old Stock of Goods as good and cheaper than you can get any? where in the city. Let me price them to you. A. A. TOWERS. ?ITT. MABKBT. THE undersigned bare thla dar formed a copartnerahip for the purpose of conducting a FIRST CLASS MEAT, FISH, OYSTER, VEGETABLE and PRODUCE MARKET. We expect to fu> nish all the tables In toe "city," from the richest to the poor. It is our aim. once you are our custom er always one. We propose to handle nothing but the rery best, and furnish ererything that can be grocured, and should we, by oversight or otherwise, sell you anything that is not satisfactory, send it ack at our expense, as we would think you meant to treat us Just by so doing. Instead of keeping the gooda and complaining to yourself oryour neighbors that we were unscrupulous people ana did not care what kind of goooj we palmed off on our customers. We expect to merit your trade by honest and satisfactory dealing, ana we feel confident that we will get it. We have Just glren an order through that reliable firm, 6. F. Tolly & Son, for a large and commodious Butchers Refrigerator, guaranteed, to keep meats 15 to 20 days. Therefore, we will he able to give you good ripe Meats all through the hot Summer, as everybody knows that Meat fresh killed is not fit for immediate ns<3. We have also giren an order for an Electric Motor, with which we expect to start early in the Fall the manufacture of all kinds of Sausage, for wholesale or retail trade, we hare also ordered Fans, by which to keep our place cool and free from flies, for if there is anything that disgusts trade more than anything on earth It is to enter a market and find the meats and vegetables covered with files. I A word to the good ladles and housekeepers and we are done for the present with this our intro? ductory. We don't know whether every good housewife is cognizant of the fact or not. but there is nothing more annoying or perplexing to the average husband than to be troubled with the duties of buying the eatables for the daily supply of the table. So the husbaud whose good wife takes that care off his hands Is fortunate indeed. Happily there are not a great many of that kind, for we have quite a number of good lady customers who come and select their Meats, dec, with as much taste and talent as some of the professional buyers of the large city hotels, and we must say it is a pleasure to wait on them, for when they make their own selections we feel that there will be no complaint of anything not giving satisfaction* So, good ladles, lay aside your embarrassing Ideas and relieve your husbands of this arduous duty' \ich, while be hates, he docs without a murmur, yet at the same time he de? spises Remember Uu >hu is a progressive age, and that the good wives of husbands In large cities have been for years talc, \their baskets and going to the markets for their daily supply ?f meats, veg? etables, &c. And remembi.. there are no rich husbands In Anderson who are able to hire butlers, Ac, to do this buying for them, for as thrifty as our Utile olty is thore is not a rich man In it. And re? member, again, that the good women of this fair land are engaging in every pursuit of life, thereby throwing them In contact with the world, and while it mar soemlndeoent to some, we glory in the spunk of the girl that can got out and provide for herself, for the dar has come when husbands, as a rule, are no good, thereby making marriaga a failure In deed as well as In truth, for our heart goes out for the good gnd Lmocent girl that marries a pair ot pants. So we beg you to visit our handsome place, and we guarantee that whUe you are there that there will be nothing done or said that will cause the blush of shame to come to your pheek. You shall bo treated as nice and polite as If you were in the grandest dry goods emporium in the State.
