LOCAL NEWS. WEDNESDAY APRIL 27, 1S9S. The Black Diamond lt. it. MR. EDITOR : To the friends of the Black Diamond Railroad in Anderson, let me say that the war that i? now upon na may suspend work for awhile, but ss toon aa the war clouds roll by the enterprise will be pushed with renewed energy to the finish. The war that is impending shows what a great necessity thie, roadie to the country, and if in operation Port Royal and Charleston would be the great coaling stations for our fleet From receat letters and-, reports the out'opk for the road ia very .encouraging. Practically all the preliminary work in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee is completed, and as soon as the conditions are favorable the promoters will take up the work in South Carolina and push the Road to com pletion. We may reft assured that Col. Boone and President Kirkby are not idle, and they purpose to build this road, war . or no war. J. L TRIBBLE Since writing the above. I have received a letter from Hon. Wm. Kirkby, Presi dent, informing me that the surveys have been completed to Columbus, Ohio, end that the expert from England has airived to go on the line. He does not think the war trouble will interfere with the enterprise, and it is bis purpose to take up the work here as soou as he has fully recovered from hts recent illness. J. L. T. Early Closing Movement. EDITORS INTELLIGEKCER: Spring is now here,and as it has been the custom of a ma jority of mercbai_ts here to close their res pective places of business at such an 6arlv hoar in the afternoons as will enable tbeir employes to exercise themselves awbeeliog or to seek such recreation and pleasure as may snit tbeir tastes, do you not think it fittiDg tb cad the matter up for considera tiori, in order that those merchants who have not heretofore observed the general custom may arrive at some agreement as to closing. The writer is sure that if the matter is taken into thoughtful considera tion by employers, they will not hesitate to get on inn band wagon. Beside?, it the humane ladies of Anderson will do ad their shopping before 6 o'clock, we believe those merchants will promptly withdraw all ob jections to the movement. - I wonld suggest, tuen, that a paper be circulated for the signatures of toe ladies of Anderson, cammi tiing them to the pro posed scheme by a promise that th*>y will not shop atter the hoar agreed upon for general closing. Then have the several merchants sign the usual paper, indicating their willingness to close tbeir places of business at 6 o'clock, and wnen sis o'clock is agreed on as the closing hour, 1 let it mean six and not half oast.

There has been some talk of Hon. Joshua W. Ashley running for the position of S ate Senator, but betel's us lie is undecided. It will ba remembered that he bas served in tho House for three terms, and bas done some noble work. His record is before tho people, and it is a good one-as good aa any man oft'O .Auderson delegation can show. Mr. Ashley is not in favor of such high taxes ! on the fermera, and the high appropria tion, etc We learn that there has been a caucus held in Anderson against Mr. Ashley, and that it he enters the race men will be put in the Geld against him. The reason is they can't manage him down there when they go to votiug these high taxes and high .salaries, of which he is not in favor. I will just say to you that if.Tosh en ters the race for tho House of Represent atives, (which wo trust he will) you will have to hustle around to bust him for he is not a era ik to bo turned hy any schem lng politician, but a man with pleiv.v of good common sense.
