Tho Republicans Will control thc next Congress by a very small majority -not exceeding twelve votes. Save your potato crop. Put them up se they will keep till spring, then you can get a good price for them. Do not .waste them because they are abundant. Probably no State election ever held arouzed so little interest as thc one just held in this State. Barring the trouble at Phoenix, the election all over the State w as as quiet as a May Sunday. - ' Peace now reigns in Greenwood Conn ty, and it will likely continue so if tho notorious Tolberts will stay away from there. But should they re turn they may expect trouble. Their affiliation with the negroes and incit ing them to carry arms and use them at the polls has ostracised them from every Jaw-abiding citizen of that coun try. -<i i ? The recent annual report of tho gen eral superintendent of the railway mail sorvice shows that in tho United States during the past year the matter so illegibly addressed as to require special attention before delivery could bc af fected, or which could not be delivered at all, amounted to x3,500,000 pieces for the year, 7,6'55,O0O pieces of which were .returned to write ~s or corrected and forwarded, the rest being turned into the dead letter office for disposition. The question of a national board of health is being discussed more or less hythe southern press, and is attracting the attention of public men through out tho country. The people of Missis sippi, Louisiana a nd Florida are espe cially interested in the subject, which ?3 due largely to the recent epidemic of yellow fever through which that sec tion has just passed. The idea of such a national-board of health is generally endorsed by physicians in the south, and the suggestion seems to have the approval of the health authorities of tho three States referred to. The plan generally discussed is that sneh a board should bo composed of representatives from each of the States of the Union, the members of which should, of course, be experienced and trustworthy mem bers of the medical fraternity, the head of such a board to be known as "com missioner of public health." The sub ject is one worthy of discussion, and there is much in it to merit considera tion on the part of Congress. Another conference was held in Co lombia last Wednesday in reference to putting on another train between Co lumbia and Greenville. Representa tives from severs J. towns along the Road were present and the Southern Railroad was represented by Messrs. Hardwick, Wells and Cardwell. Peti tions from all the towns along the road were presented to the officials, and tho business necessity of the train was pointed out by the delegates present, who urged that the train desired would not only benefit the road but the cities and towns along the line. As is already known the question is only the exten sion of the train from Prosperity, its r present terminus, to Columbia. The people of this section need another train tc Columbia, and .we sincerely hope it will be put on. The railroad officials say it will not pay. Perhaps it will not af first, but we behove the brsiness of thc road can be in creased, and in a short while the train will pay. Let the railroad au thorities try the experiment, and all the towns and cities interested in keep ing the train on will do their utmost to make it a success. The pessimist is abroad in the land. On every hand the ear of the passer-by is assailed by tales of woe, touching upon almost every known topic, from the low price of cotton to the ruinous policy pursued by the government in the recent war with Spain. In fact, it seems that a great many people are imbued with the idea that we are every one, separately and individually, on the high road to ruin and that the country (in this locality, at least) is fast approaching the "demnition bow wows." But let us pause a moment. Is there really a good and sufficient reason for all this pessimistic talk? Are the clouds that are now hovering a portion of i our fair Southland really so dark as they are painted by some of our friends with the gloomy cast of countenance? No! most emphatically, no! We cite in proof of this denial the lessons which the history of our coun try teaches us, the indisputable axioms of political economy and best of all, the logic of common sense. The equal ization of values is a fact not a theory; and the same rule applies to existing conditions. If the farmer finds he can not make a living raising four-cent cotton with his present system of farm ing, he must change his system; raise/ corn and hogs and plant just enough cotton to supply him with clothing and pay his personal debts. By pursuing such a policy for awhile the price of cotton will bo bound to react. Human lifo is a series of ups and downs. Every community has them and we cannot hopo to escape our share of tin; "downs." Let us not despair, but as troubles arise meet them unflinchingly, and we will be rewarded by having peace, prosperity aod plenty in the. land._^ - Nine deaths have occurred in the Secoud South Carolina regiment from fever originating in Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville. Thc battlefield seems safer than thc average camp. Over the Route of the Black Diauinnd. Col. Sam W. Stairs, editor ot' thc Dover (Ky.) Rews, who recently visited Anderson in company with thc Black Diamond Railroad party, contributes the following interesting account of his trip to tho columns of his paper: At every point on the line of the Black Diamond system reached by the inspecting party, inquiries wore made for Coi. Boone, who was ex pected on the trip, and who is recog nized as the power behind thc build ing of thc great grand trunk highway of commerce, connecting tho lakes of the North with the tidewater of thc South Atlantic at Port Royal by a double-track railway wi til a maxi mum grade of (iii feet to thc mile -something heretofore considered ut terly impossible. The surveys show it can bc done. Wo congratulate Dover, saying not hing of the efforts of thc News, that this magnificent linc passes through her borders, and that thc Ohio [tiver will bc spanned within thc corporation by a million-dollar steel bridge. Thc Black Diamond Railroad has a champion and friend in Mr. J. L. Trimble, of Anderson, 8. C. lt is through his untiring work, assisted by the energetic young business men of Anderson, that thc city voted a subsidy of 6?O,000 with but one dis senting vote, and that thc City Coun cil appropriated ?400 toward defray ing expenses of inspection. To hun is duo thc unbounded enthusiasm of the people all along thc line in South Carolina and thc w hole South. He is an earnest worker, a good talker and an able writer, and best of all he has concentrated his energies in thc.direc tion of i uilding up thc Southland by connecting it with thc great Northwest by a double-track Railroad. Col. Boone's double-track proposi tion with a maximum grade of GO feet to the mile, so much ridiculed at first and branded as visionary, will prove the very agency that will build thc road. All estimates and all calcula tions are being made on a double track road, because a single track could not carry the tonnage. The location of thc linc of thc Black Diamond in South Carolina is not settled permanently as it is north of that State, and thc linal location of the route to Port Boyal, south of Ander son, depends upon where tho people want it to go. Several Lines arc prac tical, and the towns that want it most will get it; and if they don't want it, then it will bc run just w here thc com pany wants it to run, regardless of any town or community. Anderson, S. C., is thc busiest town we visited south of thc Blue Ridge mountains. The town is full of hust ling young business, men, and they make things move. Eight hundred bales of cotton were sold on the streets one day of our stay there, which was counted a dull day. We visited their electric plant a few miles from town, which is run by water power. One of the big cotton mills is run by elec tricity generated by this plant. In the two mills there are employed 750 hands. Eleven hundred and twenty looms are constantly banging away, weaving a superior grade of cotton cloth. Most of the cotton manufac tured is raised in the immediate neigh borhood of the mill. We visited the 1,200 acre farm of Mr. W. Q. Ham mond, near town. It is a model cot ton plantation, cultivated by convicts employed from the State. Mr. Ham mond has his lands terraced to prevent washing, and it shows careful manage ment in every detail. And withal Mr. Hammond is a clever gentleman. We are in receipt of copies of a neat little pamphlet, "Issaqucna," a legend of upper North Carolina, from the author, Mr. Charles S. Reid. The book is of especial interest to us be cause while in West Union, S. C., which is an endless extension of Wal halla, we were the guests of Mr. Dick Strother, the father-in-law of the au thor, and had thc pleasure of meeting the gifted young writer. Wc also visited tho Issaqucna Falls, in thc Blue Ridge mountains, near thc big tunnel on the Black Diamond cut through Stump House mountain, ono mile through solid granite. It is a beautiful romantic spot, and one cal culated to make one believe there is truth in the legend so beautifully por trayed by the author of "Issaqucna/' By the way, Dick Strother, whose hos pitality we enjoyed, is a type of the natural-born Southern gentleman, and his jolly good nature made us feel that the whole countiy was ours, the same as it seems to be "Dick" Strothers'. We are glad to see by local papers that Dick has been granted the water works privileges of Walhalla, and that he will pipe the sparkling waters from Issaqucna Falls to the thirsty deni2.ens of the 'burg' to slake their parched thirst, and we hope some day to tip glasses with him. Dick's all right. While we are offering congratula tions on thc almost absolute certainty of .the carly financiering of thc Black Diamoud Railway System, wc should not forget thc wonderful energy and ability shown by thc distinguished attorney and financier, Hon. T. C. Dickinson, of Washington, D. C.. who has taken up the financial part of the work, and has spent nearly live years of his time in Europe, at ins ow n ex pense, placing the advantages of thc road before, capitalists, and that it was through him we were enabled to pro cure thc services of the most eminent expert engineer in England, to-day if not the most prominent in thc world, Sir Thomas Tancred, to pass upon thc enterprise!. Thc genuine article of Southern hos pitality was dished out to thc inspec tion party in alopatbic doses. If there are any cleverer people on the outside of the earth than those at Knoxville and Maryland, Tenn., Clayton, Ga., Franklin, N. C., and Anderson, Beau fort and Port Royal, South Carolina, we confess wc have never met them. The people of the Southland are even more interested in the success of the Black Diamond than thc people of the North. They need the outlet north worse than we do South. But we all need it. Clayton, Georgia, will bc an impor tant point on thc Black Diamoud. It is just below thc famous Kaban Gap, and will make a nico summer resort in thc midst of thc Blue Ridge mountains. Another good point on the Black Diamond is f ranklin, N. C. It shows evidence of prosperity and is backed by a line mining section; lies in the gold belt, and is particularly adapted for a beautiful town. Thc Black Dia mond will bc the making of it. - Mr. Lemuel II. Vertier, of the Retreat section of Oconec, one of the oldest and most highly respected citi zens of tiiat county, died Saturday, 5th inst., at his home, at the advanced age of 86 years.
