COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 24-G p. m.
The Legislature to-day held an elec
tion for Superintendent of the Peni
tentiary and member of the State
Board of Control, and both Col. W. A
Heal and Mr. J. B. Dont Mt, who weie
candidates for re-election to their re
spective positions, were defeated.
Senator D. J. Griffith, of Lexington,
was elected to succeed Col. Neal, and
T. Clins. Robinson, of Pickeus, suc
ceeds Mr. Dont hit.
Both were elected on first ballot.
The Neal vote was 33. L. E. N.
Gov. Ellerbe luis made no answer, ns
yet, to the charges made against him
by the Columbia State.
Ex-Governor Evans is not Mayor ot*
Havana, after all. He is in the "de
partment of corrections," whatever
that is.
The Philippines say the United State:
have no right to govern them, and that
they will fight as hard for their liberty
now as they did under Spanish misrule.
An interesting question just now is,
"what have we got for our $20,000,
000 P
- ? ?
"The United States of Central Amer
ica*"--the name of the new federated
republics-have adopted our constitu
tion in. the main. lt is a compliment
to the sagacity of our forefathers-for
parties may come and parties may go,
but the constitution prevails forever.
The proposition now before Congress
to abolish prize and head money, now
allowed in the navy in war, should
prevail. This booty system is a relic
of barbaric warfare and should be
abandoned by civilized nations. It no
longer prevails in the army and it
should, be abolished in the navy.
. When South Carolina grocers sell
South Carolina Hour, meal, bacon,
hams, hay and other necessary et
ceteras exclusively,?.then will agricul
tural ?prosperity embrace our farmers.
South Caroliuapossesesallelements ex
cept properly directed energy to bring
about such a state of affairs.
It is evident now that President Mc
Kinley has once again changed, or is j 1
in the throes of changing his mind
over the disposition that should be
made of the Philippines; and it is not
Tinlikely now that his plan of govern- j1
ing the islands will be finally modeled
to an imitation of the government that |{
ha? been mapped out for Cuba.
Mr. Roberts, who has been ciected to <
Congress from Utah, should be fired 1
bodily from the House of Repr?senta- i
tives upon the assembling of the new ?
Congress. This country cannot afford t
to tolerate a polygamist as a lawmak- i
er, especially one who has been tried,
convicted, and punished by fine, itu- J J1
prisonment and disfranchisement, and | I
who still openly violates the law. His
case is one which no man can consider
from other than a moral standpoint,
neither can the immorality of other
Congressmen be urged as a justifica
tion in his behalf. Men may go to
Congress who favor free trade, free
silver, free transportation, or even free
whiskey, but when it conies to free and
unlimited love the line of demarcation
has been reached. The parting of the
ways, so to speak, has been arrived at.
All parties are agreed on the neces
sity for a canal across the isthmus,
'thus connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans. This unanimity of pub
lic sentiment is in accord ?with the
well-known phrase, "westward the
star of empire takes its way." In other
words, the Pacific is destined to become
the world's great waterway, and our
western civilization will push hard
against the east. Distance is practi
cally annihilated. Telegraph, tele
phone and cable encircle the globe.
Railways and steamships unite all peo
ples. Ignorance is being banished.
Prejudice is giving way to justice and
truth and mercy. A link in the chain
is this Nicaraugan canal. The com
mission which has been investigating
on behalf of this government says we
can construct the big ditch at a cost of
$123,0(0,000. It will be20 feet deep,
181 miles long, and from 50 to 80 feet
wide at the bottom.
While Congress will be engaged in
re-organizing the standing anny, in
dividual States will have their own
militia organization to look af ter. lu
many Staters thc militia is and has been
ona good basis, butin many others
little interest is taken in this arm of
the national guard, and South (Jaro
lina is one of them. While New York
has spent hundreds of thousands on
her militia, South Carolina contributed
but $8,000 hist year. The equipment
of the militia ia other States is of a
very superior order, while in South
Carolina it is almost nothing in com
parison. It has been reported that
friends of the militia will make an
effort to have, thc appropriation in
creased this year. Thc experience in
camp of the volunteers has shown
them what is necessary to make a sol
dier, and their training last summer
will no doubt have its al ter effect upon
the militia, for there seems to !>?. a
stronger interest manifested in 7uilitia
matters.

COLUMBIA LETTEIi.
The Littest News from tho Legislature.
Kliecial Correspondence of Intelligencer.
COLOMBIA, S. C., Jan. 23, 1890.
Tho Legislature enters to-day upon
its third week. More than two hun
dred and fifty bills have been intro
duced, and others are being prepared
in the engrossing department; lint the
impression still prevails that the length
(d' ihe session w ill not renell forty days.
Ali interest now centres in lin: elec
tions set for to-morrow at noon, and it
would appear from a concurrent reso
huion agreed to thara deadlock is ex
pected. This r?solution provides that
if no election bc d?clar?e', by 2 o'clock,
n. m., the Joint Assembly shall taken
recess tintilla p.m. The election of
a Superintendent oft be Penitentiary
overshadows al! others, and, indeed, I
might add, all oilier business and very
little will be done until (his mattcris
disposed of.
Col. Neal is still thc strong num.
ilis friends are hard at work and are
quite sure, of success. It developes
that (he Ellerbo-Gonzalos affair is not
operating as strongly against Col. Neal
as it was thought, it would do; anti,
inasmuch as his efficiency ami record
for thc past six years cannot be assail
ed at any point, his opponents and
their friends can present, only two
points to bc com batt ed, thc first being
thc idea of rotation in office and the
other is his scathing denunciation of
the administration of John (Jury Evans
as set forth in his recent address pub
lished in the ?State. Iiis honesty and
earnest solicitude for thc wellbeing of
the entire people of tin; State is not
doubted or questioned.
As to Col. Neal's strongest opponents.
Mr. Griffith and Mr. Crura, a week ago
Mr. Griffith was thc stronger, and had
the election taken place at that time,
he would have been the man upon
whose shoulders thc man tlc would have
fallen if Col. Neal's strength be over
estimated; but this is not the case now.
Mr. Urum is the stronger man, and
indications point quite plainly to the
fact that in thc event Col. Neal is de
feated. Mr. Cram will bc the next
Superintendent of the Penitentiary.
Please bear in mind tiiat this state
ment is not intended to admit of the
interpretation that Col. Neal's friends
show any signs of weakening. This is
not the case, and to thc contrary he
has grown stronger during the past
week.
Notwithstanding the fae;, thar this
election is claiming the attention of a
large majority of thc solons, a bill will
to-day be introduced looking to the
total annihilation of the State Dispen
sary, and will precipitate a fight,
(vhich, taken with the fight over the
election of a Superintendent of the
Penitentiary, will make this week the
uost eventful the Legislature has
gassed through for years. At the be
ginning of last week indications point
id very strongly to the introduction of
i bill, providing for the submission to
;he entire State at the next general
ilection all the questions of prohibition,
iispensary or high license, but during
;he past week a self-constituted com
nittee of members (among whom was
>ur popular Representative, li. B. A.
dobinson,) who, after careful conside
ration, have prepared a bill which is
'licha compromise as will meet with
he appioval of the majority of the
nembers and deal a death blow to the
Jrate Dispensary. It may precipitate
i long, barJ fight, it may be amended,
mt, "The" State Dispensary "shall
eel io and fro like a drunkard, and
hall be removal like a cottage, and
he transgressions thereof shall be
teary upon it: and ir shall tali ami not
iso again."
This bill empowers ami requires the
bounties to own and control the local
)ispensaries; provides for local option
s to dispensary or prohibitipn, and to
lose out the Slate Dispensary. It pro
ides tba: the County control of local
lispensaries shall take effect July 1st
icxt, and that tho question as to pro
ibition or dispensary be submitted to
>e voted upon at the next general elec
ion. The idea is that if the State. Dis
ensary is unsatisfactory in its man
gement-and Governor Ellerbe says
t is in his Message-to take the Coun
y control of local Dispensaries home
nd try it for the time intervening be
reen now and the next general elec
Lou, and if it prove, satisfactory to the
copie keep it; if not, tin- General As
rmbly meets one year front now, af

.ct by inserting a provision for high
cense or, in any event, settling thc
latter to suit tin- people :tt the general
lection.

Talk about New Railroads.
MACON, GA., Jan. 19.-It has develo
ped that Macon men arc interested in
another railroad. It was said at one
time that no railroad scheme on earth,
no matter how alluring, would ever
capture any Macon money, and it has
not.in fact transpired that actual cash
investment is involved in thc lending
of thc names of the Macon people to
tlie undertaking to build a road from
Anderson, S. C., to Carabolle, Fla., but
certain it is that .Messrs. George A.
Smith, the president of I he chamber ol'
cmimerce, Mr. Howard Smith and Mr.
T. J. Carling appear among the incor
por?t ors of a road to be built between
these two points.
The charter for the road is now be
ing applied for in the counties through
which the road runs, lt is an impor
tant and a daring venture. English
capital is. it is said, behind the scheme,
but just who the men are it is not yet
given out. In fact the whole under
taking seems to bc shrouded in a good
deal of mystery and the incorporal ors
have kept the plans of tho road a pro
found secret so that the announcement
that they wer?' interested in a railroad
seems to have created no small sensa
tion.
Mr. George A. Smith, speaking of the
matter, said that the road would be
baili, and that it would be a big thing
for the whole South in that the road
was destined to play a very important
part in the future of business with the
southern ports and Nicaragua trade.
The iucorporators seem to think that
there is ample money here for the un
dertaking, tl\at is to say that the money
will bc forthcoming when thc English
men are called upon to put it up. They
will themselves take stock in the road.
It. is said that the road is an outcome
orin connection with the Black Dia
mond road about which so much has
been said in the newspapers.-Atlanta
Journal.
A special io the Cincinnati Commer
cial-Tribune from Vincennes, Indiana,
says: The Vincennes. Vevay and South
Atlantic branch of tin- Black Diamond
Railway met here to-day. '1 he con
traer for constructing the double-track
railroad, 204 miles in length, was let to
Colonel Albert E. Boone, (d' Zanesville,
Ohio, tor $10,000,000. This includes a
branch from Fredericksburg to Jeifer
sonville. Work will begin May 1. 1890,
at Petersburg and will be pushed in
both directions. Col. Boone also has
the contracts for constructing the road
in the States of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Ohio at an aggregate cost of $50,
750,000. J. M. Scott, President of the
Vevay. Bank, was elected Third Vice
President of the road.
Col. Albert E. Boone now has con
tracts signed up for the different divis
ions of the Black Diamond System of
Railways, aggregating over$50,000,000.
All of these are in the name of Albert
E. Boone and altogether.make the
largest contract ever held by a single
individual in the United States. Ir is
through him that all contracts for
actual work can be put. in loree at all
available points along the line simulta
neously, as soon as the. money is ready
for the work. This will insure rapid
construction, for when the suit-eon
tractors get down to work after that
money you will see the dirt fly.-Dover

The '-Good Shepherd" who gave his
life for his sheep has taken another
lamb to his bosom. On Dec. 19th
Marjorv, the six-year-old daughter ot
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Willson was called
to come up higher to dwell in greener
pastures, beside stiller waters than
these of her earthly home. We, the
Belton Baptist Sunday School, mourn
with tile parents the loss of Marjory,
who was a faithful member (d' our In
fant Class, but we rejoice in the. knowl
edge that she shall neither hunger nor
thirst anymore but henceforth lie led
and fed by the "Lamb upon the
Throne."
