"TO BE OB HOT TO BIS." Shall Camden Have Another Railroad! MwUac ?* Ctttum of IM Oaoatjr tail T?Md?gr. In pursuance of a call emanating from the Town Council of Cauiden, and pub lished tn last week's Issue of Thx Ga? zkttz, quite a large gathering of citizens of the town aud from several sections of the county took place at 'town Hail last Tuesday, for tho special purpose of con ferring with Col. J. D. Blundlng, of Su.ntert who ta zealously engaged In trying to secure a railroad from Charlcs ton to the West, via Sumter, Camden, Union, Gaffney City, and ltutherford ton, N. C. The meeting, which was largely at tended, was called to order by Intendant Rollings, who announced that the elec tion ol chairman and secretary was in order. Udou motion of Dr. De8aussure, W. D. Tranthain, Esq., whs elected chair man and F. P. Beard secretary. The chair stated tho purpose for which the meeting had been culled, and Intro duced Co). Blnndlng. Col. Blanding opened by saying that he did not come to make a railroad speech or a political speech; lie hud come to state facts and figured in relation to a narrow gauge railroad which It is pro posed to run from Kentucky and the West to the Atlnntic seaboard, via Ruth erfordton, N. C., Gaffney City, Spartan burg, Union, Camden and Sumter, S. C., crossing tho Cumberland aiu{ tho Blue Ridge mountains and opening an outlet i to tho sea-coast for tho immense quanti ties of coal and iron in those mountains. The work is progressing rapidly at tho other end ; the people aro in earnest; three counties in North Carolina had subscribed liberally aud several town ships in Spartanburg had voted heavily CP build this road. One or two town sntos will hold elections next Saturday to wiy how much they will subscribe. Cal. Rlandlng drew a comparison be t ween?4iroiid>--gnTTg8 and narrow gauge roads In our sparsely settled country, as to cost of construction and profits. The North has a surplus of money, and her capitalists aro seeking Investments In the South. IIo then went on to give a his tory of his work as president of tho G. A N. C. R. R., and the obstacles which ho had met; but now he thought the Railroad Commission act would remove all danger of such obstacles again being encountered. Col. Blandlng spoke for over an hour and was most attentively listened to. At the conclusion of his remarks, on motion the chair appointed a committee of fifteen for tho purpose of agitating the subject before tho people and gathering such information tin -may be practicable concerning tho subject under discus sion, with power to call meetings for the purpose of confcrlng, ?!fce.

I feel It my duty to plaeo In n oler.r and distinct light Dcloro this community what imixt bo done If wo really and earnestly In tend to tnnko the Graded (School ti nourish ing InKtitutlo ' ? For rlils purpose I nm writ ing a series of short articles to tho newspa pers weekly on one point at a time. This week 1 shall deal with taking an In terest In the scuool, and supporting deserv ing teachers. I explained In my address what I meant by hiking an Interest In the school, viz: tlmt when reports of whatever kind wero circulated about tho school, or ac counts brought homo by pupils about what goes on at school, you do not lot tho matter rest there, but Inquire Into It, request the trustees to Investigate, come to the school house yourselves or ask me, or In some of i those ways tlnd out tho exact truth. Noth ing so tonds to Impedo education nnd break down school u as uninvestigated reports. 1 warn you again that your graded sciiool can not be made a success unless tlto whole truth and nothing but tho truth in all matters Is brought out. It will not do to trust Implicit ly to tho'roports brought homo by scholurs. They may not mean to convoy false Impres sions; but their minds aro not mature; they aro not capable oi forming a correct opinion, and aro prone to exaggerate: while many oi the matters on hand requlro practical busi ness knowledge to understand. Would you treat your chlldrou lu the other at!'alrs or life as If they were capable of transacting your own business for you? Again, it is tho sorrowful experience of all teachers thai most boys at least, iniiko oveiy effort to break down .a school, particularly when It Urst starts; nnd look upon their teacher as their mortal enemy, till lie mav happen to win their respect and esteem, whom they must try In ovory way to dofeat. Is It to be expected, then, that the accounts they brlri? homo Will bo entirely candid and Impartial? In ract this thing of talebearing Is their rnosj powerful weapon to oppose a teacher, especially a good dlscloltnarlun. 'TIb strange, 'tis passing strange, that tho teachoryshould not have tho sAino fair play and impartial hearing of both sides of tho question as tho very culprit at tho bur of Jus tice. I Would call upon you to act In these _ JUII IV IlUt 111 IIICBU matters as falrmlnded, onl'ghtened men. And, I would impress with ull the earnest ness In my power on your mliul, tho unite luble fact that tho deareti Interests of youi lives nnd your children are at stake, nc line, nnd ir you suffer this enterprise to rc ill In failure, your children, not tho tcach rs, will be tho sufferers.
