THAT UNION DEPOT. Proposition Submitted by President Childs. of the C. N., & L. Railway. Pre-ident V. G. Childs. -if the C, lumbia, Newberry and Lauren rail road, ha, submitted his pr-posit.on. in the matter of the proposed uniol depot at Newberry. :o the board of raliroad commissinonrs, who have forwarded the propo:iti(Al to the see retary of the Newberry Board of Trade. Col. E. 11. A!i. The board of trade antid city c4ncil will neet today. at which time the matter will be considered. President Childs' proposition is to the effect that he will raise his track and run it nearer the Southern depot. erecting an umbrella shed between his track and the Southern depot. lie would then place his ticket agent in the Southern depot. making this ar rangenent serve the purpose or a union depot. He has had the ground surveyed by engineers and blue prints made. Following is President Childs' pro position, embodied in his letter to the railroad -commissioners: "Ii the matter of a union depot at 1eWbr'ry-'aud in- accordance with a promise to you, I had an engineer lay off a line that I think it would be practicable for me to use and put me n'ei 'Vtigh' to the -passenger depot of the Southern railroad to use that depot. This line, as you will note on the blue print herewith attached, runs just east of the eastern edge of the street that runs by the side of the :Southern passenger station. If it -would meet the approval of the com mission for both of us to use the Southern depot together. then I will take the matter up with the Southern railway company and see if an agree ment can be reached between us in that direction. it will hardly be nec essary for me to do so unless it is satisfactory to the commission." President Childs' proposition will be fully considered, but it is safe to say that it does not meet the approval - of all concerned. While there might be some advantage in an arrangement of this kind the7e would be many ob jections. Literary Address. The Hzn. H. L.

Man Mentioned In Lindsay Letter As Living nn Ohio Lives at Maul din. This State. F.iit r The lHerat and New: Since me r:tgurn to Fonntain Inn frioni your city, where was asked re peate(lly about Mr. John McNeelus. I have this day made a visit ti. his home. near Mauldins. ! found him. and I introducei ivself and told him of the letter received by Sam. L. Atchi son from one purporting to be James Lindsay. and that the letter said that he was living in Ohio. .\lr. .leNeelus said that after the surrender he spent six inm,onths in Pennsylvania. working on the rail riad, makivg.S2.oo per day as second h,ss.after which he met an oid acquain tance wht persuaded him to sell goods as a peddler. This. he said. was an easy matter. for money was plentiful in Yankeedom. .\fer hav ing followed this business for a year or two he came to Richmond. Va.. and there he spent some two or three years selling goods.as a peddler. Then he came to Greenville county, S. C.. where he has resided and sold goods for the last thirty years. He is now in his 84th year and is somewhat fee ble in body. but his mind is vigorous, especially when mention is made of the times which "tried men's souls." He is highly respected and is a wel come guest in many homes in this county. He is a master mason and greeted me as such with signs and tokens known only to brother masons. He asked me about Capt. J. C. Wilson. J. P. Blair. T. S. Blair, Col. Calvin Neel. Nathan Young, G. F. Long. Herbert Boulware, James Her bert. Levi Kibler. Thomas Maffett. J. K. G. Nance. Judge Y. J. Pope. 0. L. Schumpert. Samuel Paysinger Thomas Paysinger. and -said Henry was mortally wounded at Gettysburg. and that Jeff Gallman was as brave a soldier as ever fought for southern rights. Many others were mentioned who have gone, especially Capt. Her bert. whom he loved. Yes,. and Frank Moon and Barham Cromer.-I can't remember them all just now. Men tion was made of the verbal historian. John W. Reagin. It would interest many if he would write reminiscences of his experiences and that of his comrades. for he has it down fine. He (Mr. McNeelus) is a staunch Catholic in faith. I asked him if he and the two ladies with whom he made his home had any objection to my reading and praying with them. "No, none whatever." but only too glad for me to do so. I bade him good-bye and he sent his love to all his old friends in Newberry and asked me to write to them of him and to tell Capt. Wilson he intends to visit New berry and see the old boys as soon as his strength will admit. I never made a visit that carried more sunshine into a home than this did to his. He is not needy, but has some means. You,-each of you ed itors,-will confer a great favor upon him if you will send him the paper containing this communication. His address is Mauldins, Greenville county. S. C. Your friend. D. P. Boyd. Novelty in Handcuffs. Constable E. K. Bedenbaugh, of Prosperity, has succeeded in making a handcuff which is something new in its line. In addition to being stronger than the ordinary lock it unlocks with a combination and key, it being neces sary to work the combination and then unlock with the key, making it impossible for a prisoner, or anyone else, to unlock the handcuff even should he get possession of a key. Constable Bedenbaugh has shown it to a number of persons, including Sheriff Buford and the sheriff of Laurens, and all of them were very much pleased with the invention. Consta ble Bedenbaugh wvill very probably apply for a patent. While at work in Marx peanut fac tory. in Norfolk. Va., on Monday.

Twenty-ive dollars had afready been appropriated fur this purpose by the organizatinns in Kewberry. so that Newberry as a whole has raised nearly Sioo.
