PUBLISHED RVKUY T1IUR8DAY WILL A!,WAYS UK FOUND HKLIA I\J,K IX M ATTVPtJ wijh'o .-?-i? THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1888. TOO MUCH FAMILY IX IT. Irregularity and Uncertainty of Train* on W. C. <V C. 11. It. Wild-cat Schedules. The Vandorbilt 44'the public be damned'M schedule continues to be run on the W, (J. &. C. R. R., notwithstanding the vehement protest.* of eiti/ens. Wo anticipated tho adoption vr this schedule when the railroad authorities discontinued the mails on the fast mails. Xos. 18 and * 11. The discontinuance was experimental to find out how the citi/dns would take it, and all at once wholly discontinue to suit their convenience. It really seems that the older Chad bourns have in vested tlioir money in this railroad as a plaything for their boys. Nobody knows how much money thov have invested. The amount put in may be very insignificant for aught the public knows to the contrary. No accounting has ever been had to determine who is the larger owner?the four subscribing townships, or the Moss. Chadbourn. The reckless way in which the "boys" an* managing the road would indicate the investment to be very light, or the older Clmdoourns are more careless with their investments than they usually have credit for. It is our earnest to see the road succeed, and v. ! co not the slightest doubt but with proper management it would succeed handsomely. The convenience of the traveling public must be considered .and consulted. To wait two or three hours bevond schedule time for starting for two or three flat ears and then deliberately pull out from Chadbourn when the \V. C. &. A. train is in sight and knowing there i* passengers aboard hound for Conway is a fair sample of accommodation on ? the W. C. &. C. Railroad. It makes no difference* as to the running snood of the schedule adopted the trains are almost invariably behind time on arrival. The speed of the present schedule from Clmdbourn to Conway is three hours and thirty minutes, and yet last Tuesday the train arrived here about two hours behind time. Parties from a distance have inquired of friends hero how to make con nection with the Conway train and before the time appointed for coming, some arbitrary change in schedule was made and thus both parties were disappointed. We are sometimes inclined to think tho immediate controller of tho whiOiinir manage. r"> inent, or rather mismanagement, was born under the sinister influences of an East wind and therefore not responsiblo for his actions. Last week Congressman Dargan was expected to come to Conway, but could not reach here on account of an arbitrary withdrawal of two trains. lie could have como by lying over at Chadbourn several hours, hut we presume he prudently come to the conclusion that he had no Christianity to lose and so passed on to Washington. We wrote last week to the Marion and Marlboro papors instructing the delegates to the District Conference hero how to make close connection with tho Conway ^aiii, !l rwl n/?vv i ifil V Invn^c loK/\r ??M\< II\?

Wo write all these things regretn n fully and sorrowfully, and were it not that a portion of TCounty is vitally concerned end immediately * i i *i interested in the financial success of the nfad the "boys" could run it into bankruptcy or any other seaport they choose without any protest from us. This wo are assured of, that if they use it as a plaything much longer somebody else will take charge of the bat. Kditok Ilo it by Hkkai.h: 1 received a notice from the Auditor that the Board of Kquali/ation had increased my assessment $31.00. 1 think the Board must bo composed of men of great information or they think they have. I would like ta know who is the best judge of property the ono who owns and uses it, or one who knows nothing about it. But 1 suppose they wanted to do something- -make some change, or bo considered useless, ns tlinv sir?? For, why sond round a man on big wages to conscientious men to tell him what their property is worth, and when they tell him as near as they can and he takes the assessment down and then the Auditor calls in n lot of pettifoggers, who never saw us nor the property they pretend to assess and they say it is worth so and so. I do not care for the small addition, Bii i hill spring, cared fyr the young chil- n dren, did countless other duties, and v aided her husband besides in the e * .? .w 4Vn VVSVS* 1 see in the Hkkai.I) an inquiry for some sugggestion to lessen taxes. 1 would suggest doing awav with j Equalizing Hoards, Assessors and J Auditors, and le; the County Slierj iff collect the taxes as in our sister State, N. C. M. i\ Ci.akoy. If all the ollicers above mentioned I are dispersed with how can the Sin-riff collect taxes? Who "prepares the tax duplicates for collection? And who makes the assessments? 10?>. Spring ltrnneh Items. W e are at this writing, having fine Spring weather, and the vegeta- , tion j>1111iilg forth, with beauty. Tlii?i .r I.? ' 4 -v . boon very wot, but believe the farmers aro all dune planting corn; sonic replanting. There is very little cot| ton planted in this section. This is the part of Horry where the farmers believe in lio^r and hominy. They live at home arid board at the same j place. The prospect bills fair for a oood fruit crop, and will have unless Mr. Hick's predictions of storms and frost I come true. We have no pastor this year at Spring Branch Baptist Church. Wo j have been blessed with Mro. A. W. Price's services for four years. He was induced to leave us and <*o to Laurinburrr, N.C. Wo have a flourishinu lit' le Sunday-school, and miobt have :?s laroe if not larger j ? O than any other church in the County j if all would take an interest. We : I have preaehino occasionally. Mro. j Blount, of Hoboson County, X. C.. 1 j has preached for us twice and left ! his appointment for the second Sab. I bath in May. A cock lighter from Wilminypon 'met with Mr I )iek Buttles. of l!o rv ' I at Nichols April 2nd and carried ",v i the prize, killing seventeen of his 1 i choice cocks. Wo have a Farmers' Alliance organized at this pUteo and is inoreasin?* in niemhership rapidlv. The or- r gani/ation nutnhors about thirtv-sev- 1 on males ami ten females, and he- ' lievo every jjood farmer should hej lone (n the sociot v. This writing is from the extreme Northwest of the County, and I see hut few t-nhscrihers in this section, hut more this season than usual, ami ! do think year valuable paper should ho in every farmer's house. The health of this vicinity is jrood only one person confined to his room. Mr. Walter S Porter has been confined in doors for two months or more, from natural disability. Rospectfully, Si lts* itinr.i:. V I 'to 1 in* J l ?o*4 !>ni ii i irniN. The peop'lo hero are rejoiced at the popularity of the 'IIkhai.d, ami won hi more generally subscribe if the mail facilities were greater. Efforts are being made to establish a P. C). at Union. (Lewis Store.) We hope the good people in this vicinity will continue their efforts until tho P O. is established. Preparation for planting are nearly completed and some are already done planting corn, rice, etc., and are beginning to plant cotton. There will be a much larger crop of cotton planted in this community, than usual. Mrs. W. S. Cooper is very sick, j d^easo unknown to the writer. Mr. George Jones lias been coni fined to the house over since last October. Miss G. A. Robert, of Georgia, is vrsiting relatives in Horry. Our Sunday School at Pisgah is not as good as might lie hoped for. If "hard times" expects to have any thing like a good time here he had better make haste b 'fore '!m present crop is harvested, c. w. i. A Correction of Wrong lienor's. 77> the citizens of Comren/, mho seem to he interested in the mends of the A. Af. Tj. church: I take tiio method of putting before you the efforts of said church to raise moans to liquidate certain honest debts that is i now due. Wo have as you know the hull of a church not quite completed outside, and all of its internal | works not yet commenced, with the amount of fifty dollars, now due, on what has been done. This was the true condition of the church when 1 took charge of 'it.- After 1 had taken in the situation I found myself necessarily compelled to put forth all honorable efforts to meet the urgent demands. Our first step was a neck-tie on uignzWies, etc. The ('nlthtotor rould urge upon every person intersted in this matter to, rnramnninsto 111roe societies, viz: i'lio Stewardesses I Milliliters of Conference ami I buighiors of /ion. I offered to the society that raised the most money a two dollar gold piece. The young people passed the time ofT l>v walking for a cake pr pared for that purpose. lioth of the entertainments were a success. Now I ask which is more Christian like, to si' in the chair of sanctity and make no efforts to pay our honest del>ts? ot to o\(?rt ourselves in injr our debts? This stents to me 1'ke too much religion. It is upon I'harasaieal order. \\? look at the irrcat churehes ??f this country and 'Mnolan 1, whoso foundations nro based ?ip?if? tho highest jilano of < 'Itristinn civilization, whose preachers are lirofoun I thinkers, and liiblo students, I mean amonjr our whito brethren, and win so cliuroliosjaro worthltheir thousands tr? our rents, all indulge ' n or fir-1? jirosentod these social featherings, such as festivals, picnics, excursions etc. and why should we who are just struojrlinjr out of darknes' to !i;d't stop and back our ears, and say it is a sin. Kxcesses in anvtliine* is a '-in. The very idea is absurd. It is like oatehinir at the wind. If we haye any lioht itt- all we oet it from the white people of his country. Our first lessons of <'hr-is? they crave them us. (>ur first ? n 'essons or refinement and civilization we ?r()t it from them. Their religion is o-1 religion. Now what we need - to pii* in praetieal use those errand orineioles of (Christianity and do awry with those old foo-\- and superstitious ideas that have so loner invaiIiw1 itnr iittnflc ?i?wl lot *?^ *? ????? .?? tl>A 11*?i<? j>ri*ir*ij?:?Iv of ('liristianif v, which is !

Wo also ask your libera! lu?In in the completion of our Church. 1\. K. I'ki.mus. l>astc>r. To ( he i-'n nnri's. The more we see and learn of the nailers' Alliance the more we afe inclined to speak of its merits and recommend it as the best thing over offered our farmery. It is cortainlv the host and most thoroughly organized body that it has ever boon our lot to become acquainted with. It shows that wisdom and true brain work are its foundation. Some of our merchants*, however, seoin to think bocjuise thev are ineligible, tlmt it is a movement directed entirely against. their intorost. In this thev are entirely mistaken. It seeks not t'? array one o*ass against another. \'ot to hone lit one class hy jml-j lin?r down another, nut merely to protect and !>o:ief 11 the farmer and to lessen his burdens in life. It seeks to adopt a cash system of trade that will do away with the mortoaoe system. Viewing these features of the Alliance in i casual wav the nior chants tnav suppose that it will prove to his detriment, but while it orevonV his making such enormous profits oil his jpiods, it will ultimately prove a blessing, oven to him, for it will ffivo him more trade and much easier business with less vexation and annoyance than most merchants now experience. Where the Alliance is more thoroughly organized than in our own ? O State, cotton yards can be established where the farmers can deposit their cotton, and it is so arranged with the hank that ho is allowed to draw thrco-fourths of its mine in ciisli. This arrangement enables I)iin to hold his cotton and other products-and not ho obliged to sell at a sacrilioo as manv were ccnipolled to do last fall. ISy concert of action then the price can he raised to something like the cost of production. The merchant calculates the cost of his wares before ho sells and why not the farmer do the same? Just as loiio as the manufacturer is allowed to price the farmer's j^oods the same as his own, just so lon?r will the farmer suffer at the hands of tho nnnufacturer, for the reason the farmer is-eonsumer as well as producer. Already have offors been made from fertilizing companies to furnish ^^^^WunTstc^Tu^uthe^xhMhiiMluH collections are exactly one dollar less than ' they Used to 1 < . Minister's Wife Nothing odd about..}t, J arc negotiating with manuafaoturets and wholesale houses for supplies necessary for the agriculturist. We do not see, therefore, why the farmer shall not he greatly benefited by this move in the right direction. It is a stubborn and lamentable fact that our farmers as a class are becoming poorer and poorer every year and it seems thnfc there was no alternative ! but for many of them to become veritable serfs, as is the case with the laboring class of Ireland to-day: ''There is yet a balm intiilead." Wo urge the farmers then everywhere t< unite themselves on this grand ...A. f-? . I . 1 jv-iiihih" 101 meir reeomiUlon. II \ oil ? have no Alliance ;u\ir you whore Von can join then call on ono of our organizers and start ono at oner. The cost is a tnero pittance compared with wlmt is saved. It is said 1>\ some, wlto don't know, that one or two men at head quarters are jrottint" rich ofT the proceeds of tic Alliance, Whilo all Alliance men know that this is not true, vet were it true, is it not hotter that we make one or tw< ; rich and benefit our class, than t< j make millionairs out/^^miuiv and mpo <!r>d a m i / > fa r 1 innco an <|Hs burdi 'h*8' & heavy to , \\3. W (Fro The 11e;?i-iy^f e i s of < .Vill<r historical continued for adjournid^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B * o ? 111 lio-lil n j) 11 ? i <j i o l workino of termined ininoritv Ims^^^^jmvor to ]>rovout legislation by dilatory tactics. The issues on which the 1 louse was divided, to the shameful delay ano ?mbarressmeiit of other important business, were those: The inajo?it\ of the .1 udicarv Committee i hold in regard to the direct tax bill of 1 JSC* 1 that it should either be collected in full, or abandoned, and rejsti'.ution made to those who have | paid. The minority claim lint as the Ciovernment, in the exercise of a constitfTtional power, laid and cof^ lected this tax, and applied it to a constitutional purpose- - - that of the common defense - - those who paid it, whether States c, citizens, have no 'claim either in law or equity for the i return of any part of it. As for j those who have not paid, the GovI eminent has concluded to treat all i further obligation to pay as canceled. ! This is the case in brief. The bill has not yet even been | touched. Tuesday and Wednesday jhad been set apart for the discussion I of the bill but both days were filibustered away and tho remainder of I tho weok went in tho same way. A * vote for adjournment could not be 'reached, and consequently the bill ; could not bo laid aside. Several times during the deadlock it was discovered after a ro! oess that there was not r. quorum .present. Then there would bo a call of tho House. Tho doors would be locked and tho Serjeant-at-Arms and his assistants would go out in quest of the absentees. The victims would be brought in singly and in squads and placed at ^ho bar of the House where they were required to ox plain their delinquency. As usual a great deat of merriment was created by tho excuses by the pri sorters who were badly guved by their colleagues, much to the entern 7 : tftinmont of the galleries. A popular excuse among to captured Con! pressman was that they had boer. absent getting something to eat. Ideadlocks in the House are not frequent. One of the most notable however was when the democrats tried to defeat the counting in of J Iayes, and this was only broken when j at \ o'clock on tho morning of Fri> day, March 2nd., 1^77, Mr. Randall, who was in the Chair, absolutely declined to entertain any further dilatory motions, and instructed tho clerk of the IIoubo to inform to Senate that tho House was ready to proceed with the count. It was i crisis in thokhistory of tho country. Mr. | Hayes was in Ohio, and only, fortyeight hours of President Grant's term renyiinod. When another filibustering motion was about to bo President- -drover Cleveland, of New York, to Murch 4th 1839. j . ki'muvivi ouvuvijf Wit Mill lilt? Jtt* i risdiction of the Chair and not appealable. This broke the backbone i i of the deadlock, and within an lionr 11 Mr. Hayes was declared to have rei ceived a majority of tho electoral l votes cast. Mr. Randall really made the be| * ' jtfinninjf of bis reputation many years ajjo in (ilibiisterino aoainst what is n r> r? > now known as the 'Force bill,' a licensure which proposed to place i troops at the polls in the South. : The wonder still <rrows, 'Who will the President appoint to the Chief ) Justiceship of the I i.ited States.' 1 If it he true that he said la* would i not promote an Assoc'do Ju-t ?o; i that lie would not select a Soulic n man; that lie will not take a man )'over sixty years of ajre, etc., tliere I are not so many possibilities for the ' position after avl 1.
