"A VOIC1C FROM 'POSSUM HOLLOW' "Now, in the name of all ihe gods at once, Upon what meat dees tLis, our Cajsar food, That lie lias grown so great." The editor of the Poo Deo Index last week road us u long and supercilious lecture because wo had trie termerity to differ with him ou certain financial and political questions. His stylo somewhat on the sophormo ric order reminding one of the strutting antics of a certain barnyard biped just after doffing his pinfeathera and attaining the use of his masculine voice. The week before, he Hew at Senator Smith, as ho supposed, hecause he found him prostrate an J viciously attempted to pick his eyes out and otherwise annoy and irritate him. He showed his gallinaceous pugnacity hy waiting for the Senator to bo piaoed hors- de-combat and deprived of his gaffs before his daughty attack. The Index says we have no "word j of censure or disapproval of the effort which has been made to got Judge Melton to run as the Republican candidate against Governor Tillman for the Governorship.'* What an idea! We rave no more influence with the Republicans than we have with Tillmanites, and nothing we could say would affect the result. We did say when the agitation for Republican nominations first began that the honor would be an'emptyone and say now it is folly; for the nominee stnrsds no more chance of being IK elected than Gov. Tillman does of j being defeated and there is not n shade of a shadow of doubt about i that. i "Our friend betrays that same old imperious, holier-than-thou disposi tioii when he arrogates to the conservative faction nothing but the purest motives and yet denies them to the Tillman faction. We cannot see how Editor Norton can assure us that the Conservatives will not bolt Tillman's nomination, in the face of open refusals to vote for him at the general election, while he has not heard of any refusals on the parts of Tillmanites not to vote for C levo land." Is the simplo expression of nn opinion an indication of tin ' imperious disposition"? We- arrogated nothing and denied nothing, but simply expressed an opinion which opinion was based upon the public | declarations of prominent Tillman* i t ch and Conservatives. Let our friend examine the proceedings of | the Conservative March convention, and the May Convention composed mainly of Tillmanites, t?nd the utterances of the delegates sent to Chicago, and then suy if we did not have ample ground for our opinion. Tlie meaning of the lust sentence above is very much involved in doubt. We livo in l'ossom hollow and feed on persimmons (if you please "sim ems" is the Horry veracular) and may have forgotten a good deal about the usago of the English language but when we used to go to school in Marion County "while he has not heard of any refusals on the parts of Tilltnanitcs not to vote for Cleveland" means that "ho has not heard of'' any declaration "on the part of Tillnianitcs to vote for Cleveland." A refusal to vote for a man cannot mean the same thing as a refusal not to vote the man. So, until the proceedings of the September Convention were published the Index was about right. Some Tillmanitos say they would as soon vote for Harrison as Cleveland, as we have been informed. On the vexed financial question we know so little, that, \vc do not euro to expose our ignorance on the subject and content oursolf ny simply asking: Does our friend know how much silver would be put in circulation by free coinage more than is now put, monthly or annually? Who would he the main beneficiaries of free coinage? How would the silver get into circulation? Who is the ueirer iriona to tlie tanner the goldbug or silver fish and why? If In| dia produces such "immense quantities" of cotton as to control the price in Europe had not the Southern fanner better voluntarily retire from the business, before being forced out? Where is the price of cotton fixed, in u geld or silver country? Does India produce enough cotton to run the European mills one month? Does the less control the larger amount in price, and why? N. W, &C. RAILROAD. Engineer Hunk's report to the Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleso i? o.. -/ .1 ii Hi ii. uu. ox luc resources 01 ino country, tho physical conditions and traffic along tho lowland belt stretching from Norfolk Vn., to Charleston, S. C. is rory interesting. The beautiful rod lines connecting Ccnway with tho cities of the Atlantic coast look exceedingly well on the map. From tho very favorable report, it seems a wonder that this part of the country lias not been entered before. "In the rapid development of the South's splendid resources," says the Manufacturer's Record, "during the past few years, by tho construction of new railroads, it seems strange that comparatively so little attention has beon paid to the rich stretch of territory extending south from Norfolk Va., for several hundred miles along the Atlantic seaboard, and varying in width from twonty-fivo to fifty miles. At first thought it might be said that this territory is already occupied by the Atlantic Coast Lino, but a glance at the map will show, that road is located for the greater part of its length a very considerable distance inland from tho coast, and that there is a large expanse of country east of it, which is almost without railroad facilities." This territory lias been surveyed by the engineers of the N. W. & C. It. It. preparatory to entry. The projected route passes through a splonded country all the way. Says Mnior I'nsh' "Thii pnniiimr m? ^ ........ ? ><v uviiiivi j i Ksin viwu " lestonjllarbor, north to Norfolk for variety and extent of resources, for fertility of soil, [and productive capacit y, as regards both quality and quantity, for its cotton, varieties of fruit and vegetables, and for its healthy and agreeable climatic conditions, is a region with which no other seven thousand square miles in the tor tory of the United States is fairly comparable. Millions of acres of )H1IY HKKA-L tho finost forest of nil kinds of timber ore tributary to the railroad and are capable of supplying immediate and continuous traffic." With such favorable conditions it lookbxsif the railroad would certainly be built. There's money in it for the railroad and for the country through which it passes. Lumber and inanufueturing will at no distant day become principle industries in this part of tho coun try. Truck farming would have! long ago been an industry hero if there had been means of rapid ex* | port. With greater facilities furl transportation will come more pro ducts to be transported, an increase j ol' non producers; a greater variety ! of industry will develope and we will | bo on a bottorbasis generally. The road, "Will cross the boundry , between North and South Carolina in the North-west corner of Little! ltiver Township and the JWaccntnaw River near Bucksville; thence in South Carolina in the direction of Port liarrelsot), crossing the Peel Dec River above the confluence with Bull Creek.'' Thus may ho opened i a part of the country, as yet undeveloped; but capable of furnishing as fine timber and good crops as any on the whole line. Over in the eastern corner of our county the swamps are full of the best of cypress, oak, gum and other timbers. Properly drain od these lands will produce trout 0;vi? i.. i 1 i i i ? oiaij hi luic mi mi rot ousncis oi corn to the aero. Oftho ''characteristics and resources" of this section Major Husk says in his report: "On ttio upper Waceamaw, and contiguous to the route of the Norfolk, Wilmington and ('hat lesion Railroad, there is produced annually 3,COO barrels of turpentine, 18,000 barrels of rosin, and our COO bales of cotton. "From the boundary lino between the Carolinas to Conway, K. C., a distance of twenty miles the line is projected through a timbered and farming section?tho timber con sisting of long and short-leaf Fine and some Oak, on the highlands; on the Waccnmaw River and creeks, Cypress, black and sweet gum provails. "The farming land on the Waceamaw and minor water courses is very productive. Cotton is tho staple product; turpentine, rosin, and tar are largely produced. To cross the Waceamaw river at (Jonway will require a bridge one hundred feet long, with a draw. "The country is uniformly level, light grading. Phu soil is a light sandy loam, largely cultivated it) pa! lah* />nl I i ml w\?? ?o v v* v vv * 1 y I* ii ' * V. 41 l I I ? <41 I'M? J ^ I I 11/ I I. J I 1j the planters finding it tin; most available crop to market on account of the present modes of transportation, which is now by steamboat to Georgetown, and from there by 6oagoing ships to home and foreign ports. The acreage in cotton in 1890 wusuouhlo what it was in 1880. Ilorrv County promises to be a great cotton growing section of South Carolina. "From Conway to the Fee Deo lliver, tho lino will pass through scattering and indifferent timbers, some improved lands and savannahs two or three miles in length. On the cast of the lino and along the line of the Waccatnaw there is a grout deal of yellow and short-leaf pine standing, and on the grounds along the river, subject to ovorllow, Cypress, Poplar, Ash and Gum." This is the route through tho county and that the railroad men know of our resource?. They arc not j flattering at all, but if any thing, all is not told. It would bo entirely unnecessary to add more particularly where the road would do for us. The Engineers' report, of course, looks upon the matter from the standpoint of the railroad and what money the line could make. It does not mention the great stimulation that rapid transit would have upon trade, agriculture, etc., nor the re s u I tan ts of the opening up in the enhanced value of land, the increased population, and the splendid opening for wood and cotton factories. The fish industry in this county is already developing fast, even under present conditions. With the transporting facilities given by this now road; the direct connection with cities in the interior, wo may expect Long Hay to be lined with fishing camps. This is destined to become a most profitable industry here. As it is orders, for weekly supplies of fish for the interior towns aro in creasing yearly. The day is surely not far distant when 1 lorry, with her splendid lands, her fine timbers, her fisheries, etc, will fall into line with the many other prosperous Southern towns. Editor Horry IIkhald; i ' - - i .mi nut i io uoinering the newspapers fi>r several reasons, the most important, being incompetency. However please allow me space in your colums relative to my trip to Kehoboth in the Lake Swamp country. We left home on Saturday evening L>, Til U HS1)A\ last, having learned that Bro.'Dttsen* bury and Bro. I a-wis Elliott were carrying on a protracted meeting. Failing to roach the Church that evening we passed the night' with a good old Brother of 7B years, a veteran of the late war. It seemed to its that he opened his whole soul and heart'to us. We spent a pleasant night. It looked as if we had reached the garden spot. The country was blessed both spiritually and temporally everything lo >ked pro* grrssive and pmSilic. We saw an abundance of largo corn, rice and cane Holds; and such large collurds, few have ev"i* seen. Cotton was quite i>o ?r on!v r.hiiiit ii-.ir nf'?o I - -.--j nitii vtw|ro? We spent the evening in a good old family talk. The old gentleman ! spoke of his posterity, saying, ho had eleven ch:Mren, eighty one grand children and two groat grand I children Vhich with himself und his wife made a total of ninety six. Ninety-one of these art) li\ing. Speaking of some of the families having thirteen children, your cor respondci.t remarked that it was a (| iire prolific t'inn with tliein and called attention to tin year 187f), when, while taking the census of the county, he found but one family winch had thirteen children. The good sister replied that if the census were to he taken next year, and there were no bad luck, several of th?ir families would number fourteen. So far so good. On Sunday morning we put out for Kehoboth church, our destina tion, and on our arrival our hearts were made glad. We. saw the good effects of a powerful revival meeting. Many souls were built up in Christ; their cups wore running over, and many members were added to the church. Soon after our arrival we entered the church where we found the people engaged in a love feastand a love feast it was to all of us to I.car t lie good brothers and sisters ; testify what the Lord had done and was still doing for them. There are some good Christians about Iteliobotli. The good Lord is sowing his seed all over that section and doing this mighty work. Our worthy Pro. Dusenbury is a zealous worker and the Lord has crowned his efforts with success. May ho have the earnest prayers of the churches and the good Christians all over the county. W. II. Putvirrr. Washington Letter. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) President Harrison's manly devotion to his sick wife, whoso bedside he has refused to leave, except to attend to such urgent national affairs as cannot ho left to his subordinates, is not altogether pleasing to the big headed politicians of his party who have Come here to see him Rinn? lio returned from Loon Luke, last week, many of them on missions purely selfish in their natiuo, but there nre few men whose hearts are in the right place, no matter what their political opinions muy^be, who do not honor him for the affection he ' displays for the woman he swore to love and honor so many years ago. Careful inquiry among tho thousands of people from every section of the country who attended the (L A lb encampment last week brought out one fact that is puzzling the politicians no little. Tito only states in which there is t he usual activity which precedes a 1'residential election are those in which the people's party have obtained a foothold, i The prediction was made by hundreds I of moii from the other states, that ! unless there was a very great change between now and election day it j would be impossible for eithor party | to get out anything even approach* J ing a full vote. No satisfactory I explanation for this indifference on the part of tho voters has been given, and I shall not attempt to do what some of the shrewdest men in politics have failed to do. It is simply mentioned ns one of tho i queer urng8 or the campaign that is being much talked about in Washington. / Gen. Daniel Sickles, of New York who was ono of Senator 11 ill's strongest supporters at the Chicago convention, gave evidence by his talk while at the encampment that he has not become reconciled to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, and it \vi 1 not surprise any of those who heard him to hour at any time that he has bolted the democratic ticket. Washington is very different today from what it was a week ago. Then brass bands and drum corps were heard on all sides as the arriving posts of G. A. II. inarched to their quarters; today, there is only the ordinary hum of every day business traffic. The great crowd?in the neighborhood of 350,000?has enjoyed nearly a week of sight seeing and quietly returned to their homes to discuss the beauties of thoir capital city and the hospitality of its citizens, and the greatest parade of the last quarter of a century. It was a good natuted crowd, and every body speaks well of the good order which prevailed in tho city during their stay That they had a good time was evident from their faces and doubtless many felt as one gentleman put. it. " There is only one thing I rogret, and that is, I have to stop to eat and to rest. 1 should like to keep on going and taking part in the numerous entertainments which have been so generously pro vided far us.'" The fact is, it was a physical impossibility for any ono person to have attended all of '.ho 1 entertainments. CF ho Departments of State and of 1 Justice are busily at work upon the 1 preparation of the answer of the United States to the statement upon ' which Great Britain will nase her ' SEPTEMBER case in tho lichrings Sea Arbitration. It is a ticklish ?or? of a job and the greatest care is being taken, as it is recoili/ed that a blunder, insignficant of itself, might result in prejudicing our case to a dangerous extent in the mindsjof the dis'inguished gentlemen who will sit as a court of arbitration, they also know that if the case be lost the administration will catch it hot and heavy from thotu who have been from the lirst opposed to arbitration, believing that thereby this country is taking a chance to loose rights which it never should have allowed to he questioned, but should have maintained at all hazards, by force of arms if necessary- President Harrison regarded the matter ( us of so much imnftriiinnu l.? ......... . ... ? l?ll W MHIU I'V left Mrs. Harrison for the iirst time since he brought her back to the NVhito I louse, except for a few tnin ? utea at a time, in order to discuss with the Secretary of State and the Attorney (iencral the outlines of the . document to be prepared, which he proposes going over with great care ' after it is completed. It may bo stated on good authority that this government will rot for the present take any action in regard to the complaint made by the own ( ers and sailors of the American sealers recently seized by Russian War vessels. There are reasons why it ( is not dosircahle to tackle this question just now. Russia in making these seizures has only exercised the same right which we claim in Itehring Sea, and unless there wore some peculiar hardships put upon American citions who were on the seized vessels it is hardly probable that anything will ever he done in the nature of a protest against tho seizures.
