AIKEN AND THE UAIIJ HO AO.
As will be seen by nn nrtu?l? taken.
(fr?m tho Aiken llemrder nn?l pjnbliuli-i;
.ed in theso columns, that jmper MipnkS'
discouragingly of the chances of Aijkun's
voting the 5 per cnt s-ulorcrip.tion.to
the <3. C. G. & 0. ll.dt. Another
.nrtjole.tgk.cn from the Edgefield Chronicle
show* that -Dr. Croft, n Director of
.thorpad at Aiken, is sanguine that the
mibscription will bj2 voted. Ourprivste
:inforrpation tallies with this latter statement.
-We are afraid our friend of tjie
flecortlci' grown despondent. At
Any rate it is not possible to predicate upon
newspaper opinions a .correct iihia of
vJhe situation. The result of the election
here tends to show how erroneous
.these may be.
For ourselves we have no fear that.
Aiken will refuse to do her part for the
,road now when its jirospects are brighter
than at any time since its inception
She cannot bo so bliml to lier own interests.
The grading toward Aiken has
^topped at a point from which it i*> very
(.casy to divert the course of the road to
Montmorence, a few utiles lower down
(on the South Carolina Railroad. This
will shorten the distance to be graded,
jflnd ie.ssan the expense because the
.route to Montmorency is through a loss
.broken country than that to Aiken.
'The people of this little village are not
of course able to give as much as Aiken.
JJut it is not the policy ?l the Road to
go where it is unwclcome. Montluorenci
has all tha advantages nf
position, and climate and soil tliat
Aiken has as a sanitary resort,
(,and having the advantages of competing
rail roads, it would speedily tako
'from Aiken its business and its Keekers
after health. Some enterprising man
vwould erect there a mammoth hotel to
?vie with (ho Highland J'ark. Aiken
cannot afford to encounter this risk.
And wo fujnk when the time comes she
jvill allign herself with Edgefield and
Abbeyille and Pickens in favor of the
jsubsiription, Just as soon as the course
of Aiken is determined, "tho Manage.agement,"
we are reliably informed will
take immediate steps to begin work.
-They are fully alive to the importance
of prompt and energetic action, and
may be relied on to leave unturned no
^Btone to push tho fortunes of tho road.
THE CONVICTS,
There are ri\tr\ors pfioat that the con^victs
in.the camp of the Savannah Valley
^to&d have been treated with unnecessary
severity, and in some cases with
(cruelty .and harshess. We are informlU
? '? ? '

demands an investigation. There
ought to be an inquest held and the
whole matter ventilated.
$Ve have no mawkish scntimentulitv
about tljjs tbjuog : roon who break the
law ought to bo punished, and wo are
not in any wise disposed to interfere
with their proper discipline and control.
But in the name of com wan humanity
^w? protest against excessiv.e harshness
.and cruelty. Wo are informed^ that
nine convicts, out of one hundred and
twenty have died within five weeks.
If this be true, there is something
.wron^ in the sanitary arrangements of
the camp, or in the diet of tho prisoners,
or in excessive work and hard treatment.
We d6 liot want in any way to
jhinder or hamper work on this Road.
JTor do we think the officers and friends
of the Road have any knowledge of
these facts. But the air is full of reports
concerning thom, and we raise a
warning voice that these evils may be
corrected, and if wrong has been done
that it may be punished. And we
speak for humanity &Qke >n the behalf
of the poor wretohes whose lawful punishment
is hard enough in all conscience
and does not need to be supplemented
by "man's inhumanity to man,"

KnjToits of Thk Mkssknokr : Hear
Sirs ; as I am soon to leave Ninety-Six.
1 ask for a small space in j'our valuable
paper to return thanks for the many
favors received at the hands of its generous
people. Though only nine
months ago I entered in thoir midst "n
stranger in a strange land," they
are now as dear to me as my
neighbors at home. Their liberal sup
port, their unbounded hospitality ami
their kindness bestowed "thick as the
leaves in Vallambrosn," would have
endeared them t<? a heart f.ir less susceptible
than mine. Ainonj* so many
friends, to mention nnm?\s would
he an invidious distinction, but
to one and all I would, say,
"may the Lord deal kindly with 3-011 and
yours, as you have dealt with mo."

PrMdiUiNeqt of tlio Graml Jury
To His Honor Judge J. S. Cothran,
Presiding Judge in June Term,
Court of Common Pleas and Sessions
J'or Abbeville County, 1SS5:
The Grand Jury respectfully submit
the following report :
We have examined the bills handed
us by the Solicitor, and made such returns
as the facts seem to warrant.
We have examined the public ofTi
CCS.
The Treasurer's office, so fnr as we
are able to judge, seems to be well kept.
He reports cash balance on hands
$53.3(>, and amount or special tax collected
on hands $747.19.
The borrowing of money to defray
current expenses, wo could approve of
if proper safeguards could be thrown
around it, bill the radical defect seems
to be the selection of County Commissioners,
The School Commissioner is zealous
and efficient, we think the cause of
education would be best promoted by
giving a salary sufficient to command
the best talont and require the entire
time of the incumbent.
The office of Auditor wants additional
furniture, we recommend it bo supplied,
Complaints have reached us of the
difficulty of finding papers in the
Clerk's office, but the Clerk assures us
that now he has his office in such con*
dition that there shall be no more difficulty
in this particular.
The offices of Probate Judge and
Sheriff so far as we can form an opinion,
are well kept.
We have examined the jail. The
inmates appear to fair awmjituoxtsljj
every day. This place, to a certain
class of prisoners, should be less attractive.
We recommend the fare be reduced
to actual necessities,
Nellie Earl is in jail on a poaco bond,
wo recommend her discharge. The
jr.il should bo whitewashed on tho
inside.
The roads in some localities nrc badly
Worked and in some not at all, but
we deem it sufficient to notify the parties
interested to have the work done
at the proper time.
We have examined the Poor House
carefully and find the accommodations
inadequate for the number of inmates.
One of the houses now occupied
wns donated for a house of worship
; we recommend that other Iiousob
bo built suitable for dwelling, nncl tho
chapel be used as a place of worship.
We found tlie food and clothes furnishod
in quality and quantity sufficient,
and tho inmates well cared for,
except they are (oo much crowded together.
Tho system of letting out the
Poor House to tho highest bidder, prohibits
any very great changes, wo recommend
a change in the management.
TJjo care and treatment of the poor is
an index of the highest civilization.
Tho present establishment comes far
short of what itBhould be.
Tho Trial Justices have sent up only
q few books for our inspection, They
are neatly kept, in a business style ;
we recommend they bo required to
adopt the same forms, and have" their
books on hand at each term of Court.
The druggists in some localities continue
to violate the law retricting tho
salo of ardent spirits, we have not sufBoiont
evidenco to prosecute.
At the last term of the Court we presented
the C. & G. R. II. for violations
of General Statutes 1434 and 1582, but
from some neglect we are forced to the
necssitv of diroelino' tlio ?<

the Court to the samo point.
Tho Coroner is reported to us as over
zealous in tho discharge of his duties,
wespocifythe pages of-Lue Williams
and Fhebe Valentino, post mortoin
examinations without warrant and
under protest.
This season of the year is very unfavorable
to the public for holding
Court
With thanks to your Honor and
officers of the Court we beg to be discharged.
Respectfully Submitted,

a-w,V, . . Our
Railroad Proepecta.
Notwithstanding the many unfavorable
comments and prophecies of disantor
to the Carolina, Cumberland Grip and.
Ohicngo Railroad. its friends and sup-,
porters have steadfastly maintained that
the road will be buiit, and in its darkest
hours never <!efe?rted the irhip.
Their labor and their y.eal has now assumed
tangible and parcticable shape in
the various* township* along the line, by
subscriptions voted in each township to
the .capital stock of the road. These
subscriptions, Willi what has already
been done, will create a property of
about )f300XXX), and with this amount,
as a base of operation, our rail road may
be looked upon as an accomplished fact.
Already it is attracting the attention of
other rail roads enterprises across the
mountains, and we learn from reliable
authority that the Knojcville, Severeville,
and Pigeon Hiver I'ailroad Company is!
looking forward to a connection with
our raad at or near where their road
touches the North Carolina line. This
road will start from Knoxville. Tennessee,
pass through Knox, Severe audi
Cook Counties, Tennessee, intersecting
with our line at an angle of about forty-'
live degrees. This will be a decided
advantage to both roads, as the Tennessee
road will, as soon as wo have touched
them, at once give us an outlet to the
North and Northwest, and our lino will
give them an outlet to the East.
Charleston being the objective point,
this line will be about one hundred and
thirty miles nearer than by way of
Chattanooga and Atlanta, the nearest
outlet that Knoxvillo now has in this
direction. Besides shortening the distance
more than a hundred miles, this
projected road will pass through a section
of country rich in marble, iron and
timber which, for want of railroad facilities,
is now almost valueless. The Scottish
Timber Company of North Carolina,
who own something like two hundred
thousand acres of the linest timber
land in America, lying on both sides of
Uig Pigeon ltiver ami on the slopes of
the Great Smokey llange of Mountains,
is deeply interested in this road and expect
to invest largely in its stock. It
will be remembered that the general
manager representing this company, was
at our Charleston meeting and said that
his company would give material help
to our enterprise, and would take, \rc bulieve,
$700,000 of our houd-i as soon as
we cross the mountains.
Capt. W. J. Kirk is now in Te. nessee
making a survey for thi.i now road, and
we earnest!v hope that our Tennessee
friends will he able to soon have a corps
of hands on their lino, grading toward*
the point of intersection. An interestis
now being taken all along the line, and
with a united effort the dream of years
will he realized. The townships in Anderson
County, through which our road
passes, should at once tako the proper
steps for holding an election to vole a
subscription. What is Helton doing ?
We romeinber that her delegation nt the
Charleston meeting pledged her to a
subucription. Aiken, .Edgefield, Abbe,
ville and Pickens are all falling in line.
Let the townships ot Anderson aUo respond
to the call.?Pickens Sentinel.
The Only Gbstrnctlnn.
Capt, Lewis Jones, the director of the
C. C. G. $t C. II., has received letters
during the last week from President
llagood and other prominent men connected
with the enterprise, and it is
represented that the only obstruction
now to beginning of the work is Aiken.
And Dr. T. G. Croft, the director at
Aiken writes to Capt. Joik'k that Aiken
\ will undoubtedly vote tint subscription
as soon as the election can be held.?
Ed(jafield Chronicle.
The Cumberland Gap Uuilroad is now
on a boom west of the llluo Ridge
Mountains.?Pickens Sentinel.
Tlio C? G. Gap & G. Railroad.
Rluewhcre we publish an article from the
Edjretield AJvtrtifcr, showing a total subscription
thus far of $108,001) from the towns
and townships nlonjr the proposed route.
The Advertiser congratulates the friends of
the road on t e thus far achieved and asks
"Will Aiken not come forward now?" and
again it says, "We expect a subscription of
$30,000 from Aiken, and hope the proi.lu will
proceed at once to take a vole on the question."
in response, we would answer, that it is an
extremely doubtful matter whether Aiken
will come forward or not. In fact; Aiken has
placed herself in so peculiar n position that
we are afraid that the road will receive little or
no pecuniary aid from her. The town has
twice voted against, the road, consequently
another election cannot be had for the corporation,
As a last resort, an election mar
he held for Aiken township, but as this will
be asking pur coyntrj' friends to assume a
bonded indebtedness which the town people
have twice refused to hear, we hardly think
the farmers will accept the scheme with
enthusiasm. Dcsidcs there is still a formidable
influence within the town, that is as unalterably
opposed to u bonded debt to-day as
it was last year.
Under these circumsfones it would be hardly
safe to count on a $.50,000 subscription from
Aiken. If.it is madewe will bo very much pleased
but until it is made, it h.id better rot be included
in the estimate of probable receipts.
Aiken can always send the largest delegation
to a railroad convention but when it
comes to tho raising of money she generally
assumes an attitude of masterly inactivity.
What we have written is for tho purpose of
preventing un luc expectations concerning
the amount, of aid the road will receive front
Aiken.
There is no question but what Aiken would
be crreatly benefitted by the building of this
roaa; but as all the arguments have before
been stated in theao columns, wo will leave
their repetition for those more immediately
interested in the pecuniary benefits of ?hi?
enterprise than ourselveB. \Ve have faithfully
performed our duty to the public in the face
of bit tor opposition, And hare nettling more
to add to what has been already advanced,
and as many matters of interest are mow
transpiring about which tho people desire to bn
informed, wc do not intcnu to burden our
columns vith doings and sayings concerning
an enterprise which the people of Aiken seem
determined to give the cold-shoulder.
The cosmopolitan community composing
the town of Aiken, hare decided that they oan
do without the road; ! >? ! ?>? ??? ,r "

And They Failed, Too.
Miss Lulu Hurst gave an exhibition in Rock I
Hill last week, and sonic of the dudes of the ,
town (those whoso heads contain all the wisdom
nnd intelligence of the place) nsBcrted ?
that they saw iuto the mystery at once, and
could duplicate all of her feats. An ere*in^c 1
was appointed for them to do so, aDd their
failure to carry ?ut the programme as enacted
by her was about .equal to what some of the r
massive intellects of Camden can do (in the'.r f
imagination) but don't do?it was an utter \
failure. In introducing Miss Hurst to the ,
audience, the manager said that "no odo but ,
the beardless youth and the brainless dude i
has ever yet been able to account for the (
mysterious foree exerted by her." However
tluiir superior wisdom fails to unravel the
mystery when callcd upon to do so.?Cam Jin
