TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1885.
Mr. Galloway's Let ter in A ikon
Af? was anticipated, Mr. Galloway's
letter on his Aiken trip has created
quite a stir in that anti-railroad coini:"N
munity. The papers all with one accord
rush to. the defence of their Dutch
citizens. Senator Henderson condecends
to notice Mr. Galloway's letter
also, and defends his lager-beer-drinking
constituency from the imputations
cast upon them. We reproduce in our
columns what the Aiken Journal, atxl
Review -has to say, and also
print Senator Henderson's communication.
Col Drayton's article in the lie- j
corder was too long for reproduction.
Both the Aiken papers, however, attempt
to make a great deal of the misuse
of the word "Golcondn," but our friends
inadvertently, we suppose, omitted to
mention that the discovery was made
. by the Augusta Chronicle. Give the
Devil his due, friends.
We are sure that neither ourselves
nor Mr. Galloway are in any way disposed
to do the town of Aiken or its esestimable
citizens any injustice.
Wo have no apologies, though, to make
for our connection with the affair. We
know Mr. Galloway to be an honest
straiprht-forward gentlemen, and one
r \\ ?
who would not stoop to do anything
that was belittlinc or degrading.
The fact still stands, that Mr. Gal
loway chronicled his impressions truly,
and for those impressions, surely, neither
we, nor Mr. Galloway can be held
responsible. Our friends in Aiken will
. have to turn an eye inward to discern
the whys and wherefores of these impressions.
Mr. Galloway asserted nothing as a
V fact, but merely wrote tho impressions
that were made upon him by his visit,
f v If those impressions were erroneous, as
our friends show, the public were entitled
to know it. Had Afr. Galloway not
published his letter, he ami his friends
wight have gone down in gray hairs to
their graves, with the same impressions.
No apologies by the Aiken papers to
Mr. Galloway were necessary, and no
tender handling was expected. The
fight on the railroad question evidently
was a bitter one, and to that, and that
alone is probably duo, the impressions
made upon our correspondent. As the
editor of the Recorder asserts that its
services were so valuable to the antirailroad
men, that they would receive
no subscription from him to the cam,
" pnign fund, it (the Recorder) is probable
^responsible in & large measure for
.L _ . . ... ........
mat oiiiorness, inougii me impression
made by that editor upon the Messenger
correspondent was that he was
neutral.
The writer of this article was responsible
for the appearance of Mr. Galloway's
letter in the Messenger and it
was admitted solely from a desire to
find out the true state of affairs, and as
was stated in the outset, we have no
apologies to offur or further explanations
.to make.

Our Ninety-Six friends seem to be in

Every place it seems can build a road
except Abbeville. Is there no deliver^

Jiadicapped by the pernieious iufiuence
of newspapers ?

The Summerville Herald is the most

The Railroad Meeting- at Ninety-Six-Col.
Hammett President--General
Satisfaction?Sanguine of Snccess.
Ninety-Six, S. C., November 16 1885.
?Tho Railroad meeting held hr-re on
the 13th. inst. was a grand uceess On
Thursday night a mooting was held by
the citizens of Ninety-Six, and the
delegates present from other places.
Speeches were made by several leading
men all in favor of the narrow gauge
railroads. In one of these speeches a
description was given of one narrow
gauge rail road which was only eighteen
inches wide, and a successful Road.
Our Road is to be three feet gauge
according to the present understanding.
The regular meeting was called to order
at 4 P. M.. on 13th. Col. J. McCullough
was elected Chairman. A committee
was appointed to enroll the
stockholders, or the proxy, present.
597 shares were represented, this being
sufficient representation the Chairman
declared the meeting ready for business.
Nominations being in order. Mr. J. H.
llice. after a very line speech favoring
the gentlemen, nominated Col. II. P.
liainmctt, for President. This was received
with much appluse, and on motion
of Mr. F. A. Conner, the rules
were suspended and Col. Ilammett was
uminiinouslv elected bv acclamation.
Col. Hammett arose to accept and made
a very encouraging speech. Mr. Sulli!
van, of Greenville, nominated Capt.
Kirk, for Vice-President, this office bein?x
subject to the approval of the Legislature,
as the present charter did not
include a Vice-President. On motion of
Capt. James Rogers. Capt. W. J. Kirk,
was unanimously elected by acclamation.
The following gentlemen wore
thon elected Directors, by ballot :
Capt. K. A. Sinyth, J)r. T. \V. Chiles,
G. T.Jackson. W. S. Allen, \V. J. Muet,
F. A. Connor, Col. Jos. McCulIough, L.
M. Moore, and J. B. Humbert.
The meeting then adjourned and a
meeting of the Directors called. At
this meeting Mr. F. M. Pope was elected
Secretary and Treasurer and the following
committees appointed : Executive
Committee, President and VicePresident,
T. W. Chiles, F. A. Connor
and G. T. Jackson ; committee on revisI

Humbert and W. S. Allen. With such
men as these, all energetic and sensible,
the lioad must ho a success. Not a (lis
senting voice was hoard, every one
seemed satisfied, and this is a great deal
for the enterprise. The citizens of
Ninety-Six are very houyant at the prospects
and seem to have gained new 011ergy
from this mooting. X
Senator Henderson It epics to the Letter
of Mr. (xiiilowuy.
Aiken, S. C. November 7, 18S5.
Messrs Editors:
In your issue of November 3rd, I find a letter
headed "A trip to Aiken" and signed "It.
S. G." who I presume to be Mr. II. S. Galloway,
of Due West, who I had the pleasure of
seeing in Aiken on the day of the towi sliip
election of "subscription" or "no subscription"
to the slock of the C., C. G. & C. Itv. Co.
I shall not undertake to answer his entire
letter, but only the part where he speaks of me,
suffice it to say in general reply that friend
Gallowaywas badly informed as to "he reasons
why the subscription was defeated, a:ul
i^ie classes of people who voted against it.
I know of Germans (not "vile l)utch," wc
have none of that race in our town, but highly
respected Germans,) who voted for .the sub
sui ipnuu uiiu wui> viiluu nfjaiuiSL 11, nnn l ussort
that more than onc-iiulf of the native
Americans of the township voted against it.
Mr. Galloway says, "the position taken by
Senator Henderson against the Uoud was the
greatest surprise to us, as he is a gentleman
of culture and intellect. Jiut it was said
that the Dutch had him employed .is their
counsel and that ho was the power behind the
throne and the brains, the butch furnishing
the money ; Senator Henderson is an accomplished
gentleman and has twice beeu invited
to Due West to speak ; we twitted him with
trying to cut oil closer relations, when he
said that he would subscribe $500 to thw Road,
but opposed the present tax ; we do hone the
Senator, now that the lax has failed will make
his word goo44'
Let me saj' in reply I have never taken any
position "against the Road," but against the
tax?two very different things. I have always
favored the road, and advocated a liberal
private subscription as a policy more preferable
than a forctd subscription at the ballot
box, and am still willing to sign any feasible
subscription list. I now own a small quantity
of stock in Road.
I opposed the subscription last submitted
to the people, among other reasons, and chieflv,
because it was sought to put the tax on
the iownsh^p^not the town as in the previous
election. The road would traverse not three
miles of the township, yet the tax
would have extended ten or twelve miles towards
the Edisto river and would have to
be borne by a people who would derive little
or uo benefit from the Road.
These people had always been faithful to
every public duty ; to a man they were opposed
to the tax and called upon us not to place it on
them; a tax which would hare doubled their
taxes for tivc years. Recognizing the justice
of their position, I opposed the tax, and am
nut usuuuicu 01 m j course.
It was ft IocrI matter, fraught with local issues
>uid no people can better understand it
than the people of the immediate locality.
1 thank Mr. Galloway for what lie has said
of me ina complimentary way. I hardly imagined
that he intended to leave tho inference
that the Germans had employed me as their
attorney and that tor that reason I had advocated
"no Subscription," because they opposed
it. If he did mean this, I ask of'bim his
author and his proof, for the inference is without
foundation iu truth.
As a fact my firm arc not the attorners of
all the German citizens in Aiken. Some of
my legal brethren who favored subscription
ic}>k>cacm lepaiiv some 01 "ine vile Utile!)"
who opposed subscription and we represent
some ; and all of us hare found them good citizens.
..J
I am sorry that 1 was not able to go to Due
West when invited there,, but was prevented
by extremo illness in mj* familv, ana if it be
my pleasure, as I trust it may be soino day, to
visit Due West, I hope I shall not leave the
impression that I advocate a cause because
others advocate it, but that I do my own
thinking and act in accordance with my own
judgment. Let me say, in conclusion, to Mr.
Galloway that he has done injustice to the
Germans of our place. When ne comes again/
uiav he come under more favorable auapices
and we will show him a little of our beautiful
town and nome of its improvements, (which
he scums not to have seen.)
Reapuotfully,
D. S. Henderson.
Mr. Galloway's Letter*
History repents itnelf, sure enough 1 The
experience recorded by the old Scotch bard
has become ours, for some one ha* bttn
''Among u? fnkin' notes," and faith "he has
prented it" I If we hud only known R, we
would have tried to behave better and make a
nleasanter impression ; but that is the trouble
with these terrible note-takers; when thoy
ar? going to say anything bad about one, they
????????
never auk for satisfactory and reliable infoi
mat ion, and they never tell us what they ai
gointr to do.
In a sense, this letto"* of Mr. Gallownv i
none of our quarrel. lie is on our side of th
subscription question, and he has not sui
anything against us. In a sense it is ou
quarrel, He abuses and commiserates Aikei
We were workiug heart and soul for what w
believed to be her best interests when we ad
vocated subscription, because we were on
with her in sympathy and love?and now an
nlwavs. he who attacks Aikeu attacks u:
Furthermore, just because Mr. Utlloway i
' on our side on the general question, we mm
t?k.? ihsiir with liini in flu? ??r ......
fare which lie sees Rood to adopt. Jn Ui
whole discussion, we nave kept ourselves t
facts and arguments, carefully avoiding au
dcprccating anv port-onalities a?<? anytime, nt
ad homivem. We did not consider the niatU
a personal one ; we had no axe of our own t
grind and did not propose to turn the ston
for any one else to grind his axe.
Again, we do not forget that Mr. Uallowa
is only a private individual and speaks eel
taiuly on his own responsibility, hut only ft
himself. It would amount to giving tc
much prominence to any outsider's piival
opinions of our citizens aud their affairs, t
make a parade of this letter; and it woul
surely be pitiable if Aiken had to muster lit
forces and shoulder arms whenever a snei
ball from a single rifleman falls soinewliei
near her. But Mr. Galloway's letter appeal
ed in one of the Abbeville papers, ami anotl
ur one honors it with two editorial notice?aiul
one of these?spare us, Brother Ilem[
hill!?is a leader!
We do not propose to defend Aiken. Hast
in Bclf-iustitication argues weakness an
guilt. We spurn any man or place who bog
leave to live and pleads with the public for
good name and a favorable judgincut. Tli
French proverb is true, "qui s'excusc, s'ut
cv*c." ritill, Aiken has been unjustly dea
with, and is hold before the public in an at
pect as untrue to her as were Nil si's an
ruck's caricatures of lllaiue untrue to th
Plumed Knight's physical features.
We must comlcmu the class distinctions r
Mr. (*'s letter. It is contrary to the gotihi
and detrimental to the true interests of ou
great Republic. No matter what a man's 1111
tionality may be, when he comes to this com
try he becomes an American. Our Genua
citizens certainly would not have us defen
tliem from the charge of being "low and <1 i 1
tv." We would not insult them by doing si
\Ve can, however, say of tliem thai they ai
true Americans. Some of them fougli
bravely for the Confederacy, and they hav
ever been active workers for while supremac
and Democratic principles. They are goo<
quiet, industrious citizens, and this mean
that they add much to the welfare of the lowi
They did not agree with us on the ruilrua
question ; but wo have always been willing t
accord to one who dilt'ers with us what n
claim to have ourselves, motives and reason
to themselves commendable, full and suit
cient. It is false, iu fact, thnt thevcontrol t!i
business or Aiken, and are able, it they eve
wished to do so, to choke out her life. It i
false, in tact, that they either directly <
indirectly carried the last election, save i
the souse that Indiana or New Jersey olecte
Cleveland. It is false, in fact, that they un
stock in the litcurdtr.
Neither does beer rule in Aiken. We hav
nuver seen a more orderly town. Gnu ca

, streets, and scarcely ever see a drunken nia
or be disturbed by a drunkard's noise iu th
