Thus far we know not whether to consider inventive y nuis as a curse or a blessing, us a nvuior or destroyer. Hut if inventive genius h is miuie wonderful improvements (?) in i •' weapons of war, it has also n.i.u. wonderful improvements in th-‘ means of self-protection, so that ihe accounts may be pretty wed b dune, d, with the advantage on the side of self-protection. The number of men who are killed or wounded in a modern battle, does not begin to compare with that of a battle in an cient times, fought with the rude weapons of savage warfare. It is vain to plead for humanity in modes of warfare. Men go to war on purpose to kill one another, and from one point of view the mon rapid and extensive the killing, toe more humane is the war.

That a general with a force at his buck eight times us strong as that of his antagonist, should resort to such u method to destroy a thin, ragged, starving line of men that stood in his way with sublime and steadfast courage, eeems the very climax of cruelty and the very essence of cowardice. Yet we have never heard that President Davis, or General Lee, or any other Confederate g. ! < r.ii t.r statesman ever uttered a siegb* pro test. It was war, and war is always unscrupulous and brutal, and otten- times cowardly. MITES AND COAIMCNTK. except those in Texas, have been gobbled up.

AN INTERESTING STORY. A Surveyor Tells About tin* IliillUIng of the DM south Carolliui Kailroml. '1 he Augusta Herald gives the fol lowing story as related by a pioneer railroad builder, which the young fulks will read with great interest; Dr. \V. \V. Smith, of Williston, S. 0., holds the distinction of being one of the corps of surveyors who built the first railroad in the I'nited States —the old South Carolina railway, lie was born in Barnwell County, South Carolina, in 1813, and is there fore, 85 years of age. He is botli a minister and a physician. According to Dr. Smith the first railroad in the I'nited States was the South Carolina railroad, afterward called the Charleston and Augusta railroad, running from Charleston to Augusta, a distance of one hundred and forty miles. Dr. Smith was one of the corps of surveyors of the road, beginning at Charleston in the year JS20. He says that they were seven years building the road, and that he helped in the work throughout that time. The road was completed in 18:13. Below are given some of the facts as furnished by Dr. Smith; The first motive power used on this road was wind, utilized in sails made of cloth on the curs. Dr. Smith is the inventor of the lever switch. Before his invention they moved the rails by maens uf wedges. In building the road a heavy grade was encountered at Aik«*n, S. C., 1 where there was a stationary engine that pulled the cars up the grade by ropes and windlass. Tftere was a double track at tiiat place and a car loaded with rocks furnished the weights to help pull up the ears. The locomotives had two"' .smoke stacks, one at each end. In going to Charleston one of the stacks was used and in coming back the other. There were no spark arresters, and everybody along the route had to watch the property to pit vent its be ing burned up, One hundred miles a d ly was good travelling in those days. When night came on all hands struck camp and waited for daylight to come in order to proceed. The track was composed of ties and thirty-two foot stringers, on which a band of iron about like u common t're was laid and nailed down to the wood. A track walker went ahead of the engine every day to knock down the •‘snake-heads,” or nail heads to pre vent accidents The dread of the engineer was the “snake-heads” or nails protruding above the iron rail, for they were prolific sources of acci dents. The conductors collected the tares from the outside, walking on boards about like the open street cars are now arranged. Edward Roath and Nathan Colder- bunks were engineers on this primi tive road. They died a few years ago. There were no conveniences on the cars as in this day and tim**. The ears stopped at stated intervals for the convenience of the passengers. 'I'he mail facilities were meagre and very primitive. A snlit stick served fur a mail hag, ns letters were put in sticks and handed up to the conduc tor, and were thrown out the same way. Dr. Smith introduced the plan of having the outer rail on a curve made higher than the other rail. The coupling links were made of wood, so that when a car ran oil it would break and save the others from running oil. Tristam Tupper was one of the presidents of this road an ! intro duced some novelties during his ad ministration. He had the ears remodelled and shaped like a barrel. This was done so that in case they ran off they would roll down the hill and not hurt so many passengers. It was thought that they could hi* rolled hack with the same degree of ease. There was afterward an effort made to shape the cars in order to “split the wind” (bus increasing the speed. One of the greut mogul engines of the present day would have crushed the track beneath the earth.

ANTIOCH CHURCH. One of (lie (.arrest and Mr«t Clltirr !if*it in the Country. (Correspondence of The Dodger.) Mk. Editor:—Having been in this the eastern portion of our county sev eral days and having met a goodly number of these most excellent peo ple over here I will write you a few lines and tell you what I have seen and learned so far over here. This is the southern or (astern sec tion of the little range of mountains called “Whittaker's Range.” Along its base, or around it for several miles the Southern Rrilroad makes a circuitous route until it gradually rises higher and higher until it reach es Grover. Here it leaves our state. The country is samewhat broken but withal vt ryfertil. This was the dry section the past summer and all crops here are much shorter as a con sequence than they would have been with the usual rainfall. The corn harvested, us in other sections of the county, is of fine quality and on low lands a very adandant crop has been saved. The pea vine crop has been remarkably fine and well cared for, and now, notwithstanding that the season to save it is past, 1 must tell you of u plan which I see used here by farmers in putting up green peu vine hay in the fields by which neither rain or dew will affect it for several days, or even weeks of expos ure. They take three sticks of any kind or shape about eighteen inches long and drive them about six inches deep into the ground ir triangle form, then throw your vines in heaps over and around these stakes and your hay will cure out well and keep for some time in any kind of weather. One is struck forcibly with the diversity of crops that are some times grown here—of course cotton, as elsewhere, is the leading crop, nevertheless farmers hero have a soil wonderfully adopted to other pro ductions. One secs on many farms splendid tobacco houses, appearontly new, which impress one with the idea that if cotton fails we are prepared to try the tobacco experiment. Just now all the talk is “wheat,” and our own opinion is that a much larger acreage will be sown this sea son than has ever been sown in up per South Carolina, in fact a large quantity has already been put in the ground. A few days ago I had the pleasure of meeting my old time friend, Wil liam Ross, he though age begins to show on him considerably, lie has lost none of his zeal and anxiety, for the very best interest of his people and country as a public school trus tee,' which office he now holds. None manifests greater intere-ts in the schools of the community than Mr. Ross does. In fact he is known as a genial public spirited man. Last Sunday in company of one of our trustees over here, we had the Measure of attending the Sunday School at Antioch church. This is a large and splendid Baptist church in the country. As we entered it the superintendent met us before we were seated, and welcomed us in a most feeling manner. The church is a large brick building and well fin ished inside and out. The aisles are carpeted and the seats are very com fortable. Rev. L. D. Baily is church pastor. The member-hip is large and progressive. This statement is borne out by the number of parents and children in attendance on the school tiiat day. There were many gray-headed men present, and I noticed that the secretary reported to the superintendent 105 scholars in recitation that morning. We ex pect to visit them again. Most of the public schools a:o open, but seem to he small schools —perhaps all are not ready to start yet. O.tr friend, Mr. J. It Green, will open his scho d at Hamburg school house very soon We wish him great success as we believe he deserves it. i. n. D. ClmiuWcrlHiiiV. I’niii Itulin Cur<n Otix-rM, WUy Not Von?

S. S. S. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cui^e Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely lends should impress upon those nfllicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment lias been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. li. E. Thompson,of Milledgcville, Ga., writes: “A bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, which had to he lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, hut the physicians were un able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., nnd I began to improve as goon as I had taken a few bottles. Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR BLOOD —« the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics, etc., nii sufferers from blood troubles can he promptly cured, instead of enduring years of suffering which gradualiy hut surely undermines the constitution, ri.
