WINNSUORO. S. 0. 1UzSDAI, JULY U, : 18r8. A. MEANS DAY18, EDITOR. JQ v. .E YNOLDS, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. THE SPATANBURO AND ASHEVILLE Rail road has been completed to the summit of the Blue Ridge, nine miles from Hendersonvillo. The indomitable energy displayed by this company in pushing its enterprise in the face of universal dep-ession is worthy of the greatest praise. A Word for Redmond, Mr. McKinlay's report in the .News and Courier of his interviews with the outlaw, Redmond, are of surpassing interest, both from the nature of the subject and the graph ic style of the writer. He has brought Redmond face to face with the public, and has evoked the pro found sympathy of the people of the State in behalf of this modern Robin Hood who has thuu far successfully defied the myrmidons of the revenue service. These infamous creatures are shown in their true colors. There is no reason to doubt that they organize expeditions against alleged inoonshiners for the sole purpose of robbery and outrage. One almost regrets that Redmond's bullets were not more surely aim ed. The murderers of poor Ladd should be hunted down even as they hunted down tht ir victim. As for Redmond, his naturally good character is vouched for by the best peoplo of his acquaintance All he wants is a show of justice-a dog's chance. He asks the world to cease hound ing him down, and to give him a fair trial, where perjured revenuo ofli cials will not be allowed to swear away his life. This seems an act of justice. In common with the good citizens of the State we ask Govern or Hampton to investigato the mat ter and see what can be done, If Redmond is the man he is said to be, he shou:d be protected from further persecution. As for the dirty reve. nue officials, Judge Kershaw should resist the removal of their cases to the Federal court to the last ex tremity. This is a good time to put to practice the time honored prin ciples of State sovereignty. The Charleston Council. The recent meetings of the city council of Charleston have been the occasions of an unseemly display of temper and wrongheadedness, and it wvould appear from rep)orts that Major Sale has beeni tho otYhnding person. Tho casus belli at the last meeting was the presentation of a report of the board of health, which Mayor Sale refused to have'read on the ground that it was insulting to the council. When some of the aldermen demnan ded the reading. the mayor refused to accede, and further refused to entertain any appeal from his decision. There upon tlie council adjourned without transacting any of the important business before it, Seone time ago the city council anthorized the making of certain excavations with~ in the city limits, when the board of health, alleging that this would cause disease, procured an injunc tion from Judge Mackey, who decided that the board of health was supreme. Mayor Sale maintained that the board was the creation of the council, and could not therefore be supreme. This caused the con:munication which he refused to receive. Mayor Sale, also, in the meeting charged that a conspiracy exIgted against him, but refused to rnme the offenders. He haas subsequently relerred his action to the corporation counsel for ad vice, promising to be guided by the decision of that aflcer. Whoever may be in the wrong, such quarrels as this are untimely and deplorables Charleston is the ichest and most populous portion of the State. It is therefore an important factor, and upon the con duct of the Charleston Democracy depends a great deal. This power 'fqlbodIy.cannot afford to be divided and disorganized. It must be solhd anid enthtisihtic in iider to over And if a split should come in the city the game is uip, and Charleston will be severely punhled. Her Congressmen and her members of the Legislature will be Radicals of the worst typo, and the metropolis of the State will have no influence in shaping legislation. The stake is a high one which muet not be lost through Democratic dissentions. The council must pull together. It must not rival the Pillsbury council, in which pistols and morphine were the principal features. If Mayor sale is wrong, as he is reported to be, he must get right at once. The State Democracy will not be trifled with. It wants no lukewarmness, no dissensions, no bolts in its or ganization. "Democrat or Radical" is the cry. The day of go-betweens has passed. The council of Charles ton must not be a i element of dis traction. Since the above was written, Mayor Sale has revoked his action, and things are moving more smoothly.

He never saw a steamboat he never saw a fast mail train ; he never held his ear to a telephone he never sat for his picture in a i phIltograph gallery ; lie never re ceived a telegraph dispatch ; he a never sighted a Krupp gun ; he never listened to the "fizz" of an electric pein ; he never saw a pretty girl run a sewing-machine ; he nev er saw a self-propelling engine go down the street to a fire be never heai d of evolution ; he never took laughing gas ; he never had a set of store teeth ; he never attended an internitional exposition ; he never owned a bonanza mine ; he never knew "Old Prob. :" he-but why go on I No ; wle:o he took an excursion it was on a flat-boat when he went ofl on a train it was A Imunle train ; when lie wanted to talk to a man in Milwaukee he had to go there ; when he wanted his picture taken it was done in profile wit h1 a piece of black paper and a pair of shears ; when he got the returns from back counties they had to be brought in by a man with an ox-cart ; when he took aim at the enemy he hid to trust to a crook barrelled old flin t-ock ; when he wrote it was with a goose. quill ; when he had anything to mend ha grandmiothler did it with a darnin g needle ;when he wvent to a tire he stood in a line and passed buckets; when he looked at a clam he never dreamed it wvas any relation of his; when lie went to a concert lie heard a cracked 11(ddle and an insane elar ionet ; when he had a tooth pulled lie sat down and never stopped yell ing ; when he got out of teeth he gummed his victuals ; when be wvantedl an international show lie sent for LaFayette, and ordered his friend up from Old Virginia with 'the specimen carefully labeled in b)ottles ; when he once got hold of a nugget of gold from an Indian chief he felt rich ; when he wanted to know anything about the weather he con suIted the ground hog or the goose bone.

There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recentil been put upon the market. Dr. Un derhill the well-known gtrape-grower of Croton Point, diedl in 187r. Some of brs heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or an~y more to be made. The grapes haive somimeIins been sent to snarket, and sometimeca left to deeay upon the vines. 1It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for ai. settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Amon g these is a wino of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,'' hut suggesting the Imperial Tokay. imore than any other Europecan wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine ranciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the lmands of the welI-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbrs.-N. . Tridue, Nov. :9, 1977. -- r The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure Juice of the grape, neither druggrd, liquored uor u'almrd; that it hia been ripened and mellowed by age, and Lor- medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It cani be obtained from most of the leading DruggIsts throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge. on application.
