THE NEWS AND RlERALD. WINNSBORO, a C. *Uy3DAY, Deoomber 10, a , 1870, It. JWWLYa DAIr, gotou. eXN. U. RayxOID5. Assochvu E31fonl~. -Oeneral Kennedy for lieutenant. Governor. General John 1). Kennedy, of Ker - aw, has been mentioned for Lieuten aut-Governor in 1880. A better so lectlon could not be made. Though yet a young man, General Kennedy has served the State with distinction alike in war and in the political arena. As far back as 1868 he stumped the State for Seymour and Blair, and since then, in every emergency, lie has promptly responded, with a zeal that knows no fatigue and an eloquence that carries firm conviction. In 1876 he was constant in his attendance upon the executive committee, and in 1878, as the chairman of that body, he bore the Democratic banner himself from tie mountains to the seaboard. Though he has never received any reward com mensurate with his services, his pa triotism has never faltered, and he has labored as earnestly for the suc cess of the party as he could posaibly have done for himself. The State has ik opportunity both of "rewarding past services," and "securing the best man for the office" by electing Goner al Kennedy Lieutenant Governor. The Columbia Canal. The adoption by the Senate of the Hoilse bill iW referring to the Colum bia canal is much to be desired. The hill may not be the best thing that could be done, but it Is the best thing that can be done under existing cir enithstances. Briefly stated the bill to as follows: A company of North ern capitalists are to erect a dami across the Congaree and to make a 'ciual two hundred feet wide, capable of aff'ording transportation to boats. About ton thousand horse power can be developed, equal to the water pow er of Lowell, Massachusetts, of which' the State is to receive fifteen hundred horse power, said to be worth ten dollars per horse power per annum. The State is to furnish two hundred und fifty convicts, or as near that num ber as pracicable, to be fed by the contractors. The contractors are to give bond in the sum of a hundred thousand dollars, for the faithful per formance of the work, and are to com plete it withhi three years. These are generally the provisions, but they may be altered somewhat if the bill passes. Objections are urged that the State Is doing the work and will make a free gift to the contractors, but espe cially that the enterprise is merelv local and only Columbia will be l e ; ?W Ituius(~ have been demnst rated ere this that the Stale * of itself will not undertake te work, and the water powver, as it now stanids, is not worth a cent. The con tractors will feed the convicts, assume all the supervision of the enterprnise, and wvill turn over to the State water power said to be worth three hundred thousand dollars at least. This is by nio meanms a bad bargain of itself, but the secondary benefits will largely swell the sum. For we hoold that the improvement of this water power and the construction of a broad and dcep canal will greatly redound to the general prosperity of the State. In the discussion the canal seems to have been overlooked, whereas it will per mit water navigation and thuns facili tate the transportation of cotton from some of the largest producing counties in the State. It is just as important to complete a linik in the navigation of the Broad, Congaree and Bantee Itivers. as to construct a railroad. Much more beneflcial to the State would it be to open this canal than to build the Greenwood and Augusta Itallroad to divert a heavy trade from Charleston and Columbia to Augusta. We would be pleased to learn how such a road is to benefit the eastern * section of the State. And yet the western counties clamor against the canal, because they erroneously be * lieve it will do them no good. There is no consistency in this. Every rail moad of imiportancee passing through thme State raldiates from Columbia as a common centre. Whatever Improves Columbia improves the country, and the towns connected with it. Estab sh large factories in Columbia, and on overy bale of cotton manufhotured there will be a double gain, the freight on the cotton and the freight back on the cloth. Again, the disbursement of several millIon of dollars a year in Columbia to 'operatives, is a direct gain ;to the whole State. Could Lowell be cut out from the heart of Massachusetts and located on thec banks of the Congaree without injur ngall Massachusetts and benfiting all South Carolina? Time will be re quired to build up a second 'Lowell here. But wvhen the accessibility o: * the cotton is considered, and the mild ness. of the climate, which never closem the factories by freezing, feetories are a fboegone conclusion. It has beet Bald by skilled manufacturers that five cents a pound cani be saved by Southeri hetories. This means over twenty. to dollars a bale. Will not thc Whole State reap the benefit from thisi Again, a fixed tun Is required t( mahutatithe State governe4.t every ~ 'Z'hogreater the wealth of -the Ut~,the lossthe levy required.

It is often a 'Aeap phim to give away a little property toenhance the vjue of the rest. lOthor water power will in time be developed, atid the great problem of prosperity will be solved .that of bringing the producer and.con sumer More closely together. NEIHBOIXo cOUNTIS. Chester. -Reporter, December 11: Mr. A. K. Craig died at. the resideice of his son, Mr. J. E. Uonig, at Blackstock, on the 3d instant. He was postnamter at that Place. -On last Friday Ellison Robbins, colored, of (ho 'Ttrkey Creek section of this county, while at work on the ppmnses of John Templeton, in York county, was instantly killed by being caught. in some part 'or the ma chiinery ofa cotton press. At the sa me tno a white man, named Thomas Mock, was seriously injured. -The town of Chester has pushed its commercial influence into the sur rounding counties by means of the en terprise and liberality of its business men aided by its railroad system. Now it is going to test the policy'of "bringing the mills to the cotton." It 18 conteil templated by a number of the moneyed men) to establish a cotton factory, to be operated by steam. It has bee-n demonstrated that steam .as a motive power in cotton fictories, is 1no iiore expensive than water power. It is useless at this day to argue that cottonl factories in the South will pay. There is not one, even on the smallest scale, In the South '" hlh is not paying a larger dividend than the best nitaged factory of similar capaeity and same amount invested anywhere in the Nor hi. We are assured that the move ment in Chester means businessm, A bill has already been introduced in the Legislature to charter the company. Laneastor. -Ledger, December 10: We learn that a little boy, aged about five years, sonl of Mr. ELaly Langley, living live miles south of the viflage, fell fromli a table while atteilptillnlg to get a (rilk of' water, on Sunday eveuing last, anid broke his left leg just below the hip. Dr. Watt was sent for and adjusted the fractured limb. -Jim Montgomery, colored, aged thirty-five years, lavinig a wife and flive children, living about three mii14 northeast of the viilage, committed suicide on Monday evening last, by taking, it is suipposed, imorphin'e and strychnine. ' Domestic troubles caused him to do the rash act.. He and lils wife didn't agree e.very time. Jim was a good Iegr'6, and always provid ed for his fim I ly. -Reiew, Decemnber 10: Mr. N. M. Cook met with a very painful acci dent on the 5th instant. While chop ping some wood Ie made a miss lick and struck his foot oi the inste), in fileting a very paillILl but not serious wound. -Mr. G. W. Kennington arrived from Baltimore on the 5th instant, where he had one of his eyes operated upon. lie took fever the third day after the olration and was conflneil for thirty days. This caused so inich iliflammatioli that lie can not see ally ont of it yet, but thinks his other eve is much stronger, and this one will be York. -Enquirer', December 11: At a meeting of the congregation of the Yorkville Presbyterlun (2itreh last M onday evenin g, the Rtev. Taylor Martin was choseni to minister toe the congregatin as stated supidy. It is not known as yet whether lie will ac cept the call. -Mr. Joseph) Hlerndon infoirms us that from six and a quarter acres lie has picked seven bales of' cott on, aver aglig 463 pounds to the bale. Thriiee acres of land is of good quality, and the rcmaiinder poo hill-side. He ma nured it all equailly, applying 175 pounds of fertilizer to) the acre. -The R1ev. WV. T. Boulwarec, colored,, of the Baptist deomIflinatlin, specaks .encouragingly of his recent work in the miinistry 'and of the progress his denomination is making. Sinlce his ordination last July, lie commenced preaching at Mt. Prospect, near Since ioeCrek, in Chester counity, with out a membler, and ump to this timle, with the aid of the 11ov. L. Feathetrston, has baptized thirty-six communicants, all memnbers of tha~t church. -On Thursday afternloon Miles Bor ders, coleored, a prisoneri in jail, at tempted1 to effect his escape by b)or ing through the floor'ef' his cell'in the thirid story with an auger which is wife had clandestinely conveyed to him. Miles was assisted by two white pi~nsoners, Pugh and Recide, the formner of whom is in jail for violation of the United States revemue laws, and~ the latter oii a chiar9:e of mialiclous mis chief; but the sheriff detected thiem be fore they had made much progress in their attempt. -The Rev. C. B. Betts preached to a large and attentive congregation in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church last Sunday. This was the oe. casion of his first visit to Yorkyllle in several years. Mr. Betts was for some time chaplain of the 12th South Care lina Regiment, and is kindly remnem bored by the men in gr'ay to whom he ministered ini hospital aiid camp11. In Yorkville he met several members o1' the regiment to which lie w~as attached, all of whom were glad again to graspi his hand. (lEN. GARY FoR GovERNxOR.-Genj. Gary captivated one of the edlitors8 of the Georgetowvn Tiames and Comet on his recent visit to Columbia. lie says: "The welcome lhe gave us, and the greetig, was characteristic of the man and will1 long be remembered, lie is perfectly free ini expressing his vlewvs in relation to the necxt Governorship, and while lie is tired of puiblic lite' still, if it is the express desire of the Democracy for him to lead them in the next campaign, he0 will comply. The people need such a man-one of decided character and views,. and one who is neither afraid nor' ashamed to speak his mind on any or all occa slonslons." As to the' "needs" of' South Carolina, just at thuis juncture, weo know a whgle regimenit of men who do not consider General Garyv with his extreme views anud welli known character as-a politician, the man for a loader. We know lie has some warm friends and supporter's, but unless we are very much mistaken "thme people" would prefer some one else. There are a number of. gentle men ih the State just as decided ini their views as General Gary, and just as free to oe thoem, bu -they do hot run in the , cn hannel with his -no by an$ eana. und still t)iey ~ron-pure Dem at-Cot TiHlE ZFlei*IHT ON Q0TT0Y A Ccrmtnainttion from tih Merclants of WIunsboro--The Matter Shown Up in Its , Trite Light--Theo "Magnanilnity'' of thne Iftilroad People. I Editor. Ec/ister: The local notice In thO Register of the 5th Instant, re lating to the tariiW of the Charlotte, ohnbiai l and A uguista Railroad, coin tails the truth, ut, Iot the whole I truth, 11and initentionlllv on vour - part, we believ", was lialble to 'mis- 6 lead the public. We, therefore, Ie spectfilly ask the privilege of adduc n additioaiil thebts aund tigures on the subject. The road seems to claim) to have always charged ia dollar andi a halt a bale on cottim from Winnsboro to Columia, and since its 'victory'' in the Circuit Court, to have, with maiignatinity to a Iiilleii Ibe, volini tarily red(ulcled its rates all alone the linoe. The rates have indeed becel' re duced from whmt they wore ill Juntte last, but they still greatly exceed the ta-il' in operatioi ber'ore the war, when the road Inade mI oney and paid handsome dividends. It wNa.S proved, in the case of Elder & Co. agaiist tho 1 road, and not controverted, that pre- i viouis to tle war tihe ch arge oi cotton froin Winnsboro never exceeded the t limit prescribed for hecavy articles seventy-nine cents on a bile of four' liil(i.rd and fifty poinds--while the limit on cotton as an article of mvas ur-eient would be one dollar alt niniietv-nlinie and i Ihalf' conts. A'ter the war, whlen tile courts wero lax, the road undoubtedly exceQvled its charter limit on certaii articles, and, a,s We hold, also oil cotton. The t average rate charged was a dollar and a half fori a bale of 4150 pounds 'ir loss, I extra chiar'e beilnr miade for extra Weight, but loo for ex tra bulk. We hohi numberless receipts that prove t this.. It there was a variation for I weighi, and( one for bulk, Is not the conclusion irresistible that the clarge 1 was itade by weighit and w8as there fore inl exceSB of the clarter- linit? e When the road, bv excessive charges 1 and ruilous discriniilltionls, lad Comit peolled i recourse to the courts, it thou t for the firpl, tine enunciated its theory, L that ill tle world, inchii itself, had been mistakeni fr 11a Cntuir or SO aini thaltl cotton was "aill aiticle of mul r(eent." cWhere -.vas ever be fore an Instance of a corporation in- C terpreting a charter adverse to its own interests tbr thirty odd years?

Under protest it re duced the rate to seventv-ninie cents. in a tev weeks, discover'iig att extra mile or so in distance, it raised tlie rate to eih' lty-five cents.

It' maiilginniimiity was the cilef' totive of the ioad, why this ex tra cent? We will group these rates again, as they will bear repeti tioi .liefore the S war, from 35 cents to 60 ents; after the war, $1.50; in _Juntje I 1 .b9 Stl.2(i.

The freight from Winnsboro to Cohnnbiia, thirtv-five mile, is $1.26 ; tfrom Columbi'a to C Charleston, 130 miles, $1.25, or, as some say, for we cannot obtain the rates, $1.00. Yet the Charlotte Rload claims to have reduced freights to the lowest paying rates. Agaiin, we iap- i p~endo an aticl ie fromi thle Augutsta Chr'onicle (and Constlilutionalist, of the 6th inst., on freight charges: "The merchants of Augusta have s good reason to comiplaini of the freight tl rates charged by the Charlotte, Co)- 1 Inuibia anid Augusta Railroad.
