THE NEWS AND HEiLD. WINNSBORO, 8. 0. TUESDAY, MAY 31, : a a 187. 1. I. ausnoLL B, zEiORS. W. :1G. MDONALD. B .Unintelllglble. "Railroad official," in his letter in quiring into Mr. McMaster's position on the railroad question, asks: Are you not aware that in making the rate from New York to Winnsboro the question of water competition is an element and that the rate is made o. the lowest combination and that under the long and short haul clause no such element will enter into it or be permitted, and that the rate to Winnsboro and other Interior towns will be much higher than now? I think if he was aware of these facts he would not have written as he did. The enforcement of the fourth 'section would kill interior towns. The question Is unintelligible. While he was about it"Railroad official" ought to have explained what he meant by saying that "water competition Is an element, and that the rate is made on the lowest combination." ie ought to have told, too, how it was that "under the long and short haul clause no such element will enter into it or be permitted." If he had done these things he would have given some rea son why It is that he "thinks" that If Mr. McMaster had been aware of these facts that lie would not have written as he did. "Railroad official" further say.: "That the enforcement of the fourth section would kill interior towns." For this timely exhibition of gen erous solicitude, we are of course ex tremely thankful. In this (lay of perfect peace, when the lion and lamb may lie down together, we may almost cease "to fear the Greeks even when bearing favors." Blue Laws. It is worso than nonsensical for the Legislature to pass an Act that Is not approved by the great body of the people. It is positively harmful be cause it tends to destroy all respect for law. The same unfortunate result follows every effort on the part of executive authority to enforce laws that have become obsolete by season of being out of harmony with the spirit of the ago. The people won't obey, and are therefore compelled to resort to all manner of evasions. The "old blue laws" of Now York will presently iirnish good Illustra tion. The inhabitants of the cities of New York and Brooklyn have stub bornly resisted the recent eff'orts to enforce thiem; they have applied to the Legislature without success to repeal it, and now the Star comes along wvith the following bold and significant sug gestion: The question is, Shall weo in New York and Brooklyn observe an enact ment which Is conatemptuously ignored In every other part of the State? Shall we continue to revive against our selves a dead letter which Is kept upon the statute book only because it is irk seine and oppressive to us? Or shall we do as the Pharisees in the country (10 take the course that Is most agree able to ourselves and commend to our neighbors what to tisem Is most repul sive. There is no doubt about the final outcome of It. The people of New York City don't believe in the law, and they are not going to respect It long. The Legislature was given an opportunity to save itself fr'om con-i tempt and it would not. Now we shall see what we shall see. The Lawyer's JFame. It was the wish of flume's family that he should bo' a lawyer, and ho went so far as to commence the study of' the law; but it seems to have been distastef\il to him, and ho says him self: "While they fancied I was pouring upon Voet and Vinnius, Cicero and Virgil were the authors which I was secretly devouring." If David llume had continued th6 prosecution of the study of the law posterity would probably have heard but little of him. The greatest of the English philosophers would hardly have said of' him as he did a short while agqgin a public' address at Eden burg, "That I make bold to pronounce David Hlume the greatest philosopher that the eighteenth century produced, even though that century produced a Kant." Prof. Huxley tells us in his life of flume that "there appear to have been in Hlume all the elements of which a good lawyer Is made; clearness of judgment, power of rapidly acquiring knowledge, untiring Industry, and dialectic sill; and if lia mind had not been preoccupied, lie might have fallen Into the gulf In which many of the world'e greatest geniuses lie buried-professionil eminence-and anight have left behind him a reputa tion limited to the traditional recol lections of the parliament house or associated with Important decisions." This is highly complimentary to the bar, but it is a warning to the youth votry of fame. The lawyer's rame is hit contemporar - ,d' with hlq. 3r.( Lord Er8kne thq greatit a4e v to t that the English bar ever $$rpd to is even now scarcely known byoe 'tt e oirelo of his professional succeesos; and Mansfield, Hale and Hardwicke livo only in the groat judicial decisions which they rondered. A TRP TOTXAB. NUMnER TWO, .Messrs. Editors: In our last we took leave of your readers jusc as we emerged from, the depot building in Chattanooga. The first sight that greeted us was a large force of labor ers, white and colored, busily at work laying water pipes along the street. The moi'ning air was quito cool and our overcoats felt very comfortable, but those workmen being urged on by their boss, a son of the Emerald Isle, were with pick and spade and shovel making the hard, rocky grouid fly, and though in their shirt sleeves did not appear to need any fire to warm by. the streets are ndrrow and appear very rough, but were crowded with wagons and other vehicles busily transporting the different articles of commerce. The people were hurry ing along the pavements in every direction as though everything in life depended on their reaching a certain polut in a given! time. All of which tended to; strengthen the impression that this Is a busy, bustling, active city, and, has a brilliant future. Judg iug froin. the bulletin boards displayed on the streets, tild .whole town is "for sale", at prices, however, which makes the average mau'e' head swim. A boom has struck "the' town, and trans actions.in real estate partake a good deal-of the nature of Wall street doal ings in stocks and bonds. Any one wfth only a small amount to loose had better be careful in making invest ments in any town with a big boom on hand. The church is active also to its duty, and in the most public places are notices giving the location of the different churches, name of pastor, hours of service and a cordial invitation to the stranger to attend. The writer had no surplus cash to deposit here and so made a hasty tramp along the principal streets to satisfy himself, returning to the depot in time for the departure of the Miem phis & Charleston train, and bidding adieu to Chattanooga was sout whir. ing along at a.rapid pace in the direc tion of Memphis. In the distance loomed up Lookout Mountain,. upon whose summit a company of capital ists have excavated a beautiful lake, and are now erecting a large, hand some hotel building. In 'the memory of some of us this was once a pretty warm place, but now that peace reigns in our land, will soon become a famous summer resort.: Our rdute lay along the Toniessee River and we rush on, now, -apparently about to plunge bag and baggage, into its liquid bosom, changing our ioursd just in time to prevent so 'dirba calamity and see it flow -peacefully along on its way to the sea. Now we find ourselves in utter darkness, when all of' a sudden we burst from the tunnel and the sun shines upon us as brightly as ever. frow we enter a superb iron bridge which carries us -safely over Chicamauga Creek whbich creek gives the name to a bloody battle-fleid bt a .few miles distant from pur poiut of crossing, where a loved brother gave up 'bis life in defense of his own beloved Southern land. Can it be possible that our cause was not just? That after' all we were sadly mistaken and deserved deafeat? Sleep on dear brother, rest in peace. We do know that our citi zen soldiers wvent forth in defense of an invaded country, and will receive as they deserve, thle homage of all good citizens. "Glorious is his f'ate and envied is his lot who for his country fights and for It dies." Shis M. & C. Railroad, as it winds its way along, on the one hand the mountains, on the other the river, which it crosses, but to coss again in a few hundred yards, is itself a grand triumph of engineering skill. I fell In conversation with an old resident of North Alabama, who gave me an account of affairs in his section of country during "our late nnpleasant ness. He joined the Southern army, while his brother cast his fortune with the other side. When they loft home each made a vow to kill the other if the opportunity ever presented itself. Fortunately they never meet In battle, and now live as near neighbors, but said my new-made frieaid, "we have not spoken to each other yet." I as sured him that the war was over, but I fear to littie purpose. In answer to the question, "What is land worth along here?" the reply was, "They ask two hundred dollars~ an acre, but it is not worth a -- cent." lie was a farmer, hence his valuation. The land Is full of iron ore, which is 'held In almost as high esteem by its owners as it was by a good old man long since gone to rest. Just after the battle of King's Mountain, as the story goes, this good old gentleman led In prayer at a thanksgiving meeting i something like these Wyords: "Lord, we thank Thee for the many mercies Thou has givent us, 'and the many battles we have won. We thank Thee for the groat victory of Cowpens, where old Tarleton was forced to flee before our victorious troops, We thank Thee for the death of old Forgn son at King's Mountain, and. If Ye had not suffered the British and Tories to' burn Billy 'Hill's iron wvorks, we would ask 'no further favors of Ye." We passed through a rather thin, but, picturesque country, the towns giving evidence of a good degree of prosper ity, reaching Memphis about 10 o'clock at night. Here 'we had a lay over till morning and scuring a bed retired to rest, which privilogei we also now eo;tend to our readers. j, v, Bartett's Esapeial (coIogue Cardnot be surpassed for F"ragrance, ele- 1 gance and duratillity.
