E hoi-rib'emrder of the negro
woman and negro man in Colleton
couaty- should be thoroughly iuvesti
gated. It discloses a most heinous
crime, without any just provocation.
The occurrence shows that it is time
definite ard vigorous efforts were
taken-to suppress lynchings.
SENATOR TILL3LAN and Governor
Fvans may have said a great deal that
vas tra,- in their spcehes in Atlanta,
but we think it was a great breach of
te propriety of 'he occasio'i to have
s.oken on the line cho-en by th in.
- Thy seem to have aroused the imlig
n.ui>n of th: exp)sition un:hor:tit.
TPE Constitution is fin's :ed, aid
most everybody is glad of it. It will
not suit everybody as a natter_of
course. If it pleased and suited every
body, it would be a very marvelous
state of affairs. Taken as a whole it
is a good in-trument. We believe
that a great many new features in the
constitution will prove satisfact .ry.
We would have omitted the ander
standing clause entirely in the article
on suffrage, and would have modified
the homestead law3 considerably and
many other things would have been
done if we bad had the m.aking of it,
but as already said on the whole we
like the new constitution. The b dy
composing the convention was a de
cided improvement On legisiative
bodies of recent years, and we are,
therefore, not surprised to find that
-their work is flavored with more con
- servauIsun-we,orr,-- an~U
l itical bodies for the last three or four
years.
ME. CLEVELAN D'S muesssge comes up
to the standard of all of hislpublic ut
terances. Clear, terse, strontg anid
forcible it is a very able document
and should be read carefally by all of
our citizens interested in public affairs.
The message deals chiefii with our
foreign affairs anid financial condition
As to the foreign affairs the average
citiz3u is not specially interested. The
President's.treatment of the financial
question is very able, and we think
should be 'convincing. lHe shows
clearly how the greenbacks are used to
deplete the treasury o f gold. It ctnnot
be redeemed or cancelled, and hence
it goes the rounds serving the purpose
of drawing gold from the treasury.
How long such a state of affairs can
continue no one car, tell. The Presi
dent proposes that the greenback
notes be retired. His suggestion as to
the national banks will not be gene
rally approved. We believe that State
banks regulated and controlled by
strict laws, with the tax on them re
moved, will afford the best memis of
increasing the circulating medium and
* giving it elasticity.
OUR TRIP TO ATLANTA.
ANr. Editor: If you think your read
* er3 -wil1 be interested in this, after
*~.havijg read the very excellent letter
-eof your local editor on the Exposition,
-you~ may publish it.
* .. Wife and myself went by Augusta
- fron choice, arriving there about 5
p. m. Monday 25th November, nIt.,
-where we spent the night with friends.
- Taking the Georgia Railroad train
Tuesday morning we reached Atlanta
about 4 p. in., several hours late, on
*account of an hour's wait on the Coast
Line at Augusta, and a train of ten
coaches all heavily laden.
There are many points of interest
along this fine road of which I would
like to speak I will venture only a
few:
Crawfordsvi;le, the borne of Alex
ander H. Stephens, Georgia's great
sutesman, where stands the late resi
dence of this great and good man,
known a.s "Liberty Hall ;" also a fina
monument to his memory. Then the
little town of Camnak, where '.a road
brznches off to Macon about eighty
- milas distant. Camak, you will re
member, is. to be the- terminus of the
Wadesboro, Winnsboro and Oamnak
Railroad, if Mr. McMaster can get it
through, Greensboro, a neat lit: le
town, is about midway, being 83 miles 1
from Augusta: and 88 wiles from At
lanta. But the point of greatest in
tera.t to me is Stone Mountain, a mass
of solid granite rising hundreds of
feet above the su'rounding country,
and from a distar.ce seeming to kiss ~
:he skies. I had passed it both int
if Chickamanga in 1863, but I must
lave passed it in the night going, and
-eturning I was wounded in the leg
tud had to rem tin on my seat in the
-ir. This is the only way I can ac
:ount. for my never having seen it
)efore. I am sure if I had ever seen
it the impression would never have
been erased from my mind. I have
seen a good deal of mountain scenery
in Viaginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania
and Tennessce, but none of it im
pressed me as Stone Mountain.
On reaching Atlanta we went direct
to 236 Ell;s street, the residence of my
nephew, Duane A. Russell, where we
had been invited to make our home,
and our sojourn there with our kins
folk was indeed a pleasant one, the
people and the weather seemed to have
conspired to make us happy.
Atlanta is a big city, but perhaps it
is the most awkwardly laid off of any
city I ever visited, .Charleston not ex
cepted. Even Peachtree, the main
thoroughfare, is a puzzle to any stran
ger, and I defy any one not acquainted
with the place to know just wk en he
is on it and when he is of, unless he
ascertains his whereabouts and takes
his stand or sits down. It twists and
bends and eplits open, and now you
are on it and now you are somewhere
else.
We went on the Exposition grounds
Wednesday and Thursday, and while
we do not claim to have seen a'l that
was on exhibition, we think we took
in a'-out as much as any other two
pairs of eyes could have done in the
same length of time. Were I to under
take to specify all-even if I could
recollect it, your paper woul i not hold
it, nor would your readers endure it.
I will venture only a comparative few.
Our own South Carolina exhibit is no
insignificant affair, indeed it is second
to very few in minerals, fruits, veg
tables, phosphate rock, granite and
field crops. I felt a little pride (if tha
is the word) when I looked through it.
The California exhibit of fruits and
vegetables, melons, etc., is a marvel,
and so neatly put up in jars and cans,
plainly labellcd. Just imagine onions
(white silverskins) as large as the
crown of a man's hat, pears about the
size of your head, peaches that will
weigh perhaps a pound or mere, water
muelons weighing about one bundred
pounds, squashes and pumpkins weigh
iog far up in the scale i.car the two
hundred pound mark, and you have
some idea of the grand scale upon
which the California fruits and vege
tables are grown.
Louisiana, Florida and other S:ate;
have also fine exhibits of these and
other articles. The display in the
mineral and forestry building from
numbers of States is wonderful, the
house itself, built of logs of different
kinds of trees and upon a large scale,
is unique in its grandear and magnifi
cence. There you see wood of almost
every conceivable variety, in blocks,
logs, and sawed into slabs, in the
rough and dressed; also pertrified
woods that are indescribably beautiful,
sawed off in blocks, showing the grain;
minerals of every variety, from nug
gets of gold as large as a man's fist to
huge boulders of granite and coal.
Machinery hall is also a curiosity.
Immense steaur engines and electric
dynamos are in motion, driving count
Ia machines, constantly turning out
[reiprouu sxwm - tw-r.m -.
almost anything in tbe line of metals
nd fabrics.
The Southern Railway Company has
a reiarkab:e display of minerals,
stones and woods in its building, which
have been collected along the line of its
roads. There I saw a frame made of
our pieces of wood sawed from logs
hauled to the mill from some battle
fields of the late war. In the centre
of each piece of .wood is a lead bullet,
which in sawing up the logs was
fonnd. The wood is nicely dressed
and jointed and the balls still imbed
ded, having been sawed through and
dressed with the wood.
In the government building are
some rare relies. . There we saw the
saddle upon which Ge t. Winfield Scott
rode into the City of Mexico in 1846.
There also we saw two brass cannon
captured in the Revolutionary war,
and two old flint and steel muskets
used in the same war, and a kettle
drum. Of course we saw the won
derful exhibit of fishes, which was the
observed of all observers. The Plant
railroad system also has a large and
varied exhibit of plants, fruits, birds,
animals and minerals. We went
chroutdh their coal mine by the light of
lanterns.
In the old Confederate relic building
we Eaw Jeff Davis' cradle. tho wed
ding dreas of a daughter of Jno. C.
Ca'houn, Beast Butler's famous and
brutal order in regard to the women
of New Orleans, and scores of other
things of intetest to one who took
part in the late unpleasantness.
I cannot venture to describe the
mechanics and fine arts display; it is
beyond my ability. One thing of
great interest to my wife was a section
of natural forest from Pennsylvania,
representing a rocky bill surrounded
by a swamp; -in the swamp and upon
the rocks and perched upon the natural
fre4t trees are numerous ducks, owls,
hawks, crows, woodpeckers, eagles,
wild turkeys and various other birds
of large and small feather, and ani
mis crom the little ground squirrel,
cat s.quirrel and rabbit on up to the
po -cupine, the deer, the fierce panther,
hohling down a fine buck with one
paw, while his fierce and wicked eyes
glare at you as if he would spriog
tp mu you, while the blood oozes from
the Jeer's throat where he has lacerat
ed it with his horrid teeth, and from
his lair in a cavern amongst the rocks
an ugly black bear peeps slyly out,
vvtching his chance to seize .some
uniwary and helpless animal. for his
re. Several rr.ttlesnakes lie coiled
t, t:e foot of the hill. These ar e all
real animals, but of course they have
passed through the hands of the tai
lermist. But I must desist. We saw
the Uberty bell of coarse.
And now if you will indu'ge ma a
ew lines fmither I will close. I bad
2eard of the cycloramna of the battle of
ettysburg, and having participated in
.he third day's fight of that bloody
