Anothes conviet Leaves John Whittaker, convicted at the last term of coart ot assault and bat tery of a high and aggravated nature and sentenced to one year on the chain gang, made his escape on Tuesday night. It will be recalled that the Harrisons with whom Whittaker had his fight escaped a few weeks ago, and Whittaker has been anxions th'. t -the Harrisons should be recaptured. - This may have had something to do with -his determination to depart. Whittaker had been made a trusty and did the cooking for the gang. A few days ago, however, so it is said, another convict was given the job of cooking and Whittaker had to work like the rest. It is upposed that this also had something to do with his iight. Up to the time of going to press ntothing had been heard of him here. - -s.is tie lle Kind You Usi Ala Bought 10E THE SUITERERS IN INDIA.

That a history of that interesting Deriod is needed, that it should be written now before all the actors in that great drama have passed away, and that Professor Davis is the mans to write it, are truths which have forcibly presented themselves to the minds of many citizens. We have good reason to believe that Prof. David himself is by no. means indiffer ent to this claim of public service we may almost say of duty-upon himself; but his exacting professional labors have thus far left him no leisure for any outside duty however impor tant. It is therefore a special p:easure board of trustees of the -outh Caro- so, Itna College instructed the qxeentive WO committee to provide for the appoint ment in June of an adjunct in Prof. to Davis' overcrowded and overworked roi department. When this is done, it is tOe hoped he may be able to devote a per- set tion of his time to writing the history ' of '76, as well as to other public ser- ste vice of great interest to the college and to the State, such as the prepara- ril tion of the Centennial Catalogue, to which the Society of Alumni has til already invited him to undertake. No Pe ether man is so well fitted for either tie work. X m Ca No Right to Ugliness.

Elliott Interviewed a4 so the Col Proposed Road---Ho speaks very cgg En.ouragingly or It- tioe A notiCe has been published in TiE Iani \EWS A&xn HERIiw by Mr. T. K. roa lliott and others, which is the pre- S liminary step towards securing a Char ter for a railroad between Winnsboro nd Camden. The notice attracted sonsiderable attention here, and a -espresentative called upon Mr. T. K. Elliott for some information. He ranted an inte.rview, and the qnes ,ions and answers will doubtless be interesting to our readers. When seen Mr. Elliott was asked: I notice you are and others are ap.b plying for a charter for a railroad 'rom this point to Camden, what have ron to say as to the chances of its con sruction ? Mr. Elliott replied: "The proba hilties of its being built amount al- fin nost to an assured fact. Sub'crip ions to the enterprise to the extent of m ibout $2,000 per mile can be easily secured, assuming that rights of way will be given." How do you ?ropose to raise the subscription ? '$I have not sifted the constitution md the law as to the power of mnuni ipaliies to vote bonds in aid of rail- J roads, but our attorney is of the pinion that it would be legal. Pre sming shin it would be legal, the an town of Winusboro would be asked o vote, say, $50,000 thirts-year 5 per 01 :ent gold bonds to be placed in the in b:ands of a trustee not to be delivered an to the railroad until the road is com pleted and the first train bas passed aver it"H Assuing that the town could Legally ee schk bnds and would do are you morally certain the road uld be built, and within what timei 'I would be willing, if necessary, go into a reasonable bond that the Ad would be completed within If a months barring a mooey panie or ne such catastrophy." Vhy have you selected Camden in ad of Columbia for instance? 'A road to Columbia would necessa. r parallel the =eathern, while a road Camden would pass through a fer and undeveloped country, whose )ple are a.nxionifor railroad facili, m and Irould probably subscribe are liberally to obtain them, and at mden we would reach two of the ger systems, outside of the South , now operating the South, namely Seaboard and the Atlantic Coast no." ome other questions were asked Elliott, but he was net ready tc iwer them just now. Though not ormed by Mr. Elliott, we can say t the parties at the back of tht teme are not dreamers or mert mcnlators. They are in earnest, anc they ai supported by the peopli d eneo.
