We do not s< how the town of Newberrv can affor to let the road be built through t1: county without coming by the towi and the road can ill afford to leas the town of Newberrv out. Pres dent Moseley only wants $15,00 from township one in order to buil the road by the town of Newberm What are we going to do about it'. LEiT THE~ COURTh TRY (CRIM] NA LS. We sometimes think that th press of to-day, while its object i praiseworthy. at times lets its zei over step its judgment. As soon a a hommicide .is reported, or a crim of any kind is charged against a mat the press proceeds at once to try th case, and denominates the killin murder, and raises a great hue an and cry for justice, and that the la' be enforced, all on an ex p)arte state ment of facts in many cases, an, sometimes before ther have thin .Everv man who is so unfortu nate as to have killed anotheri not guilty of murder. and should~nc be denominated a murderer. A] this too is done before the due pre cess of law, and an investigation ca: be had by the courts. This is a] wrong. Our courts are instituted fo the trial of those charged with crime and the instances in which the guil ty escape are not near as numerou as some newsp)aper editors woul< haive us believe. Let the ?ourts tr those charged with crime and no the press. All this abuse of juries and charg ing them with a failure to perforti their duty is not calculated to mak the jury system more effieient. nor t make juries any more ready to con tict. If it has anv' influenne at all it wvill be in the other direction. W. do not remember ever to have seenl Newberry- jury fail to do its duty and we think ther can always b counted on to do their dutv fearless ly and regardless of consequences. This tirade and loud elamor fo justice indulged in at times by som< of the papers of this State. when ever there is a man charged wit) crime, looks like an effort to preju dice the public against the man s charged. This is unfair because th - editer who does this does it withou a full statement of the facts befor him, and in many cases wit] only a meagre statement. Nat nrally our sympathies are aiway with the man who is killed. but thi should not cause us to do injustica to the living. nnd jurieans. ndpro os tv let them iry lthu-e charged with cri:ne. and if the press generally would do this. we be lieve there would be fewer guilty OflS ('SCIfe thaii now. A MOUNTAIN SENSATION. r The yS3teniatic Robbery of Trains on the Air Line Railroad by an Or a anized 4ang of Thieveh. ..pC;e l I>ispifh It li' th rs Uwl i'oiri,e. ( .i":ENvt Li.:. A piil l17.-A sen-ation was e.li-ed here 1(o-day by the airest f a wiite mani and two negroes charged with being implicated in a scheme for whoiesale robbery of the through freight train pas-iiig this point on the Air Line R:ailroad. John Caldwell, the white man of the party, is very widely known in the city and has rath(r a fauthy repu tation. He claims to be a mechanic, but s for some time has been employed by T. W. Davis in selling organs and machines. Of the two negroes arrested with him t Wi. Froneberger is a light mulatto and moves in the highest circles of colored society. He has perhaps the best repu t:ation among the people generally of any man of his race in the city. His arrest in consequence was t shuck to s those who knew him I The third man, Joe HIarri, is a negro of unsavory reputation. All three were committed to jail, but later ii the day Froneberger was released on $250 bail, s Wilson Cook and J. A. Russell being his bondsmen. The facts of the arrest are withheld because of the remarkable na s ture of the scheme of robbery unearthed l in connection therewith. Since about November la4t the authorities of the a Richmond and Danville Railroa;l have e missed various articles of freight from trains en route southward. Goods to the a amount of nearly $5,000 have been re h ported missing. The robbery was traced 0 to this point, and Depot Agent C. II. Watson began investigations. About the same time Police Officer Fred Schlapback discovered that John Cald ti well had been offering privately a large lot of plaids for sale. Schlapback fol lowed up the clue in conjunction with a detective sent on from Atlanta. It was e discovered that a systematic plan was e being operated by an organized band. o The scheme was to have a member of the gang conceal himself in a loadec freight car at some station north of this, select so much of the cargo as he deemed e available, and as the train passed the r fair grounds, just outside the c:ty limits, - the goods were to be thrown out. Con iederates would be in waiting to spirit the goods away until they could be sold. Last t:iglit the supposed scene of opera tions was watched. About 10 o'clock, after the south-bound freight had passed, a wagon drove up to the railroad bank e and was hastily loaded with boxes, up s parently heavy, and driven away. The o watchers followed, bitt in a manner un accountable lost sight of the vehicle al together. This morning a search of the s vicinity was made and L.o boxes of to S bacco w~ere found lying by the road-bed -and another was found in Jo IHarris's, -marked to Wetutmpka, Ala. Signs were evident where a large lot of boxes had ebeen thrown from the tratn and where a d wagon and its load disappeared to is a Lmystery. A number o'f other articles o wvere found in other places, but none e can be identified until the tracers are received from Atlatnta. The arrests were emade as detailed. The officers still want dPorter Wellby, a negro of bad character e an d unusual int elligence, who is believed u. to be the ringleader in the affair. Hie e .escaped this morning and no trace of _him has been found. Other parties are under stuspicion, but so far no railroad men have been implicated. Since his incarceration the w~hite marn, Caldwell, .has informed the chie f of police, Kennedy, where a lot of 7.500 yards of plaids can be found at a store in the cotuntry, and - his statement is taken as indicating a clear "squeal" later on. The whole e buisiness is regarded as a consummate s piece of systematic robbery, and( nothing else has been talked of on the streets Fl'RTHIER DEVELOPMENTS IN TH E TRAIN EOBBERY. GREENVILLE, April 18.-"1t's the Sbiggest piece of systematic stealing ever Sworked on a Southern railroad," was Iwhat Deetective HI. T. Fellers had to ysay to-night of the Air Line freight rob bery scheme after a hard day's work on the case. Since the affair was sprung on the public by the arrest of Caldwvell, -and the two negroes, Harris and Frone - berger on Saturday, rumors have been s countless of new developments said to tinvolve men prominent in business andl social life. No confirmation has vet Ibeen afforded these rumors, but four -more arrests made to-day have added to i the cxt iteiment and increased the rumors 1 of further sensations. r It appears that the band have carried on a regular traffic in goods captured *fromi passing freight trainis, disposing of -the stolen articles to merebants all Sthrough the couinty as well as i:' tihe city. Trace Agent Wall. of the Richi mond and Dauville Road, who is wvork ing up thc case, says lhe has over $~>,000 worth of goods reported short in the last f:-w months. all of which were stolen at - this poinit. Caldlwell. wvho is nowv in jail, has acted as salesmani for the gang, and in ev ery case the goods were sold bel>w thle market prce Only staple Sarticles wvere dealt in, twenty-tive or -thirty bales plaids, t welve sacks of coffee, three bales of cotton, besides numerous lots of tobacco and cigars being among the lots already ileintitied. The scheme appears to have been care fully plan ned and included niumerous confederates. John G. Griftin, D). C. -Moore, George Johnstone and Harry Leomanm were arrested to-day, making seven arrests in all. Griffin is a profes sional horse trainer, and has been here Since tihe Piedmont races last fall. lHe hsa stable of valuable racers be Ilonging to Heath. of Kent ucky, quarter - ed at the fair grounds and has become well known amng horse meni here, aim;ong whomn hie bears a good1 reputation. iIe is behivedl ly thme oflicers so be the rinmgleamder in the gang, as all operations Shave beeni conducted near tihe fair grounds, where G riflin hats livedI sine h le caine here. Harry Leoman is a y1ouing white man employed by Gritlinm a~ a hostler. George Johnstone is a brother in-law of Caldwvell's. aind known to be intimately associated with him.

Fer GREI;NVILLE:, April 19.-The scene of Cle operations in the Richmond and i')aI- was ville train robbery investigatiou was was transferred to Central, Pirkens County, otin to-day, and the excitemel't inl this city out: was slightly diminished in conequence. Gre Early this mortling Len 'Neely, a bar- thet keeper, was arrested and committed to sub i on the chai ge of oflcr:ng stolen ,oods mec for sale. No other arrests were made bee in the city during the day, but on the tior morning Air Line train De:ective Fellers mat and Trace Agent W\all vent over to y Central to work up a clue in that direc- I. tioi. me( At Centril, John Br:dwell, who has erel been employed by Moore, one of the the parties in this city arrested yesterday 'T'h( as driver of the wagoii ttd by the rob- vite ber-, was capt ured and identified as the ber man who hauled away the goods stolen gro from the freight train last Friday niight o'el when the theives were spotted by the adu detectives while at work. Fourteen obv boxes of tobacco included in the Friday wot nights haul were found secreted tunder wa; a lot of straw in an old stable where be 1 they had been laced on Sunday night. all In the store of T. A. Bellotte eighty- I. four bolts of missing plaids were found, of and in J. E. Bellotte's establislimen t another lot of forty-four bolt=. The tan Messrs. Bellotte readily gave up the tha goods to the ollicers, saying that they ed had bought them in good faith. Several boxes of cigars were idenitiried at other Iib places, and the eolicers returned to this las city this afternoon with the prisoner and the a cargo of reclaimed spoils. Reports of scattered lots of contra- wit band goods continue to come in fronm to p:oints all around, showing that tihe gang acr has operated on a wide scale atnd atp- Sta praently with a complete sys:emi of ter division of labor in the business. It isa5 nlw prbal that the amount of theab robbery will reach anywhere tunder 410,- Gr: 000, as w traces conme in every d ay toca swell. the aggregate above the original ~ est inmate of $0,003. mit In the mention of merchants yt eterday i in the city who had bought goods from Cadwell, the agent of the th' ives, an o error was made in the substitution of the ibil name of C L. Foster for R. C. Foster. C. L. Foster & Bro. have had no dealingsg whatever with the men who sold the stolen goods, and claim about as muchilt knowledge or the affair as the ian in the moon. w Chi A Straight Line to Spartaaberg. bid Nucs and Courier. tl CoLuntnIA, April 19.-A meeting of C the stockholders of the ColumLa, New- ln ma berry and Laurens Railroad Company ties will be held here at 8 p. mn. on Tuesday, the the 213th inetant, for the purpose of rati upj fying thme consolidation whlich has been arranrged wvith thme Glenn Springs Rail-bi road. President Barkley and about half a dozen of the directors of the Orange burg and Lewiedale Railroad Companyca came to Columbia to-:lay to meet Presi-ut deiit 31oseley, of the Columbia, New- A11 berry and Laurenus, to endeavor to ar-bo range for a consolidation of the two lines. President Moseley met themi in r the reading-room of the Hotel Jerome. A 1 They submitted in general terms a prop osition for a consolidationm and were re- 'j quested to place it in formal aiid specihic aga terms for the consideration of the di: ec- ani tors of the Columbia, Newberry and p)er Laurens Railroad, at a meeting to be eve held very soon. This was aull that was wai done, but it is enioughl to alarm every nig man who has the advancetment of Colunm- vill bia at heart. Thme proposed consolida- con tion means simply this: The Orange- 1oll burg and Lewiedale Road will run up to e,i; Prosperity and there utnite with the Co- S lumba, Newberry and Laturens and Cot push on to Spartanbtirg. The Columbia, Ian Newberry andI Lureins Roaid will start fari from Prosperity, not from Coltumbia. 3 This ei:y will be flanked. It will a p have its best feeder, Lexington, tray- 300 ersed and alienated by a road running acri through its centre. Orangeburg antd Icati Properity will quietly draw away that f roi trade, wvhich is thme mo:-t implortant to Get Columbia. &)ur people may ams well plai raliz.e i:i- at once. The Orangeburg Iacri and Le*wiedale nianagers are bent on low this arrangement. It will give them an 3 outlet to the tmountains and miake their fror road a real trunk line. Columbia is the rustinig away, waiting for some one to as san Broad River for her, and give he r a No bride to the promised land. After C ionhs of talk she has failed to take the Ion irst necessary steps to vote a township gra subsription of MA000O which she must pei ~ive to get the road. It is disgraceful itng itd di-heartcnin:g. There isn't much E nore ime for inaction. Th'le Newberry. par Uon and Spairtanbturg Veop)le want a wil railroad.

April 18, 1S,7. ) bis has been a lively night in the ag ltural b;fSlding. After two postpone its the time had come for the open of the bids for the agricultural ex mental =tations, and the board of culture met at 8 o'clock for this pur in the large room recently used a; nate clambcr. All the members of board were pre-sent exce"pt Mr. A. S. erry, of Clarle-ton, who was kept v L ickiiss. A number of bidh e hefore the board. but only tlhosc e by ci: izenS of Greenville, Spartan. and Darlington were backed up by ;ations. The representatives o' e counties, however, made thing; ly in the ante-rooms, showing greal rest in the success of their plans anc rously discussing the situation, while board deliberated secretly in the bit a. )artanburg was represented by Sen J. W. Woflord, Solictor D. R. Dun Col. Joseph Walker, Capt. N. F ker and Col. John B. Cleveland. Darlington delegates were Repre alive E. R. McIver and Messrs. T. aregg and E. W. Cannon. Green sent Capt. 0. P Mills, Mr Johr uson and Representative R. May, eland. The Greenville delegatior the first to be heard. The hearin full, and during its continuance th -r delegat ions were on the ragged edg< ide. The papers presented by th< enville delegation, and supported b3 n, covered the tender of a count3 cription of $15,000 made by a nmas: ting of citizens, $5,000 of which hat ia guaranteed by individual subserip s at the time the formal bid wa: le. ritten assurance was given by Col P. Hammett, chairman of the mas: ting, that the amount would be coy 1 by individual guarantees and tha county would vote the subscription : committee endorsed this, and in d the board, or a committee of mein =, to visit Greenville and note it wthr and advantages. About 11 ock the Spartanburg delegates wer itted to the chamber of fate. It wa ious at that hour that no conclusioi ld be reached by the board, and i even doubtful whether there woul ime allowed for the consideration o be bids to-night. rof. N. F. Walker was the chair mai the Spartanburg delegation. All th< ubers urged the advantages of Spar burg, dwelling largely in the fac t expensive buildings had been erect >y the Inter-State Grange Encami it, that the State would erect an ex tion building as authorized at th session of the Legi_lature, and tha railroads were building sidings an rv convenience for communicatio hthe proposed site. Their offer wan urnish free to the State two hiundre. aof land contiguous to the Intet t Eneampment grounds and a quat of a mile outside the city, to pay als< nus of $2,000 and to give the fre of thirty acres of land owned by th mge Association instituting the en ipment. 'he Spartanburg delegation alsi sul: ted a petition from prominent citizen nioni County that an experiments ion be established at or near the cit part anburg on account of its access ity to all p)arts of the Piedmont re a by railroads and excellent higi is, ind furth ermore because of th~ ptability of its soil and the healtl: 1ss of its clim:ate. 'he Darlington committee put in thiei ek about 11. o'clock. All agreel irman McIver p)reseniited a wri tte: of 85.000 as a bonus for the establisla it of the station for the lower tier nties in D)arlington County. Da: ~ton is strongly low-country in thi ter, as the competition in the coin belowv the variable liaie separatin, twvo sections is not as great as in th ier tier. le board did not consider any of th Spresented except the three abov ed, which were supported by argi ts, and will not authorize the publ ion of the terms of such other bid il they shall have been considered few minutes before midnight t rd adjourned to meet again to-mo; morning. ~ERSONAL INSPECTION OF SITES T BE MAD)E BY THE BOARD).

A telegram from Major E. B. Murray, of Anderson, of yesterday's date, drew atte:.tion to the fact that the tract was located near the corner of the three counties and adijacent to the Air Line and Blue Ridge Railroads, and asked that it be inspected before the board made its decision. The boird decided to b.gin theis an nual inspection of the p-hosplate terri tory on the 9th of May. They will leave Charleston by steamer on the 10th, and the trip will occupy about five days. Mr. Richard Graham, of the State weather bureau, submitted a report on the organization and extension of the service in South Carolina, and made re commendations for its improvement and for the inauguration of river observations at various points. The board instructed the commission er to continue the telegraphic weather reports to stations already established and to collect information as to the most practicable points for the es tablishment of river observation sta tions, together with the coast of gauges, and report his findings to the board at their next meeting. This is a very important matter to the agricul turists of the State. The N1ews and Courier has been making these observations for Years at its own expense, and they have proven very valuable. It is peen liarly a work for the agricultural de partnent, however, and may be greatly extended with advantage. The re mainder of the morning session was con sumed in the auditing of accounts and the consideration of unimportant routine business. The board met at 8 o'clock to-night and remained in session until nearly 11 o'clock, discussing the acceptance of bids for the two agricultural experiment sta tions. After all their thinking and fig uring they came to the conservative con clusion to visit in person at an early day the several sites ofTered, and afterwards to make their decision. The excursior t will be a pleasant one. It has not beer decided whether it will he taken before or af.er the annual phosphate excursion. f Positively no other information than this could be obtained from the members of the board, which adjourned subject t< 1 the call of the chairman.
