ELBERT H. AULL, WM. P. HOUSEAL, Proprietors. NEWBE RRY, S. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1887. THE RAILROAD ELECTION. "There is a fear that, on account of the obscurity of the terms emr--oyed in the Amendatory Act cl: ring I the Columbia, Newberry and brens Railroad, the township subscription proposed here will not be valid unless a majority of the qualified voters of the township shall vote for it-not a majority of those who vote, but a majority of all, voting and non-voting. Therefore, let every man who has in terest in and hope for Columbia go 1 to the polls next Tuesday and vote "subscription." No registration will be required. Every citizen who has resided in the State and county for the legal period can vote. There is : too much apathy and unthinking ] confidence. Vote !" The above is taken from the Co lumbia correspondence of the News ] and Courier of a recent issue, and may with equal aptness be applied to Newberry. The election on this - subject of subscribing $10,000 from t this township to this road will be held to-day, and every one who feels interested in this road and the town of Newberry should go the polls and yote for "subscription" to-day. The terms of the amended act apply here as well as in Columbia. It is best to take no risks. We feel sure that a _h qualified voter s t ws or of sub- c i g the small amount asked in ere order to secure the road and they 18 should take the trouble to go to the ser polls and vote for subscription. The Yo amount asked Of this township is very me small compound with the benefits to m be derived from the road coming to Newberry. We have now the pros- ' pect of becoming a railroad centre, me and nothing should be left undone Ne in order to secure this for our town. m Because the charter provides thatta this road shall be built by way of Ju Newberry, does not mean that the na; road is obliged to come, whether UI the people of this township give tie anythig towards bringing it here or arc not. It is a very easy matter to of amend the charter. We would be col acting very much in our own light to ma stiybyand le hsroad flank orHc town by a few miles because per- di chance we refused to vote a subscrip- of' tion of $10,000 in order to secure it. prc .....)rtaxes wi'll not be increased more than one-half of one mill in order to give the $10,000 and when the road is built the increased valuation of property arising from the road and shi the property of the road itself in this rot -township will help very materially to Ra pay this back. rot *We are induced to say this much, ( not because we think there is any ner very pronounced opposition, but only isdi to call the attention of those who are sul1 in favor of the road to the impor- ] tance of going out and voting in vOt4 order to have a majority of the quali- city fed voters so that no question should bee be raised as to the validity of the sub- wa: scription. Go to the polls and vote WVa for "subscription." The more rail- Wa roads we can have coming in here the better it will be for our town. ItA will increase our property, give em votE ployment to more of our people, stre bring? population to our town. and elec -help build up manufactories here in laws our midst, and be of advantage to T us in -a thousand ways. to-d It is the opinion of the attorney vote of the road, and he is supported in the this view by eminent counsel in T different portions of the State, that stati +he section referred to would not in- ship validate the election even if there tion should not be a majority of all the and ---qualified voters of the townships. The words "majority of the qualifiedB voters" means the majority of the ss voters who cast a ballot at the elec- lina, tion as distingui.shed from "qualified shar electors," who are entitled to vote, now In other words a voter is one who setts donE votes. But let us have a full vote, be r< The board of directors at their as t meeting in Columbia on Tuesday comi night authoriz"d the President to re- of a ceive bids for building the piers of forg4 Wen Broad River bridge and also the earhs bridge, and the contract will be let of ti soon -also for all the road to Pros- threE perity.

There is no doubt that we often pass mnanswered questions down the class 0o rapidly. Sometimes we find that a hild cannot answer very quickly, al hough he may know the answer very rell. Haste with such a pupil is often njurious as it makes him have little con idence in himself, and soon causes him ,o underrate his own mental capacity. This is true in' some instances, but enerally slowness on the part of the !acher to pass questions is injurious. Yhv? Because it does not stimulate or ncourage rapid thought. It is one of ldren to be quick in their answers, to them know that promptness is al ys commended. We do not hesitate aying that of the two evils, the one he greater that gives the pupil too ch time for the answer. It encour : slowness and unconcern on the t o f the pupil. ar - oo- at )n last Thursday evening the closing reises of Newberry Male Academy re held at the Opera House. Prof. nes Kinard, the principal of the m oo], had an excellent programme pared, which consisted of speeches, in itations and dialogues. The boys, B bough young, carried through their ~erent parts well. They showed that tir y had. been well trained for the oc ion. The principal announced that school will re-open on the first Mon rin September, 1887.

I was greatly. annoyed with a onstant roaring in my head and my iearing became very much impaired. The discharge from my nose w:.s pro use and very offensive, and my general ealth impaired. I tried most all promi ient physicians, but they did not cure ne, and I used various advertised prep trations without benefir. One day I chanced to read a remark Lble article written by a prominent citi ,en of Athens, Ga., stating that he had )een permanently cured by the use of ight bottles of B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm. Being skeptical on the subject, [ wrote to him on the -,ubject and re eived a most encouraging answer to the ffect that he had been cured long mnough to be thoroughly satisfied that ao return of the disease would en-in. I then sent to the drug store of T. E. smith & Bro., and purchased B. B. B., mud to my utter astonishment and satis Eaction, the use of ten bottles has re tored my general health, stopped the roaring sensation, entirely healed and :nred the nasal catarrh and I am proud to recommend a blood remedy with such powerful curative properties. I shall continue its use a little longer and feel confident that I will be entirely cured'of one of the most obsti nate cases of nasal catarrh in the coun try. The business men of our town know of my case. - N. C. EDWARDS. Lampassas Springs, Texas, May 1, 1886. Blood of a Texan.
