The Richmond Ter-uinal Companyf has scooped in the Georgia Central and!r now controls about 9,000 miles of rail road in one systein. The (eorgia Cen tral system contained about 2,500 miies of road. This is one of the biggest deal" of the day. It would seem that it is i nost useless for a town or city to try to build or have more than one railroad, for the big corporations soon swallow the little companies anyway, and about the time you think you have competing lines, they all fall into the hands of the big corporations. Augusta has five rail roads leading into the city now, all tin der the control of one big corporation. The Chroniele thinks though, inas much as the railroad trusts cannot scoop the Savannah River, that Augus ta is still safe; but what will keep this trust from scooping the steamboat lines on the Savannah? It looks as if trusts, monopolies, and big corporations, are going to scoop the country. We are still of the opinion that money is king and rules this t country. Possibly it is right. GOOD PLUMS. A good deal of interest is taken tbis 1 year in the county and city offices in New York, almost absorbing the Presi dential contest. These offices are worth - fighting for in a financial point of view, and there is no wonder there is a scramble for them. "The sheriff of the county of New York is worth in emoluments almost as < much as the Presidency of these United t States. He receives no stated salary, this executive officer of New 1.crk, but the fees provided by statute amount to 140,000 a year-or $1'0,000 for the term. He has nine special deputies, a cashier, i live bailiffs, a secretary and eleven t clerks. In all, the sherirt appoints o officers, and handles in a year half a million dollars in fees. The county clerk to be elected in New York in No vember receives a :tatcd salary of , 000 a year. His deputy receives $5,0O0 and his cashier :i,000. He appoints sixty persons, whose gross salaries reach $90,000. The three coroners re- c eeive $5,000 per annum each for four years. Each coroner appoints three physicians, who get $3,f,ax1 apiece. The president of the board of aldermen, to f be elected next month, gets (i6,000 per annum. His term is two years. This is why they sell out Presidents r and sacriflee parties. This is why we weep." In addition to these there is the a Mayorship for which there is a big fight f and which office is wo:th as much in salary as the presidency. sUPPORTING LOCAL PAPERs. The people of Radford will not look in the direction of adv'ertising the town. Trhey. will even attempt to cripple their town paper by patronizing ottices of *other towns wvith their job work and so forth. Still everyone expects the Democrat to boom Radford for all it's worth.-Radford (Va.) Democrat. We have seen many cases of this kind, and some business men seem to be incapable of appreciating the fact that every good local paper does its town ten~times as much good as it is ever paid for. Men having large inter ests in a town and deeply concerned as to its progress often try to see how little they can do for their own local papers. The papers of the South are to-day do ing far more for the good of their country than they receive credit for. Day after day and week after week they are telling of its advantages of soil, climate and minerals and of its progress. The facts which they give are wvidelv published in other papers, and thus~the good work is carried far beyond their immediate circle of read ers. The Manufacturers' Record has often noted with admirationl the great work thlat Southern papers are doing, and regretted to see how poorly in many cases they are supplorted by the people whose interests they are servimg. Manufacturers' Record. 'There is miuch truth in both of the above observations. Some people Iind' fault with the local paplers if they are not continually writing up the town and yet never do anything themselves towards helping the papecrs in the way of advertising and even in sonic cases send abroad to have their job work done, when they could secure the same work at home for even less than they pay for it elsewhere, all of which is legi tinmate if they desire to do it. We do not refer to this in any spirit of fault findir g, but wle desire to show the value that should be placed upon the local papers. A town without a local paper is soniewhat of a dead town, yet sonic people do not app)reciate the local papers, we fear, as they should. Simply this and nothing~ more. The great need of the Nat ional Demio craitic party seenms to be more funds. The South should respond liberally to this demaind for the success of the National D)emocralrie party mteans a great deal to the South. in fact it is more important to us at the South than to any other section. We hope the lack of a little mioiney will noit be the caiuse of defeat. "GOOD FOR CAROLINA." Under this head here is what the Augusta (Chroniele say of the Carolina exhibit for the Expositiom: "The Carolina wing of the Exposi tion building willibe somtethiog weh worth study. It is a majestic work. The great pyramid will be etched along" its basie coluns with diti'erent coloredI stones and minerals. The sides will be panelled in tine wood and polished cabinet work. Surmiountiug the pavil-I .on is a cap piece in grain, crowninig the position like a benediictioni. The ('aro> linia meni have gottenl the2ir exhibit nearer completion than any other de partment in the hail."1 We have not heard ot' Newvberry making any preparations for an exhibit at this Exposition. When we get our Three C's we will be clo.se to Augusta, and we should let the people kniow wmt a rich county we have over here. lt is reported f'romi Chiarleston thatin somet oif the best atud motst proininent Dmocrats wvill be c'and'ates on an in dependent ticke't for county ofticers aainist the regular uominees of the party. It seems to us that Charleston can ill afford to fight an independent ticket. We hope for the good of hari mony in the party there will be no in-t depenent ticket. in Charleston. THE TWO PLATFORMS. The Christian Union gives the follow ng succinct and yet comprehensive r ;tatement of the two platforms of the wo great parties contending for the ontrol of the government: "Two policies are proposed.

They narrated w lie conduct of the prisoners immediate- of e after the death, their unwillingness m > have the body examined, their at- E 1mpts to conceal the wounds, Senn's L pparent lack of feeling, his threaten- pc ,g with drawn pistol the wife of his ousin, who had noticed the marks of ll iolence. The route of the party was raced and nroof offered of M'lrs. Senn's de calth. Drs. Thompson, Kibler and ne enn, of Newberry, were examined as fr< ie medical experts who made the post iortem. Discoloration, they stated, ni ad by that time efiheed the marks of sil iolence, but dissection showed that Bi eath was caused by strangulation or pr ftcation, and revealed the absence f any natural cause for death, the 1 ondition of heart, lungs, etc., being ormal. Testimony was offered tend ag to show that Dave Senn had ill reated his wife, that they had once ?parated, that Miss Boland was the isturbing element, that Senn was once ut under bond to keep peace with his w< ife, and had at the timte made ugly pe ireats; that lie had once struck her di ith a stick as she lay in bed at night. foi At about 11 o'clock yesterday morn- ne ig the state closed, and testimony was eard on behalf of the prisoners. Affi- fo: avits containing admissions as to m; that absent witnesses would swear E ere read, showing that Mrs. Senn had .H een treated at various times for rheu- ru iatism of the heart, consumption and th sthma; that an abscess in her throat th ad been lanced, and that her husband th ad treated her with invariable kind- th ess. Several witnesses testified that )r. Thompson, when performing the Ti ost mortem, was under the influence at f morphine, and contradicted the tate's witnesses as to Dave Senn's con- th uct. Dr. W. G. Houseal of Newberry, wJ Een said that lie was present at the ev acond post mortem examination as a tel pectator, and heard the testimony St iven, and saw no reason to belive that th eath from natural causes was impossi- th le.

Horrible Domestic Tragedy in Abbevfile Couny-The Coroner's Jury Declares it Justifiable Homieide. [Special to the Register.] GREENwOOD, October 20.-On Friday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, McCreery Glyniph shot and killed John Glymph, his brother, at Mac's residence, near Hodges Depot. John had been boarding with Mac, who accused him of being too intimate with his wife, in consequence of which trouble has been expected between the two brothers for some time. Yesterday morning they both went to Hodges, where Mac told John that he must not return to his house again, and that he (Mac) would send his clothing and other effects to him. But John did not heed his brother's warning. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while Mae was standing in front of his door, he saw John approaching with a pistol in his hand. Mac, anticipating trouble, went into the house and got his shotgun. John followed him into the house, still flourishing his pistol, whereupon Mac shot him in the head, several of the shot penetrating the brain and killing him instantly. Mac surrendered and was placed in custody. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. A Prohibition Victory. WASHINGTON. October 22.-The Su premne Court to-day sustained the con stitutionality of the prohibition law of Iowa. The point at issue was the right to manufacture intoxicating liquors solely for exportation to other States despite State law, and it was pleaded that the prohibitory feature, so far as the manufacture for exportation is con cerned, was in conflict with constitutio nal provisions giving Congress the sole right to regulate inter-State commerce. The case is that of I. S. Kidd, a distiller, plaintiff in error, vs. J. E. Pearson and S. J. Loughras. The court holds that the State law prohibiting both the manufacture and sale except forme chanical, medicinal, culinary and sa cramental purposes, is not in conflict with the inter-State commerce provi sion of the Constitution, and the deci sion of the Iowa court is sustained.
