We houe the statement is true and that the road will be built: and the success to ine present time of those inteeesied in it-, in the "' face of immense obstacles, is encourag i{g., But observation and e.perieuca each ts to w tb bold our whoopiog o "ee suea-matters until we see more done and hear less ta ked of." True. It wo:jt do to whoop too much over these ihiags. We hope the Tuinoris true, and we would like to see workf>egun,on he Au,usia and New beriry end of this great railroad eafer 'pse.: It was our understauding tL'at bi the last Legisature passed the Act dating the township bonds, ihat w. v--k would be commenced on be CA usia and Newbery part of this oad witbin twoweeks; in fact, we un ersood thattbe coaaac.s for finish . ng the grading had a!l been made, and " hat as soon as the Act in question re ' =eiEted the s'gna: ure of the Governor, ors:would be commenced with all e speed.

There seems to be considerable trou 'ae and 'some discord in both the Re publican and Democratic parties.- The epublicans have issued an earnest ap p tirough the New York Graphic " fbr iarmony within the party. There .'=seems to be considerable disaffection meng Republican leaders at present. ' are too many who are trying to f3d-and to satisfy their personal am hiti?tn in securing places for themselves " or"their f:iends: On-Monday it was endeavored to hold caueus of the Democratic party in sington and when it was found that there would be some kicking ;'. 'mong some of the reptesentatives -fom.tobacco States agreeing to a policy ~ estred by a majority, it was decided iot to hold the caucus.. The.trouble with the Democrats is in ~-~egard to.the tariff and internal reve ud.e The Greenville News thinks the Seinocratic party is split, and that the Setering wedge has been diiven. The sm~ocrmtic party has stood the test for ;ilong time-and we do not believe it 'is ~~oing to pieces. yet. Still the majori Sties in all parties must have respect for r~the~iions and honest convictions of nIe inorities, otherwise they will *ek. The majority must rule, but they -have some regard also for the in 1Btof theiminoriLy. - ~Wf, do these things mean that the 'parties are dividing, and will new - beorganized? What are the :k ofthe times? DEr pVO'hd TO PARTY. E e4otion to party, whatever may heccessity for it in sections of the ~snry, is becoming one of the most ~e ile forces in the general demoraliza ~laof our people. The law that all n~sare lawful within the party is ~d.k1zng in the extreme. It enesdishonesty and abuses that wiultimately destroy any people." SThiere is more truth in these words thnweare at times willing to admit. '~~~eexistence':of parties seem to be ryto the management sud'con tof affaiirs in a country and govern neintlike ours, but a slavish devotion toparty is not conducive to the devel S .oment of the purest, truest and noblest mnanhood., It is unfortunate to be so circumstancedl as to make it necessary *be devoted to party whether you _endorse the man and principles of the party or not. It gives no room for in aldep'endence of thought or actions. That a nnfortunately the situation we are Jt thisasection of the country. n~t.twhat can we do about it? We ~cadn'ot afford to have a new party in 'histate if even it was desired. The momient there is a division in tne .esnratic party, it turns the govern over to the Republicans and meof us know what that moans- in thia State. This being the case all efforts should be used to make our ~poties as pure and elevating within .the party as p6ssible. A gooddeal is being said aboutJudge "Adi's charge to the grand jury re cently, when he took occasion to speak of the various reform measu-es p:o 'posed,in the management of affairs, and especially of his opinion on the ques toni of the redu'etion of judge's salaries. k Well, that is a matter in which he is personally interested and his mention - ngthem2atter in abe charge to the -arabad jury is a matte'r of taste. A great mnany things are said in many charges Yo.grand juries that pertains very little ~-to the duties:of grand jurors, vet it is no wayhe judges have of getting their ew before the public.

A TOENADO AT PACOLET. ts Tenant Houses Blown Down, but no Lives Lost. PACOLET, February 1S.-About 6 o' id clock this morning a tornado-swept re over this neighborhood, causing great b damsge to houses and crops and some hijury to persons. Whence it came and : -where it went, I am unable to say, but . I Tiave been intorimed of a few of the d casualties. From the south end it is reported that the house of Mrs. Davis Pety was entirely demolished, though he faily providentially escaped un hurt; Mr. R. Petty's gin house in the neighborhood, and the log house and e home of John Johnson were completely destroyed. Johnson has not yet been heard of. but is supposed to be safe. Mrs. F. C. Haynes's barus and stables and all out-buildings were completely d tiestroyed, with four head ofsheep. The : cabin of Dawkins, a colored man, was e blown down and caught fire, but Daw o. kins fortunately escaped badly bruised .ut not dangerously hurt. A tenant house of Gus Littlejohn was destroyed with 2.000 pounds of seed cotton. Mrs. Moscs Woods's untenanted house was dastroyed. and Mr. J. K. McMahon's o't uildings were completely demolish Sel. The place of Mr. W. L. Woods was badly damaged. It is impossible yet to estimate the e damages. The course of the tornade was about a half a mile from this place, and all lumber, fencing and consider - able timber over a stretch of country It about a quarter of a mile wide suffered re fron its ravages. The noise it occasioned bounded very much to us like the e rumbling of an earthquake. The ten . ants on the places named were the i.l heaviest sufferers, some of-them losin all their worldly goods, including even ed t heir shoes. of A CYCLONE IN ALABAMA.

A -e kable Head Carried by a Little New Hampshire Child. H ANOVER, N. H., February 18.-The Dartmouth medical college has found a remarkable case of chronic hydro cephalus, or water on the brain. ThE subject is a child which has just died, aged tbirty-two months. At birth the child's head was of normal size, but it about two weeks it began to enlarge When twenty-eight months old the child weighed fifty-two pounds, and the head was estimated to weigh fort to fifty pounds. The dimensions o1 the head were as follows: Following the longitudinal sinus from the root oi the nose to occipital protuberance, for ty-two inches; outer carthus to top of frontal bone, seven inches; to vertex twelve inches; from one ear to the other over vertex, twenty-seven ani one-half inches; from neck to top o occipital bone, fifteen inches; distanci between tempera; bones across anterio: fontanel, ten and one half inches. No treatment is possible in suci cases except tapping the accumulatior of liquid in the cerebrum, and thi would have been fatal. The child wa never weaned, and after the first tw< weeks of swelling was unable to sup port the tremehdous weight alone o hold its head erect. The only symptom of intelligence given in the little sul ferer was after the head had so enlarge as to draw up the lower lids and al most close the eyes, when it would lif its hand and attempt to draw down th, tightened skin.
