CHSISTIAN SYMPATHY.
There is an editorial in Belford
Magazine for March on "Vacant Pew
adWorried Pulpits" that takes th
osition that we are on the down grad
as a nation. Itis claimed that we ar
,- fast getting into two classes, the ver;
ich and the very poor. Not only i
histhe ease in our large cities but als
the rural districts, for statisticsshoi
wtt while the farmers are increasini
'' hernumber of farms is decreasing
encea very large percentage of ou
d p.. tlation is becoming tenants. Th
- article quotes from ameeting of Protest
autministers held in Chickering Hai
Iast November, the following:
"The population of New York Cit;
for years been steadily and rapid;
ncreasing, while at the same time th
umber of churches has been relativel;
"eereasing. In 1840 there was on
otestant church to every 2,000 pee
in 1880, one to 3,000; and in 1881
-netto 4,000."
To this fearful state of affairs th
editor adds the following:

Mr. John A. Chapman is busily en
gaged writing the Annals of Newberry,
taking up the record where it was left
by the Hon. John B. O'Neall. He will
republish in the same volume. the
"Annals of Newberry" written by Mr.
O'Neall, a book now out of print. This
work brings the record down to about
1850. Mr. Chapman will take up the
record there and complete the history
to the present. It is his desire to have
! it full,!accurate, and complete, and he
will be glad to get any information in
s regard to any event connected with the
s I history of the county; or the services of
e I any citzen of prominence. in the
e county.
e This book when completed will be
' one of rare value and interest to every
s citizen of the county, and we know of
D no better man to prepare it than Mr.
r John A. Chapman. He has been en
gaged in literary labor all his life. He
is the author of the first edition of what
r is known as Steven's History of the
e United States, and also of one or two
volumes of poems, and many miscel
1 laneous articles.
Mr. Chapman thinks he will have
y the Annals ready for the printer by the
y close of the present year.
e He will also deal with the industrial
y growth of the county and its natural
e resources. And a full history of the
. part Newberry took in the late war.
We think there would be little diffi
e culty to raise money and form a com
pany to build a cotton seed oil mill at
1 this place and have it ready for the
B trade next fall. We have heard several
- gentlemen say they would take stock.
1 All that is needed is for some one to
take the lead and the company can be
formed. It would be a great benefit to
e this town commercially. No one will
question the advantage the Cotton Mill
, has been to the trade of the town. The
more factories we can get the better it
will be for us. Who will move in the
matter.
e The republicans in the county are

FATAL WRECK ON THE AIE LINE..'
Two Sections of a Freight Train Collide
Two Persons Kilied and Several Others
Seriously Injured.
[Special to The Register.]
CHARLOTTE, N. C., March 16.
Freight train No. 20, which left Char
lotte at midnight last night over the
Charlotte and Atlanta Air Line, met
with a disastrous wreck near Clifton,
S. C., just sixty-eight miles from here.
The train was an extra long and heavy
one, and was consequently divided into
two sections and run on ten minutes
time. Near Clifton is a siding where
trains pass, and is at tho terminus of a
long down grade. The first section
had not been running on good time and
was slowly moving on the sidetrack
for the passenger train to go by. The
second section came thundering around
the down-grade curve and went dash
ing into the rear of the first section,
spliting the caboose and four cars and
scattering them on either side of the
track. Nine cars of the second section
came tilting and piled in a mass upon
the engine, which was totally de
molished.
Conductor E. B. Laird was in his
caboose on the first section and barely
escaped with his life. His legs were
broken and his,shoulders badly mash
ed.
Flagman Davis was also in the ca
boose and was very badly injured.
Engineer 0. L. Creighton was in the
cab of the second engine, and he is
thought to be fatally wounded, having
been terribly burned and scaldod.
Creighton's fireman, Tom Hunter, es
caped with a broken leg and his face
and back badly scalded.
William Rogers (cotored), brakeman
was standing on the front car when the
crash came. He was thrown headlong
and fell among the wreckage. He was
removed dead.
A tramp by the name of Higgins was
stealing a ride on a box car and was
killed. FLOURNAY.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE DIASTER.
GREENVILLE,March 16.-Section No.
2 of freight train. No 20, South bound on
the Air Line road, ran into the first sec
tion of the same train at Clifton station
about 4 o'clock this morning, killing
Wm. Rogers, a colored train hand of
the first section, and injuring George
Higgins, a young man whose home is
at Easley, so that he died three hours
later. Conductor Laird of the first seo
tion was severely hurt and Engineer
Creighton of the second section was
terribly scalded.
The engine of the rear train was com
pletely wrecked, being thrown diago
nally across the track and twisted into
an indistinguishable mass. Three cars
of the front train were crushed and two
cars burned.
A coroner'sjury empanelled at Clifton
did not fix the blame in their verdict,
but the testimony of -the officials of the
two trains indicates that the first section
was rnnning too slow in passing the
station, causing the second section,
whose schedule was five minutes later,
to run upon the first.
A SECOND DISASTER.
Soon after this accident, another life
was lost on the same spot. As a special
train coming from Spartanburg with
medical aid for the wounded, ran up to
Clifton some cars of the wrecked train
ran down upon the pilot of the engine,
crushing the leg of a negro hand, who
afterwards died of his injuries.

[Special to The Register.]
The cotton platform and warehouse
of Cely Bros., merchants, was burned
here at noon to-day, with the entire
contents of over eleven hundred bales
of cotton. The fire started from a

bia. It was composed of soventy-five
cars, twventy-five of which were heavily
loaded. Engine No. 9, one of the im
mense Three C's consolidation engines,
drew it. Conductor Tinsley was in
charge of the train. The length of this

the reader knows that it lacked but a
few yards of being a half-mile long.

TO CLDWIZE IN ARsAS 5.
Wholesale Exodus of Negroes from North
Carolina.
RALEIGH, N. C., March 16.-The ne
gro exodus from this State is about to
take the form of a colonization of ne
groes in Arkansas. Negroes are holding
mass meetings almost nightly, and ne
gro orators and preachers are urging
them to colonize. The negro preachers
of this section are especially' active in
the matter, and issued a circular to-day
callinga meeting to organize the "North
Carolina Emigration Association" for
the purpose of securing organized action
toward colonizing all the negroes in the
State in Arkansas, where they are
offered lands for a trifle. The circulars
say that the white people don't want.
them here, and they have determined
to go. It is complained that the election
law, the school law and other laws
passed by the last General Assembly
were passed to crush them out. They 1
propose to colonize on unoccupied lands
in Arkansas and follow agriculture.
A BIG STEEL DEAL.
A Gigantic Company With a Capital of
S20,000,000.
PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-Special
to the Inquirer from Chicago says: The
most important deal in the steel- trade
ever made in Chicago was announced
yesterday in the consolidation of ihe
North Chicago Rolling Mill Company
and the Union Steel Company. Nego
tiations to this end have been going on
for two months, and they were practi
cally concluded last week. The news
was kept very quiet and only leaked
out through trade circles. The name
of the new company has not yet been
decided upon, but it will be an entirely
new one. The capital will be $20,000,
000, of which between $5,000,000 and
$6,000,000 will be issued for the cash
now in the treasiries.of the respective
companies, and the balance will repre
sent the valuation of three plants. The
stock in the new company will be dis
tributed to the shareholders in the' old
ores upon a basis agreed upon in their
consolidation. The combined works
will form the largest steel plant in this
country, and will probably rank second
only to the establishment of Krupp, in
Germany. Steel rails are the principal
products of the mills, and in rail mak
ing the company will have no com
petitor in the West worth speaking of.

SLEEPLE&S NxMHTs, made n-' B:'able
by that terrible cough. Shiloirs Cure
is the Remedy for you..
LetterfromNWashvOle, Teni.
To-day the Weekly News and Cou
rier of February 27, came to hand. I
was much pleased to see the three
column notice by "A. E. G.", given
Newberry. If it is true that in the
next few years money investments
will be changed from the West, and
Northwest to the Sonth, and I doubt it
not from manifest tendencies, Nev -
berry can do no better than to adver
tise herself. Self praise indicates a
grossness, which makes Southern
modesty blush. But to tell busines
men that you have what they are seeb
ing is business. It has been prett y
well demonstrated that if we do no%
look after our interests in a businew
like way they will go untended.
I have been in ten or twelve coun
ties anl as many towns in Middle Tev
nessee, and invariably I met with dis
appointment where the people do not
make it a point to bring themselves and
possessions to the notice of business
men, seeking to invest money.
The hills are heavily wooded and the
valleys are exceedingly fertile. The
Duck River lands, said to be the finest
in the state, yield from 75 to 100 bushei
of corn per acre. I had alhiost said
spontaineously, so littqe labor is re
quired. Yet with this harvest and al
most exhaustless pasture land, many
of the land owners are in very narrow
circumstances, because of self imposed
isolation. While on the contrary many
for whom nature has done much less,
live in comparative ease. It pays to
be sought. But we must make our
resources known before they can be
sought.
If you will allow me I wish to say a
word concerning Fish University (col.)
which I visited a few days ago. The
University owns twenty-five acres of
land, two large buildings and a gym
nasium, in the northwestern part of
the city. On entering the grounds I
saw a neat honest looking student by
the name of Lester, I called to him and
asked to be shown through the
buildings which he kindly consent
ed to do. We entered the main build
ing in which are the chapel, libraiy,
museum and recitation room, all of
which I saw, but the feature which
struck me most was the neatness of
the hall and stairway, not a bit of dust,
and judging from the floors and stairs
I would say tobacco is an unknown
article among the students.
Upon inquiring I found that the
janitor work was all done by students
who were making their own way in
college. Lester, a member of the junior
class, said that he taught during ;the
summer and made $100, and worked as
above indicated during session in ordei
that he might get through. Students
pay their own way. E.;pense about
$12.50 per month. We then visited
Jubilee Hall, the dormitories for the
female part of the school, residence of
Prof's. and dining hail; arrived just at
supper time. We were ushered into the
parlor for a few moments, where I saw~
a large painting of the Jubilee singeri
who travelled over this country and
Europe and by their singing raised the
money to build the Hall. Then we
were carried to the dining-hall, and saii
the boarders, upwards of two hundred,
come into supper; quietly with no on.
necessary noisethey took their places
at the table and stood till the blessing
was asked, all with perfect order and
the promptness of a military organiza.
tion. I was impressed with the gen.
tleinanly and lady like appearance os
every student I saw. I think, fromr
what I saw in the many !ittle things
around this institut:on, that the negrc
may under proper instructors educait4
himself and thereby become a bettem
citizen. I believe he should' eduenite
himself, for then, asin the ease of thie
whites who do so, he could appreciate
it. A school director of Dickson Coun
ty, told me the other day that the besi
teacher he had in his dis.trict wa :.
negro girl from Fisk Uni'versity. Hii
said her methods of teaching wer<
fullyt up with the times, and that he:
goverinent was pe-~ect. I do no
think it is so much sball the negro be
educated, but whon shall educate him
and undr 'what influence. .One qu.
tion in negro education, as in that o
the whites, is shall the principles o
Christianity mould the character, or:b<
naturalistic andl pantheistic principle.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May, 185, he was attacked
with a very pai'ful breaking out of the skin,
We called in a .hysScan, who treated him for
about four weeks. The child received little
or no good trom the treatment, as the break
ing out, suppos:d by the physican to be hives
in an aggravated torm, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing. We
were frequently obliged to get up in the night
and rW) him :th soda in water, strong !inl
mF'nta, etc. Pi .ally. we ca'led other physi
eL.ns. 'ntil to -ss than six had attempted to
cure him, ai -liktr failing and the child
steaddly gettin.. worse and worse. until about
the; 20th of last July, when we began giving
him c.uT;CuRA .dESoLVENT internally, and the
CUTIcURA, and CuTICUBA SoAP externally,
and by the last of August he was so nearly
well that we gave him only one dose of the
EISOLVENT abeout every secord day for about
ten days lon,r, an0 be has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady. In
