The Herald and News on Tuesday called attention to an op)portunity whih ,we think preseits itself to New borry;to seur a through trunk line of railway, and sw. hope that our- People will at least think well enough of it to investigate the subject- and see If t.here Is anything in It for us. Direct and through connection with the Seaboard Ali' Lino and the Ultimore and Ohio i1 in4t er thtt, ik wortl. looking Into, We. spoko to a prominent railroad prosident in regard to this very matter since writing the editorial and he says the scheme we mentioned is entirely feasible and that by leaving the Sea board track at Whitinire and taking the graded road .from there by New berry, Saltida and Edgofleld, the objec tivo point could be reached at less cost and leSs new road and through a much better country than to e imn by Cheraw to Columbia and this railroad man scolned to think if the townq along the route would look ino the matter and show'1 dIspositoMi to have the road we Imight have' another railroad to New :borry, and on to Augusta in a.little -while. It is certainly worth looking into. If any one will take the trouble to look at a map It will be seen that It is al most a direct line from Whitmire to Augusta as proposed, and it is nearer than byChoifaw- and -to Columbia, and then Colunbia could be reached over the C., N. & L. We hope Newberry will start tho ball to rolling and get the other townships along the route aroused and interested and a conference hold with some of the ritilroad oflhials inlerested In this ex tension. WITIOUT A COU'TV iiA IRMAN. Tlhe Democm'at of Newberry Cormuty are really without a County Clh1ai1rman. True, we have no need for, one just now; but, then, we ought to have one. We virtually had no County Chairman during the past campaign, for Mr. John T. Dule'XI, who wat put In that post Lion, was a -resident - of Colilla and had bcen f,r several years. P'or aught we know lie may be a member of.ta ward Club In the Capital city. lnit he - waa not a resident of Newberry County, and is'not, now. Our County Chairman a resident of Columbia, belongs to the ..ColumbIa Bar, and we poor fools have nb County Chairman. We thought at' the1 time, and expressed the sentilmont, that it was ia piece of the vei-iest non sense on the partof the Executive CoIm nitteo to mako Mr. -Duntcan Chairman. It was 1unbusiness l1k.. Mllglit'as well have chosen Mi. U. b. Whites of At lanta or Dr. A. .1. P. -Julian of Mason. - Fla.- And now that our County. Ohil' man has opened his .Lam -offl&e In the city of hINadott'lo i' it certainly must make those who elected him County Cldi'man fool shabby. At any rato we have no County ('hairman.--1Pr'os pority Advertiser. what is the matter widt, our friend and neighbor at Prosperity? He should keep his wits bottei, about him and be suTe lie is right before lie slashes and ('uts inI every dlire2ction. S~urely the d Is .pensary agitation ini our sister townm andi the big cotton mill and dheep) artes inn well and the commutat.ion tax has not.causedi a loss of memory aid1( a blot ting out of alh recent history. "We 1)001 fools" are net such "'poor' fools"' as our friend would make believe if he lng,without a county chairman consti *tutes "poor01 fools.'' No, friemd, Now bco'ry County hats a real live, living, breathing count.y chairman and1( has not been without one. Mrt. Jnto. T.1. D)unctan was pr'Ceent as a delegate to the county convention which met at Newberry on May 6I. A t. the meeting of the excutive commit teeothat same day Mrt. D)uncanavasoelect ed county chairman and served faith fully and well until the meeting of' t.he executive committee about the middle of July when lie wats prtesent and~ stat ed to the committee that Inasmuch as he had become a canidhcate lie tender ed his resignmation to take etl'ect on the election of his successor. On motion of Mr. Alan Johnstone the ,thanks of the committee were unani -thously tendered Mr. Duncan tor' his - uniform cour'tesy to the members of the committee and his resigination was accepted. At a meeting of the county convyen tioni held the first Monday in August Mf S. S. Cunntinghtam was unanits ly elected county chairman and has since dischar-ged the duties of the difice with ability andl impartiality and to the bantisfaction of all piarties concerned. What is the matter with ECditor With erspoon? IIas he been asleep during all these long months? No, you must find some other cauise for jumpi)ng on Mrg Duncan, if that is .yourt p,urplose, it LAn1feilinmg hin nyei' thel sho1ulders oft the'executIve committee. Really Newberry is not without a .polinty chairman. 'Siciter TIhurmond has beetn admit ted to ball in the sum of $5,000 and has gIven the b6ha. It looks now as it the teachers will hold thcir annual meeting at Par'is Mountain in Jutly. This will be a most delightful place if proper' arrangements can be maile to get there and get away. It continues to rain. But~ when we toead of the great floods on -the Missis, sippi and in the west we feel that we ~tre truly blessed and should not mur tnur. There Is not, only delay In tmak ibg ready to plant a crop but great loss of '~ life and property with thousands of Achres under water with doubts -as to Wheir there will o eve'n the possi biitj of making a crop at all this year. A x9ticA iOR HOiE ENTERPRIOJ. The material prosperity of our town and section would be greatly increased by starting up and developing indus tries and entorprises that will use ma terial abundant in this section, but almost worthless for want of a market. What we need are industries to bring Into uso our natural resources which can be made the means of keeping at home thousands. of dollars that annu ally find their way to the North and West. Tuke, for instance, the proposed or gat ization, 'le Carolina Manufactur lug Companv, - whioh, whon started, will mIpnufacture wagons, coflins, and other articles of-Wo'd. This will assist li. making valuable our oak, hickory, walnut and other native woods, whIch ex ports pronounce the very best for the above purposes; besides putting in circulation consid crable sums of money from the opera tion of the plant, thereby benelting 'he town at large, as well its the con .y, and paying a handsome dividend to i,ne stockholders; for tihe articles they p)ropose nanufactiring are as staple its flour, and, with pioper managenient, are bound to pay. The benefit is more than a casual glance will reveal. To illustrate: A man buys a wagon of Western make all this money will 'Ind its way back to the West except a very small profit to. the dealer; whereas, if these arti cles are manufactured at ioie, the whole amount Is put in circulation and wo all get a benelit from it, whether a stockholder or not. These home manfact,uriig enter plrIses are not enlcouraged its they should be. Our people ought to take a hand in getting them up. There is money in them, and we) hope to see the exapllple of the gentlemen getting up the Cairolina Manufacturing Conipny, followed along other lines, wien our little city, with water works, electric lights, and manufacturing interests, will soon be t,he banner t,own of the State. We hop soonl to record tihe fact that, all the stock in the "c'arolina"' has been tatkon, and the Company to ble ready in ashort Lime for business. Th is is strictly speaking a home enterprise, and will prosper if our moileyed menl shouW gi Ve it their cordial Support. OLADSTONE. Tho above name stands for all that is truly progressive and ennobliig inl statecraft and Juropeanl diplomacy. Tih Hon. Wm. 1. Gladstone, tile greitt English Coinuioner, who refuses titles fi'oml the Crown, hail shown, in his latO Philippic against the leadin"y Europe, in thl .'x-*16Ined naval do nstfi'llns agtainlst the Suiblime Porte, in orde. to check tile further horrible massacre of Ch,ristians, that lie is justly entitled to be known Its "The Grand'old MaNIL.' Verging on ninety years lie shows no (imiltion of mental strength an(] acquintitance with tie Eastern ques tion from the very inception of the 01m)roglio. The -ost of blood and treasure through wvhiichl the cruel 'Turk raiisedl hiis blood-stained statndardo above t,he horizoni of thle very garden-spot of Eturope; itind how~, from timie to t,ime, dutrinlg the century, itt t,he positive de nmand of the pow ers,thie '"great assassin" and ruthless robber has been made to give up some of his stolen prlovinees, its well its how t.he Sick Man and is hlaremi are being bolsteired by thme leiad ing Chrcistian nations are concisely told in detail. Mr. Glladstonle is justly severe ill his allusioim to what, is termed ''the integ rity of the Ottoman Empire!" 11un1 dreds of thousatnds of lives and hun dtreds of millions of dollars, have been the cost of keeping the mniserabtlle Turk in Europe, to say nothing of the holo caulst of Christ.ians slain! Mr. Ghtdstono shtows thait, the "'con cert of action'' by tIhe powers is no con cert at all; but that it Is in contraven t,ion of the sympaithics of the 1)eople of Europe. It is p)ossible that it might p)recipitate wvhat it p)retonids to oendeav' or to itvert--a con iagrat,ion of war inl Europe, throuigh tile lust of greed and conquest oil the patrt of the rival na tions. Mr. Gladstone wishes to know why England should pin herself to anly po0w or when she has her own character to maintain anId her own duty to main tain, at the presenlt as in (days of yore? Hie says that the little kingdom of Grecce represents the glory of Salamis anld Thermopyle as she stands like a "D)avid confronting six Gloliaths!" Tio coorce hecr for so splendid an exhibi tioni of courage, lie has nlot wvords sufl ciently strong to condemn. "Amonig the many slendl(d utter ancos by t,ongue atnd 1)0n of Mr. Glad stone's life 1none lhas ever burned wvIth a loftieor authority of statesman, scholar, and patr'iot. That it will appeal with tremendous forc~e of convictionl to En glish sentimenit is certain," for we al ready perceive signs of weoakening on tile part of some) of the powers to the "concert."
