"V. :**• 4 THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THC1I8DAT, KOV. 25,18M HENRY T. THOMPSON, EDITOR: •TWO liOST CREEKS.” » Ou the 16th ultimo, Lieut. Fred erick Y. Abbott, of the United States Eugineers, addressed a let tar to certain Congressmen in the State in regard to Clark’s Creek and Mingo Creek, in South Carolina, which, by au act of Congress he was required to examine, ami the lo cation of whicb^after careful search, he declared himself unable to de termine. Congressman Aiken for warded this letter to the A’etr* and Courier for publication, togeth er with one of bis own in which be severely animadverted upon the an nual river and harbor bills, and said that “there was a ‘Mingo Creek’ or some other ‘nigger in the wood- pile 1 in every one of them, who would shovel money into some pri vate individual’s pocket.” This startling statement was followed by other humorous remarks on the same subject In the issue of the Vevot aud Courier in which these two communications were publish ed there appeared an editorial strongly censuring the present “sys tem of voting away public money for the Improvement of obscure wa ter courses and impracticable har bors in impossible places.” Again, In the following issue of the Ifeiet ana Courier it was announced edi torially that the two lost creeks bad been found, but that “what these streams amount to, and why they should be improved at the ex pense of the Government is not ex plained ” Then, some days later, the same journal, indulging in lan guage more or leas witty referred again to the subject and said: “Congress has appropriated 876,- 000 for their imp)ovenent } v and des ignated it as a “scheme the object of which would simply be to line the pockets of contractors without benefit to the public.” It turns out that these streams are in our Congressional District, in Williamsburg County. We hare not referred to this subject before because we have not been able to get all the light on it we wanted, and, even cow, not having obtain • ed enough, will be obliged to call on the Newt and Courier for more. These streams are in our District, our Congressman is probably re sponsible for their being mentioned in the river and harbor bill at all, then if the strictures of Congress man Aiken and the Newt and Cour ier are correct Mr. Dargan has been a party to a scheme to “shovel mon ey into some private individual’s pocket.” With the opinion we have of Con gressman Aiken and the Newt and Courier we feel sure that they would not have made such a charge, cal culated as it is to affect the reputa tion of oue of our Congressmen aud oastastaiu upon the fair name of the State, without indisputable facts upou which to base tbeir as sertions. With the mild attempts at wit on this subject we have noth ing to do; they may have been deemed amusing by some of the readers of the Newt and Courier and thus may have accomplished the purpose for which they were intended. But as a -matter of in formation we would like to know the authority for the assertious that in this instance “public money for the improvement of obscure water courses” had been voted away ; that “Congress has appropriated 875,• 000 for their improvement;” and that it is “a scheme to line the pockets of contractors.” We have looke l into this subject most care- fully and find as the result of our research: 1. That instea4,pf $75,000 having been appropriated for the improve ment of these streams not one dollar was appropriated; they were only mentioned in the biN in connection with an examination. 2. That the cost of this examina tion need not exceed twenty-five dollars, aud that, consequently, it is absolutely impossible for this to be a job which wonld “line some body’s pockets.” It we are right then the Newt and Courier and Congressman Aiken have committed a grievous injustice in making such pointed statements without foundation; if we are wrong (and we feel loath to believe that they had no authority in which to base such serious charges) we only ask that the Newt and Courier call oar attention to that authority, “the location of which, after careful search we have been nuable satisfactorily to determine.” In the acts of the 49tb Congress of the United States, page 320, we find sums ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 appropriated for the im provement of the following rivers in South Carolina : Ashley, Edisto, Great Poe Dee, Salkeibatcbie, San tee, Waccamaw, Wateree, Conga- ree, aud Wappoo Cot and Mosqui to Creek Not one word here about Clark’s Creek and Mingo Creek, and, as far aa wo have been able to ' ascertain, this is the only place in the bill where specific sums are ap propriated for the improvement of thestreamsof South Carolina, (and, yet, we can hardly believe it!) Perhaps, Congressman Aiken and The Newt and ' Courier are referring to the following which we find on page 330 of the same vol ume, “Sec. 6, The Secretary of War is hereby directed, at hit ditcretion, to cause examinations or surreys, or both, to be made, and tbe cost of improvements to be estimated, at the following localities: SOUTH CAROLINA. Mosquito Creek, Miugo Creek, Clark’s Creek, Little Pee Dee Riv er, Alligator River. These occur among the names of some 150 other creeks in tbe United States, and this is tbe only place in tbe whole act where Mingo Creek and Clark’s Creek are mentioned. Then follows, “Sec. 7. For exam inations, surreys and contingencies, and for incidental repairs, for which there is no special appropriation, tor rivers and harbors, one hundred thousand dollars: Provided, That no survey shall be made of any harbors or rivers until the Chief of Engineers shall have directed a preliminary examination of the same by the local engineer in charge of tbe district, or an engineer detailed for tbe purpose ; aud such local or detailed engineer shad report to said Chief of Engineer, whether, in his opinion, said harbor or river is worthy of improvement, and sbal state in snob report fully and par tioularly tbe facts and reasons on which he bases such an opinion, in eluding the present aud prospec live demands of commerce; audit shall be tbe duty of the Chief o: Engineers to direct tbe making o: such surveys if, in his opinion, the harbor or river proposed to be sur veyed be worthy of improvement by tbe Gt neral Government; and he shall report to tbe Secretary of War the facts, and what public necessi ty or convenience may be subserv ed thereby, together with the f'ul reports of the local engineers. Sait reports of preliminary examinations aud surreys shall be made to the House of Representatives, and are hereby ordered to be printed when so made.” So, then, these two creeks were to be examined or surveyed, but no survey was to be made until the lo cal engineer had examined the creeks and rejwrted to tbe Chief of Engineers whether in his judgment the streams were worthy of im- provement, in which event the Chief of Engineers might make survey and report to tbe Secretaiy of War whether tbe improvement of the streams would be a public benefit. Then these reports of pre liminary examinations and surreys with the estimated cost of improve ments are to be printed aud present ed to the Honse of Representatives Even then, no money is to be ex pended for tbe improvement of these streams unless Congress spe eially orders it. Where then is u chance for jobbery t The Neic and Courier doubtless has in its office a copy of tbe book from which we have quoted, and, of course looked into it to find the amount of the appropriations We only ask that they give us the number of the page in which they found the 875,000 appropriated for Mingo and Clark’s Creek. Consid ering the length of time Col. Aiken has served in Congress^ and his familiarity with the nsnal manner of framing these bills, it is a little extraordinary that be should talk about appropriations for the im of these streams. Why lient. Abbott in bis letter distinct ly said that they were to be exam ined ! Who told Col. Aiken that a vast sum of money had been appro priated for these improvements f Which of the three. Col. Aiken, Lieut Abbott or the Newn and Cou rier, was the “Henry M. Stanley, the great African explorer,” who ferritted out that appropriation of 875,000 T We cannot consider the finder ot this mare’s nest a success ful “explorer” of the Acts of Con gress but we do hope he will tell us how be found this oat. THAT RAILROAD SCHEDULE. We speak advisedly when we say that much ot the success of the State Fair, as tar as it was in tbe power of the Pee Dee section to contrib ute to that success, was duo to the 8|>eciai daily trains w hich were run between Clieraw and Columbia on Wednesday and Thursday of Fair week. To leave Darlington at a quarter of eight aud reach Colum bia shortly after eleven ; then, re turning, to leave Columbia at six in tbe evening and reach Darling ton before ten that night; could anything be more delightful f The pleasures experienced in such a trip coo'd only bcapprec ated to it* full est extent by those who have gone over this route by there^ularsehed ule. The Pee Dee section sent as large .i crowd to the Fair as any other portion of the State, and we feel sure that so large a number has never before gone from Dariiugton. The train of six passengt-r c ach es which went through on Wedties day morning w.^s crowded toils ut most capacity. A numltrr • f per sons, particularly some of the many ladies who weie on the train, re marked that they w«uM never have entertained for a moment auy idea of going to the Fair if ttoy had had to go on the regular schedule time There is no doubt about it that these s[>e«iat trains paid the author- ilies handsomely, and we believe that a regular train running in this way would pay all the year round. Why not give it a trial, anyhow f In a previous issue we endeavor ed to show that a treighr train could carry passengers from Florence to Sumter in tbe morning in time to catch the fast train. If that plan w’ould not work, how would the ft>) lowing answer f Tbe mail train on the C, & D. road could leave Che. raw early enough in tbe tnoruinc to run through Florence to Sumter aud couuect there with the fast train from Charleston to Columbia; aud rtnmiuing thereuntil that train came back from Colombia in tbe afternoon, could return to Cheraw by 10 o’clock at night. Then, in order to keep up the Charleston connections, the freight train on the C. &. D road, by adopting a somewhat faster schedule, could leave Cheraw in tbe morning and reach Florence in time to connect with the train going to « harleston at mid day ; then, when the train from Charleston arrived at »Flor ence the freight on the C. k D road could start back for Cheraw. It may be urged that this would inter fere with ou 1 present mail arrange ments from Charleston, but ?u< h would not necessarily be tbe case. The people of Darlington, t hrongb the enterprise of their Congress man, now enjoy the luxury of an early morning mail by the IreiJit train from Florence, and we hav** no doubt that tbe same arrange ment could be made fi>i the u hole of the Cheraw k Darlington road, by which plan those living all along tbe line could obtain a double mail every day. We are pleased to note, as will be seen from extracts in our last issue, that every comity iu the Pee Dee section hasemiorsed the scheme of a day train to the Capital, and, from every quarter the newspapers have endeavored to show the gieat inconvenience from which we are now suffering. In a recent issue of tb; Sunday News, Capt. Dawson, among other things which he mentions iu his very interesting “Talks by the Way.” gives some of tbe railroad schedules in South Carolina in 1S(»6, and by comparison with the sched ules now in operation, shows the immense improvement which has taken place in this respect within the last 20 years. The following are tbe schedules which be pub lishes : Charleston to Columbia 18C6 Leave Charleston 8. a to. Arms Columbia 6.20 p. m. Charleston to Florsnct 1866 Leave Charle*toa 10 p.m. Arrive Florence 4 a. to. BHRMI ia?5 THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. We aend out this week, lo a sup pliment to the Darington News, tbe message of HU Excellency, Governor Sheppard, which was read to the General Assembly on Wednesday. In thia able document we have a thoughtful disquisition on all of tbe important State issues of tbe day, and tboae of oar readers who wUb to gain information on the aubjeota of which It treats, would do well to devote some time to its careful perusal. ' — to make public. “Madam Rumor” has continued to give information, aud the “cut aud dried” theory was fully developed aud carried out Instead of saying “all things are ready come,” you had said “all things aie ready” we are comiug. He would need uo Convention. Mr. Parrott looms up as a leader when the only enemy in sight is the “presun ptuous and intolerant spirit in the Democratic told.” A man of straw has been put up and knocked down, and Mr. Parrott is not happy. He must tell us how he did it aud why he did it. Why have you kept yourselt so long in the back ground f How we ueeded vou iu ’70, ’78 aud ’80 to tell us how to do it. I had nothing to do with the Con vention aud would’nt be responsible tor the dissatisfactk u aud unrest it has caused tne Democracy of the couuty for the highest office iu the gift of tbe people. Darlington may yet need ever} man iu line and the touch ot the elbow. Mr. Parrott has certainly given ease to his pent up indignation. He has cut right and left aud for slang, one would judge that our brother bad’nl only seen the “printers devil,” but been iu direct communi cation with the Devil himself. When I see a parson launching oat into politics, it reminds me of an incident that happened during the war. A soldier w bile trudging along met a preacher and rccog nized him as such. The preacher asked the soldier “what command do you belong to T” The soldier replied, “I belong to the 10th— Regiment, Van Dorn’s arm}. What army do you belong to !” The preacher (very solemnly) “I lielong to the army of the Lord !” The soldier said, “my friend you’ve got* a long way irom head quarters !” My brother take a little advice, get nearer head quarters. Iu your eagerness to correct the evils that afflict the dear people, you may wander off and get left. Mr. Editor, I am sorry to trespass on your space, but some ot these cuts were intended for E. W. Cannon. “Tbe birdlike voice whose joyou* lone. Made glad this eceae of sin aud strife, Sings now in everlasting song. Amid tiie trees of life. “And where he eees a smile too bright. Or heart too pure for taint and vice. He hears it to that world of light, To dwell in Paradise. “Born into that undying life, They leave us but to come again, With joy we welcome them—tbe same, Except in sin ttnd pain. “And even nesr us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread, For all tbe boundless universe, Is life—there are no dead. *' W D.

Call and be convinced. J. FRANK EARLY. Nov 25. ’86—tf tbe 3m of fit Mrs. Minnie Laurence Brown. Our whole community, and espe cially her friends, were painfully surpn-ed and' shocked on Friday morning at the reception of a tele gram announcing the death of this estimable and accomplished lady, which sad event occurred iu At lanta, on Thursday afternoon last, where she had been for severa months in order that she might be treated for au affection ot the throat which had troubled her for some lime. Mrs. Brown was a native ot Ala., but while on a visit to Dar lingtou met the gentleman whom she afterwards married, anti for the last four or five years bail been a resident ot our Town, aud it is safe to say, that iu that time, by her candor, courtesy aud uniform kind ness. she had won her way into the hearts of our people loan extent that rarely falls to the lot ot a stranger. She had her tauits, as who of us has not. but if the words were at times somewhat cold, tbe heart was always full of tenderness and love, aud the baud ever ready to be stretched forth in acts of kindness aud charity. It is not too much to say that she was tbe most accomplished musician of our Town, and in the social circle, which she always adorned. Id all matters pertaining to music she was the instructor, and her knowl edge was so accurate that she was never at fault With her, music was a passion, aud she had studied it with all the enthusiasm aud en ergy ot her nature. She had vlice of rare sweetness aud purity, aud no oue w ho attended the last Easter services at the Methodist Church, and beaid the notes that came Irom both lips and heart, as clear and sweet as a chime of silver hells, need be reminded of its com pass and its power* But the tongue and lips ot tbe singer are Lusher to earth ; uo more shall bei sweet voice delight the ear aud touch the heart of earthly frieud, but freed of its earthly tenement, relieved of ai paiu and care, the soul, upborne by angel wings has ascended on high, aud the aweet voice, attuner to the melody ot Heaven, is now beard amidst the Bowers of Para dise. No death could have been sad der; dying far from home aud friends aud baviup to depend on strangers for the last acts of kindness and love; but God is ever kind and merciful, aud we can only be still aud say, “Tby will l»e done.” All will join iu the piayer that peace and comfort may be given those who have been so sorely bereaved by this visitation, but especially that God may help him who has now to returu to a desolate and darkened home. One ot her last acts was oue of kindness and un selfishness, and she has left uo legacy of bitter words or unkind acta behind. She was a member of the Methodist Church, aud death did not find her unprepared. She rests beneath tbe soil ot her loved native State. In its genial clime and nnder the sonny Southern skies the flow era planted by loving hands, will grow aud blossom above her grave. To her it was not death, bat only the ushering in ot life. “There it no death ! The stars fo down, To rise npon some fairer shore, And bright in heavrn’s jeweled crown, They shins forever more. “There is no death! An angel form, Walks o’er the earth with silent tread, He bears our best loved thing* away, And then we call them ‘dead,’ “He leaves our hearts all deaolats, He pluohs our fairest sweetest flowers, Transplanted into bliss, they new Adorn f STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
