AVe would say that the>c cravings, toa greater

church, in our opinion,should recognize these
r}j? tacts, and seek to warn the people against encaging
in immodest dances, or attending the
performances of a corrupt stage. This can he
done by encouraging the modest dance and
tiie ino'.il stage, wliilo the church members
should at all times enforce Christian truths
by precept and example. Ve believe that
Christianity was never intended to make life
less joyous or less happy. It is not the mist-Ion
of the church to deprive us of the reasonable
and innocent pleasures of life. For
these reasons the church should seek to make
the dance and the theatre of such a character
as to he sinless in the sight of our Maker. Our
Matu-r :di?:io can change our natures, but we
can and should reform the dance and the tliev
iitresoasto make them not inconsistent with
Christianity. A corrupt, stage and a vulgar
* ilaiicc should lie tabooed by all virtuous peojtle,
no matter whether they are professing
Christians or not.

Our friend tlie Xeubcrry Herald ami .Vws
makes a reply t<? our article in reference to
Col. Coward's address and the public school?.
Our position in reference to the free public
K schools seems to be misunderstood. For this
misunderstanding wo attach no blame to
anybo.ly, as it i* possible that we did not express
our idea cleatly. The Press and Jinnncr
is as heartily in favor of educating the poor
i't public expense as the Herald and Xeies can
be, but the Press a/id Jlumu r opposes the system
of education which makes the children
of prosperous and well-to-do parents a burden
upon the State. Such a course Is wrong In
principle and demoralizing in practice.
The Jfcruld ami JYews says:
"Our contemporary forgot to s'atr lliit the few private
rchools which it names :uiil which afl'irded the
jru'itri* "f instruction to the son? of the rich few, have
place to 1C7 public school* in AblevilJe county,
which brine tho ndvantr>j;e? of an elementary education
tvithln the reach of every nun's children.''
p* The flue schools of which we spoke and to
P, which the HcruUl wi'l .Ycttvt refers, furnished
1 education to the poor at tho expense of the
|\ . Ktato, but "the sons of the rich few" were
[\ . made to pay for what they received. The
I idea of taxing the poorest citizen of Uic connB
' > ty to educate tho ' sons of tlie rich few" is
what we object to. Tiio attention of the
I Jlrruhl ami AVw* is invited to s )tno sentences
which appeared in the urticlv to which It re1^*
plied:
pTV. "Th it most estimable christian pentlcnnn, wh? is at

i.ll Hit children o| the State to tie taught nt public exJ.oiine.

why the sohool trustees do not open Sulflelcnt sefi"ols
I to iiccornni'?lute all uf the chiiilien, and cepcei.il ly the
( poor children."
S It really seems to us that tho above senI
tenccs arc plain enough to show that the
ft J'rets and J'unncr is not opposed to the ciluca.
H tion of the poor.
fig The HcrctUl and .Vc?i?s concludes thus:
' Our frtcmt anil neighbor Is wnsiinc its strength Ir
kicking against the common school system, lor it h
here to stay. an>l the part of wisdom wouhl l-c to lend

t\ utilises which undoubtedly exist, but which run and
will l>eelluiiniited leaving the free scln ols the^lory ol
uur commonwealth and tho saleguaid of our dvtuu'
ciatic institutions."
AVe may be "wasting o:ir strength" but vre
think that we are doing exactly what our
friend recommend*,by "lendingour intlucnec
"to correct and amend those defects aud
"abuses which undoubtedly exist."
After all, there seems to be no grout differcnce
of opinion between the Herald and Sews
and the I'ress and Manner.

I riage vows mean nothing more nor less than
i the continuation of the relation during the
! pleasure of either party, the holy regard for

ion, is a loss evil than divorce, nml yet our
j Congressman, from divorce-s:ranting Stales, I
j iioUl up their hands in ho!y horror at Morj

Is not such a coarse blatant hypocrisy? l'orj
our own pirt, we would infinitely prefer to j
| see polygamy established in South Carolina,
< than t:> wstne.-s the enact men I of a law gruntlug
divorce to any man in this Commonwealth.
According to our forms of marriage,
divorce means legalized perjury--to say nothing
of the consequent evils of breaking the
marriage relation.
A distinguished citizen who has s'-cn much
of th? world, and who knows of the customs
, of the people, has said that on no spot of
ground on the face of tin; glo! e is woman so
well protected as in South Carolina. In m
I country is the marriage so easily eflectod. and j
j in no place in tlio world is the marriage vow]
| held with equal sacredncss. All legalized
I forms which must be comtdicd with in other
States and other countries, to make marriage
vows binding. is against the woman and in
ihc interests of the man who seeks to take
advantage of lier. In Smith Corolina any acknowledgement
of tlie marriage relation is
sufficient, but in the States which prescribe
J certain legal forms to be gone through with
.I previous to manias', women aro often imposed
upon by evil intcntioned men, and
sometimes by good meaning men. For instance,
not long ago a man procured a marriage
license in a fictitious name. The marriage
ccremony was performed. ISoth man
and woman thought they were married, until
informed to ttio contrary.
Railroads in themselves, as factors in religion,
are neutral, but Incidentally, they exercise
a great influence in advancing reilslon.
morality, and education. Their presence
! brings the whole country In close cominunljcation,
and that communication has a
I tendency to e']U".lize commerce, religion'
i morals and iutelligcuco. Schools and
|chinches are built along their lines at conI
venient intervals, and excellent postal faeiiiI
ties are furnished. The intelligence of the
j whole people us thereby put nearer on a level,
j The higher are toned up, and the lower are
j raised tot'ie higherstandard. For tills reason
| a single good railroad in India, or other nonI
christian countries would do moro for chris*
tlanlty than the personal ctlects of many
IH1SMU.1H1 IC.*.
Our Knilrontl I'rospects.
It Is really gratifying to every well wisher
of the town of Abbeville to witness the unanimity
of our people on the subject of building
the proposed railroad from Enriglit's to
Abbeville, which road is to have quite an extension,
both East and West, and which'
when completed will be of the greatest value
fo all the country through which it may run.
The subject of gauco is much discussed. A
majoiity seem to be in favor of a narrow
Igauge. but wo arc quite sure that there will
be 110 disagreement on that question. If we
we arc able to get a standard gauge it would
be desirable to do so, but a road wo must ,
have, and wo all know Hint a narrow gauge
road can do all the work that wo need.
From estimates which have been furnished
as to the cost ot narrow gauge roads we teel
' perfectly certain that cur peoplo are able to
build and own the road. The distance to Enright's
is only about from fourteen to sixteen
miles, and runs through a country which
needs the road, and certainly runs to a town
that needs its presence and its revivifying injlluence.
So impressed aro our people with
uic vtui.li; ui mi; iu?m <iiiu win ncvu iui ii, iiuu ,
we believe the townships from one end of the 1
road to the oilier will vote a tax. In the
| town of Abbeville, we have not heard of a.single
indvlduai who is not in favor of the road, i
The road being with'.n orrircneh, it only re- J
mains to be seen whether wo will make the
etrort. Without tiic road the business of the
town eaniu't Increase. Without it Abbeville
wi'i be a llnishrd town.
There being no room for division among us,
] let us for once aet together, in harmony and
! good feeling, and then let us all sinli or swim
in the same boat.

As far as wo have heard, every fclnglo Indi- 1

Active preparations are being made to go to
work, and we have no doubt that the stockholders
will find their investment a proiitable

amount, though we believe it is not Intended

We admit tho force of what our metropo!1
Itan neighbor says. Theoretically his ideas
arc all right. But in practice our courts, it
seems to us, have settled on a fine of ??>.00 for
carrying concealed weapons, and we do not
now recollect an instance where a gentlemen
has been tlned more than this amount for
carrying n pistol, while we believe there are
instances where others have been sent to the
penitentiary forsix months for the same of*
i; fence. If ono man gets oil'with a tine and
another has to go to prison, the punishment
rj is unequal. It was with tho idea that puni,
Ishtnentshould be the same to all. and not exI

Proxpcctx.
At a public mooting held in the Conrt House In the
interest ?f the Klberton and Abbeville railroad, the
following delegates fur Abbeville wcro appointed to
meet a similar delegation from Klberton lit En rig In'?
to consult as to tho feasibility of the above limited
toad: J. T. Parks, I* W. Periln, T. ('. Seal, P. llosenberg.
It. It. Hemphill and Geo. C. Hodges. The delecation
from Abbeville arrived at Kurigbl's at bitlf-pnst

D. A Matthews and A. S. Oliver fiom Klberton, and
Dr. W. M. Tacsrartand Cajit. Samuel Hester and Col.
Ue -rgo Smith of .Magnolia to u nship, awaiting our arrival.
It didn't take lis man} minute* to tl:>dout the
fact that we were in the presence of two level-beaded
Georgime, who la the common itfirlatieeof the day,
meant business, to which we pioceokd after an exchange
of the usual courtesies.
It is not my purpose to rehearse all tho phases of
tho Important and interesting investigation with
which tne delegation felt themselves chaiged. Nor do
I intend to be drawn till' from my sub)ect In lavish descriptions
of tho splendid dinner spiead by our host
Coi. George Suillh, though tho subjec. is ever so fascinating.
At the request of the other delegates from Abbeville
I submit to those interested in the matter the feasibility
of a railroad outlet Kast and West from Abbeville
l". II. I shall not speak of the absolute necessity to
Abbeville of competing lines. 1 think it is universally
luiict ded that before we can regain our lost prestige
in commercial and mateiial prosperity, we must have
another railroad. The only question with which we
ire now concerned arc, (!) the direction &uu (2) the
e-uiu'".
Several routes, with enthusiastic and nblo elinm[li'iiis,
have bevn submitted to the people for Consideration.
The route now undurcnusiderutlon we think
Is desirable, practicable. and cm to uiade profitable
even to stockholders. That this new route be
clearly understood let us consult Maury s Manual of
(r.'ograpby, puce 45.
A straight lino drawn from Abbeville to Elbcrton
utid projected Westward will pass through Athens and
Atlanta '1'hedistance from Abbeville 10 Klherton is
iibout 32 inili-s, fr?>m Klberton to Alliens 85 miles.and
froui Athens to Atlanta about W miles. The distance
fruiii Abbeville to AI hens then is about 127 tidies. If
the road be extended to Athens we would then have a
Westward connection by both the Georgia Central and
Uiclunond ami Danville systems. If we choose to project
the road In an air line to Atlanta we will meet
with abundant eucouiagemeiit froin ibe people along
the line Irwin Athens to At'antn. Monroe, particularly,
would enter as a material factor in the problem,
so also would Lfiwrencevllie. Such a Western connection
with the pent bwtithern ral'road centre would
afford us all the benefits which Ibiw from through
freights ai.il competitive lines, and give us that relief
without which the material interest of our towu is
doomed to tha "dry-rot."
'J'lie delegation, after considering the possibilities
mid probaMUlii-s !n the case, deeiiled 1 believe unanimously,
that an Eastward extension of about 75 miles
to Chester, S. C.. would l e desirable, feasible niiiJ pro!*
itibb'. In the li cation ot pidnts along the line Cokesbury
ar.d Orcenwood would bee >me strong competitors
for so valuable a prize. Cross !li!l and Splint:
Drove would loom up as possibilities against their
rival. Waterloo, in Laurens county. Clinton would bo
lured with so tempting a bait, that she might reclaim
H iine of the trade which is so rapidly deserting her.
From Clinton to Cheater the road would p.iss through
a splendid portion of upper South CinoHnn, and develop
? fertile country almost wholly without railroad facdlties.
From Chester the road can be continued to
Monroe, N. C., or to some point on the Charlotte and
Wilmington railroad, which will furnish the needed
outlet to deep water or to tho great commercial maris
of the North. A road running from Atlanta through
Athens, E.burton. Abbeville. Clinton and Chester
would be almost a bee line of about 200 miles, and
would traverse the garden spot < ( South Carolina anil

gauge which wi'l be pern-rally adopted not many ytais

The Opening Day of the Nouth Carolina
College.
Columbia Register.
The attendance of students at the opening of the
College yesterday was exceedingly gratifying to tin
faculty and friends of the College, as it effectually
dispels the fears entertained in some quarters, and, wc
arc sorry to say it, the hopes in a few other quarters,
that there would be a fulling off la the patronage at
this session.
At. tho close of tho exercises yestcrdny over 100 ol
the <>!<! atnclentrt were on the ground, ami about W applicants
for matriculation had presented themselves
and been referred to the several Professors for examination.
The*' examinations will continue dining tin
week, so that it is impossible to say yet what the exnet
number of matriculates will be, but enough it
known to shoiv that there wlli be an increase over the
last term.
One curl"tis fact his been developed in this connection.
which is, that from the Counties of Spartanburg
and Darlington?where the strongest opposition to tlu
College lias been developed, on paper?the largest delegation
of students have come, there being Is or IS
from the former and 10 or 12 from the latter County,
Union also sends 10 students. This would go to show
that the College has hail porno effective advertising at
the hands ol its opponent* in those Counties. Several
students come from Vanderbilt, from the University
of Virginia and from oilier College*, and Bevc-ral
who were obliged by circumstances to forego their attendance
last year Cave resumed their studies at this
These are all assuring facts which indicate that th*
hubbub raised on the subject of tulliuii and exclusive
education ?lo not tiiol a response in ilie mliuls and
hearts of the people of tli<* plate, who are det-rinined
to give proof of their cniilldenco in the College by
sending their son* in increased numbers to bo educated

A XarriMV (iiui^o Komi that I'hjn
'I'wciily per eeul on IN Slock.
A narrow gau^e rni'rond has recenlly been built
i from Augusta, (in., smith for a distance of between 7tl
j and Sti miles, by the exertions of Mr. .Mitchell, of An-j
1 gusta. who was a ni wspaper reporter. He induced j
i people along the line to give ami Vote subscriptions,
; gnuliiully II mted I he bonds, and little by little built
| his line. It is built ni:d equipped in the best manner
I and has cost about ?4.500 a mile altogether. It is
| operated at an expense i f less than $15.0JU a year
mid pays VII per cent on its stock which can not be
i bought at par. Man* narrow gauge railroads have re|
celllIv been built ami profitably operated ill Florldii,
and Mr. Mitchell is gradually extending his Hue to'
waul that state, with tin: apparent purpose of reach|
lug and connecting with them. The success of these
reads inspired the Idea of buil ;i:ig

to llie coast and many towns in Florida. Money

lias already I'cell subscribed and the Settlement of a
local dispute by survey is now ail that is being wulteO
for.
The Charter nml Examliintlou of I'rofiles.
Captain Kirk then bit nn the Idea of tis!nir (lie old
Port Ko\ al urn! Greenville charter for a i.arrow gauge
road to tap the Augusta and Newberry load at Kinit
Hill, a point in Kdgefleld county twelve miles this
side of Kds.liel.i coiiit house. That charter covers
what has been recognized lor ninny years as the na-1
Itiral highway from upper Carolina to Auv'ui'tii, tnuch
of it being n To 111; a natural level ridge between the
Uecdy and Saluda rivers on which there lire no water
courses or other natural obstructions. After studying
the Mitchell narrow gauge thoroughly, going over the
plans, pioflles, estimates and ac.-ounts, ho began the
work of pushing his idia, uud the Dueling of Friday
was the result.
Col. r. C. Law, of Abbeville, presided at the meeting
of corporators on Kridav. He was compelled to
leavo that night, and Iho deliberations of yesterday
were pivsldi d over by T. C. Markley, of this city, who
went as the proxy ol M. F. Anret, one of the original
corporators, and was one of the must valuable tiielll
bersofthe liuard. Cnptnln James Itogcr*. jr., of
Ninety-Six, held a proxy lor Col. Law yesterday.
The corporators lound that they had private sub'
bcriptions equal to considerably more that half the
amount estimated to bed quired for the grading of
the pro|Kised roud, a liberal charter already obtained
and

it y< nr mid two enterprises tlmt together Kpviitl
, $bO,UOO or more a year fur freight taking stock, the
, idea of direct profit seems tenable.
The board tor these reasons treated the road as n
i reality?a living business enterprise to bo considered
with gravity and eaie. Every st-p was made deliberately
and uficr taking all the counsel possible. The
result uiay be fluted in short space.
The Line wax Locatcd,

route" to Ninety-Six ; thence to wiihin half a mile of

the line ot the Augusta dl.t road, through Dunklin
Hud Oak Lawn towhshtps, Greenville county;
thence to l'eizer (not crossing the l iver then) ; thence
to i'iedtilolil; thence to Greenville.
A call was prepared, ami ordered to be published, a*
directed by llio charter, calling
A Meeting of Stockholders at Xinctyfilx
on November 131li
for the election of a president and nine directors.
The charter was carefully revUcd in an informal
meeting lasting three hours, on yesterday, and suggestions
of important aiiicndliithls were adopted.
The chief ol these.were the changing of Iho name
from "Greenville and I'ort l{oj?r to ' Atlantic and
Northwesternthe rcjieal of tile sections expending
the liability of stockholders lor general debts of the
road to live per cent, more than the amount of their

under the direction of county commissioner mid after
obtaining petitions for It signed by a lived piopor ion

location of the road through any township conditional

The sr.dden and tragic death of Mr. H. Leo Connor,
which occurred on Saturday the 2(i of September, was C
iv sail shock to hU numerous friends iu our couitiiuni- c(
ty. Internally injured In llie accident on the Texas
& St. Louis railroad near Garland City, on the 2 kh jj
of September, his infutles at first seemed unlinpor- <
taut, and the news of his death, which reached Clarendon
at 8:30 thu next day, was as unexpected as it
was distressing. Lee Connor had no acquaintance Jj'
who was not his friend ; liisailable nnd chcerful illsposition,
attractions of mind nnd person, and prepossessing
social qualities made him an Immediate favor- 01
Ite In every circle tb-it had the good fortune to mini- T
her him among them,.md his vigorous youth, full of It
life and hope, makes it seem doubly hard that dealli
should have claimed him so prematurely, Having just
attained the ace of 21, he had before him all the t
flattering prospect that opens before youth, health
and high intelligence coiiaijineti wild u must attractive
personality. and Iti look!iic forward to his future It wss
(tiled with blight hopes and high nttnttimctits?Ikijii-m
Ctrlain of fulrtlrnerit had they not been m> untimely L
blasted. To his bereaved foully and friends are ex- {
tended uur Borrwin^ h\ ui|ia lile3.. May be have eternal '
peace I ,v.
-His memory long will live nlono '
Is all uur hearts, as mournful light
That brood* above the fallen sun.
