Vigorous efforts are being nanade to push through the projected Black ville and Prosperity Railroad, in the interest of which Col. Alfred Aldrich, of Barnwell County, recently visited Charleston. The projected line will be run from Blackville, in Barnwell County, to Prosperity or Newberry as may be decided to be most feasible. The distance from Blabkville to either of the points named is sixty miles, and the distance from Blackville to Char leston by way of the South Carolina Railway is ninety miles. This route will shorten the distance from Char. le$ton to Newberry thirty-four miles. and, if built by Charleston capi tal combined with that of the citizens of the territory through which the road will run, will give a route identified with the inter ests of Charleston from end to end and controlled by her friends. If, however, after the p)eople along tihe line have expended their money in grading the road to Charleston should stand aloof and allow alien capital to come in and equip the road, the result will be that New York, Norfolk, Wilmington and other places will be furnished an avenue to drain addi tional territory that should contrib. ute to build up the chief city of the State. Augusta subscribed largely to build the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, which connects with the Columbia and Greenville Railroad at Greenwood. It has recently sub scribed $42,000 to the Augusta and Newberry Narrow Gauge Railroad, which will connect with the Colum. bia dnd Greenville Railroad at New berry. It has also subscribed to the Greenville, Western and Atlantic Narrow Gauge Railroad. These two narrow gauge roads are now in pro cess of construction. The Green ville, Western and Atlantic Railroad will connect with the Columbia and Greenville Railroad at Ninety-Six. These three roads, therefore, together with the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, will be opened di rectly in the interest of Augusta, and will take to that inland market the commerce that they fail to carry North and East from the rich upper counties of South Carolina by way of the Air Line Railroad and their con nections of the Rlichmond and Dan ville system. It will not require a master of the science of railroading or of the build ing up of the commerce of a city to see at once from this plain and un varnished story that it will not pay Charleston to remain inactive. Too much has already been lost by the indifference with which the develop ment of our railroad connections has been treated. The time for action has arrived. It will not pay to lose any more of the territory which should be tributary to the commerce of Char leston. It will not pay to allow Au gusta or any other outside market to levy tribute upon a section of coun try which should naturally look to Charleston as the ocean gateway to the world. The inroads that have already beeni madle upon our com merce can be checked, not by mass meetings and paper resolutions, but by monecy contributions. Col. Al drich, who is doing all within his power to build the lilackville Rail road in the Interest of Charleston, es' * timates that with the subscription of $100,000 by- the business men of Char leston the road can be built and that speedily. The route Is easy, the length ot the line is the shortest that can be built between Charleston and Newberry, the country to be traversed by the line is rich In its resources and there is every reason why Charleston caplj talists should take a lively interest in the construction of the line that promises so favorable results to the commerce of this port.-News and Courier Jul4j 28th. Comec Iuto Court. SuwrrEn JoUN-ry, 8. C., July 23, 1886. To Lawyers, IDoctors, Merchants-. Wayward IBrethren :We have a grievous charge to make against you. Our wrongs are many, and our woes innumerable; so stand at this bar and listen to our aflldlavit. Inastead of attending to your briefs, your pills, and your calico, you have, with malice, aforethought and felonious intent, held all the ofllces in county and State; and have been running this government to the great detr'i. "We" are material wvitnesses to the above allegation. Are ydu guiilt.) or not guilty ? Oh I you say thme farmers stood und~er you in a solid1 body and pushed you up into ollce; anid so you propose to make the f armners accessories to your great cr-imne. But we intend to prove the case against you before we get through. D)o you dare to look in our faces with all tihe innocence have injured us ? Just look at these battered hats and patched coats and breeches. you purple and fline linen dudes ! While you have been sitting down on your flowery beds of ease, as happy as frogs in a freshet, we have been bearing the heat and bur den of the day, trying to make our living by the sweat of our brow-or the sweat of the nigger's brow which amounts to the same thing. And the half has not been told yet. Why have you not legislated in the in terest of bigger. cotton crops, and better prices ? .Why have you al lowed our corn cribs and meat houses to remain so far from home ? Is it your love for the darned yan kee ? And then look at that part of )ur physical anatomy by which the factor holds us with our heads be. tween his legs; yes, we say look at the enormous interest he charges, his high commissions, besides his stcr ige, his sampleage and his stealage. W by is this thus ? Why have you mot remedied these great evils ? Why have you not given us our ueeded reforms ? The Lord knows wo need something and we'd take al nost anything we could get. And igain it has been said that when you o to the Legislature you do all the ,alking, and our farmer representa ,ives have to take back seats, and the )nly sound that is ever heard from ,hem is the popping of pinders, and ,he only time they ever open their nouths is when they throw one in md chaw. And they have even een compared to that servant which ,he husbandman sent into his field ,o hoe cotton, and, verily, because te was not watched, he did shirk his oork and do nothing generally. But ve propose to send another batch his time, and if they don't do better, ve'll instruct them to organize them elves Into a joint stock company mud "corner" the pinder market. And now we feel It our duty to -ise up in our might and do some ,hing to relieve us of this terrible )urden of oppression. The poor armers of the State must have their axes reduced and their expenses in 3very respect lightened, and in order o the accomplishment of this great md good object, we propose to begin y building an Agricultural and Me 3hanical College-cost what it may. And we here intend to educate only hose sons who promise to tread in he same furrow their fathers trod; mnd no son of a "professional" shall ever find an entrance there. Yes, we intend to build it if it takes thirty rears to finish it; and though the most of us may be buried under he sod and our farms buried under mortgages and the nails driven into ,heir collins by the sheriff's hammer, still we'll leave it as a monument to 3ur good intentions. And then our children will rise up and call us a blessed-pack of fools. Well the jury have agreed upon a verdict and they find you guilty, and not only guilty of holding all the aflces, and running the government but you have -been running it in the interest of the whole State, and not if us as a class, which greatly aggra vates your offense. We therefore mondemn and sentence you to be Lianged up entirely ouit of the reach >f ofilee on the fourth day of next Novemnber, and may not a farmer in ~he State have any mercy on you. Wayward firothers, go in peace. U'arewell, a sad farewell. You hauve bceen wianderers frocim the fold, We'll niow leave you out in thme cold. Ta oNiri. Cut Ilim D)ownm. T1hec people of the Third Cona zressioniahlDistrict, in common with hose of all South Carolina, love and1 lionor Judge Cothran, but they ought o defeat him in thme contest lie is mak ing for Congress. Hie is violating a vitally important p)rinciple and trying ho make a very dangerous precedlent. The property, liberty anid lives of Mhe people are secured only by the )urity of the bench and its freedom rrom thme influenices of politics. For hat reason the power of electinag ludlges is taken from the p)eople and vested in thme Legislature, terms are nade long uad liberal, salaries arc provided. 'The spirit of our customs 11nd laws is to the upllifting oif our indges beyond' the nieed of seeking )opular applause or thme faivor of in. lividuals. ,Judge Cothran's character and re :or-d give assurance that lie is, so far is mani can bie, beyond thme power of sellishn ess in the performance of' his >hficil dhuties. Bumt no man is b< fond tihe suspicion of disappoinmted >r dlefeatedl litigants anud it is easy to maugine how the ramge of persons mgainst whom he is requuired to decide :auses would seiz/e onm his ciuadidacy is a pretext fomr shaking the conli ience of their friends andl .>thers in hIe purity of his motives, lie offers m weapon to all who areo tempi1ted by assionm or- self interest to assail the id ministration of justice and throw lirt on the judicial rob)es. T1here may come after him mencm acking hi st.remng.h and hon,s. ..,o would yield to the temptation to use their office for their ends and win popularity at the expense of justice. Such men have been and will be judges. They ought to be kept from the possibility of temptation by be. ing kept out of political struggles. They can no ptoe kept so with the example of a inan like Judge Coth. ran to point to and the precedent of his success to urge them. It is generally understood that Judge Cothran can not'resign to en ter the contest for Congress without injury to the State and damage to litigants who have cases in his hands. In these circumstances we believe he made on unfortunate mistake when he became a candidate. We do not, question his motives. 'ile people have nothing to do with them. Facts are all we ought to consider The fact is that a judge on the bench is a candidate for Congress seeking the suffrages of the people among whom lie sits as judge. The people owe it to themselves, for their own safety aid to secure the sanctity of the bench in the present and its purity in the future, to forget the love and respect they justly hold for J. S. Cothran the man, and to declare by an overwhelming adverse majority their rebuke of the judge who active ly engages in politics and their pur. pose that no man shall be on the bench and a candidate before them for other honors.-Greenville News, July 27th. Smokey Town Dowsings. Prosperity 1'ress and Reporter. Editors Press ai Reporter: We cannot refrain from expressing feelings of surprise at the action of the farmers in and about O'Ncall. Our surprise is not that they propose to exercise the right of every free. man-vole .for just whoeeer hec pleaes. Newberry presents two candidates for Congress the equal at least of any in the field. Then why should not every Newberry voter take one or the other of those candidates. If lie thinks one does not have a(li tihe qualities or abilities he wants for a member to Congress, then take the other. All can certainly he suited at home. If there is any honor in this thing, we think every Newberry man should have enough county pride to work with might and main to secure that honor for his county. We always feel hound to huzza for our own county, and have our opin. ion for tho man who will not. Now, Mr. Editor, there is a good place here for some Newberry people to stick a pin, and a great big one too. It is this, it might happen "in the course of human events" that some of those men who are so willing to ignore good men at home, and look to other counties, may some day want help for themselves, or fer some of their friends, and will look to the friends of our Newberry candidates to come to their support. Then should .uch contingency ever hap. pen, it will be in order for t'e friends of Lipscomb and Johnstone to say "away I never knew you." Such would be the natural course, and no) one could utter one wordl of' conm plaint. That patriotism which is broad and knows no geographicail lines, is very pretty on paper', but we p)refer that kind that makes a man know and stand by his home f riendls, the man fionm his own neighborhood or his own county. Prmevioums to t,he war, the judiciary of South Carol ina: were the purest and bnest, men lihe sun ever shone upon, but what will now be said? Man is but hiumnan, few, yea it might be said none are so pure and implartial that they are not liable to be biased in f'avor' of the man who has the most influence on thme hiust, ings. Would Chevis, IIarp)er,on stone, Wardlaw, Wi itner or our own O'Neall have ever consented to have come before the peop)le wral)t ini his ju. dicial gown I It is enough to make every one who has the love of' his country at heart shudder,whecn lie coni templates the f'uture of' any counitr'y whose judicial officer's l)lace themi selves in a position to seek thme votes of the peop)le. We would hikew, if lie citizens about, O'Neall would ask themselves, if' John P>elt,on O)'Neal I would have (done so? IIf it, would have beenm wrong ini( O'Neall to have done so, shiouldh we encourage or' countenance any man of t his day, in (doing thme same tIhing.

The Augusta Chromicle of the 20th 1ublishes the tollowiug fliat contradic tion of the statnent reported to have beein made by Mr. 1t. 1R. Till. man in his recent address at Aiken. The statement of Col. Butler and the letter of Prof. Joynes leave no way out for Air. Tillman but to deny the correctness of thQ reports of his remarks at A iken. or Mr. Tillman having used a statement in a public speech which he <leclared was made to him by i'to'. ,Joynes, will have to meet the flat denial which P'rof. Joynes makes with emphasis and without any equivocation whatsoever. What has he to say about it? I lere is the letter: "CO L-W a mA, S. C., . 13' 9, 1886. ".eior Ausjtax (;hronice: In your account of ir. 11. R. 'Tilbtnan's address at Aiken, 1 uly 10, he is re ported to have said: '"The analysis r)f fertilizers f'or te last three years has cost an average of $30 on each brand. We have been tohi by I'ro. fessor Joyner of the South Ciarolhina College that the clemist of the Col. lege t>i Professor McJ ryde coffered to have it done for $. per brand; why it was not done he could not tell.' "The ofilcial analysis of' fertilizers in South Carolina are made .y the Department of Agriculture, and the remarks quoted will do this depart. ment great injustice unless corrected. ''In making this estimate of the sost of analysis M r. Tillman included the amount paid for the laboratory, which is a permanent investnent, and the expense of collecting I'ertilizer samples, which woulcl be incurre<l if the analytical work was done by the college. )educting these expenses, the cost has been about $19 for (ach, analysis, instead of $i0.

The uniinished business fron the lat meeting was then taken up. The reso lution of Geo. A. Mills, that trial jus tices, be recommnded for appolitment by priumary election should be adopted. Y. J. Pope moved to amnend by lisert lug that each township recoinmend its own trial justices. Geo. Johnstone wanted to know if it would be right for trial justlees, who represent the whole county to be ehosen by townships. lie opposed the election of trial justlees by the people. The best thing to do would be to cut ny the whole system, root and branch. Mr. John C. Goggais, of No. 8, said that he thought everyone in No. 8 would agree with him in saying that they did not want trial justlees at aill. Col. Geo. Johnstone mnoved to lay tho resolution on the table, which was ear ried by 89 to 10. The president stated that the next business in order was the election of eight delegates to the State convention. T. S. Keitt offered the following reso lut.ion, which he thought would give sat - Ifauction to the entire county: Ite solvet, That the members of this body from each township select a itelegate from their township and present, his 111am tothi convention as a elolegate to the 8tate I)omo orutie convention, to be hold in Cohunbla on the 4th day of August next. Time convention will then proceed to ballot for eight delcgates out of the eleven nunneS presented, ani the eight getting the largest number of htailots shall be eelarod the tielgates and the other three a,ho alternates. Mr. Jolmstone thought that it did not give the convention a fair chance, and that it was contrary to the rules, which state that. nominations must be made in convention. Mr. Keitt said that the convention so lected the delegates just the same, only that it was done by townships. Y.1. 1ope sai( lie appreeiatel the resolution,,tut was opposed to town.hip i[ues. )r. S.
