Railroads VS.. Turnpikes.

The Lincoln County News, which, by
the-wsy, is now one of the neatest papers
in the State, having been recently enlarg-
ed and improved, thinks the Shelbyyille;
Petersburg, Boon's Hill and Elkton Rail-
road an improbable scheme, and suggests
that good turnpike roads to Fayetteville
would be far more preferable. We also
doubt the prscticabilty of the route pro-
posed, but there is an undoubted necessity
for some means of transportation for the
immense surplus raised along Elk river
and its tributaries from Elkton up towards
Fayetteville. Our idea would be to extend
the Fayetteville Branch road down through
the Elk river lands to some point on our
railroad which would be most eligible and
easy of access. The N. &. D. R. R. would
help to build it, and we doubt not Pulaski
would bid very high to make this the ter
minus. We are of opinion, however, that
the News is right in it's estimate of the
value of Turnpikes. A number of good
roads, running through fertile lands, and
concentrating at some central point, are al
ways SURE to make town and the country
''for miles and miles around" prosperous.

Suicide

On Sabbath morning last, 3Oth ult., our
community was startled by the announce
ment that CHARLEY BUDD. only son of
Mrs. HARRIET BUDD, of this place, lad
of eighteen or twenty years, h ad committed
suicide on the evening previous, and was
then slifened. lifeless corpse. On Sat-
urday evening he purchased two ounces of
arsenic from Sumpter & PearGy's Drug
store, alleging that it was for his mother.
who desired to kill rats with it. Subse-
quentlY he went home and announced that
he had swallowed an ounce of the poison,
but the story was not credited until it was
too late to save his lie. Deceased had for
several years been subject to fits or spasms,
which had gradually grown upon him in
frequency and violence, until his mind
had become seriously impaired, and was
in the habit of playing similar pranks &C.
casionally under a semi-deranged state of
mind. HE widowed and now childless
mother. thinking this another one of his
freaks, paid but little attention to his story
until, as above stated, it was too late to re-
lieve him. ne took the poison in the sf-
ternoon of Saturday and died about mid

The Great New York Fire in 1885.

We clip from the columns ofthe PHILADELPHIA IN
dega0riter interesting incident in the earlier
perience of the Ktna Insurance Company, OF Hart
ford, Conn, showing the value, ell as the re-
ward, which attaches to faithful iullment of OBJ
legations, at a time when nerve was requisite, and
individual sacrifice probable
After the great fire of 1885, the '1tna, of Hart
ford, the largest strongest, and most success
full Fire Insurance Company in America, received
notice of their losses, and the President called a
meeting of the Board of Directors, and in a few
words told them they had lost, probably, all their
capital. After few moments silence, in which the
President brought from the fire proof vault all the
stocks and bonds representing their capital, and
placed them before them, when one of the Board
asked him what he should do. "Do," said he, $50
to New York and pay the losses, if it takes every
dollar there" pointing to the package, ''and my
own fortune besides" The anxious looks gave way
tosettled determination, and the Board unanimous
ly said: ''Good! and will stand by you with all
our individual capital" The President went to N.
York, adjusted the losses, and in years time the
company, so bold to act and ready to fulfill all its
obligations had their capital more than returned
by premiums, and a better reputation than any
company in the United States.
1t is only necessary to add that DR.. E. EDMUND
SON represents this old company in Pulaski. St.

here with the view of determining which
of them is entitled to a seat in Congress
from this district It will be remembered
that Capt. sheafe received large majority
of the votes polled in the district, and was
in fact, elected by the people to the position
he claims. But Gov. Brownlow, for clleg

throw out enough votes in the various coun-
ties to give Tillman small majority. and
then declared him elected. Capt. Sheafe.
