ReBaing the Very Lunatics!

People have not heard much of the ia
nous Joe Crews, of Laurens, lately, but
still Joseph is not forgotten. And now
he comes forward and plays another of
his characteristic tricks. That's, he COM
mits huge and vile theft. Joe, we be-
lieve, does not live in Laurens now. He
lives-well, we don't know exactly where
ne lives. But it IS in Columbia princi-
pally that he steals. He is member Of
the Legislature, director of the Green
vile & Columbia Railroad, regent Of
the State Lunatic Asylum, and much
admired Radical leader. In his capacity
Of regent of the Asylum he has stolen
lately from the said institution Is tons of
coal. Think of it! Stealing 75 tons OF
coal from the wretched lunatics! Every
other man connected with the institution
has promptly and satisfactorily cleansed
his skirts, leaving Mr.. Crews standing
alone in the mud. Nor does this miser-
able fellow even deny the deed. AS on
a former occasion, he says nothing. What
upon earth is to be 'done with Joe? Oh,
Joe, Joe, take care, lest yod come to the
pass of stealing sick nigger's SOUP"

Railroad Charters.

Petitions have been presented in the
Legislature for charters for Railroad
from Spartanburg, via Laurens, Ninety
Six and Edgeheld o. f., to Aiken, S. c.,
or Augusta, Ga, and for Railroad from
Greenwood, via Dorn's Mines, to Au-
gusta, Ga. And surely the Legislature
will not fail to grant charter to each
road-for the building of these Roads is
of the greatest importance to the sections
through which they will run, and that
their construction will tend greatly to-
wards building up the country none will
deny.
We understand certain faction in the
Legislature objects to chartering road
from spartanburg to Augusta, but are
willing to grant a charter for the erection
of road from Spartanburg to Aiken. We
regret. this objection, and fear thatmaking
Aiken the terminus will serve IL dampen
the ardor Of our up-country friends WHO
are very anxious to run direct to Angus
ia. But if certain of our law makers are
so very jealous Of the interest of Charles
ton and the South Carolina Railroad, and
guarding that interest, refuse to give us
the charter to Augusta, why then let US
have the charter to Aiken, with the
privilege of branch road (from the vi
cinity of Pine House Depot to Augusta
This would be fair, and we doubt not
would give satisfaction to all concerned.
A road from Spartanburg via Edgefeld
c. H. to Aiken would be quite accepta-
BILE to our people, as it would afford us
railroad facilities for direct travel or
transportation to Charleston, Columbia
or rAugusta-becaus )ur road would in
tersect the Columbia d Augusta Road at
or near Pine House Depot, and would
doubtless make connection with the
trains on that line. And our road having !
theprivilege of buildinaa branch road to
Augusta, would restrain the G. c. e. A.
Road (even were they disposed) from
exact;ng a high tariff from us.
We therefore trust our Legislators will
speedily charter the Roads as originally
proposed, OF as above indicated, and il
so, the incorporators will take prompt
measures towards. etlecting an organiza-
ton, and setting the ball in motion, with
a we'll founded hope of an early compile
ton of both the Spartanburg & Aiken,
and Greenwood & Augusta Roads.
We also see that application has been
made in the Legislature for charter for
a road from Raleigh, \. c., to Augusta.
Ga This is an enterprise that should
receive favorable consideration from
the people of our State. If the charter
is given as petitioned for, we are assured
that the Road will be built, and if built
will traverse from one side of our Coun
ty, to the other, as well as through York.
Chester and Newberry Counties. Con-
sequently the respective members to the
Legislature from these Counties should
give this project their earnest attention
and warmest encouragement. This is
an age of Railroads, and if we expect to
keep up with the age, ace must build Rail

A fire occurred in our town this A. NJ,

saws Information reached ne, yesterday
morning, of most destructive fire, which
occurred in, the town of Abbevllle, on
Thursday night The Marshal House, a
fine large brick building: the Court House
and the entire block of buildings between
those two, on the left side of the main
square, were entirely consumed. Trow-
bridge & Co., whose store was in the
Marshal House, it is said saved the great
er part of their stock as did also John
Knox, Traegar & Bequest, and Kapham
& Sklarz, L. H. Russell, ]. Knox, Christian
& Wilson and Lee Russell; but the
buildings occupied by the above named
parties, together with all the smaller build
ings on the two blocks, occupied by freed
men, were destroyed.
The books and records. in the Cour

The First Party in the Field.


The first party in the field with It's
Presidential ticket officially will be the
national Prohibition or Temperance par
tv. for their national nominating conven-
ton meets at Columbus, Ohio, on the
22nd of February. And about the same
time too the national Labor Reformers
meet in the same place, and they may
also put up Presidential ticket. The
woman's rights women will. wait to see
what course the anti-Grant Republican
party takes before they move on the sub
iect. Consequently, by August next, we
shall probably have four or five Presl-
dental tickets and parties before the
people. A Temperance candidate, and a
Labor Reform candidate, and a Woman's-
Rights candidate, and Possum Policy
candidate, and an old line, true-blue
Democratic candidate, and a Moderate
Republican candidate, and an Extreme
Radical or Robbery, Plunder and Tyran-
nv candidate. And the man of the last
named party will be Grant; and we have
a deadly fear that he will be the winner
and that we will all continue to go to
the d-l. But dum Spiro spero!
