The County Advertising.

Many Of our readers complain because the
public sales no longer appear in the HERALD,
and, that no: being able to take both papers
os the town, they feel that taey arc deprived
of a privilege. The complaint is no: without
reason, but it is not our fault. 1t may not
generally be known that thcGeneral Assem-
bly, gave power to committee composed Of
three State officers, 10 designate ONE or MORE
papers in each county as the medium for the
publication Of all such notices. The HERALD
was deprived of this privilege. We do not
complain Of this, but at the same time con-
slider it as unjust in the extreme. We have
determined now however, to publish such
notices, without authority. and Of course
without remuneration, but simply as an act
of justice to our readers, that they may be
kept informed as to what is being done in
this respect This is not done without
pecuniary loss, as we'll as loss Of time. but
we are willing to make the sacrifice for the
public good, and we trust that our course
will be appreciated, and that this effort to
please will induce i corresponding effort on
the part of our patrons to increase our sub
scription list, by inducing others to take the
HERALD; and at the Same time we earnestly
call upon those who are indebted to settle
the small amounts due. tt.

When will the barbarous custom of
duelliag cease? When will men learn
that it is the highest evidence Of cow
ardicc either to accept or to offer 4
challenge to mortal combat? These
questions are suggested by the intelli-
gence conveyed by telegraph that R.
B. Rhett, formerly Of this State, had
shot and killed Judge Cooley, of New
Orleans. in an affray Of this kind. 1t
matters not what might have been the
cause Of the difficulty, We unhesita-
tingly pronounce this mode of settling
it as 6arbarous in the extreme. Such
occurrences are outrages upon civillza-
tion, and the guilty ones should be Sc
verely punished.

What is. the matter with Henry
Ward Beecher? Whittier is he drift
ing? For months past grave rumors
have been circulated which involve
seriously his moral character. And
though: as they now stand. the charges
are perhaps insufficient to produce
conviction, yet they are sufficiently
damaging to require All explanation.
This, for reasons unknown to US. has
not been given. Aud now We are
told that the dennis god of Plymouth
pulpit, has been preaching Universal
ism. At this We are not surprised:
however. We confess to very little
admiration or ycueratiou for the re-
doubtable Heury Ward. His inAu-
ence is evil, and that continually.

compelled to sue butcher for non
payment of rent. Against the elo
quent persuasions of the young lady
the argument Of the butchers male at

A correspondent Of the New York

ough knowledge Of the cotton prospect
in that State and also in Georgia, Mis-

outlook is decidedly gloomy, owing tc
rain, dr6uth, rust, caterpillars, worms
and, SIN short, all the enemies that
usually hinder the health and growth
of cotton.' He thinks "thcrc ha:
never been a better prospect for an al
most total failure since 1870. when the
negro refused to pick cotton.''

The I.aurenS and ASheYille
Railroad.

An enthusiastic meeting of the tax
payers of Grecnville County, Was held
at Greenville on the 7th. at which
time it was
RcSolred, That it is the sense Of
this meeting of the taxpayers Of
Greeuvillc County, that the County
Commissioners shall subscribe thesum
of one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars in Bonds of the County of Green
vile to the capital stock Of the Lau-
rens and Asheville Railroad, provided
said Road shall be located through
said County, and a Depot Of said
Road shall be located within the cor
porate limits of the city Of Greenville;
and provided, further, that said sub
scription shell be ratified and confirm
ed by majority Of the qualified vo-
ters of said County, at all election to
be held on a day to be fixed by said
County Commissioners.
After some debate, it was uuani-
mously agreed to build by paying one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Wednesday. the goth Of August, has
been appointed by the County Com
missionerS of Grceuville, as the time
to take a vote on the subscription.
1t will be seen by the above that
Greenville is III earnest in this matter,
and Judging too, by the spirit mani
tested in Laurens, as we'll as the Coun-
ties of Buncombe and Henderson, in
North Carolina. the road must and
will be built.
At meeting held in Laurens, on
the 9th, Mr.. Jos. Crews, after stating
that he was the originator Of the Char
ter. said he felt sure Of its success,
and expected to rebuild the old Lau-
rens road, but if Newberry did not
come forward and help SHE WOULD
BE LEFT OUT IN THE COLD. Now We
do not like the animus of the Laurens
Senator. It is not sensible either.
That Newberry will step forward and
will help no one but Mr.. Crews will
dare deny. Mr.. T. B. Crews, the edi-
tor Of the Herald says, that on a recent
visit to Newberry, he Was pleased to
find that the citizens of Newberry were
alive to this thing, and full Of the rail
road fever. This is the truth, and it
is always best to speak Of things as
they are, and not as We would have
them, when the desire is selfish or
wicked.
Perhaps the following characteristic
paragraph from the Pr0gresstOe Ag6,
may have Influenced Mr.. Crews in his
remarks - ..
"The people of Laurens, headed by
Joseph Crews, are moving heaven and
earth for the building Of the Laureas
and Asheville Railroad, and here are
you. people Of Newberry, sitting 81
leutly down, after all your talk about
d charter for the Chester and Newber-
ry Railroad, doing nothing. Well, to
be truthful, this characterizes New
berry. You've a charter for a rail-
road; charter for a cotton factory
you were going wild about, and as
soon as you got it that ended it. TO
the Hon. Joseph Crews We say: Go
it, Joe; carry it through; don't let it
rest ; push along and keep moving.
You have our most earnest wishes for
your success. We will advocate your
measures while we run this paper.
We only wish We had i few Joseph
Crews here-if he IS Il big rascal as
they say; if We had, we'd build the
Chester and Newbcrry Railroad. Lau-
rcns is going s4O0, 900, and Newberry,
that boasts Of her wealth, can't 60
anything. Shame" ~

IrCn and Steel Interest.

TIE report OF the Secretary OF the
American Iron and Steel Association,
which WAS in session in Philadelphia
this week, among other things states
that the total number Of net tons otlron
and steel rails made in the United
States in 1872 ives GAL ,992, or SCI. CG4
gross tons. This aggregate was pro-
duced in sixteen States. There were
produced in the United States in 1872
about $4,000 net tons Of cast steel, and
in 1873 there will be produced about
$4,000 tons. In 1871 there were con.
yerted IS 900 net tons OF Beseemer steel;
in 1872, 10000 TONS and in 1873 it is
estimated that there will be converted
10000 tons. About 81 per cent. OF the
Bessemer steel that is now converted in
American works passes into rails 1t is
estimated that the mileage OF new tracka
for the year 1873 ls only 5000 miles, a
decrease since last year OF more than SO
per cent. The year 1871 Witnessed the
elimination of railroad construction in
this country. The number Of miles built
in th't year WAS 7,779. TheIreaction COM
menced in 1872, when 6,427 miles were
built. The totsl railroad construction OF
1874 is estimated at 5000 miles, the
mileage as the estimate for 1873.

Hon. Joseph Medill, Mayor Of Chr
cago, now travelling in Europe, writes
as follows concerning the condition OF
affairs in Ireland: .
The farmers Of Illinois complain bit"
terly, and justly too, Of enormous rail.
road charges for carrying their products
to market; and, to redress their grew
auces, have banded themselves into
secret societies, called Oranges, and Or
ganized new political party. But the
oppression OF the railroads is not flea.
bite to that of landlordism in Ireland.
1.-THE farmers OF Ireland owned their
lands, and were thereby rent-free, they
would be happy and contented, and es-
TEEN themselves independent and rich,
although railroad charges are as high
in Ireland as in Illinois. Suppose the
whole State of Illinois WAS owned IN
fee.simple by 1000 or $500 persons,
who spent their lives in idleness and
dissipation in New York, Boston and
in the watering places, and whose title
to the land was acquired by confscat'on
from the present occupants Of the
country; and that the rents exacted
were precisely the utmost sum the land
would yield by any kind Of farming or
forcing, leaving the cultivators OF the
soil to subsist as best they could, on
roots, porridge, skim-milk and salt
how would they like that2 How long
would they stand il? How loyal would
they be to government which support,
ed the absentee lords against them, and
collected the rents for them ct the point
Of the sword ?
