CHESTER AND LENOIR RAILROAD.

We briefly announced last week that con-
tract had been entered into with the Roane
Iron Company, of Chattanooga, Tenn, for a
sufficient amount of iron to lay the track of
the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Rail-
road from this place to Dallas, N. G. DR..
Davega, President of the Company, who, in
behalf of the corporation, entered into the
contract, has returned from Chattanooga, and
from him we learn that the required amount
of iron is to be furnished and delivered on cars
ready for Shipment between the 10th of De.
cember and the 1st of February next. A
contract has also been made with the Trede-
gar Iron Company, of Richmond. Va, for
fastenings and spikes with which to lay
the iron. The fastenings are of the most ap-
proved pattern in use, being known as the
Fish; joint. Steps are now being taken to ae-
cure the cross-ties, and we presume the work
of laying the track, connecting this place with
Gastonia, on the Airline Railroad, will be
commenced as soon as circumstances will per-
NIT. Ithas not yet been definitely determin-
ed whether the work of laying the track will
be commenced at Gastonia or Yorkville.

DEALER IN FERTILIZERS

CHARLESTON, 8. c., November l, 1875.
TAVING been engaged for twenty years in the
III Guano Trade, with eminent success, DEEM
ed it advisable to introduce Fertilizers under my
own name and guarantee. I have made arrange
ments to have prepared Guano under my in
spection and control, called ROBSON'S COTTON
AND CORN FERTILIZER. This Guano is OF
the highest standard. It contains, among other
valuable ingredients, three per cent. of Ammo
nia one and half per cent. of Potash, and four
teen per cent. of Available Phosphate also
have prepared for me a COMPOUND ACID
PHOSPHATE of the highest standard. These
Fertilizers are compounded of the purest mate
rials and are manipulated and tested under the
supervision of DR.. st. j. Ravenel, of this city,
whose name gives q warrant for their high char
acter and adaptation to our soil. l offer these
Fertilizers to Planters on the following favorable
terms:
RoBsON's COTTON & CORN FERTILIZER,
Cash, $46 per ton; on time, $53.
ROBSON'S COMPOUND ACID PHOSPHATE,
Cash, $50 per ton; on time, $35.
Planters ordering Immediately will be allowed
to the first Of April to decide which they prefer,
cash or time. An order for car load Of eight
tons will be sent free of drayage; but for less
amount 81 per ton will be charged. On orders
for large lots from Changers or dealers, liberal
discount will be allowed.
I take this occasion to return my thanks to
those who have so largely patronized the Fertili-
zers hitherto offered by me, and in soliciting their
favorable attention to another, pledge my best
efforts to meet continuance OF confidence by
keeping the highest standard of Fertilizers adap-
ted to cotton and corn.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CtIESTEp Nouamhar IL

CHESTER, November 10, 1875.
Mr.. S. w. McNeel, of the neghborhood
of McConnelsvlle, while in our town on
Tuesday, informed me of late dastardly at
tempt of some villain to destroy his gin house.
The building, filled with cotton, was set on
fire about two o'clock in the day, and would
have been soon consumed, had not the fire
been discovered in time to prevent so unfortu-
nate result The laborers on the place ral-
lied to Mr.. McNeel's assistance, and by hard
work succeeded in saving the house, with the
greater portion of its contents The cotton
DESTROYED was in the seed, and amounted to
about fifteen hundred pounds. Mr.. McNeel
attributed the burning to negro man in the
neighborhood, who bore him some enmity, and
who had been heard making iucendiary threats
against his property. The supposed incen-
diary is relative of the negro who murdered,
few months ago, brother Of Mr.. McNeel.
Mr.. McNeel tells me that he sleeps in his gin
house every nig ght. The condition of affairs
that compels such course of action, is deplo-
rable 1t is the result, in great measure, of
an improper administration of the laws by
courts of JUSTICE and lavish use of the par
doning power by the Governor of the State.
There is considerable complaint, among the
farming community, of stealing by the col.
ored element. One farmer reports a loss of
seven wagon loads of corn. He tells me that
a negro, who lives near him and has no osten-
sible way of making a living, has corn for
sale. In every portion of the county there
are lazy, vagabond rascals, who sleep during
the day and spend their nights in stealing.
Their supreme Indifference to the laws makes
them very bold in their thieving operations.
Their Indifference would Immediately disap-
pear if they felt any fears of punishment in
doing wrong. Governor Chamberlain MAJ kes
beautiful speeches, and still more beautiful
promises, but if he will stop bis practice
of pardoning thieves, and thus encouraging
robbery and rascality, he will improve very

SAD cASEOF DROWNING.

On Wednesday of last week, Rev. Charles
E. Butler, colored, and colored girl named
Anna Littleohn, were drowned while at
tempting to cross Gilkie's creek in Union
county. They had left this place on Tues
day morning, and reached the ford Of the
creek, which stream was much swollen by
recent rains, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon
of Wednesday. Though warned against ma
king the attempt to cross, they drove in, when
the mule hitched to the buggy Immediately
disappeared under the water, dragging the
buggy and its occupants with it. Butler did
not rise after going under the water, but his
companion rose to the surface one time and
made an Intellectual attempt to reach pole
with which boy on the bank of the stream
endeavored to rescue her. Failing to reach
the pole, she Aoated about hundred yards
down the stream and sank. Her body was
taken out of the water on the same evening.
Buffers body was recovered the next morn
ing, about three-fourths of mile below the
ford. After the recovery of his body, it was
found that his neck had been broken, which
is supposed to have occurred Immediately af'
ter the catastrophe. The mule, after floating
down the creek and lodging against water
gate, where it remained for several hours COW
cred by raft of drifted timber, was taken
out alive, and not seriously injured. The
buggy was also recovered, as we'll as every
article in the possession of the unfortunate
occupants, except Buffers watch and one
cushion of the buggy seat. The girls home
was in Union, G. H., where her remains were
taken for burial. Buffers remains we're ta-
ken to Spartanburg, his former home, for in
terment.
Butler was we'll known in this community,
having been for two years pastor Of the COL
ored Methodist Church in this place and by
his upright conduct and correct department,
he gained the esteem of all who knew him.

THE BANKRUPT.-It is estimated that of
the number who launch their barques Oh the
stormy sea of commerce, nine out of ten be-
come bankrupt Many things conspire to ef:
feet this result. Prominent among them is
"living beyond your MEANS" exhausting your
financial strength. So it is in the physical
mart, possessed of strength and anticipations
of long life, we launch out in quest Of pleas
ure.
We live beyond our means; undermining
our constitutions by extravaganza in eating
and drinking; by disregarding the natural
laws of health, and ere we are aware Of it we
are bankrupts in body-dyspepsia and rheu,
matism, or liver complaint, or shattered
nerves, or kidney disease or dropsy exhausts
our physical capital and we are unable to
meet the heavy drafts upon our constitution.
But you may resume. Check your extrava-
gance and by the aid Of TurT's Pills, your
broken constitution will be restored and the
drafts on the exchequer Of health will never
be dishonored.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.
Fort MILL, S. c., Nov. 15, 1875.

FORT MILL, S. c., Nov. ID, 1875.
The cotton crop in this section has been
gathered and nearly the whole of it has been
sold. If the crop generally has been as thor
oughly sold as it has been here, I do not see
anything to prevent the price OF the staple
from advancing, for there will certainly be
scarcity of the article until next crop. Du-
ring the past fall 1900 bales have been sold
at this place. notwithstanding our buyers
have been laboring under the unjust, not to
say tyranica, discrimination of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company.
Though the distance from Fort Mill to Char.
lotte is only sixteen miles, yet the freight on
a bale of cotton from here to that place is tw0
dollars, while the freight on bale from
Charlotte to New York is only one dollar and
ninety cents. This attempt to force cotton on
particular line, by unjust and discrimina-
ting freight tariffs, has operated to the detri'
ment of the road by the decrease in freights,
not only of cotton, but merchandise and 9th
er articles, which shippers now have consign-
ed to Charlotte. Freights for Lancaster,
which, heretofore we're consigned to Fort
Mill, are now consigned to Charlotte, and
from thence hauled to their destination in
wagons, the shippers properly declining to
patronize road so blind to its own interest,
and which has such little regard for the &C.
commodation of the public. MORGAN.
