A CITY THAT NEEDS ANOTHER
RAILROAD.

Upon the SUBJECT of narrow gauge
railroads ami the wants OF Colorado,
a letter from DR.. l.. {. Mckinney, the
editor of the Colorado Farmer, is pub
Ii>bed in the Lincoln Journal. Some
Important and Interesting facts are
stated with regard to the management
of the i'aciii: roads and. the monopoly
business that the city of Denver is
compelled to support. Says DIR. Nc
Kinney:
Since the Luiliing of narrow gauge
railroads was commenced, there has
eve Teen a line, ror a section Of
country that SO much needed one a
the rich territory from Ea>.e:D Neb-
raska to the Empire City ofthc plains
Representing the great mountain re-
g:On of Colorado, as well as the pains
or fiat lands to the west Of Nebraska.
We can join h .nd> with any effort that
looks to bringing to our city a c,m-
.peteing railroad. We have already a
wide gauge railroad f,om Kansas CITY
to Denver, and W. have the Denver
Pacific railroad from Denver to Chev-
enne where il connects with the Tn
ion Pacific. We have thus two out
lets TO the east. but We have no com.
petition The distance from Chey
enne in round numbers is LOG miles,
and the charge Tor y passenger i. $40.
and for freight, from $3.50 to $o2l5 per
car loal. To get east from Cheyenne
is fair 20 say that seven cents per mi'e
is the regular charge, while for freight
the charges are about the same as on
the kanSae Pacific from Kan>aS CITY
to Denver. The mr,ch,nts Of Den
yer have paid and are now paying fer
freight upon their goods. two dollars
and sixty cents from Kansas City to
Denver for every lon pounds Of freight
while the total charge for the same
class of freight per hundred pounds
rom New York City to Kansas City
is 80 carts! While this great differ
ence is evident. the difference in miles
is reversed, and i; is more than twice
the distance from New York City to
Kansas City that it i, from kanias
City to Beaver! II will no, be a ulat
ter of surprise that tie citizens Of Den
Yer should take an interest in any
movement that lhoks towards the
building Of an eastern outlet tina,
could compete with the present rail
roads running east from Denver. We

In one the hotels of the city boards a
Gentleman with his two children, small boy
and girl whose mother died two years and a
half ago. The children are bright and we'll
behaved, and in their mo'herless condition
naturally attract no little attention from the
lady guests at the hotel. \ day or two ago,
The boy, about five years ofage, was question
Cd by lady who was talking with him as to
whether or not he remembered his mother 3
As the child was at the time OF his mother 5
death but two and half years old it appear
cd doubtful that his memory would serve him,
but he answered promptly in the affirmative.
The lady, somewhat interested, exclaimed in
return:
do you remember her, indeed: Well, tell
ne all about her. Can you recollect what
she was like-What kind of lady she was 81
The almostinfant folded his hands before
him, leaned back in his chair and replied
with the most crushing gravity:

lated an anccdote in relation to buying a
horse, which he Jold as follows: | bought
the horse at auction; they called it MEX

but supposed g. all right. The brotherin.
law of the aur ,rner took me to one side and
said: Now, I'D cheat YOU but won't;
I gee you are '~anger. Now, that horse IS

Two men hello head and another man held
linn Gown to ground by his tail, and
mounted and A.ta, soon as they let 90, that
horse brought all his feet together in a bunch
and lowered his back and then suddenly eie-
waited it, throwing me some feet into the air.

and lit on the saddle and up | went again and
still again. This time | lii on the neck OftAe

hind feet and went through with all the
@ymnastlc performances he knew Of, and
iEally ended by throwing me up again, and
while l was in the air | heard some one say,
All, how he bucks" so that was "buCklnC.'
Before got down some one hit that horse,
and when got down he was not there. Plen-
~ of friends gathered around TO offer me
sympathy. They always do when you want
10 be alone. l wanted to sit down, and did
sit down, and / was so sore and bruised and
shaken, put one hand on my head, the other
on my stomach, and if / had sixteen hands |

IMPROVED AeR1CuITURE.

The officers of the Anderson Farmers
and Mechanics Association accepted the
invitation of the President, B. F. Crayton,
Esq, aud spent most agreeable day upon
his farm on Saturday last. The visitors
were taken upon tour of inspection around
the farm, and were highly grati6ed to wit
ness the substantial progress and improve
ment manifest in every direction. The
chief attraction for that day, however, was
the harvesting of the wheat crop, and the
excellent work performed by the Reaper,
under the skillful guidance of a German
laborer, attested the economy and desira-
bility of improved machinery for the devel-
opment of agriculture in this country. Mr..
Crayton is the pioneer of many improve
ments in farming operations, but we have
always imagined that his public benefac-
ton. were costly experiments to him as an
Individual Yet, we are satisfied that his
present plan of operations will yield pro-
fitable return in the increased value of his
farm, and there is no doubt that the intro
duction of improved machinery and reliable
labor will give him decided advantages.
Mr.. Crayton has expended large sums of
money in this direction, and yet he is not
visionary or theoretical in his ideas. The
practical results are to be seen in the vastly
improved condition of his farm, which will
rank with any in the up-country. Indeed,
the grain crop lust harvested is generally
conceded to be the best in this vicinity,
while the growing crops Of corn and cotton
are equally good. AS our readers know,
Mr.. Crayton has none but German laborers
upon his farm, and they are under his per-
sonal supervision He gives them wages
for their work, and supplies their families
with wholesome food. None of them are
troubled in regard to the sustenance of life
and all of them are contented and indus
trious,

RIFLE COMPANY.

The young men Of. Anderson organized q
Rifle Company on last Monday, with sixty
three members. The following gentlemen
were elected officers: P. K. McCully, Cap
tain; J. Baylis Lewis, First Lieutenant;
]. D. Maxwell, Second Lieutenant; John
R. Williams, Third Lieutenant. It is
thought that the name of palmetto Rifle
Club" will be selected, and it is intended to
uniform the company at an early day. II
has been suggested that Abbeville, Green
vile and Anderson unite in forming bat
talon, and meet once year to contend for
prizes in drilling and target-shooting which
would create greater interest among the
different companies. The suggestion is a
good one, and We hope to hear from Green
Vile and Abbeville that it is favorably re-
ceived.. If the young men need any assis-
tance towards procuring arms and equip
ments, we trust the citizens of Anderson
will promptly respond to their appeal.

MEssRs. EDITORS: In your issue of the LIST
instant are published the nominations made
by the Fork Democratic Club, and amongst
others my name appears f'r County School
Commissioner. I thank my neighbors for
this public expression of their confidence
and goodwill, and accept the nomination.
I have lived so retired a life on my farm for
the last eight or ten years that am almost
entirely unknown to the younger voters of
the County, outside my own immediate
naighborhood, and as it is impossible for
me to canvass the County at this busy sea-
son of the year, I must beg a little space in
your paper to record my sentiments.
The people have very wisely determined
that those who expect their suffrage shall
declare thoir political views. Formerly,
this was deemed unnecessary in aspirants
for office non-political; but at this time it is
clearly necessary that party lines, in our
County at least, should be strictly drawn,
that the Democracy may have an opportu-
nifty of showing to the world that they are
not in league with those who have brought
such widespread ruin on the people, and
such humiliation and disgrace on the good
name of the State.
To those who are well acquainted with
me, it is unnecessary to say that am q
Democrat, and that I have never for mo-
ment wavered in my fidelity to the party,
or the great principles of which it is the
exponent. Its teachings are part of my
education, and faith in its ultimate triumph
part of my creed.
Now that the passion and prejudice en-
gendered by the great civil strife are subsid-
ing, the people throughout all the land are
longing for the return of that party to power,
which, for so many years of peace, prosperi-
ty and honor, guided the policy and directed
the councils of the State and Nation. They
will speak out in the fall elections in tones
not to be misunderstood, and Anderson
County will be no laggard in the great work
of regeneration. With the party so thor
oughly organized as it is in this County;
with the people so profoundly impressed as
they are with the importance OF casting the
Democratic vote as unit, there can be no
reasonable doubt rs to the result Of the final
election in November.
Any individual preference we may have
amongst Democratic candidates must be ex-
pressed at the primary election, as after that
election we will know no candidates except
those who have been chosen by majority
of the party as their standard bearers.
AS promises made my candidates for po-
sltions of trust are not at premium just
now with the good people of the County, 1
will simply say that if called by my brother
Democrats to the responsible position for
which have been named, I will show my
appreciation of their kindness by discharg-
ing my duties faithfully, and in such man.
ner as to give my friends no cause to regret
having trusted me.
Respectfully,
J. P. BROWN.
Scncca Home, June 10, 1876.
