a SAD SUICIDE.-The community was
shocked yesterday morning by the an
nOuncement that Mrs. Harriet E. Rose, q
respectable lady of fifty three years of
age, living with her husband at 269
Meeting street, was found dead in her
room, having committed suicide by hang
ing herself to the bedpost. Mr.. John G.
Rose, her husband, is cripple, and
makes livelihood by making cigars.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the
deceased got up and went into an adjoin-
ing room. She was seen by her husband
when she got up, but thinking nothing
about it he fell asleep again. About Z
o'clock he got up and to his horror on
entering the next room he discovered his
wife hanging from the bedpost with q
rope around her neck. Mrs. Appeler, q
neighbor, vas called, and che called in
Mr.. V. Brandt, who, thinking that life
might not yet be extinct, cut the body
down and used all means possible to re-
vive her, but in vain. The unhappy
woman had tied tho rope around her
neck and attached the other end of it to
the top of the bedpost, which was very
tall, belonging to one of the old styled
English bedsteads. She then jumped off
the bed, throwing her whole weight on
her neck, her feet not coming within two
feet of the floor. Her neck was not bro
ken, and she must have died of strapgu-
lation. Her husband and her son, who
has recently been married. could give no
reason for the rash act. Deputy Coroner
Philippy was notined and held an inquest
over the body at 4 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The verdict was that the de-
ceased CAME to her death at her residence,
269 Meeting street, about o'clock on
the morning of the 2lst of August, 1879,
by hanging herself to the bedpost with q

five fail to secure the Savannah VAL
ley Railroad to Anderson it will be built
from LowLiessille to Bolton, and our
town will be greatly injured by having
such a large section of our present trade
hopeleasly cut of from US. This, too,
would injufe the townships along our
line, for by damaging their natural
trading point, the inconvenience to mar
ket and increased price It viii impose
will be fell throughout the entire County.
BY building up Anderson Court House
the advantages offered to the farmer will
be greatly increased. The competition
in freights will produce very material
difference 10 the price Of all articles.
Thus, for Instance, the present cost of
bale of cotton to Charleston ia 1915,
while IL We had the Road to Augusta it
would not be moro than $l75, at the out.
side. This alone would be saving of at
least $l.0C per bale on cotton, which
would make this staple sell for quarter
of cent higher on every pound. This
saving alone would pay tho Railroad tax
every year, and would continue for all
time to come, while the tax would only
last for three years. Not only would
this competition in freights make the
farmers produce sell for more, but it
would also enable him TO buy his supplies
cheaper. The saving in the freights on
guanos, bacon, molasses and other arti-
cles would pay this tax three times over.
The building of this Road would give
Anderson most des;rable and efficient
competition between railroads. The con-
nection at Augusta would place us 25
miles closer to Charleston, and would
give us four outlets from that point to all
Northern cities, viz: one by way Of
Charleston, over the South Carolina Rail
road; ono by Charlotte, over the Char.
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad :;
one over the Port Royal Road, and one
by tho water route. 1t would also give
us desirable connection with the West
over tho Georgia Road. These lines
would be in direct competition with the
Grcenville and Columbia line, and would
secure for us all the benefits Of through
freights. Considering these things, we
believe the building of this Road will be
of greater advantage to our Town and
County than any enterprise that has en-
gagged our attention for many years.

The report that if the people vote for
the railroad tax thero will bo no end to the
taxation isa great mistake. The charter of
the company only allows the taxation to
List for three years. Even If there was
any necessity for more money, and the
people were willing TO vote more taxes to
the road, they could not do 30 under the
charter. The taxation ends in three years,
and no township cEn be called on to pay
one cent more than it votes for Oh next
Wednesday.

Conkling has persistently refused TO
converse or be interviewed about the
Earragansett scandal, and the affair has
assumed something of the reverse shape
TO that which is usual. Instead of Conk-

sought an Interview with New York
reporter and completely exonerates tho
New York Senator from any ilnputation

One of the arguments used by the op.
ponents of the Savannah Valley Rail-
road 10 the voting of tag to build it Is,
that the amount asked for will not be
enough to complete tho Road. The fol-
lowing estimates, based on the experience
of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad
authorities, who have graded their Road
with an expense of less than 5000 per
mile, shows that tho amount asked for
will put the company in position which
will enable them to complete the Road
on the 100000 asked for. The actual
distance 10 be graded Is Icss than fifty
miles, but for full measure wo will make
the estimate for that distance. At six
hundred dollars per mile, the cost will be
for grading $4,000; twenty-six hundred
cross.ties per mile, at Is cents, will be
$4,000 per mile, or $l9, 500 for the whole
distance, which makes The cost of grading
and putting on the cross-ties consume
the tax voted. Then a mortgage at the
rate Of "a, 900 per mile will raise 5000 900.
Cost OF iron at $4,000 per mile, which
will secure the best quality of iron with
fish-bar joints, and lay it, would be $780,
900. Two engines, forty box cars, twenty
fats and four passenger cars would only
cost $45, 900, which would leave $15 900
on hand, SO that even if the bonds of the
Railroad Company should only cell at
ninety cents on the dollar, the amount
raised would be amply sufficient to secure
the completion Of the Road. These fig
ures have been gathered from practical
men, and are believed to be over the
minimum necessary to build the Road.
It will, therefore, be seen that the amount
asked for if granted will be sufficient to
secure the connection with Augusta,
which is so much desired by the people
Of tho Savannah sido of our County.

THE TICKET.
The s.IKerO of Hickman''
Crowned.

We place the names of the nomi-
nees of the Democratic convention
at the head of our column this week.
If every other name on the ticket
were absolutely distasteful, the name
of LUKE p. BLACKBURN, for Gov
ernor, would send thrill of en-
thusiasm through the hearts of the
people of this section, and that
too irrespective of party. But, we
are assured that there is not 4 name
on the whole ticket that is not wor-
thy, competent, deserving and trust
worthy. They are the choice Of
the Democracy of the State, and,
having each won this endorsement
and distinction fairly, it remains
now only for the people to ratify
their selection at the polls next
August.
eD We want an even 100000
majority for Blackburn, and the
others can follow on Mt the best
possible ratc-so they all get in.
pD~ 1t is true that our eend of
the State was entirely left out in
the cold-(as usuaD-but while we
regret it, it may be none the worse,
for not knowing the nominees VIC
can rally tolerable enthusiasm,
whereas the nomination of some we
know too we'll might have dampen-
eel the ardor.
We know DIR. Blackburn to be a
good man, noble philanthropist
and benefactor, a self-sacrifcing
hero, thorough democrat, and of
ability equal to the position for
which he is nominated. Rowing
this, and feeling this, we can, and
do, most heartily yield all claims to
office and honors, that the gratitude
of our hearts may be realized in
seeing his brow wreathed with the
garlands of a grateful States APP
probation.
Let the First District give DIR.
Blackburn $4,000 majority.
Democrats, Republicans, white
and black, see to it, in all fairness,
that Fulton county, without dis
senting vote, goes solid for Black
burn.
To the deserving public men of
Southern Kentucky, we say-bide
your time. Neglect has grown rank,
but time will right these things |
but in this canvass only let flowers
decorate the ticket which has 81.
p. Blackburn" at its head.

The Same Day.

The Democratic State Conven-
ton did one thing which the De-
mocracy, without dissenting voice,
will approve, and that was the
adoption of the resolution fixing
that all counties should select dele
gates to State conventions on the
same day. This was a wise reso-
luton. Ii will prevent candidates
from racing over the State, and in
a measure the unseemly scrambles
which result in SO many of the
couaty conventions. Candidates
can canvass the State, discuss pub
lie measures and questions, present
their claims, get acquainted with
the people, hold joint discussions if
they will, but every county hold
ing respective conventions OH the
same day, it will be impossible for
candidates to personally attend. and
it is from this personal attendance
thai two-thirds Of the disgraecfuI
scramble ensue. Now let ali the
Congressional districts, Judicial dis
tricts, and Legislative districts, pass
a similar resolution, for precinct
and county meetings TO be held on
the sanle day. There may have
beeR atime when candidate would
have been personally disgraccd to
have displayed the impudence of
being present when his own name
was being yotsd Oh. but imprudcncc
is pronounced a winRipg card these
latter days, and impotence has
iomiRcered oyer everything until
the better intelligence OF tho esan-
fry is rising to rcbuke it,
