THE GREENVlLLE AND C0E.
UMBIA RAILROAD.
Abbeville Press and BANNER.


There seems to be still more trouble
about the management of the Green
vile and Columbia Railroad and the
South Carolina Railroad, and our
esteeued contemporary, the Charleston
Nears and Courier, loses it's temper
and uses some strong expressions in
reference to letter which it publishes
from the managers of the G. & C.
Road. We have always felt great
interest in Charleston, and have time
and again urged the necessity of being
put in proper railroad connection with
that city, but owing to the manage.
ment Of the South Carolina Railroad
which had controlled the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad for several
years previous tc the appointr cat
Of Receiver, this part of the country
is pretty well convinced that we have
been most shamefuily treated, and
when the Greenviile and Columbia
Railroad was advertised for sale we
hoped for a change of some kind.
Our respected neighbor the News and
Courier, speaks something Of the
South Carolina cars being used by
the Greenville and Columbia Road.
In reply to that we might say that if
the South Carolina Railroad had not
absorbed a large part of the gross
earnings of this road for years it
might have been able to buy suff-
cheney of cars for any business which
this road may be called upon to do.
1t looks little like the South Carroll
liua Railroad has at last met its
match, and there is jast enough Of
the old Adam left in some of Us to
cause US to have very few regrets at
the early discontinue Of a corpora.
tion which has in the past exercised
its power so arbitrarily.

ONLY A PENNY.-The followin.

ONLY A PENNY.-The following
anecdote, says an English paper,
illustrates how money, by chang
ing hands, accomplishes so much.
A singular financial transaction
occurred lately in an Office. By.
some means or other it happened
that the Office boy owed one of
the clerks 8 pence, the clerk
owed the cashier 2 pence, and the
cashier owed the Office boy 2
pence. One day last week the
Office boy, having penny in his
pocket, concluded to diminish his
debt, and therefore handed it
over to the clerk, who, in, turn,
paid half his debt by giving it to
the cashier. The latter gave it
back to the boy, saying that he
only owed him l penny. The
office boy again passed the penny
to the clerk, who passed it to the
cashier, who passed it back to the
boy, and the boy discharged the
entire debt by handing it to the
clerk, thereby sonaring all ac-
counts. Thus it i%ay be seen how
great is the benefit 20 be derived
from a single penny.

THE WAY THEY Do UP
NORTH.

A Detroit man who was hunt.
ing land in Antrim County, came
across a settler who was doing
some logging with yoke Of oxen.
The two sat down together on
log and had talk during which
it transpired that the settler had
been deacon in q village in the
southern part of the State, and
bad lately moved in there. By
and by the Detrolter moved On,
but after travelling for half a mile
had to retrace his steps to secure
closer particulars regarding the
lay Of a surveyed highway. While
he was yet eighty rods away he
heard shouts, and the nearer he
drew the more the shouts sounded
like cuss words. When be reach
ed the clearing the settler was
jumping up and down and pound
ing the oxen, which refused to
pull on a log. Every word at-
tered by the settler required three
exclamation points 70 punctuatc
it, and were ground out like
wheat from a hopper.

troiter, that you were a deacon

What way is that?' asked the
Detroiter, after the settler had
worn up his CAD and thrown the
stump OF it away.

and swear and sweat, during the
day, and sing old Hundred all

The farmers wife was oct in
her front yard, watering her
thirsty flowers, when a young
man, walking hastily along the
street, came up to the gate, and
inquired if she had seen a man
pass on a bicycle. She dropped
her watering pot, and said she had
not, adding: But I'll tell you

FENCING IN THEIR RAIL
ROAD.
Greenyille News.

The Clyde line, running the COL
uubia and Greenville Railroad, seem
determined to force traffic on their
line. In pursuance of this policy
they have broken connection with the
Airline Railroad at Seneca and
Greenville, necessitating the issuing
of the following order:
ATLANTA AND CHARLOTTE
AIRLINE RAILWAY,
GENERAL FREIGHT OFFICE,
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. II, 1880.
Commencing this date the Atlanta
and Charlotte Airline Railway will
decline to receive any freight destined
for Stations on the Columbia and
Greeuville Railroad, Blue Ridge Rail-
road, Columbia, S. c., and points on
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad.
This action is forced upon US by
the roads named refusing to pay
charges and receive such freights
from this Company at Greenville and
Seneca. R. D. CARPENTER,

Mr. A. ]. Perkins, a leading ner-
chant and mill-owner Of Lake Charles,
La, and who, by the way, is an ad-
mirer of fine horses, has been so
journcr in this city for the past week.
During his stay he was attracted by
the beautiful proportions of splendid
horse, which he purchased, and feeling
proud Of hissnew possession, he invited
his friends Capt Rolling and Capt.
Lubfin; Bwo thoroughbred seamen,
around toy2spect his charger. They
were on hand at the appointed hour,
and accompanied Mr.. Perkins to his
stables for the purpose of passing their
opinions. "There, gentlemen" said
Mr.. r., sis as fine a piece of horsefesh
as You ever set eyes upon" as he led
his high-stepper into the yard. "Clip-
per built said Capt. Rolling, Ground
bottom, spars all right, rigging all gone,
the port lamp needs fixing; the rudder-
postseems to be stout enough for rough
weather" "Yes," chimed in Capt.
Inbbin, "but if he was mine I'd give
him a coat of copper paint and take in
the peak halyard little. The model
is all right and the timbers look like
they could stand heavy pressure of
stay chains" "What is his registerg''
asked Capt Rollfnger, as his friend
tried to get a glimpse at the horses
teeth. ''lie don't seem to have been
entered at the custom-house,'' was the
reply. "Ahl he will do well enough
TO tow a light buggy on the beach"
said Capt. Rolling, "bnt he is too light
for the lumber trade" "What the
devil are you fellows talking about,
said Mr.. Perkins, in blank
amazement. "Get in there, Charlie,
and you can bet that the next time j
bring anybody here to inspect your
fine points twill be some one who
knows the difference betweenthe fore
castle Of a schooner and horse's mouth
somebody that can drive buggy
without compass and that can shut
both eyes and tell the difference be-
tween q full-rigged ship ard a four
carriage"

We are gratiEicd to know that everr
obstacle 10 the coming Of the Great
Eastern 10 this city has been removed,
and that. ali parties concerned have
cheerfulIy comcforward and offered not
only 10 relinquish their rights but also
to extend every facility and cooperation
to insure the success Of the enterprise.
This is as it should be, aud as we ex-
pectcd il would be from our knowledge
Of the persons chiefly interested in the
shipping charges, Strengthening Of cat
tic, etc.
There is universal desire ON the
part Of thepeople to have this miracle
Of modern marine architecture brought
to our city and moored to our wharves,
and there seems to be no doubt that,
upon the receipt Of assurances from
the constituted authorities that there
will be no port charges CT expense Of
any kind for them to pay, the charter
parties viii at once send the ship to
this point for acargo of beef, grain,
cotton, etc. The presence of the Great
Eastern, the largest vessel afoat, at orr
leyce would be worth great deal of
money to New Orleans, proclaiming,
as it will, an q manner absolutely in
conference.-the, the depth of water in
the ietties, and calling the attention
of the world, as nothing else could, to
the advantages Of New Orleans as
seaport.
The great ship draws, when fully
laden, thirty-one feet, and, we believe,
twenty-five feet light. We have the
authority of Col. Andrews (under
whose immediate supervision the jet
ties were built, and than whom there
is no better judge of their capacity
for saying that he could bring the
Great Eastern through the jetties even
should she be drawing thirty-one feet,
SO that there can be impossible trouble
in that direction. 1t seems TO us, in
view Of the vast Importance to New
Orleans of this matter, that it might
easily be arranged to guarantee the
vessel free pilotage and towage through
the jetties, as well as the freedom of
our port. Her visit here late in the
fall or in the winter would unquestion-
ably attract thousands Of visitors, not
only from the States adjacent, but
from all parts of the country, and we
earnestly hope that every proper effort
will be made by our people to secure
the coming of the great ship.
