THE SUN FOR 1881

Everybody reads THE SUN. In the edi>
tions OF this newspaper throughout the year
to come everybody will find:
L. All the worlds news, so presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount of in
formation with the least Improbable expen.
diture of time and eyesight. The SUN long
ago discovesed the golden mean between re
dundant fulness and unsatisfactory brevity.
IL, Much Of that sort of news which do.
Pends less upon its recognized Importance
than upon its interest to mankind. Fron
morning to morning The Sun prints con-
tinued story of the lives of real men and wn-
men, and OF their deeds, plans, loves. bates.
and troubles. This story is more varied and
more interesting than any romance that was
ever devised. ""0
Ill. Good writing in every column. md
freshness, originality, accuracy. and decornr"
In the treatment of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment. The Suns habit "a
10 speak out fearlessly about men and things
v. Equal candor in dealing with each no.,
litical party, and equal readiness to oommend
what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what ia
blamable in Democrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute independence of partisan or,
ganiza'lons' but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. The Sun believes tbat
the Government which the Constitution oives
as is good one to keep. Its notion Of duty
is to resist TO its utmost power the efforts Of
men in the Republican party to set up anoth-
er form OF government in place of that which
exisis. The year 1881 and the years imme-
diately following will probably decide this
supremely important contest The Sun bo-
lieves that the victory will be with The peo-
pie as against the Rings for monopoly, tho
Rings for plunder' and the Rings for impc-
rial power.

The Railroads in this State, accord
ing to the recent report of Railroad
Commissioner Bonham, are increas-
ing their Ebusiness and net earnings.
There are seventeen railroads in one :
ration in the State, with a total length
exclusive of sidings. of 1,4o73 miles.
The total expense for running theso
for 1880 was $3,5S5,766; the totul in
come was44..$4, 4,943,O ,O74; net earnings,
Sl,357, ,3O7. Last year the total ex>
pense was $3.O9s ,346; gross income,
81 ,OO8, 1902; net earnings, S91O,546.--
Thus showing not only an increase of
business amounting to nearly rs per
cent, but an increase of profit of nearly
so per cent.

Imagine if you can what would
happen Tomorrow morning if the
railway locomotive and it's coroIlary,

The recent meeting of the State
Grange in Charleston was ono of the
best ever held. The reports of the
officers showed that the membership
was largely in excess of last year; that
the Grange is in good working condi>

alive to the agricultural interests OF
the State.

Our Law Makers.

1t is generally understood that the
Legislature will adjourn sine die to-
day (Thursday) aftor a short but very
laborious session. Some much needed
changes have been made in our laws,
and measures of reform have been ine
augurated which greatly oommends
the patriotism of those who originated
them. Our law>makers will now re~
turn to their constituency, and, we
think, should receive the welcome
pIaudit, "welI done, good and faithful
servants" We hope they will find a
fat turkey in the pen for Christmas.

The Atlantic and French Broad Valley
s. Railroad.


Last Friday We visited the limo of
this Railroad where the convict force
ID at work under the superintendence
of Capt. Sumit. The road is now
graded from Easley to within less
than one mile of Pickens G. I'll.
1t has become an axiom in COM
merce that railroads are indespensa>
bio to the material development OF
any country; for tho advantages and
disadvantages of any commercial en-
terpi'ise are always estimated by it's
distance from come line of railroad;
yet there are wealthy farmers and
good business men.among us, whose
eyes arc not open to this patent fact.
But we cannot think this class of citi>
zens are watching this enterprise with
Indifference. They are too intelligent
for that. They know that these
mountains, valleys, streams and hills
have long beat back the tide Of
wealth, which is now about to enter
through the breach, and if this is
accomplished without their aid, they
will rejoice the more in the spoils.-
This would bo business>like course,
if railroads were the spontaneous outs
growth of tallow fields and untouched
forests, but money is needed to prose-
cute such an enterprise, and we arc
surprised at that sefishness which re
fuses 10 give, lest it should prove n
benefit to some one else. Many q
man has lost, not only five dollars,
but fortune, by refusing 10 give one
dollar.
The old odago which says, GA bird
in the hand is worth two in The bush,"
does not mean that one bird in the
hand is worth five in tho bush, espe>
cially it the bush is near at hand and
you have q good trusty shot gun well
loaded. But selfishness is the hardest
thing TO condemn that ever went un.
condemned. 1t is really commonda>
ble. All that we want 10 mako this
country more prosperous than it is, is
just q little higher grade of seIfshncss,
that kind which causes its posscssor
to do whatever he can 10 benefit him>
self, even at the peril of being consid-
cred public beneaclor. Just give US
i few moro of these kind Of men, and
q guaranty that tho whiskoy-pistol-
prohibition bill shall not become Il law,
80 as TO deprive us Of recruiting our
convict force, and the next thing any
body knows the commercial iron horse
will be snorting through these valleys
and the fieecy staple will bring as
many cents on tho pound at the very
foot of the Blue Ridge as it now does
at the head of navigation.
When this enterprise is completed,
we aie confident that it will bo q sab>
stantlal benefit TO every citizen who
owns any property in the county; and
every one who believes that plain,
simple doctrine that tho prosperity OF
the whole country will add TO his own
should come forward at once and make
his deposit with MIR. G. w. Taylor, the
Treasurer of the A. and F. 3. V. II. II.
Company.

FOR THE SENTINEL

JAS. Il. BURDINE-DEAR BROTHER
Your second letter causes me TO write
again. have read where Christ sent
his disciples out by two's, and 1 find
that they received power over unclean
spirits and all manner of sickness, &C..
but mono over the Church, for wo find
that The Church as ine linen, clean
and white, and as tho Church is no
unclean thing we do not find any
power for the pastor moro than any
other member; for Paul when he
wrote to II minister, wrote to
him as II servant Of Christ, and not as
ruler of tho Church, and as God was
the first and great ruler of tho chill
drcn Of Israel, and Moses tho second
ruler, and Aaron the Spokesman; so
in Christ tho first and great ruler, and
the Church tho second, and tho minis
ter is tho spokesman. l know there
arc more churches than one, but VIC
have power over no other church but
the Baptist, nor has any other Church
power over US; and know that We
have different rules, but they have to
be according to the teachings OF Christ
and know that you have no power
over us il we are law~abiding, but if
we are not, then you have power over
Us. should call Church in disor-
der that did not pass sentence accord~
ing to the testimony OF two or three
good witnesses.
