"a CarOlinian'S" Recent Statement
about Texas.

We are in receipt Of a copy of the Tyler
(Tcxas) Weekly Courier, of March ~,
which publishes a portion OF "A CAROLYN
ian's'' recent communication to the Press
and Banner in reference to Texas. The
editor Of that paper in very emphatic
terms combats the statements by"A Car
olinian," and III this is supported by Mr.
w. \. Roberts, in a communication tc
the Courier. On all questions there is o.
course q diversity of opinion. We can
not think that our correspondent would
willingly misrepresent Texaao or any 9th
err country, and we know that the editor
of the Courier does not want to do "ur
correspondent injustice. In reply to what
that paper says about the heading, we
would state that we added that as being
the sentiment of the whole piece boiled
down to a few lines. "a CarOlinlan' was
mot to blame for the heading, except III 40
far as the communication itself warranted
it,. The editor of tie Courier, no douDt
has often been impressed with the neccs-
sity for a taking head to long pieces.
I A great State like Texas cannot be mucn
hurt by dozens of articles in little coun-
~ papers. Our Texas friends need have
no fears from a stray article from an
anonymous writer. The editor Of the
C1u,fer. thinks Texas the best State III
America. We think Abbeville the gar
den spot of the world. For a little differ
ence OF opinion we need not entertain un-
kind feelings for each other personally.
There is room enough for us all. Let's
smoke tho pipe Of peace, brother.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

Our readers will find in another part OF
the Press and Banner articles on the
above subject, from the G~reenvttle News,
and the anderson Intelligencer, and but
for the fact that the paper contain
ing it was misplaced, we would also give
all editorial from the News and Courier,
discussing the same matter. If the view
taken by Mr.. Earl be the true one, our
people would do well to look into it as
affecting the Greenwood, Augusta, and
Knoxville Railroad. We have no in(or-
nation which would throw additional
light on the matter. and of course the
readers of the Press and Banner are as
competent to make surmises as we are.
The articles referred to furnish to those
interested some flood for thought"

The Blue Ridge Railroad.
Henderson InteHigencer.

The NAM rumors circulating about the
Blue Ridge Railroad are very perplexing,
and frequently excite our citizens with grave
alarm, lest the cOvcrted prize be graspcd
from our section and from this State; II is
we'll known that the Airline Railroad is
figuring to control certain links In the chain
with O view OF blocking any movement for
It's completion. Some weeks ago 1t was posi-
lively announced that this Road had control
OF the charter In North Carolina. but this was
promptly ascertained to be q mistake. Now
the rutnor comes that 1t own the Tennessee
end Of the Road. with all OF the chartered
privileges in that State. We do not believe
this rumor, because 1t would not secure the
Airline against the building Of the Blue
Ridge Road to the Tennessee line, and there
procuring another charter to Knoxville Or
some point on the C~inclnnatiS Southern Road:
The State OF Tennessee wants an outlet, and
wodld cheefully grant a new charter II neces-
sary. and would fnrthe. he willing to help In
the completion OF the r. II IL were built To
the line OF that State. This link would also
do theoAir.Llne 40 good unless 1t can control
the intermediate link in North Carolina. In
purchasing the Tennessee end OF the Road
from three to five hundred thousand dollars
would be necessary, and the prospect OF any
return to the Airline would be too vague
for them to undertake 1t. While 1t is proba'
bio no actual sale has been made, still c
nave Information that influences hostile tG
the Blue Ridge Road are ut work 10 defeat
any possibility Of It's construction, and the
friends Of the enterprise should be arranging
for a consolidation OF oil the charters and
TN onward move to Its completion by a conf
blnation OF the owners OF nll Its links.

Court Mt Pickens.
GPicE.nS Sentinel,


Court for this County conyened on last Mon:
day ut 10 O'Clock A. ~, His Honor Judge
Thomson presiding. The question OF the le-
gality Of the juries was called TO the atten-
ton of the Court by Solicitor COthran, who
iu his lucid and forclble manner, reviewed all
the law In connection with the drawing OF U.
ries, and read certain decisions bearing upon
the question raised. The law as read by MIR.
Cothran requires that the Juries shall not be
drawn longer han twenty days prior TO the
sitting OF the Court, and no stated that the
Jurors then In attendance had been drawn
twenty-six days previous to the assembling OF
the Court, which in his opinion was fatal to
their legality. The Judge then asked for the
opinions of the other MEMBER Of the bar,
when Major Earle stated that he was OF the
same opinion as that OF the Solicitor, that the
juries were illegally drawn. Judge Thomson
decided that the objections raised were good
and that the Juries were illegal "in fact"
said he, they are no jurlcs ut all, for they
were summoned to appear when there was no
Court to be held" The jnries were then dis
charged, His Honor stating 10 them that he
would probably allow them ono days pay.
The Court Of Common Pleas WAS then opened
for the trial OF such civil cases as could be dis
posed OF without u jury. There will be, we
are informed, an extra session In May, when
the criminal business will be disposed OF.
Judge Thomson has won golden opinions
from the bar and the people wherever he has
presided, and Is evidently the right man In
the right place. Solicitor Cothrnn Is us dill
gent and handsome us ever, and Will make
one OF the best Attorney Generals South Car
Olina has ever had.

The Negroes Preparing for the Cam
paign.

In our local columns we give a summa-
ry Of recent workings OF the Radical ring
leaders in Abbeville County. 1t seems
that they have taken new courage and are
preparing to enter into the campaign with
spirit. The reports which we give else
where in the Press and Banner is hear
say, but the facts stated are believed to
be true to the letter. We are sorry to see
the negroes disposed to disturb the quiet
and peace of the County in an effort
which must be truitless so far as any good
to them or to US is concerned. The per-
sonal hatreds between the races which
will be engendercd in a heated campaign
will most likely result in evil to both
races. 1t is folly for the negroes to I'M
dcrtake the control of the affairs Of this
County, and any effort in that direction
will not be for the public welfare. Grant
and his soldiers might possibly carry the
State, but his minions cannot give US that
peace and quiet now enjoyed by both
races in South Carolina. The failure OF
the Republicans to execute the laws in
the past, the recent ~lynchings, and the
present universal disregard of human
life, has well-nigh demoralized our peo-
pie. and in a heated campaign, by the ne
groes against the whites, we shall expect
life to be taken. For instance, if negro,
holding the highest honors of the party,
can openly threaten the life of a white
citizen in case the Court did not punish
him to the extent Of his ideas of justice !;
or at another time use the most offensive
words known in the English language in
reference to our ladies, is it any wonder
if he provoke violence? Is not the ex-
istence Of such provocations and threats
to be regretted? The result may be that
somebody may be shot by somebody.

The Way to Relieve ireland,

The distress continues In Ireland, and
the generous hearted in every section OF
the United States are contributing every
day to the relief of the distressed. In
our opinion, the best way to give relief
permanent relief is to transport a large
number af the poor to this country, where
thew will become useful and profitable
citizens. The young Irishman who comes
to the United States seldom fails 10 make
a competency for himself, and a rule
this class of immigrants are more thrifty
than our own people. We have thou
sands of acres of good land which they
could occupy with advantage to them and
profit to US. We would like to see some
one take the lead in this matter and raise
subscriptions to bring immigrants to Alb
beville county. Mr.. Malcolm Erwin, OF
Saluda, has the respect and confidence Of
our people, and no n could render us
and his fellow-countrymen greater SER
vice than he could in this matter. He has
relations and acquaintances in Ireland
who would take much pleasure in assist
ing their poor deserving n%eighbors to the
benefit Of any contribution that may be
made for their benefit. 1t would be a
profitable investment for our people to
send for some of the better class of the
poor, as it would not he twelve months
before many of them would purchase
small tracts of land. With moro demand
the price would rise, and landowners
would be largely benefited. Let every
landowner respond to this appeal by a
liberal contribution for the purpose above
indicated. The best freshmen in this
county approve of the plan, and believe
with us, that it is the only practicable way
of giving relief to the destitute OF Ire
land. By adopting tits plan we extend
relief to the needy while benefitting our
selves.
