6.The Possession of Railroads
by Others Constitutes them
Necessities for U.s.
Edgeield Advertiser.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Let US, in com
mon with hundreds Of the Saluda
country, congratulate you upon the
strength and value Of your "System
of Internal Improvements for Edge.
field County," published IN the last
issue of your valuable paper. We
consider it the broadest, wisest, most
patriotic thing that has been proposed
for Edge6eld County since the close
of the war. Aud Withal it is plainly
feasible and practical. Push on in
this matter, Messrs. Editors, and never
rest until you see these TWO roads built
through the heart Of Edgefeld for, as
you we'll say, "necer in aHthe history
Of this country, since the sacages be-
gan to receds from our Eastern
shores before the indomltabze tread
Of the pale faces, hare the people Of
Edgefeld had such a favorable op-
portunity to deyciop their fine natu-
rat resources" On with the road
from Newberry to Edge6eld c. H
or to Johnston, if further light proves
the latter place TO be better. Our
property will necessarily Increase in
value as it is brought nearer the cen
tres of trade. \ sand bank within
two miles of q railroad will brig more
money than river bottom land twenty
miles away Every dollar Of iucresse
in the value of property in any portion
Of the County will tighten the general
burden of taxation, and is direct
saving to every taxpayer from one end
to the other.
We must now begin to look an inch
or two beyond our noses, if We intend
to keep up with the tunes, and main
tain our present position, or improve
it. And We must not expect to make
nooey without spending money. 1t
would be as wise to refuse to buy fer.
tilizers because one is paying nigh
rent, as to refuse TO build these roads
because they would cost US little
money. Railroads are the fertilizers
Of countries. They stimulate, in
prove and increase productions and
values, and their possession by others
constitutes them necessities for US.
Messrs. Editors, We reiterate your
words: Let Us get out this :rtr'e'
the necessary charters for theSt t'ro
ToudS, and then let the County SUBJ
scribe in bonds enough to grade them
and put on the cross.ttes. The bal
snce of the capital will cowe from
abroad. The county will Own the
stock, and with it may be able eveat-
tual!y to pay off these bonds. So
there will be comparatively little to
pay out, nothing 10 lose, and every
thing to gain Let US think about
this great matter, and see if it is
worth trial.
Yours respectfully,
HEAp.LIGHT.

A big strike among the laborers
employed in handling cotton in
New Orleans began the 9th. New
hands were employed. The old
hands attacked these and tried to
prevent their working. Serious
rioting and disorder resulted ; there
was some shooting; the Mayor
found it impossible to preserve Or
der; he therefore called on acting
Governor McEnery, who placed the
city under martial law the 18th.

The South Carolina Military
Academy.

Editoria, from the News and Courier.
Foremost among the educational
institutions of which South Carolina
was justly proud in the olden times.
and the only one which has not yet
been reopened, stands the South Caro-
Ina Military Academy, more famll
iary known as the Citadel Academy.
Is it not tine that active steps were
taken to restore to our people this
most excellent Academy, which from
the practical! character Of its educa.
ton is sorely needed at present?
Soon after the States restoration 10
1877 the Citadel Graduates aud ex
Cadets and their friends began t.
move for its opening. The Citadel
was forcibly held by the United States
Government, the last piece of cap
tured property, we believe, in the
South held Vi ct arpeiS, without the
sanction Of any law This rendered
it necessary to apply to Congress and
the War Department to secure Its re-
turn. After the removal of the gar.
rison from Charleston the Hayes Ad-
ministration consented to surrender
the building, but required waiver of
the claim for rent justly due. But as
the State could not then afford to sup
port the Academy, and as the claim
for rent was just, the offer Of the
: Government was declined. Now the
conduct of the claim is in such
hands that its success is highly prob,
able. and it is believed that when the
State is ready to reopen the Academy
the building can be had from the
present Federal Administration, com
nitted as it is to give National aid to
education. This can be done, it is
believed, op such terms as vii! not
compromise the claim for rent. The
passage of claims through Congress,
however is slow. We need the edu-
cation for our sons now. They will
not stop growing while Congress
waits. Therefore, should not the leg
islature take the matter in hand and
at its next session make tie proper
appropriation? If the State cannot
we'll afford the outlay, let it treat the
amount appropriated as an advance to
be returned out Of the money received
from the United States Government
for rent.
1t is proposed that tie Academy
shall be conducted as in the PAST, ed.
ucsting as many young men from all
parts Of the State as possible, without
any charge. Pay cadets shall be re-
duced to so low figure as to place the
advantages of the Academy in reach
of young men of moderate means. 1t
was formerly conducted as school
for the poor, not as pet Institution
for those in affluent circumstances.
The poor will be made rich by the
education given, and b. their trained
Intelligence will repay thousand fold
to the State the money spent upon
them.
At the last session Of the Legisla'
ture notice was given of the intention
to press tie claims Of the Academy on
that body at the ensuing session, and
we trust that this will be done, and so
vigorously pressed that by April l,
1882, We may see this grand old in
stitute restored to the State, to con-
tinue to turn out men as worthy to
serve and advance the State as can
now be pointed to with pride as grad
yates Of the South Carolina Military
Academy.

The Georgia Legislature refuses
to make a contribution to either
the Yorktown Centennial or the

Georgia Constitution and we are
inclined to believe that it is O. wise
provision thus to prevent legisla-
lures frc;u voting away the States

HORRIBLE MASSACRE.
The Fiji Tines Of April 30th has an account of
a horrible massacre perpetrated at Tpitawa, one
OF the Tno Islands. The natives had recently
proseiytized by the efforts Of a Konaka mission
ary named Kabue. who induced them to give up
their weapons. subsequently the people of the
southern portion of the island became dis
satisfied at the constant acquisitions made
upon them for Cobra and apostalized. Kabue
preached q crusade against them, armed his fol-
lowers and led them in person. An indiscrimi-
nate slaughter ensued, over 1,OO0 men. women
and children being massacred. The bodies were
collected in pile and burned. Kabue Is being
sent to Honolulu to answer for the crime.
