GREEN POND, WALTERBoRo AND
BRANCIIvILLE RAILROAD.-Ihc Act
passed at the last session of the Lcgisla-
turc Incorporating the Green Pond,
Waltcrboro and Branchville Railroad,
authorized the County Of Collcton to
subscribe $G0,000 for the building of the
road. but required, before these County
bonds should lie issued, that $4,000
should be subscribed by individuals and
other corporations. Collcton County
has come up to the requirements OF law
and subscribed the 100000. and now
books of subscription have been opened
in Brauchvillc, Charleston and several
places in Collcton to raise the $4,000.
The estimated cost Of building the road
will be $4,000 nile, SO that $4,000 will
not only carry it from Green Pond to
Walterboro. but some distance beyond
that point. a colorcd man who owns
80, ,OOO acres ofiand between Walterboro
and Branchville, has agreed tn subscribe
$4,000 to help the construction to the
latter place. AS to what effect the
Railroad will have on Orangeburg Coun-
ty we are not prepared to say. Rail
roads, of course, benefit the country
through which they pass, and all living
on the line will undoubtedly favor the
project. Branchvilie, it seems to us
ought to be interested one way or the
other. and the citizens cf the place ought
to give the matter the serious consider
alton it deserves. The Neus and Couie,
urges the merchants and business men
of Charleston to subscribe, and says
1.-THE road will be great feeder to tho
Savannah Road, and, when completed
TO Branchvillc. will also become so tt
the South Carolina Road" Each share
of stock is put ct $50, ter per cent. tt
be paid IN cash at the time of subscrip
ton, and the rest either in labor, ma
terial, supplies Or money. We heard
citizen Of Bran:hviile say that he woult
subscribe literally, if it is agreed tha
tsthe work OF construction commence
simultaneously ut both ends.

A SAD DEATH.-The Charleston
Sunday Times, Of the Goth instant, says:
The community was startled yestcr-
day morning by the sad intelligence that
Mr.. Robert Ii. Hayne had taken his own
life, in his bedroom in the rear Of the
Office at the South Carolina Railway, at
the southeast corner of Ann and King
streets. On inquiry the report was
found to be true. A little before eight
O'Clock, the colored porter of the office
went to Mr.. Haynes room to carry him
a cup of coffee, as was his usual habit.
On entering. he found Mr.. uayne lying
on the floor, in rool Of blood, with i
bullet hole Ill his right temple. n few
feet from his side lay the cver-rcady
Smith g. Wcsson. The alarm was I'M
medatcly given, and Drs. Lcbby and
Simmons were summoned. and did all in
their power to relieve the unfortunate
man; but to no purpose, as he died about
S.I5 p. NJ. No reason is assigned for
the desperate act. The deceased was
about thirty-siX years old, was the son
of Hon. Isaac llayue. Of this State, and
was held in the highest esteem by the
entire people Of tho city. lie was pay
master for the South Carolina Railway,
and had been in the employ of that road
about ten years, during which time it IS
said that he has enjoyed the full con-
lidencc and esteem Of his employers.
The sympathics Of the community are
with the grief stricken family OF the
deceased"

ga PROPHET HoNORED IN Ills Own
COUNTRY, some people are welded to the
foolish notion that there is no excellence in
anything that does not bear foreign mark.
"Iis distance that lends enchantment to
the view." But we are living i'll apractical
age. Higll-sounding names were once Of
much avail, but they are found now to 0e
empty things. Merit is the guinea stamp
that indicates true worth. Here is RENE
dy that stands the tests of experience. AS
gold grows brighter by usage, so is this med
icinc the more appreciated as it becomes
better known. The large and increasing
sales of Norman's Neutralizing Cordial
effected in the little state of South Carolina,
the home of this wonderful remedy, is the
surest proof that prophet is honored in
his own country.

NJ. B. SIsTRUNK.-A deep gloom
was cast over our community by the an
nouncement of the death of Mr.. NJ. B.
Sistrunk, prominent young citizen Of
Orangeburg, on Monday morning. Mr..
Sistrunk was a young man of excellent
traits, and was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. He was kind and genial
in disposition, faithful in business and
upright in his dealings. He was an ac-
tive member of the fire department and
always took lively and laudable inter-
est in everything pertaining to the pub
lie good. AS an evidence of the conf
dcnce reposed in him, he was, for long
time, Assistant Foreman Of the Elliott
Hook and Ladder Company, and was
also one Of the Board Of Fire Masters.
He had been gradually declining in health
for the past year or two, but continued
at his post Of business with characteristic
energy until it was impossible to bear
up any longer. He was confined to his
bed but a few days when death relieved
him of his sufferiugs. Within the past
few years, father, mother and brother
preceded him to the grave. His funeral
services took place at the Methodist
Church on Tuesday morning before
large congregation, Rev. w. Il. Richard
son officiating. The Elliott and Young
America Fire Companies. the Edisto
Rifles and the Masonic brotherhood
turned out to pay the last tribute of re-
spcct to his memory. His body was
taken to the family burying ground,
about fifteen miles from Orangeburg, for
interment.

AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.-While
a colored woman by the name of Ann
Baxter, living near Rowesville, was on
her way home from Orangeburg, on last
Friday, a negro tramp who was walking
on the Railroad, attempted to commit an
outrage upon her, and treated her most
brutally. In the struggle the woman's
clothes were almost torn off Of her, and
she was robbed of $2.05. 1t happened
that freight train rolled up just at tho
time, and the woman hailing to the en-
glneer, he stopped the train and made for
the scamp who precipitately fled through
the woods and made his escape. He
failed to accomplish his purpose. The
woman then went on to Rowesville in a
sad plight. She did not recognize the
villain, who seemed to be stranger, and,
therefore, his capture will be extremely
doubtful,

An editor in Chicago recently ordered

An editor in Chicago recently ordered
a pair of trousers from the tailor. On
trying them on they proved to be
several inches too long. 1t beng late
on Saturday night the tailor's shop was
closed and the editor took the trousers
to his wife and asked her to cut them OIL
and hem them over. The good lady.
whose dinner had perhaps disagreed with
her, brusQucly refused. The same result
followed IN application to the wile's sis
ter and the eldest daughter. But before
bedtime the wife,. relentlng, took the
pants and, cutting of six inches from the
legs, hcmmed them up nicely and re-
stored them to the closet. Half IN hour
later her daughter, taken with compunc-
ton for her unlilial conduct, took the
trousers and, cutting of six inches, hem
med and replaced them. Finally the
sister-in-law felt the pangs of conscience
and she too performed an additional sur
glcal operation on the garment. When
the editor appeared at breakfast on Sun
day the family thought q Highland chief
tain had arrived.

score of 81 to 81 in favor Of the ''Hender-
aons.', The Barnwell boys were a
clever set and made a very favorable
Impression in Our town. Mr.. RoyaH'
fbeE umpire. was much admired for the
farIand gentlemanly manner in which
he made his decisions. AS the busy
season is about setting in, the time of

will pay us another visit at no distant
day. They will always be welcome.

noon, Osborne Nally, who lives IN
Anderson county, i'll the Brushy Creek
nelgborhood, was at work in a field near
his house with his wlte and ncice: \
heavy storm was coming up and there
were repeated flashes Of lightning. The
cloud was so far off, apparently. that
Mr.. Nally did not abandon work. Sud-
denly there was brilliant flash and he
fell dead upon the ground. His neice
was also knocked down, but revived
sufficiently to rise to her feet again: 1t
ag.s found that one Of Mr.. Nally's shoes
had been torn 10 pieces. but, beside thls,
there was no mark of violence except a
slight discoloratiDn of the skin on one
side of The face. His two companions
were SO shocked, frightened and distress
ssdd. that they could do nothing for some
moments. Help was obtained and the
bodr OF aalhe Infort ate man was renoY-
I'd to the house.
