The Greenville times., 1884-04-05


We ere glad Eo be able to saw
TINT Ve are on TIE verge Of the
election for cur town Mavof. with.
cut having had any exhibition Of
feeling such as We recently urged
against. There has been some
evil eaoEGto make an issue, against
Ar. Alexander, Of the fatal ARRAY
that preceded The election IN De-
cember; which effort has appar.
emily, and most properly failed.
There has also been an equally fu-
tile effort to fix upon Mr.. Beurges
the charge Of unnecessary severi-
Il in his administration of Justice
as Mayor. It must be remember
ed that Mr. b. entered Office at a
time in our local history, just af-
ter the epidemic, when there was
much license to check, many char
acters whose presence was a cen.
stant disturbance of law and
order.
We counsel voters to pay no
heed toacampaign ehargesnagainst
either candidate. Both candidates
have retired from the administra-
ton of this Office withoutany open
or direct, or even indirect, charge
against them.

IN Institution Passing Away.

The Natchez has been with
drawn from the yicksburg trade,
and laid mp. All freight received
will be sent blythe John W. Can
non Tuesday, which steamer will
hereafter, and until further notice.
extend her trips above Vieksburg
to Greenville.
For the last forty years and
more, except during the war there
has been a Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday packet TO yicksburg.
Now there is but one, the Tuesday
boat. Such change in the cur
rent of affairs is a subject of CON-
ment, and is traeeable to at least
three causes. to wit: The floods,
which now cover so much of the
territory of these packets, many
OF their regular landings being un.
der water, while others are highly
dangerous to land at. 2. The mail
service having been taken away
from these boats, there is no need
Of their running the year round,
business or no business, as hereto
fore. Aud last, though not least,
the great loss Of treights between
this city and Vicksburg, occasion.
ed by the inducements of the st,
Louis and Cincinnati merchants,
offered for the purchase Of sup
plies from them instead of at New
Orleans, change in trade that il
increasing in proportions every
year. We think the withdrawal Of
these boats is unfortunate, partic
ularly for the commercial interests
of this city. These packets have
been a benefit and a convenience
to the merchants that will be ap
preciated now that they are n.
longer at their service; for the.
will find that what the Anchor
Line is to st. Louis, all and evei
more has been the Vicksbur;
packets to New Orleans.
The Times Democrat has note,
the passing away of what to thu
citizens of the lower river ha'
grown to be regarded quite as al
institution. Yet when the Vale,
is securely protected from oyeI
aow there will be carrying enough
for the boats and the railroads.
The Cannon came up on las
Friday and got 1870 bales Of cotto
and 1900 sacks oil cake. Anon
