ABBEvlLLE AND ANDERSON.
The Pcess anil Banner says:

u6 1CCS6 QNtt OUWUEE S0So.
The people of Anderson village have
bonded the town for $50, 900 to build the
Savannah Valley railroad, and it will
prove good investment. Why cannot
Abbeville spend $4,000 to secure the
same advantages for which Anderson
pays so dear. With cheap freights at
Greenwood and Anderson, We might just
as we'll go out of business, unless we set
to building the road to Yerdery at once.
We all recollect how Anderson drew our
trade under The favoritism which Doda-
meade extended to that town, and we
will see the same affairs re.inaugurated
as soon as the Savannah Valley railroad
is finished to Anderson, unless the Ver>
derry road is built.
The Press and Banner makes two guess
es at the corporate character of Anderson
in this article, both of which the statute
shows to be incorrect. Anderson is a
city by Act of the Legislature, and
however distasteful the appellation may
be to rival corporations, the fact never
theless exists. Our friend is not more
accurate in speaking of the favoriteism
shown Anderson by Col. Dodameade
while superintendent of the Columbia &
Greenville Railroad. He came as near
running Anderson as he could. The only
advantage that we had over Abbeville
was in being able to run wagon train to
Central, which enabled US to get freights
here little cheaper than Abbeyille.
We have never received any favors here.
All that we have ever got was obtained
by the energy and pluck of our business
men.

our immediate representative, is violent
ly opposed to its passage. There is now
no danger of partisan administration Of
the law, for the Democrats have the
control of the government, and therefore
the threatened danger of Republican
interference, which was so strongly urged
last session, does not exist now. The
opponents urge that the appropriation is
unconstitutional, but they do this against
all precedents. The general government
has heretofore appropriated money to
the work of education among the States.
1t is certainly not more unconstitutional
than many items of local appropriation
in the river and harbor bills which have
repeatedly passed Congress. The appro-
priation has precedent. 1t will serve q
great public purpose and will prove
advantageous to the whole Union, and
especially to the South. 1t should be
passed by all means.

st. Anthony's Fire.

Mr.. w. S. Jones, well-to.do farmer
who lives four miles from Eberton, Ca,
is highly esteemed by all who know him.
He is 10 years old, ard is a conservative
man-is by no means an enthusiast on
any subject, yet he says to reporter:

temporary relief, but soon the same dis
ease or very similar one broke out in
more aggravated form. The doctors gave
it another name and treated me so that
the eruption disappeared for time, but
the effects of the medicine were worse

ash and mercury mixtures is always bad)

These all soon passed away. The med-

been so injured by the use of the potash
mixtures, was rapidly improved by
Swift's Specific, and for the first time in

The Negro Exodus.

COLUMBIA, December 5.-During the
last four days the general passenger
agency of the Columbia and Greenville
Railroad has drawn checks on Little
Rock, Arkansas, for $4,000 to defray the
travelling expenses of South Carolina
negroes who are moving to the State.
Zeb Ward, the largest planter in Arkan-
sas, and by report the wealthiest man in
that State, is the chief engineer of this
negro emigration. The colored labor is
sought for agricultural purposes.
So far 10Y colored people, men, women
and children, have left counties on the
line of the Columbia and Greenville
Railroad for Arkansas. Most of them
are from Laurens and Abbeville counties.
Up to date 1876 additional colored people
have started from Columbia for the same
State. These last are chiefly from Gill
bert Hollow, Lexington County, and
Florence. Some are from the neighbor-
hood of Columbia. Emigration agents
bave been at work here, and the money
to pay the travelling expenses of the
negroes has been put up by those in AR.
kansas who desire to secure their labor.
1t is reported that 400 negroes will
start on the 10th inst. from Columbia,
after having collected here from various
sections, for Southern California. Their
labor is to be contracted for before they
leave and the money for their passage is
to be advanced. Southern California
landowners expect to import 5000 ne
groes from various points in the South.
The railroad authorities here do not
encourage this immigration, maintaining
their local rates of passage and only
reducing the rates at competitive points,
in order to secure the travel when it has
begun.-Dispatch TO Ners and Courier.

seventeen miles on the Pacific and thirty
six on the Atlantic side to be completed
to connect our Pacific with our Atlantic
coast. We also have the right to build
a railway and telegraph line across this
territory, and the President recommends
the completion of this enterprise. The
President recommends the adoption of
more stringent neutrality laws for the
punishment of conspirators against
friendly nations, and an enlargement of
the consular service. In speaking of
the revenues of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, he shows
that the gross revenues from all sources
were s34S,5l9, ,S69.92; the expenditures
were 1920, 0,916,4 ,473, leaving surplus of
57,6OS.99l.92. The total exports were
$780,, ,64s,9s2, and imports sos, ,l23,s55,
leaving balance of trade in our favor
of $2,523,0S7. The President also re.
commends the abolition of all Internal
Revenue taxation, except the tax on
whisky, the effect Of which would be to
continue the present high rate Of taxa
ton upon imports. In this respect the
message is similar to the previous mes
sages of the President. Taken altogeth-

handling public questions, but has
evinced a digni6ed resolution to be the
President of the whole country, as far as
his surroundings would permit. He has
done some things which ought to be
condemned, but taking the whole of his
career as President we say unhesitatingly
that Mr.. Arthur is decidedly the best
President the country has had under the
Republicans, except Abraham Lincoln.
This, however, is not saying great deal

The educational bill before Congress
will probably be disposed of in few
days. 1t has passed the Senate and is
now pending in the House. If it
becomes law it will give over half a
million dollars per annum for eight
years to the public schools of South
Carolina. This sum will be distributed
through every township in the State, and
will give to all of our citizens an oppcr-
tunity to send their children to better
schools and for long period of time
than they now enjoy. 1t would improve
both the material aud the social condi>
tion of the South. There will be
strong opposition to it, however, and it
will hardly become law. Col, Aiken,

THE SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.
The Abbeville Press and Banner says

The work of grading the Savannah
Valley Railroad progresses, and Ander-
son will do her duty nobly. That city
has just voted its bonds for the road in
an additional sum of $25, 900, and the act
is now only waiting ratification by the
General Assembly. This will secure the
completion of the grading of the road
from one end to the other. 1t isreported
that in consequence of the refusal of the
townships, through which it runs, to vote
an appropriation toward the work, that
no depot will be established between
Lowndesville and the village of Ander-
son, a distance of twenty miles, and it is
furthermore said that Anderson has voted
the last SIS, 900 on the express condition
that no depot or stopping place shall be
established between these places. We
have implicit faith in the financial sagaci-
ty of the people of Anderson, and as
such an arrangement would be greatly to
their advantage, we are not surprised at
their action in thus preventing the estab-
fishing of competing stations. If the
people along the line of this road had
contributed to the grading, they would
have had at least two stations on the road
between Lowndesville and Anderson.
On the Augusta aud Knoxville road the
depots are located GS intervals of from
four to eight miles, and the same accom-
modations would have been furnished to
the people along the Savannah Valley
road above townsville, if they had
helped to build it. Of course all the
trade and business which would go to
any little stations that might be estab-
lished would be just so much taken from
Anderson, but as Anderson advances the
money with which to secure the road, we
think it nothing but selfprotection for
Anderson to claim her just rights in the
matter, and thus prevent others from
appropriating the road which she may
build. If she builds the road she is en-
titled to the largest benefit, and this can
be secured only by setting an embargo on
the use of her own road to her own hurt.
Let Anderson stick to this resolution,
and she will not be hurt by the addition.
al subscription of $25,OO0.
Our friend puts the argument for hav-
ing no depots between Anderson and
Lowndesville very strongly. We have
had to pay a great deal more than any
other community, and justice would
accord US the right to the greater part Of
the enjoyment of the road. We have no
doubt, however, that there will be depots
established at SUCH points as may be
willing to subscribe fair sum for their
location. Anderson is not selfish com.
munity, but she wants help to finish
this important railroad.

: The scourge that is now killing so

- The scourge that is now killing 80
many people in Virginia, passed through
franklin County then, now Banks, In
1854 or 1856. The physicians did not
understand the disease, and all efforts to
check it proved failure. We recollect
one old gentlemen living on the Hudson
river, who lost five grand children and
about twenty negroes. He had two
grandsons dead in the house at the same
time. Nothing that the physicians could
do would stop it, and it seemed that the
plantation would soon be depopulated,
until DIR. Doster, of Jefferson, was sent
for. and he prepared a medicine that
soon stopped the dreadful scourge.-
