The Railroad Bill.

Mr. Z. b. Murray, the Editor of the
Anderson IETELLIGENCER, is being very
severely criticised by the press Of the
State for advocating at the recent session
Of the Legislature the amendment to the
Railroad law of 1882. Mr.. Murray was
one of the strongest supporters OF the
law Of 1882, and now his change Of posi-.
ton, in favoring tho amendment, which
practically amounts to repeal Of the
law, it is grayely charged, has been
caused by unworthy motives. Now, this
is all wrong, aud no paper in the State
should know it better than the GrecnrWe
News. 1t is o pity that this paper and
its followers can not employ their vacant
space and idle moments in more proii-
table and decent manner than in impnt-
ing impure motives to gentleman sim
ply because he happens to change his
opinion on a certain subject and chanccs
not to think as they DO Mr.. Murray
has always been known, where known at
all, rs an able and jealous worker in tho
Legislature, having always n first consid-
GRAFTON for tie interest of the people,
and lie had right to change his mind if
he saw proper. and no doubt he has the
best Of reasons for acting as he has. We
do not imagine for moment that Mr..
Murray is in need of our assistance in
THE little war Of words, and it is not
through any such motive that we have
written the above. But our object is to
enter our protest as n journalist against
all such unfair, and we might add,
ridiculous criticism. AS if man didn't
have the right to change his mind The
man who never changes his opinions is
indeed TO be pitied he is no. worth the
name of man. 1t ia the fool who
clings to his opinions right or wrong; it
is the wise man who changes his opinions
when ne discover, that iie Is il; The =-onS
and the light of reason points out to him
the righ: course. The dsy should be
passed when a man is to be criticised for
holding opinions which be believes to be
correct. This is free country and an
enlightened age and men should be al.
lowed to have their own views without
beiog criticised, tho GreenviNe Neu,'
opinion to the contrary Notwithstanding.

Col. Aiken has reintroduced his bill

Col. Aiken has reintroduced his bill
to make the Department of Agriculture
q Cabinet Department Of the govern
ment, presided over by q Secretary with
salary of eight thousand dollars, and
merging the present Department into the
new one. II lie can by the change
eradicate some of the humbugs from tho
present institution, he will accomplish
great end for the Agriculture Of the
country. If more money were spent in
useful experiment and the dissemination
of the results in an accurate manner, and
less money wasted in purchasing ordina-
nv, aud in some instances worthless eced,
and distributing them as something ex.
traordinary, the interest and faith of the
intelligent farmer would be greatly pro.
moted. The results of skillGul expert
mental farming, and the introduction Of
genuinely excellent seed, With improved
modes OF culture that have been practi.
cally and thoroughly teated, are the
needs of the progressive agricultural TO-
day. Experiments are expensive, and
individuals generally cannot go to the
expense of making them Oh the uncer'
tainties Of the result The National
Department of Agricu ture should give
special prominence to the making OF
Agricultural experiments and formulat-
ing the results fully and accurately to
the people. When the new department
is created, we trust some such feature M
we have referred to will be made prom.
inent part of it's work.

The Georgia Commission.

The general sentiment of the State
since the recent discussion by President
Raoul, of the Central, and Major Camp.
bell Wallace, seems to be favorable to q
modification of the law creating the Rail.
road Commission. It is proposed that
the extraordinary powers vested in the
Commission be abolished, aud that It be
constituted board of arbitration or a
court of appeals to which complaints can
be carried. It 10 contended that the rail.

can be looked for until the companies
are enabled to manage their property o.

General Dibble, the Representative
from the first District in th!3 State, mas
introduced several bills looking TO the
financial interests of his constituents.
One, to pay the State two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for damages and
rent Of the Citadel buildings, and another
to appropriate seven.y-f7e thousand
dollar to rebuild the Custom House
wharves in Charleston. Also, petition
from the Charleston Chamber of Com
merce asking an immediate appropriation
of $755,000 to continue the work upon
the Jetties in Charleston harbor. It was
shown that this work ceased November
%, 1883, for want of funds, and the
amount asked for had been recommended
by the chief of engineers. At present
there is seventeen and half feet Of
water on the bar at mean high tide, and
the completion of the Jettes will increase
this to twenty five feet. General Dibble
evidently believes that "the old flag aud
an appropriation" are tho best salve for
disagreements between representative
and his constituents. The measures he
proposes arc, however, meritorious, and
should he secure their passage he will be
entitled to the gratitude of his people
aud of the entiro State. He will have
the assistance OF our entire delegation,
we presume, aud we trust that the Citadel
claim will succeed, in any event. It ia
a debt which the General Government has
owed this State, in part, ever since the
war, and The whole of it since 1876. The
jetties for Charleston are also work OF
the highest Importance, and ought to be
rapidly completed. The Custom House
wharves likewise would be very desirable.
The greatest difficulty which General
Dibble will encounter is, not that his
measures arc unreasonable. but that there
are too many other Congressman who
wish to please their constituents in the
same manner.

The Greenville News, In response to q

says that d.. Mauldin is the member
from Greenville who voted as Mr.. Murray
did on tho Railroad Law. It admits that
it will have to explain why it has attack

Mauldin for doing tho aame thing. The
Ne,9s says:
"As far as DR.. Mauldin Is concerned, we
do not doubt that at the proper time he
will ,vindicate himself; It Ia probable
that events will vindicate him without
any trouble on his part. For the Ne.o,,

The New Orleans Exposition-The Cot.
ton Caterpillar.

COLUMBIA, January 12.-The State
board Of agriculture will soon have a
meeting at which it is expected that
plans for the collection and arrangement
Of exhibits for tho New Orleans Ecposi-
tion next Fall will be perfected. The
Commissioner Of Agriculture denires to
effect some sort Of organization among
the progressive people Of each county, as
O preliminary step to collecting speci-
mems for the exhibit. His idea 10 to
have the exhibit from each county dis.
played separately and in the name Of tho
State collection 30 as to stimulate D
generous rivalry among the counties for
the best exhibit. He expects liberal aid
from the commercial organizations and
public.spirited citizens of Charleston,
Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg and
other cities and to1no. Charleston and
Columbia are already moving in the mat.
ter. If the support given the depart.
ment in the collection Of exhibits be
general, the Commissioner thinks that
the appropriation of $4,000 made by
the Legislature will suffice to furnish q
fine and creditable State exhibit.
1t haS lohg beon an open question now
cotton caterpillars could be 80 quickly
scattered over great area. Prof. Riley,
the entomclogist of the National depart.
ment of agriculture, has inclined TO the
belief that favorable winds blow the
moths over tho country. One female
caterpillar can populate q county With
the cotton pests. Mr.. Thomas E. Rich
ardson, OF Wedgefeld, Sumter County,
had his attention drawn to the subject
last Fall by seeing cotton caterpil1ars
carried along by train on the South
Carolina Railway. He has been since
investigating the subject, aud has come
to the conclusion that the cotton worms
are largely spread by the trips of the
railroad trains. He has marked, for an
example, on map Of Texas, the coun.
ties In which the caterpillars appeared
last Fall. The counties are scattered all
about the State, and of the large mum.
ber visited by caterpillars only two we're
of the line of the railroads. The i'm.
mense tracts not touched by railways
were exempt. Mr. Richardson is going
to make report of his Investigations to
Commissioner Butler, who will forward
it to the natioual department at Wash.

story which is all The better for being
true: Two men stood at the same table
ia a large factory in Philadelphia, work
ing at the same trade Having an hour
for their incoming every day, each Under
took to use it in accomplishing definite
purpose each persevcred for about the
same number of months, aud each won
success at last One of these two me-
chanics used bis daily leisure hour in
working out the invention of machine
for saving block Of wood into almost
any desired shape. When his invention
was complete, he sold the patent for u
fortune, changed hi. Uorkman's apron
for broadcloth suit, and moved out of
tenement-h house, into q brown stone
mansion. The o.her man-what did he
do? Well, he spent an hour each day
during most Of a year in the very diff
cult undertaking Of teaching little dog
TO stand on his hind feet and dance q
jig while he played the tune. AT last
accounts he was working ten hours day
at the same trade end at his Old wages.

mines, says the Walla Journal. At

men at work, seven of whom were
employed in splitting and trimming
the mineral and preparing it for
shipment. About 800 pounds were
on hand, much of it of large size,
such as sx12 and ixl0 inches. This
brings IS to 81 pound. Mr.. Gose
