was no part OF a franchise passing
under the sale. The counties by
this same proceeding lost every
dollar Of their money, and the
State reaps a windfall out Of this
great misfortune. Now, where is
the injustice in the counties ask
ing the State to give them what it
never expected to get, and which
arose from direct loss o.thcm
The antithesis cannot be made too
strong. Ifthe Memphis & Charles
ton and the Blue Ridge Roads
were in Charleston there is not a
mar in the State who would OBJ
ject that the relief should extend
to that big-hearted but unfortu-
nate people, whose greatest mis-
fortune has been their unselfish,
uncomplaining liberality.
Now one word rs to the second
objection and I am done. The
counties building these roads are,
of course, greatly benefited more
than any other section, but the
present prosperity Of the town and
county ofSpartanburg has already
been OF great benefit to the State.
Does not the State derive much
revenue from this prosperity?
Much moro, l think, than it does
from the tax on the Air Line Road.
York and Oconee did not aid the
road. Are they not benefited by
it? When it becomes question
OF benefit it will be found that the
little leaven leaveneth the whole.
The time has now come for
South Carolina to be something
above a police court. The object
Of government is higher and noblcr
than simply to collect and pay out
taxes, than to support an insane
asylum and pay penitentiary
guards. One might suppose that
the State had but two classes, lu-
natlcS and CRIMINALS. Already
new beginning has been made.
Education and manufacturing are
being properly encouraged, and
what is needed is a judicious rail
road policy, not born Of timidity
but Of caution, dearly learned by
experience, gentle and timely en-
couragement to local and individ-
ual effort, a sympathetic pat on
the back, premium to thrift and
energy, which does not necessari-
ly mean q raid upon the treasury,
but simply go and SOW, and the
reaping shall be without tithes.

STATE AID TO COUNTIES.
How Shall the County Railroad Debts
be Paid!
SrARTANBURG, July "a.

v ~ CuC HuCSOlOu IL dShcll, - nall
the State help to pay the railroad
debts Of the counties?' In com
menting editorially upon this
query, but two objections ars sug-
gested: First, that it is unconsti-
tutional; and second, that as the
counties who incurred the indebt.
edness are principally benefited,
they should bear the entire burden.
TO be afflicted with burden
some debt is almost as bad as a
pcstilcntial plague or any vista
tion which intiicts loss Of proper
ty. Now if there be any prohibi-
tion in the Constitution which de-
MES to the General Assembly the
right to appropriate money to the
relief Of the people for any cause
whatever | fail to find it. The on
~ inhibition is that there be no
increase Of the public debt with
out popular vote, &c. There is here
no question Of taxation, but the
sole issue is, when the railroads
built by these counties pay their
taxes to the county treasurers is it
competent for the General Assem-
bly, to say to the counties. You
may retain the proportion Of the
taxes due to the State for the pur-
pose Of helping you pay the debts
incurred in creating the property
10 illustrate, suppose Charleston
should be destroyed by a great
conf1agration. The people are
powerless to do anything without
public assistance The CITY Coun-
Gil Of Charleston undertakes to
help them with it's own credit and
burdens the city with large debt.
Would there be anything wrong
or unconstitutional if the General
Assembly should say to the City
Council, 'The State taxes on the i'm
provements made by you may go
to relieve, in part, your indebted
ness Charleston has a debt
somewhat Of this character, and if
your city had no security for it,
but had made the improvements
direct, where would there be any
violation Of the law if the State
should choose to help her pay this
debt and could do so without any
increase Of it's own debt?
Now as to the case in point, what
are the facts?
The up-oountry was without adj
equate railroad facilities; it had
nodirect connection with the West.
Corn and other provisions were at
an enormous high price. The
whole system Of agriculture had
changed; cotton had become the
great staple, all other crops were
neglected. The State was in no
condition then to assist. From
stress Of circumstances it was COM
pelled to abandon it's railroad pol
icy, adopted before the war, of ex-
tending direct credit to such pub
lie enterprises. In this dilemma
certain counties undertake on their

gainesville, Ga, about fifty miles.
Outside capitalists then took hold
of it and completed it. So this
road was built by these counties.
The result is, SO far as this State
is concerned, that Spartanburg,
Greenville and Pickens have built
in this State over 100 miles Of
road running through five counties
and worth at least 81 100000. and
in SO doing have placed an enor-
nous debt upon their people, for
which they have no security what
ever. The Asheville Railroad,
which certainly will be finished at
no distant time, is n creation en-
tirely of two counties in this State
and two in North Carolina-a road
which ultimately will be of the
greatest benefit to the whole State
and to no section more than the
City Of Charleston. The Green
wood Road is being built entirely
by the Counties Of Spartanburg
and Laurens, they being the only
stockholders of consequence. Il
have not information sufficient to
speak authoritatively of other
roads, but l am told that the mar
row guage roads were also built
the same way. Then if the coun-
ties have created this property is
it not fair and just that they
should be entitled to all the reve-
nues in the shape of taxes derived
from it until they are relieved of
their great burdens? The public
know what the railroad policy of
the State and also Of the City of
Charleston was before the war.
Now, if the State and the City OIL
Charleston were able financially to
continue this policy is it not
good one? But they have not been
able to continue it. The plan pro-
posed is the best substitute for 1t
| know of, and it would be good
idea not to restrict the operations
Of the Act, but to make it apply

all sections Of the State bv the
general policy Of giving the coun-
ties the full benefit Of their own
property. Simply from the fact
that it takes nothing from the rev
enues Of the States only in the
prospective, and encourages the
counties to do that which the State
is not able to do. The State has
no ready money to build roads. it's
means will not justify issuing
bonds to do SO, and if it is to have
any system Of internal improve
ments what better one can it find
than the one proposed? 1t requires
no credit from the State, no imme-

some future time may expect from

And Rachel agreed with him.
In telling the story of that terrible
day, when it was believed that he had
been killed, he said that some other
man, battered out Of all shape or rec
ognition by the bursting of shell, had
been mistaken for him.
de had on that occasion advanced n
considerable distance beyond the SPOT
where the she'll had exploded, suppos-
ing that his men were behind him. He
had sprung forward for the purpose of
capturing battery that had been deal
ing death upon their ranks with fright
ful effect, and so eager and determined
was he that he never thought of look
ing round until he was directly under
the muzzles of the enemy's guns; then
he turned, and found not man of his
regiment in sight.
he was captured and sent to the en-
emy's rear, and on the next morning,
with many others, he was sent away
to dismal prison, where he had been
kept through the long and weary
months and years that had since passed
away. He had written several letters,
but it was plainly to be seen they had
been intercepted and DESTROYED. In
fact he had been SO informed on being
set free, for jailer had said to him:
Colonel, you'll surprise your people
when you get home, for not one of your
letters has been suffered 10 90 through"

FOR HIS COUNTRY.

They wondered, in that quiet little
country village, how Edward Dorrance
could leave his family and 90 straight
forward into the midst of deadly bat
tie, and they wondered how Rachel
could let him 60.
Edward was twenty-eight years of
age; a strong, healthy, intelligent,
handsome man; halter by trade, with
steady work, and sure Of good wages.
His wife, Rachel, was two years
younger; and everything as woman
that her husband was as man. /
Before her marriage she had been
the life OF the social circle in which
she moved; no gathering for healthful
amusement could be thought perfect
that had not her for one of its directors.
And their marriage did not remove
them from society.
OF course, they found not so much
time TO devote to lighter affairs; but
the more weighty affairs-especially
everything that had to do with the re-
ligious society with which they wor-
shipped-never suffered because of
their absence.
Their union had been blessed with
two children-a boy and girl-Eddie,
aged five, and little Ella, aged three
two beautiful, bright-faced. golden
haired, laughter-loving children, be-
loved by all.
The war had been going on a year
when Edward Dorrance had fully come
to the conclusion that he ought to 90.
He was a man of deep and strong con-
victions, and when his mind had been
once made up. nothing less than a
stroke Of Providence could turn him
from it.
Rachel" he said to his wife, as
they sat alone late in the evening,
suppose should live TO DO an old
man, what shall tell my children,
and my grandchildren, when they gather
around, and ask me to tell them the
story of a battle? If should tell
them that ! stayed at home, while
others did the fighting, what should /
give as my reasonP All, they would
not ask. They would shrink away,
shamefaced and pitiful; and can fancy
their saying to themselves: "Poor
grandpa! won't ask him what made
him afraid Darling, think how
have talked during the past year; how
! have urged Others to enlist and how
have proclaimed the sacredness of
our cause. And now, my precious, l

"Can you seriously askp / think !

Rachel swallowed the big lump In
her throat; she kept back the rising
tears, and finally, with her arms
around his neck, and her head pillowct
upon his bosom, she hoarsely whis
pered:

The Telephone Used at Sea.

If there were but one wire on the
surface OF the earth, says Alexander
Graham Bell, the inventor of the tele-
phone, in an interview with the Phila-
deiphia Press, man might talk all the
way around the globe. The multitude

come as much resistance as would be
necessary TO send message around
the world. have talked through tho
bodies OF thirty persons standing with
their hands joined.
Among the papers that will read
before the Association for the Advance
ment Of Science is one on new meth
cd OF signalling between vessels at sea.
1t is done by means of the telephone,
and cannot at present foretell what
practical results it may lead to. Sig
nails were successfully exchanged be-
tween two boats in deep water a mile
and quarter apart. In one boat was
a telephone, with one of its two ter mi
-
other trailing in the water over the
stern. The arrangemcn: was the same
in the other boat, except that, instead
OF a telephone. it contains an electric
battery, with an apparatus for inter-
rupting the current very rapidly, az
often as 100 times in a second Every
time the battery was connected with
lp az la i
and when the current was interrupted
eased to be so, and musical note was
produced in the telephone OF the dis
tant boat These results were obtained
with very imperfect apparatus. The
musical note could be produced at
will, at different intervals, and we ar
ranged an alphabet A skillful opera
tor could read a message communi-
Gated in this way with the greatest
case. In connection with this discoy-
cry | may say that the credit OF the dis
covery is not altogether mine. If Prof
Trowbridge, of Harvard College, had
not had the idea OF a galvanometer, in
stead of telephone, and of charging
the water with a dynamo-electric ma
chine in similar way, the idea of ap-
plying the telephone for that purpose
might not have occurred to me. The
Professor thought that in this way ves-
sells might discover their proximity 10
each other in fog. Nearly all vessels
have dynamo-electric machines 10 pro-
duce the electric light. This machine
could be used to charge the water when
the steamer runs into a fog, such as
one always finds off the coast of New
foundland, and would give an electric
signal to any vessel dangerously near
to it.
