An Airline from the Mountains to tn
Sea.


Col. J. S. Jordan, Of Phoenix, wrote
an article to the Charleston Neps and
Courier on this contemplated new route.
We quote paragraph /:
That outlet is offered by a rail line
from some point on the Charlotte and
Greenwood Road between Greenwood
and Newberry, to Augusta, and thence,
by river or rail, to the sea. That line
will be built. We can prevent it from
draining the northwestern counties Of
South Carolina into the lap OF Georgia
in but one way, and that one way is
practicable, easy and economical. 1t is
to open rail line from the northern
most of these points through the heart
land county seaO of Edgefeld to point
(say Aiken) on the South Carolina Rail-
way. This will bring our entire north
western section, and OF course the
Northern and Western States as Wei,
forty miles nearer to Charleston than it
now is by any line within our State, and
will make that practicable which other
wise will be impossible, viz: that We
shall be tributary to our own queenly
metropolis rather than to any other.

The 'Possum Policy.

The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
says: The Republicans opened their
campaign at Edgefield last week. Bray
ton, Collins and Paris Simkins made in.
flammatory speeches and labored Wig
orously to arouse the corpse. There
was large number of negroes present
say 500. 1t is thought that the ne
groes are organized in secret societies
and through their churches. The same
state OF affairs exists in Orangeburg
County. The negroes are more active
in this campaign than they have been
since 1876. Webster and his crowd mean
mischief, and it would be we'll for us to
watch them closely. The negroes are
we'll organized, and hold meetings at
their churc' es for political purposes
regularly. let us be as active as they
are. We ca not afford to let them come
into power ain, and the only wa to
prevent it is or the Democracy to 90 to
work.

The Asylum Unloading.

We see it stated that the managers Of

fully fifty subjects who are not danger

which they came, the asylum authori-

less waste of room to keep patients who
are harmless idiots, and it is therefore
thought best to let the poor houses care
for this class when relatives refuse to
help them.

Feeling Hurried.

In our readings we have come across
an excellent piece that we copy for the
benefit of our readers: Probably no
thing tires one so much as feeling hur-
ried. When in the early morning the
days affairs press on ones attention be-
forehand, and there comes the wonder
how in the world everything is
to be accomplished, when every inter-
ruption is received impatiently, and the
clock is watched in distress as its mo-
ments fit past, then the mind tires the
body. We are wrong to drive ourselves
with whip and spur in this way. Each
OF us is promised strength for the day,
and we must not wear ourselves ont by
crowding two days task into one. If
only we can keep cool and calm, not al
lowing ourselves TO be flustered, We
shall be less wearied when we have
reached the eventide. The children may
be fractions, the servants trying, the
friend we love may fail to visit US, the
letter We expect may not arrive, but if
we can preserve our tranquility OF soul,
AMI Of demeanor, We shall get through
everything credha5ly.

P. S.-My subscription for the Ners

the HERALD, if remember right, and
you must do as you choose about send
ing the double paper to me for that
much longer or for half that time.
S.P.
The letter referred to by our highly
'>teemed correspondent was a lengthy
description in hieroglyphic chirography,
IF we remember right" Of pic mic in
Mississippi. Leaving out the question
OF an editors inalienable right to bring
his waste-basket into use. we considered
our space more valuable than to have it
filed with the said matter-only this
and nothing moro. We do ''do as we
choose" in our "double paper" AL
though our now more highly 'steemed
correspondent says he is glad we didn't
publish his letter, he shows that he is
mad all the same-or, he has a curious
way Of expressing his ioy-by ordering
his paper stopped. We won't be mean
enough to retort that if another half
years subscription depends on such let
ters as that under discussion, our now
most highly 'steemed correspondent is
welcome to the change. Oh, no, we
won't even insinuate such thing; for
haven't we always given place in our
columns to 1.-The writer" rs. P" with
his invariable P. S.? But doesn't he get
away with us nicely, though? Such Z
good joke. We have to laugh. Ha. ha,
ha! Ha. ha, ha g., We will tell it before
any body else has chance. He saw by
the HERALD AND News that the New
berry Observer was very much commend
ed as the best local county paper in the
State" and he would take that paper.
Little did we know when casting that
piece of bread upon the waters that it
would return before many days, and on
Mississippi waters at that. Oh! S. P,
thou hast wounded the spirit that loved
thee. But it won't be alwc rs thus. In
the sweet by-and-bye, when thou art
meditating along the banks of the ma
!eStie Mississippi, there will come a
flood OF memories o'er thee, like the
rushing Of many waters, carrying thee
back to thy sunny home, and, like Da-
yid OF old, thou wilt sit thee down and
weep, yea, thou wilt weep, when thon
rememberest all these Things. But, fare
we'll and if forever. still forever, fare
thee-well. Byron.
