The Normal Institute for colored tea ch-
ers in this State will be held in Aiken du-
ring the month of July under the super
vision Of Prof. VIM. 7. Rodenbach as
principal. This is Il fine opportunity for
the colored teachers to improve them
selves for the duties that devolve upon
them, and they should take advantage
OF it.
Mr.. NJ. J. Collins, of Charleston, but
recently of Camden, has located in An
derson, and will this week open bakery

AIKEN AND THE RAIL ROAD.

AS will be seen by nm article taken.
4from the Aiken Recorder and pablish-
ed in these columns, that paper speaks
discouragingly Of the chances Of All
,kcn's voting the s per cent. suhrerip-
,tion,to the g. G. G.& G. Ri. ¬her
article taken from the Edgetield Chron-
icle shows that DR.. Croft, n Director. Of
the .rQad at Aiken. is sanguine that the
subscription will be voted. Cur private
information tables with this latter stale
:ment. .We arc afraid our friend of the
Recorder ;has grown Respondent. At
any rate til not possible to predicate up
on newspaper opinions = correct idea Of
the situation. The result Of the cleo
ton here tends to show how erroneous
these may be.
For ourselves we have no fear that
Aiken will refuse to do her part for the
road now when its prospects arc bright
GER than at any time since it's inception
She cannot be so blind TO her own inter-
csts. The grading toward Aiken has
stopped at q point from which it is very
easy to divert the course Of the road to
Montlnorence, a few miles lower down
on the South Carolina Railroad. This
will shorten the distance to be graded,
and lessen the expense because the
route to Montmorency is through o less
broken country than that to Aiken.
The people Of this little village are not
of course able to give rs much as Aiken.
But it is not the policy Of the Road to
20 where it is unwclcomc. Mont
morenci has all the advantages of
position, and climate and soil that
Aiken has as a sanitary resort,
and having the advantages of COM
peting rail roads, it would speedily take
from Aiken its business and it's seekers
after health. Some entcrprising man
would erect there a mammoth hotel to
vie with the Highland Park. Aiken
cannot afford to encounter this risk.
And we think when the time comes she
will align herself with Edgetield and
Abbeyille and Pickens in favor Of the
subscription. Just as soon as the course
of Aiken is determined. 1.-THE Manage
,agement," we are reliably informed will
take immediate steps to begin work.
They are fully alive to the importance
of prompt and energetic action, and
may be relied on to leave unturned no
stone to push the fortunes Of the road.

The Cumberland Gap Railroad is now

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sentinel.
The c., G. Gap & C. Railroad.

Elsewhere We publish an article from the
Edgetield -ddrerfiser. showing n total sub
s~cription thus far of sos 900 from the towns
and townships along the proposed route.
The Adrertiser cmgratulates the friends of
the roud ON t e thus far achieved and asks
Twill Aiken not come forward now p and
again it snys, owe expect Il subscription of
$4,000 from Aiken, and hope the people will
proceed at once to take u vote on the qucs-
ton"
In response, we would answer, that it is mn
extremely doubtful matter whether Aiken
will come forward or not. In fact: Aiken has
placed herself in so peculiar IL position thnt
we are afraid that the road will receive little or
no pecuninry aid from her. The town has
twice voted against the road, consequently
another election cannot be hud for the cor
poration, AS n last resort, an election NAV
be held for Aiken township, bmt as this will
be asking our country friends 10 assume a
bonded Indebtedness which the town people
have twice refused to bear, we hardly think
the farmers will accept tho scheme with
enthusiasm. Besides there is still IL tnrmidu-
BILE influence within the town, that is ns un-
alterably opposed to u bonded debt to-day as
it was last year.
Under these circumstances il would be hard
ly safe to count on a $50, 900 subscription from
Aiken. lift is madewe will DO very much pleas
Oh but until it is made, it had better r OF be in
oludcd in the estimate of probable receipts.
Aiken can always send the largest delega-
''oh w u ITu convention out when It
comes to the raising Of money she generally
assumes an attitude Of mastery inactivity.
What we have written is for the purpose of
preventing un lue expectations concerning
the amount of aid the road will receive from
Aiken.
There is no question but what Aiken would
be greatly benefited by the building of this
road; but as all the arguments have before
been stated in these columns, We will leave
thelr repetition for those more Immediately
Interested in the %pecuniary benefits of this
enterprise than ourselves. We have faithfully
performed our duty to the public in the face
OF bitter opposition, and have nothing more
to add to what has been already advanced.

THE CONVICTs.

There are rumors sfleat that the con-
yicts in the camp of the Savannah Val
icy Rosd have been treated with unnec
fessary severity. and in some cases with
cruelty and harshess. We are inform
ed that two or three weeks ago one of
the convicts was whipped numerically
because he did not inform on a fellow
prisoner who had filed his shacklcs in
an effort to escape. The whipped on
Hict has been unable to do any work
since the whipping, and on Sunday died.
IyIshas demands an investigation. There
ought to be all inquest held and the
whole matter ventilated.
We have no mawkish s~cntimentulity
about this thing !: men who break the
law ought to be punished, and we are
not in any wise disposed to interfere
with their proper discipline and control.
Butin the name of COMMON humanity
We protest against excessive harshness
and cruelty. We are informed tina,
nine convicts, out of one hundred and
twenty have died within five weeks,
If this be true. there is something
wrong in the sanitary arrangements o,
the camp, or in the diet Of the prison.
!ers, or in excessive work and hard treat
ment. We do not want in any way to
hinder or hamper work on this Road
Nor do we think the oficar, md f,,dc
OF the Road have any knowledge Of
these facts. But the air is full of re.
ports concerning them, and we raise q
warning voice that these evils may be
corrected, and If wrong has been done
that it may be punished. And VIC

Our Railroad Prospects.

Notwithstanding the many u%nfavora-
BILE comments and prophecies Of disas.
ter to the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railroad. it's friends and sup
porters have steadfastly maintained that
the road will be built, and in its dark
est hours ncSer dcserted the Ehip.
Their labor and their zeal has now as
snmed tangible and practicable shape in
the various townships along the line, by
subscriptions voted in each township to
the capital stock Of the road. These
subscriptions, with vhat has already
been done. will create n property Of
about $3UODOO, and with this amount,
rs u base of operation. our rail o may
he looked upon. as an accomplished fact.
Already ii is attracting the attention Of
other rail roads enterprises across the
mountains, and WI earn from reliable
authority that the Knoxville. Scvereyille
and Pigeon River railroad Company is
looking forward to 4 connection with
our road ut or near where their road
touches the North Carolina line. This
road will start from Knoxville. Tcnnes-
sec, pass through Knox, Severe and
Cook Counties, Tennessee, intcrsccting
with our line ut al angle Of abont forty
five degrees. This will be a decided
advantage to both roads, rs the Tennes-
see road will, MS soon as VIC have touch
cd them, at once give uS AZ outlet to the
North and Northwest, and ~ line will
give them an outlet to the East.
Charleston being the objective point,
this line will be about one hundred and
thirty miles nearer than by way Of
Chattanooga and Atlanta, the nearest
outlet that Knoxville now has i'm this
direction. Besides shortening the dis
tanco more thar a hundred miles, this
projected road will pass through n sec
ton Of country rich in marble, iron and
timber which, for want Of railroad facil-
tiles, is now almost valuelcSs. The Scot
fish Timber Company Of North Carolina,
who " something like two hundred
thousand acres Of the finest timber
land in America, lying Oh both sides OF
Big Pigeon River and ON the slopes oil
the Great Smokey Range Of Mountains,
is deeply interested in this road and cx-
pcct to invest largely in it's stock. |,
will be remembered that the general
manager representing this company, was
at Jul Charleston meeting and said that
his company would give mstcrial help
to our enterprise. and would take, We be-
