NOT so WELL POSTED.

Mr.. Charles H. Wells, writing from
Greenville to the Neags and Courier upon
the railroad development in North and
South Carolina, proposes to give airelia.
sble. and full presentation of theprojected
railroad Enterprises in the two States, and
says:
The condition of railroad affairs:in
the Carolinas just at present is causing
considerable, comment amongst those
Northern capitalists who are interested
ID. Southern industrial development. So
little accurate information has been given
through the public press concerning
what has actually been done toward
building new lines of railroad in North:
and South Carolina that brief and
reliable resume will be read with interest
: There are thirteen important lines.
now under conside by the Carolini-!!
ans, all Of which have been chartered.
They are (1) j the C Charleston, Cumberland
Gap and Chicago; ~ the Midland Rail-
road of South Carolina; (3) the Green
wood, Laurens and Spartanburg; a the
iSeaboard Air Line extension (; (5) the
Shelby and Broad River Railroad; /; (6)
The Denver and Mount Holly; (7) the

vile and Spartanburg (9l the Onslow,
Wilmington and East Carolina; (10)
tha Shelby and Spartanburg (11) the
Western North Carolina extension III

Marion Railroad, and (13) the Palmetto
Railroad.
In addition to these there are scores of
small .spurs," branches" and sacuts- Off

anew short cut to Fayetteville, n. O., by
the Seaboard Air Line. Work on the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Yailroad
from Greensboro to Mount Airy, N. O.,
has been SO steadily carried on for the
past year that this extension can hardly
be classed among the new roads now
under consid Iteration.
Mr.. Wells then goes on TO outline
these enterprises, and gives rosoate views
of their prospects for completion, but in
all of his article which processes to be
written for the purpose of enlightening
the ignorance now existing in this State
upon the subject Of our railroad enter.
prises, he fails to mention or refer to the
Savannah Valley Railroad, which now
has about fifty miles of graded road, and
enough money in hand to complete the
work Of grading the entire length Of tho
road, q distance Of tifty-fve miles, and
runs through a prosperous, but as yet,
undeYeloped territory. At this rate We
are inclined to think Mr.. Wells is not so
weN posted in the railroad enterprises Of
the State after all. The Savannah Val
ley is an assured fact, while many Of the
enterprises Of which Mr.. Wells writes
exist only on paper, and will never be
transferred to the ground. Several of
them have not one dollar of:capital, nor
have they even right, Of way, nor have
they ever been surveyed. Itall does very

wishes to advertise the development Of
the State to leave out roads which are
dug in tho earth, instead of being simply

A SOUTH CAROLINA oAR1oArUK1sT.


The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier says:
.It is pleasant to observe that the last
two numbers of Harper's Weekly have
contained cartoons drawn by @. a. David
of this State. Mr.. David lives in Green
vile, where he is now engaged, ] believe,
in commercial business. He has been
drawing cartoons for the last four or FIVE
years, mainly to entertain his fellow-citi-
zens. remember very we'll caricature
which three summers ago he based on
certain midnight rendezvous" of mine
with McDow, the moonsbiner, in the
Blue Ridge tunnel. The execution was
rough and the likeness of the interview
errather idealized, but the drawing was
bold and the point quite salient. Since
then he has improved greatly and his
work, as the Harper sketches show, is
yielding him distinction. Even those
who have been p.icked by Mr.. David's
pencil will bs glad to know that self
taught South Carolina artist is making
his way upward"
MIR. David has talent TOR Craving
caricatures which is destined to bring
him fame and fortune if he cultivates it.
We congratulate him on his ventures in
Harper, and hope to see him become
rapidly prominent before the country.
His talent gives him no little power in
painting his side of any public question
before the people, and We are satisfied
that through it he may become potent
factor for the advancement of the views
and interests of his section of the country.

INSURANCE. circles in Wisconsin are
considerably sgitated. The Hon. P. l.
Spooner, jr., insurance commissioner o.
that State, has discovered evidence which,
it is claimed, tends to show that about
seventy-five insurance companies are do
ing a surieptitious and illicit business in
the late, and he estimates their collec-
tions the past year at 100000. Among
the companies which he charges with the
transacting OF insurance business in vio-
lation of the law are the Mutual Mill In
surance Company, tSe Illinois Mutual
Insurance Company of Atom, the Com
m lnwealth Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany of Decatur, III +, the Indiana Insur-
ance Company OF Indianapolis, and many
others at the East and South. Insurance
companies doing business without q Ii
cense in Wisconsin escape a tax of per
cent. on their gross earnings and other
considerable exI enses, but their agents,
adiustsrs and other representatives are
liable to fine of $500 each snd other Sc
we're penalties if they are caught.

VERY little of general interest has devel-
oped in the Maxwell case since the arrival
of the criminal at st. Louis. He has had
a number of callers, but the police author
tiles have restricted permits, and allowed
but few per-ons TO zee him. The chief
event yesterday was the retaining by Max
well of John ]. Martin as counsel, who
SAYS when formal action is taken against
his client he will not waive a prelimi-
nary examination. Maxwell is still
in the police holdover, however,
and it has lot yet transpired when
he will be turned over to the sheriff. His
attorney has given him permission to
write for the newspapers, and in all likeli-
hood he will make engagements at once
and thus derive a little revenue. He
claims to have e6000 invested in English
funds, and expects to arrange for the
transfer of some of it here, but just now
he is without dollar and wholly depend.
ent upon the police authorities for every
thing he requires Maxwelrs case is
strange one, and the final result will be
anticipated with interest all over the
country.
