The situation of the Eastern question
has undergone no material change during
the week. King Milan, of Servia, ha
marched an army across the Bulgarian
frontier at Nissa, his objective point appar
emily being Sofia the capital of Roumelia
but the "powers" bave advised him to hall
for the present, and Prince Alexander OF
Bulgaria is so anxious not to fight that he
has made no attempt to repel the Servian
invasion, protesting his entire readiness to
submit the question whether the union be-
tween Bulgaria and Roumelia shall be
made permanent to the decision OF the
powers. Turkey also refrains from send
ing an army against the Servisns, but has
invited full conference of the powers to
Constantinople to settle the new troubles in
the Balkan provinces.
The second elections In France last Sun
day in districts that failed TO make choice
at the first election have resulted so largely
in favor of the Republicans that the fears
excited by the unexpected successes OF the
royalists at the first election have measure
bly, passed away. The new chamber OF
deputies will comprise about 200 royalists
1884 republicans and radicals. No change
of ministry is therefore expected to result
from the elections.
In Ireland the government has during
the past week been engaged in strenuous

this ''token' money. The addition
OF s2o,OOC,0OO in silver dollars wear.

tends to expel gold, and of course if

inmates the currency, and has already

dence OF the business men in the 50.

arise strong demand for gold abroad
ano our present supply be mcasura-
'ly exhausted, a note of alarm miobt
'e sounded that would in a dav take

THE NARROW GUAGE.

To-day there will be a big meeting
at Butler Church in Edgefeld county
in the interest Of the narrow-gauge
railroad from Augusta to Newberry.
Several Georgia railroad men will
be present and all the leaders Of the
enterprise IN Edgefeld. Newberry
and Prosperity will both be we'll rep
resented and we expect to-day's work
to give IN impetus to the enterprise,
which will not cease until the road is
an assured success.
We are not favorably impressed
with the proposed extension from
Newberry to Chester, but there will be
time enough t. consider that ques
ton hereafter.
What we are decided about, how
ever, is that the road ought to be
built and must be built. from Angus
ta to Newherry, By way of Prospect,
ty. Prosperity is into this thing
with her whole soul and when she
does put her shoulder to The wheel
something has to move.
Newberrv has not said much. nor
will she say much, but convince her
that thing is advantageous or ne
cessary, and without more ado it is
done. Newspapers are as a general
thing fond of building roads, but we
confess that this is the first one we
have ever felt any ardent desire to
construct.
We hope to see full deles cation Of
representative men Of Newberry at
the Edgefeld meeting to day, so that
what is sad and done may be author
ative and meet with the hearty ap-
proval and support of our citizens
generally.
This town and county cannot af-
ford to neglect any enterprise that
promises development in any direc
ton.
Other sections Of the State are on
the alert for railroad connections and
facilities. If we are not alive and SC
tive we may lose our opportunity and
be left to stagnation and decay while
our neighbors 60 in to wealth and in
creased prosperity.
