JOHN w. ELLIoTs WILL-The will of John
w. Elliot was filed in the Probate Court some
time ago, but had not been admitted to probate,
and recently action had been taken looking to
its admission to probate. This morning in the
court Judge Hagner directed the suspen-
sion of proceedings looking to the probate, as
at least lead to a careful inquiry before final
action. 1t is understood that one OF the alleged
witnesses to the paper denies that he signed
the paper or ever knew the parties.

The prisoners charged with the lynch

applied to Judge Hudson on last Monday
in Columbia for bail. The State was
represented by Attorney. General Miles,
Solicitor Bonham and Messrs. Gary &
Evans of the Edgefeld bar, while the
accused were represented by Messrs.
Butler, & Simpkins, Sheppard Bros, and
Col. W. T. Gary of Augusta. The State
relied upon the testimony before the
inquest, and afidavits upon which the
arrests were made. while the defense
submitted ninety three afidavits. After
an elaborate argument Judge Hudson
took the papers, and the following day
made an order admitting ten of the
thirty.four prisoners to bail in the sum
of two thousand dollars each, and for the
present refused bail to the others. The

Tobacco Culture.
PERRY, OcoNEE COUNTY, S. C.,

IERH1, OCONEE COUNf1, =. W.,
Nov. 7: 1885.
Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper of the
5th inst. see copy of the action of
the State Board of Agriculture on the
culture of tobacco, which think prom
ises to be stimulant 10 the State to a
very important branch of agriculture. l
have been for some years getting all the
information I could on the cultivation
and curing of tobacco, and this year have
put it to a practical test. I planted
small crop of tobacco, have cultivated,
cut and cured the same, and / can say
am satisfied with the result.
I find in order to succeed a number of
things are necessary. First, the soil must
be selected with reference to the kind of
tobaccos desired to be raised, then the
kind of seeds that produce the kind of
tobacco wanted must be procured, and
while the cultivation is not difficult, it
must be done properly. The greatest
difficulty the farmers will find in crop
of tobacco will be in curing it, so as to
command the highest price, and compete
with others in the markets. 1t is
necessary in order to succeed that the
article made should be of the best quail
ity, and if the Board of Agriculture
carry out their resolutions, it will enable
the farmers to make practical tests of the
matter, and some of them will fail while
most Of them will succeed.
The building of barns suitable for the
curing of tobacco and fitting them up
with Aues of the best kinds are some.
what expensive, and it requires some
capital and good deal of energy to get
the business started, but from the exper.
iment which have made this year, I am
satisfied that it can be made the most
paying crop raised, particularly in this
Piedmont section of our State. We have
the kind of soil best adapted to the cul.
tivation of yellow tobacco, land that is
the kind the most profit is in.) We can
make six to eight hundred pounds of
tobacco on an acre of land that will
average twenty-five cents per pound, and
the cultivation is not more laborious or
expensive than the cultivation of the
same amount of cotton. But the time
when the most labor is required for this
crop is after the other crops are laid by,
and labor is Generally cheap and easy to
be had, and. if properly handled will
certainly pay handsome profits.
- You will confer a great favor on those
entering this branch of agriculture to
give them through the columns of your
valuable paper the benefit of the infor-
nation you get through your exchanges
in regard to the cultivation and curing
of this important crop. w. M. w.

The Northern Methodists held their
annual meeting in New York last week.
They approved the appeal of the Freed
mems Aid Society for quarter of a
million dollars a year for Christian work
among the colored people. Every pastor
of a church. is urged to raise his full
superintendent for this cause, and
churches and members of larger means
are called upon to contribute with
increased liberality to, this work. The
9th anniversary of the Freedmen'a Aid
Society Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church was held. In the afternoon
Bishop John M. Walden, Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, and in the evening Bishop Bow

The Rock Hill Herald says:

Excepting the peace officers we do not
think there is white man in Rock Hill
who carries pistol or an unlawful knife.
The greatest harmony and good will pre-
vail among all our people. This happy
condition of affairs is mainly attributa.
bic to prohibition. While the barrooms
were open here Rocl: Hill was as wild a
town as there was in this country. There
was continual strife, drunken mobs often
ran riot over the town, and the taking of
human life was not at all uncommon.
Prohibition brought change four years
ago and to-day the people of Rock Hill,
of all classes, are as quiet, peaceable,
sober, industrious and prosperous as in
any town in this section.
And yet many thoughtful men fear
that prohibition will not provo beneficial
here. Let US try it.

Some time ago the citizens surrounding
shelton's, ON the G. & G. R. R. petitioned
the Railroad Commission to require the
Railroad to build a suitable depot for
the public accommodation there. The
petition was referred by the Commission
to the Railroad with request that they
would remedy the evil complained of.
Thereupon the Railroad reduced Shell
TOMS to a tag station. The Railroad
Commission investigated the matter,
and made the following decision:
CATER 8 careful consideration of the
information in their possession, the board
decides that the box car sheds there IN
use are insufficient for the business of
that place, and in the judgment of the
Railroad Commissioners it is reasonable
and expedient, in order to promote the
security, convenience and accommoda-
ton of the public, that depot building
or stationhouse and passenger rooms
suitable for the business and trade there
should be erected and placed under a
competent agent"
The Commission then brought suit in
the Courts to enforce their judgment, and
the railroad resisted on the ground that
the Commission had no such power as
they claimed in this matter, and Judge
Hudson, in deciding the case in favor OF
the railroad, said:
Gan examination of the railroad law
of the State, including Section ], ,457,
satisfied me that the Railroad Commits.
sion has not power to compel railroad
company to build depots nor to restrain
the conversion of . regular station into q
flag station. Such changes are so entire.
" within the discretion and control of
the company, that to deprive it of this
power would be to rob the company OF
the control of it's property and destroy its
vitality. -.s ,,u,a
sNo railroad corporation could live if
it were compelled to erect depos and
maintain stations at the discretion and
command of railroad commission.
II ind no such powers conferred upon
tA board of Commissioners In Section
l ,457 of the General Statutes, nor in any
other section of. that chapter. The
board can suggest to a railroad company
to make enlsrgements and improvements
in stations aud stationhouses, and if the
same be not complied with in sixty days
they may take such legal proceedings as
they may deem expedient, and shall have
authority to call upon the attorney
general to institute and conduct such
proceedings. - &C.,
"The powers and duties of the Railroad
Commission are strictly statutory and
ample enough. The Court is not at
liberty to enlarge them, and until the
Legislature shall prescribe an appropriate
mode of legally enforcing these sugges-
tions of the board of Railroad Commis.
sioners this Court is ppwerless to do so
under any of the established powers OF
judgment. 1t is, therefore, ordered, ad-
judged and decided that the complaint be
dismissed" "a
Thus another power has been taken
from the Railroad Commission.
