lowing result


Shaw Township in our County has
not yet voted; nor have Belton and
Williamston; nor has Aiken. If these
vote for local subscriptions, they will
probably swell the amount to between
$4,000 and $l75,OOO.
We are not aware that the people
of Aiken have as yet made any move
towards voting a local subscription,
since the Charleston conference. We
think that Aiken should now move
forward and place herself in line with
the progressive localities that have
already taken action. We expect
subscription of $4,000 from Aiken,
and we hope her people will proceed
at once to take vote on the question.
In the meantime We presume that
President Hagood will call his Di.
rectors together, and proceed with
that part Of the arrangementin in which
Charleston will take part. Itwould
seem that the local subscriptions have
gone far enough to warrant the put.
ting down of the contemplated mort
gage, and an effort to negotiate enough
of the bonds to commence the con.
struction of the road By September
or October, IN which eventit can be
completed to Edge6eld by January.
We hope everybody concerned will
keep the bail in motion, and that Wig.

We don't know whom tocredit with
the following, bnfit is a truth told in
a backhanded way: "We like to hear
man refuse to take his own paper,
and'all the time sponge on his neigh
bors for-it. We like to hear man
complain when asked to subscribe for
it, that he takes more now than he
car read; and then go round and
borrow HE neighbours, or hang around
the printing Office or come ones store
or place of business until he can read
it. We like to see man run down
his home paper as not worth taking,
and every now and then beg favor
of the editor in the editorial line. We
like to see mechanic or merchant
refuse to advertise in his home paper,
and then try to get share Of the
trade newspaper brings. We like
to see this, it looks economical, thrifty,
progressive and-cheeky."

Triumphant Success Of the Rail-

Let Vigorous Strokes Be Made While
the Iron Is Hot.

We congratulate the friends of the
Caroline, Cumberland Gap and Chi
cago Railroad on the handsome and
hearty vote all along the line in favor
of the local subscriptions. We con-.
gratulate Abbeville, in particular, for
her triumph over such extraordinary
and persistent opposition. We con.
graduate the Edge6eld Townships;
and We congratulate all Edg field that
there is now so fine prospect Of push
ing this new Railroad through our
borders.
At the elections last Saturday the
subscription was voted in all our
Townships by overwhelming majori-
ties. and with very small opposition.
Our people are evidently in earnest,
and, like Edge6eld always is. are
ready to do their full part in the ad-
vancement of all great measures that
make for the public welfare.

present time will show about the fol-

The slrange'Case of Solomon Ault-
man.

The case Of Solomon Aultman, which
was acted on by the Supreme Court
in Columbia last week, is a peculiar
one. At tie June term of Court,
1878, for Edgefeld County. Aultman
and Elijah D. and Milton A. Watson.
all white, were tried for murder. Tie
verdict as to- the two Watsons was
one of acquittal, but Aultman was
found guilty Of manslaughter and re.
commended to mercy. Judge AID
rich, who presided, requested the 80.
licitor to assist him in writing ont the
sentences, and the solicitor, believing
that the criminal law had been amend.
ed as 10 manalaughter, prepared a
sentence of life imprisonment, which
was signed and pronounced by the
Judge. The Court then adjourned
sine he. The error was discovered
too late to be corrected. About a
year ago Mr.. w. S. Monteith, of Co.
lumbia, became interested in the case
and applied for pardon for Aultman,
which was refused. He then moved
for writ of habeas corpus. This was
refused by the Supreme Court, which
rested its decision on the case of Bond,
8 S. c., where it is held that the Su.
preme Court cannot correct an error
of the Circuit Court on haheas corpus
proceedings, but only on appeal. The
appeal was then taken. The question
was, wi!hin what period of time. as
the law stood in 1878, could man
appeal from a criminal sentence.
Counsel for the prisoner contended
that there was nc limit to the time.
The Supreme Ccart has so decided,
its Judgment being that until the stat
ute of 1884 was passed on the sub
ject, requiring the practice in crimi-
nal appeals to conform to the practice
in civil appeals, no limit was pre-.
scribed. The appeal was therefore
rightly taken, although tardy. The
Judgment below was reversed and the
prisoner remanded to Edge6eld for
sentence in conformity with the law.

cries. Our 6lst impression Of their
work is to the effect that learning and
taste, under the control Of reverence,
have achieved a great success. The

true, and many an obscure passage
has been made clear. Such results
are we'll worth the fourteen years Of
labor that PRODUCED them"
