CHARLESTON'S CHANCE At TIE
MARROW GAUGE.-Ninety-Six letter to
The News and Courier: Charleston is
losing and Augusta is gaining in this
section. This is ali brought about by
the new railroad now being run from
Greenville to Augusta via Ninety-SiX.
This road will he in running order by
June l. 1887, lis far us Ninety-SiX from
the. Augusta end. This road will be
pushed from Greenville across the
mountains to Knoxville. Tenn, and
Augusta will get all the cotton and
other produce of this part of the State
that Charleston should have. Then
when the Newberry and Augusta road
IS completed that will be another black
eve to Charleston. If Charleston will
help the Orangeburg people build a
road to connect with the Atlantic,
Grecnville and Western railroad at
Johnston, on the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta railroad, then they would
have an equal chance with Augusta
for the business done by the Atlantic,
Greenrille and Western railway. II
they examine the map of the State they
will find this Il shorter route by from
so to 60 miles from Charleston to Green
vile than any other. The South Caro-
lima railway would then do big busi-
ness in freight from Orangeburg to
Charleston that otherwise will 60 to
Augusta. Will Charleston take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity and help
Orangeburg build this connecting link
and get their share of the business this
new road will open up, or will she re-
fuse to do anything and let Augusta
get full control of another one of the
most important railroads in the State !:
Charleston surely does not know what
Augusta will gain and she will lose by
the building OF this Atlantic, Green
vile and Western railway.

that that number could be wiped out without

The massacre of 700 Christians in PARKWAY
China is something not pleasant to contem-
plate, especially after contributing year after
year for the purpose of saving the heather
from his blindness. AS a commercial invest
ment this does not pay, and such things are
very discouraging. 1t may be born in mind,
however, that Chinese Christians, as a rule,
are not as good as American Christians. We
do not refer partic ularly to those Christians
at Rock Springs, Wy T., who were so incon-
siderate of the welfare of the Chinese hea then
who had seen fit to locate there, but to the
great body of Christians who are little more
civilized. There are great many things
that the people of the Orient may
learn Of us who have found an
abiding place in the West. 1t appears
from the intelligence now transmitted from
China that they have not ignored the example
set in this country Of the way to deal with
people who do not agree with us. 1t is hor-
ribie thing to commit murder, and so much
more horrible to murder q Christian. It is
different now, for Christian to put China
man out of the way, though it is distressing
to think of one of them going into the un-
known world unprepared. The Chinese, who
are so bigoted as to refuse to assimilate the
