| ly, looking down at the white SNOW
moment. "FOrpverp | am not
sure that l do. This talk about
the continued re embOdiment OF
souls that is going on now in the
western rs well as tue eastern world
Is something am interested in and
have encouraged. For aught l
know may come again, with a new
name aud u new body, and further
or finish what have begun here.
1t Is said that all that is dead shall
live, and all that lives shall die.
Let me quote Edwin Arnold
moment:
What hath been bIingeth what shall be,
and is,
Worse--better-las for first and first for
last,
The angels in he heavens of gladness reap
Fruits of a holy past.
The devils iu fhe under worlds wear out
Deeds that were wicked in an age gone
by,
Nothing endnres fair virtues waste with
time,
Foul sins grow purged thereby.
Who toiled slave may come anew
prince
For gentle worthiness and merit won
Who ruled king may wander earth in
rags,
For things done and undone.
Only while turns this wheel invisible,
No pause, no peace, no staying place can
be,
Who mounts may fall, who falls may
mount; the spOkes
Go round increasingly.
He finished, aud taking a fresh
grip OH his pOnderous scroll, and
using the handle OF his worn out
broom for a staff made ready to
move on. Then he spoke again
"You, 100, my friend, must die and
live, and live and die. You may
meet me again; but you will have
changed. You will wear new
face, aud Ie known by a new name.
The sunrise comes. Peace be with
you. Au revoiT," and he passed on
out OF my sight forever.

the blacksmith put hot shoe t.

IN with his nostrils several draughts
of smoke that rose from the burn

who bad just taken his departure

blacksmith, she is only working
up an appetite. Strange as it may
appear to you, yet the fact is true
that inhalation into the lungs Of
smoke from horses hoOf when it
is being shOd is the best appetizer
in the world. That man you saw

Publfc Meetings.

The Congressional Committee have ar
nounced that public meetings will be held at
Abbeville next Saturday, and at Greenwood
on Monday-the 18th and Goth instant.
Messrs. Simpson, Johnstone and Lipscomb
are on the rounds, and it is presumed that
they will be here next Saturday. The Con-
gressional election Is not less important than
the county elections, and 1t is hoped that our
people may attend at Abbeville on Saturday
or at Greenwood on Monday. Judge Cothran,
who Is in the race, is Off on circuit performing
the duties of his Office, and will not be able to
be with us on these occasions. We know that
the presence of Judge Cothran at these meet
ings would be much to his private advantage,
bnt this he sacrifices undcr sense OF the sa-
credness Of his public trust. We feel sure,
therefore, that our people will not let his In
terests suffer, because of his devotion to duty.
Judge Cothran cannot 60 upon the hustings
without neglecting his duty or resigning his
office. He cannot resign. To do so, would
deprive the Fourth Circuit Of the Fall term OF
the Court, unless the Governor should call IN
extra session of the Legislature to elect sue
cessor, which would involve an expense OF
several thousand dollars. He will not neglect
his duty to secure advantage to himself In the
race for Congress. Under these circumstances
the absence Of Judge Gotham should speak
more elouuently in his behalf than he could
do were he present in person to speak for
himself.
Judge Cothran's competitors are able and
eloquent speakers, and we trust that our peo'
pie may turn out to hear them.

We regret any omission. We wrote chiefly
from memory. We had forgotten all the
names OF the committee. but friend suggest
ed the names Of that committee, and we
adopted his suggestion. Since our publica-
tioa We learn that Capt. L. w. White was also
on that committee He also recollects one
part Of Judge Wardlaw's speech in 1850. which
we had forgotten. AS the object Of our piece
was to make correct record Of facts as they
occurred, we trust that Colonel Gary and Cap
tain White may favor us with q chapter OF
facts and Incidents Of the old historic hill.
While we would be extremely obliged to any
body who would help us to fill out the his.
tory, 1t might be that Colonel Gary could give
US O piece on the doings OF "Big Tuesday,
and Captain White might add interesting his.
torical facts as to the secession meeting.
He was present that day, and his retentive
memory could fill out what We have omit
ted. We think any one. who can do so.
should furnish facts OF the men and days
which will be memorable in the history OF

Among the judgments from which the Lord
would have people to learn righteousness are
earthquakes. The inhabitants OF this part oi
the earth have just had leSson-Tepeated
once, twice or oftencr every tWenty-four hours
for six or seven days in succession, beginning
the memorable night OF August 81.
The people have had the lesson-are they
learning 1t? Some OF the things which may
and should he learned are:
earth, and Of course for IL reason. II men ac-
count for it as asaccording to the laws Of nature.
1t is only saying that God did IL IN bis own
ways, which are the laws of nature.
9. 1t should impress the people with their
insigniicance and hclplessness. and how sud
den may be the destruction OF their lives
how important that they be ready TO meet
their God.

cannot deliver when Gods judgments make

4. \ most important lesson or the EARTH
quake which the people should learn Is n prnc-
tical one-"ccase to do evil and learn to do
well''-stop at once-rcpent for past sins, max

Son OF man"-his coming will he sudden and
unexpected. Some will be ready. others Will

The Chester, Greenwood and Able
willie Railroad.

There seems to be demand for new rail-
road from Monroe. In North Carolina to At
aanta, Georgia, and We have little doubt that
such road will be built. The chief question
now Is, where shall 1t be located? We learn
that Augusta, Newberry and other strong
corporations are making efforts to divert the
road TO their respective places. While 1t Is
all right and proper for them TO make every
effort possible to get the location Of this I'M
portant railroad located TO sut their best In
terests, 1t would not be creditable to us. II we
s!tidie while they work. There Is much pre-.
ltminary work 10 be done before the actual
throwing of dirt can commence. For In.
stance, the survey Of the line, and the loca.
tion Of the road. for which funds must
he Immediately raised. And also, the right
OF way must be secured. We can Ger.
tainly get that, and We can certainly
get subscriptions. Our town and Green
wood are on line which is almost straight
between Monroe and Atlanta, and If we make
any reasonable effort we can carry Off the
prize.
The road II built, will be flrst-class line
Through the central part OF the country, and
dts advantages to US would be inconceivably
great. Our people must therefore bestir them.
selves. We must show our earnestness. Let
every landowner urge the bringing OF the
road through his sas-a by offering subscrip-
tions and rights Of way. Such course will
infiuence the location Of the road, except
where the subscriptions and rights Of way ore
OF equal value, and then the best and most di.
rect routes will win. The line Of the Chester
Greenwood and Abbeville road as indicated
seems to be most acceptable, and If we do our
whole duty we will get one Of the finest and
most important roads In the South. From
Abbeville 1t is proposed to 60 to Ebert
thence to Athens and Atlanta. The line
along the whole route will be located where
the company are offered the best induce
ments.
Let no people withhold the right OF way
over their lands, and let every man give what
ever he can. We need road running across
the country. But II we fail to get this one we
will never get q through line, unless it should
be possible to finish the Cumberland Gap road
OF which there Is little probability, even II
there should be possibility Of com pleting II
to Abbeville. We need q road across the
country, and by making proper effort at this
,:ime, we can get one. Let us all work togeth
.er for this one time. We will then get road
(which will be better and more important to
.us than the Air Line road is to that section.
