RAILROAD News FROM THE UPPER END
OF THE LINE.-The Shelby Nec Era of last
Wednesday says: The Massachusetts and
Southern Construction Company by its
counsel, McBrayer G. Ryburn, has entered
suit against I. w. Garrett for S25, 900 damage
for refusing to deliver the Cleveland county
bonds according to contract. A suit for 3d.
600 has also been entered against l. w Gar
rett, DR.. F. NJ. Garrett and the Carolina
Central Railroad Company.
Regarding the progress OF the work on the
line, the Shelby Au'ora OF Thursday says:
The Massachusetts, G. Southern Construction
Company are expecting daily the arrival OF
iron at Blacks, S. c., where they will be-
and trestles have not been built and COM
pleted to Shelby and Blacks, and the grad
ing will be finished next month the entire
distance between the two places. 1t re-
quires time and fair weather for grading.
They expected to have the train running to
Shelby by July 4th, but it looks like it will
not reach here in two months. No work
has been done between Blacks and York
Vile, or between Rutherford aid Tenn.

ston expected, he says in a letter published
Ranother column, that the train Would run

In reference to the subscription by Burke
county, n. c., of $4,000 in aid of the
Southern and Western Airline Railroad,
which we understand to be part Of the
Massachusetts and Southern Construction
Company's system, we learn from the same
paper that at a recent meeting of the Com
missioners of the county, they called up the
railroad election case, and invited discus
sion on the subject, both for and against.
Judge Avery made a short but very able
speech, quoting from the very ablest author
ity in the land to show that the intention OF
the law was that a majority should rule, IN
all cases; and insOmuch as there were $40
votes cast for the railroad n only 439
against, they (the commissioners were JUS
tifable in declaring that the measure had
carried. Col. J. q. Bynum spoke two hours,
endeavoring to show that from the result OF
the election the commissioners were not JUS
tifable in declaring that the measure had
carried. After celebrating for t%wenty-four
hours the Commissioners decided the
Chairman voting aye on a tie) to make the
subscription, conditioned on the Company
complying with the terms as set forth in the
notice ordering the election. The point at
issue was that a majority of all the voters
in the county did not vote in favor OF the
subscription.
TIE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The Washington correspondent of the Ne~s
and Courier writes TO hat paper under date
of the 18th:
Representative Hemphill has returned
from a visit to his home, and reports that
his political fences are in a fair state of pres
ervation. He is not over sanguine, as he
enter the field against him. He, as we'll as
other members of the South Carolina dele
CATION, have been criticised, along with the
other members. of the House, who voted
against the proposition to give the House
and Senate employees an additional months
pay at the close of the session, a practice
running through many former Congresses.
The adverse criticism, of course, m
chiefly from the employees interested and a
few local merchants who have given credit
on the assumption that this Congress would
follow the example of its predecessors. Mr..
Hemphill says he could not conscientiously
vote for the proposition for the reason that
he believes a majority of the House en-
ployees were we'll paid for the service they
perform. The piece hands in the folding
room, he says, work harder and are paid
poorer than any other class of employees
about the building. Referring to the pages,
who receive S75 per month, he says they are
overpaid in comparison with the quantity
of labor they have to perform. Many Of
his constituents do not make that much
money in several months. He is willing to
endure all the criticism which his action in
this matter may provoke.
- ~Spartanburg Spartan: Already candi-
dates for the Governors office are spoken
of, and it seems the State is rich in men
who could govern the State. The fact is
there are hundreds of patriots with an in
tense longing to be Governor who are una

him be a man of affairs, one who has the

and who always pays a hundred cents on
the dollar.
