been i'll for some time past.
The freight and passenger traffic on
the road is increasing to such an enor-

amount of rolling stock to supply the
demands.

Another Rape Case.

Constable K. o. Stevens Tuesday af-
ternoon arrested colored man named
George Felix, charged with the terrible
crime of rape, alleged to have been COM
mitted last Friday. The girl is between
Ii and IA years Of age, and lives with
her mother on Crockett and Walnut
street, Third ward. The mother learned
OF the crime upon her daughter, but was
afraid to tell her husband, who works
out on Government hill, because, as she
says, Felix threatened both of them, the
girl and her mother, with death, If they
told. The father, however, found 1t out
and hence the charge preferred against
Felix in Justice Barnes court.

Mysterious Proceedings.

Jean Courette, French peddler, lives
In the old house on the Sierra place, To-
Gated twelve miles from this city on the
Corpus Christi road. On Friday night
he was alone in the house, and about ten
o'clock three men came to the house,
cooked their pistols and tried to shoot
him through the window. 1t was q damp
night, and probably owing to this Gauss,
the pistols missed fire. They tried sew
ersl times to shoot, failed, and remained
around the house for several hours, and
then they decamped. No cause is
known, but it is expected that robbery
was the object Of the mysterious con-
duct.
Courette's place is near that Of L. g
Butler, who was tied up, beaten, and
robbed some time ago.

Charles J. DeWood, a North Texas
miner and prospector, was In the city
Tuesday with several fine specimens Of
silver ore, gold, quartz and copper. He
says he found them within 1S6 miles Of
Austin, but refuses to state just where,
as he wants to get hold Of the property
he found the ore upon, first. He says
there is as fine kaolin earth near New
Braunfels as anywhere In the world, and
certainly the specimen of this indispen-
sable article ofcommerce shown LIGHT

No News.

No further news Of the burglars of
Dullnig's safe have been learned. 1t is
now thought that there were four or
five In the gang and that two at least
have gone away with the cash.
Another theory advanced Is that it has
been done by parties living In the city,
who are apparently we'll connected, 40

Free Schools.

We have a free school system; hut
have VIC any free schools? The 2-mill
constitutional tax and the poll tax
are both applied to the free schools
$50 calleD. These taxes amount to
nearly half II million year. The
free schools arc kept open an aver
age Of three and 81 half months in q
year. With all this expenditure of
money, in addition to improved
text books and other school applian-
ccs, primary education is not as good
as ii was before the war--the bows
and girls are not as we'll taught, tax
ing the whole State over. We seri-
ously doubt whether the free school
system has been an advantage to the
State. If the population of the
State were all white, or mostly white,
it might be different. In that case
those who pay the school tax would
get the benefit of it. But the pro-
portion of pupils is in about the IA
ito Of 8 colored to white.
One bad effect of the free school
system has been to lessen inditidu
al interest iii schools. Major Ham
mond, III that portion of a speech
v ..ich is quoted on our first page,
gives q striking proof of this, where
he states that i'll 1850 private indi-
viduals paid 1915 to every dollar
paid by the State for popular educa-
ton, whereas now private individuals
give only 35 cents to every dollar the
State gives. And the evil is still
more strikingly shown in the state
ment that in 1850 the expenditure
Estate and individually for education
was rs cents per head, whereas now
it IS only 63. And all this in the face
OF the fact that, lie says, we are rich
er now than we were in 1850. The
truth is, State interference has blum !
,ed the sense of parental RESPONSE
oIlity and crippled private ENTERPRISE,
Wore than that; it has driven off ma

James Madison Wells, q famo,

James Madison Wells, famous
republican politician of the recon
struction era in Louisiana, has be-
come old, poor and blind. His for
mer political lapses have now return
ed to plague him with their malodo-
rohs memory. He was native
Sontherner, but in the mad hunt for
gain lent himself to methods so
questionable as to destroy alike self
respect, his we'll considered methods
for tho aggregation of personal pelf,
his standing in evil cohorts among
whom he had aligned himself, and
What wds more disastrous to him,
the "thirty pieces of silver" for whose
possession he had risked all that a
man should hold dear.

CoKEsBURY, S. c., Feb. 6, 1886.
Editors of Messenger: Mr.. r.. b.
Tillmans letter shat was recently
published in the News and Courier,
has sprung up quite sensation not
only among the farmers over the
State, but among all business capac-
tiles. After reading the letter over
carefully, | was impressed with it's
contents, touching many points of
interest more particularly to the far
mera, that they should look after
their welfare, that they have SO long
slept over. 1t Is true that this class
of people, as body, have bit little
confidence in their own ranks. Why
is this the case? Is it for the want
of brains? Echo answer no. Is it
for the want Of numbers? That
can't be any excuse, for the census
book will chow that about three
fourths OF the taxpayers are far-
Inera, and they out number coy bu5-
mess claas of people in the State.

The GrcenVille Fire.

The Greenville News denies that
the firemen were drunk at the burn
ing of the Cleveland Block in that
city, two weeks ago, and demands
the authority of the SEtrINE1 for such
assertions.
The editor of this journal is absent
this Week, and as the quill driver pro
tenn of the SENTINEL knows nothing
about it, the subject will be adjourned
over until the return of the editor.
We trust, however, that the News is
right, and that the SENTINEL has been
inisinformed. The present writer is
personally acquainted with number
OF the Greenville Firemen and knows
them to be lot of noble fellows, and
sober and temperate in their habits.

Road Law Again,

Allablebodied male citizens between
the age Of 16 and SO years are liable
TO road duty twelve days in zach
year. A communication tax of three
dollars exempts one from road duty
for the term o. one year.
1t is the duty of the County Com
missioners to appoint Township Su-
pervisors, and see that they discharge
their duties. Supervisors appoint
Overseers and assign the hands in
proportion to the work, which, in his
Judgment, will be necessary during
the year.
In opening new roads tho Super
visor can order an Overseer with his
squad to any portion Of the township,
Preachers actually in charge of a
church, teachers and pupils attend
ing school are exempt.
A physiciau's certificate of disabil-
fty does not excuse any one, unless
the Oversoer agrees with the physi-
clan. If the Overseer thinks man
is able, he has him warned. If the
hand does not agree with the Over
seer, he refuses to work. Then it is
the duty of the Overseer to hand in
the delinquent's name to the Trial
Justice, who will pass Judgment on
him, or at the defendonts request,
will empanel jury to discharge that
duty. A Verdict of acquittal will ex-
cuse the defendant from working
only at the time for which he was
Warned. He may recover from his
disability by the next time the roads
are to be worked. The warner is re.
qmred to give personal notice to
each hand twelve hours before the
time for working,
The Overseer can allow the warner
reasonable number of days exemp-
ton from work, in lieu of his trouble
or service as such warmer liz most
cases one day would be sufi cient,) on
he catt employ some one not liable TO
work, to discharge this duty. The
warner must make return to the Ov-
erseer that he has legally warned all |
the hands.

Up Country Babies,

It's hard to understand. The up
per part of the State, the hill couh
try, the Piedmont Paradise, a land
always flowing with milk ard honey
and oceasionly with peach and moon
shine corn, has long been considered
headquarters for health, happiness
and Christian virtues. But some
things out of gear, for the lamenta-
tions of the newspapers in those
parts aTe as grievously melancholy
and empty as were the recent Bpld
Mountain disturbance. They are
continually shying stones and hard
words at their low land brethren and
no donation of tahy and soothing
syrup comfort can console them.
From this safe distance it seems that
the affection is not serious. Com
munities, like children, suffer " tn
infantile diseases and those disgrun-
tied brethren are cutting the eye
teeth of civilization and cannot be
otherwise than ndtighty. They are
a good although a primitive folk, and
when they get out of swaddling
clothes and put on their first breeth-
es md go to see an occasional circus
and ride as iar as Augusta on the
new railways now pushing their lines
into theit sequestered valleys they
will put away childish thoughts ahd
things, desolve their mutual admi-
ration society and learn that the
Democratic party in South Carolina
is not, as they now think, bounded
on the North by North Carolina, on
the East by Broad River, on the
South by the State of Lexington
Edgefeld County and Shippers Ga,
and on the West by the Savannah
River. Until their horizons be broad
ened let us be patient. The uglicst
children often make the handsomest
adults.
The above is from the Barnwcll
People, edited by our newly discover
ed great grand father, Mr.. John w.
Holmes. We guess he is about one
hundred and forty years old, and we
know that his heart over flows with
the milk Of human kindness.
