A NEW RAILROAD DEAL.

A big railroad deal took place in New
York last week, whereby the Richmond
and West Point Terminal Co. gained con-
troll of the Richmond and Danville system.
Heretofore the Scott syndicate held con-
trolling interest in the road. Very recent
ly combination of stockholders headed by
General Logan purchased from the Scott
syndicate $4,000 shares of stock in the COM
pany at $3.50 per share, making the total
purchase S., 5,75O,OO0. The whole number of
shares in the company consists of $4,000,
of which the Logan syndicate composed of
Messrs. Logan, Pace and Sully and their
associates) now control large majority.
Referring to this transaction the Richmond
/ Dispatch says:
"The purchase insures the amalgamation
of the stocks of the Richmond and Terminal
Companies, and it is believed that one COM
mon stock will be issued for each. 1t also
guarantees the unificationsof the entire sys-
tenn (2,7OO miles of track yand avoids disin-
tegration, which was feared, and about
which there was some danger if this pur-
chase had not been made. 1t is now hoped
by all our people, and believed by some in
good position to know, that the main office
will be moved back from Washington to
Richmond"
Two of the three gentlemen named in
the syndicate which has recently got con-
troll of this road, viz, Messrs. Logan and
Pace, are citizens of Richmond, and identi-
fed with the prosperity of that city. 1ti
presumed that the system of roads placed
under their control by this last movement
will hereafter be run in the interest of Rich
mond in preference to any other city farther
north. The stock of the Richmond and
Danville sold in 1882 at $5l share. The
recent sale of one half of the entire stock
at $3.50 share is an astonishing advance on
the price of four years ago.

Carolina Conference, and for three years pastor
of the NJ. E. Church, South at this place, but
now a member of the New York East Confer
ence, is now with his family visiting his native
State, and is writing very pleasant letters of his
Southern Journey to the West Haven, Conn.
Budget. In one of his letters, describing his
visit to Yorkville, he says:
Leaving Greenville we next visited Yorkville
a beautiful town in the northern part of Soutl
Carolina of about 1900 inhabitants, very fine
cotton market in the centre of fertile lands, and
able to boast certainly of its weekly newspaper
number of churches-Episcopal, Baptist, Asso:
ciate Reformed Presbyterian, Presbyterian and
Methodist-the last named of which was served
by the writer for three years, and of the cordial
hospitality of her people. Never was visit
more enjoyed than the ten days spent here.

A COLORED REFORNIER.

We have received communication from re-
spectable colored man Of Bethel, in this county,
making an argument in favor OF re-estabEshlng
the whipping-pos as punishment Tor petty Oh
fences, instead of the present mode OF lmprlson-
ment in the county Jail or the penltentlary.
The communication is lengthy ana presents no
new arguments, for which reason we 40 not
print it; though emanating from colored cltl-
zen it is an indication of a growing change III
the sentiment Of the very people for whose
"protection'' the Federal authorities, in the re-
construction period, demanded the obllteratlon
of the "relic of barbarism.'' This demand was
complied with by the Southern States as one OF
the conditions of their re-admission into the
Union, and until the colored people themselves
demand the restoration of the whipping post, 1t
is not probable that one will be erected south OF
Delaware, the only State in the Union in which
it is retained.
DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES.
R.. H. Glenn, Chairman of the York county
Democratic Executive Committee, received yes

In view of the importance of the office OF Fro

decided to ask you to call meeting OF the Goun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee, and SUD-
nit to them the propriety ofordering primary
election for Probate Judge, and on the same day
an election for the six trial justices, in their re-
spective judicial DISTRICTS as proVlded 1or IN the
bill now on it's passage through the General AS
sembIy, in the contingency of its becoming
law.
In conformity with the suggestion contained
in the above letter, county Chairman Glenn has
caleda meeting of the executive committee, to
be held in the Court House on Monday next,
9th instant, at 12 o'clock, NJ, for the purpose OF
taking the necessary steps for ordering the prl-
mary election proposed. The Chairman will

failure to receive his notice, the members are
hereby requested to be promptly present.

THE FARMERS LEGISLATIVE COMMIT
TEE.-The Farmers Convention at its re-
cent meeting in this city authorized the
Executive Committee of that organization
70 appoint committee of three to look after
the legislation which they ask at the hands
of the Legislature. Captain B. r. Tillman,
of Edgefeld, and Messrs. G. w. Shell, Of
Laurens, and +. G.. Fishburne, of Colleton,
were appointed such committee, with the
former as chairman. Captain Tillman has
arrived in the city, but Shell and Fishburne
have declined to serve on the committee on
account of private engagements. AS chair
successors Gen. f. T. Stackhouse, OF Marion,
and Col. M. l.. Donaldson, of Greenville,
but he has not been apprised yet whether
they will serve. The duty of the commit
tee is to cause to be introduced the measures
which the Farmers Convention recon-
mends, and to look after the passage ofsuch
measures. Columbia Register.

In the United States Circuit Court at
Columbia last Saturday morning the hear
ing the case of Mrs. Sally l.. keels against
the Mutual Reserve Life Association, which
was begun Friday, was resumed. Mrs. Keels
brought suit against the insurance company
for $4,000, the insurance upon the life Of
her husband. The insurance company re-
fused to pay the policy upon the ground
that the husband of the plaintiff committed
suicide. The plaintiff admitted that Keels
had killed himself, but claimed that he had
done so when crazy. Messrs. Sloan, Pope
and Shand represented Mrs. Keels, and the
defendants were represented by Mr.. John
T. Seibels. Almost the entire day was con-
sumed with the argument. Tonight the
jury brought in verdict for the plaintiff,
giving her $40, ,2s3-the full amount of the
insurance and the interest from the time it
was due.

He Again Curses the Family and is
Put Under Arrest.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 29.-since last
August Mrs. Garfield, wife of the late
President, has been greatly annoyed at
her country home in Mentor by the re-
ceipt Of letters of advice, ETC., from per-
son signing himself S. A. Bodde. Some
time since a man went TO her house,
coolly walked into the hallway and in
CURED for Mrs. Garfield or her daughter
Mollie. A servant asked him his
name and business and he presented
card bearing the name Of the letter
writer. The fellow was persuaded to
leave the house, and upon going he prom
ised to write no more letters. AS he went,
however, he turned and cursed all the
members OF the household. For some
time no letters were received, but recently
the fello W began writing again. Yesterday
he once more appeared at the Garfield
farm house, and being refused permission
to see Mrs. Garfield ne swore as before.
He was followed from the house and later
placed under arrest at Painesville.
Bodde Is SO years of age and a native OF
Holland. He formerly lived at Fort
Wayne, Ind. After an inquest in lunacy
the Judge decided that Bodde was not OF
sufficiently unsound mind to warrant his
incarceration in an asylum. He was
therefore sent to the county poor house
for safe keeping.

proceedings of the First Week of
the Legislative Session.

Proceedings of the First Week of
the Legislative Session.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 29.-The first week of
the session of the General Assembly has
developed nothing of a startling or sensa-
tional character. The standing COM
mlttees of the House of Representatives
were not annsunced until Friday, and
there was nothing to do therefore be-
yond The intr oduction of bills. The
NUMBER OF those presented thus far is not
as great as has been usual with a new
Legislature. The members of the House
are nearly all fresh from the
people, most of them shrewd politi-
Grams, and probably are loaded
down with new measures. The memorial
OIL the recent Farmers Convention was
presented and referred to the appropriate
committees. Thus far the farmers have
introduced but three bills. One of these
proposes to increase the royalty on phos-
pnates mined in the navigable streams of
the state from 81 to 81 per ton. This is
one or the means proposed for raising
lunds 10 establish the proposed agricul-
turai college. Another bill proposes to
make horizontal reduction of the
salaries OF all the State officers, which are
low enough now in all conscience. A
third farmers bill has been introduced
transferring the Department of AgrIcul-
tare from the management of the General
Assembly to the newly organized Farm
ers" Association. 1t is too early IN the
session to predict what will be the out
come of these measures, but a very gen.
eral impression prevails that the General
Assembly will not be as revolutionary
and reactionary as was at first supposed
or feared.
One OF the first measures passed by the
Senate was bill providing for the ress-
sessment of property In Charleston,
Berkeley and COlleton counties. The bill
Is intended to afford relief to the sufferers
by the earthquake. The assessors are
authorized TO reduce the assessment on
such property as has been damaged. The
bill also extends the time for the payment
OF taxes without penalties in the coun-
ties named.
The Inauguration of Gov. Richardson
Will not occur until Wednesday next.

oyerdraft he found amounted to S1l.6o7 on
note dated Nov. 20, 1885, and signed

balance of $S7 was paid in cash. The

of two of them were changed on the
hooks. The Herbst & Seitz note of $4,000
was changed to j. S. HerDst g. Co. j. s.
Herbst g. Co.'s note OF $4,000 was changed
TO S, Herbst. The next Overdrafts be-
gan about a week after the first had been

It amounted to $2,873 OIL. This was set

Sons for $2,872 and 81 OIL in cash.
week later an overdraft began and con-

entire amount of overdrafts is $33, 245. In
addition to these there are notes amount
ing to s., 516 "a of the two firms, and the
directors books show that only $4,000
of it WAS formally discounted by the
Board of Managers. Cashier Seitz's in
debtedness to the bank amounts to So, 800,
and only a few of his notes appear to
have been discounted by the board.
Emanuel X. Ballinger, director Of the
bank, admitted that although he had been
adirectOr for eleven years he had never
examined the books.
