A NATURAL HIGHWAY.
Wants Our Narrow Gauge to Go to
Orangeburg.

MERR1TT's BRIDGE, S. G., June
1G.-I would like to have your say-so
about a Railroad from Johnston to
Orangeburg. Will the GreenValc.
Nluety-Six and Johnston Narrow Gauge
extend the line to Orangeburg? There
never was a more perfect natural route
than this one for building a Railroad.
From Edisto to Johnston, a distance OF
l6 or Is miles, not more than 2 or 8
miles would require gradins-the bal
ance of the distance nothing to do but
bed the road. The or 3 miles Of grad
ing would not be heavy work. The
River never gets more than 4 feet out
of The banks. From the river to the
Ninety-Six dirt-road-7 miles, which
could he shortened to G-thcre would be
grading, but not heavy grading. Along
the Ninety-SiX dirt-road for 80 miles
there would be little to do but bed The
road. Two or three miles would cover
all the grading along this road to
Orangeburg. The Road would run
through the best farming country be-
tween North and South Edistos, and
well timbered. l have no doubt the
Townships through which 1t would run,
would raise money enough by taxation
to grade and timber the Road through
the respective Townships. l lare never
yet found a man that would not be WILL
inc to do his part. I have been sur-
veyor for over forty-livc years. and
know all this country, and would take
pleasure in showing an engineer what
the. God Of Nature has done to aid III
this work. The Road would help your
town and our County. Please let me
.o.:. from you. If you think there is
anything in this letter that would be OF
any benefit to you in stirring up the
matter YOU are at liberty to do with 1t
as YOU think best. Respectfully,
w. +. SAWYER.
we thought VIC could make no better
disposition of our friends letter than by
giving it a place in our columns TOR the
information and consideration of our
Railroad men, who are always on the
lookout, for new worlds TO conquer in
that direction. But We would say Tor
the information of the writer above COM
munication, who may not be aware OF
the fact, that the Road to which he al
ludes is being extended to Augusta, the
survey. between that city and Johnston
being about completed, and the grading
coptfacted for and already commenced.
We believe it was the original intention
of the projectors of this line to run from
Johnston to Orangeburg, or to some
point. onsithe other branch of the S. G..
Railroad, or to some point on the coast,
but $liu latter scheme seemed imprac-
l1ir Ps-;-.;z loeet, and an
III, ssase outlet 2toS-samG comnetine
point was necessary to the success OF
the enterprise. If the present survey is
built and successfully operated, as we
believe it will be, the extension of the
line through Mr.. Sawycr's country is
only question of time. And possibly
the time is not far distant. Johnston

DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.

IA certain young man in this city re-
Gently received the following verses from
his favorite girl, who also resides in the
city:]
pve just a word to say to you,
When me you come to see
You know that none in all the world
Is half so dear to me.
'Tis this: would request of you,
That when you come again
To see me in the evening,
You won't stay after ten.
For after ten, as moments fly,
tremble DER and DER,
Lest papa's visage should see
Come peeping at the door.
He's there to execute his threat;
He said he'd surely come,
If e'er you staid so late again,
Aud tell you to go home.
And when down to breakfast go
PAPA will frown at me,
And say, my childthat beau of yours
Is going to hear from me.
This sort of thing will not have;
So, when he comes again,
III just go down and show him out,
If he don't go at ten.''
And so, though your society
Makes heart and soul beat warm,
heave sigh of vast relief
At your retreating form.
You know that you are welcome,
o, best beloved of men!
Many scolding you have caused
By staying sitter ten!

and in order to not offend either he says

day forenoon. The run-of1' resulted in
the derailmcit Of one box and one flat car
whicl, were thrown down an cmbanIment
and badly broken to pieces. Alfred SeiSler,
a service hand, was so badly injured that
he died abou! orc hour after the mlshap.
Another hand, Tobe Richardson, received
several wounds and internal injuries, from
which he will doubtless die. Both these
are colored men. Capt. Rich could not
account for the accident. except the trucks
of the derailed cars were defective in some
way. The track was all right.-NcC0rmick

a polite, good hotel man. AT one Court q
man under the influence Of liquor called
and asked to be shown to q room. The
negro who showed him up to his room
returned and said the man had lain down
on the white counterpanc with his muddy
boots and clothes on. "Old Crit went to
see about it had his boots taken off, the
socks were worse than the boots; but when
the negro had taken the socks off Crit in
supreme disgust ordered both socks and
boots to be put back and let the man rest.

The General Assembly, at its last session,
passed an Act instructing the Comptroller
General "ro investigate and report to the
next session of the General Assembly the
names and condition Of all citizens of this
State who are unable to earn livelihood
by reason Of wounds or other disabilities
incurred while in the service of the State
during the war between the States." In
order to carry out the provisions of this
Act, the Comptroller-General has prepared
blank forms of application and sent the
same to the Clerks of the Court, from whom
they may be obtained, and he iequests
that all citizens of the State embraced
within the provisions of the Act, will as
soon as possible forward to him their
names with all of the information required
on the blank. The applicant must be
citizen Of the State, and must have incurred
the disability while in the service of the
State. lie must file the necessary certif-
Gates to show that he is unable to earn a
livelihood by reason Of physical disability,
and that this disability is the effect of
wounds (or inquiry received while in the
service OF the State. AS the Act provides
for list of such persons only, it will be q
waste of time, resulting only in disappoint-
ment, to any others who may take the
trouble to send their names.
