Don't Misunderstood Us.

Because we spoke kindly of Mr.. Schofield
last week, did anybody understand US tc
abate one particle Of our opposition to tax
for the Cumberland Gap? We hope not. III
the same piece we distinctly said we had moi
changed our mind. There is absolutely and
positively no reason known to us upon
which to base the slightest shadow of belie
that the road will ever reach Abbeville.:

Glorious news from the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern railroad reached Athens this
week. The road Is nearly graded from Mon,
roe n. c. to Chester, S. G., and II is expected
that the work Of track laying will commence.
The iron has been bought and paid for to
equip the graded portion of the line rs also
the rolling stock. In q few days dirt Will be
broken on the: Clinton, sc, section, after
which will come Greenwood, Abbcvillc. Elbcr-
ton and Athens The most responsible rail-
road contractors in the South arc working
this road and large forces OF hands are employ
ed. 1t is being graded very rapidly. 1t Is not
probable that dirt Will be broken around Ath-
ems before next spring, as Gen. H0ke has de-
ciQed it best 10 throw his entire forces on the
northern end of tho line and complete the
railroad as he progresses. In less than two
years it will he graded and operated the entire
distance. This railroad has now over Il half
million dollars to its credit In the bank, has
paid every dollar Of its Indebtedness thus far.
and has not sold IL bond or asked one dollar
from the subscribers along the route. This
road is as certain tobe buiit a. the old reliable
Georgia train will roll into Athens today.
II is back cd by business men, who are pro-
cecuug OH business principles.

sleepers on the Abbeville Banch

It has been suggested that If faster sched-
ule cannot be arranged for the Abbeville
Branch road that we petition the railroad
authorities for sleeper. Sleeping cars are
now put upon nearly oil the roads which
make long runs, and as no road runs longer
to make ten miles, than does the Abbeville
Branch, 1t is but just that sleepers be put
on the road. The road which has heretofore
been so obliging. we are sure. will not deny
sleeper when the petition is presented.

Whenever an itinerant vender Of
wares enters Ceredo the local au-
thoIities get after him and compel
him to pay into the treasury of the
town a tax for the privilege of sell
ling within the corporation limits.
This is right. Itprotects our home
merchants who are with us always,
within our jurisdiction, subject to
our laws, contributing to the wealth
and prosperity of our town, paying
taxes to adorn and beautify our
streets, paying taxes to help support
our public schools and make public
improvements. The itineront ven
der has no such relation to our com
munity. He comes and goes. He
is not tax payer. He shares in
none of the burdens of the people.
He is free trader and our munic-
ipal authorities tax him to dimini. h
the burdens borne by our own citi-
zens. This is protection, sim pie
and pure, and is the exact character
Of that which we would apply to
foreign nations seeking United
States markets

tees were unanimously adopted.
When the time for nominations
arrived Hon. James B. Menager, in
an eloquent speech, placed in nomi-
nation for Congress, Hon. c. b.

that all rules be suspended and that

There were two excellent brass
bands at the convention. One, a
colored band, of PIT Pleasant. The
