THE GEORGIA, CAROLINA & NORTHERN
An Assertion that the Enterprise II
Very Much Alive.
<nl
Charlotte Chronicle.

The talk about the collapse Of the Georgia.
Carolina & Northern road Is claimed by The
Seaboard AIR Line officials to be nil bosh.
How 1t originated, or who started It, is not
known, but the officials Of the company say
that Of one thing they are certain, and that is,
that there Is no truth In 1t, whatever.
Col. l.. e. Jones. uperintendentof ofthe Carolt-
ma Central was, In the city yesterday, but left
in his special car in the afternoon for u tour
over the newly completed portion Of the road.
When asked about the collapse Of the Georgia,
Carolina & Northern he laughed and said that
there was nothing Of 1t, thut the Georgia,
Carolina & Northern was as solid to day as
ever aud was pushing steadily on to Atlanta.
Col. B. +. Hoke, who is 80 prominantly con.
nected:with the building OF this road, was
quite indignant over the report that had been
circulated. "These Is not one word OF truth
that he had only yesterday located the depot
for his road In Chester The Georgia, Caroline,
& Northern, he said, is sound as ever, and
perfectly able 10 take care Of itself. 1t has all
The money it wants, and does not intend to
stop short of Atlanta. 1t will haul Chester's
cotton this fall. 1t is perfectly independent
and can not be brought up by the Richmond
& Danville or any other road. When Colonel
Jones and Colonel Hoke both say that there
Is nothing In the report, the people may be
satisfied upon that score. ..

Publishers and editors write and make up
the paper, but the paper belongs TO the peo-
ple. You hand an editor Q dollar for the sub
scrlption to the paper, and the paper belongs
to you. What uee hasan editor for more than
one paper? Hundreds 60 from his office, but
none are his. The journal Is for the good Of
the people and of course all editors and pub
fishers are included. No town or country can
ever rise to any degree OF prominence with;
out some organ through which TO talk and tell
each nelghbor whatthe otheriis doing. For one
neighbor to hear and see through It's columns
of tho newspaper what each otller Is doing In.
spires the other to advance few steps. II !
hear of one man making 80 much cotton aud
corn 10 the plow, 1t encourages and spirits me
to do likewise. Then we say 1t Is the duty OF
merchgnts, farmers, doctors. lawyers, all 10

the editor REFUSED" Such q man is not to

Abbeville has tried the primary system and
is so we'll pleased that she sends delegates IN
the District and Circuit con ventions instruct
ed TO favor 1t for both Circuit and District.
Let II be noted that Abbeville Is hitched 10
some very strong white counties-to Ander-
son, Greenville, Pickens and Oconee. But
she is not afraid to take her changes In free
for.all-races, giving every Democratic voter
the opportunity to express his preferences d.
rectly from the ballot box.

Hard Labor sehooI1elcnic.

The Hard Labor ~schoci1 ght by Miss
Mamie Hearst, was closed la saturday after
school throughout the session, and her pa
irons are much pleased with her as most
excellent teacher.
On Saturday after the closing OF the school
the children, and some OF their friends had a
picnic at the school house, where all spent an
enjoyable day.
This Is perhaps one of the best attended
country schools in the county, and the good
teachers who have had charge OF this school
from the beginning have doneaa good work
for the children of the people orthe neighbor-
hood. Good teaching and large attendance Is
all that the school authorities could desire.
Last spring q good frame houseuwas built for
this school, and me presume hat the Hard
Labor school may be conside pa fixture.

Good Work.

Mr.. ]. S. Norwood has liost excellent ten:
ants on his farm of over f'Fur thousand acres
in Fiatwoods. One company OF sixteen join:
ed for q hoeing one day last week, and from
six o'clock In the morning to sunset they
hoed twenty-five acres. In old times one
acre day was considered full work, and from
this 1t would seem that the negroes In free
dom can do more work than in slavery. Be-
sides small grain and other crops, we believe
Mr.. Norwood generally makes on his place
something like two hundred bales of cotton.

The New Bell.


The newsPresbyterian bell was placed In
position last Saturday, and on sunday
morning, for the first time, called the sunday
School children together. The bell Is perhaps
the largest that was ever brought to this part
OF the country. II is said that it may be
heard for distance of six miles. II weighs
Six hundred pounds and cost S65. Connected
with this bell is little history which
would be interesting, If all Ae-facts were
published. After the cid d. = WAS Destroy
ed, theIrGa1l or, called the
chill sonage; when
thI (isw bill. The little girls and the little
b Es-were each organized into companies of
workers-President, aud Treasurer for each
respectively. Each little girl and each little
boy under took to earn the money which he
or she might contribute. They did oil man
ner OF work foI parents or others, and their
combined efforts have succeeded, In raising
very nearly the full amount. While 1t was
good thing to secure the bell for the church,
yet we believe the good lesson taught then
children In working for good cause Is worth
much more than many bells.

Our deceased brother went in and out be.

him we'll enough to concur In all that you
have said In his praise, and to sympathise
with you in your grief for his loss. knew
him well enough 10 know that his aims were
high and that his character was high and
that his life was full Of promise Of usefulness
to others and Of honor to himself 1t was
right that you should praise him. It is due
to him and worthy OF you. It Is most desira-
BILE that the memory OF his virtues should be
perpetuated,- that his character may furnish
both a real standard for emulation and q
proof Of the elevating influence Of his pro-
fession upon noble minds.
The motion Is granted. The Clerk will en-
ter the resolutions upon the minutes Of the
Court-and the Court will stand adjourned
