der the law of 1888 would continue in

Golrand opposed the bill. He ceusured
the managers of the canal, and said it
would be impossible to leave the W rk of
construction in their hands any lon, er, as
they had been guilty of employing T isrep-

be bankrupt. If they adopted it the COM

arrangements.

A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Especial to News and Courier J

kcpCClell W ANC"S SlHSI NouiA
NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Ow;ng to the
dread of yellow fever continuing to
spread in the South, Southern securi-
ties on the Exchange remain supersen-
sitive, and yield far more readily than
usual to the bear raids. Richmond
Terminal was the special object Of
attack to-day, and was knocked down
to 22I, the lowest point it has touched
for some time. This depression in
values, however, does not prevent I'M
portant moves in Southern railroad
affairs, as is shown by the negotiations
now going on between The Richmond
and Danvile and East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia. The Richmond and
Danville proposes to lease the East
Tennessee for ninety-nine years, and
the details are now being arranged.
President Geo. S. Scott, Of the Rich
mond and Danyille, has submitted in
writing the general outline of q propo-
sition to Gen. Sam Thomas, president
Of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and it is said that the paper is
in all material points satisfactory to the
East Tennessee managers. Only few
minor details remain to be agreed
upon, and the matte will then be
ready for consideration at the meet
ing of the East Tennessee stock
holders to he held on October Sth, and
the ratification Of the programme is
foregone conclusion from the fact that
tie majority of the stockholders have
already been sounded on the subject.
1t is said that this deal viii be of great
benefit to the Richmond Terminal; be-
cause it will insure uniform co-6Oera-
ton between the Richmond and Dan
vile and East Tennessee for mutual
profit. and both of them belong to the
Terminal system. 1t il also suggested
that the Norfolk and Western is bound
to suffer, and that President Kimball
will realize what a mistake he made in
buying the control 0. the East Tenne-
see, which he had the chance of do
ing a month or two age. Much of
the business which his road has
heretofore gotten jtom the East
Tendessee will be given, after the
contemplated lease is made, to the
Richmond and Danvile and hauled
over it's "Western North Carolina"
division. The Richmond Terminal
under existing circumstances has con-
troll Of the Fast Tennessee for only
about three years longer, but practically
that control will be perpetuated for
ninety-nineyears through the proposed
lease to the Richmond and Danville,
from the fact that the Terminal owns
outright large majority interest of the
Richmond and Danville. 1t is impossi-
bic at present to learn the precise terms
of the lease, but they will probably be
known within few days. ". J.. V.

One Dollar q Year.

From the News and Courier, Septem
Der lG, lSSS.)
The price of the Weekly News and
Courier, as announced yesterday: has
been reduced to one dollara year.
At this price it is by far the cheapest
newspaper iD the South. 1t is news,
paper which meets the requirements OF
the farmer, the politician and the
merchant, and it is always a prime
favorite with the home circle.
Crowded into its twelve pages and
seventy-two columns there is all the
news Of the State, the United States,
and of "this great globe itself,' together
with just such light reading as will in
terest the old and young, and amuse
them too.
The Weekly News and Courier, while
thoroughly American, is radically a
Southern newspaper, and devoted to
the interests of the Southern people as
a component part of the peoples of the
United States. 1t is Democratic in its
policy and principle, and broad and
national in its aims.
The public know a good newspaper
when they see it, as is demonstrated by
the success which has attended The
Weekly News and Courier. 1t is read
in every part Of the United States, and
in nearly every State in the Union, and
in Europe as we'll as in America.
Instead of offering premiums, as has
been customary, the price of The
Weekly News and Courier has been
proportionately reduced. 1t is now
within the reach of everybody, and at
the rate of one dollar year will be
found indispensable to the comfort and
development ofall good people in South
Carolina, at least.
Postmasters throughout South Caro-
lima and throughout all the States and
invited to become agents Of The Week
ly News and Courier. They should
commence operations at once in en-
larging the field of usefulness of The
Weekly News and Courier, as it is not
desirable to have more than one agent
in the same town. 1t

tance OF this road to our town and Will
do all in their power to push ahead the
