Henry Clews, the New York banker,
declares that we are about to enter upon
ian era Of great national development, "
and then goes on to say "Appropos to
this national growth, the Columbus eX-
hibition of 1892 should be made the most
striking example of it that mas ever been
made. If it is to commemorate American
progress, it should far eclipse any similar
event which the world has ever seen, for
in no country in the world has that
growth been so grand and permanent as
in the United States. The exhibition can
only be made a success by entrusting it
to the care Of men of high ability, enter
prise and determination Mastery activ-
ity is what is most wanted; and if the
present committee not possess these quail
tiles Mayor Grant should dispose of them
and select new and better committee.
Public spirit, local and national, must be
awakened to the active support of the
enterprise. Immediate gains should be
lost sight of in the belief that the indi-
rect gains will be incalculable 1t is said
that the Paris Exposition brought $3.50, T.
600, 900 foreign money into France, stimu-
lating her trade and industries in innumer-
able ways In fact, the exhibition prob
ably saved France from serious financial
difficulties. If one country can receive
such wonderful benefit from great ex-
hibition, there is no reason why similar
results will not obtain here. "

EnSilnSe Conclusions,

II late issue of the Ohio Farmer n cor.
respondent sums up the conclusions or the
late nsiagC convention so tcrScly lnaI we
publish his statement.
First, il was conceded by all present who
had experimental with cnSiagc that with q
gOOd.Sized SilO and cnSilagc sufficient to feed
through the winter, and to supplement, The
stock on any farm can be doubled.
Second, that corn is the most profitable
crop to raise for enslage, and the b. u w.
Southern corn is tho best adapted to the
wants of this part of the country.
Third, that cnSilage must be made OF
mature crops, and that crops should mature
enough 10 dent before being cut.
Fourth, that any alright room Will do Tor
a SiIo. hut it must he air-tightto to obtain ilrs,-
class cn>ilage at sides as well as at the mid
die of pit.
Flfth. that frame building is perhaps bet.
ter than stone or brick. ii the sides arc made
air.tight hy plaStcring or ceiling. The ma
inrity seemed 10 favor plaStcring.
Sixth, that cnsllaSc is not n mytl, or
luxury for the rich. but Il necessity for the
common farmer to enable him to compete 'a
successfully with the western FARMER, III
raising stock and dairying.
Seventh, that with silO we can harvest Il
crop regardless Of the weather. ana when we
have it, harvested we have obtained that
lung-irlt necessity, n cheap, sncculent food
that promotes health in all KINDS OF STOCK
and keeps young stock growing through the
winter instead of shrinking as when fed on
ordinary feed.
f.i.hlh. thai with mature corn, it makes
li'rIc difference whether VIC fl slow or fast.

Is 1t Persecution &:

Sometime ago Mr.. S. H. CUNNINGHAM
moved his printing office to Oran scbufg, and
has been publishing q newspaper there ever
since. Instead OF encouraging him in his en-
terprlse-as most thrifty towns give counter
ance and encouragement to new cOmerS,--it
seems that there has been an effort To freeze
him out, to starve.him out or to run him out,
Several months ago. he discovered his house
on fire. The alarm was promptly given, and
the property saved. A detective was then
brought, and after months Mr.. Cunningham
was arrested soon after the grand jury had
been dismissed, thus compelling him to rest
under these charges until next Fall before he
he can possibly vindcate himself
We believe the above are the facts in brief,
and without knowing much OF Mr.. Cam
bingham, we do not believe that he Is guilty,
and we sympathise with any man who is
crowded or pushed to the wall. AS far as we
have been able to see Mr.. Cunningham has
published paper whose tone has been honor
able, and with proper encouragement, he
could have made a newspaper Of which
Orangeburg might well be proud. y good
newspaper should be a source of pride to any
town, and we cannot see why Mr.. Cunningham
should not have the good will the good peo-
pie OF Orangeburg.

THE G. c. & N. ROAD NOW AN ASSURED

Branches to FIorid" and New Or
leans.
ElJerton Star.

The predictions of the Star in regard to the
early completion of the Georgia, Carolina &
Northern railroad are about to be realized
and the glad tdingS are now announced,
that work will start as speedily as men and
money can do the work.
The iSa,' has always been the first paper to
give the news from this great enterprise, and
1t is with feelings of no little pride that we are
now able to give conclusive proof That we
have been Oh the right track all the time.
We have IL from q gentlemen who knows
whereof he speaks that a meeting OF the d.
rectors Of the Covington & Macon road was
held a few days since in Macon, when the
information was confidentially given them
that ARRANGEMENTS had been perfected for the
speedy completion Of the Georgia, Carolina
& Northern from Monroe. n. c., via Elberton,
to Athens, where this line would stop, and
then be blended and operated in connection
tn as first contemplated. This latter round
will be completed to Florida, with branch
from Madison, via Griffin. Ga, and to be car.
rIed to New Orleans. Unbroken trains VIII
be run over the entire seaboard system to both
these terminals.
This change will make Athens headquar-
ters for the G. c. e. NJ, and the machine shops
will be located here. 1t will also make this
one Of the most important trade centres In
the State, and double its business popula-
ton.
,There is now not shadow OF doubt but
that the g. G. &: N. will be pushed to compile
tlon as speedily as possible, and we believe
that inside OF sixty days dirt will be broB en-
all along the line. II is proposed to hegin
grading at Athens. in the direction OF Fiber.
ton, as also at Chester, Greenwood and Able
willie, S. &. The Star readers can implicitly
rely on this news.

World can get the people excited on rail

their own homesteads but the homesteads OF
their neighbors, but they will never consent

Railroad Wind.

The Elberton Star seems TO have corner OH
news in respect to the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern Railroad.
It will be seen that that paper Is confident
that the road will be built, and it maps out a
long list of extensions from Athens while
stating that the road will not be completed
to Atlanta. If this means anything. and II II
is true that the road will stop short of Allan
IA, II occurs to US, that the change OF oase
must be compromise or agreement with the
Clydes not to enter competition at the Gate
City. AS 1t is generally understood that the
present stop OF work on the road Is owing 10
active opposition on the part of the Clydes
It Is barely possible that the Clydes
have consented to let Robertson build the
road to Athens, if the line be diverted at that
point away from Atlanta down toward
the Everglades.
It seems real kind Of the Clydes 10 allow
the building even to Athens of the Georgia.
Carolina and Notheru roal. Small faVors
thankfully received, and promptly noteu.
AS far as we have heard, there Is no deflnlte
news of the Cumberland Gap, upon when the
vulger crowd may gaze. We know nothing
OF IL. except the advertisement in the paper,
and rumors to the effect that the road will be
finished to Abbeville In time to take off the
next crop, and that Mr. Averill will resign his
place on the South Carolina road to build the
Cumberland Gap. While there is no account
ing for what any man may do in these daSS
and times we are unable to speak as to wha'
Mr. Averlll may do In the matter OF resign
ing his position on the South Carolina road
but as to the finishing Of the road to Aooe.
VILE during the present year we presume thal
nobody believes that for one moment. NO
matter how much money Mr.. Averlli may
have, and how determined he may De 10
build the road, he and every man on the
South Carolina road could not finish it TO Ao'
beyille this year. If he finishes 1t any time
during the next year he will break the record
for prompt railroad building. The Georgia.
Central, with Bank and all the equipments
at hand, built little over mile a week, after
the track had been graded.
We may finally get both the Georgia, Car
oliua and Northern road, and the Cumber'
land Gap road, but these results will not be
brought about in this year Of grace.
But, kind reader, suppose both roads were
here to-day. hawling coal and cotton, OF what

Why Not ?

The Supreme Court, we believe, does not
pretend to investigate questions of fact that
arise or are decided in the lower courts.
From a laymen's stand point it seems that
Judge Is more likely to err on question OF
fact than on a question of law. The law Is
laid down In the books and 1t is thoroughly
explained by the different lawyers in the
case, but sometimes Il question OF fact is
not so easily settled. 1t would seem that
there is but little opportunity for errors OF
law, but that there is every possibility for
error as to facts. If we were either lawyer
or client and the court would consider only
one Of the questions, law or fact, we would
prefer to have the question of fact investiga-
ted.
Can any good lawyer givea good and suli-
cient reason showing why his client shoald
be debarred an appeal from an erroneous
Judgment, based upon misapprehenslon OF
facts?
