Senator Rhame showed US last
Monday a very pretty specimen OF
indurated tale. This mineral is easily
reduced to fine unctuous powder, and
MIR. Rhame tells us it IS SO reduced in
the mountains of North Carolina, and
shipped in sacks in large quantities to
the North, where it is used to adul-
terate sugar, candy, etc. The fine
French candies, ETC., from the North
consists largely of this powder, and
we are thus able sooner to eat ous
traditional 'speck of dirt" The tale
powder costs very little, and there is
a big profit in adulteration.
Moral: Let US raise our own sugar
cane, and make our own sugar: And
buy candy only from home houses,
that will guarantee its purity.

WE WANT THE RAILROAD.

Manning is very anxious for the
branch connection with the Eutaw-
vile Railroad, and we hope it will be
made very soon. As it is, without
this road, our local trade will be ma
tesially injured, and the town is will
ling to offer inducements for the road
to come to this place. We have been
told that the railroad company are
very favarably inclined to build the
road, believing it will pay them we'll.
We are confident it would pay them
well, and We are equally confident it
would be of grea: advantage to Man
ming.
But where shall the branch road
connect with the main line? Mai. P.
6. Benbow, who is familiar with all
the western part of this county, tells
rs that the nearest and best point is
about Nh. A. ". 9,hames's, which is
less than eight miles from Manning,
almost level requiring little or no
grading, and only one stream to cross,
which would take less than thirty feet
of tresting. This point is about
eight miles from Summerton. For
the branch to go directly to and pass
through Summerton, to intersect the
main line at that place, Will require
at least twelve miles of railroad and
to cross two streams each of which
would require trestling.
We have talked with a number OF
our business men, all of whom prefer
the Thames connection, as by that
connection we would have direct COM
municatiou not only with this section,
but also with Summerton, as it is
very probable the train would con-
meet with the train from Charleston.
On the other hand, Summerton is al
ready q town, and the road would,
by going to that place, largely benefit
it 1t would, however, cost the rail-
road company nearly double the
money to build the road through
Summerton.
We have briefly given both sides
Of the question. We want the rail
road, and while for many reasons it
would be best for it to go to Thames,
there are other reasons making ii
best to 60 to Summerton. In the
case Of lie overs passengers would
ind Summerton q Better place with
better accommodations.
One OF the best arguments for
Thames, however, is, that if the rail-
road is built to that point, it will be
almost IS convenient for the Summer
ton people, and viii give Manning a
much better means of securing the
trade north of Summerton. As we
said above, connections will probably
be made coming from Charleston,
and ii is not at all improbable that,
were the road built from Summertcn,
it would be of no use whatever to
people of the Thames section. Con-
sequently all that trade would natu-
rally leave Manning and drift to Sum
Ter.
But let rs by all means have the
railroad. We would like next week
to publish communications On nui;s tbs
