The EutawviIIe Railroad.

The Eutawville Railroad is moving on to
Sumter at rate that will soon put this city
and that town in close and quick communi-
cation.
President Barkley has been pushing the
interests of the road with energy ever since
he took charge, and but for the unfortunate
delay caused by the washing of part of the
Santee bridge would have, by this time,
been into Sumter with his railroad.
President Barkley and Directors Pregnall,
John S. Silver, and A. A. Hewlett, of New
York, have just completed thorough in
spection of the road from Pregnalls to Sum-
ter. The object of the tour was to locate
depots on the line in Clarendon and Sum
ter counties, and in the city Of Sumter.
The completion Of the trestle over the
Santee Swamp will take from four to FIVE
weeks. The plans aud specifications of the
passenger depot in Sumter, the round
house, the express Office, the car sheds, ETC..
have been contracted for with view of
having these buildings completed within
the next two months The city of Sumter
has granted the railroad the lands on which
the buildings will be erected. From the
plans it appears that the depots and offices
will be the finest in point Of appointment
in the South.
Three hundred tons of rail have been
shipped by steamer from New York to ena-
BE the company to commence laying the
track from Sumter Immediately. Eight hun
dred tons of rail are now at sea on schoon-
er, all of which will lay and relay the line
with 60 pound rails from Sumter to Preg-
nails.
The company had hoped to be able to be
running through to Sumter by the 18th OF
September, but on account of the unfore
seen obstacles it is now thought that it will
be the first Of October before the line is in
complete operation.
1t is understood that the name of the
railroad will be changed from the Eutaw-
vile Railroad to the Charleston, Sumter
and Cheraw Railroad, but the change is as
yet only under advisement The assurance
is given bv the management that the rail
road will be operated in the interest of this
port.-Neacs and Courier July 9th.

The shooting on Monday morning
of Oliver Jackson, colored, by Hal
Power, the night watchman at the
Savannah Valley depot in Anderson,
is very serious matter The facts
before US are exceedingly meagre and
it is hoped, for the good reputation of
the State, that the whole story has not
been told. In the light of the report
published yesterday, the shooting. of
Jackson appears to have been wholly
without justification.
It is said that Jackson was trying
to break into a freight eau, and that
he was found behind pile of lumber
on the depot platform. He was hailed
several times by the watchman, and
was ordered to come out from his hid
ing place. "Come out, or Iii kill
you" the watchman said, "and the
man failing to come, Power shot, the
ball taking effect in the centre of the
forehead The narrative continues:
''The negro fell and moaned. x
Oliver is not yet dead, I he was confn-
ed in the guard house after being
shot, but is not expected to live. No
further action has been taken"
This is the plain and matter of fact
story of very deplorable event. If
Jackson had been captured and sent
to jail, the severest punishment that
the law would have inflicted upon
him, after conviction in a court OF
Justice, would have been imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. The law
could not have taken his life for
breaking into a freight car, and yet a
night watchman shot him down be-
cause she heard noise out, as if some
one was trying to break into box
car" Is there anything in South
Carolina that is quite so cheap as
human life?
It is true that the colored popula-
ton of South Carolina is too large
and that it should be reduced, but as
long as the negroes are under the law
they must be protected by the law

ed in a Charleston newspaper card
signed by DR.. Todd, of Barnwell, in
which it was stated that Judge Ker-
shaw had told him Or. Todd) that il
he had been on the jury in the Mellow
case he would have been compelled to
find the same verdict.
This statement was entirely contra
ry to the views expressed to me by
Judge Kershaw shortly after the jury
had retired to deliberate upon the
case, and I was satisfied that DR..
Todd's statement was incorrect and
that he had entirely misunderstood
what the Judge had said. I accord
ingly wrote to Judge Kershaw, en-
closing DR. Todd's card, and asked
him to write me his recollection Of
his conversation with DR.. Todd.
have received q reply from Judge Ker-
shaw, from which I beg leave to quote
the following:
ssI have never consciously formed
an opinion as to what my verdict
would have been in the Mellow case
had been a juror, and never intend.
ed to state any such opinion. IF ]
ever stated any such opinion it was
stated alphabetically and qualified by
some condition. AS you know, ]
studiously avoid forming any opinion
on questions OF fact before me, upon
which jury ought to pass, and it is
not my province to criticise verdict.
I must assume that it is rendered con-
scientiously in all cases.
'1 expressed to you privately my
opinion after the jury retired in this
case. I said I regarded the prisoner
in position of great peril. That the
evidence in its worst aspects would
warrant a conviction for murder.
That, taking favorable view for the
prisoner, it would be manslaughter.
But that if the jury believed McDow
they might find not guilty. That
McDow's statement was sufficient, II
believed, to raise reasonable doubt.
I attached no Importance to what was
said in my conversation with DIR.
Todd, but am sure that he greatly
misunderstood me.
II adhere to the views I expressed
to you and am not conscious of hay
ing at any time had any other opin-
ion on the subject

stature or measurement. City life
necessarily produces q rapid and un-
ceasing series Of impressions, and calls
for constant exertion. The laws of
sanitation and cerebral hygiene should,
then, be carefully studied. IL IL de-
sirable to have what quietness IL
possible during brain work, and the
necessity for proper ventilation a.
means of maintaining mental energy
is we'll known. 1t might lessen brain

ton. Good digestion Is essential to
continued work with good lasting
power. Late rising and still more
hurried luncheon and rush back to
work, followed, at the conclusion of
the day, by heavy meal when the
man Is wearied, often tends to exhaus-
ton "a much as unavoidable pressure
of business. A most rational refresh
ment after heavy brain work Is to
partake OF light refreshment and then
rest for half an hour before dinner
thus the power of digestion and social
enjoyment are restored TO the man.
Probably the chief means of preparing
a man to Withstand the wear of
business life is by careful training,
both physical and mental, before he
enters upon the struggle and wear
of business. One means of increasing
the chances of LONGEVITY is by training
the child wisely. Many a premature

the mountain, and Il In evident that,
when the inward pressure Of steam
became too great TO be resisted, the
mountain yielded, as an immense boiler
would have done.
The debris which fell, after the
explosion, covered an area of about
fourteen thousand acres, to a depth
varying from ten to one hundred feet.
In certain spots IL even reached depth
of nine hundred feet. Villages were
engulfed In ruin, and at least five
hundred inhabitants killed, while the
torrents of mud accompanying the
eruption rolled through the valleys
to distance of nine miles from the
crater, filed up q river on the way,
and led to the formation Of lake.
An account Ia given In La Nature
of the visit paid by some members of
the University of TOXIC to the scene
of the disaster. They found one
village In the neighborhood of the
crater half buried beneath q river of
mud, while the other half was un-
touched.
The survivors among It's inhabitants
were engaged In digging through the
solidified mud-sad and disheartning
task, since they could only expect to
find ruin and death. The explorers
then visited the crater, finding them
selves upon the edge Of an immense
chasm, which had previously been a
solid mountain.
From the bottom of the abyss still
rose torrents Of steam, forming clouds
as IL reached the higher atmosphere.
All about, rs tar as the eye could
reach, was devastated country, some
villages which had not been inundated
seeming to be literally overturned by
the wind. 1t was q scene of horror,
from which even an explorer would
gladly fee.
