Among the Railroads.

There have been several changes re-
Gently in the schedules and the trains
on the railroads. Some of these nave
been already mentioned i'll The Herald
and News. -.
The Anderson train now stops at
Prosperity and passes Newberry IN the
morning at $50. The schedule IN the
afternoon is unchanged. ,
The passenger train on the Z. \. x
L. now runs through from Clinton to
Columbia, passing Newberry at the
same time as heretofore. This train Is
in charge of Capt. GailIiard. He, how,
ever, is now on trip TO Mexico ana
California and his place is being hlleu
temporarily by Capt. Burnham. Ihls
train does not carry a mail train ou'
takes pouches from Newoerry 10 Yin
ton and to Columbia carrying mall lor
those places and points beyond. The
freight on this road still runs on the
same schedule between Columbia ana
Newberry. 1t is in charge Of Capt. B.
F. Turner. A mail car has been put on
this train and the postal clerk IS negro
from about Fishdam in Union County
bv the name of Rice. \ change II! Ohe
Schedule of this train is expected to &C
into effect next Sunday. Just what
the schedule will be has not been made
known, but it is probable that 1t viii
leave Columbia early in the morning
and return late in the afternoon. II
will run thrc ugh to Clinton. This vii
be good schedule if it is adopted. By
it we will have a regular early mai
from Columbia.

PRESIDENT OF PIEDMONT.
Z. IT, M'CAughrin, of Sewberry, onan'-
NOUS Choice of Stock Holders.

Much interest has been felt as to
who would succeed Colonel Hamnelt
st presidaut of Piedmont factory. The
names of several gentlemen have been
mentioned, and the meeting yesterday
excited more comment and speculation
than any former assembly Of the stock
holders.
The importance Of this meeting
caused a full representation OF the
Or<ock. There was great unanlmlty IN
the election of officers and directors, and
the selection seems to meet the approVal
of those who know the men and are
interested in the mill. The following
are the officers and directors:
R. l.. Mclaughlin, of Newberry,
President Hamlin Beattie, of Green
vile, vice-President.
Directo 8: F. J. PeiZer, Hamlin
Beattie, J. T.. Orr, IT. Q. Donaldson, K.
l.. Mclaughlin, Somerfield Baldwin,
J. n. Martin, J. P. Kennedy, :. A.
Craig.
The present clerical force was re-
elected. President McCaughrin did
not definitely accept the position, tax.
ing sixty days for consideration. Ii
he accepts he will move To Greenvllle.
Appropriate resolutions concerning
Colonel Hammett were presented aud
will be given to the press at later
day. -.
There is general pleasure and salts
faction over the selection Of president.
Colonel Mclaughlin is well known IN
Greenville as business man Of distin-
guished ability and valuable citizen,
and Greenville people congratulate
themselves on the prospect of having
him and his family as residents OF the
city.-Greenville News, l4th.
The Herald and News called to see
Mr.. Mclaughlin on Monday, but be
declined to talk for publication in re-
gard to his election or as to what would
possibly be his decision further than to
say that he had not yet made up his
mind as to what would be his decision.
He had the matter under considera-
ton, and had been given sixty days
within which to give definite an
swer, and he did not knowye what ne
would determine.
The offer is very f1attering one and
comes unsought to Mr.. Mclaughlin.
It brings with it a decided increase in
salary and lighter work.
| If Mr.. Mclaughlin should determine
TO accept: it would necessitate his re-
moval to Greenville and it would be
quite a loss to Newberry. His place
| would be hard to fill. 1t is to be hoped
that he can find it consistent with bis
best interests to decline the offer and
to determine to remain with US in New
berry.

marriage, but had none of the elements
of stern parental opposition. The lovers
met by appointment at the postoffi9e

Rev. S. d. Vaughan, where the naptial
knot was tied. They then repaired to
the residence of the groom's father, Mr..
Samuel Merrill, where that astonished
gentleman welcomed them with a
fathers warmth.
Mr.. Merrill is a promising young me-
chanic who works at the railroad shops.
The bride is a daughter OF Mr.. J. H.
