For the Confederate Wounded.

COLUMBIA. S. c.. January l,.-Gov.
Tillman. Comptroller General Ellerbe
and Chairman Bratton, the special COM
mittee in charge of the distribution OF
the 5000 appropriated by the General
Assembly for the purchase of artificial
limbs for Confederate soldiers, are ready
to receive applications. The money is
available to those who received any por-
ton of the fund appropriated in 1881.
The law does not make any provision for
anv one who lost limb or an eye
who did not receive a portion OF
the last fund for similar purpose. The
fund in 1880 was 5000 and was all con-
sumed in the purchase of limbs. The
present fund is to be used in tie ?ur-
chase of duplicates of the old limbs. 1t
is desired that all Confederates be in
formed of this fund and that tney un=
derstand it's purposes. The money
will be prorated among the applicants,
as there is no other way of knowing
how many of the former benefciaries are
alive or in the State The proof neces-
sary is that the applicant received a
portion Of the fund when last distribu-
ted.

We have received another lengthy COM
munication from Mr NJ. D. Galbreath ON
the subject of the county advertising let
by the County Commissioners Jointly to
the KEowEE COURIER and the Oconee
Ne,cs. As enough has already been said
pro and con for the enlightenment and
edifcation of an intelligent, reading pub
lie. we are constrained to decline the
publication of further compositions,
whose chief merit is verbosity. If, how
ever, Mr.. Galbreath desires still to ar
his ideas on advertising rates and con-
tracts. we will be pleased to engage him
a column each week, at 81 per square,
for the dilution and dissemination of his
knowledge, as we'll as the super-induced
wisdom of those whose writing he sees
fit to father. This will furnish practi-
cal demonstration of the value Of adver
tising space. and will doubtless enhance
the value of his communications TO the
general public; certainly, il Will to US.

Railroad Earnings.

For the last four months the earnings
of the railroads in South Carolina were
$500 900 less than for the corresponding
period year ago. This falling of in
part may be attributed to the rigid econ
omy now practiced by the farmers in the
use of fertilizers, the stoppage in the
purchase of corn, bacon and hay. The
reckless purchase of these articles
was fun for the railroads, but death
tc the farmers, and wisely, and we
hope in time, have called halt and now
live more at home. They have proven
this the past season that they can make
their own corn. bacon. -four, rice,
hay, molasses, lard and even fair sugar
on their farms. Then would it not be a
suicidal policy to give up raising them
in order to buy them for the railroads to
haul? The farmers are waking up.
Hereafter they will raise everything at
home and raise only enough cotton to
pay for extras.

Railroad Matters.

Capt. R. II. Fitzhugh's report on our
railroad project has been the means of
stirring up sonio interest in the matter,
not only in our own country, but also
across the water. The report was placed
before very wealthy syndicate OF
English capitalists in London short
time ago, and they became so much
interested in the scheme that they wrote
their agents in the United States to look
into the proposed scheme and make
further examination of the line.
in compliance with the request,
company of railroad promoters and
builders from Lexington, KY, Nashville
and Knoxville, met the representatives
of the London syndicate in Knoxville on
Saturday, December 3lst, for the pur-
pose of considering the construction of the
proposed line, known as the Chicago and
South Atlantic Railroad, as presented in
Capt. Fitzhugh's report. The combined
forces at the Northern terminal are
working energetically to bring the
matter to a successful issue. We learn
that charter has been secured for the
Tennessee portion of the line from Har-
riman to the North Carolina line.
1t is v. :thy of mention in this con-
nection that the promoters made an
extended visit to Port Royal, the South
ern terminus. and are in touch with
interested parties at the end of the
line.
We also learn that the legislation that
was needed in South Carolina has been
enacted, and that the friends of the
scheme on that end have their charter in
good shape form Anderson, S. c., to
Rabun Gap. and the matter of concern
now is the gap embracing that portion OF
the line through North Carolina. Inter
ested parties are making investigations,
and will, as early as practicable. get the
whole thing in good shape, when it will.
be submitted to the London people. The
prospects seem very promising at the
present outlook ". c. Press.

The Railroad Commission.

The people of South Carolina have had
a Railroad Commission for several years.
1t has been mere fsure-head, without
authority to control or 10 make its action
respected by the roads or the people.
The recent Legislature, however, has
passed an Act, like the one in force in
Georgia, which has stirred the opposition
to reform. as well as the railroads. to the
most bitter opposition. The law allows
the Commission to regulate the roads.
fixing passenger and freight rates. This
is wherein the Georgia law is followed by
our Act.
The Atlanta Jo,nmcl says, under this
law. millions of dollars have been sared
to the people of Georgia. While this
was going or in our sister State, millions
OF dollars have been lost to the people of
South Carolina, and IS far "a we can see
the railroads even have not been bene-
fted. They are in the hands of receiv-
ers, croakine over their own misfortunes
and caring little for the interests OF the
people.
Il swould be useless for US to inquire
into the causes which have carried the
roads into the hands of receivers. The
people of the South know that they have
been o2ertaken by misfortune, and they
are not surprised to see the roads in like
condition. In this crisis have the roads
in South Carolina reduced their passenger
rates or given up any of their old freight
rates on cotton or any of the other pro
minent crops of the Soutl ?
We do not believe the Railroad Com
mission Will oppress the railroads under
The new law. But when prosperity re-
turns to this section we will not pay
lo,rer passenger and freight rates in
Georgia and higher freight rates and pas
senger fare in South Carolina. Even un-
der the Interstate Railroad Law this act
OF justice granted the people OF Georgia
might be enforced for the benefit of the
oppressed people OF South Carolina.
We copy this week the very able article
from the editor of the Atlanta journal,
showing that the Commission in Georgia
has greatly benefited the people of that
State. and that, too. without injury to
the roads. Our law and the Georgia law
are very much the same. Both give the
right to regulate passenger fare and
freight rates, and both deny to the roads
tie right OF appeal to the courts.
The roads contend that they have been
unfortunate and have been placed in the
hands of receivers. They certainly have
been unfortunate. Their securities are
manipulated by the sharks of Wall Street
and the prices Of these securities are as
variable as the wind. Let US not forget.
too. that .ne Directors Of the West Point
Terminal Company, the machine that
runs the Richmond and Danville Roads
in this section, are charging each other
with fraud in the United States Courts.

The Weather.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 16.-Never
in the history of the central South has
there been so much suffering from cold
weather as at present. All the rivers
are blocked with ice and snow, render
ing passage over them impossible. Many
trains are late and some have been aban-
doned by their suffering crews. The
most intense suffering is prevalent
among the mountaineers. The snow is
from ten inches to three feet deep in
East Tennessee and Western North Caro-
lima and Eastern Kentucky, and all
kinds of labor is suspended.
KNOXVILLE, >TENN.-Nof for thirty
years has there oeen such severe weather
as now prevails in this section. The
thermometer is far below zero, and a
dozen or more people are reported frozen
to death. Business of all kinds is sus-
pended, and the united efforts of city
officials and church members are being
utilized to aid the poor. All trains are
late and it, is difficult to run them on
anything Ike schedule time.
CHARLESTON, S. c., January 16.-The
unprecedented cold weather here has
caused the most intense suffering among
poor and rich alike. The peculiar con-
struction of the residence houses renders
them almost incapable of being heated
with temperature below thirty degrees,
a thing which has rarely happened until
this year. It has been freezing almost
daily since Christmas and the suffering
is great and widespread. To-day the
mercury went down to % degrees and
ice has remained in the streets all day,
even in the sun.
Benjamin Lamb, white street car dri-
yer, is the first victim of the cold. He
was frozen on Friday night after finish
ing his days work and died this morn
ing from the effects of exposure.
The results of the cold on the truck
farms around Charleston, which furnish
early vegetables for the New York and
Chicago markets, will be very serious.
There will be no early shipments this
spring. Most of the crop is planted, but
the seeds have been frozen in the ground
and can not be replanted till there is a
thaw. Such a prolonged cold spell has
never before been known here.
