At the risk Of being right, o, rather
correct, we report to the friends of
:he Picllen railroad that the arrange
ments with the Augusta people for
tho completion Of the Pickens rail
road have failed to specify. Some
unforeseen difficulty has evidently
disappointed those who were trying
TO finish it up. All the work they
have done, which is by far the greater
part, was at stake, but it has been
lost to them, but OF course will be so
much gained to the company. There
is nothing left for the company but
to turn to its own resources and finish
1t up, and own and operate it. A
desperate effort will be made in &
short time to do the crowning act.

Abbcville is feeling it's keeping to
such al extent that it's people are
jumping right into the face of hard
times, and making an effort to build

commendable and public spirited, but
her citizens should be impressed
with the fact that there is more bust.

else. Such institutions are no longer

Our CongreysInan.

Representative Latimer, of South
Carolina, made his maiden speech in
the House Thursday. To those fa-
miliar with MIR. Latimer's political
career, the occasion was ono of con-
siderable moment Mr.. Latimer is a
lifelong democrat. He could, but
for his declination, have occupied
the position Of lieutenant governor of
his State, but as a matter Of fact, he
never held an Office until elected to
congress. In his brief campaign h.
mado only five or six speeches, aud
this fact, in connection with his non
participation in public affairs, led to
the expression of fear by the South
Carolina papers that he could not
represent his district intelligently or
satisfactorily in congress. Conse-
quenuy his maiden speech in the
House yesterday was listened to with
more than usual attention by the
South Carolina delegation in particu
lar aid the Southern members in
general. 1t was an able, lucid and
carefully prepared argument, to show
that II the secretary of the treasur,
had not publicly announced his deci
sion to redeem the silver certificate.
ID gold, silver would not have beer
placed on tho level of commodity
and fallen in value. Mr.. Latimol
touched upon other phases of his sub
!ect' but this WAS the main point u
his argument. At the conclusion OF
his speech he was personally compli
mented by Representative Bryan, OF
Nebraska; Kilgorc, of Texas, and
other well known members, who com
mented upon the effort rs one of the
strongest which had been delivered
during the debate.-. Washington Post
