The BIue R,dse X abroad.

ANDERSON, s. G.. Sept. 27.-It looks
very much like there Is something IN
the reported porject o. Vanderbilt to
complete the Blue ridge Railroad. Rs
ceiver Averill, of the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Railroad, has had
conference with him. The Augusta
Chronicle of the 18th inst, says: Mr.
Vanderbilt seems to mean business
about the Blue Ridge Railroad. Recel.
yer Averill, of the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Railroad, has had a
conference with him and the plan seems
to be we'll on foot. The Augusta Cllro-
nicsle of Monday, 18th inst, says: "Iae
news first published by the Chronlcle
last week that George Vanderbilt, VINO
owns thousands of acres of land IN
North Carolina, is going to turn MS at'
tention to railroad building, looking TO
a direct line as means of getting out
much of the timber Of that section
of the South, has caused consIderaole
interest. The scheme OF Mt. Vander'
bilt If carried out Will add quite
splendid line of railway to the South,
for while he is not after building. any
considerable road In point of miles, 1t
will, when finished, be one OF the most
desirable connecting links for the
South Atlantic coast ald the North
west. A direct line from Knoxville to
Anderson, S. G., is said to be the plan
and it Is interesting to know that a
great part OF the distance between
these two points is already graded. The
road, when finished, in connection with
tho Knoyvilla Gumharland Gan and
Cincinnati Railroad and the Port Royal
and Western Carolina, will shorten the
distance between Cincinnati and the
Southern coast 100 miles. Receiver
Averill, of the Port Royal and Western
Carolina road, who Is said to have been
on q conference with Mr.. Vanderbilt
concerning this natter, passed through
the other day In his private
car on his way to Port Royal. In case
the deal goes through Augusta will
have a direct line from the Northwest" :"

DIFFERENT MOTIVES.
Why Carpenter and the Atkiusous Were
Reoomm snd ed to Mercy.

COLUMBIA, S. e., Sept. 26.-Governor
Tillman's combinations of Carpenter,
the Edgefield murderer, Is arousing a
good deal of comment in the newspa.
pers hostile to the Governor take up the
Governors statement that he commut.
ed Carpenters sentence because the
jury recommended him to mercy and
say thatin the case of the Atkinsons,
hanged in Fairfield last week, the jury
also recommended them to mercy. The
cases are not at all similar. In the
case of Carpenter the jurors state that
they would have brought In different
verdict had they known the result of
their verdict would have been the
hanging of Carpenter and Murrell.
The foreman of the ] ury in the case of
the Atkinsons has written Governor
Tillman the following letter sho wing
that the motive of the recomm sn1ation
to mercy In the case of the Atkinsons
was entirely different from that of the
Edgefeld murderers:
Woodward, S. c., Sept. 1, 1891.
Governor B. r. Tillman, Columbia, S. C..
Dear Sir: have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your favor of the
18th ultimo, desiring me to give you
some information as to what Influenced
the jury in the case of the Atkinsons to
recommend them to mercy. In re-.
sponse to your inquiry I beg to say
that this recommendation to mercy
was not because the jury entertained a
shadow Of doubt as to their guilt, for
thep considered the evidence against
they risOners conclu sive and were there
fore satisfied that they concocted and
eXected the diabolical crime with which
they were charged. Nor was 1t on &C.
count of any extenuating circumstances
connected with the murder. Ole of the
jurors while admitting that the prison.
ers were guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt said that he would not agree to
verdict of guilty unless they were re-
commended to the mercy of the court,
and gave his only reason that they we're
Young men and poor. Believing that
unless they were recommended to
mercy mlstrial would result, which
we were exceedingly anxious to avoid
If possible, we yielded to this juror and
rendered a verdict Of guilty with re.
commenedation to mercy. I will fur
ther state that negro juror at first
was little reluctant in agreeing to a
verdict of guilty, which we attribute to
ignorance more than to a calm and
thoughtful consideration of the case.
He finally, however, because convinced
and agreed 10 verdict of guilty, with
recon- menistion to mercy. Trusting
that the above will be satisfactory and
that you will excuse delay In answer.
ing your letter which was brought
about by its being sent to Blackstock's
instead of WcodWsrd's, beg to remain.
Yours most obediently.

AmORNING PRAYER.

Strength for the day / humbly ask,
Faith in the coming morrow,
But not one drop of veal or woe
From future days to borrow;
I'll trust the hand that measures out
NY cup Of Joy or SORROW.
Strength for the fight l this day wage,
The victor's crown to wear It;
When wounded in the desperate fray,
Courage ask to bear it;
And Thou, dear Lord, to walk beside,
My day'smarch home to share it.
And when the day is past and gone,
My grateful heart upswelling,
A hymn of praise shall joyful raise,
Thy love and goodness telling;
I'll watt 1t up beyond the stars,
Where all my hopes are dwelling.
And when the last hard fight is done,
And death comes to relieve me,
Let not the hope which cheers me now
With mocking gleam deceive me;
But to Thyself. dear Lord, I pray
For Jesus sake, receive me!

total membership Of the House Is only
124, and there are yet IL counties to be

The jewish New Year.

The Isrealites Throughout the world
are preparing for tho sacred observance
of one of the most important holidays in
the Jewish calen !ar. It is the Now
Year which according to their record is
the 5655th year of the creation of tho
world. The New Year commences next
Sunday evening with the setting of the
sun at which time services will be held
in the Synagogues also on tho succeed
inc morning. In Hebrew the holiday
is called Rosh Hashans; meaning the
head or beginning Of the year and 1t
commentaries the creation OF the world.
By the observance of the New Year the
lesson is taught that God created all
things and that He is Lord and Master
over all creation and it is the duty OF
Hischildern to acknowledge His power
and obey His will. On New Years
Day the Israelites are reminded that
time is passing away and that they
should profit by the days the Lord has
given them. This holiday is alse known
by another nancy ONE Hazzickarone
or Day OF Memorial. By that is under
stood that the Hebrews should remem'
Der their acts of the past year, and try
to amend their conduct. There is still
another name by which the Naw Year is
known-Yome Teruah or day OF
Sounding the cornet or Shofar. which ID
made of rams horn, which We are
taught is to remind Us of Gods command
to Abraham to offer up his only son
Isaac, a sacrifice unto Him. The rams
horn reminds the people of Isreal OF that
event because God would not permit
Abraham to sacrifice his son, 30 he OF.
fered up q ram instead. The blowing OF
the cornet teaches a lesson of warning
to Jews that they have slnned and
should seek to make peace with God by
becoming truly penitent. So the Nav
Years days is the first of the ten pen
itential days which ends with tho day
of atonement or Yom Kippur.
During the penitential days 1t Is tho
special duties of all Hebrews to examine
we'll with ther conduct and prepare
themselves for the Day of Atonement.
On New Years special prayers OF a
three fold character, homage, remem.
berance and the sounding of the cornet
are offered. By the prayer of Homage
is the acknowledgement of God as the
king of kings and that full obedience ls
due Him. By the prayer of Remember
ance is meant Gods review OF action
and remembrance OF deeds, and the
sounding of tho cornet reminds them OF
the great day that is yet in store when
mankind will be free from siu md be.
come perfect in tho eyes Of God.

WHO SHALL JUDGE OF PARTY FEE

The Danville Star, whose editor was

| Sentinel, takes the little item endorsing

iels' political career, calling him "a polit-
ical weather vane" whose "principles are
defective"
He begins by saying that "it is not
likely that the former editor Of THE
GLOBE would have given his endorse
ment to these lines" We would like it
understood just here that the present
editor took neither the methods nor the
opinions of the old management when
be assumed control Of the paper.
The Star goes on eve quite we'll re-
member Mr.. Daniels connection with the
press of North Carolina, especially when
editor in chief of the Raleigh Chronicle,
which was about the last work Of any
importance he did from a political stand
point in the journalistic field" The
editor of the Star has probably forgotten
that the North Carolinian was in exis-
tence during the last campaign, and that
it was more widely circulated by the
democratic state committee than was any
other paper.
AS to the democracy Of Mr.. Daniels,
that has received sufficient endorse
ment. His policy of looking upon alli-
ancemen as the "erring brethren" Of the
party, was endorsed by the democratic
mass meeting which met in Commons
Hall in the autumn Of 1891. The nomi-
nation of Governor Carr in the conven-
ton of 1892 was an avowed concession
to the alliance wing Of the party. The
nominees of that convention were four
alliance democrats, and three straight
out democrats. Was this not a conces-
sion to democratic alliancemen? In the
campaign that followed the North Caro-
l~inian, Mr.. Daniels paper, was scattered
far and wide by the democratic state ex
ecutive committee. When the legisla-
ture met in 1898, the democratic caucus
endorsed him for public printer by an
overwhelming majority.
THE GLOBE is not fighting on politi
cal lines. 1t Is fighting for the good of
the people, without regard to party. |
But it does believe in printing the truth.
That is our reason for noticing the attack
of the Danville Star.
