GENERAL HEMPHILL.
Some Facts In His Long and Faithful
Public Career.

The primary election came off on Tuesday
Of last week. The result is known to the
world.
The candidates for Senatorial honors were
equally pronounced in their allegiance 10 The
Reform movement, and both were pledged
against the new county movement, and thus.
on the surface, In 80 far as politics were con-
cerned, there was practically no difference
between the candidates.
The whole question, therefore, as to the
election or defeat OF either was their person.
al popularity or unpopularity.
Barring unintentional errors and ON mlsslons
the following is believed TO be correct state
ment:
rate box in the election Of 1876, but at that
time the county was unit In It's fight against
Republican rule, and we presume that Green
wood may have given a full vote for General
HemphIll In that contest but we have the
figures at each box at every recurring election
since 1876.
Senator Hemphill has had a remark able
career in public life, and as we think there
has been q common misapprehension OF the
facts which led up TO his defeat In the race for
reelection to the Senate, We have thought
proper TO review the recent past In connec.
lion with recital OF some facts In his his.
tory from 1876 up to this time.
BY examining our files 1t is seen that he
was one Of the chosen leaders of those who
declared for white supremacy In the cam
paign OF 1876, and in the first primary election
that was ever held In Abbeville county, he
received 1,465 votes out OF total Of about
two thousand, being second only to Hon. W..
X. Bradley, who headed the ticket with vote
OF ,495.
Standing shoulder TO shoulder with the peo-
pie In that memorable contest, and the senti-
ments and feelings Of the people OF that day
and time, General Heinphill received about
three-fourths OF the Democratic votes of the
county-l465.
The same year, 1876 DR.. ]. G. Maxwell was
elected Senator u NIL out two years OF the
unexpired term OF Hon. Jerry Hollinshead,

VANDALIA LINE.
Best Line to Cincinnati.
Is II Political Warfare Only.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
L see in to-day's Journal that J. L. john
son, Of Portland, is trying to pull the wool
over the eyes of the general public by say
ing that the A. p. A. does not antagonlZe
the Catholic Church from any religious
standpoint. but from a political point. If
that true why does s. ID. Symmes, of
Crawfordsville. State secretary of the A. p
A, flood the State with the following:
THE Catholic priests are deceivng and
robbing the poor people by saying mass for
pulling the souls of the departed out of pur-
cake and into a cup of Catawba wine, and
cake and wine are the real body and blood
soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. All fair
minded priests are fully aware that the
Romish doctrine OF the mass, forgiveness of
sin and purgatory is a base fraud started
by the Romish church for the purpose of
controlling the faithful and getting the
money from the poor people"
Now, up about Portland the foregoing
may look to some people like "going for
Rome on political grounds. but to every
person outside Of the A. p a. il looks just
what ii is-the ranting Of persons just lit
tie off. Just think of Father Sherman and
thousands of others similarly situated Civ
ing up their stations In life and their wealth
robbing and deceiving the poor people.
After reading the above will the members
of the a. Il. A still insist that they are
not fighting the Church of Rome on re-
hgious grounds? JACOB REF.

MORE LOCAL FREIGHT
Feature of Railway Traffic That
Is Encouraging to Officials.
1t Pays Better Than Through Shipments
on Which the Rates Are Now Very
Low-The Weekly Statement.

The train records show that in the week
ending March "a there were received and
forwarded at indianapolis II, 165 loaded cars.
While this is an increase of but five cars
over the movement of the week ending
March IL, il means a much more favorable
exhibit of earnings, a large percentage
of the business was of local character, not
grain carried 10 the seaboard on a low rate,
as the shipments show that in east-bound
business fully so per cent. less grain was for
warded last week than in either of the
three preceding weeks. East-bound the
shipments Of -four and corn products and Of
dressed meats, live stock and produce have
been as heavy as for some weeks past, but
In grain the tonnage fell off sharply. West
bound tonnage compares favorably with
last year, so far as high-class freights are
concerned; in the lower class not in many
years has the tonnage been as light, and
no increase is looked for until there is
greater demand for iron structural work
and building supplies. In local business
there has been a seasonable increase. which
denotes that manufactures are starting up.
The shipments of agricultural and harvest
implements are now an important item.
There is heavier movement of pipe for wa
ter and gas mains, and like improvements
which begin with the spring or the year,
and local business Is helped by the large
quantities of material being shipped in here
for street improvements and building pur-
poses. Business on Commission row mas
materially increased. Local side tracks are
full OF cars laden with potatoes, cabbage
and other produce handled by the commls-
sion men. The lumber men are stocking up,
much moe activity. Below is given the
number of cars received and forwarded at
this point for the week ending March a.
compared with the corresponding week
of the two preceding years:
