the place not dreamed Of in his philos-

and strolled about in reckless amaze

overjoyed and declared that he would

Charleston and Railroads.

The Port Royal and Western
Carolina railroad is to be sold, and
it is admitted that great benefit
would result to Charleston could it
be controlled and operated in the
interest of that city. Charleston
could buy the road. but she won't
Charleston could do great many
things that she don't, and therefore
the dry rot has all but taken the
city. The humidity of the climate
has had saving effect, perhaps,
otherwise we are at a loss to under
stand the partial preservation of the
city We form our opinions from
what we have read at various times
in the Charleston papers, which we
believe is reliable information =
Sumter Item.
The Sumter Item has read moth
ing of this kind in the Charleston
Post. There are croakers in Charles
ton, but the Item, does Charleston an
injustice to quote them Or form an
opinion from them
We do not know that Charleston
will obtain control of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina rail
road, but this we do know: that
Charleston will have better railroad
facilities, that the need of them is
appreciated, and that a company
has been organized by many Of
the business men in Charleston who
are determined that the city shall
have them.
The Post earnestly hopes that it's
suggestions for the purchase of the

is meeting with the appreciation of
business men. But it may be that
the terms under which this road is to
be sold will greatly embarrass bid
ders, and it may not be to the inter
est of Charleston to endeavor to buy
it. However we can assure The
Item that the matter will be the SUBJ
iect of careful investigation and that
if the road can be had on advanta-
geous or even reasonable terms it
will become Charleston's property
We trust that the Sumter Item, and
other papers in the State will cease
to mourn for Charleston. Charleston
is all right. Charleston is doing
splendidly We have had no failures,
no fires, and no calamities lately in
Charleston, and the Item should not
listen to the howlers. When Sumter
people or Abbeville people or the
people of any other part of the State
want money for bank or mill they

Charleston for it And they will 60
away pleased and "healed
The Item, ought to know that to the
assistance of Charleston the financial
prosperity of the State is largely at
tributable. The Item ought to appre.

themselves to do away with this
class of law breaking, which is con-
Quoted generally with great secrecy
and from it's nature can only be
dealt with by the people who are
upon the train which is attemp pied
to be robbed. The service which is
most important is that which APP
pies TO the catching of the parties
rather than that which applies to
the preventing of the crime. In
the State of West Virginia there has
been one attempt in twenty years.
Within ten days after the offense

A short time since the COW was
sad; she scarce could raise her head
begad. Her hoof was sore, her tail
was limp, her name and bangs had
lost their orimp; and miles she
trudged from grass to drink, with
scarcely strength to wink. The
owner, too, looked blue and glum.
and cursed the cattle business some.
But since the rain the grass Is tall
and the COW can raise her head
and bawi, her hide is slick, no
bones protrude, she Frances like a
Hingwood dude. Her tail is sleek,
her eyes are bright, she snorts and
dares the crowd to fight. Her owner,
too, digs up the chlnk and asks the
boys to take drink. God bless
the rain, the gentle rain; it makes
man feel young again. He feels
like tossing up his hat, and howl
