Old Tunblin.

The Cumberland Gap road was sold
at Aiken yesterday at public outcry.
This sale may mean a great deal as to
the future of our town. A short con-
nection built from Edgefield to McCor-
mick or Abbeville or Greenwood puts
the South Carolina road in connection
with almost the balance of mankind.
Two lines have been anxious to buy
our railroad; the Southern, which our
readers are more familiar with as the
Richmond and Danville, and the South
Carolina road. If the South Carolina
road has secured the prize then con-
nection to Greenwood or Mccormick.
or Abbeville, as above stated, will give
Charleston an outlet to Atlanta and
the North, also to Knoxville by way of
Spartanburg and Ashville. 1t is ssaid
that the route from Atlanta to Char
lesion over such aline by way of Edge
field would be sixty miles shorter than
the distance between the same points
by way of Augusta. The first thing
Edgefield knows she will be on a grand
trunk line with thirty through freight
trains day.
Less than ten years ago we sat IN
our old office and predicted banks and
railroads and factories and OIL mills
for our town when we had not even
anucleus of any of these things, and
10! they are all here to-day.
We continue to prophesy good
things.

THE NIGHT SESSION.

When the Convention reassem-
bed tonight Mr.. Frank Gary took
the floor and said that this morn
ing, when the gentleman from
Edgefeld made his explanation,
in his embarrassment it did not
occur to him to say anything fur
ther as to the explanation that bad
been made, but he now thought
that he should say something for
fear that he should be misunder-
stood by the gentleman and the
Convention. He wished to say
that he was entirely satisfied with
the explanation and accepted it in
the spirit in which it was offered.
After the explanation had been
made he desired to withdraw any
statement he might have made
that gave offence, aud hoped that
this withdrawal on his part would
be entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Field proposed an ordinance
as to defraying the expenses of
the Convention.

They need only only once to see it

for the outrages of Republicanism.
In a few years, the speaker said,
he would have disappeared from
the stage of action. Before he
quit public life he would like, if
possible, to do something for his
old mother State that would bene-
fit her for ages to come, and would
if possible, save his name from
oblivion. If he knew he had tc
be called away in the next ten
minutes, and were permitted tc
say to his fellow South Carolini.

most good for his State, with his
expiring breath be would who
helped to provide township gov,
ernment in the old State. HI
would like no better epitaph than
that here lies one who helped tc
provide for township government
for South Carolina. He hoped he
may have the sympathy OF the
body enough to insert provision
to leave it discretionary with the
Legislature to adopt the township
system if it saw fit, although he
believed it should be made man
datory. If the committee received
the plan ifavorably then the plar
would be perfected. The Legisla,
ture could provide for the duties o.

Secretary Morton has been diligent-

the recent advance OF prices of meat.
In looking over the figures he
says, zone notes considerable de.
cline of late years in the census for
cattle swine and sheep. On January
l, 1892, there were 37,651,293 oxen
and cattle, not milk cows, in the
United States: On January /, 1895,
there WE'RE 34,364,216, a diminutlon
of 3, 3,2S7,O77. With poor grass on
the ranges and the corn failure in
Nebraska Kansas, Iowa. Missouri
and Illinois last yeer, the number of
fat cattle would of course, be much
broken down beyond what might be
indicated by the diminution in the
general census of cattle. Again, as
if to aid in stiffening the market, our
exports of live stock are growing.
England is our heavy buyer. Our
exports of cattle in figures would
read like this: From New York
for the nine months ending March l,
1894. were shipped 1855 head.
