GREENwooD's NEW RAILROAD.


Through TO Greenwood" that is the leat
lines of an article In the State OF Jan. 24th
stating that Governor Evans received a tele
gram from Col. Mike Brown. who has been ir
New York for sometime in the interest OF tht
Carolina Midland railway, which runs from
Allendale to Severn. to the effect that he had
completed all arrangements to have the road
looks like another road to Greenwood. When
completed, there will be railroad running
through every section OF the proposed Green
wood county. Surely there could not be
Jurors and witnesses could attend court al
Green wood and most OF them go home TO bis
wife and children at night and back to court
next morning In time for business.

THE D1sPENsARY.
In an article In the Greenvllle News on tie
dtspensary, he gives some good advice to any
who may heed 1t. Among other things he
says: II Green wood people wish to keep
U
they had better vote down the dispensary.
He says 1t will increase rather than diminish
the blind tiger nuisance. Again he says: So
far as the revenue part OF the dispensary is
1t a delusion and snare, judging from the
experience of Greenville. AS said last week
II 1t was run according TO law 1t would not
pay expenses. The election which was to
have taken place last Thursday on this sub.
ject has been postponed. suppose 1t will be
held when we get the new election laws in op-
Grafton. The only disappointed ones as we
can see are the ones that wanted to be dis
penser.
In visiting the old Tabernacle cemetery
near nkesbury, 1t is sad to see the grave OF
that distinguished soldier and '76 hero, In fact
you cannot see 1t at all, for there Is not the
slightest mark or trace to indicate which is
General Mart Gary's grave. II no one else
will. suggest that the State put something 10
the head OF bis grave to show which 1t Is.
BISHOP HAYGooD.
notice in the Southern Christian Advocate
Of last week the death OF Bishop A. g. Hay
good, Of the Southern Methodist Church. A
good and great man Is gone TO bis reward.
The whole N: E. Church. South, will mourn
his death. Yes, other churches will join the
Methodist In their sorrow. II means some-
thing for a man to die. 1t means a great deal
for such a man as Bishop Haygood To die.
must n % die. " He He was born at WatknsvIile, c Gas @
November 10th, 1889. and died January 10Th,
1896, at his home In Oxford, Ga. He was not
an old man, being only In his 57th year. He
was bright and shining light In his church.
His last work was at the Arkansas Confer
ence. He gave. the class Of young preachers
admitted into the Conference some good ad-
vice, seeming 10 realize that his days were
few. Who Will his mantle fall upon?
GREENWOOD NOT BAD.
Judge Austin had before his court last Sat.
urday two transient painters, ]. B. Love and
B. d. Glymph, charged with selling whiskey.
said he was employed by Glymph and sold it
for him. Glymph denies the charge, but ad-
mts that the whiskey was his. Judge Aus
tin held Glymph for trial at next term OF
court, and Love as witness. II strikes me
hoth should have been held. But then Jury
in Abbeville don't convict for selling whis-
key. What Is the use for Green wood or any
other place to bother sending the cases TO
court. If / mistake not they had three Stale
constables at Abbeville and they failed to con-
vict, yet Green wood Is said TO be (by some of
her enemies) the worst blind tiger den TO be
found. Sir, heard q State constable say last
Thursday (when he heard that the election In
Green wood had been pOstponed) that they
would have to put Greenwood under metro
poltan police law. Greenwood has q good
marshal, and l have seen as many as three
State constables here at one time. If they
can't catch the tiger, 1t is very good evidence
that we are not 80 bad as some would have
You believe.
The present council has reelected MIR. j. B.
Riley chief Of police, but require him to move
in town. He makes good one. M. s.. e.
