A BIG SCHEME.

The information comes from
Washington, D. c., that the great
Southern railway is soon to be
equipped with electric power and
rolling stock, al the lines of this
immense system are to be operated
and run by electricity. The scheme
is attributed to Pierpont Morgan
the great banker.
"N1ore than $4,000 miles of
railrods come within the scope OF
Mr.. Morgan's great plan, stretch
ing from Boston to Portland, Ore,
and in the South to Florida and
Mississippi. These roads together
represent capitalization of $4,016,
6S1,259. Roughly estimated, the
cost of electrical equipment on this
27,S67 miles of road will be $547,-
$4,000,
Practically the whole of this
amount of $547, $4,000 will pass
through the treasury of Mr.. Morgan
s electrical works, leaving there
in the shape of the manufacturerE
profit 25 per cent, or $136,SS5,OOO
The patents for the the system
which will bring in this princely
revenue are valued now at $751;
100000.

When the Christ, my Lord, hung dying

When the Christ, my Lord. hung dying:
Dying on the shameful tree,
Men in all their madness Knocked Him
Yet 10 word at all said He.
But when at His side sinner,
Hanging there in shame to die,
Pleading, sought His loving favor,
Swiftly came loves glad reply.
'When thou comest to thy kingdom,
Lord" he cried, remember me-
"Yea, to-day, with Me in glory"
Jesus answered, "thou shalt be-"
Was not this most wondrous pity,
SO to bless a dying thief;
Fen amid His own deep anguish,
Thus to give soul relief?
Fell it in the highest heaven,
Tell it iii the depths below,
Tell it to the lost and outcast,
Tell it in the haunts of woe:

Let the blessed tidings go:
He who asks Saviour's mercy
Shall the Saviour's mercy know.

county of Edgefeld, will yor
issue the writ?
1t is the wish of the people of
Edgefeld that the Hon. J. NJ.
Gaines should relinquish all claim
to the office he now seeks to fill
and to which he is not legally enti~
tied, and he has h'en repeatedly
urged to do so by the press and
people of the county of Edgefeld,
but be refuses to do so, and unless
be sees fit to do so, or some action
is taken in the matter he can
usurp this office for three years.
We feel fully assured that you
would have no other desire than
to do exact justice towards the
county of Edgefeld, in her newly
formed conditions, and all that
we ask is that you place US in a
position where we can test our
rights; this can be done by issuing
the writ of election, and we then
can nominate candidate for the
State senate from Edgefeld at
the same primary in which we
will nominate one for the United
States senate, elect him, give him
his certificate of election, send him
to the capital and let the senate
say whether or not he or Mr..
Gaines is entitled to the seat in
that body as senator from Edge
field. If they decide that Mr..
Gaines is entitled to the seat, then
all we'll and good, no harm has
been done by issuing the writ, if
not, then Edgefeld has secured
her rights.
If the writ of electionia not issued,
we will have no opportunity to
try our cause at the next session
of senate, or if we do and should
win, we would have no represent
alive there from this county or
from Greenwood county.
Please reply at your earliest
convenience, and let us know if
you will issue the writ of election
on proof of the facts as stated
above. Yours truly,
NJ. P. WELLS.

~--~-' M. Is. McSWeeaoy, fresl
dent of South Carolina Senate
Hampton, S. C. Dear Sir: A
the next session of the State senate
of Sor Carolina, of which body
you b the distinction of being
the president, if present conditions
prevail, the county of Edgefelo
will have no representative, when
the Constitution of the State says
"The senate shall be composed OF
one member from each county"
The reason of this status of
affairs is that by virtue of an act,
entitled Gan act to establish
Greenwood county," passed by the
general assembly of South Carolina
and approved on the March I'd,
1897, certain portion of the old
county of Edgefeld, in which is
situated the residence of the Hon.
J. M. Gaines, the former senator
of Edgefeld and Greenwood when
they were one, was incorporated
in the new county of Greenwood,
when and whereby the said J. M.
Gaines. became a nonresident of
the county of Edgefeld, and is
thus by operation of law disqualif-
ed from holding an office belonging
to Edgefeld county.
Greenwood has elected her new
senator in accordance with her
rights in special election as pro-
viled by law and what we herein
propose to respectfully ask is that
Edgefeld be allowed to do the same
thing.
For the county of Greenwood
to have two senator's in The next
Legislature and the old county of
Edgefeld to have none to plead
hear cause in senate that is to
make laws to govern the conduct
of her citizens, and to levy taxes
upon the property of her people, is
a violation of her constitutional
rights and q gross wrong upon her.
1t is taxation without representa-
ton.
AS you, of course, we'll know
that in case of a vacancy in the
senate from any county the
president of the senate is required
by law to issue writ of election
to fill such vacancy, Now the
question is, IS there a vacancy?l
[ know rou would not hesitate to
