From Former Citizen Of Anderson
County.


CANE CREEK. Ala, Nov. 25th, 1857.
Mr. Editor: Ithas been some time since
contributed any news to your paper from
this part of cur moral vineyard, and think
ing that perhaps some CT my old South
Carolina friends would like TO hear from
me, send few lines to von and all the
rest. am in good health and weigh 225
pounds. l made q very good crop this
year and am doing very we'll, considering
Mckinley prosperity. l have Travelled
over q large portion cf Calhoun County
recently and find chat crops, ss general
thug are short everywhere. We are hav-
ing long dry spell Of weather; people in
some places are forced TO haul water some
distance for their stock. Everything is
dull among the farmers, caused by the
gold standard policy and the wave of Nc
Kinley prosperity that is prevailing all
over our County. but Beat S is all right.
Mckinley did not get a single vote in our
Beat, and as much as he could he kept his
prosperity from among US. Good luck to
all of you, reserving good share for my
self and Democratic friends in Beat S.
san ~. Yours for Bryan in 1900.

Death OF Mr.. Griffin.

On the morning of Nov. 81, at 8 O'Clock,
at the home of Mr.. W. G Lee, in Bolton.
the spirit of Mr.. J. L Griffin quietly and
peacefully passed from this earth to the
world beyond. His death was not unex
pected. as his friends had realized for some
time that death would soon claim him as
his victim. lie was the Oldest son of
Marion and Lou Griffin, both deceased.
and was just 80 pears old. He leaves three
sisters and Eve brothers TO mourn his loss
Not only will he be missed by them but
by large circls of friends. He was a
warm hearted, generous, unselfish young
man. and was held in high esteem by all.
During his long illness he frequently ex-
pressed his willingness to die, and spoke
of his end with perfect composure. His
brothers and sisters hGve the blessed as
sursDce that he has entered into rest and
are comforted in the hope Of meeting him
in Heaven. On Sunday evening at 3
o'clock. after appropriate funeral services
conducted by Rev. w. b. Hawkins, his
remains were consigned to their last rest
ing place at Dorchester Church. Thus
Zone by one earth's ties are broken
AS our best friends pass away,
And the hopes so fondly cherished
Bud and BIO SOM to decay"

Murderl This is a terrible word.
From the day when that awful TRACE
dy was enacted upon the threshold of
the creation of man when, the voice of
the blood of Abel cried unto the Lord
from the ground, this word has come to
us freighted with everything horrible
and revolving. Yet, to-day, after cen
turies of mental and moral training,
and while we boasta civilization never
before attained by man, disregard for
the sacredness of human life is preva-
lent to an alarming extent, and con-
tempt for civil government appears to
be on the increase. Homicides in the
South, yea, in our very midst, are of
frequent occurrence and unless the
law-loving and law-abiding men of our
country, in whose hands is the making
and enforcing Of the law, arouse
themselves and In exercising their
high jury privileges bring about more
convictions, murder will soon run
rampant over the land and terminate
in the overthrow Of all law and gov
.ernment. We ask the attention of
the reader to an article appearing else
where in this issue, written by Mr..
Edward McCrady, Of Charleston, and
entitled "Why Shed Each Other s
Blood This article is full Of infor-
nation concerning homicides in the
South, the causes, and Of good advice
as to the best means of putting stop
to them. This is a splendid article
and should be read By every man in
terested in the well being Of society
and law.

Black Diamond Railroad.

The Knoxville (reun.N Tribune, Of No
2lst, says:
Col Albert L. Boone has gone to Eu-
rope.
Although the Colonel will barely meet
with II. K II the Prince OF Wales, Col.
Boone carries batch of recommendations
from people as high in this country, or
higher, as the prince stands in j ohm Bulls
laud.
Col. Boone has sailed across the briney
deep for the purpose of selling tho bonds
of the Black Diamond Railway and he
expects to be highly successful in his VEN
ture.
He carries letters of recommendation
from President Mckinley, Hon. John
Sherman, Governor Bushnell, of Ohio,
and others almost equally distinguished.
Col. Boone expecLA to be in Europe six
weeks. He is heading directly tor Lon
don, where he thinks he will make his
deal.
Reports have been circulated and pub
lished by an afternoon paper to the effect
Chat it was quite likely that Col. Boone
would be in the city by the 9th instant,
aud also that Knoxville aud Kuox County
would be asked Tor large appropriation
for the Black Diamond road President
M. L. Ross, or this division o.. the road.
told a reporter for the Tribune last night
that he he'd heard nothing OF any such
intention and that Col. Boone had never
mentioned anything to this effect 10 him
personally or in any CORES poncence which
they had had.
Mr.. Ross further stated that he had no
doubt but that the road would be built
now, and that construction would begin
first on this division from .Jeliico TO Knox
vile about March !.
The affairs of the Black Diamond are
nov nearing an important crisis. The
surveys through Kentucky are al made,
except south from Cynthiana, and Engi-
nser Carter is ready to go to bridge build-
ling. Mr.. Carter will bs in Knoxville very
soon 10 locate the two bridges that the
Black Diamond is to build across the Ten.
nessee River here.
Four additional corps of surveyors are
to be put in the field next week operating
through Ohio and Indiana, as far north as
Columbus.

William G. Whitney returned to
New York from Europe last week and
expressed his views upon the politi-
cal situation as follows: "Restora-
tion Of the Democracy to power de-
pens on. the party itself. If harmony
comes it will win. should say that
the tendency of Democratic thought
is toward restoration ofharmony.
To that extent the status Of the par
ty as political organization is i'm
proved" !" Iu reply to the question,
"Does the complete restoration OF
harmony in the Democratic party de-
pend upon a change in the issues up
on which it's national battle was fought
last year?' Mr.. Whitney said: Il
believe the issues will be changed. .

The approaching session Of the
Legislature promises to be long one.
The great bone Of contention will, of
course, be the dispensary law, but be-
sides that educational matters, taxa
zion and the phosphate situation will
come in for a large share Of argument.
This will be the last session in which
Legislators may sit more than forty
days with pay, and the prospects are
that they will be engaged considera-
bly, over that time. Some we'll posted

The Savannah Me,cs very ssnsibly
remarks: "The dispatches from time
to time tell Of things done by the
Bryan Democrats and the sound
money Democrats. There should be
no such thing as classification or dis
tinctior among Democrats. Just
plain, straight-away Democrats, with
out any prefix or qualification, is the
right sort of thing. The differences
and distinctions should be wiped out
before the beginning Of another cam
paign."

Attention, Taxpayers /.

NE. EDITOR: If you think it will be in
teresting and profitable reading, please say
that only about one-fifth OF the Taxpayers
have received their receipts, and remind
al concerned that the Legislature will not
be in session to extend the time. 1t now
seems likely that for the last few days
there will be such crowd rs to make pay
ing taxes more unpleasant duty. And
ifyou have space please ask landlords il it
will not be to their Interests to urge ten
ants 10 pay in time and save penalty and
costs for harder times.
Yours truly,

The feeling is gaining ground
among humane people OF the State
that the Legislature should pass bill
authorizing the establishment of sep
arate white and colored Juvenile re-
formatories. For the reason that it
is pity to imprison children among

other State in the Union except this
