lima" Does Some Plain Talking.
Rev Richard Carroll. colored who
as agent for Sunday school missions
IN South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
lda' mas spent months each year trav-
erlnS In the North, and who has been
ueVotlng himself to establishing at
Coiumbla, s. c.. a reformatory for
young criminals, recently made an adj
dress at Sumter which is creating much
comment. Carroll is called THE
booker Washington of South Caro-
ina To his Sumter audience, he
said:
The negro was made citizen Of The
United States, with the right to vote
and hold office. He exercised this right
and the government in the South was
put on his shoulders. He was not pre-
pared to bear the great burden at the
time. He was ignorant, inexperienced
and poor; consequently he failed
The race did not begin right by lay
ing the foundation deep down on the
rocks of permanency. We Went into
politics when we should have gone to
the fields; we went into Office when we
to making and administering laws when
we should have been studying law;
we Went to fighting Southern white
people when we should have made
friends Of them. The race was badly
led, for it went against it's best in
terests. Can it be possible for ignor-
ance to govern and rule intelligence?
Can poverty control wealth? Is it not
true that weakness must give way 10
strength?
We are in too big a hurry. The boys
want to be men before they are TWEEN
ty-one, and marry before they are able
to take care of wife. The preachers
want the title Of D. D. before they
know divinity, and the lawyers want
LII. d. before they understand the law.
Nearly all who graduate in the English
course must be addressed as pro
lessor" We want a biography before
we have lived; we want to be pastors
when we ought to be in the pasture.

for fuel can be obtained until the other

but JEFF took it upon himself to cut
what fuel was needed, gathering at the

Hon. George NJ Bowers Inflicts a WouL
Upon His Brother, John S. Bowers.
Berkeley Democrat
Between the hours OF end 9 O'Clock
on Tuesday night last, people residing
in the reighborhood Of King and
Raleigh streets were startled by war
CT words between Hon. Geo. M. Bowers
and his brother, John S. Bowers, who
are not on amicable terms. This
wordy contest soon resulted in fisti-
cuff, in which a severe wound was in
ncted by Hon. Geo. NJ Bowers upon
his brother, extending almost from eaI
to ear. So severe was the injury that
the services Of Dr. Morrison were re-
quired to dress the wound, as the in
jured brother bled profusely. No ar
rests were made.
This is the same gentleman who is a
candidate for fish commissioner of the
United States.
This much discussed occurrence
seems to have been entirely overlooked
by our contemporaries. The public
can form their own conclusions as tC
the reasons for such an omission OF
genuine news.

ANOTHER RAILROAD CHARTERED

Srecial to The Register
Charleston, w. Va. January 25.-The
Secretary of State has issued a certifi-
cate of incorporation to the Deepwater
Railway Company which proposes to
construct and operate a railroad be-
ginning at a point on the Kanawha
and Michigan railroad opposite Deep
water, in Fayette county, and run by
the most practicable route up the
Lower Loup creek and across the
mountains to Glen-Jean, on Upper
Loup creek The principal Office of
the company is to be at Ansted, Fay
cite county. The incorporators are
w. n. Page and Raleigh c. Taylor. OF
Ansted; G. w. Imboden, of Fayette-
vile; Joseph Berry, of Fire Creek, and
S. R. Ransom, of Staunton, Va.
1t is understood that this company
will utilize the railroad already con-
structed and in operation for seven
miles from Deepwater up the Lower
Loup creek. The road will go through
the large tract of $4,000 acres of rich
coal and timber lands known as the
Wilson survey, and owned by Abram
5. Hewitt and others of New York.
The owners of this tract have now one
of the largest saw mills in the State
constructed and in operation, on the
line of this road four miles from
Deepwater. The land along the en-
tire line of the road from Deepwater
to Glen-Jean, distance of about
sixty miles. is heavily timbered and
undertake with thick veins of coal.

Amid the all-pervading silence he
was sensible Of low solemn murmur
like that of a distant ocean. At first
it seemed to be the voice of silence
itself, but it steadily increased in vol
ume until the roar became overpower-
ing. Startled and frightened, he lay
STILL wondering what it could mean,
or whether his senses were deceiving
him. Then he suddenly remembered
the vast masses of ice and snow which
lowered above them all through the
day; he recalled the stories of the
glaciers and avalanches he had read,
and to which Tim McCabe had referred
as sometimes overtaking travellers in
this part of the world.
He knew what it meant and, leaping
from his couch, he shouted:

ment as adopted contemplates the erection

mounted by two bronze figures representing
Sir William johnson and the Indian King
Hendrick, when he demonstrated to Sir
William the danger Of dividing his forces.
The monument is to cost $4,000 and is
