AUGUSTA, EDGEFIELD, NEW
BERRY.

We publish in another column all
interesting interview with General
M. C. Butler on the trolley line ques-
tion. The people Of Edge6eld c. H.
may not approve, as he states, his
Augusta end of the proposition. There
seems to be much and >tron" opposl-
ton 10 a line from here to -Au-nSt;l
but that is a matter for the pt 'pIe
themselves to settle. His proposition
as to an outlet toward Newberry and
Greenwood meets their approval. We
need and must have northern out
let, that will relieve the situation as
nothing else Will do, and will secure
for us all possible transportation IA
cilities.-Edgefeld News.
Gen. Butler is entirely correct that
the road should come to NeTSerry
and touch the Seaboard at Whitmlre
and should go from Edgefeld on to
Augusta. The reason you are bot
tied now is you are the terminus
of a little branch line. Get busy and
touch the Coast Line and Southern
at Newberry and the Seaboard at
Whitmire. Concentrate your energies
on one proposition.

Der Of commerce taking hold Of this

presented to the railroad people that
it will not be necessary to invoke the

In this day those who travel want
all the comfort that is possible and
why Should they not have It. This
could be made a cafe car also and a
light breakfast and lunch could be
served between Charleston and Green

Let the matter be brought to the at

if they believe it is the desire Of the
patrons of the road such a car will
be put in service.

 The jury went before the Board of Pardons and asked that that board recommend communication. Headed by their foreman, B. B. Smith, the jurors said that had they known of the new evidence their verdict would not have been for the death penalty.
 The Board of Pardons therefore made the recommendation and it was largely on this account that the Gov ernor issued the order for commu- tation.

David Beeman. the Montgomery county wife murderer. will not hang today, according to the sentence Of the criminal division of the City court of Montgomery.
 Yesterday morning. after mature consideration of the case, Governor B. R. Conner decided to commute the sentence against the negro and he will spend the rest of his days at hard labor for the State.

 The jury returned q verdict of gull ty of murder in the first degree and fixed the punishment at death, not withstanding his plea for mercy.
