The election occurs on Wednesday--*
w* ek from yesterday. The friends of tbe
old tick-tare actively at work and the

o; the independent movement. Upwards
o' 600 names w< re on tbe registered vo

put bis name on tbe list has pledged his
support to the old ticket.
A committee of Democrats will wait on
'Cap*. (Jordon ntuf Col. Reilly this
morning with tho petition,
and will urge their candidacy. While
neither of tbe gentlemen have orieuly
sitd they w.-.u ; d run, 1' is understood that
both of them will. Mr. Cartridge is not
in he cit', but bts friends say that ho
will not decline. Messrs. (Jordon and
iJte ily, it is understood will aunouuce
T eir candidacy to-day.
A prominent Knight of I.ahor who has
tvv n moat active in politics said last

Another said (bat a part of
tne old ticket will be elected anyway,but
'that the Knii'hts and 1 quor dealers will

K nights have no fault to find with the old
hioktt. Tney believe it is made up of (good

Ithey are pul out by tbe Knights party,

WIGGINS FAILS AGAIN.
His Direful Pmphecy for Sept. 20
Unfulfilled.
Tbe was-to have-been eventful “Sept.
29” came and went the same as any
other day without anything like an earth
quake h) aavo Wiggins’ reputation and
let him out of the scrape tbat be lias got
iDto. There were a good many nervous
people, though, who breathed easier last
night than they did during the day. The
colored people are not the on 1 v ones whosp
fears were excited. A good many innocent
white talks felt like forgiving Wiggins
when the clock struck 12 last night and
tbe day’s suspense was ended.
There was not the teeling of alarm
among the colored people that, there
was two weeks ago. ll was evident,
though, that most of them bad
something on their minds. The colored
churches wore crowded last night and the
services lasted until nearly midnight.
The attendants were all terribly in earn
est. The preachers have been reaping a
rich harvest during the past month, and
the memberships of aii the churches have
been greatly swelled. As on ■ earnest ex
horter ea'ti": “Ebry shake am good for
titty souls.”
The negroes have not placed much faith
in tiie Liberty county woman’s predic
tion that the world whs coming to an end
on Sept. 29. When questioned as to this
their almost invariable reply was: “Dat
ooman’s perdiction don' worrv toe, case I
know she don’ know no mo’ ’bout it dan 1
does, elieti ef she and and die and cum hack
ter life agin. Don’ de Bible say dat not
eben de angels in heaven know wen dat
day am gwine ter be, an’ 1 knows dat
ooman don’ know mo’ dan de angels.”
Only one darkv was spen wbo was
firm in his belief that yesterday would be
the end of all things, lie was so Mire of
this that he had drawn all bis money out
of the bank and given it to tbe church,
saying tbat it soou would be of no use to
him.
Tbe fact that Wiggins bad settled on
Sept. 29 for hts great earthquake caused
more uneasiness than tbe fear of the
millennium, for the earthquake is some
thing that, is fresh in their memories and
whose power has been recently expe
rienced. Tbe majority were on toe look
out tor a good shake, and would not have
bei n surprised to have seen one of much
greater severity than any yet felt v
All of t.fiom bad their ears open* for the
first sound of Gabriel’s horn, and when
night came a good many were disap
pointed because it did not blow.
“It mayn’t be ton late yet,” said an old
colored woman on her wav home from
church. “1 knowsroy lime’s come when
ther Lor’ gits ready, en 1 don’t fee! no
wise oneasv.”
Aside from the leeling of uncertainty
that prevailed among them there was
very little said by the colored people
about the ’quake. It was a subject tbat,
they did not like to talk about, too freely
until the time lor the “shaking up” was
past.
BEAUFORT COUNTY’S TRADE.
The New Steamer Line Between
Savannah anil tho Sea Islands.
The Morning News had a number of
pleasant callers yesterday morning,
among them its old-time friend, Capt.
T. W. Willett, now of the steamer Grace
Pitt, of the now line to Beaufort, 8, C.
It is just twenty years, when be was mas
ter of the ship lon, a regular packet be
tween this port oad Liverpool, that the
late Col. W, T. Thompson, then editor of
the Morning News, made a voyage with
him toEurope. Time, however, has dealt
kindly with Capt. Willett, and he is still
as energetic and enterprising as ever,
and is now, and has been for a
number ot years, interested in several
business enterprise* in South Carolina.
Tne increasing prosperity ot Beaufort and
the adjacent country having made it
necessary that that city should have bet
ter business facilities, Capt. W illelt pro
poses to supply them by anew steanib 'at
line to this city. The greater part of the
Northern freight for Beaufort is now
shipped via Charleston. Savannah, how
ever, is much nearer to Beaufort than
Charleston, and its numerous steamship
lines afford such superior facilities forget
ting goods quickly that it is expected that
with a regular line of good steamers,
making tri-weekly or daily tripe the mer
chants of Beaufort and intermediate
places will order their goods shipped via
Savannah. Tbe trade of Beaufort coun
ty is quite valuable to Savannah and it,
will pay our met chants to make an effort
to secure more ol it by supporting a line
of good steamers aud sending their travel
ers ntwong the business men “on the
other aide of the river.”

Montgomery's Investment.
During the past year Montgomery in
vested $300,000 in a further extension of
the Montgomery and Florida railway.
Tbe Southern railroad was built twenty
miles Into the country south of us and
there it stopped. Last winter the Presi
dent, Dr. Letirand. in company with Mr.
Henry Moses and Col. John D. Roque
more, went to New Y’ork and succeeded
in making arrangements by which tire
road would be extended to Chattahoo
chee, in Florida, provided the cit,zone of
Montgomery would give $30,000 for the
first thirty miles and the country certain
donations’of land. The city raised the
$30,600, and the read is now being built
i anidly toward its destination. The t"tal
investment to the fi:ty-m!!e pest, now al
most in sLbt, i* $300,000, or SIO,OOO a
mile on tbe tbirt.y-mile extension.
The Ppionylvai ia tie-.riling South.
A Philadelphia dispatch says there is
no longer any doubt that the Pennsylva
nia railroad is on the eve of a great ven
ture in Ihe South, which will make tbe
company as important here as it is in tbe
East and West. By building, buying and
leasing lines, it is probable tbat in the
next ten years ihe Pensylvania will reach
every important city in the South, as it
does now in the North and West. Until
recently there have been no great rail
road systems in the South. At the pres
ent time the Pennsylvania Company has
a line to Norfolk, to Quantico, a few miles
below Washington, and It reaches all
Darts in the South by connections, rather
than by lines of its own. When the grant
project Is carried into effect, tbe Pennsyl
vania road will recover any business It
may bave lost by the multiplication ot
trunk lines. Preliminary survey* of rail
roads in various parts of tbe South are
now being made by Pennsylvania engi
neers.
