( The Seaboard Air Line Railroad i ha3 succeeded in getting possession i of Sidney Park in Columbia, for j trackage and depot purposes. The i sum of $30,000 has been paid to the ] city council cf Columbia and the ' railroad company holds the receipt of city Clerk and Treasurer Talley therefor. Henc? it is- a settled fact that this road will come to Columbia ' from Cheraw, via Camden. Common report has it, and the report has not been denied^ that it is the intention of the management of the Seaboard Railroad, to build an extension from Columbia to Aiken at once. Surveys looking to this end have been made in the southern portion of this county within seven miles of this place. As we understand the route of the proposed extension to Aiken, however, has not -been definitely settled upoD, hence it may be the means of doing much good to our people and save money to the railroad, by inviting the attention of the railroad authorities to au other route, by which their ends can be accomplished at a less expense and a far greater assurance of drawing support for the road after its completion and at the sametime lengthening the distance only a mile or so if any at all. There are seve ral admirable natural xidges leading by way of this town, any one of which can be utilized for railroad purposes at a very small expense. "When it reaches Lexington it will be found that this ridge continues until it reaches Aikeu. The country, along this roule is far advanced in agriculture and manufacture. Its lands are rich and fertile and productive, producing fruits, vegetables, cereals, cottoD, corn, pease, sugar cane and tobacco in great abundance. The back coun4? oo anrl fnrfilo IIJ 13 tv^uanj ao iiv.u uuv? ?.>v and will add considerable revenue to the road. At this point alone, there are paid for freights in round numbers S38,000 of which amount the factory companies pay about $20,000. The passenger business will greatly increase this amount lb is safe, however, to say that there is a freight and passenger business doee at this place amounting to at least $40,000 per annum. This sum will be greatly increased by the building of the Aiken extension of the Seaboard Air Line along the line mentioned. There is no doubt about there being a large and paying business for the road that will build along this route. We will have more to say on this subject from time to time, but in the meantime it will pay the Seaboard Air Line officials to look into the merits of thi3 route and we are convincad that they will be favorably impressed with the ability of the country through which the route passes to give the road a large support and hence it will be a paying investment. The proposition of Editor Gonzales to annex a portion of Lexington county to Richland and Columbia is not regarded at all seriously. ' It is looked upon as one of the State's inimitable jokes. There is ? nothing doing in politics; busi- 1 cess nas itiKtru us auuiuici > action; the excitement over the condemnation of Sidney Park has about subsided; the OSympia mill is a thiog of ! the future, and the spiudies of ibe ^ other mills are merrily bumming; ] the free bridge is not wanted: Columbia has purchased two fire alarm bell*: the City fathers have decided 1 to erect a ?10,000 city hall; it is too hot for billing and cooiDg; times are too hard for the young people to marry, and in this age of rapid pro- ( gress the people really haven't time to die; Ben Tillman has been cussed j from A to izzard so often, that really j this delightful and congenial pastime | of the talented and amiable young j editor of the State has become monotonous to him, and in order to find j some other source for the dis- j play of Lis wonderful gift of fun j , making he must have conceived this brilliant conception. Editor Gon- * zales seriously advocting the doctrine 1 of expansion! Preposterous! Why, it is undemocratic; it is in opposition ^ to the principle or trie Monroe doctrine, why?ei?er?er?Perish the ^ thought! I t Admiral Cevera, and the command ers of the Spanish fleet which was destroyed by Rear Admiral Schley, j while attempting to escape from j Santiago harbor, whose conduct dur- j ing that famous naval battle has been the subject of inquiry byspecial courtmartial, were acquitted j r and formally liberated on July Tih. j i An appropriate name for the new i county of magnificence demensions, J ? which has existence only on paper, 1 would be "Gonzales.'* "We only men- ? tion this because he is so greatly beloved by our people. Editor Gor zah s of the C 1 urn bin State and Sena'or Tillman, have 3een in the same boat for sometime jo far as their auti-< xpansion ideas ivere concerned Lot, at last, the strain has been too great for tbe Columbia Editor and he is now tryog to out do **Cdiley Headed Johnaie" and has announced himself a full tledged expansionist. He wants Columbia to expand over into Lexington, so that Lexingtoniaus will 3houlder a portion of the indebtedness of Columbia, which is now con siderable above the constitutional limit of 8 per cent of the taxable property of the city. This proposition is an illustration of the nursery rhyme of "Won't you walk into my parlor said the spider to the But we don't think Lexingtonians will accept the invitation. Ex Governor John Peter Richardsod, died in his home room at the Hotel Jerome, iu Columbia, last Wednesday night. He had been in failing health for some mouths, but at times had rallied to such an extent a3 to lead his friends to believe that his life would be prolonged for many years to come. The last few days of bis earthly existance, were such, however as to arouse the gravest ap prehension and while the end came suddenly the blow was noi unexpected. Governor Richardson came from ao illustrious family fatuous in the history of the State and he beiug the third Governor of the State from his family and the last of the old line Governors. The injunction processings again* t the Seaboard Air Line Company in reference to the condemnation of Sidney Paik in Columbia, were heard by Judge Buchanan in Columbia on the 7th inst, and the temporary injunction dissolved. A jury was drawn to fix the damages and after mature deliberation, placed the figures at $30,000, which was paid Monday and receipted for by Clerk Talley. Notice of appeal from Judge Buchanan's decision was given. The railroad people commenced work in the Park immediately after the acceptance of the money by the city. The citizens who are fighting the railroad applied to Judge McTver in chambers at Cheraw yesterday, for a stay of the Circuit Judges order pending the hearing of the appeal case. The motion has been refused. Tuesday morniDg as we scanned the mythical scoop of the State almost breathlessly, as it really ap peared that "it had got us and gone" court house, jail and territory combined, our first impulse was to summon the "King of Musk Island in council and send a commission with an injunction to stay further proceedings." But the second thought showed us that it was only one of the jokes of the very funny Editor of the Slate replying to "Jake,v and we had to smile. Stucky, white, charged with killing Sevier, also white, and his bookkeeper, was declared guilty of manslaughter by a Spartanburg jury last Sunday morning and sentenced by Judge Gary to ten years in the Penitentiary. A notice of appeal to the Supreme Court was given. John E. Boyd, late Captain of the Second South Carolina regiment, has been appointed by President McKinley Assistant Surgeon, with the rank of Captain, to serve in one of the eight regiments now being recruited for the Philippine Islands. Congressman Norton recently had a conference with President McKin ley about army appointments. As a result be says that Col. Iienry T. Thompson, late of the Second South Carolina regiment, will receive an ippointment in one of the regiment?. Judge Benet, of the First South Carolina Judicial Circuit, will sail From New Yotk next Saturday for Scotland, his native heath. He goes :o visit his mother, who is now 03 pears of age. He will return in September. This State is to have a Lieutenmcy in one of the new regiments and" :be appointment, it is said will go jither to Mr. BristoD, Mr. Woods or Vlr. Davis, each of whom were cHirers in the Second South Curolira regiment.

Now, as we are so fortunately I located as to have our territory traversed by seven railroid?, enhancing our lauds and aidiug in the reduction of our taxes, we hav , all of a sudden, become ol j jcts of great taction to the E litor cf the Slate, so much so, that he asks us to divide our prosperity v\ub kirn.

For once the cotton planter has an ally among the great corporations. For years the cotton tie ring, the ! bagging combine and the compress people have all lived off the cotton grower. There was no way to fight them and so they grew rich on their enormous profits, which the farmers had to pay. Now the American Cotton Company with its Roundlap bale, is in the field and it is so revolutionizing the cotton handling business that maDy of the old expenses are necessarily wiped out. The farmers must inevitably get a large share of this saving, but the old compress people and the baggiDg and tie trust are raiding a great commotion against the American Cotton Company as though they had always been the friends of the farmer. Unfortunately for them they never played the friendly act before and now the farmers doubt the sincerity of their repentance. The Roundlap bale is the trade mark name given by the American Cotton Company to its round bale to di3tirquish it from all other bales. The cotton mills of New England and of Europe are eager buyers of this bale because as compared with ! all other bales it has many advan1 t8ges covered by broad patents, | which greatly lessen the cost of man ufacture to the mill. This Roundlap bale eliminates two or three processes j in manufacturing and as the cotton I mills of the world are willing to pay | more for this cotton than any other, ! it naturally follows that to secure the ! highest prices all southern cotton ; must in time be put up in this j Roundlap form. Mr. "Win. C. Lover| ing, one of the most distinguished ; cotton mill men of New England j j says: : ' I do not hesitate to say that the j { time is coming when the cotton I manufacturers all over the world will i insist that their cotton shall be de! livered to them in the form of a j I Roundlap bale."
