Mr. Editor-I want to try and see if I cnn write up a trip from Brights? ville to Cheraw, and if I am success ful, I will perhaps venturo again and write up my St Louis trip wheo we return. My trip to Cheraw was a grand one tu me, I never have io all my life ?pt>nt a moro pleasant day than I spent on May 5 1994. In company with my better half, we started by ] private conveyance via Easterling's mill to Cheraw. My dear little wife planned tho trip, as you know all good women do. They are always the holm to everything pertaining to happiness, peaco and joy. Well I must sa/ this trip through the country was a hap py one for, me and the madam. We were like two little children you have eeen playing in a brook of rippling wuter, perfectly carried away with the beauty thereof. We were perfect ly delighted with the seeuery, and the extensive fields of cotton nnd corn a loug the way as wo sped along like a top, which waa very refreshing, as we were carried through the balmy breeze by a pair of "Cleveland Bays" at the rate of 1 mile per 5 minutes. The hordes felt good, so did the driver and thc madam. We all kuew that there was Bomethiog nwaitiug us over the river There wasn't but one little trouble that confronted us on our trip, and that didn't last hut a few mo ments. Wo thought we heard the train coming through the River swamp, but it turned out only imag ination on ray part. I saw uo much cord wood close to the railroad the thought of the traio came nest. I jumped out ran around to my horses heads aud said to my dear little wife. "Now Annie hold tight to the reins, perhaps we both can hold thom." I noticed the madam was nearly dying laughing, I said, "Well wife what on earth are you so tickled about, I see nothing to he killiug myself laughing about and the train comiog loo." So when I said that, I noticed her head droj) in front-the hat she wore hid her lace. I thought now I played thuu dor. I had perhaps hurt her feelings by speaking thus. So I noticed her head raise, until I could see her face, and it was stilll aglow. At last she caught her breath be tween the spells ot laughter nnd said "Why, Ebb, there isn't auy train coming, that is only a negro shack that you see that smoke coming out nf. ? Raid "Well. I am the bigBe?l fool in the world.'' So she commenced laughiug, and said, "Why old man don't say that, fur I have seen lots bigger ones than you are. "Well. ? said I, ''Look here, Annie, we must make a compromise of this now, if you won't tell the Colonel and your sister to-day I will get you a pound ot chocolate candy and a dozon bananas, ves, and '1 dozen apples, yes, and some chewing gum, yes, and that other I told you I wanted you to get for rae hefotc we left home '' She Baid, yes, ..it ?o,, ,v;u rr? -" ?? . T .*. * her son F, B. Gibson, Jr. ot Gibson, N. C., met her sister Mrs E W, Goodwin and husband at Col, C. F. Moore's in Cheraw on the 5th, and all spent a most enjoyable day, l lie Colonel and family have a beau tilul nome on one of the prettiest streets in the city, and is surrounded with all thc comtorts and luxeries of life that heart can wish for. A beautitul man-, sion two stories high, with tiie latest styles ol the finest furniture to decorate thu inside, while the outside is painted in a rich cream, trimmed in a dark shade ol mahogony, with a .'tish pond' on the top, as the old darkey said when he told me where the Colonel lived, "yes, sir, boss, the Colonel lives rite on dis here street i% the left side corner, cream color, trim in red, wid de fish pond rite on de ?op sir; yes, sir bose, rite dar you lind de Colonel Moore.'' Well. 1 do know one thing. I almost telt like yelling right there in the city. I felt so happy to think I was once lost, but now had found. I and the madam both were begining to feel like we would like to lind the Colonel's house. After driving over all the western part of the city?-up one street and down the other for one hour. At last I said "Well Ann, I hate to have to incmire, but I think I will." You see i had gotten almost out of heart, thinking the darkey had mis. informed me perhaps I looked for the lish pond on every house, but could not see a house of the description the old ne gro had given me. So I turned to my lett on Third Avenue and we saw the Colonel crossing the same street with a young man in the buggy witl him. "Hello, there Colonel,.' said I, as we t'irned a block to the left. "Hello, squire, he replied, we were just going down to meet you. We looked tor you all to come on the train Sister and Frank has just arrived." ' Well, yes, we did intend coming over witii sister and Frank, but wc found out we would be late in get ting back hom? to-night, so I phoned i sister we would come through the corni ,ry'. \\ ell, squire, i am so glad you all will bc with us to-day. Well, Colonel, you are no gladder than we are, I assure you. Well, come, drive up here is where we live. Come here, John, take these hors es. Come right in squire, you and sis? ter Annie, and make yourselves com? for ta hie. Well, here we are all on time. Well, Annie, you started quite early-it is on Iv hallpast o yes, we started at 6 and have enjoyed our ride, I have a good one on Ebb "Now, rats, lookout, hold up there Annie, you remember what you pom mised me " Well. I will have to lei him oil tIiis time. Thanks; All be seated. Miss Mamie brought around the refresh ments which were much appreciated, and little Ernestine the oranges, and M ister Wallace the ice water, all of which were very relreshing. mentally and physically to all. After a pleasant conversation of 3 and a half hours in this happy home the din ncr bell chimed out that dinner was a? waiting us. The Colonel and wile arose and escorted us out. On entering the 100m I discovered a 12 foot table that seemed to be heavily ladened with every thing that heart could wish lor. The Colonel winked atme, and said "squire; 1 assented with an imbarresed voice, and asked the good Lord to bless us, and prepare us for such an occasion as this; I do believe my prayers were mswered, for I believe I got my reason able portion. I did want to go the -T-i rounds, but, there is one thing you must do when ever you go to see Colonel Moore-You must eat. The iood is - so tempting a fellow will make li i ms eli sick, sure, it ne eats all the Colonel insists. I never want any supper alter spending the day with the Colonel. We were pleased with our visit through tne town ot Cheraw. The won dcrlul changes in ten years! It is last building up, and is becoming quite an enterprising place, with its machine shops. Chair Factory, Spoke and hand le factory. Fruit crate factory, and others ot equeal interest, that I did not visit tor want of time. The people whom I met seem to be triendly and hospita ble. I met my old friend Graham Math eson, in the bonk. He was iookiug well Also met a Mr. Duvall. Met Hon W. ?. Evans also, and came back through his plantation. He has a magnificent borne, out from the Uiver 2} miles, booting the road on a large high ridge. Front view lawn with lotty oaks. Kims and Hackberry, wite broad acres plumed in cotton where tobacco was last year. The stands ot cotton all along the up per road were good. The new road will be a great help to all the upper Marlboro section and Brightsvillc when completed. After we passed Mrs. Har ris Odom's we come to thc part ot the new road that has been cut out and put in traveling order, which is tine trom there to Brightsville, except two or three places needs cutting and working. We hope the Supervisor will not pass us by much longer. I think, it lam a judge ol a good thing when I see it. . We have not got the prettiest roads in the county. The road plow has never been in our town or in our section When have we had any road working? Road working is getting to be a thing ot th?, past, it seems in our section. 1 mean by our section, lrom Boykin to J. 1). Moore's. There has never been u, road plow; and the road between Jonas Brights and George Billiard's can hardly be passed by two, it is so narrow, and both sides stubbed oil il) or 12 leet. Don't we pay our road tax. and are we not entitled to some of thc benefit, or must we let it go to the other sections to improve and beautify their roads, and ours go down in gullys, grow in brooder patches and cultivated to a width ol io or rj feet. Now it you don't believe me, just cross Goodwin's mill creek and pass George Ballard's enroule to Brightsvillc and see where the roads have been looked after or worked? I believe in rotation We will vote for the man that will give us equal rights and show special privilege to none. 1 believe in good roads and am willing to pay my prorato share to have them. .Now' Mr. Editor, I guess I had bet ter call this letter to a close for fear ol the waste, basket. Thanking you for your patience in my experience ot trying to write what I saw and heard yesterday, will hmsh up in my next letter. Very Respectfully. May 6, 19O4 E.
