Laks City, July 12:?Ths crops in this section are excellent so far. The writer has heard several men say that they never saw setter prospects for rood harvests. Of course bad ' seasons may change the outlook, but unless something happens after this, j those who planted this year in this 1 community will have their labors rewarded in so far as yield is conern ed. We all know that when it comes! to reducing: the money crops to cur- j rsncy those who make their crops | will receive but little for them. The j speculators and financiers, who are J the worst criminals of the nation, j will see to that. Mrs H V Eppsand children are on j Sullivan's Island, spending somei weeks. MrEppsgoes down Sundays. Mr L A Winston has bought a house and lot at Mvrtle Beach. This will hereafter be the family summer home. If this place were more easily accessible.it would be the most popular resort anywhere along thiscoast. i A party compoaed of Messrs J S; McClam, W A McClam, Ashfon H | Williams.E D Sallenger.J C Williams, and W L Bass went to Georgetown Monday on a fishinr trip.

In reference to the article in the last issue of your paper concerning the enterprise of bridging the Santee river, I desire to call ths public attention of our citizens to the importance of such a proposition and to the initiatory steps which are now being taken to ascertain whether or not the enterprise can be successfully undertaken at this time. To bridge the Santee river,thereby connecting Charleston's social and great commercial interests directly ? *A?r,ir?!,ll? /]Ai?nlArtirtn> Poa T)PD ! WJin uit* in^iiuijr uciciu^iu^ ? v?, section of the State, and the uniting of the interests of the great counties south of the Santee with those of the counties north of it has been the dream of the leaders since the pioneer days of Carolina, and therefore i just this suggestion as to its impor1 tance is sufficient. 1 The question of the bridge and its i location has often been raised, but perhaps never before with such sanguine prospects for its realization as when injected into the discussion of good roads and State highways at a meeting in Charleston July 3, held under 'he auipices of the citv's - - i I Chamber of Commerce. Heretofore whenever this subjeet j was raised it either ended in discus- j j lion or died with the enthusiasm of I the occasion, but the real interest that developed in the recent Charleston meeting: indicated that the lime is now ripe for action. It was claimed by those present best qualified to I make estimates that the bridge with I proper connections for practical purposes could be builtatacostof about thirty or forty thousand dollars, and the representatives in the meeting from the counties south of the river immediately offered the assurance that they would raise one-half the necessary amount if the counties north of the river would raise the other half, who in turn could speak only for their communities but were; of the opinion that the counties, I north of the river would respond t readily with their portion. I In the conference appointed for i the purpose.it was decided after due ! consideration that, for economical reasons,and l>ecause of the fact that the point on the river known as the Gourdin's.or Murray's,ferry was the I most direct, connecting the two sections of the State, the bridge should be located at that place. The Chamber of Commerce of Charleston agreed to have export engineers survey the swamp adjacent to the crossing and ascertain the ap ? ? 4~ ^^ rnAtinn proximate worn, ui mc uwivu of the bridge at the point dssignated, and that then Charleston would offer to give 10 much of the total coat of the bridge if the countiea south and north of the river would raiae the balance of the necessary amount. The propoaition ia to raiae the mo! ney by personal aubacription and by donations from corporations and Boards of trade, from the National Government and from State funds. Bond issues are not contemplated, and, tpeaking for Williamsburg county, there will be no bonds. The bridge, if built, must be constructed by public-spirited citizens and those most directly interested. This, however, can be done,for it is not a Williamsburg-Berkeley proposition only, but involves the interest of two great sections of the State easily able to put the enterprise through to its completion. One of our citizens has already pledged a round thousand dollars toward the bridge, and we have heard of two others who, each, have promised five hundred dollars. The big packing house now being I?ill. _4 /"> k., arv UUIlfc at U1?UJ(CUUIK ! mc iappeal for the bridge. Let ui be thinking this bridge question over and be ready to help when the opportunity comes, we trust in the near future. E C Epps. All men make mistakes in the eyes of tha Lord and other pesple.

Washington, July 10:--Living up to its reputation as the greatest single factor for peace in America, the United States marine corps,with the loss of a few men killed and wounded,has quietly and effectually quelled the latest revolt in Santo Domingo, and, without time los?, in undue parley, has forced the rebel chieftains to lay down their arms and return to peaceful pursuits, according to late advices from Monte Christi. Uniled States marines now control the entire island on which Haiti and Santo Domingo are situated,and that control was gained without serious fighting or great loss of life, it is claimed, because of the thorough preparedness of the marines for the business at hand and their knowledge of the people and their ways.
