EXTENSION OF THE C. & L. RAILROAD.
The Monroe Journal says it
iias authority for the statement
that it is "in the bounds of pos
nihility" for Monroe, instead of
Lancaster, to get the Chesterfield
and Lancaster railroad, which
is now being extended from
Ruby, in Chesterfield county,
in the direction of Lynches river.
According to The Journal "the
route is not definitely settled
beyond the Fox Plact, which is
in about three miles of the Union
county line, and not over thirteen
in a direct line from Monroe."
The Journal is of the
opinion that "Monroe. Marsh
ville and other North Carolina
towns" will receive a "tremen
clous blow" unless Monroe is
made the road's ''outlet."
There has always been?at
least ever since the road was
chartered?a paucity of in for
raation on this side of Lynches
river as to what are the ultimate
plans of the C. <ft L. projectors.
A vague sort of impression has
prevailed for a long time, how
-ever, that the road would eventually
be extended to Lancaster,
but when or by whom uobcdy
seems to know. The eastern
section of Lancaster county cer
tainly oilers an inviting field to
the promoters of the road, ai d
it is not likely that they will
ignore its promising possibilities
by turning olF and going to
Monroe.
FOOTBALL TO BECOME A BACK
NUMBER ?
A reaction is rapidly setting
in against the great panne 0f
fnmHftll liau un lfinrt tm
? " 5 ""
joyod undisputed sway as a
popular amusement. It appears
that the game has degenerated
into one of fierce brutality, the
contests oftentimes resulting iu
death or serious bodily harm to
the players Although the pre
aent season has advanced but a
few weeks, the deaths thus far
recorded number twenty and
the injured over one hundred
nod fifty, not including the
casualties of Thanksgiving day.
The authorities of the various
institutions of learning throughout
the country are taking the
matter up and the indications J
are that the game will either be
radically reformed or abolished
altogether. Already the faculty t
of the Columbia University of i
New York has forbidden its r
students to play the game any 1
more. The example of this in
i ! wnftait twill n/\ /I ah Ka f a 1 r
oi itUViUU Will LI KJ UUUUU I7U 1V1 Jj
lowed by many others. i
There is one objectionable ?
feature to football contests between
college teams that has <?
never been emphasized to any
extent, and that is the detrac
tion from studies incident to 5
sucli games. For weeks at a
time teams are away from i,
their cla-s-rooms, traveling over w
the country to fulfill engagements
with other college teams, (
thereby losing time from their "
stud es which it i9 impossible for
them to make up.

THANKSGIVING SENTIMENTS. *
The Southern Christian Ad
vocate of Thursday?Thanks .
giving day?contains many
Thanksgiving sentiments writ
ten, at the request of the editor,
by both ministers and laymen.
One of the best is from the pen <
of Editor Hamel, of Kershaw.
It is as follows :
VTUU *3 giaUUUO LU Hit? 1U
that Lie gives me freely and
bountifully blessings I need but
do not merit My gratitude is
due Him, therefore,and I believe
it can best be expressed, not in t
service of words only, but deeds
of blessing to the less fortunate
of His needy children, who are .
dependent in a measure both
for their spiritual and material
needs, upon their fellow mor
tals."
The sentiment of the Rev. J.
M. Steadman, formerly of Lancaster
but now stationed at 1
<
(iaffney, is also very fine:
"Thanksgiving is the visible
monument erected by Hie grateful
soul to show its remembran
ce of tlio unforgetting God."
.Judge Gage's sentiment likewise
ranks among the most ex (
pressive : ]
'More than liberty, more than
bountiful harvests, more than
health and more than wealth, is |
tue enjoyment ot a contented mind."

This equals 4 per cent, on an
