1 HE CAR SEP VICE ON THE OLD "
THREE C'S. L
We had occasion Tuesday to ^
t]
? <'pr ilie passenger coach of ihe
iSouihern's early morning train,
itnd although we were aboard ''
l>?ti a moment, we were impress u
cd wilb the uninviting appear
;?iich ot the enterior, the dingy,
Blioddy looking old coach reminding
us of conditions on the old "
narrow gaug< road years ago.? 1
We were not surprised, therelore, j
when some hours later we saw '
the following communication in
the ?orkviile Enquirer, signed
"Mileage Book
' As a Irtquent traveler on ^
the Marion-King-ville branch ot f?
the Southern radway, 1 want to 1
enter a protest auainst the dis- f
graceful service that is given to t
the patrons ol this line. I have
no particular kick on the sched F
ules as they ;?re at present, al- f'
though I am sure they eouhl be e
very materially improved in r
several particular-; but I do n
want to matte a strenuous kick ^
at the trains- or rather the car.?
on this branch. The cars used on 11
the trains oi this branch would e
a disunite to a jerk water ii
radroud in Porto liico or Sai v
1) nungo. Tiie cars are not kept (j
clean; at night they are only I
halt lighted; ?lie windows, or a a
/tininrUu r\f lliom ?? <-> ! >>

condition that the sashes can-i \
not ho raised or the blinds can-1 li
no' he lowered. And then t .o. L
all ?hese trains should have a .
porter for each, to assist passen j
trers on and nfFthe cars, especial- M
lv ladies will, children and bun- '
dies Toe conductors are cour.e
on", high-toned gentlemen, btt! /
a; oent they can only help ore
or two at a time.
1 hope the echo of this kick .
will go all the way down to
Charleston aid up by Washing- 0
ton and back to Columbia to the ^
railroad conrunission and be frui' 3'
fnl of results." t
If half the charges made by p
Mileage Book" are true, the t
Southern's anthorifies should
hasten to remedy the matters o
complained of. Wo can conceive ! O
of no reason why the company !s<
should not give its patrons on jT
the old Three C's better servi o si

Some newspapers itivei
rainsl the practice of candidal
lling the columns of the coun
apers with cards of thanks af
ie primaries. It all edit<
ould do like The Tunes, chai
>r these cards as all other adv
sing, candidates would soon st
ie practice. It has about di
nt in this county. Most pol
ians do not care to give than
hen they have to pay lor it,
ort Mill Times.
Such is not the case with t
politicians" or candidates
ancaster county- Our can
ates not only "care to g
lianks," but they readily do
nd cheerfully pay for the pi
cation of their cards in the c
mns of The News. They I
liat it is right and proper fl
liey should publicly expr
lieir appreciation of tlie supp
Bceived by them in the prir
ies, and realizing: the fact tl
lieir cards are of a personal
Lire, they do not hesitate to j
or their publication.
The candidacy of the Hon.
I. Whaley, o' Charleston, lor
peakership of the next House
tepresentaiives is being m
avorably commented upon

minent satisfaction the big
espcnsible position ol chairn

J Verq Ancient Axe with an In
088 teresiinq llintori/.
ort Mr. G. VV. Bell, of Lancaster,
lia" has an ancient family relic that
ia' he prizes very highly. It is a
na crude looking broad-axe, made
>av
J of iron by the primitive hammering
process in vogue before the
days of forges and fouudiies ?
The axe was brought to Lancas^ie
ter from Pennsylvania in the
* year 1800, by Mr. Bell's greatosl
grandtather, George Bell, who
ky oftentimes stated during ids lite
'lie time that the axe in question
',a8 hewed the tirat post that was
m(^ placed at a certain cross roads
h,y where the city of Pittsburg,
lan penn., now stands, tlie post being
ol wild locust.
>m (Jul Mr George Bell of this
en" county, the father of Mr. G. W.
has Bell, and the grandson of George
UBe Bell, senior, who brought the
os' axe to this country, says that he
3rs> olten heard his grandfather, a?
ent well as his father, the late Nel^r
son Bell, relate the history ol
,ar the axe as stated above.
me Mr. G. W. Bell, the present
v'^ owner ol the old heir loom, had
j a picture taken of it a lew days
