The C. & L. Road to Cha
Hands ?
We learn from a reliable sou
that in all probability the CI
terfield & Lancaster railroad i
soon pass into the hands of
Seaboard Air Line. Officials
the latter system, it is said,
cently made a tour of inspect
over the C. & L. road with
view of its purchase from
?ages, the present owners,
the property shall be taken c
by the Seaboard it remains t<
seen, of course, what will
done with it.
The plans of the Seaboard |
pie, if they have any, are
known to the public. It is i
sonable to suppose however, i
they will extend the road
Lancaster, as originally desigi
It is now, we believe, wil
about twenty miles of this pi
its present western terminus
ing but a short distance bey
Lynches river.
The effect of the extensio
t Lancaster would be to afl
transportation facilities wit!
its consequent advantages to
of the best and most prospei
portions of the county, a sec
/ that is not traversed by any 1
f ,road. More than one thri\
I /' town would spring up betw
here and Lynches river, to d
trade which now goes pri
pally to Monroe, some to 1
shaw and some to Lancas
While the county as a wl
would unquestionably be
measurably benefited by the
\ - tension, and for that reason
coming of the road should
cordially welcomed, there i
be room for difference of opir
1 as to how the town of Lanca:
would be affected. It would
some trade, it is true,
wouldn't .the loss be infinit
. mally small in comparison v
the benefits accruing from an
ditional line of railway? In
event Lancaster will alw
maintain her supremacy a

New Kind of Watermelon.
A recent issue of the Andei
.Daily Mail contains an inter
tng editorial article on the i
variety of watermelon with wl
the national department of a
culture is experimenting with
parent marked success,
article referred to is in pari
follows:
In its efforts to introduce i
the United States the best gr;
vegetables, and fruits of fore
countries, the federal agricu
cal department has never b
more interested in its exp
rnents along that line thar
now is in a new watermelon.
This particular variety of ?
on was found by Horace
Knowles, late American minis
to Roumania. growing in
foothills of the Carpathian Mo
tains in Roumania. The mel
have a very thin skin, and
meat, which is less fibrous t
our native melons, in coloi
both yellow and red and
flavor is exceedingly delick
Besides its matchless flavor
has another distinctive feat
in its size, which is about tha
a grapefruit.
It occurred to Minister K nov
that a watermelon of that siz
just enough for- one perso
would find great favor in
United States. It seemed to I
that it would he just the thinj
serve in hotels, restaurai
clubs and on dining- cars. Tl
could be kept on ice, and a wl
melon could be served as
portion.
Seeing the possible demand
such a melon in the Uni
States. Minister Knowles
tained a large quantity of
seed and sent them, through
state department, to the depi
ment of agriculture.
Under the supervision of Da
l-?g- Fairchild. of the bureau of plant FA
^ introduction of the agricultural
department, who has achieved a ?
? wide reputation for the discov- \An
*-V8 ery and successful introduction
ster in this country of many valuable1
? foreign fruits and vegetables, 1
;t?r the melon seed were distributed in>
l*er last year to a number of expeei- crj
rth mental stations. uf
c, The reports on the result of
a79- the experiments were most satis- a,T
factory, and proved that the soi
melons can be grown successfully ' of

nge United States. A reix)rt from
Massachusetts states that the
melons have a most delicious aei
rce flavor and present the flattering ed
,es_ "difficulty of finding any one Wl
i-iiI person who will be satisfied with ;t
' , only one of the melons." The'
e department, through Mr. Fair- f1*
of child, is planning to grow a large 1
re- quantity of the melons this year, to
jon and their merit being known to ; th<
the managers of large hotels in nn
, Philadelphia and New York, the i
f"c entire crop this year has been*, ^
If bought for those two hostelries, j
?ver the price agreed on being three nu
