Greenwood, n.sj., .uarcu s;-, ioai. . Mr. H. W. Johnson, our enterprising Jewelry, surprised his friends in Greenwood last Tuesday beyond doubt. Those lrequent visits to Abbeville have been h source of cominnil I for sometime, but we were not expecting it I when Mr. Johnson went off on the 2:(i5 trnlu last Tuesday and returned on the bringing with him as his bride, charming Miss Edith Leach, of Abbeville, yet such was the j case. Mr. aud Mrs. Johnson are with Dr. Lee I j for tbe present. Wednesday morning about. 5:30 o'clock tiie i alarm of Are sounded out on the stillness ofj our city at that hour. Soon a considerable j crowd had gathered at the Southern depot j platform, where the flames were fast making f headway among some bales of cotton. By | ! tbe work of a few faithful ones aud plenty of good advice about how It ought to he done ? from by-standers. the fire was soon under con- J , trol. About twenty-five bales of cotton be-1 / longing lo the Greenwood Mill were partially , / destroyed. The Are. It is supposed, caught j / from shifting engine of the Southern. / The primaries are over, aud some of the ; candidates are glad while others are sad. A I very heavy vote was polled at the second prl- j ?.iurw ?,n Thur?dav with following results: It. | K McCasiari, sheriff; W. E. Cothran, Judge! ?f Probate; J. M. Major, Supervisor; J. A. Marshall, Treiisurer; T. A. Graham, Auditor; / J. L. White, Superintendent ot Education; . A B. Dean, Coroner. Everything passed oft " I quletely, anil wbiie a great many 01 the cand-1 j lctates are defeated and disappointed, yet they I all accept the result with manly grace, and J express good wishes lor their successful op-1 J pouents, aud God speed to Greenwood Coun-1 s / iy^ Treasurer J.

Tbe audi- g ence was delighted with the variety and excellence of the eult-riainraeul from first lo b last, and the performance whs repeated last u night to a good audience. The only coin- g plalDt which we have heard was the scarcity s of seats, aud the pre-occupancy of reserved w seats. d From first to last no objectionable word was e heard in the performance. The inteutlon ol t the story wus to present, and make clear z tbe tyranny which was formerly exercised by p trie church. J At the close of the performance Mrs. Monroe said that tbe metropolitan press had t commended her entertainment, but that she a appreciated more the Kindly words of her '1 auditors. n The following in tbe nroirram : I a e ? / Proirramnio.

A railroad to connect tbe Seaboard with tbe hrlvlng cotton mill section farther up tiae ( lountry, with Abbeville as the connecting 1 ilace, is In prospect. And it is a lively pros- j )eot. For several months such a scheme has been '' rewlng. It has for some time been known -I nat, connecuuu w?? wauicu uomccu uu?| Dills at Piedmont and Pelzer and the Bea- ; joard Air Line system In January the S. A. t j. engineering corps surveyed two lines from , cei he mills to the road, one to Abbeville, the ! > )ther to Calhoun Falls. 3 c A lew days ago It became known In Abbe- j rllle that a railroad between the mills and Calhoun Falls was in contemplation and: in 1 i few hours a meeting of the business meD ? tad been held and action of much meaning ( o Abbeville taken. It is now probable that Abbeville will be the connecting point. Ab- ( >eville will doubtless do her part. 2 Capt. N. E. Lugoif, of the Seaboard Air s Joe engineering corps, has lately made a :omplete survey of the proposed route. He 1 ias not yet submitted his report. It Is anlerstood, however, that according to bis sur- I ev it is 42 miles from Abbeville to Piedmont , iy way of Due West and 48'/$ miles by way f Antrevllle. J The probable plan for building the road lias " iol been announced, but it Is reported that ] he PledraoDt and Pelzer companies will ( rade the road and the citizens o! Abbeville nd the S. A. L. company equip It. < The survey strikes the town limits at 3Ir. fc t. E. Cox's place and terminates at the shops.
