Tt marvelous growth and development along u lines of business throughout the Pledmoi Kelt has not abated. The stringency ot it mouey market auU the hard times geuerai to the contrary notwithstanding. During tbe past uecaue mere nas ueen steady Improvement. Tbe bustle and bust of tbe live towns, tbe splendid fields of gro\ lag crops intervening, and tbe thrift and ei terpriseof the people, as a whole, are got evidences of a lautlug prosperity. It doi not seem to be uureasonable, therefore, that section of so much push and energy shoul expect Us railroads to take the lead in deve opmentand enterprise. The Charleston and Western Carolina lit long since appreciated the spirit ot this trull and In order to meet the expectations of i Eatrons and friends no people ever labors arder or succeeded iu building better tba the present able aud efficient management. To those accustomed to travel over tb road, there is nothing so striking as it seeming permauency of all the lmprov ments. Where it was practicable, all irestli have been removed and dirt filling plact instead. Tbe grades have been wonderful! reduced, tbe road bed drained, and tbe cul rendered free from land slides. At tbe stations, water tanks, and all alot the line you see the unmistakable evidenci of floe management. During the last three or fjur years of bus I1CBS BUlgUUllUU UUU UCJJl CBMU1I, mtJCU II. whole country wan in a state of political tu moll over the finances of the government, t railroad held lis own better than the Charle ton and Western Carolina. Having worked up th* road bed to a state i excellence, the management tias succeeded i Inducing the new owners of ihe road toe: pend a large sum of money in rolling stocl steel bridges and terminals Thirty miles of new sixty-three pound ste rail has been purchased, and Is now heir laid upon the heavy portion of the road b tween farksville and Luiaville. New ste bridges are in process of erection at Whal Branch, S. C.; aiso over the Augusta Cans L over the Savaunah River. 17 miles above Ai w gusta.and steel bridges will be erected durli the summer over Warrior Creek, nortli i Laurens, and over Little Klver at Laurens. Thirteeu new locomotives have been pu chased. 250 air-brake box oars, 75 alr-bral1 flats, 50 air brake coal cars, 18 cabooses, and passenger coacnes, This ttiuipmeul is tho ouguly modern and up-to-date in every r Dfvv In addition to this improvement, the mai agement 1b (upending about sixty ihousat: dollars in erecting new docks and warehousi at Port Royal, and re modelling them to f rilitate the liaudling of export traltic.

In addition to this, the management hi arranged wttli the Johnston Line for reguli monthly services during the summer montl from Port Royal, S. C.

Major were called upon it mourn the death of their little son Hob lei Wells. He was only thirteen years of ai ly but had been a great sufferer all hls'llfe. T years ago he was Injured from a fall and fr< a the%ffects of It he suffered untold agonies le to tbe day of his death. His lather and fa v- lly did all In their power to stay the progn Q-:ol the terrible disease which resulted frc id bis injuries, taking him twice to Atlanta a ss i once to New York to be treated. Besides, a 1 has ever had the services of able and com| d tent physicians in our midst. But consuir 1- Hon of the spine had set in and nothing con check its course. He was a child ot mark is will-power and endurance. Only the day 1 Li, { lore his death be was sitting ud talking ts members of the family; and throughout t d i entire sickness he was seldom heard to coi u plain. Being ailiicted be was of course a gr? care to his parents, brothers and sisters, b is care always carries with it endearihg qus le ties, and he received the benefits of those e- his home. To his lather and mother, brol _'s ers and sisters he was. on account of his s >d lerlnns, inexpressibly dear. These same m y t fortunes brouebt him many lrlends, w .s watcbed after blm during all bis Hie, and w today mourn with bis loved ones so untln is ly a death. The little fellow knew that dea ms was coming, and frequently would tell his tber that he was not afraid to die, yet b I- rather stay with them. On last Thursdi le however, the light of day closed to him fore r- er and on the following afternoon he was le 10 to rest in the city cemetery to await then 8- urrectloD. A large concourse of friends ai ; relatives gathered to pay their last tribute of him, and to extend sympathies to the I u reaved family. In all their sorrow, let the s- not forget the proclamation of years ago, " c, i such Is the kingdom of heaven." ej METHOD 1ST CHURCH DEDICATED.

Hisargument in t is Senate w<is in auswer to ti>e speeches of V< ir1 and others on the subject of "free raw ma is 1 rials." Mr. McLaurin does not theorise, b er Koes back to facts and precedents and sho' e. that the idea of "free raw material" has n< u I er been a policy of the Democratic party, b k- ; only a policy of Grover Cleveland, which < ie ! served to come and ko with him.
