Very few people regard the law against shooting within 50 yards of the public highway but dim Dixon, colored, will lie apt J 1 to regard it from this time on.

Cheraw, July 20.?The man- ' gement of tho Chesterfield and ) Cershaw Railroad company, the >roposed rood from Cheraw to ' Lancaster, is working quietly but * t is believed effectively towards ' laving the road built at an early late. The promoters are satisied that it will be a profitable investment for the company that >imI(Is it, and a great benefit to a urge and rich section of country. Along the line from Cheraw to Lancaster it would pass through is fine farming section as is to be found in the State so far as niilnr. il advantagesareconcerned. There is also excellent timber along the ant ire route, tine streams, and an aconoinical and industrious people The road would run through tine kaolin deposits and take in the rich JetFerson gold mining region. In fact the road would loubtless enter Brewer mine, possibly the richest in the south. It would be difficult to find in the same distance anywhere a greater variety of inducements to a proposed road and it is this that as5ures its early completion. Farmers t'rged to Hold Cotton. Natchez, Mich., duly 29. ? In its leading editorial tomorrow, the Natchez Democrat will make an ippeal to cotton farmers to hold pack one-third of their ginnings intil after December or January. "The two thirds will bring marly as much money, marketed n this way, as the whole crop narketed in the usual "ay," says he editorial. ''The government lays the .July condition >s three ind four-tenths per cent, less or i total depreciation of eleven and our tenths per cent. "Estimating the current crop it 11,200,000 bales, it means a ill linkage of 1,277,000 bales or a rop of 0,023,000 bales for 18091900."
