THE LEDGER. I rhiulow S. C-artt i EDIT() U A N D M A N A CI l< R. s.vrrkdav may 24, 1902. Branch Line rroposed From Bcthuno to Kershaw, via Huile Gobi Mine. Special to The Statu. Kershaw, Hay 20. ? A representative of the Seaboard Air Lintrailroad has been in Ken? haw for a few days looking over the country and consulting with Kershaw's bankers, leading business men and most influential citizons with the view to building a branch road from Bethune, Kershaw county, j by way of Huile Gold mine to I ivorsoil\t. i lie peopt# ttere, awell as the bnsinsss men, are tie lighted to know that it is almost an augured faot that the road will be built at au early date. The new read will bo a great henelit to Haile gold mine as thov are now throo miles from the South Carolina and Georgia Extension that runt through this place and their freight alone is quito an item t o haul that distance. A branch opened up by the S. A. L. people would giro Kershaw a mote direct line te the north and east and would dirido the passenger and freight business that is now handled exclusively by the South Carolina and Georgia Extension. If it did not get the ontiro business of thi> place it would get the bulk of it > as our business men are wideawake to the situation and are showing t hoir pnlhiisixmi lit the mo^oeet of having connection with lh? Seaboard and will continc to do as they ara now doing, nutnuly, exerting themselves to help push the project to completion in order to bavo a competing line with the j Southern. The town expects to have it? waterworks in hy September 1st. Lawyer K. 1). Rlakenoy and Dr. K. C. Hrown have moved into their nice new brick oflices that were built for them opposite the Heath Hanking and Mercantile company's store. ? ??<W> ?{> CWtt.

VAN WVCK HEMS. ji Wo have hud tiiw rains, gentle ; refreshing showers, sufficient fori the growingcrops ? ami bringing J up cotton tea stand but not too; much to stop the plows in land that had not been prepared already i for planting. Farincs h ive had a line chaneo to get in their corn and we are ghul to see the efforts that are being made to grow a largo crop of this important staple. Without plenty of cern, farming is a down hill business in this country. The small grain crop has improved very much, rince the "seasonable rains. Gardens have been hack-1 watd, b> t lire lo' king much better and cur tables are being supplied with home grown vegetables. The strawberry crop is not as good as usual, and cherries arc not very abundant. However, we havo been feasting on both ami can make out until the blackberry comes in, I which crop promises to he pU nti[ ful. Early planting of eoUon and corn are looking lino and farmers j are busy putting these to stands. Notwithstanding, the many hard snips an i gloomy blurt of the ! farmer tins spring, lie has many things to encourage him and P O brighter prospects before him. Kconoinv and iudubtry arc the watchwords. Our people arc not bothered by politics, and it makes no difference with them, whether McLaulingoes before the primary or not. Tiiey have no pets nor home candidates to boom for office. The health of the community is very good. The Doctors can take a rest and play with the''finny tribe" for recreation. Mr. .J. L Tillman,Sr., who has been conlinedto his honcfor somo time suffering withu sprained ankle, is improving anil gels about on crutches and occasionally ridds out in a buggy. He is a lino horseback rider for one of his age, tint has about] lo.->t consilience in that means of traveling, n.-> his misfortunes have been due to the demeanor of the j animals he has beou lidiog, aid not lo hissKilled equestrian arts. 11 owcver,uJabUee'* says be wants the leaders of The Ledger to know they were misinformed about "Pony" falling down with his father, and would like for you to correct it. lie says,prohibition men and horses don't fall down; that his puny lay down in thasand to get rid of some flies, while his father whs sitting and resting on n o him. lie aiso says his pony has - more religion than some people, as ho gets down on his knees to say his prayers, while they do not. His ponv has been instructed so much in prohibition talk and ways lie ?ceins to understand the requirementsof-his master. Mr.H. R. Clyburn andjwifo have moved to Atlanta.
