SEABOARD AIR LINE B B. (
The Seaboard Air Line Railroad i
ha3 succeeded in getting possession i
of Sidney Park in Columbia, for j
trackage and depot purposes. The i
sum of $30,000 has been paid to the ]
city council cf Columbia and the
' railroad company holds the receipt
of city Clerk and Treasurer Talley
therefor. Henc? it is- a settled fact
that this road will come to Columbia
' from Cheraw, via Camden.
Common report has it, and the report
has not been denied^ that it is
the intention of the management of
the Seaboard Railroad, to build an
extension from Columbia to Aiken at
once. Surveys looking to this end
have been made in the southern portion
of this county within seven miles
of this place. As we understand the
route of the proposed extension
to Aiken, however, has not -been
definitely settled upoD, hence it
may be the means of doing much
good to our people and save money
to the railroad, by inviting the attention
of the railroad authorities to au
other route, by which their ends can
be accomplished at a less expense
and a far greater assurance of drawing
support for the road after its
completion and at the sametime
lengthening the distance only a mile
or so if any at all. There are seve
ral admirable natural xidges leading
by way of this town, any one of
which can be utilized for railroad
purposes at a very small expense.
"When it reaches Lexington it will
be found that this ridge continues
until it reaches Aikeu.
The country, along this roule
is far advanced in agriculture and
manufacture. Its lands are rich and
fertile and productive, producing
fruits, vegetables, cereals, cottoD,
corn, pease, sugar cane and tobacco
in great abundance. The back coun4?

and will add considerable revenue to
the road. At this point alone, there
are paid for freights in round numbers
S38,000 of which amount the
factory companies pay about $20,000.
The passenger business will greatly
increase this amount lb is safe,
however, to say that there is a
freight and passenger business doee
at this place amounting to at least
$40,000 per annum. This sum will
be greatly increased by the building
of the Aiken extension of the Seaboard
Air Line along the line mentioned.
There is no doubt about
there being a large and paying business
for the road that will build
along this route. We will have more
to say on this subject from time to
time, but in the meantime it will pay
the Seaboard Air Line officials to
look into the merits of thi3 route and
we are convincad that they will be
favorably impressed with the ability
of the country through which the
route passes to give the road a large
support and hence it will be a paying
investment.
The proposition of Editor Gonzales
to annex a portion of Lexington
county to Richland and Columbia
is not regarded at all seriously.
' It is looked upon as one of the
State's inimitable jokes. There is
? nothing doing in politics; busi- 1

Ex Governor John Peter Richardsod,
died in his home room at the
Hotel Jerome, iu Columbia, last
Wednesday night. He had been in
failing health for some mouths, but
at times had rallied to such an extent
a3 to lead his friends to believe that
his life would be prolonged for many
years to come. The last few days of
bis earthly existance, were such,
however as to arouse the gravest ap
prehension and while the end came
suddenly the blow was noi unexpected.
Governor Richardson came from
ao illustrious family fatuous in the
history of the State and he beiug
the third Governor of the State from
his family and the last of the old

The injunction processings again* t
the Seaboard Air Line Company in
reference to the condemnation of
Sidney Paik in Columbia, were
heard by Judge Buchanan in Columbia
on the 7th inst, and the temporary
injunction dissolved. A jury
was drawn to fix the damages and
after mature deliberation, placed the
figures at $30,000, which was paid
Monday and receipted for by Clerk
Talley. Notice of appeal from Judge
Buchanan's decision was given. The
railroad people commenced work in
the Park immediately after the acceptance
of the money by the city.
The citizens who are fighting the
railroad applied to Judge McTver in
chambers at Cheraw yesterday, for a
stay of the Circuit Judges order
pending the hearing of the appeal
case. The motion has been refused.

our first impulse was to summon
the "King of Musk Island in
council and send a commission with
an injunction to stay further proceedings."
But the second thought
showed us that it was only one of
the jokes of the very funny Editor of
the Slate replying to "Jake,v and we
had to smile.

Eoundlap Cotton Bales.
j To Satisfy the Demand the Entire
| Crop Will Eventually Be So
Baled.
For once the cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations.
For years the cotton tie ring, the
! bagging combine and the compress
people have all lived off the cotton
grower. There was no way to fight
them and so they grew rich on their
enormous profits, which the farmers
had to pay. Now the American
Cotton Company with its Roundlap
bale, is in the field and it is so revolutionizing
the cotton handling business
that maDy of the old expenses
are necessarily wiped out. The
farmers must inevitably get a large
share of this saving, but the old
compress people and the baggiDg
and tie trust are raiding a great commotion
against the American Cotton
Company as though they had always
been the friends of the farmer. Unfortunately
for them they never
played the friendly act before and
now the farmers doubt the sincerity
of their repentance.
The Roundlap bale is the trade
mark name given by the American
Cotton Company to its round bale to
di3tirquish it from all other bales.
The cotton mills of New England
and of Europe are eager buyers of
this bale because as compared with
! all other bales it has many advan1
t8ges covered by broad patents,
| which greatly lessen the cost of man
ufacture to the mill. This Roundlap
bale eliminates two or three processes
j in manufacturing and as the cotton
I mills of the world are willing to pay
| more for this cotton than any other,
! it naturally follows that to secure the
! highest prices all southern cotton
; must in time be put up in this
j Roundlap form. Mr. "Win. C. Lover|
ing, one of the most distinguished
; cotton mill men of New England j
j says:
: ' I do not hesitate to say that the j
{ time is coming when the cotton
I manufacturers all over the world will
i insist that their cotton shall be de!
livered to them in the form of a j
I Roundlap bale."

passenger train. Mr. Wilson
was walking on the track in company
with Mr. W. D Gray, coming toward
the passenger depot. They heard
the train coining while walking on
an embankment, near the water
tank. They ran to the two side
tracks from the embankment, Mr.
Gray on one side and Mr. Wilson cn
j the other. It seems that Mr. Wilson
! attempted to cross the track and get
[ on the side with Mr. G.ay, while the
j train was very close. The engine
| struck him, crushing his head, killing
him instantly. The engineer,
Mr. George Fetner, blew the road
crossing, station and alarm whistles
and did ali in his power to avoid the
accident.
Thp rnrnner bein<T so far in the
I ?
I country, Sheriff E-lisou summoned a
j jury and Magistrate T. M Cithcart
j held the inquest, which lasted until
! a late hour last night.
Mr. Wilson's remains were taken
to Lexington, his home, today for
burial. He was about 2"> yeais old
and leaves a wife and three small
children.
[His remains arrived here Monday
and was carried to S.ixe Gotba for
interment.?EJitor Dispatch J
