The Lexington Dispatoh ^ Wednesday, February 5,1902. < 10 Years in Receivers' Ean&s. It is noteworthy that among the railroads sold under foreclusure proceedings in 1901 was one?the Blue Ridge?which had been io the hands ' of receivers for over forty years. The I Railway Age recalls that it was com- 1 menced in 1855, was intended to run from Anderson Court House, in north western South Carolina, across a cor v ner of Georgia, and through North Carolina to Knoxville, Tenn, a distance of only about 130 miles by air line, but considerably more over the i difficult mountain route that was involved. Its construction would have i completed a direct line from Charles- 1 ton to the west, and hence that city 1 and the State of South Carolina took the chief financial burden of its con- i struction, subscribing for $2,100,000 cf the stock. Thirty-fcur miles cf -?? iocq uscfc. were vuwpieicu iu iu^- uuw Anderson to Walballa, and at that point the road has ever eioce termi- ] nated, with the walls of the Blue Ridge mountains discouraging fur- j ther progress. Some tunneling and ( rock work was done beyond, but in i 18G1 all work was suspended, after ] about $3,000,000 had been spent, for < y lack of the $10,000,000 more needed < to complete it. In the consolidations < ' * 1 A and combinations 01 euosequem f years the Blue Ridge railroad was | left alone and has loDg teen operated j under a receiver. < 1 Seven Years in Bed. 1 * ? 1 "Will wonders ever ceaee?" icquir- < ed the friends of Mrs. Mrs. L.

All the preliminary steps for the > purchase and sale of the Danish West Indies have been taken and it now remains only for the Senate of ' the United States to ratify the agree- 1 ment and the payment of about $5,- j 000,000 by this government to that ' of Denmark when these sea kissed island and their inky colored inhabitants will become the property of ! Uncle Sam. It is a significant fact that in this sale the wishes of the people of those islands were not con- 1 suited in the matter at all by either 1 ? -w* r*i? f nrvATl f ' gU VtJfiiUJCiJ t, uut ntic ^>U(J u^uii luu block and sold as so many slaves. 1 Yet we believe that it is the proud boast of American civilization that, by the grace of the Republican party, the shackles of tlavery have been burst asunder and the hidioas insti- 1 tution abolished from our shores.

Three hundred tobacco growers and dealers of Madison, "Wisconsin, ( in mass meeting assembled, have earnestly protested against the alleged proposition to reduce the tariff on Cuban tobacco. These people are determined to resist anv effort to tinker with the tariff, that is in so far ^ as it relates to a reduction of the duty on Cuban tobacco is concerned, to the last ditch. They have expei rienced from actual facts that the inf * BilPKiifjJkAiyPBBHMiMkaBWBEBKlKPWKnBBBMBBB dustry represented by them cannot j flourish and prosper in competiton ! with the eame industry where the pro- !

F Eog1 Meat Higk | Edgefield Ad'e tiser. Oaeof our exchanges remarked a Few weeks since that hog meat was so high that it made one almost wish that he was a Jew. And corn is so aigh that we wish we did not enjoy ;orn dodger. It is a great pity that jotton is not good to eat, but if it | were people would quit growing the staple and produce something that I they could not eat. It seems that ^ farmers would rather raise cotton at 3 and 7 ceDts and pay 12 cents for bacon, Si a bushel for corn aod Si ihd S5 per barrel for flour, than to raise such at home. The cry of 'hard limes'' will be heard so long is farming is conducted in this unbusiness manner. Farmer friend, raise your supplies at home, and jrow cotton as your money crop and :hen you will change your tune from "hard times'' to "home, sweet home."
