Believing chat a little recration xnixf d up with a considerable amount of bard work is conducive to the spiritual, moral aDd physical well being of mankind, we went on our annual camp fish to the waters of the Edieto last week, having for our xr compandors ou tnia occcaeioo Messrs. Jacob W. Dreber, Bank and Bob Hiller, A. M. Harman and T. Daggett Ogilviie, all of whom are acknowledge fishermen of great ability. Oar trip down and bsek was uneventful and in the due course of time we arrived at our fishing grounds and prepared at oucs for the slaughter of tbe finny tribe. The catch was great indeed, aud did it not look too much like self-praise we all would set our Beal of endorsement upon tbe statement of Klondike, but be this as it m?y w? certainly were very successful ard our larder was always kept well filled with fine fish. We all etj>%ed tbe delightful sport and had a pleasant time and the outing was b*?r?ffici*l to all in body miod snd eouL Oar friends may have the pkes but we got the fish. We no- I ticed that the small grain in that section wiH turn out better than was i expected and that the coin crop was fine. .. , ? The proposition for the county to build a free bridge at some suitable point across Saluda river, is not dead nor is it sleeping. We have it from what we consider pretty good . authority that members of the Board of County Commissioners are giving their individual attention to the consideration of the proposition. They are not jumping at conclusions, but are carefully studying over each and every detail connected with it. From what we can gather we are firmly convinced that this biidge is * u. u:i:.:? ,: one 01 me prjutDumeo n mo ucm latere. Plans end specifications from several reputable bridge builders have been received ond are now on file in fche office of the County Commissioners. A selection will doubtless be chosen from among them. The completion of this bridge means much to the business and social interests of the people on both sides of the river and will supply a necessity the absence of which has long been a barrier in retarding the progress of both divisions of the coonty. .It is time for that barrier to be r-moved bo that there can be an uninterrupted flow of communication. Another good result following the hniidiu^ of this biidge will be better public roeds, a result tbet we til sincerely hope to see aud care not how soon the day of their advent may come. CjI. James G G.bbep, one cf the most prominent old landmarks of CcJambia, died at his borne in that city on April 28tb, in the 78th year of hie &?6. By profession he was a surveyond nrfto a member of the engineer ! crops which surveyed ihe Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta railroad abjut the year lS.j-Jt. He wis also manager of the old Saluda factory, in tbi> county, during the Civil war. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil Magnate, has the reputation of being a billionaire and the licheBt man in the world. ^Vv*- : * It peems that the murder of the 1*1 e Governor-elect of Kentucky, Goebel, has been clearly fastened to I the skirts of Former Governor Taylor, who is now a fugative from justice, in Indiana, the Governor of which State has time and again refused to honor a nquisition for a I return of Taylor to the scene of bis | crime for trial. Dr. Layman Hall, of the Georgia Institute of Technology, declared in a speech delivered before the Southern Educational Conference on April 24, at its recent session at Kichmond, I that Boston will be illiterate compared to the future South. It needs no philosopher to see the inevitable, which is to overtake the Dew South. "When a man gets before the United States court, whether he is black or white, rich or poor, he is pretty opt to get justice."?Newberry Observer. Why, neighbor, the majority of people who go to law in these daj s of grace, don't want justice. They want their side to win. Judge Simonton has handed down bis opinion in the case of H. F. Richardson against T. B. Lee, Jr., Treasurer of Fai-field, in which he holds that the Blue Ridge Script was not a v&hd indebtedness of the State! This suit was brought to test the validity of this Script. Some of the Jews of Chicago say I they would welcome the return of Jesus Christ to this world and would receive him as a noble spiritual leader. The Democratic nomination is settled so far as Tom Johnson, of Ohio, ii concerned He is accredited with saying that no Presidential bee is buzzicg in bis eilk stile. - ? -i. ***._ reunion at uw vi'ieaus. For the 1903 Reunion of the Confederate Veterans, the Seaboard Air Line will eel! from its coupon ticket stations round trip tickets to New Orleans at the very low rate of one cent per mile for distance traveled short line mileage; the tickets will be Bold from May 16ih to 21st in- , elusive, good for return until May 24th. By depositing the tickets with the special agent at New Orleane not later than May 24tb, and upon pay- , ment of 50 cent9 fee, the return limit of the tickets may be extended until June 15th. This remarkably low rate to the Crescent City of the South West will no doubt be taken advantage of by a large number of j people as the rat68 are open ones and j ! the tickets can be used not only by j . the Confederate "Veterans, but by the < public at large. Any ticket of the Seaboard Air Line will give full information aa to f rates and schedule upon application, or same can be Recured by addressing Mr. C. B. Walrortb, A. G. P. A. 1 Savannah, Ga. c .
