There is a growing demand for
opening up a public road leading
from this place toGaston and beyond.
As it now is those people are put to
unnecessary inconvenience to reach
the Court House when business calls
them to make the trip. Just the
?- J? W. \AI A Anndwin hnv.
UbUOf UBJf iltl> If VX W v? T. ?? , mm-m .
ibg-business here, started on bis
journey and on arriving at the
James Taylor mill found the dam
washed away; there being no? crosson
the creek, either below or at the
Jefcoat Mill he was compelled to go
above Edmund, and until he came to
the public road leading to this place.
It was like going all the way round
the elbow to get to the mouth.
A good road should be laid out
and kept in thorough repair for public
travel. It has been suggested
that the road start at this place and
go to the Beven mile post on the
Orangeburg road, near the residence
of County Supervisor Sbealy; thence
by the James Taylor old home and
cross the creek; thence direct to W.
A. Goodwin's mill, and leaving Gaston
about half a mile to the right,
and thence by the West Harsey
place, Piei oe Taylors, and thence to
intersect the old State road near
Sandy Kan or at some good place in
that locality. This route is feasable
and the road can be opened at a
comparatively smell expense.
We understand that Supervisor
Shealy has expressed himself as being
favorable to this project and is
willing to meet the citizens interested
and assist in laying out the road.
Now is the time to act. Delays are
dangerous and wisdom would suggest
to strike while the iron is hot.
Let the people come together, make
an appointment with County Supervisor
Shealy and have the road laid
out at once.
The Administration is |onsidering
the proposition of constructing a
system of railroads in the Philippine
islands amou iting to some 600 miles.
It is proposed to build a line from
Manila north through Luzon to the
harbor at the northernmost end of
the island. Another proposed line is
from Manila south to Batangas. The
Secretary of War believes that the
_ construction of these roads would be
of immense benefits and would settle
for all time the question of possible
insurrections in the island of Luzon.
William Monroe Trotter, editor of
the Boston Guardian, Granville Martin
and Bernard Charles, the "colored
persons" who are alleged to be responsible
for the recent disturbance
at a meeting in the Columbus Avenue
A. M. ? Zion church, Boston which
was being addressed by Booker T.
Washington, have been convicted.
The Sultan of Turkey has issued
an order calling out fifty thousand
more troops from the European provinces
of Turkey in consequence of
the spread of the insurrection in
Macedonia. The war department is
evidently preparing to repel any invasion
of Turkish territory by the
Powers should such an attempt be
made. The acting war minister has
ordered the government powder factory
and small arms and ammunition
depots to prepare large quantities of |
ammunition immediately. j
The proposfcion to remove the place
for holding the State Fair from its
present site to another one in a
different part of Columbia is, in our
opinion at least, without rhyme or
reason. A no more eligible site for
the holding of the State Fairs can
be found in the city than the present
?ne. The grounds are sufficiently comsaodious
to meet any damand that
m-ry be made upon them for years to
come; their nearness to the centre of
the city with a splendid street car
and hack service makes them conveo/lmirfthlv
ndanted to the
LI1CJ-1U OUU uuui?wvj ? J.
purpose for which they were intend*
ed. Stalls, outbuildings, electric
wires for lighting purpose and water
mains are already on the premises
and besides all these improvements
the Seaboard has its tracks passing
through the grounds which is a convenience
to exhibitors that should
not be lightly overlooked. The only
reason that we have seen for the proposed
removal is that the United
States government might at some
future day want the grounds for the
| location of a permanent camp for its
troopB. Everything considered the
! fair grounds are located just where
they should be and we trust that
the officers of the association will
decline to consent to the removal of
the place of holding the annual State
fairs.

and was reviewed by the President,
Admiral Dewey and other distinguished
persons. The lighting ships,
which occupied over a square mile of
water in Long Island sound, were res'viewed
by the President from the
deck of the Mayflower, which passed
between a line of the finest array of
battleships "ever before the eye of the
nation's chief magistrate."
The assassination of the Russian
i
consul at Monastir, and the reported
assassination of his successor at the
same, place, has aroused the ire
of the Russian. Bear against the
"Terrible Turk." A Russian equadron
consisting of four war ships, five destroyers
and six torpedo boats has
been sent to Turkish waters. It
is expected that Russia and Turkey
will soon be involved in another war.
Much of the property of the
Pacolet Manufacturing Company,
which was supposed to have been
lost during the recent storm which
demolished its three mills, is being
recovered by the officers of the com-1
pany, who are going about through
the country, ar^ompanied by a Magistrate,
in wagons, reclaiming their
property wherever found.
A contradicted announcement has
come from the Navy Department
that it has been determined by the
powers that be that hereafter no negro

United States navy. One by one

It is fully time that something was
being done toward the establishment
of a cotton seed oil mill at this place.
There can certainly be no question
about such an enterprise paying a
handsome dividend on the money invested.

Lieutenant General Miles, of the
United States Array, having reached
65 years of age, the age limit for active
service, has retired to the shades
of private life. He has been succeeded
as commanding general of
the army, by General Young.
The latest mentioned Presidential
possibilities are W. C. Whitney and
Carter Harrison. We opine that, to
be successful, the Democrats will
have to go further than Wall Street
for its presidential timber.
