BSo&i The State aavf: "Tbe soivey of the proposed electric line betweeu Columbia and Aiken to connect with tbe Aiken-Augusta P road is progressing rapidly and it is I thought that the work will be finished in about 30 days. According to Mr. James U. Jackson, who was in Columbia a few days ago, tbe work of construction will start as soon as the plans have been submitted and approved and in a few months Columbia -will have connection with Augusta by trolley. In tbe meantime there is considerable speculation as to the exact rquce taken by the -civil engineers between the various towns to be touched by the line, and the Lexington Dispatch advises the people of that county to lay aside all bickerings and to help the promoters as much as possible. Tbe engineers usually keep the exact route a secret because the land owners generally try to obtain an exorbitant price for the lard passed over. A greater part of this route has been already - * - - i ? i g|/ surveyed, however, aua tee promoters have u geoeral idea as to the price of the land. The Aiken-Augusta line is phbtiDg the road bed between tbe two towns in good shape and as many of the - curves as can be are straightened out. This is reducing the distance & considerably." The engineers have been working between Columbia and Lexington for j U t the past week. The latest rumor is to the effect that about four miles gf- out from Columbia it is proposed to gt fork the ro8$, one fork to go to the Seaboard trussle to be used for freight only and the other fork to go to Brooklacd to cross at Guignard'e bridge to be used for passengers 1? TTT_ -i ....... ... nnf not*. 0D1Y. VVtJ, Oi UUUtM?, oic www j;oifcicular about just bow they get in Columbia, but we want to see the line built through Leziugton county and by the Court House. If this road takes the inside track, north of the old Augusta dirt road by Lexington, Leesville and Batesburg, it will be the greatest feeder to Columbia she has ever bad. So, gentlemen, if you want local trfiffic for your trolley take our route. j| Col. William Elliott, of Columbia, has been appointed a member of the commission, under the Foraker act to look after aud mark the graves of Confederate soldiers who died in v northern prisons. The appointment was a victory for cur South Carolina delegation, and will probably last four or five years, carrying a salary of $3,000 a year. Col. Elliott served in congress one term and was a candidate for the United States senate in the campaign before last. He was a gallant Confederate soldier and held many prominent and important position, and now the honors are well bestowed upon one who deserved them. ^ ? * ? . . 0 _ we nave oeen experiencing ior a few days the outward touch of the tremendous heavy snow and wind storms which swept through the % West and New England States recently and which played havoc with the telegraph and shipping business and caused rough seas a nd destruction on water. Many thousand dollars of damage are reported. The cold wind and ice here, it is feared, has damaged the small grain and peach crops. The freight business on all railroads has increased wonderfully, and the congested condition of the roads has been such that they have been nnable to handle the business as p omptly and rapidly as they desired. There is much complaint from merchants and other business men, but it is expected that after the fertilizers have been placed the haDdliDg cf freights will be more satisfactory. B CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS Qj Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. KM Use is time. Sold by druggists. CI T.r. ' [C&t [- \ y IHE above picture of the man and fish is the trademark of Scott's Emulsion, and is the synonym for strength and purity. It is sold in almost all the civilized countries of the globe. If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calamity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other hits in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emulsion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is the best thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and all conditions of wasting and lost strength. Send for free sample.

It is stated that the Eoglish spinners are endeavoring to purchase one hundred and forty-five thousand % acres of land in Georgia on which t) grow cotton for their own mills. This morning papers say the peach crop is damaged over one million dollars, result of the most severe cold wave ever know at this time of the year. Good Information. Now don't tell anybody we told yon. It is a secret. Yet, it is a fac^ that every person civilized to the ex a# mno?inr? nrnnd nlrttVica oVlfillM ?CUIi Ui TVOOIIU^ gv/uu VIVVUVD wuvwiw know. Hence we propose to let the cat out of the bag. Some time ago J. L. Mimnaugh went north and purchased, at the very lowest figures, the largest stock of clothing and gents furnishings ever brought to Columbia. These goods have now arrived and are rapidly being installed in J. L. Mimnaugh & Co' & new store. It is a new store, no old goods, and efficient and courteous treatment, in addition to the lowest prices ever made to clothing custoir ers. This information means money to you if you will only use it. Go now, go at once and purchase a suit of clothing in the latest styles, cut from the newest paterns, made to fit, look well and last. Again, we say go, and when you get there ask for John M. Stuart, an old Lexington boy, and if he is too busy to wait on you, be will furnish you a man who will treat you right and give you a square deal. Teachers' Association.
