The Record's Pathfinders.
The Columbia Record's Capital-toConnty
pathfinders passed through
Lexington on Monday morning. Mr.
Ja9. A. Hoyt, the brilliant editor of
The Record, Mayor Reamer, Mr. Jno. 1
J. Cain and Mr. Roddy, accompanied J
the scouts as far as this place. 1
Hon. Frank W. Shealy, clerk of the
court and one of the most ardent supporters
of the good roads movement i
in this county, accompanied the path- | 1
finding party, composed of Messrs. j <
Baker, Horton, Kind, Yonngblood 1
and Fishburne, as far as Johnston, re- i
turning to Lexington on the afternoon !
train. Mr. Shealy was delighted with 1
the trip. <
This undertaking on the part of '
The Record will undoubtedly prove j {.
beneficial to the entire state. It is 1
bound to create a deeper interest in j
the good roads movement everywhere. J
We congratulate oar contemporary j
on this, its latest venture, in behalf of 1
the people of the entire state. (

To Develop "Waterpower. ;
For the past several days a large i
force of hands has been at work near
Dreher's ferry, laying the preliminary i
plans for the development of the wa- t
terpower at that place. <
It seems to be a certainty now that <
this power will be developed. It is c
understood that a syndicate, headed |
by Mr. Jas. U. Jackson, of North An- i
gosta, has secured an option on the a
property, which practically means f
the purchase of trie property. Mr. \
Jackson was here a few days ago with e
some capitalists from Pittsburg, Pa., i
% who are interested in tne project, it is c
i said.. t
With the development of the water- i
power at Dreher's, it is said that the t
AngU9ta-Aiken aud Columbia Elec- d
trie railway will take on new life. c
Lexington cannot afford to let this s
opportunity pass to aid the promoters s
of these undertakings which means so S
much to the county and herresources. s

. Girl Accuses Her Brother. 1
There is a young man in the Cherokee
County jail charged with a most terrible
crime. His name is Bascomb
Brant. His sister, who is a cripple,
and is only about sixteen years of age,
gave birth to a child a few
nights ago, and upon being question
ed in regard to the paternity of the f
infant, said that her brother, Bascomb,
wa9 its father. Brant was arrested
and committed to jail the next day
under the charge of incest. C. P. !
Sims, of Spartanburg-, represents the
defendant, and ha9 sued out a writ of t
habeas corpus, which will be heard by f
Judge Gary on Tuesday. It is said y
that the girl now says that she was out t
of her head when she made the state- *
Tnftnt imnlie&tiner her brother. The I
Brants live at the Hamrick Mills vil- J
lage, and have not been residents of J
, Gaffney v?ry long. c
