Samaria, Jan. 22.?At a meeting quietly called for the purpose at the new town of Lybrand in Aiken county, it was definitely decided that the participants would take out a charter to build a railroad from Steedman, T.a-r-?iit?t\nn nnnnt.v fin AitftTl ft -? ?"? J J The name proposed for the Dew road was the "Aiken Columbia railroad," and a9 the name implies, the final object of the proposed road is to connect Aiken and Columbia. Thi9 road will practically follow the survey made some years ago which was an air line from Columbia to Augusta, and further evidence of the road's success is that it is backed by the people along the line as well as by outside capital. Among the heaviest local subscribers are: Geo. W. Lybrand, W. F. Lybrand, J. M. Ready, J. D. Prothro, A. O. Yearian, P. N. Williams, Wilson Kirkiand, S. B. Williams, Perry Hall and J. L. Oswalt, of Samaria. Mr. A. O. Yearian was chosen chairman, and Mr. J. P>. Prothro, of Aiken, secretary, and within twenty minutes after an estimate of the cost per mile was made known to the meeting, sufficient capital was subscribed to build the road from Steedmau to Lybrand, a distance of eight miles, and committees were appointed to attend to fin ishing surveys and start the building of this section of road beginning at Steed in an. Another meeting will be called oy the chairman within the next two weeks to effect permanent organization and to push the road on to Aiken. ?The State. A New RailroadThere is a great deal of agitation just now over the proposed new. railroad from Columbia through Lexington, Saluda on to Greenwood. , The proposed route traverses one cf the richest farming sections of South Carolina, and will be of vast intere&t to the people living along the route. The line proposed will run through the town of Lexington, thence through the river section by way of Hollow Creek to Delmar, Mt. Willing, Saluda court house on to Greenwood. It is likely that a meeting will be called for the discussion of the project at an early date. Charged With Kidnapping. Emanuel Johnscn, a negro, is in jail here charged with having kidnapped the 10-year-old daughter of George Simpkins, another negro, on the Sch of February, 1903. Johnson was arrested on Saturday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Miller. Johnson ran off as soon as he committed the crime, going to Aiken county, where he has since been reaiding with his brother. The father of the child was yery much elated over the news of the finding of hi9 child, and expressed his thanks to Deputy Sheriff Miller for his good work in bringing Johnson to justice. m n s ^ e Graded School ir sell at Auction, yc ell lots at the rate > Saturd&v.

To the Editor of The Dispatch: Having been appointed as one of a committee by Miss Blue, of Marion, chairman of the Revolutionary Graves Committee, I ask your co-operation in furtherance of this cause. One of the principal labors of the Daughters of the American Revolution is the looking up and the marking of the unmarked graves of the Revolutionary soldiers, whether officers of the highest rank or the humblest soldier. The United States Government will give us head-stones, free of cost, for the graves of those soldiers whose records can be proven. I earnestly request any one who may know of any unmarked Revolutionary grave to write me of it, giving all information possible: such as births and deaths, who married and in what capacity they serred during .the war. Any information sent me will be gladly received, and I hope that any one knowing of such graves will net defer writing to me. I will thank you to give thi3 letter apace in your paper. Mrs. Elizabeth Mc. N. Hamby. 1217 Sumter St., Columbia, S. C. David Mathias Sos. After a long and useful life, in which there had been little or no sickness, the soul of David Mathias So?, on January 20th, left his mortal body, as a lamp flickers out after the last drop of oil is consumed, without pain or anguish at the ripe old age of 8G years, one month and 2G days. He was married to Miss Caroline Spires Jannary 18, 1846. To them were born 12 children, four of them with the mother preceded him to the spirit world. There remains one brother, one sister, four sons, one of whom is Rev, D. A. Sox, four daughters, and 47 grand-children to mourn his departure. He was a faithful soldier all through the war of 1S61 to 1865, surrendering with Gen. Joseph E. Johnson in April, 1865. He was a lifs-l.mg member, and for many years an elder, of Emanuel's E. L.
