Wednes day, took in Beaver Dam and closed at Mendenhall's Mill on Thursday. The amount of fish caught was not large, but the enjoyment was great. The party was variously composed of a mas ter in equity. a sheriff, a trial justice, a preacher, an editor, a merchant, a tan ner, a stone cutter, a locksmith and a butcher. The merchant constituted himself cook and proved a good one, and the supper of fresh eggs and other dainties, with coffee brewed on the spot, was a royal one, but the next morning's breakfast, which was largely of fish, was the crowning'meal. We enjoyed it so much that we are ready for ano thier. Newberry College, S. C.

Snif fles, he having received this compli mentary prefix at the Cowpens Centen nial-soon after our return from Flori da, called to see if we had brought back anything new from the land of flowers. He came in. by the back gate, preferring that way to coming through the house with the risk of meeting the ladies, and the first thing he stumbled over was the alligator's den. His iminpulsiveness nearly cost him the loss of a leg, or per haps his head, or an arm, for he was about to precipitate headforemost. Our prompt interference saved the Colonel from so sad a fate. "Great Jehosophat! what in thunder have you got there?" said he, recoiling in alarm. "A live alligator," was the reply, "well known for its love of nigger babies, or white ones when it can't do better." "Where did you get it. and what are you going to do with it?" "In Jacksonville, Flori da," in answer to the first, and to the second, that "it was the intention of that boy of ours to work him in double harness with the goat previously men tioned." "Well," said Sniffles, "that beats all, you newspaper men are al ways up to something. Whoever heard of an alligator and a goat working in harness; some of the readers of the HERALD may believe it, but not I." tnder the promise to let him know when all was ready for the experiment. Sniffles departed, muttering "what next, I wonder." Do not fail to call on your druggist for a bottle of that pure, sweet and dle licious blood purifier, Smith'q Scrofula Syrup.

Moore, A.M., President of Moore's Southern Business Universi ty, Atlanta, Ga.-This is to certify that Ihave used Dr. Cheney's Expectorani in my family for several years, and car recommend it as an invaluable remedj for Coughs. etc.. and have found it su perior to any other remedies that I haY< tried. For sale by Dr. W. E. PEL. President A. C. Maybin, of the "Maybin ton Short Line", Interviewed. A report having been circulated that Mr. Maybin contemplated selling out to the Clyde Combination, a reporter was sent to interview the Colonel, that the truth might be laid before the pub lic. Rep.-Mr. Maybin, having heard cer tain rumors in connection with your road. I would ask if you intend leasing it to the Clyde Combination? Mr. M.-No, sir! I have nothing of that kind in %icw. I disapprove of combinations; besides the Legislature would oppose it. Rep.-It has been asserted that your line was built by the Laurens Railway Company, and that during the tempo rary suspension of that road its rolling stock was transferred to you by its offi cers. If this be true the Clyde Combi nation must own a controlling idLterest in your road. Mr. M.-For a long time my "Short Line" was in debt, and under control of the L. R. R.; but the splendid business that it has done in the last five years has enabled me to remove all indebted ness, and it is now a separate and dis tinct corporation-and in fact my own property. (Rep.-Whew!) Besides this, the business is increasing so rapid ly that I shall be compelled to make great additions to meet the increased demands. What I propose is, to place sleeping eLrs on all through trains, to uniform conductors, lay the entire line with new steel rails, and extend the road to Scott's Creek, in order to con nect with the Steamers now plying on that stream, and to make a through 4 route to the seaboard by the way of Bush River. Rep.-I suppose you will not be con tent until your line shall reach across the broad Atlantic? Mr. M.-Well, sir, to be candid, I must acknowledge that a line of steam ers from my terminus to Archangel, on the Northern coast of Russia. is a plank in my platform-so to speak-and in the course of time I propose to establish a line to the North Pole in order to get ice cheap during the Summer. Rep.-Well, I suppose the lease ques tion is settled? Mr. M.-Yes, sir. The only combi nation that would suit me, would be to lease the Clyde myself, run it in con nection with my road, and have the controlling power in my own hands. About this time Mr. R. S. Maybin, Conductor, called "all aboard!" and as the President of the "Short Line" was going on a trur of inspection be left the astonished rporter and stepped on the platform of his special car. As the train was slowly moving off he looked out of the window and smilingly said: If th1ings turn out as I expect, I'll startle ail creation, I'll lease the Clyde, and then I'll have The "Maybin Combination". For further particulars concerning the "Short Line" call on the President at No. 2 Railroad Street, opposite the Telegraph Office. "I Don't Want that Stuff," Is what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter, it was adminis tered to her with such good results, that she continued its use until cured, and made so enthusiastic in its praise, that she induced twenty-two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine.

This road has been leased for ninety-nine years by the Columbia and Greenville Rail Road Company, at $50, 000 per year. We enjoyed a drive out six miles on the Caldwell road Thursday. Cotton along the way is looking well, though some of it is quite grassy. The few corn fields along the road do not look promising. In passing, we would say that wie believe it to be a mistake to plant corn in this section except in rich bottom-upland corn is not as profitable as cotton. Oats looks very po'w There are a few patches of wl,eat along the road; this crop looks very little, if any, better than the onts. Mr. Crotwell has a beautiful patch of wheat just beyond his house. We had the pleasure last Wednesday evening of meeting and forming the ac quaintance of T. F.

Greneker, but an ed itorial affinity had bound us in the ties of friendship and we met and parted, not as strangers who extend the hand for courtesy's sake, but rather as old fa miliar acquaintances, as members of the same family, brothers who were ready to confide to each otber secrets that the world may not know. During our three and a half years of newspaper life we have met comparatively few members of the South Carolina press and we are therefore exceedingly proud that the opportunity was afiorded us of meeting the veteran editor of the New - berry HERALD.
