Editor Keoweo Courier: As we have seeu but very Itttlo said about Richland's progress and enterprise, we will plac? her In the van and tell what Richland ls to-day. Since Christmas there has been erected one of The Largest Rrick Plants In the county. This plant ls incor porated as the Richland Brick Com pany. Its capacity ls 40,000 brick - per day. They are pt pr?sent muk ' lng 25,000 daily, but as the trade opens up they Intend increasing their daily output to meet nil demands. .y have a modern, up-to-date ipment, including a drier, lu? stiilled by the Standard Dry Com p.i.iy, of Indianapolis, Ind., which dries 2.r>,000 a day. The brick are loaded at the machine on cars and run direct into the drier, which eliminates any further handling and insures thom going Into the kiln to be burned as smooth as when made. Their kilns are of the up-draft type, and hold 300,000 at one filling. They have three of these, which are ample to burn the product of the mill. They ha VP very extensive clay fields, where they are now at work, the clay hav ing a depth of eleven feet of a very superior quality. The clay ls of a yellow variety, mixed with blue, and burns a cherry red. They have al present on hand 14,0f'0 cords of wood. The gentlemen who are connected with this plan are T. L. Blvens and J, McD. Bruce, of Plckens, nnd R. R Stevenson, of Richland. Come tc Richland and see this wonderful ma. chine making brick. It shoots then ^ffot almost as fast as a rapid-firing gun can shoot. This ls not a tran slent plant; it ls here to stay. Th? public can be served at any time ant in any quantity. Another PTunt Also. On the east side of Richland J. D l.IcMahan also runs a brick yard with a capacity of about 20,000 t day. The Richland Gin Company J. D. McMahan, manager, gins fron 900 to 1,000 bales of cotton a sea son. A Union Warehouse. The Richland Union Warehouse Joint Stock Company, capital stocl $5,000, has a capacity for storlni one thousand bales, and has beei practically full since built (two sea sons.) T. D. Alexander is president J. D. McMahan, vice president; W ' C. Foster, treasurer and manager. Tho Mercantile Brigade. There are four stores in Richland W. H. Hughs has been in busl ness in this place since 1883. Mt Hughs carries a large stock of gen eral merchandise. He ls a good bus lness man and a Christian gentle man. He has been postmaster con tinuously since that time, and ha been the agent for the Southeri Railroad since 1884. Business don by him for the company per mont is about seven hundred dollars. Mi Hughs also deals in fertilizers. W. C. & E. N. Foster, since Jan nary first, have erected an up-to-dat brick store, 26x80 feet, and have capital stock of $5,000. Their stoc consists of dry goods, notions, stapl and fancy groceries, hardware, fan supplies and fertilizers. They opel N^tLup business In March, 1909. The N^fco a splendid line.

The citizens ?f Richland met the hall on March 10th and orga Ized a W. O. W. Camp, v th 28 nc members and 8 old ones. Officers ar P. C., W. T. Hubbard; C. C., It. Stevenson; A. L" F. N. Fostc Hanker. W. C. Foster; Clerk, N. Sligh; Fst., T. E. Sanders; Watc man, W. ll. Drewer; Sentry. S. 1 Smith; Managers, R. M. Davis, O. Driver and W. H. Rico. This ls good order, socially ns well as fins dally, and tho men who conipr this cami) could be placed alongsl with Lee's vanguard. They are ni of sterling worth. There are two churches at tl place-Richland Presbyterian a Rock Springs Methodist. Sund school at each church ls well attei ed .every Sunday, with preach! t^t*jtce a month. Christian fellowsl lflPvalls. t Richland School. This lg neither a high school i a graded school, strictly speaking. Is graded up through th? fifth gra iieiiv ik:^ :;??&: - k .> .. and above that the pupils are pur suing..iome high school studies, the same pupils taking studies belonging to different years of the high school, "nw'vr, it would be easy to reduce the- work to the high school system If necessary. A few years ago a lady teacher commeticed grading the youngest pu pils, and to her the present teachers are indebted for the gi \ding through the fifth grade already referred to. Before that time the elective plan seems to have prevailed to some ex tent. As the present fifth grade and those below lt can be held to the graded course of study, lt will be seen that In a few years the entire school can be graded, while those now pursuing advanced studies will be In college or high school or through with their common school work. Sixty-live pupils have been enroll ed for this session, of whom 35 are in the principal's room. Ten of this UUmber are In the llfth grade, the 1 remainder following higher studies. | Prof. W. NV. Kennedy is the princi pal and Miss Hortense Jones ls as sistant. Prof. Kennedy informs us that he has never had more earnest j and TndustrioiiB pupils, and that the average attendance is above that of i any other school he has ever con- j trolled. He says that he has used tho honor system In his room from the beginning of the session, and that he has not, up to this time, had a pupil to disappoint him by trying to evade responsibility for misconduct. I There are some fine mathemati- ' clans in this school. We noticed a method new to us, used In this ; school, and we like the plan. As trie teacher called the class to the blackboard to work out a problem he appointed a critic to each pupil. In that way each one Is put on his metal. The critic approves or dis approves as would the teacher, hence all are benefited. Prof. Kennedy and Miss Jones are doing good work at the Richland school. The Agricultural Interests. Richland has a good backing. The lands are productive, and we found some as good farms as you will find anywhere. No better citizens live In any county In the State than In and around Richland. They are In every sense of the word upholders of civil law and social purity. Blood shed, murder and violence are not known here. Every one attends to his own business, and all are allow ed to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, un der his own vine and fig tree. A Hunk is Wanted. The people of Richland are look ing forward with a vigilant eye for a bank and an oil mill to be built In the near future. Why not? The people of the Richland minlty are fully able to "go up and possess the land." Westminster is going to have a railroad. Why? Because the people are talking it up. Talk up, Richland, for your bank and oil mill. Railroad Facilities. Trains stop on flag at Richland for the accommodation of the public.

"Some ten weeks ago a sudden pain came in my right arm," writes Mrs. Marguerite Rau, G23 Franklin street, York, Pa. "The doctor called it inflammatory rheumatism. For about seven weeks I doctored with different remedies without getting any relief. My arm was swollen from the elbow to the tips of my fingers and was all black and blue and looked as though there was something drawing at the elbow and as if it would break open. The pain was so great that 1 could not sleep. I finally bought a bottle of Sloan's Liniment and that gave me relief at once. 1 have lb ? three 25c. bot tles and am now using a 50c. bottle. "I feel that my recovery is due to Sloan's Liniment. It did more for me in three weeks than all the other doc toring I eve) did." Before lt slips your mind buy a i bottle of Sloan's Liniment.

Vellrath, William.-Ou the 28th ay of November God gave him to his parents. On the 23d of Decem ber death claimed his loving mother, Mid on the 2 1th of February the angels came and claimed little Wil liam, and his gentle spirit winged Its Hight heavenward. For nine days the disease preyed upon the frail form of William. The kindest and most careful attention of loving fa ther, sisters and friends, together with skilful treatment of the attend ing physician, was given him, but God wanted him to live with Him and called him home. For three months the home was Ulled with Joy and sunshine, but soon the home was darkened with sadness when the lit tle spirit took Its Sight to the realms above. Little William budded on earth to bloom lu heaven. When the angels came and plucked this bud lt left a vacant place In his home that can never be Ulled. While we sadly miss him, we can only say, "Thy will be done." After funeral services, conducted by Dr. J. G. Law, the little body was laid to rest in Hethel cemetery. Many sorrowing friends mingle their tears of sympathy with those of the bereaved family. * Phlllip?i Clayton f.-Departed this life April 8, 1909. Mr. Phillips died after an illness of about nine days from penumonln. He died peacefully at lils home In Anderson. Mr. Phil lips was a son of the late Capt. Na thaniel and Mahala Phillips. He was born in Rabun county, Georgia, February 10, 1861. He was 48 I years of age. He leaves a wife and one little girl and one brother, P. K. Phillips, of Westminster, and three sisters, Misses Mary and Mi nerva Phillies and Mrs. G. C. Arve, of Long Creek, to mourn the loss of a devoted husband, kind father and loving brother. He was a favorite with all who knew him. It ls hard to give him up, but lt ls God's will, and we have the sweet consolation that we shall meet him again. Mr. ?Phillips had been a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church for 24 years. It was a mat ter of i Ide with him that he had never sworn an oath i-or been in toxicated in his life. He lived a Christian life. On November 1st, 1896, he was happily married to Miss Jennie Sanders, of Franklin, N. C., who survives him. The funeral ser vices were conducted at his home by his pastor, Rev. Snider, and lils body was gently laid to rest In the cemetery In the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
