Preston L. Thompson, in Belton aot Friday morning, after an illness of :Amn lortnrfrli -rs t Mrs. Bell possessed a sunny disposi tion and made life pleasant with all in ,vhom she came in contact. She joined the Methodist-Church in early , girlhood ind had always lived up to its teach ngs. Truly a good woman has gone to 1er reward. Though her death had seen expected for some days it brings sadness to a large number of friends. A sad feature in the life of this good woman was the "death of her husband two days after the marriage ceremony. She leaves to cherish her memory her father and mother, two sisters and two brothers, besides a large number of relatives in and around Anderson. The remains were interred in the Belton cemetery Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock. - .... . wm - The County Roads. On account of -the unprecedentedly bad weather for the last sixty days, and owing to the heavy downpours of rain in every section of the county, breaking over the public roads of the county and washing them into ditches and gullies,' Capt. S. O. Jackson has been greatly impeded in his work and calculations. ; . . When a section of road was rounded up and well finished, in a few days it was torn all to pieces by heavy rains and all to do over, thus making double work for the chain gang and scrape force. Add to this the limited number of convicts the county has had this year ?nd we may see the difficulties that the Supervisor has been compelled to face. For all thia and notwithstand ing the difficulties in the line of pro gress, -very much has been done, and as we drive through the country and see tha evidences of the struggle and hard fight the Supervisor.has had, wa aro forced to the conclusion that he has done well. But there is yet time bo cover the county if th?* weather will inly hold up.- Thia is truly a record breaking . year, and especially? bad on road-making. . Let aa all be patient and charitable bo those who are making the fight for is; remember that you can work roads wily as you de your fields No ene has seen able to plow six days in six wecke.

Cox has announced that he will at an early date build a new cotton mill at Calhoun Falls in Abbeville County. The mill will have 2-5,000 spindles and a capital stock of $400,000. The num ber of looms will depend upon the class of goods manufactured. A commission will be applied for at once.

Corner Greek News. It is with a feeling of much sadness Tor us to chronicle the death of our j ro tlierr James Brown Gauss way, ,vhich occurred at the home of hia fa her, Mr. B. F. Gassaway, last Thurs ley at 12 o'clock. Ho began suffering with a severe attack of appendicitis on saturday morning, July 28th, and bore t on till the following Thursday when ;he death summons came to his relief. During the five and a half days that ha vas sick, his pains v/ere intense, and ie suffered untold agony, but he bore t bravely and often asked God to give lim faith and courage to baer it on till he end should come. Ie was conscious up till about 20 min ites before his death; talking freely of lis soon leaving us to be at rest and jeace with Jesus in Heaven, praying or his brothers and sisters to live bet er lives, and meet him in heaven. Oh! how sad it seems to us now, and low much we will miss him here, but he Lord knows best, for he never nakes mistakes and some day we'll inderstand. Brown bas been a faithful member >f the Honea Path Baptist Church ince the age of fifteen-always regu ar in attendance at church and Sunday chpol services. He was in his 27th 'ear, and should he have lived till Nov. th, would have been 28. He' had a lice farm and was making preparations o build a dwelling, but he now has a nansion not made with hands where ie can ever dwell in peace with God iis blessed Saviour. The funeral ser ices were conducted in the Baptist Jhurch on Friday, at ll o'clock, by iis much beloved pastor, Br. J. W. ?erry, assisted by Rev. R. W. Burts, iis former pastor and Rev. M. McGee. After the service his .remains were nterred in the Eastview cemetery. Ie leaves a father, mother, three ?rothers and seven sisters here, who hall ever cherish his* dear memory.

(Anderson Mail.) The cheering news comes from Co lumbia that Mr. Caughman, one of the members of the State railroad commis sion, is much opposed to the newly or ganized State Traffic Association. Does Mr. Caughman realize that if we had a railroad commission that was worth its office rent there never would have been any Traffic Association? If the railroad commission was any ac count there would be no necessity for the Traffic Association. Business people who have had occa sion to go before the railroad commis sion during the past few years have become so thoroughly disgusted that they have decided that they will not waste their time in this manner again until there is some change. We vio late no confidence with anybody when we say that Messrs. Wharton and Caughman, two members of the board, are unanimously regarded aa worse than weak-they are useless sa far aa doing anything aa railroad commissions era is concerned. They are openly laughed at by all the railroad people, and just aa openly damned by the peo ple who have appealed to the railroad commission aa an arbiter. Mr. Earle, the third member of tbs commission, ia regarded as an able man and a conscientious one, but bis hands are tied with the other two mem bers constituting a majority. He can do nothing, however much be may be willing. The railroad commission as at present constituted is absolutely worthless. It amounts to nothing. The business people of the State, in simple self de fense, have had to organize for the ac complishment of certain reforms. They are paying the expenses out of their pockets, besides paying the sal aries of the railroad commissioners, indirectly it is true, but they are pay them nevertheless. This year .the people are going to elect a business man, in whom they have confiden. ."!, as a member of the board. This will put two good men on the board, and .then we may expect batter things. And no doubt when Mr. Caughman's term expires the peo ple will make a still further improve ment in the personnel of the board, and then we will have in South Carolina a railroad commission that the people will not be ashamed of. Increase the Yield of Cotton. Iii certain quart r e, where it is pot j \ desired that the Southern States retain <j their domination of the cotton market, it has, been argued thf? ;^ue South will < not be able to imy?t shir increasingd?- ? mand for the staple. Tniri 'section, it is . asserted, can produce hardly more than ; the \ present crop or some 12,000,000, j bales, while the yearly increase in Con sumption ia about 400,000 bales, which j would soon make a crop of 16,000,000 or * 20,000,000 bales necessaiy. This, itga * claimed, cannot .bo produced by tp?; j Southern cotton fields. . . t ..There is nothing whatever in the arr ^ gumer.t. The South, if the price of cot-.- j ton continues remunerative, will meet! \ any reasonable demand The present,- .< crop could be doubled without difficulty, \ provided we could find the labor to tili: * the fields and. harvest the crop. More; than twice the present area devote! to >j cotton could, if necessary,' be put : to th*. f; crop, and 24,000,000 bales produced. ,1 There ?B no doubt aa\ to that aspect Of? ! the problem. . .

Ihe raining of young men in agricultural chools, the adoption of improved meth ods of culture and fertilization, and the >etter knowledge of roils and of the na ure of crops are ali tending to make g he planter more economic and more % killed. Another factor is the incoming >f iinmigranta accustomed to the inten live methods of Europe, who will apply hem here and force their adoption by 1 >ativt competitors. Still another is in he gr?ater division of the available and; we must gradually leam to make nore from the farm as it bounds nar w, raising two bales of cotton where mly one was raised before, This, we believe, is the true solution >f the labor question, as well as the ?est policy for the farmer of the South? i * -The State.
