Those who are legally qualified to votVamong the citizens of this city will decide today by ballot whether or not this city will issue .$20,000 in bonds to assist in the building of the Orangeburg railroad and also to show the promoters that this c'ty is interested in the proposition. The books of registration for this elec tion closed last, week and although the number registered is small, it is thought that the bond issue wiil win out. The Orangeburg railway is to run from Orangeburg to North, a dis tance of J 8 miles. This road is to be constructed by a private corpora tion and operated by this corpora tion, but will have traffic arrange ments with the Seaboard- Air- Line railway, whose line the Orangeburg railway connects with it at North. *ir. William C. Wolfe is backing j Ithis undertaking. Actual construc tion of the road will begin as soon as possible after the election on Tues day, if the bonds are voted. Mr. Wolfe is a man that never does [things by halves, and we have no doubt but that he will push this road through, hot only to North, but j eventually; to Springfieldas well. W? [believe that the investment of $20, 000 in the enterprise by .the ,city would eventually pay it ^and'somely. GOOD SHOWS COMING. "Sins of a Father" and "Girl iu the ! "Taxi" Coming.

What Charleston Needs. The State says: "The chamber of commerce of Charleston has set about an earnest cooperation with business men of Orangeburg for the improvement of the Kdisto river and will raise ten thousand dollars at once to assist the accomplishment of the project. Not only should the plans, when carried into effect, yield direct profits, but. additionally, com mercial good feeling will be pro moted between the two cities. In that. Charleston has a great deal to gain?what the city needs is inti mate friends among the cities it the State." THJIEE BAUES TO THE ACRE. A Georgia Furnier Claims to Have Had Such a Yield. Mr. John B. Broadwell, a. farmer over in Georgia claims to have made twelve baleB of cotton on four acres. This is a big yield, but we are nor prepared to question it, as there is no telling what can be produced on one acre of ground where all the improved methods of farming ar-1 carefully looked after. Mr. Broad well gives careful seed selection credit mainly for his remarkable success. I He says in selecting his seed he has followed the simple method of choosing one of the best locks from each of a given number of his best ?bolls and then taking from each of [these locks only the center.seed. He has found in' seven years of experi mentation that seeds from the cen ter of the lock show a germination average of 99 per cent., as against 75 per cent, from seed from the bass iand 96 per cent, for seed from the I tip. ? 1 If there is anything in Mr. Broad well's method of selecting seed, oth er farmers should adopt it. It would I take considerable time and much [trouble to sleet seed as he does,.but still if it increases the yield to any extent it will pay for itself. We saw an acre once 'That produced two* bales, and we thought that was the best that could be done, but this Georgia farmer seems to have beat it. We wish some Orangeburg farm er would try Mr. Broadwell'6 seed selection on a small scale, and see how It works. * ? - SHOULD BE HEEDED. The Supreme Court Decision a Much Needed Warning. In commenting on the WilsonrGue decision The State' says "to those a.utomobillsts having proper regard tor- the rights of others, and 4 hu-; 'mane horror of causing deat,h or in jury, the decision of the Supreme Court in.affirming a judgment, of. $1,000 found in the lower dourt against an Orangeburg.automobilists for damage to a horse and buggy aud injury to the occupants of the buggy, will have no effect. Such persons do not need the fear of punishment to make them careful and consider ate; they respect the common rights in public highways, an.d they do not take chances with other people s lives. "But there Is another element that this decision will effect and they need the warning. Two or three members of such an element may bring general reproach upon three hundred automobiljsts in a county and incite antagonisms .that should not exist. There are well defined laws of the road, but since the ad vent of power .vehicles it is more im portant than ever to observe the de cencies of the road." / That Cotton Picker. We publish on this page an ac count of the'?; working of the Price Campbell Cotton Picker in a trial made recently in Texas. When this same machine was tried last year in Marlboro County the Pee Dee Ad vocate said "the work of the ma chine was marvelous to those who saw it. it got the cotton nearly all Crom the stalks und got very little more trash than most careless pick ers get. it picked a bale an hour in thick cotton, with only on^e man to operate it and a little negro boy to keep tho cotton packed in a sack to keep it from running over before the machine finished a row." Has the long looked .for cotton picker at last arrived ? Orungeburg's Good ltoads. In speaking of a party who made an automobile trip from Charleston to Augusta the Chronicle says they report the roads in pretty bad ahape. j From Charleston to Summervilie, a distance of.. 25 miles, 12 miles of the road was. good, and the rest poor. From Summervilie to Orange burg. a distance of 54 .miles, 00 miles of the road was fair,' the rest pretty rough. From Orangeburg to Columbia the road was fair, and from Columbia to Augusta, by way of Alken, the road was bad. They report all the roads they traveled byer in Orangeburg county us fair. Most people who travel over them pronounce them good. Along the RJght Line. President F. J. D.
