a road running through there now
but it makes no connection from thi

There are two Coast Line trains leaving
Columbia in the afternoon, one o
them goes to Wilmington, N. C., an<
the otjier to Charleston, and both
Sumter. The Coast Line has alway<
furnished a very good service to th<
j people over this side of the state, but
of course, does not care abo-ut mak

railroad fare h^s.got so high that :

? .We left Newberry at 12:30 anc
reached Kingstree at 9:20 wiih a twc
hours stop in Columbia and a stoi
^ fir supper at Florence. That is, 1
meanthat Dr. J. L. Daniel and my
seH made the trip. Florence has
mjade a good many changes since ]
had been there, and the town has
gnown v^ry- much in spite of the hare
times and business seemed to be good,
I came" very near 'going ^to Florence
a ?ood many years ago to make it
my Jiome. It was just before Mr. W.
P. Houseal and myself went into the
newspaper business together. That
was before the county of Florence
| was -formed, tat there was a good
nniVrnur? /"ontflr fit fhp f.nwn and a enn
siderable town, and Mr. C. H. Prince
was running a job office and in coni
nection with it a newspaper as a sort
of side issue may be, but at any rate
he was a good newspaper man, as
newspaper men went in those days,
and he made money at the business.
He made me an offer to come tc
Florence and write about a column oi
editorial for his paper a week, anc
? he would pay me $40.00 per month

I tabKsh a law office. That was s
pretty good salary then for the worl<
required, and for a young fellow jusl
starting out, and I had made up my
< mind to accept that offer then Mr,

berry. Well, I reokon it was all foi
tSe 'best. But Florence has grown
1 since those days to be one of the
. cities of .South Carolina, and there is
a fine county now. Mr. Prince afterward
studied medicine ar.d I sup
f/uoc 13 yiatwv,j-ug suuicniicic in uic
state, though I have not seen him ir
a good many years. I haps he is prospering.
On the return trip we had
about an hour step in Florence and
. it gave me an opportunity to walk up
town and in the walk I intended tc
take in the office of the Daily Times
'but met Mason Brunson before we
. reached the office. He has been ir
. the newspaper business for a gooc
i ? while and is now the editor of The
Times. My friend Hartwell Ayei
conducted this paper for a good
while and I believe established the
daily. But Hr.rtwell has turned ir
his last copy and passed to the othei
side and while yet in the vigor of his
manhood.

Arriving at Kingstree and leaving
at 7 o'clock in the morning there was
no opportunity to see this town, ana
that was not our mission any way.
But I did see some little of the town
of Kingstree and it is growing and
4ias -many very handsome homes and
broad streets. It has grown very
) much since my first trip there many
ye^rs ago. The tobacco business
helped the town, but they fell me that
the crop this year was not only short
but the price was way down, and as
for cotton tfre boll weevil has taker
^ - it. We spent the night with Mr. Le
rov Lee a prominent lawyer and who
by the way, married a Newberry girl
Miss Eva Riser. They have a mag- i
*> nlfiicent home built with broa<l piaz- *
;* zas and wide halls and just suited to !
our southern climate. And Mrs. Lee ]
'f is a beautiful housekeeper. Mrs. Lee 1
t has a sister who also lives in Kings

A man was called upon to testify j

j I yards that were handled in some nil-;
j ing work near his place. He showed
11 very little knowledge of the matter,
' i and his idea of a cubic yard was so
indefinite that it seemed doubtful
whether he knew what the teri^
meant. In order to make its mean-,
ing clear the judge said:
"Listen, my man! Just suppose |
i this ink-stand to be three feet across
i
[ the top.this way and three that way'
' j and three feet in height, what should
you call it?" j
