Mr.^JRpherts said that he believed that the corn crop had been very seriously injured by the long drought, nnd that it would he a very serious affair for the corn belt region nnd for the country generally were it not for the fact that the West had so much money in wheat. "This year's wheat crop is the greatest in history," said Mr. Rob. erts, "and with the short crops abroad it is bringing a groat deal of money. Kansas and Nebraska have, done'so well on wheat that Arc in a position to stand the loss on corn uuej Minnesota aud the Dakota* are vastly better off than they were last year. The Joss on corn, however, will be badly felt throughout the great cattle and hog-raising States. It means denrer fodder and more costly meats. , It is encouraging, however, to note in this connection that the situation is generally very -. cheerfully accepted. Trade is good, improvements are being continued and there is little discouragement. It is to my wind convincing proof that the farmers of the West jp'e yery prosperous. The country is * under a tremendous momentum of prosperity an,d neither thp injury to crops nor the troubje in the trades can make a serious bait, in its forward march.

There Beeinj to be no logical reason why that * brand of prosperity should not be always on hand." ? t ' | ' t * Fanecfor Bates in Now Zealand. We hear a great deal about the "noble charities" which give the ., forking people and poor children ip the large cities a taste of sea or country air. This is all very well In its way, but is there not a hotter way? It seems to me there is, as I read how they manage these things in New Zealand, where the government (otherwise the people) own the railroads, says Kiln Whfpler WileoK. Children in that country under fifteen years of age are carried at rates so low that a ride of one hundred and fifty miles and hack costs only tif;y cents?four miles for a cent. Older children and teachers pay $1. Children of priW*ry grades are carried free hetwppn school districts. Scholars who wf\nt to go further can secure tickets at very low rates. The working people are given the same rates for holiday trips as the school children. They can I_ ^ it _1 :l l i J Ci oiae iut;ir cnimren unoer nnven and go fifty inileH and hark for sixty-eight rents each for the purents and twenty-nine cents for the little ones. \Vorkinpmc:n's traiiiH aro run from towns to suburban limits at a eost of fifty cents a weok. These trains are free to all who wish to ;blc in them Meantime the railroad thrives and makes a fair profit. There are no ruilway magnates who own palaces and whole towns in New Zealand to be sure, but there are workjinx people who can enjoy a pleasant outing at small cost am) be ppared the consciousness that it is charity-? bestowed by a millionaire yrhose millions the workmen made. Ttrrjble Accident Nc&r Columbia. ; Five men were killed and aeverai injured Monday morning by thy felling of a steel girder weighing ?0^000 pounds on the Southern railroad bridge over the Congnree . river at Columbia. Anew bridge js being built and two girders were suspended in the air about 15 feet pbove the bridge. The raina of thy night before had caused the hpmp ropeg to stretch and when the aun reached them they contracted, pulling the girdere out of f)lnmb. The contractor saw that |je girdera were going to fall and warned the workmen but they were unable to get out of danger before ' they came down, one falling in the river and the other on the bridge, crushing the lives out of five of the workmen and injuring several others. Some of the men jumped into V <v the river.to enve their lives.

Aug. 20.?The rain during the pant week has caused all farm work to be suspended and kept farmers ont of town. They have only been able to visit among friends and relatives on account of the high waters. The roads are showing the effects of the bad weather as well as the crops. We would like for the county commissioners of York county to take a ride over Barber's bridge and especially over the road on this side. It is almost impassable. We do not know who the road overseor is but this piece of road needs working ami needs it I badly and unless it is worked soon i the road will have to be closed up. The meeting at Harrison church closed last Friday, llev. Carver I returned to his home in Waxliaw. Our people were delighted and greatly benefitted by the sermons of Rev. Carver and hope to have 1 him with us a pa in in the future. He is a hard-working and earnest man. The meeting at Hanks' has' also closed. The attendance was not as large as usual on account J of the inclement weather and bad j roads. Mr. S [j. Mcnchani, of the Fort' | Mill Telephone Exchange, was in ! our neighborhood last week looking af er the placing of the poles for the extension of the telephone line from Capt. Ardrey's residence to i Providence church. The wires will he strung next week and the line will be in ready for use in about ton days. Quite a number of our citizens attended the funeral services of j the late John A. Younts at Pine- j ville last Saturday. Mr. Younts had many friends throughout our section and his family has the sympathy of our entire community j in their bereavement. D. PLEASANT VALLEY, S. C.
