the United Stabs until. t Washington,
has recently returned from an
official tour of Western pointH.
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. Tlio activity.

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

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.
Mi (john lloko, of this place, has

the bridge but irnve up the position
Ion account of the dan^or and returned

About three hundred employees
of the VVIudey cotton milt in Columbia
were locked out Monday
morning. Trouble hus been brewliriK
between the operatives and
I employers for several days on ncjcount
of an order for the operatives
to work overtime to make up
the time that will he lost on Laboi
iday. A meeting of iiie unions
were held and conferences bet ween
the laborers and thoir employers
look place, but it did not help out
the cause. President Whah-y de.clares
that he will shut down the

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
AUDREY S, N. C.
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

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

in their bereavement. D.
