We venture the assertion that not a student ever went forth from .our little city, but weftt away with the best wishes of our people; they gave him encouragement during,school life and when he departed, took him by the hand and said, "God speed thee/' Not one who has finished the course in our school, wherever1 he may be, but -wishes our town and her people well, for it ,was among our Christian people,'surrounded by an influence that was elevating and noble, animated by \| \ the splendid example of our citizens .that he received the foundation which makes him today, the upright citizen in any com-* saunity in which hn rqay live. : Wbete tke Candidate!

C., Aug. 14. Editor Times: Illness and other matters have so pressed upon me that this letter has been unexpectedly long-delayed. After writing to you last spring about the location of this village and the trip made through this section by George Washington, suggestions from others caused me to inquire about the roads. I was under the impression that the original Steele Creek road was the present route (except the part crossing Twelve-Mile creek at a ford and traversed by Washington) from Fort Mill by! way of Doby's bridge, Belairand Six-Mile church. On inquiring I iind that Six-Mile church formerly stood about one and a half miles northeast of ifs present j site on the road to Marvin as the mail route now goes; that the crossing of Twelve-Mile creek was by ford at Miller', mill: that the old road was separated from the present one about half r ini. east of Osceola and ran by the presimt residence of T. W. Se-, crest, Esq., and, crossing the creek at Miller's mill, on nor'Inward by the original Six-Mile: church, then by J. W. Hall's ginnery to Pleasant Valley. From i there it seems that the road ran ; back of Mr. Jan.js Bailes's, crossing Shugaw creek at or near Ward's old mill, and on old Unity church. Some of ^^^inquiring minds on your route must attend to iu^p^r location beyond Pleasant Vallev and Ward's mill. This discovery does not change the route traveled by Washington, it only applies to the location of the Steele Creek road. But tradition further states that Cornwall is, commanding the British army, cut out the old Washington road from about the present site of SixMile church southward to said junction with the original Steele Creek road, crossing the creek at the Washington Ford. I suppose Cornwallis found a neighborhood trail and enlarged it. probably finding the old the old read in bad condition or the crossing of the creek difficult. There is an old graveyard ;?t the former location of the church. The china h was burned, nfter which ii v is rebuilt?probably eighty or ninety years ago. I am not positivd.N informed as to that date, nor am I sure of the reason for the change of location; but it is fa to presume that the Corneal lis road had become a more pubiic thoroughfare and that the heavier numbers of membership resided in such locations as to induce removal. -Our little city, composed of twenty-seven whites and three negros, is now doing some wood and lumber business; the local ginner is sharpening his gin preparatory to putting the fleecy ptaple on the market: the fisheries are not remunerative by reason of continued fullness of the creek; lire smithv is auiotlv re posing under its elm shade: the R. R. agent is a woman?wife of the man who pumps here and at Rocky Creek, going back and forth on tne train, and both are assisted by a lovely 15-year-old daughter; our only store lias been pnlargod and is ready to treat Customers "with more hostility": and the weather continues to make farmers look blue. The county candidates beam their circuit today by holding forth at Belair: they are, like Bill. Arp's wife and -children, "numerous and interesting." Only seven are offering for county supervisor, which s.*oms to be the place most sought after, although the holder thereof gets more "cussin" than any other officer: but maybe he also gets paid for that. There arc twenty-, three performers in this circus: all have plenty of associates in their gymnastics except that the candidate for probate judge floats ' through space on his lonely trapeze: however, he does not seem to grieve over, his loneliness. Tomorrow they repeat their performance at Van Wyck. News is scarce as hen's teeth. Cantaloupes are exhausted and Wnti>1*mnlr>ne u/?.i>.>? tvtwvi c*i * ov-ai v v: u v> in'; ii? wet weather: wherefore we are left to discnss tomatos and tear up the reputation of our neighbors.

Mees talked inter estingly of the work now being , I done at the Falls. The entire j surrounding country has undergone a revolution, and it is des- ( tined to become a center of vast commercial importance. Mr. Mees says, and he is authority on such subjects, that! the plant at the Falls will be second only to that at Niagara when it is hnished. and next to Niagara it will involve the least expense for operating. The full capacity of the plant will bo about 40,000 horse power, with probably a few thousand additional in the way of secondary current. Mr. Mees thinks that Chester on account of her position should be one of the lirst to reap advantage from the j Mammoth plant, though as soon a? the dam is completed, the j i.rst work to be 'lone will be to string a line to the power house j near Fori Mill. The plant will not be entirely completed b\ the first of the year, though at that time there i- ?io doubt that the company will he able a) hi! their contract:' for the delivery of power. Mi*, foees says that orders are pouring ai with startling: rapidity, and tin? company could easily arrange to dispose of a product twit ? .h great. The following extract from The Augusta < nronide will give some additional light on this interesting and important plant: "Few people have any idea," said a gentleman from South i Carolina Saturday, of "the vest amount of work that is now being done in dev doping the wat i powers along the Catawba and Broad rivers, and at the Narrows i of the Yadkin river. Several thousand men are at work, and millions of dollars will be spent to develop electrical power. "The power from the develop- < ment at Fort Mill. S.

The management of the Charlotte Brick company has hit upon a very unique scheme of getting foreign laborers for its plant near this place, and of keeping them in good humor. Several weeks ago the concern imported from New York al.oi' tl 'rty immigrants, indue': several nationalities. The men were lodged in a ro of houses between the brick plant and the Southern Hallway, a house inir given to the men of eacn nationality. With ,the idea of pleasin.g the men the management of .he company a short while ago secured a 1 lag of each nation rem. s,.sited and put it over the ? ouso :'i v. hich the men of that nationality were quartered. i The f!a<r scheme worked like a charm. It seemed to keep the men in a good humor. The (jjermars. lodged in tne first housg,retook especial pride in the Hat? thai boated over theirabode. 1 The Swedes, eyed their banner with pride also, and even the Russians seemed pleased. Two or three Filipinos demanded that the stars and stripes he placed over their shack and they were gratified. L>ul the good humor of the men was not the only good result of the display of the tlags. A few days after they had been released to the breeze, two German immigrant, who were passing on the train saw the colors of their country, got oil the train at Fort Myll. went to see their brethren the brick ! plant are now at ^*erk there, i One or two other immigrantsl h: ve been caught that way. | it. is estimated that 20.00b em- j ployesof lithographing firms in the United States ar^ on a strike, 1 A MYSTERY SOLVED.
