The man who gets mad at what the newspapers say about him should return thanks three times a day for what the papers know about him but don't say. | Many of our best farmers think that the cotton crop in this section will notj average over fifty per cent. The crop has deteriorated very much in the last few weeks. > The reunion of Co. G is to take place at Bethesda church today (Thursday.) No doubt a large crowd will attend and enjoy the day with the old soldiers. Addresses will be made during the day. As usual Bamberg county is ahead with the first bale of cotton. Last Friday Hon. H.

Major Hays is one of the most universally popular men in all this section, and all his friends unite in wishing fordiitn a speedy recovery. Next week Misses Mamie O'Cain and Rosalie Barton will go to New York in the interest of Kohn's Emporium.

The settlement was made and was a satisfactory one, the showing of our county being exceptionally good from a financial standpoint. It will be seen that only $4,600 has been borrowed this year, and the county is nearer out of debt than for years. It -is confidently expected that next year all indebtedness will be paid and we will get on a cash basis. Following are the figures: BECEIPTS.

On the first day of July the county could have paid the borrowed money and had some funds left on hand, but that would not have left enough money to run the county until taxes were collected.

Chester, Aug. 6.?A terrible accident took place here Friday night brief mention of which has already been made in The State. Shortly after 9 o'clock three yonng men were standing near an electric light post, when one of their number, Mr. John S. Weir, took hold of, it is supposed unthinkingly, the wire used for lowering and hoisting the electric lamp. He instantly fell back unconscious, and in a few minutes life was extinct. Young Weir was in the employ of the Southern railway as a fireman, and was spending a few days vacation here wi:h relatives, intending to return to Columbia Friday night. The young man was about 21 years of age and" of steady habits. His body was taken to his old home and buried in Beard Creek churchyard.

Hoot of the DkrttaM at a Height of Twenty urn Foot Above Loaf Stretchee of I Water Win Command Pinwiger Paelneee to Cuba. The new railroad wbicb Henry M. Flagler, president of the Florida East Coast railway, Is a boot to build from Miami, jtul, torougu roe r tonua Keys , to Key West will be 154 miles long and | for tbe greater part of its length will ; be an intertsland road, threading its ! way through tbe keys which lie off the 1 southern and southeastern coast of the i state, says the Chicago Tribune. In order to pass from key to key the roadbed will have to be built over long stretches of water at tbe average 1 height cft twenty-seven feet Just how many millions it will cost to construct the road Mr. Flagler and t his engineers have not been able yet to estimate, but when tbe road is finished 1 it will have absolute command of the rapfcDy increasing passenger business to Cuba. It also will be tbe nearest rail point in the United States to the eastern end of tbe Panama canal . It is believed the possibilities of tbe road tn connection with the rapidly growing commerce of the United States with West Indian and Central American points will warrant the great outlay for construction. It wtU be the first attempt that has ever been made to build a rood more than 100 miles long over a series of islands, necessitating the construction of more than half the road over the water. From Miami to a point near Mangrove point the road will follow closely the coast fine of Biscayne bay. Somewhere near Mangrove point the road will leave the mainland and will cross Card's sound to Largo key, one of the largest islands in the string. From the time it leaves the mainland, whether It be crossing tbe shallow waters or running along tbe keys themselves, it will have for its foundation - -* J .?1M tviulo A# MMl iwk toe utwy nuu bvhu uno v* .v.? No more substantial roadbed titan this could possibly be devised. Prom Largo key to Matacumba key the islands be dose together, but between Matacumba and Long keys a considerable channel intervenes, as is also the case between Long key and Estetta key, only In the latter instance the way is broken by the Duck keys, which are really nothing more than points of coral sticking up above the surface of the watet, which will serve as anchors for the bridge work. From Boot key to Behfca Honda an extremely dUBcoftt piece of bridge work will have to be accomplished, hot from Batrf* Honda to Key West, which is only forty mites, the way is doseiy strewn with keys. The bridge between tho Boot and Behia Honda win be seven mites long, and the coot of this one piece of work wili ran into the mbQons. In ab the world there wbl be nothing ttke it When looking over the plans for this road recently Mr. Flagler remarked facedoody that travelers wonkl not be troubled with dust From the time the road teases the mainland there is scarcely anything but water or solid rock. In a acente way the road will be - *" mm * 1 ? Kb nnn ftf QOUUW. 1UB vrwra wu< uv wwu v> beeotiftri southern waters, with all their tenderness of tint and with the scores at keys or islets, great and small, which wtfl make the voyage a wocdertand. The first surveys were made to Cape Sable, across the Everglades, bat when this was made Mr. Flagler ftxxnd he was sixty miles from Key West and twelve miles from what Is known as the three fathom line of the golf. He therefore decided to undertake the greater proposition and to buOd the One to conform more nearly with the coast The position of Florida with relation to important southern points?Panama and Coba?makes this road of exceptional Importance in the extent of onr trade. A One drawn from Miami to the southward wooid pass midway through Cuba and strike Oofon, one of the tenntaati at the Panama canal. Kef West Bterafly dominates Coba, and 00. this island Mr. Flagler is planning to bolkl a splendid system of terminals, filiing la vast stretches of the shoes wtth a* singular kind of white mad found a little distance away. There wtil be twelve ptera, each 900 feet long and 300 feet wide, covered with dhsd& and wtfh basins 200 feet wide between them, affording berths for a tptsl at forty-eight large ships. Spoca tm also bean provided for a complete dry dock of sufficient capacity to ease for the largest ship* The boDdtnf of this road will open up paasttrfBOes for the building of many new reeocts and wW afford exceptional facilities tar tnrvd to Cuba. Season by season the travel to Havana grows geatifl and greater, and last season foe steamers in use were noable to care for ail the business offered them. Mr. Piagier is largely interested in the railways of Cuba, and v- "* ? a# loot winter in 1U9 lycwi <* ^wuyu w ww ? veetigati^g the future possibilities of that oocntiy. The benefits which he will derive, therefore, from his new extension will not come wholly from the road Itself, but from the Increment on his island investments. Artificial Silk Factory.
