It seems that most of the people
here are either too busy «>r b'o
negligent as to writing our county
paper a few dots; so I will have to
_come to the front again, and let the
readers of this paper know that we
are hustling people ready and able
to cope with our sister towns.
We are glad indeed to see so many
people daily coming to our town on
shopping tours, besiness, and socially.
We. southerners, are a people much
noted for hospitality and I’m sure
Kutfin has its share.
H W DuBois of Walterboro past
through our midst last week.
L M Herndon and son Frank were
to Ruffin on business last Wednes
day.
Miss Y'iola Breland of Lodge paid
Ruffin a short visit last Thursday.
She was accompanied by her cousin,
Mr Clarence Poston.
It will indeed be a pleasure to have
“Unity.” join us at our society next
meeting, and if possible honor us
with their help as well as please us
with their presence. Our door is
always open beckoning and pleading
with all cur friends to come hither
and join us in our noble work, and
lets do all in our power to upbuild
humanity.
Miss Maude Padgett, one of our
Ruffin belles is somewhat indisposed.
She surely has our sympathy, and
we trust she will soon be seen on the
streets again.
T M Williams visited his mother
at Lodge a few days since. His
recovery after an illness of several
days seems to illuminate Ruffin with
a ray of sunshine. We truly hope,
he will continue to improve rapidly*
Our Ruffin Literary Society meet
ing was one of much note on Satur
day night Sept. 25. We met at an
early hour and carried out a very
interesting program. Our query
being. “Resolved that immigration
is a help to America.” Sorry in
deed were we that two of the de
baters, on account of sickness, were
absent, but in a few moments two
of our earnest workers consented to
fill their places and we had a real
warm discussion. The judges final
decision was in favor of the affirma
tive. After the debate adjourned
we were very much honored by an
address given by Mr Perry Hudson,'
of our able workers. He surely gave
us some very beneficial advice.,
God grant that we may be able to
pull many more boys out of the ruts
of timidity, and place them on the :
road for a high ideal.
Before closing the meeting our
Pres. T. A Black opened the doors
of the Society, and in a few short
remarks pictured very plainly to us
the good derived from Literary work
and we were the recipients of several
members. God speed the time that j
our old Anglo Saxon race will take a '
greater interest in education.
• Our next meeting will convene on j
Saturday ni^ht Oct. 9, at 8 o’clock,!
our query is, "resolved that educa
tion should be compulsory,” affirma
tive Della Drawdy and Perry Hud
son; Negative Beatrice Ulmer and
Ben Crosby. Everybody is urged
to join and help us.
Dr Willis Hudson, of route No 2
visited the home of Mr Robt Black,
Tuesday night last.
Mrs Amanda Drawdy and children
of Drawdys have returned home
after a very pleasant visit to her
sisters Mrs B B Crosby’s and Mrs H
D Padgett.
Dr C J Goodwin left us on last
Tuesday for Charleston where he
will attend the Medical College. We
hate to give him up, even for assort
time, one of our handsome boys; but
glad indeed are we to see him aiming
for a high ideal in life. We wish for
him much success.
“Nude” Henry Crosby one of our
much beloved and aged gentlemen
departed this life for his home on
high Thursday Sept. 30. None can
ever be competent to fill his place
here. We greatly sympathize with
the bereaved family.
Willie Zeigier, of Bamberg, a
traveling agent for Mr Thos. Black,
passed through our town Thursday.
Prosperity.
Ruffin Sept. 30.

The tests were in every respect
satisfactory and have convinced the |
most skeptical of the great economy
and efficiency of these machines.
Two manufacturers of road rolling,
machines competed, the J J Case
Threshing Machine Co and the Hu
ber Manufacturing Co, each enter
ing one of their latest model ten ton
combined road rollers and traction
engines.
Two stretches of road equal in
length and identical in conditions
were laid off. and each roller went
to work with one light 8-mule road
scraper attached and at the end of 4
hours, each had dug, graded, shaped
and rolled one thousand feet of
splendid road, though it was evident
that with the proper road scraper
constructed for use with these
powerful steam traction rollers,
three times as much road could have
been built in the same time and
built better. The cost per mile is
estimated between $8.00 and $10.00
per mile, not including interest on
the investment, or wear or tear on
the machinery.
Satisfied with that test, the Super
visor called for a hauling contest
and suggested putting both the road
scrapers behind one engine at a
time and seeing if the engines could
either of them pull this double
weight with the scrapers set deep
into the ground. The engines one
after the other went along at their
maximum speed without it becom
ing necessary to open the throttle
wide, apparently as unaffected by
the load as an elej hant pulling a
baby earriage.
Opinion seems equally divided as
to tne efficiency of the engines, but
after so satisfactory a test, it is a
foregone con du-sion that Beaufort
county will employ modern power
machinery in her future road build
ing operations and use them for
hauling material as well as the
machines.-—Beaufort Gazett.
