S. C. I As some said before iu a letter from r Florida, there are lots of South Car- \ oliniaDs down here and we all feel c proud of our State and liko to be i called Carolinians because they are 1 considered industrious. I am stop- i pin g with Mrs. R, Reed, known in ( Horry as Mrs. J. L. Hums. Mr. s Hums died at Little River and afte.* I some years Mrs Bums and her chil- i dren came to Florida and here she * married Mr. R. Reed. The children J nre all grown and ai e doing well. 1 In previous lottery I have told you | about the farming and turpentine i industries, now I will write about < others. There are hundreds of ( phosphate mines down here. This ; rock lies in beds beneath the surface. I 'lo get to this rock they use a large shovel that will hold about eight or < ten bushels and is operated by steam i to dig up the dirt and load it on a car aud is carried out of the way. , Then they uso force pumps to wash all the loose dirt otT of the rock. , It is then dug up and goes through ( another process of washing, then to the dry kiln when it is ready for market. 1 was told that pure phosphate rock sold for $2.50 ]>er ton. There are hundreds of lakes iu Florida and some of them are so deep that no bottom has ever been reached by man.

The cigars made here in one day arc esti maiect to oe worm *yo,uuu. 1 had the opportunity to visit the State Baptist orphange at Arcada, Pla., last Sunday aud I was very much impressed with the conduct of tho children. After having some music we were taken through the building and showed how everything was arranged and it was all very nice. Who is it that has children had not rather know that if thoy were to die that their children would have a good home and be treated right than to be left cut in the world without any training to be kicked and culled about by a cold unfeeling world? Some lady says that it is a poor house, somebody else says that it is a place for children that nobody don't want, but 1 say that it is a mistake, but e,ren if it was so would it not be better to take them, raise them right and make useful citizens of them than to grow Up among us in ignorance and vice. There are some people who arc so afraid that they will do something for somebody else that they won't do anything for themselves. Somebody will say that chey think charity ought to start at home. I think so, too, but some people will not train their own children nor help raise anybody else's. I am not trying to pick a quarrel with anybody, but let's all put our shoulders to the wheel and strive to make everything! better instead of worse. Success to the Herald and its readers. S. P.

The patronage of the pai>er has increased until it becomes necessary to print the paper more quickly, and the change cannot bo mado without great expense.
