Health of the community is generally good at this writing, with some exceptions. VVe farmers are through planting except peanuts, chufas and other bay feed. Our cotton is yet small on account of dry weather. We would all be glad to see a good rain on our little crops. VVe, as farmers do not raise any truck at all as it is too far from market. Mr C W Vaught, wife and brother Edgar, have been down on a vifcit to Mr Thomas Watts, the father of Mrs Vaught. We were all glad to have her with us at her old home again. It is expected she will spend a week or two with her parents on ber visit. W a fool or And tn think that we will soon be enjoying the great conveniences of the new bridge at Conway K as we have been cut off so long from town.

Bolton Dusenbury, who is working for the Georgetown Lumber Company, was here Saturday and Sunday. Miss Jessie Dusenbury entertained a few of her friends with music, organ and guitar very pleasantly Saturday night and after the musical entertainment was over the crowd was ushered into the dining room where delightful refreshments were served. Supervisor A C Murrell and County Commissioner, D F McGoutran, were here Monday in the interest of good roads. We are always glad to have these distinguished gentle men with us and as a gentle reminder would say that small favors will be thankfully received and large ones in proportion. Capt and Mrs R R Dozier spent Sunday in Conway with the pareats of the former. Say, what is the,matter with Governor Blease? Nothing sensational from the executive mansion in the last three weeks which would seem to indicate that the governor is getting tame. It may be a calm which precedes a storm and the public may expect "breakers" ahead. It will be remembered that the threat Atlanta lawver. Thos B. Felder, made a bluff at Governor Blease some time ago, and the governor called him, and it is now up to Mr Felder to ''show up" or confess that he knows nothing against the governor in connection with the late dispensary muddle which has besmirched the character of so many so-called prominent people all over the State. Forecast. Scent of the Orange Blossom. The health of this community is not very good at this writing. Measles are i aging.

More Railroads on Paper. The lower part of Marion cpunty is entirely without railroad accommodations and there is no subject in which the people of that section are more interested. For the past few years there has been a good deal of talk of prospective railroads from Maricn to Georgetown and from Marion to Eddy Lake and now there is considerable talk of the hnildinxr of a road from Mullins to Georgetown and some talk of a road from Mullins across Little Pee Dee into Horry county to go either to Conway or to connect with the A C L branch running out from Conway to within five miles of Galivuuts Ferry It has been impossible to secure any definite information about these various projects. The Raleigh and Charleston have recently had two lines surveyed from Marion to Addison's Ferry, and at the present time there is a line being surveyed from Mullins to the same point.
