It was a plain and thoroughly p)racti cal talk and was greatly enjoyed by those pr1esenlt, and, no dloubt, will r*e viv an interest, in the Or-der in New berry. The pity is thero was not a larger audience present to hear Mr. Todd. The Seabloarid A ir Linie Scores Another Point The Seaboard Air Line has, for a long time, contended that as it could not get its sleepers south of Atlanta and north of WVashinrtcn, whllile other lines were allowed this privilege, it should, therefore, be allowed a differ ential rate. This matter wvas taken upl recently with the Suth eastern Passe n gcer Associat ion, the Trunk Line Asso ciation and1( the Association of Virginia and the Carolinas, and the Seaboard Air Line's claim for differ-entials was allowed. The tariffs just p)ubliSheCd by the above associations shiow standard rates by all lines between the North and South, as well as the differ-ential rate via the Seaboar-d Air Line, which rate is $3 less than that shown by other lines. T1he standard r-ate between New York and Atlanta is $2.1; the dilferen tiail r-ate via the Seaboard Air Line is $21; the late huetwcen Washington and Atlanta is $17.50, the dilfercntial rate via the Seaboard Ait- Line is $i4.50. Th is di flere-ntiali applies between all important, cities in the Southeastern Passenger- Associaton's teritory, the Trrunk Line Association t.e:'-itoryv. The Seaboar-d Alt- Line now has the matter up with the New England P'as scnger Assoc ation, looking to the puh. l isin g of these dIifferential raLtes in their tarti hfs. As sooni as this is grant ed it, Is understood that the Seaboan-i Air 1L1n1 will t,ben goto tbe Miss-ssippi Passenger Association with a request that they publish like rates from their terrtitory'.

It is said that the Atlantic Coast Line is planning to make some schedulo changes which will be of benefit to Charlestou, Columbia and the up coun try. ilTe A. C. L. recently obtained control of the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad, which is a mo-t Important -dditIon to an already' powerful system. The plan in contemplation includes the operation of solid trains between Charleston and Greenville over the Atlantic Coast Line, Columbia, New berry and Lauroos, and Western Car-o lina railroads. Such trains would miake the trip ba tween those cities in seven hours, or possibly in less, and they would be very popular. Such trains would be hailed with es pecial joy by the people of the up coun try, for it would put them in cllser touch with the seaboard. It is said that such a move would only be the forerunner of the operation of a double daily train service between Columbia and Charleston over the At lantic Coast Line. At present the Atlantic Coast Line runs a train from Charl ston to COlum bia in the morning and back in the af ernoon. This is a very inconveni ent chedule for people along its line who wish to go by it to Charleston, as it involves staying in that city two nights.-Colunbia Record. We shall hail the day with delight when this schedule is inaugurated. We have long wondered why such a sched ule was not put, on before this, and now that the Coast Line has control of all the roads from Charaeston to Green ville, there should be as little delay as possible. With two trains into Colum bia and two out over the Coast Line it would be very little trouble to extend the trains on to Greenville. The night train would then make close conuec tion iat Clinton with the trains to and from Atlanta over the Seaboard. As it is now tho chedule over the South crin from here to Atlanta is much pref eralle to the Seaboard on account of the long wait at Clinton, going an(] returning. We hope the Coast Lino will put on the double trains as here indicated. The Mler-Sisson-Wallaco Co, One of the cleverest attractions that will play here this season is the Polk NI IIler-Oscar Sisson -Ester Wallace Con binaton. They will appear for one night only at the Opera House-tomor row night. Polk Miller, the well known delineator of negro character, has joined forces with Oscar P. Sisson and Miss Ester Wailace, Mr. Sisson's neico and stage companion. This trio undoubtedly forms the most unique combination before the people, and their performance has made an instant "hit" whenever produced. The pro gramme is in three parts and each act is complete in itself. A ct 1 is a musi cal comedy sketch by Mr. Sisson and Miss Wallace, entitled, '"Cousin Ella's Visit fr'om the Country." Act II in tr'oduces P olk Millecr with his inimitla ble stories and songs in negro dialect, atnd A et 11iI consists of a one-act char acter' sket.ch in whicb Mr'. Miller' ap pears in at costume as '"Uncle D)aniel,"' an old-time platntat,ion negro, who has gone Nort-h just after the v,ar, and tir ing or hiis tiepeience is traveling back to "'Ole Vir'ginny." It, is said to be very fun tny aind full of quaint hunmor, songs and striking sit,uations. The at t,ract,ion is evidently a str'ong one. L.ong Service. We noted some time ago the long ser'vice of M r. W. T. .Jackson as street, overseer at Newtberry. Hie succceded Mt'. Maith ias M! il1cr and had cotmpleted twenty-live years of continuous service, and must, have known every street and every bridge in towvn. But there is one of the cart drives who h as seen longer continuous service than this. Jim Scott hQs been em ployedl by the tuwn for' thirty-one or thirty-t,wo yeatrs continutously and still holds his job). And Ryal Bates, the lamp'ighter and general porter', began work under Mr'. Mathias Millet' as a street hand and worked with him for' otto year and has continued to wor'k for the town since, mnak iug htis s;:rvice stretch over twenty six years. 4Mn who have been fait,h fiuI and whto have been in the service of the the town so long deser've some con -idera'tion.

Duncan, but was rejected and the report of the conmitte- was adopted as follows: P-li1AMBLE, AND IE'SOLUI'ION. Whereas, TheC present financial dis tress of the people engaged in the pro duction of cotton calls immediately for some remedy, and Whereas, There is a general belief that the trouble lies in the fact of there being too much cotton grawn, there fore be it Resolved, 1. That this Association pledge itself to re(luce the acreage in cotton by planting an amount, of land in food crops suniciert, to poiduce abundant supplies for box h the fam ilies of the proprietors an(d the laborers on all of our farms and plantations. 2. That we request the cotton grow ces throughout tie South to join with us in this movement. Just previous to tihe adop)ticm of the ab)ove resolut,ic 's Mr. S. 1'.
