disadvantage of being remote from

Some t ears ago Maj. J. I.. Coker, one
of tin* most successful and enterpris
ing business men of this sect ion, con
ceived the idea of building a Rail
Road from llartsville to the nearest
point on the Chcraw & Darlington

experiment, prove a successful ven-
Of course others were interes

most of the credit for the inatigura-

held at Darlington Court IJojiro,
Thursday, April tlie 2nd instead of
Friday the 3rd, in order to have Dr.
Stokes President ot the State Alli

both our State President and State

The Right Kind of Citizens.
There are three brothers, all farm-
•ers, whose farms join each other, and
instead of, as it would be easy to do,
borrowing or passing the IIkku.d
around, each one subscribes for him-
•self. If everybody followed the ex-
•antple of these three brothers, Dar
lington would soon have two very
large papers. They are all good far
mers, and believe in-doing everything
they can to build up and develop
the resources of their county. In
this respect they put to shame some
