THE PROJECTED RAILROAD.
There is much talk about the
building of a railroad from Florence
to Georgetowu in the near
future, and 'from what we can
hear in a general way there is
more than mere talk in the rumor.
Such a road, on an air line, would
seem to strike about Docks, Rhcms,
Black Mingo and Rollins, cutting
o trtuMrnlor in Hi**
a ukiii^UIUI r\ v? IVII
North eastern part of this county.
We are glad to he?r this talk of
an additional railroad in the county.
We are in for anything in the
way of progress that can be of
benefit to our people, and we believe
this railroafl would be a benefit.
It seems to ns, however, that
the proper line for the road would
be from Cades to Georgetown. By
this route, about twice as much of
the county would derive advantage
from it, and the cost of grading
would be much less, as the old
road bed might be used. If the road
is built, however, we will not
quarrel over the route. Either
way would be a great help to
people who have never enjoyed
the conveniences of a railroad.
It is only a question of time
when this road will be constructed
?
and we hope the time is near at
hand.

THE STATE FAIR.
It is said that the State Fair held
^ jit Columbia hist week was not a
rueeess from a financial stand- '
point, and that every cent appro- s
priated by the Legislature as a J
contingent tund will be needed to *
meet the ac'ual expenses incurred j f
1 i ;
i iv i no com in 111 uj jiiiitii^t-iiicni^
!
It in claimed that the prevailing!*
had weal her of the week was re- |
sponsible lor the failure to clear ji
expenses, since many who would je
have attended stayed away on ac;cotint
of the rain. jl
Tliis may or mav not he thejl
case. I he crowd present seemed!'
to tax the accommodation 0} the c
city pretty severely. Ail of tic }i
hotels were crowded, even to the 1
extent of uniting six in a room at 1
some oil hem. Anymore in the 1
city would have had some trouble ' <
in getting lodgings, we are quite '
sure.
We do not mean to condemn
the fair as an instilulion. I5ut we *
<
do say that it should he better. }
Let the Legislature appropriate |'
money enough to place it above a i
one horse show, or withdraw what i
it does appropriate.
Give better premiums to get
better exhibits. People go to the ;
Fair to see something, and are
naturally disappointed when the '
exhibits are poor, as was the case
last week. And, above all, we I
would suggest that by the next
Fair, arrangements be made lor l
the better accommodation of its
t
patrons in the way of board and
lodgings.
TRUCK GROWING.
As the time approaches when
the old year is drawing to a close
? ? ? ? i l
and the advent 01 another seeuliuie
is near at hand, the mind of
the farmer nat urailv turns towards
the question of wliat can he most
profitably produced on his lands. (
A few years ago a good many of
our farmers turned their attention
toward tobacco culture,and it was
thought that at last there was an
avenue of escape from the thraldom
of King Cotton. Experience
has demonstrated the fact that
only a certain class of our lands
will produce tobacco profitably;
and although many farmers have
grown it successfully, others, on
account of unsuitable soil, improper
curing or mismanagement in
some way, have become discourj
aged and are more devoted
slaves of cotton than ever.
No argument is needed to convince
the farmer that he who sticks
to cotton exclusively will go from
i bad to worse.
Now the problem is, what can
be profitably raised in this county;
and its solution, we think, lies in
the growing of fruit and vegetables
for market. There is scarcely a
loot of arable land in the county
that will not, with proper at ten
lion, make a lair yield o 1 vegelab
ies. Small fruits liourish in a
soil and climate the finest in the
| world, many growing wild in the
| woods and fields. Only a few
acres will produce an abundance,
and the expense invoh e 1 is much
less than that required in raising
cotton.
i
many 01 our people nave recog
nized the advantage of truck-growing
over cotton farming, and have
aiready gone into that business.
By that means hundreds ol dollars
were brought into the county
last year, and at a time, too, when
llie average cotton farmer having
spent all of his money on his half
grown crop, couU scsroely raise
hi* wherewithal to boy a pus'age
'amp.
Ol' course there are seasons ?1
vhen even this class of produce
ails to bring in much money, but =><
L has not happened .* ? for several 1
ears in succession: and when the |
i
trices are good a han isome prolit j
s realized. No one product, Imw-j
ver, will continue to command; I*

Robbed The Grave
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was
the subje :t, is narrated by liitn as
follows:"I was in a most dreadful
condition. Myskin was almost yellow,
ev-es sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite?gradually growing
"
weaker (lay by day. Three physi-1
eians had givon ine up. Fortunately, |
a friend advised trying 'Electric
Hitters;'and to my great joy and
surprise, the first- bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim." No one should j
fail to try them. Only 50 cents per
bottle at any Drug Store.
