Oar esteemed Lake City correspondent
gave an excellent write
up this week of the Lake CityUeorgelown
games of baseball.
As we had already in type an extended
account clipped from the
Georgetown Outlook and our columns
were very much crowded,
we were compelled to leave out
that i art of his letter, although
we jsgretted very much to have
to do so.
A gentleman who has recently
traveled in that direction states
that the Black liver road up to
the Manning fork,just a tew miles
from town, is a disgrace to the
county. All along the road are
great holes and wash-out:, some
of them ten feet deep, making it
really dangerous to travel over
this highway. At some places he
had to leave the road altogether
and drive in the woods.
Prof. K.D.Eods. of this county, I
has been appointed by ?tate Superintendent
McMahan to a position
as instructor in the I'liiiipine
Islands. This is a splendid ap- ,
pointmont, the position being lucrative
and much sought alter. It
is also a high compliment to I'rof. ,
Eops, as there were only two appointments
made from this State. 1
While we congratulate our friend
on his good fortune we feel sure i
that no young man in the State
could fill the appointment inore
creditably tlian he will.
iVtore Telephone Talk.
The telephone line from Manning
lo ivingstiee, the building of
which was reported in the The
Kkcoi.m soine ti/ne ago, lias been
somewhat delayed until recently
by the water on tlie ground, but
we understand that work has been
resumed and the line will be completed
to tiiis place in the very
near future. Thus our first line
will be a iong djstance one. The
building of this line is due to the
public spirit and progressiveness
of Messrs. Thomas & Bradham,
the enterprising sales stable and
lively men of Manning and Kingstree.
Our next telephone connection
will probably be with Salters De
pot. A Iiilie energy and meney
expended won Id give us this connection,
which with the Manning
line would do much to nlace us in
telephonic touch with the outside
world. Messrs. Lit rage, iiamer
and Terrell came over from baiters
last Thursday, and in talking
up this line easily showed the
feasibility of it. The people of
Sailers are anxious tor the connection
and with a little aid on
the part of the citizens of Kings',
ree the line would soon be built,
'ihe project deserves encourage-'
meat aud we hope the business
men of the town will show their
good will toward it by subscribing
to it. A small amount from every
business man in town would lie
sutfi.rieut to pay our part of I be
expense o! building the line. Mr.
G *orge S. Barr will receive subscriptions
from anyone who wishes
to contribute, or ifielt at this office
the money will bo turned
over to the proper parties.
