Western North Carolina and are

MrJEEllyrbe stopped here

in upper Georgetown which
he visited Thursday. He tells
us that the congressional candidates
will hold a number of
meetings during their campaign,
one of which will be at Scranton.
Of course, Mr Ellerbe expects
to be elected. And so do
s they all.
Mr Ruffln P Hinnant of Slut*
tons; spent several days here
last week with his brother, Dr
Hinnant. He was accompanied
by two of bis daughters.
Work on the plant of Enterprise

work of the Bank was carefully
pone over and everything was
lound in pood condition. The
. profits of the Business was entirely
satisfactory. A dividend
of eight per cent was declared

was passed to undivided profits.
This Bank is now firmly v established,,
and the prosperity of its
first year is believed to be only
an intimation of the success of
the future. The business is conducted
on a safe, conservative
basis and the element of risk is
as nearly eliminated as human
wisdom and circumspection can
clo it. Three years ago few
thought that Williamsburg offered
a field for a bank. Today
we have two, both solidly
grounded, popular and prosperous
even beyond the expectations
of the most sanguine.

Card From Mr. Evans.
1 Editor County Record:?
i I have just read the card of
MrGarrisin regard to better
depot facilities at K'ngstree.
J A man should be judged by his
j works and not his promises,
'especially where the promises
are made on the eve of an election.
The Railroad Commission
; should not wait for a petition
i from the people when it is plain
I that the rights of any section
' r?f our own State are disregard
ed by the railroads. They have
the power to take the initiative,
and should assume the responsibility
and do their duty without
waiting- in their office to be
begged to perform their duty.
This has always been the
trouble, and the people should
have an active, aggressive commissioner,
who is ever on the
I alert to protect the rights of the
people on his own'motion and
high sense of duty. This kind
of waiting in easy chairs has
caused n any a disaster and lost
many a valuable life. If I am
elected I promise it will not be
six years before the rights of
! the people are protected and
their interests advanced. The
; people of Williamsburg cuunty,
j will not have to petition me,
: their public servant, to do what
I is, and has been a plain duty.
! A Railroad Commissioner
i should inspect and examine and
; ascertain the needs of our peo;
pie, and then see that they are
i entitled to under the law. Vigi
ilance, not inertia will be my
creed. Respectfully,
W. Boyd Evans.
NIGHT WAS HER TERROR.
"I would cough all night long,"
writes Mrs (.'has Applegute, of
Alexandria, Ir.d., "and could hardly
got any sleep. I had consumption
so had that if I walked a block
jl would cough frightfully and spit

I failed, three $1.00 bottles of Dr

I cured me and I gained oK pounds.'

Harris Springs, S. C.,
July It), 1904.
Editor County Record'?
Had Ponce de Leon,- in his
I quest for the fabled fountain of
! immortal youth wandered to
i Harris Lithia Springs he would
not have died a disappointed
I and broken hearted old man,
j but with renewed youth and
i health would no doubt have atj
tained the patriarchal age limit
I and died blessing the lucky star
! that guided his footsteps to the
j healing and life-giving waters
i of this wonderful resort. There
i are mineral springs and summer
j resorts without number, every
! one of which with some degree
of truth may lay claim to its
peculiar virtures; but for a rare
combination of advantages, unapproached
and unapproachable,
those who have shown the
good judgement to choose Harris
Lithia for their summer outing
unhesitatingly commend
this place, par excellence, above
all others.
The hotel in size easily outranks
any other in the State,
jand with its shady nooks and
cozy corners it is not difficult at
I any time of day to find a cool
j and pleasant retreat from the
sun on the five hundred square
feet of veranda that encompass
the spacious building.
Ever since the opening of the
| hotel, the 14th of last month, it
[has been comfortably filled with
J guests and the present season
: promises to be one of the most
| successful since the Spring was
j first discovered and the excelI
lence of its waters promulgated
: to a thirsty world.
Mr J T Matthews, the urbane
jand obliging Manager, makes
an ideal host, and in saying that
be is tireless in his efforts to
provide comfort and enjoyment
for all his guests, I state but

and fans and also has a complete

The cuisine is all to be desired
and the "kicker" on hotel fare
is conspicuous by his absence.
Thr^t* times a day and at night
in the ball-room a first class orchestra
discourses the sweetest
music, to the great delight of
votaries of the nimble nymph,
Terpsichore. Invitations hfive
been issued to a german this
evening, and in addition to the
I young folk in the hotel man}'
i visitors are expected from Laurens,
Clinton, Greenwood and
other nearby towns.
Last Thursday evening a progressive
whist party was given
jin the hotel parlor's, which enI
tertainment afforded enjoyable
, recreation to the many who participated.
After an exciting

A NEW RAILROAD.
A New Line To Pass Through This County
Between Cowards and Scranton.
Our advertising' columns contain
a notice by the secretary of
State, of the application of the
Seashore Railroad of Conway,
S. C., for an amendment of its
charter, allowing said company
to extend its lines. It is proposed
to extend the road from
Conway to South Port, N. C.
oil the east and from Conway to
Marion and Sumter on the west.
The road will pass through the
northern section of this county be
tween Scranton and Cowards.
It will open up a fine country
which has been held back by
lack ?f railroad facilities. The
enterprise is being projected by
Burroughs and Collins, the rich
merchants of Conway, and Congressman
Scarborough. This is
one of the numerous enterprises
which Mr .Scarborough had in
mind when he decided to retire
from Congress. By the projecting
of such enterprises he can
do more for the people of the
District than he could in Con
gress.
A Letter from Loris.
Editor County Record:?
As it has been some time since
I have written to your paper I
will now beg space in your columns
to state that I have just
closed one of the most successful
meetings I have conducted
this year at Ebineza church,
and it resulted in several conversions
and many homes praising
the Lord. Many old people
were saved as well as the young.
It was thrilling to the heart to
see the ones that were saved,
praise the Almighty.
Notwithstanding the sickness
of the community the people attended
the abode of worship
regularly, and we had fine congregations.
This is my second year on the
Loris circuit, and I am glad to
state that we are having a fine
success in all our undertakings.
We are trying to place such religeous
environments around the
rising generation as will be
benificial to them.
Wishing- you much success in
your paper, I remain,
Rev. S. J. McDonnell.

OUR CORRESPONDENT WRITES OF
A TRIP TO VIRGINIA.
Enteresting Points Described?Mention
of Local Scranton
Happenings.
A sail down the James river
by moonlight where the lire flies
in the brambles and over the
water shone like a world of
diamonds, was one among the
most pleasant features of our
summer trip. A murmer of
voices and a faint splash attracted
our attention to a young
woman and man swimming
across the river where its waters
spread over two hundred
feet.
At 3 o'clock a. m., we were
called by request to see Jamestown
by search-light, which i
showed us a church about 300
years old. Excursionists carl
And there the old well of Johri
Smith, a brick-curbed piece of
colonial da,te, beside other
thinTs of interest, but the
settlement is abandoned fo?
Newport news and Norfolk botli
ot great naval importance. At
Norfolk wharf we observed a
cargo of six car-boxes and a flat
being taken from the A. C. L.
station across to Norfolk
Western station opposite each
other across the bay. # v
Roanoke is a beautiful city
nestled, like Gyrol, .between
mountains. East of Tpwn is
Mill mountain, two miles high,
which if asceiidfed gives one a
bird's eye view of Roanoke, Salem
and Vinton.
From here we parted with
hospi^tjle friends and relatives
and began our journey west:
ward to St. Louis, which ended
in thirty-six hours, after passing
through seven tunnels counted
in day-light and we know not
how many at night. In Flat-top
mountains west of Cumberland
we noticed miles of coke furnaces
and dozens of coal mines,
also some iron mines. The first
iron found in America was on
the little stream between Petersburg
and Richmond Va.,
-* - ? " ^ * "r i
called Failing ureeK. we tuuuied
123 cars of coal which made
one train drawn by two engines
and pushed by a third from the
mines. Enough for this time. We
will take St. ?<ouis next week.
