last.
P Seventeen years ago Mr David

W few miles below Kingstree,
went away. Last Friday, tc
onr great surprise and pleasure,
he walked into the

Mr 0 L Bass of Pensacola,

'partridges for four guns! The
best part?in a personal way?
is that the writer got a good
mess of those birds himself. ,
They were certainly tine. Even j
yet the taste lingers as a;
sweet memory, and our hearty
thanks are to the friends who [
thus blessed us.
' Messrs D H Oliver & Bro?, |
who are getting in shape
their plantation near Indiantown
church, intend to demonstrate
the feasibility and
I
wisdom of raising something
[ else than the usual crop.
They will begin the poultry
business right away and wiil
| add other animals as rapidly as
possible. Already they baye a
, lot of high-bred standard fowls
! as a nucleus, with which they will
r begin raising chickens and eggs
L for market.
I Dr C D Rollins went to Baltimore
last week for a visit of
a few days.
Mr W E Severance was in
Charleston last week, and it
. is right interesting to bear
f him describe the noise which
? broke loose just as the clock

After a fortnight's interval
of rest and recreation enjoyed
by teachers and pupils,
Kingstree High school resumed
work yesterday. Owing to the
inclement weat? only about
half nf the twel> or more ex
pected new pupi, showed up.
Prior to the hoik ys the enrollofent
was 234, and when all
the new pupils who have applied
for admission are added,
the enrollment will be about
250. All the new pupils will
probably come in by Monday.
The teachers all reported for
duty Wednesday morning and
the regular exercises were
carried out on schedule time.

I MOVEMENT LAMED TO BUILD TRANS- j
P0RAT1ON LINE CONNECTING TQREE ,
TOWNS ABOVE NAMED.
Florence, January 3:?The
meeting of the parties interested
in the building of the Alcolu,
Floren# & Georgetown railroad
was held in the Florence court
house today. While there was
not a large crowd in attendance
those who were present were
enthusiastic and seemed determined
to exhaust every effort
in carrying through the proposed
road. There is already a line
extending from Alcolu to within
about ten miles of Florence,
owned by D W Alderman &
Sons, and it is a continuation of
this line into Florence and
down to deep water at Georgetown
that is being sought It
is estimated that the building of
the road will cost about $6,000
per mile and the Messrs Alderman
have agreed to furnish
I rolling stock and other equipj
ment and to lease the road for
120 years, guaranteeing interest
on bonds and taxes. The Legislature
will be petitioned to
1 authorize the townships through
, which the line will pass to
take steps for the issuing of
the necessary bonds- The representatives
from Georgetown,
. Williamsburg and Florence counties,
who are taking an active
part in the matter, seem to
feel assured that the Alcolu,
1 Florence & Georgetown railroad
will be built in the near future.
