The dredge or steam shovel has covered a distance of more than one mile through the swamp since the work was undertaken several months ago, throwing up a causeway 6 feet high with a width of thirty feet, this is being surfaced and finishing touches applied as fast as thrown up, and by detouring for a short distance traffic is open between Kingstree and Manning and Greelyville over , the best roadbed in the county. This work is a part of the state highway system and when completed will be of inestimable value to this section of the state, it is be neved. o Salters News. Salters D^pot, May 9.?After ten days of unseasonably cold weather, we are having some warm, pleasant days, although dry. Crops have suffered very much from the cold winds and nearly all vegetation has a yellowish cast. The stand of cotton is poor and it is still dyeing from the effects of cold weather. Tobacco is doing fairly well. The acreage is very much smaller than last year. Corn is a good stand and is growing nicely. The smallest acreage of cotton is planted in this section this year that has been planted in twenty years or more, and the provision crops have been greatly increased. The motto " * -iL?
