Passenger Train to Bennetts* ill Made First Trip To-Day. The new train to the Pee Dee? Sumter to Bennettsvllle and return? made Its- first trip Monday leaving hen at 9.46. Owing to the protest of Charleston, Florence. Georgetown and towna between Lanes and Flor? ence against the operation of j the train from Sumter instead of from ( Lanes, and the strenuous objection of BlshopVllle to being deprived of the Sumter-Lucknow morning passenger train it is difficult to predict how long the train will continue running on the present schedule. 'The change made in 'bis train from Lucknow to the Bennettsvllle run not only de? prives Blshopvllle of a through: pas? senger train from Sumter in the morning but also deprives that town ? r t' r lejjwajl 1 J?i c.i vlcc ihat ii ha? had for some months. The railway mall clerk, who has been making dally trips to Lucknow, now goes with the train to Bennettsvllle and mail for Blshopvllle Is transferred at El? liotts, going thence in a closed pouch. All things considered Bishopvl.'lo gets the rough end of the deal and the hsrdahip. If it proves as gre:w M It appears on Its face, will not be per n.'tted to continue long, |J the Rail? road Commission Is disposed t> give Firhopvlle the relief to which ?h'.t town is clearly entitled. SOME WONDERFUL COTTON. Mr. A.' C. Du Rant Exhibits Some Cot? ton That Would Take the Prise Anywhere. Mr. A. C. Du Rant, one of the most successful partners of this section of the State, brought some cotton to the city this morning from his Blshopvllle farm, that was pronounced by all who saw It to be the most wonderful spec? imens of cotton ever produced in this section. There were four large branches of the plant and each branch Y ad numerous smaller branch? es which were completely covered with bolls. Tie bolls were as thick on the branches as grapes on a vino. Noth? ing of the kind was ever seen here before and probably such a wonder? ful growth has never been observed anywhere In the cotton belt. Mr. Du Rant has a large farm of extra fine cotton and these branches were cut from different parts of the place.
