TUB NEW TRAINS.
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.
