Summerton Sayings.

SUMalERToN. " arc b l2.-Cold
weather and foods of rain are mate
rally harrassirg the farmers, and re-
tarding ali field work. 1t feels to-day
like mid winter, and instead Of plant
ing corn, as the advanced season
might warrant, they are trying to pre-
pare their lands as best they can, turn
Ing the plow in middle of the fields,
the bottoms being too wet and boggy
to ruD through. It is bad enough on
oar highlands; sorry for those Sec
tons less fortunate.
In this connection I anxiously ask,
what has become of Foreston? Not
entirely submerged I hope. One OF
our wide awake citizens, in going
down to Charleston, the other day,
was on the lookout for that lively little
village among the p-p-ponds, and
when he got to Grcelyville, he was
toll that he had passed it. Now
what has our good old friend Of the
many hnny aliases to say. We would
suggest that meeting Of the NUM-
cipal fuuctionaries be called, and an
appropriation voted for conspicuous
sign board, marking the place where
it used to be.
We don't talk much about railroads
now, 0ir. Editor; things are getting
monotonously certain on that point.
We hear that the Eutaw will begin
operations on this (Summerton) end
next Thursday, 18th. We also hear
that one of the Manning merchant
princes has offered ten or twenty
thousand dollars to have short line
built from here to Manning. Enter
prising, is it not? We tried long
time to get public Highway to the
county seat, but failed, and we are
truly glad to see such a demonstration
of public spirit Irasmuch as we are
not yet ready to have the court house
moved here. it will be exceedingly con-
venient for our citizens hereabouts to
have railroad to attend court. But
someone las unkindly suggested that
the branch road is to be built in order
to hold on to the trade ofthis section.
If that is so I will just say that [ am
reminded of a little piece OF civil en-
gineering attempted by one of my
good friends in this neighborhood.
He had pond that he was anxious
to drain into a neighboring creek.
But when his ditch was completed,
tie water, instead of flowing from
the pond into the creek, would persist
in running nom the creek to the pond.
See? And as Manning is the highest
place in tt9.is section, I an inclined to
think that tae law of gravity would
assert itself, and things would natur-
ally flow in tlis direction. So let it
come. We will try to vie with Su@-
ter Tor the Manning trade.

The New Aqueduct Bridge.

AN APPROPRIATION OF $4,000 NEEDED TO COMPLETE
THE APPROACH FROM THE VIRGINIA END.
The Secretary OF War to-day transmitted his re-
Spouse to the resolution OF senator Daniel making
inquiry as to the expense of providing suitable
approaches and roadways on the south end OF the
new Aqueduct bridge. The Secretary sends letter
from Col Hains IN which he states that the bridge
is completed and with approaches on the south
end that are deemed adequate to absolute
requirements, but he says that end OF
the bridge could be very greatly improved
by the substitution OF masonry retaining walls,
sidewalks. and cOpings, and by widening the road
way to the width OF the bridge, 30 feet The estl-
mated cost or such an improvement Is $4S,752
made by an exact calculation OF the price OF all
items, or, in round numbers, he would put 1t at
$4,000. This estimate Is based upon the suppose
ton that the present grade will be maintained. If
the grade should be made sleeper the cost
OF the work proposed would be reduced
to $4,000. He adds that by construct
ing retaining walls, "laid up dry" the
cost could be reduced to $4,000 Col Hams re-
commenCs his first estimate OF $4,000 II dura.
