The ShcIl.TiIIman Headlights.

Members of the Shell-Tillman Executive
Committee, we learn, met at Laurens yester
day TO discuss the political situation, and to
advise such action as they may deem proper,
In view Of the recent action Of the Democratic
Executive Committee in calling a convention
OF the party TO determine the question OF
choosing State officers by primary election.
What action will be recommended we are
not authorized TO say, but, reasoning from the
endorsement which the local clubs have re-
ceived in prematurely electing delegates TO
the State Convention, 1t may be fairly infer
red that an effort, at least, will be made to
nominate Tillman at the called meeting OF
the party. on the 18th of August.
That the Shell.Tilman Executive Commit
tee will recommend the election of u new EX-
ecutlve Committee, we believe is a foregone
conclusion.
AS the Tilmanites seem determined to put
their man in any way, 1t is useless to argue
the question as TO fairness or unf,tirness o.
the proposition.

THE c., C. s. N. RAILROAD.
The Work Of Construction Still Goes
BraYely On.


BraveIy On.
The cars have crossed Enoree river and the
track laying Is being pushed toward Clinton.
About six miles OF track has been laid in
Abbeville county. and the way will soon be
clear for the tracklayers to put down many
more miles.
The work of building piers is going on at all
the streams along the line in this county.
The contractors for grading In this county
are working with energy. and the reports Of
the blasting of rock continues to be heard.
On some of the road, close to the depot site,
considerable rock has been found, and much
of IL has been moved by dynamite.
Mr.. Gibbons, in his contract, near the Fair
Grounds, on the l32d mile from Monroe, has
had much rock and great quantities OF it re-
quired blasting. The biggest blast though
of a large rock which lay on the track In Cap
tain Edwards field. Into that rock eleven
two-inch holes were drilled-nine eleven feet
deep, and two about eight feet deep. The
drilling of these holes in the hard rock re-
Qured the services Of nine hands for three
days. In the blast some $50 sticks OF dyna-
mite and 800 pounds of powder were used.
Quite number of our people were invited to
see the explosion, and II was sight worth
seeing The immense rock was literally torn
to pieces, and much OF 1t was thrown to con-
siderable distance Several blocks that were
thrown out are supposed to weigh q ton each.
One rock weighing perhaps half a ton, was
thrown TO distance of about five hundred
yards. The total amount of rock which was
either broke up and left in the bed or thrown
out Is estimated at about five hun dred yards.
Mr.. Gibbons has had an exceedingly hard
contract both in the rock and the dirt. The
rock has been hard, and the earthwork has
been largely Of pipe clay.
Within the next thirty days the track here
about Will be finished and ready FOR the rails.

city of MacYn. Ga returned 10 the land Of his

BY his oraiory and graceful expression oi
Thought at the Due West Commencement, he
charmed and delighted as fine an audience as
ever assembled in Abbevillo county.
His success ~ an editor, and his fame ms an
orator, has gone abroad, and AbbcvIlle coun
ty feels just pride In all the honorable
achievements which he has won, while the
Colleges gave the best evidence OF their great
appreciation Of him when they called him
back 10 occupy the highest place at their chief
literary feast.
After delivering his speech ut Due West, he
came to Abbcvlle village TO see old friends,
and to renew old acqualutances.
So delighted were our people to have him
again amongst us that n large company join
ed in Il serenade at night, when lie was called
out. and responded In his happiCst uianner,
expressing IN lltting terms his pleasure at he
ing again on his native heath, amidst the
friends ard comrades OF his ooyhoud.
Because Of his character as q boy, our Peo-
pie love him: because OF those qualities
which distinguish him. our people honor him.
