PACKsvILLE, Jan. 21.-The drama
Friday evening brought out large
crowd All enjoyed the play very
much, indeed. Nomen has heard
many and various remarks pro ct
icon: but when we remember that it
is our own talent and ability, or
rather the talent and ability OF the
boys and girls who have grown up
around here. we are agreeably sur
priSed We are surprised
at the amount of theatrical
talent displayed by all. The play
would have done justice to much
larger town than ours. The net pro
ceedS for the evening was $50. This
play will be given at Jordan next
Friday evening, so we are Informed.
Packsville is still growing. Several
more new houses have been planned
since last week, and some of them are
being put up. Some one sald one day
last week that it was necessary to
come to Packsville every evening IN
order to keep up with the times and
the growth of our town. If you are
Hooking about for a place to invest
YOUR money come to packSvile.
A newspaper has been spoken OF
for this town, and verify we believe
that within two yea from now we
will have a flourishing paper here.
Sheriff D. J. Bradham was III our
town Saturday to see his son, MI;
Judson Bradham, who has charge OF
the business of Mr.. ID. NJ. Bradhall
at this place.
Mr.. II. P. Cuttino, one of our popu-
| l. onDanflH q nOSl-
ton with Mr.. d. NJ. Bradham.
Mr.. J. NJ. Bradham, the new post
master, is beginning to get acqualnt-
ed with the onerous duties that de-
volve upon him as postmaster, put ne
is equal to the emergency and VIII
soon master all the intricate prob
lens relative to it. He is at present
chief dispenser of duns and circulars.
Nomen extends his paw to Mr..
Louis Applet as q token OF ms (No'
men's) sympathy and hearty co-opera-
ton on his (AppelD assuming the
tripod. We would say congratulate
where it is sympathy and hearty CO.
operation, but it is our honest opinion
that an editor needs the sympathy
and cooperation Of the people before
he can mould public sentiment or
elevate the people whom ne wishes 10
benefit. The Times is the best county
paper in South Carolina, having al.
WAYS been true to the best interest OF
the people, and Nomen believes that
under Mr.. Applet it will continue at
it's present high standard.
Miss Mamie White has returned 10
her home at Smithvi!le, after having
spent a month with her sister, Mrs.
G.. NJ. Davis.
Rev. C. ". Creighton preached IN
the academy at this place Sunday
evening. His sermon was good. be
will be here again the third Sunday.
| It is his purpose to organize a sun
| day school in connection with the
Methodist church here. We would
be glad to see large crowd out on the
third Sunday afternoon.
! Why is it, that the rates are so
much higher on the G. S. q n. Il. H.,
than on the Central The freight on
carload Of salt from Sumter 10
Packsville distance Of y miles. IS
more than the value of the salt. Ihe
road charges Mr.. D. NJ. Bradhaml
twelve dollars freight on five thousand
feet Of lumber from here to Tlndals.
Why is this We thought the COM
mission had established minimum
rates and equal rates on al roads. II
the commission has established rates
for all the roads, why is it not in ef-
feet on the C. S. (; N. We would be
glad if the proper authorities would
arrange it so that lumber could be-
shipped from here without the ship
pers having to pay as much as he gets
Cor the lumber on the market
The charges are unreasonable and
exorbitant, and. the commission
should take steps to have them re-
duced at once. Mr. Bradham will
not move his large saw mill here un-
til he gets low freight rates, and un-
less the road makes a reduction
PackSvilie will lose considerable by
this NOMEN.
