vile is being Systematically pushed
by the Security Construction Com
pany. The president of this company
is one of Charleston's leading and
most substantial citizens and great
things will soon be accomplished in
this direction, as several hundred
thousand dollars have already been
subscribed and the earl y completion
of the road is now no longer problem
atical. This company has the key
to the situation and the power and
determination to remove the obstruc-
lions of railroad determinations that
have so long and so elfectually lsloated
Charleston.
Once this obstacle is overcome,
Charleston will begin new era Of
business activity. There will be no
pop and fizz or boom and sizz,. such as
almost paralyzed Birmingham and
Chattanooga, but will 60 onward and
forward with a regular and irresistible
movement. We will soon enjoy a
new city park and an elegant theatre.
Ashley junction is to be abolished
and the South Carolina and Georgia
Railroad is extending down to the
wharves. \ new steamship line will
shortly create further competition on
freight tariffs inwards and our new
road will surely give us low rates out
wards We bid fair TO outrun Savan-
nah and distance Augusta; Norfolk
and Richmond Will be out in the cold
for the Seaboard and Southern will
bow down to us with better rates. In
short, we will be able to do as well by
freights and prices as any Of our
neighbors and none be capable of do
ing that which we cannot do. We
shall compete favorably with Atlanta
for trade as near them as Stone Noun
tain and our progress and prosperity
will be of the long staple, double
twisted variety, with absolutely no
huckleberry above or beyond our com
mercial persimmon.

THAT AIKEN MIDDLE.
What the Comptroller General Says About
the Condition of Affairs.

COLUMBIA, S. G. July g. Comp
troller General Norton has returned
from Aiken where he has recently been
to make his annual settlement with
the county officials, and to examine
the condition of affairs in that county.
The result of this. examination has been
awaited with interest, in view of the
grand jury of the county.
Mr.. Norton says that he found that
are irregularities in the office
of the county commissioners,
such as letting contracts or froads
bridges, etc. He does not, however,
think there has been any benefit accru-
ing to the individual members of the
board. He says that is also true that
the expenses of the county show an
crease of 81, 900 or IS, 600 over the ex-
penses of last year and previous years.
While thisis true, be says, the county
commissioners are not entirely re-
sponsible for itand a comparison of the
expenses for the years previous to
this year shows that the county COM
missioners had spent no money for the
construction of roads and bridges.
This part of their duty had been neg
lected and finally it became public
necessity this year to begin the work.
This required an expenditure which
seems to indicate that the present COM
missioners have spent more than they
ought to have done. The main incre-
ase in the expenditures is to be found
in the court expenses, owing to the In
crease of the number of criminal cases
and the money that had to be paid
witnesses and jurors. It was some
thing that could not be helped.
In regard to the grand jury that
Supervisor Sawyer had used public
funds to pay his private debts Mr..
Norton says that Sawyer did pay some
private debts on a claim he had against
the county for money owed him.
AS to the charge Of fogery against
Sawyer, Mr.. Norton says Sawyer did
sign the name of Major Champion, the
clerk of the board to a certificate while
Champion was sick and needed the
money, but he did it IN the prese nee
of the board, and with the boards
consent.
The Comptroller state further that,
so far as his investigation went, there
was no politics in the report of the
grand jury. 1t was composed OF
twelve Reformers and FIVE Censervat-
ives, andthe special committee which
investigated all these things was COM
posed OF three Reformers and two
Conservatives. While the irregulari-
ties are apparent, Mr.. Norton says he
believes that there has been no defal-
cation, and the irregularities have re-
suited from lack of knowledge of
the law more than anything else

SOCIETY HILL, July IA sad catas-
trophe occurred in Chesterfield last

4 Desperate Killed.

HopKISsvILLE, July News has
Just reached here of terrible tragedy
in Trigg county late Saturday evening.
Frank Colston, adesperado residing in
that county, had difficulty with and
shot and severely wounded John II.
Rhodes, farmerof his nelghborhood.
Another farmer, named Hammond,
who was present and who was a friend
of Rhodes. attempted to assist Rhodes:
Colstol then shot and instantly killed
Hammond before he could render any
assistance to his wounded friend.
For some reason Colston, after
wounding Rhodes, did not shoot him
again, probably thinking him dead.
Colston did not attempt to escape nor
did any one attempt to arrest him. but
he went on where he was going when
the difficulty was begun. y few hours
later Colston, in company with a
prostitute, went to the house of anoth-
er farmer. The farmer ordered the
desperate and the woman to leave his
place. They refused to do so and at
tackled the farmer, who, securing a
weapon, succeeded in killing both Col
ston and the woman.

The Bridge Collapse.

ELKHART, Ind, July IA terrible
accident occurred at Bristol, small
town six miles from this city, late this
afternoon. During the progress of a
boat race on the St. Joseph river six
hundred people were jammed or a
three-span iron bridge. During the
finish of an exciting race, and while
the crowd was cheering tremendously,
the bridge gave way. The mass of
humanity was precipitated into the
water forty feet below. AS far as
known at present thirtyeight persons
injuries and it is feared that many of
them will die. Luckily the water was
five feet deep or many would have un-
doubtedly been drowned. Owning to
excitement and rapid scattering of the
injured by their friends, it will be some
time before a complete list OF the in
iured can be obtained.

enormous destruction of property. She

THE DEARTH OF BIRDS.

The Washington correspondent and the Editor of THE BEE comment upon
 the scarcity of birds this year. In and around our own ranch, we had not notic- ed it. The pair of orioles swing their
 hammock in the big maple near the house
 just as they or their ancestors have done ever since your correspondent was a youngster. The bobolinks in large num- bers balance on tall herdgrass or slen-
 der rye stalk and sing tipsily "Tailor,
 tailor mend my brooches. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, if you'll find patches, patches,' D while Socrates, wisest Of felines, deposits a young robin on the front door steps just five minutes before the arrival of the stately, dignifed, mortified formal
 caller, with the same president regularity
 that has characterized his actions in
 previous seasons. The chimney swallow, too. seems to show no sign of extinction chimney with a noise suggestive of earth quakes and thunder storms. We believe it to be fact though, that many varie- ties of birds are growing less plentiful and we are sure everyone has noticed the
 wonderful increase of the varieties of creatures that hum, buzz, fly, crawl and creep. Indeed this may almost be called the insect age.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The Sabbath school will have picnic
 near the church and literary exercises
 comporting with the day. The Grange
 and Sabbath school will act together
 in the matter. It is expected that
 Mir Gardner will read poem nthe Rev
 olution, which he read in church, July 4, 1891, opening:
 l "This war, from divers causes springs Beginning at the roots of things In English hearts, and English homes | Bred, indeed, in their very bones." He gives an episode on Molly Pitcher,
 who took her husbands place at gun after he fell, and defended the post until the battle of Monmouth was ended. Washington gave her a commission and half pay for life.
 The men her Major Molly nam'd Since which, she's ever been much fam'd Washington, her commission gave Half pay for life, she was so brave. We did not call attention to Lydia
 Darrach, quaker woman of Philadel-
 phia, who by her heroism defeated a plan of Gen Howe to surprise and at | tack Washington's camp at White Marsh. The adjutant general of the British army had his headquarters in the house where she Ilived. .She overheard the conversation of the British officers, and managed to get word to an American officer, and when the British reached there, they found Washington ready for them at every point. Like a parcel of fools they were compelled to march back and leave Washington unmolested. She was called to account. She was asked if any of the family were up on the night previous to the day on whick they left the city. She said no. They retired at 8 o'clock. The British officer said: ssI know you was asleep for I knocked at your door three times before you heard me, yet it is certain we were betrayed.'' This was in December, 1777.

AT THE GARNET WORKS.

Owing to the large amount of travel ing MT Williams of the Garnet works has to do he found 1t impossible to look after the working of his mine and mill. Con- sequently he has appointed his master
 mechanic, John Pierce, IT,, to take charge of the work, which is quite re- lief of both mind and body. But few know the strain to be held responsible for all work done at a plant of that kind. Everything has been built under his di- rection and supervision from the founda- tion to where it now is. Besides this Mir Williams has always done all the purchasing of supplies, hiring the help, paying off the men and acting as general
