NEW ZION NOTES.

New Zion, March 10.-This section
is rapidly building up.
Salem has gone wild over tobscco,
and the people will plant more this
year than ever before. The many
new beginners deserve congratula-
tions for the enterprise they are ex-
hibiting.
Good, healthy water is another
consideration with the Salem people.
Artesian wells are to be found almost
everywhere.
The population is fast increasing.
People are moving In from all quar-
ters, and it will not be long before
New Zion will be a big business town
with live, wide-awake merchants
who will not be afraid to advertise
their stocks Of goods and who viii
be public spirited enough to endeav-
or to induce trade even il they have
to 60 down into their pockets to
build warehouses and other things to
make a market for We farmers.
D. W. Alderman tried Sumter in
the mercantile business, but he gave
it up to take his chances in Salem.
The old gentleman has got long
head and he is making large addi-
tions to his store here. Opposition is
the life OF trade and we want to see
several big stores here.
New Zion church has just eomplet-
ed a fine artesian well.
Candidates can get meals over here
at twenty-five cents, and some Of
them will find Salem a poor invest
ment when the election Is over. It
is not always the early bird that
catches the worm. When man
starts out bin the beginning Of a
year to hunt an Office to
be voted for the, latter part of the
year, the people regard him too early
a bird, and they will sit down upon
him when the time comes, sure.
Some bachelors are hauling lumber
and building houses. One is hurry
ing the building Of his and it is to be
built large enough for two. There
are five new houses on modern style
being put up within five miles. La
dies, this is leap year.

WORDS FROM WILSON'S.

Wilson's, March 10.-As you haven't
had any news from Wilson's for some
time. we will try and give you a few
dots, but news is very scarce just now.
Everybody is busy with their work
trying to get ready to plant. hea,
of a few around here that are going
to commence planting corn this
week.
I am sorry to hear of so much fer
tilizers being bought this spring. 1t
means big debt and five cents cot.
ton to pay it with. But we are glad
to say that the farmers around Viii
sons are not stuck on cotton. They
are ''hog and hominy" people, and
as a rule raise plenty of meat and
bread for their own use. And happy
is that people who don't have to buy
meat or bread. There are only few
in the neighborhood who are going
to try tobacco.
Measles have literally swept this
country. A few have them now and
a few more are lodging them.
Our very efficient railroad agent,
Mr.. W. L. Burgess, still holds the
fort at Wilson's. We stake him
against any agent on the Coast Line
for politeness and efficiency.
Mr.. r. II. Johnson's wife is very ill,
near Wilson's, and not expected to
live.
Mr.. R. r. Hudgins, of Foreston,
buys cross ties here one day out OF
every week. SANTA.

TOWN ELECTION.

An election for town officers must take
place next month, the second Monday In
April. A town council is of great impor-
tance to town and every man that owns
property here should interest himself and
see to it that good set of officers are chos.
en-. Heretofore there has been great deal
of Indifference as who to put on the council
and the consequence is that one man has
the whole thing on his hands. We should
bring forward men who have the welfare Of
the town at heart, and who would take a
deep interest in its progress. II ever q
town needed good strong government 1t
is this. Property owners, if you sit idly
and indiherently down and refuse to take
an active interest in this matter. do not
complain if you are taxed and you see moth
ing for your money. Do sot complain il
your streets become the rendezvous for the
boisterous and ro~dy. do not complain If
the laws of the land are violated before
your very faces. and do not complain If
your property does not receive the protec-
ton it should. We throw out the sugges-
ton for our citizens to ponder over. and if
after this reminder. they will not be
aroused, it is their own fault if men have
themselves elected who are obnoxious. and
who have no regard for law and order.

The D. ". Alderman Sons Co.. of Alcolu.
have already employed an expert to super.
intend their knitting mill soon to be start
ed. We,slso learn that this enterpriSing
concern are thinking seriously of building
a cotton factory. and should they determine
tn do so, they will give Manning the refusal
to fence herself in to make a truck farm to
furnish vegetables for the increased growth
of Alcolu's population which such push
and enterprise necessarily brings.

SUMMERTON SAYINGS.

Summerton, March 3.-The public
sale here on Saturday was attended
by quite a number Of gentlemen from
our county seat. Prominent among
them were Sheriff D. J. Bradham,
Messrs. Jas. E. Davis, B. a. johnson,
J. Elbert Davis, D. N. Bradham. and
W. E. Jenkinson. Sheriff Bradham
welded the auctioneer's hammer,
and under his persuasive eloquence
the goods brought fairly good prices.
The goods were sold by order OF the
sureties of Mr.. J. aE.; Tenant, late
postmaster, same being goods SUR
rendered to Mr.. Tenant by Mr.. w.
E. Keels.
The Epworth League had the pleas
ure of an address by Rev. Mr.. Wat
son, pastor of this circuit, at its
meeting last night. His subject was
the value of pure and true manhood
and womanhood. He treated his
subject we'll, and very forcibly
pressed home some earnest thoughts.
The League is reported to be in a
growing condition.
You wanted to know some weeks
ago what had become Of our starch
factory. 1t is sufficient to say just
now that the stock has risen few
points, and now is a very good time
to buy stock. How much do you
want? BY the way, how about your
knitting mills, canning factories, ETC.?
We can afford to start half dozen
enterprises, fail in all, and yet have
not such bright(O record as some of
our sister towns.
There will be meeting at Mr.. R. 81.
Belser's on Thursday night Of all in
terested in organizing and setting on
foot a circulating library. 1t is pro.
posed to have library of books and
also to take good many Of the best
magazines, so that by little cost a
person can get to read a good many
different publications. We have
been hammering at a circulating IL
brary for five or six years, and at
last there is fair prospect OF seeing
our hopes and e1ertions reach
fruition.
Messrs. J. q. Keels, J. s. Watt, r.
B. Mellett, and H. n. AcCollum are
going to try tobacco this year. The
balance will plant cotton.

SILVER SPARKLINGS.

Silver, March 9.-1 haven't much
news to relate this week owing TO the
fact that our enterprising farmers
throughout the community are most
too busy at present for much pleas
ure. I say much pleasure, for We
have had some IN the shape Of socia.
ables, and occasionally little dance.
It was the writer's pleasure to ct
tend one last Thursday night at Ir.
Beatson's, which was given In honor
of two charming young ladies who
were visiting from Elloree, Miss Katie
Wockter and Miss c. D. Way.
It was also our pleasure to attend
the closing exercises of the Pamela
academy last Friday night, and to
say the least, we were delighted, as
we know everybody must have been.
The children certainly acquitted
themselves with much credit to their
teacher and trainer, Mr.. W. s. Rich
bourg.
Spring has made it's appearance in
our neighborhood. The fruit trees
are in bloom and we begin to expert
ence some Of the pleasant sensations
caused by an occasional Whit Of per
fumed air, as it is waited towards us
laden with the aroma from the dow
ers. The country is the place to find
these, and our community is the
place to find the country.
By the way, spring reminds Us OF
the near approach Of Easter.
The ladies' missionary society OF
Andrews Chapel are preparing to
celebrate that occasion, and we know
it viii be something nice.
Our community experienced a very
sad event last week in the death OF
Mr.. Willie Jones, a young man OF
about twenty years Of age. BE was
buried at Andrews Chapel Saturday,
the 7th inst. We extend our sympa-
thy to his bereaved parents. We are
reminded by this young mans sad
death that it is not always the old
who die.
Misses Alice and Leila Davis, of
Jordan, spent Saturday and Sunday
at Mr.. F. g. Chewning's. These
young ladies are always welcome in
our community, and We hope they
will come again.
Well, Mr.. Editor, I can't think of
anything else.
Our farmers are about ready to
plant corn, but I think they are
waiting for the moon to change, or
something like that. q.
