FOR AN EXTRA TRAIN.
Editor Aull Pushing for Ono on &. Il q
Road--Very Much Needed.

Editor T.. II. Aull. of the Newbcrry
Herald and News, who was in the city
lust night, seems determined to secure
an extra. train on the Columbia and
Grccnville railroad. The passenger
traffic on this road seems ample to war
rant the venture, especially ii Editor
Aull succeeds in his efforts to have the
postoflicc department. put on mail
route agent, thereby assisting the rail
road by mitigating the expense.
TO reporter Of The State Mir. Auii
said that it was intended to ask the CO.
operation of all towns Affected by tic
arrangements. Each town will be rt:-
qucstcd to elect delegates to II mcctin.
at Greenwood, the matter being fully
considered there and proper steps taken
to ensure success to the enterprise.
At the Greenwood meeting pcti-
tion, properly drawn up and signed,
will be forwarded to the postmaster
general Oft the United States, praying
the appointment OF route agent for
the extra train. Should the towns
along the route cordially pull together,
there is hope of success. In fact, in snch
a contingency, Editor Anil does not
hesitate to- say he believes the scheme
will gotrrough.
Decisive action is expected, there
fore, from all these towns, and it is rcl-
sonable to suppose they will not neg
lcct nor delay IL matter OF such impor-
tance inasmuch as there has hccn for
several years Il general demand for the
extra train.
1t will be remembered that The State
has repeatedly given space to press
ing public demand for this train TO he
put on, and the public longs to see II
move made in that direction.
Being assured Of having IL mail route
agent on the train, the railroad men
| might feel justified in undertaking the
venture. In fact, for the greater part
of the year II daily passenger train has
| run over this road from Prosperity tC
| Grccnvillc and it would require only
| an hours extra run TO extend the ser.
vice to Columbia, thereby greatly in
crcasing the trailic and ut the Same
| time comforting an incalculable bless
ing on the travelling public.
Surely il such train paid expenses
when run without mail agent and
| carrying on through travel, it ought tC
be very profitable with both these fcn
! tures.
The towns along the route now have
something definite to work on, and il the
opportunity is utilized and pressed the
extra train might be secured. Th,
| benefits are so numerous and valuable
that it merits an earnest trial anyway
and Editor Aull is doing good scrvic,
in trying TO promote tssucccss.
A prominent travelling man said yes
tcrday that all com ncrciul traveller:
had appreciated the train run from
| Prosperity. 1t had been great con
! vcnicncc to them, and they would still
more appreciate Il service that woult
cover the entire road. This senLi
ment was echoed by Il number o
"Knights of the Grip" now in the city

Dear Mr.. Editor: Please allow me to
tell you Of one Of, If not the incest,
incidents in my experience, and which
you unfortunately missed by not being
present. | refer to the festival the
ladies of Kings Creek gave last Thurs
day, the 22nd, at Col. j. G. S Browns
Doubtless you remember the night was
not propitiOus, and many were the anx-
iOus hopes that yet there might be an
auspiciOus change in the weuthcr-that
the heavy clouds, threatening rain,
would pass nway-and that the queen
of lights would shine more glorionsly,
thereby persuading some of the more
dubious to venture out.
Nevertheless, while all these desires
and hopes were not gratiiied Us to the
beauty and cnchantmcnt of the night,
they were more than realized by the
most snnguine in the grandeur and
richness of the appetiZers in store for
| that occasion, and in its successful ter
mination.
Besides the splendid supper, with it's
tasteful hash and its appropriate con-
comitants, followed by beautiful, ele-
gnnt and various cakes, with rs varied
| iced cream, there was II concourse of
genial and fclicitOus people. Delight
and pleasantry were visible on every
face, each one determined on the pie.; =
| urc of all the rest. The supper was
| served by the young ladies, and they at
once caught the admiration Of all with
their innocence, promptncss, sweet
ness and beauty-evcry face radiant
with smiles and mcrrimcnt. These
were the incentives that stimulated the
gallantry of the young men to its no
blest purpose. They did honor to the
occasion and respectful attention I 0 the
ladies'.
You, Mr.. Editor, were looked for,
| and had you been present yoa would not
! have regretted it.
May we have another when colt OIL
| advances. Respectfully,
September 2G, 1903. w.

Newbrrry College

Will begin the fall session of 1893 on
Monday next at a. m and all the pn-
pills are earnestly requested to be on
hand promptly at that hour.
President Cromer Is very much en-
couraged at the outlook. From SO to
70 new students are expected and
among the number will be several
young ladies'.
If tho old students return AS they
should with the Influx Of new ones the
enrolment this year will exceed that
Of last year considerably and that was
the finest session IN point Of numbers in
the history Of the college.
The interior Of the college has heen
recently white washed and thoroughly
cleaned up and everything is now in
good shape for the boys.
There is need for more dOrmitOries. j.
A good scheme would be 10 build some
four and six room cottages around on
the college grounds for the use of STU
dents. 1t would be better than having
all the students room in the college
building. There will have to be some
thing done very soon. This is matter
for action by the trustees at their meet
ing in November.
Everything possible should be done
for the comfort and convenience Of the
Students
We arc delighted that the prospects
are bright and that everything prom
iscs successful session.

CERVERA'S REPORT.

The war department has received the
report of Admiral Ccrycra to Gen.

the Spanish cause off Santiago. It's as
follows:

In compliance with your orders, |
went out yesterday from Santiago dc
Cuba with all the squadron and after
an uncquallcd combat against forces

not in such great numbers the living as
prisoners of the Americans The con-
duct of the crews rose to height that
won the most enthusiastic plaudits Of
the enemy. The commander of the

crew are very grateful for the noble
