Advantages Of Good Roads.
Speaking of the wagon team com
petition with the railroads, the other
day gentleman who is in that line OF
business and who has had experience
enough to know what he is talking
about said: "I'll tell you what is
fact. If we just had roads like this
Charlotte road about fifteen miles each
way from Yorkville, I think we could
make the railroads reduce the freight
on cotton seed hulls."

r. Lee Kerr In Augusta.
Augusta Chronicle, Sunday R. Lee
Kerr, cashier of the Commercial and
Farmers Bank of Rock Hill, South Car
lin, and one of the most public spirited
men York county affords, was in the
city yesterday on business trip. Mr..
Kerr returned home last night. His
business keeps him on the move.

the price of cotton had on the town,
he said if it affected it any way it was
to temporarily depress trade. The
farmers, he said, are keeping an eagle
eye on the market; but are not turn
ing any of the staple loose, rather
preferring to hold it with the hopes
of still greater rise and in this way
the money that would otherwise be in
circulation at this time of year is being
held off with the expectation of an in
crease. His idea, though, that the
minute the market begins to take a
backward course everybody will rush
their staple out and the market will
be flooded; but at the same time even
more money in circulation than usual
will be the result. Mr.. Kerr came
down yesterday on a business trip and
left again last night. All that he could
say for his home was that it was on
the same boom that it had been on for
the past six or seven years. Business
is good and our people are smiling
there is plenty to eat and a stranger
is always welcomed. Mr.. Kerr's stay,
