ing investment.

The proposition Of Editor Coma
les to annex portion of Lexington
county to Ricbland and Columbia
is not regarded at all seriously.
It is looked upon as one of the
States inimitable jokes. There is
nothing doing in politics; busi-
ness has taken its summer vaca-
ton; the excitement ever the condem-
nation of Sidney Park has about sub
sided; the Olympia mill is thing Of
the future, and the spiudles Of The
other mills are merrily humming;
the free bridge is not wanted; Colun-
bia has purchased two fire alarm
bells: the City fathers have decided
to erect $4,000 city hall; it is
too hot for billing and cooling; times
are too hard for the e-young people to
marry, and in this age Of rapid pro-
gress the people really haven't time
to die; Ben Tillmau has been cussed
from A to lizard so often, that really
this delightful and congenisl pastime
of the talented and amiable young
editor of the State has become mono
tonous to him, and in order to find
some other source for the dis
play of Lis wonderful gift Of fun
making he must have conceived this
brilliant conception. Editor Con.
zales seriously advocting the doctrine
of expansion! Preposterous! Why,
it is undemocratic; it is in opposition
to the principle Of the Monroe doc
trine, wby-er-er-er-Perisht the
thought!

The injunction proceedings against
the Seaboard Air Line Company in
reference to the condemnation Of
Sidney Park in Columbia, were
heard by Judge Buchanan in Colum-
bia on the 7th inst, and the tempo
rary injunction dissolved. A jury
was drawn to fix the damages and
after mature deliberatiou, placed the
figures at $4,000. which was paid
Monday and receipted for by Clerk
Talley. Notice of appeal from Judge
Buchanan's decision was given. The
railroad people commenced work in
the Park Immediately after the &C
ceptance Of the money by the city.
The citizens who are fighting the
railroad applied to Judge McIver in
chambers at Cheraw yesterday, for a
stay of the Circuit Judges order
pending the hearing of the appeal
case. The motion has been refused.

Y. Wilson, an employed at tho Fair
field cotton mills, was killed here late
yesterday evening by the north

Gray on one side and Mr.. Wilson en-
the other. L. seems that Mi. Wilson

R2undlap Cotton Bales.
To Satisfy the Demand the Entire
Crop Will Eventually Be So
Baled.

Baled.
For once the cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations.
For years the cotton tie ring, the
baggipg combine and the compress
people have all lived off the cotton
grower. There was no way to fight
them and so they grew rich on their
enormous profits, which the farmers
had to pay. Now the American
Cotton Company with its Roundlap
bale is in the field and it is so revolu-
tionizipg the cotton handling bust
ness that many of the old expenses
are necessarily wiped out. The
farmers must inevitably get a large
share of this saving, but the old
compress people and the bagging
and tie trust are raising a great COM
motion against the American Cotton
Company as though they had always
been the friends of the farmer. Un-
fortunately for them they never
played the friendly act before and
now the farmers doubt the sincerity
of their repentance.
The Roundlap bale is the trade
mark name given by the American
Cotton Company to its round bale to
dis:ir quish it from all other bales.
The cotton mills of New England
and of Europe are eager buyers of
this bale because as compared with
al other bales it has many sdvan-
tages covered by broad patents,
which greatly lessen the cost of man.
ufacture to the mill. This Roundlap
bale eliminates two or three processes
in manufacturing and as the cotton
mills of the world are willing to pay
more for this cotton than any other,
it naturally follows that to secure the
highest prices all southern cotton
must in time be put up in this
Rourdlap form. Mr.. VIM. G. Lover
ing, one of the most distinguished
cotton mill men Ct New England
says:
I do not hesitate to say that the
time is coming when the cotton
manufacturers all over the world will
insist that their cotton shall be de-
livered to them in the form of
Roundlap bale

SEABoARD AIR LINE r r.

The Seabosrd Air Line Railroad
has succeeded in getting possession
of Sidney Park in Columbia, for
trackage and depot purposes. The
sum of $4,000 has been paid to the
city council CT Columbia and the
railroad company holds the receipt
of city Clerk and Treasurer Talley
therefor. Hence it is settled fact
that this road will come to Columbia
from Cheraw, via Camden.
Common report has it, and the re-
port has not been denied, that it is
the intention of the management OF
the Seaboard Railroad, to build an
extension from Columbia to Aiken at
once. Surveys looking to this end
have been made in the southern por-
ton of this county within seven miles
of this place. As we understand the
route of the proposed extension
to Aiken, however, has Tot been
definitely settled upon, hence it
may be the means of doing much
good to our people and save money
to the railroad, by inviting the atten-
ton of the railroad authorities to an,
other route, by which their ends can
be accomplished at a less expense
and far greater assurance of draw.
ing support for the road after its
completion and at the sametime
lengtheniDg the distance only mile
or so if any at all. There are seve
raj admirable natural ridges leading
by way of this town, any one OF
which can be utilized for railroad
purposes at very small expense.
When it reaches Lexington it will
be found that this ridge continues
until it reaches Aiken.
The country. along this route
is far advanced in agriculture and
manufacture. Its lands are rich and
fertile and productive, producing
fruits, vegetables, cereals, cotton,
corn, pease, sugar cane and tobacco
in great abundance. The back coun-
try is equally as rich and fertile
and will add considerable revenue TO
the road. At this point alone, there
are paid for freights in round num-
bers $4,000 of which amount the
factory companies pay about $4,000.
The passenger business will greatly
increase this amount 1t is safe,
however, to say that there is a
freight and passenger business done
at this place amounting to at least
$4,000 per annum. This sum will
be greatly increased by the building
of the Aiken extension of the Sea-
board Air Line along the line men
toned. There is no doubt about
there being large and paying bust
ness for the road that will build
along this route. We will Lave more
to say on this subject from time to
time, but in the meantime it will pay
the Seaboard Air Line officials to
look into the merits of this route and
we are convinced that they will be
favorably impressed with the ability
of the country through which the
route passes to give the road large
support and hence it will be a pay
ing investment.
