Columbia, November 20. Tomorrow
is Thanksgiving Day and all business
at tho State Capitol will ;bc suspended.
The Governor aud party leave this
afternoon for Charleston. As | am
booked to go with that party my letter
is written today. | have no doubt tho
Charleston people will cndcavor to
mako the visit pleasant one. The
Governor is Il CharlcsIonian by birth,
and his early boyhood was spent there,
and he still has many friends in the
grand old city. Somehow, however,
| feel like had rather 20 home and
spend Thanksgiving in Newbcrry but
the arrangement at present is that |
shall go the other way.
~
Then am booked for wedding
today, too. SO along with my work
] am to have q little play. | have
already mentioned the approaching
nuptials Of DR.. G. l.. Kiblcr and Miss
Estclle Griffith. That event takes
place today at one o'clock at the home
of the brides parents, Capt. and Mrs.
with weddings and Thanksgiving dim
ncr and Charleston banquets, | don't
sec much prospect Of getting rid Of my
dyspcpsia but got Il prescription last
night from my friend and sch0olmatc
Of other days, DR.. ID. NJ. Crosson, now
Senator Crosson from Lexington, u for
mcr Ncwbcrry boy, and am expecting
# tl,i
time Of trouble. DR.. CrOsson has grown
corpulcnt with his years aud honors,
but is the same in many respects As we
knew him we'll, u few years ago when
we were hoys together down in New
berry County Il few miles from Frog
Lcavol, now Prosperity.

Senator Mower and Col. Hunt have
been in the city during the week, and
one evening got u glimpse Of Col. l..
w. Floyd. | am always glad to see our
Ncwbcrry folks, for will get home
sick sometimes Justice Pope came
down on Monday and has taken up his
abode among Ms during the sitting OF
the Supreme Court which convened the
November term on Tuesday morning.
%x%
Ncwbcrry has two out OF the four ON
this court, and Il third ones ancestors
went from our midst Justice Jones
grew to manhood in Ncwbcrry, n I'd at
one time had the honor to edit the
Ncwhcrry lIcrald-as great an hunor
rs he now cnjoys-~but without the sal
ary. Justice Gury's people went from
Ncwhcrry, though he claims Abbcvillc
as his native county. But when it
comes to sharing the Offices Of course
We Cont care to have these dist;n-
guishcd gentlemen placed to our credit,
still we arc proud Of them and the rec
ord they have made.

find the following item away up in
the Anderson Mail of recent date:
When we sec Columbia being fixed
up SO handsomely in the way OF new
railroads and convenient schedules it
sets us to scratching our head and won
dcring when we shall have change Of
zone train Il day each way" over the
G. e. G. division. This schedule is rs
Il rs the road and Is entirely out Of
date. We do not envy Columbia but
We arc mighty sorry for Anderson and
other up-country points on the line.
We long for the Black Diamond and
"doublc dailics." They will come to
MS in the "swect-by-and-by," may be.
And | want to say to our good con-
temporary that we want the double
daily service on the cid 6. & G. Dvis-
ion: for we have no prospect ola double
lni inn 1,,
and do think it is lawful" | suppose
that is good word in this connection,
that the Southern Hallway Company
one OF the most progressive and aggrcs-
svc systems in tho South should so
long neglect this division. My local
man some time ago said he had 1T
"straight" that the double service was
to go on soon. | never asked him
about the source OF his information.
have just been waiting to see the ser
vice put on. lam still waiting. | wish
he would wake up that railroad man
who told him it was to go on and tell
him We arc still waiting. The same
old schedule we have is tho one that
has been on since | can first remember,
only they run little faster than some
twenty years ago.

! notice some Of the papers are talk
ing about the Governor and Attorney
General taking Il hand in the row that
Mr.. Hasclden has gotten into with the
Sellers. There is no more reason for
such q course than that thew should
interfere with any other personal diff
Guilty. | suppose the local officers will
look after the violation of law and the
disturbance Of the peace down in Mu-
rion County. 1t must be remembered
that the State Board of Control is not
araxaoi Int or l,1r tho Gn...anloa,
