BLACKSBURG BUDGET.

The Reorganization Of the South Carolina
and Georgia Extension and It's Effects
Other Notes Of Interest.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURG, May 22.-The pur-
chase of the South Carolina & Georgia
railroad by the Southern, and the
rather unceremonious leaving of the 5.
C. & G. Extension formerly the o. r.
& G. road) to take care of itself, is not
only quite a help to our town; but
will, eventually, be no doubt benefit
to the road itself. The officers of the
road will all be brought back here,
and this will be the central point for
all trains, and the schedule which was
in force before the S. G. & G. lease
will be resumed with but slight
changes.
The passenger trains for Camden
and Marion will leave here at the
same time-8.20 o'clock q. m.-and
will return, the former at 5.55 p. M,
and the latter at go p. M.
Mr.. P. H. Freeman and family, after
several months sojourn in Florida,
have returned, and occupy the Mrs. L..
Deal residence on Rutherford street.
Mr.. Freeman, who was one of the
former officials of the o. R. & c., will
again be connected with it, filling an
important position in the auditing de-
partment.
Mr.. II. J. Bruce, who was once audi
tor, has again been appointed to that
position in the reorganization, will
have his Office at this place instead of
at Shelby as formerly.
Conductor Boxtel has moved back,
with his family, and is occupying the
Norcross dwelling, near Cherokee Inn,
until recently occupied by Master
Mechanic w. J. Wilcox. The latter
accepted very flattering offer from
the Santa Fe railroad, and is now in
New Mexico, his place being filled in
the O. R. & c. shops by Mr.. VIM. Jen-
kins, a fine machinist and very cap
able man.
On Friday evening last, at the resi-.
dence of DR.. J. T. Darwin, the mem
bers of the Nineteenth Century club
gave to their husbands, who are al
lowed the privilege of being honorary
members of the club, most delightful
entertainment. Dickens was the au-
thor for the evening, each member and
guest being required to give quota.
ton from his writings, and after flow
of art and reason and feast of soul,
the guests were invited to the spacious
dining room, which was beautifully
decorated, and where tempting viands
were served, chief of which were lus-
cious strawberries grown in the gar
den of mine host. An unique feature
of the occasion was the adoption by
the ladies of the Continental costume,
and I must confess that with their
powdered hair, white neckkerchiefs,
and neat white caps, they made very
pretty Martha Washingtons, and
placed their guests under many obli-
cations for charming evening.
Mail Agents Woods and Wilson, En-
gineer Metcalf, Mr.. Don Lumpkin and
others will become citizens of Blacks
burg again and will be welcomed back.
Mr.. N. w. Hardin returned on Sat-
urday from Florence, where he went

Pythias as delegate from the lodge at
this place.
Mr.. A. A. Moore, of Rock Hill, has

EXPANSION, OR
SPREADING OUT. {: {:

THE kind of expansion most people
l. have been thinking Of lately has had
reference to national affairs. In fact,
Uncle Sam, for humanity's sake, put bis
foot upon the Spaniard's neck in Cuba
and demanded satisfaction. OF course all
the Spaniard wanted was just to be let
alone; but he had the Cuban down, at
least was trying to keep him down, and
Uncle Sam demanded that he let the Gu
ban up and get off the island without de-
lay. Well, of course that that was right;
bat the fact is that Uncle Sans foot being
rather large, when 1t was put on Cuban
soil tramped upon that same Spaniard IN
Porto Rico, and. very naturally, when the
Spaniard left Cuba he must leave Porto
Rico too. Now when Uncle Sam stepped
out with his left foot into the Atlantic, he
could not Eeep his balance without step
ping out correspondingly into the Pacific,
and being afraid that Hawaii would not
hold him up, he reached out a little furth-
or toward the Eastern World and hap
pened to step upon the Philippines. There
these people the same way he had done
in Cuba. So Uncle Sam said to himself,
here's another place for humanitarian
work, 80 I'll send this trifling Spauiard to
his mothers house and-and-and-.
Well, this is pretty rich country, and l
believe I'll take this myself, and it will
be better for the people anyway. They
may kick up about it little at first, be-
ing strangers to us but they will soon
learn to love US.
Well, I did not intend to 60 so much
into detail, as this is not the kind OF e4-
pansion meant to talk about.
The Kind of Expansion
I am particularly speaking of, is that
which comes after particularly
Good Dinner.
One feels so large. In a great hurry
hasn't time to take long breath-in fact
has hardly any breath at all-gasping and
groaning. Now this kind Of Expansion
Is due to indigestion, from FERMENTA-
TIoN of the food.
"Anti-Ferment" Cures
Expansion
Of this kind promptly. Assaults forts
and block houses, goes right to the seat
of war-destroys the germ. Makes no
mistakes; no failures; reports no CASUAL

It is equally powerful in Diarrhoa,

day the reporter was shown several large
Eastern schedules that mad just come to
hand, on which the mills did not even
submit figures, from the simple reason
that they were loaded up for the present
on this class of material and could not
give the quick delivery required, or could
use the material asked for TO better adj
vantage In another market. Could salts
factory and just freight rate be secured,
much greater business would be done with
North Atlantic ports, but the present rates
are almost prohlbitive and it is only in
special Instances that the mills care to
undertake the business.
From Mexico there continues a lively
demand for material OF all kinds but
more particularly for railroad building
There is an immense amount of capital
now being invested in the land of Monte
zumas in factories, mines and railroads,
all of which require much lumber and the
effects of 1t are made apparent here in
the number of orders for material being
received by the mills at this place.
In the export trade there is plenty of
business to be had for the taking, but the
mills are not taking a great deal, for more
reasons than one. While they, of course,
will not entirely neglect this class of
business, which has tided them over some
rough places in the past, still it is natural
the trade that brings the biggest profit
and this is not the export trade just at this
stage of the game.
