The Washington Post Of February 10
has the following about the South Car
olina delegation to the D. A. r. con-
gress in session in Washington: The
Palmetto State has sent an unusually
strong delegation to the national con-
gress Of the D. A. r. Mrs. Clark War
ing, Of Columbia, the able and popu-
lar State regent, as usual, heads the
delegation. Mrs. Waring is candid
ate for the position of vice president
general from South Carolina. There
are 20 of these, and South Carolina, as
one Of the original 13, askes that this
honor be given to her daughter. Mrs.
Waring has made a most acceptable
State regent, has fine ability, is gra-
cious and tactful, and has ever been
most jealous in advancing the inter-
est of the D. A. r. Among the chap
ter regents in the city are Miss L. d.
Witherspoon, of the Kings Mountain
chapter; Mrs. Francis Jones, of the Re-
becca Motto chapter. Mrs. w. A. Law
and Mrs. r. K. Carson represent Cow
pens chapter; and Catawba chapter
sends Mrs. A. R. Smith. Kings Noun
tain chapter, Of Yorkville, S. c., a
Young but strong and enthusiastic
chapter, sends, besides its delegate and
alternate, Miss Witherspoon and Mrs.
D. E. Finley. wife Of Representative
Finley, three Of its members, Mrs. 5.
M. McNeel, Mrs. B. N. Moore and Miss
Margaret A. Gist. Miss Jennie Hart, OF
this chapter, has the honor Of serving
as one of the pages Of this congress.
More Of the Same Runor.
Spartanburg Journal, Monday: There
is much interest among railroad and
business men in the evident intention
and great desirability Of the Seaboard
and Coast Line systems to reach this
section Of the country from the east.
Spartanburg and Gaffney in this state.
and Rutherfordton and Henrietta, N.
c., are objective points. This city Is
the only one touched by the Coast Line,
and it is reached indirectly. Positive
information has come that the Coast
Line is practically certain to bring the
South Carolina and Georgia Co.'s ex-
tension from Blacksburg and Gaffney
to Camden and Marion, III miles. This
would bring the road into direct con-
nection with the manufacturing dis
trict, especially if line should be run
to Clifton from Gaffney. The argument
against parallel roads does not work in
this case, as the most profitable part OF
the South Carolina and Georgia Exten-
sion is the Gaffney-Blacksburg line.
Clifton affords over a million pounds
of freight per month. If the Gaffney
line is not built to Clifton, it is evident
the Clifton freight will be reached
from this city by an extension Of the
C. & w. c., which Is controlled by the
Coast Line. Jesse Cleveland, Of this
city, recently wrote to Samuel Hunt,
president Of the S. c. & Ga. Extension,
as to the prospects Of extending his
road to this city. His reply indicates
that nothing is to be done in that d.
rection soon; but the information that
the Coast Line will absorb that road
throws some light on the matter.
