turkey Creek Bridge.
I The chaingang was removed Thurs
day from Supervisor Gordon's to the
Pinckney road, to rebuild the Carroll
bridge over Turkey creek The ford
across the creek at this place has been
washing out rapidly Of late and be-
coming more dangerous daily. 1t Is
proposed to replace the old bridge With
a first-class structure, and 1t is expect
ed that the work will require several
days, after which the gang will be re-
turned to the Waters hill in Catawoa
township.
The Liquor Traffic.
People who live along the Kings
Mountain road, say that there has been
a noticeable falling off in the jug traf-
fic during the past two weeks. They
attribute the situation to the ratner
rough manner in which violatorS OF the
dispensary law were dealt with at the
recent term of the court Of general ses-
sions. The thing now is for the people
more directly interested to hold on TO
the advantage they have, and 1t will be
a good idea if they will keep the dis
pensary constables informed as to the
individuals who are most frequently
seen carrying jugs along the road.

No Concern of the Citadel.
w. w. Lewis, Esq. a member of the
board of visitors of the South Carolina
Military academy. said yesterday: Up
on the publication of Cadet Gardner'S
letter. Tuesday. became so thorough
ly satisfied that it was without author
ity that I Immediately communicated
with the chairman of the board of Wis
itors. 1 have just received reply in
which my opinion is fully confirmed.
Cadet Gardner represented neither the
faculty or the Citadel in this matter.
In this connection, wish to state also,
that neither the Citadel nor the faculty
proposes to take a hand in contro-
versy with which they have absolutely
nothing to do. The Citadel does not
propose to stand sponsor for its gradu-
ates, and the determination of the guilt
or innocence of Major Bradham and
Captain Law, lies in their hands with
out assistance or interference from the
Citadel authorities
Planting Lots of Sorghum.
Mr. G. Scott Cobb, of Hickory Grove,
told the reporter last week that the
people OF his nelghDOrhOOQ are arranS-
ing to plant more sorghum this year
than usual. Mr.. Cobb is probably the
most expert cane raiser and molaSSeS
manufacturer Of this county. 1t was he
who first demonstrated the value of the
sorghum crop to his neighbors some Is
or 20 years ago, and who, with the CO.
operation Of Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson, final
ly developed cane growing and molas-
ses making to the proportions they have
since attained in the neighborhood.
The reporter neglected to obtain from
Mr.. Cobb figures showing the number
of barrels of mola SseS boiled last year.
but it is safe in saying that the quanti-
ty he turned out was larger than that
of any other half dozen men in the
county. He said, however, that in his
section it has been determined that
what is called the sumac cane, is the
better adapted to this section than is
any other variety. 1t gives a larger
yield of juice and is richer in sugar. 1t
has been planted very largely this year.
