Fusion Forces Rejoicing.
Today there is much rejoicing among
Republican insurgents and among Demo
rats, because they made it possible TO
accentuate the differences existing in the
Republican camp. It portends, II nothing
else, a great contest in the next House,
if it be Republican. for Speaker Honder-
son, it may safely be presumed, will now
have to fight for his scepter, if he wants
to retain it.

eve did it, with our little differential''
Most of the credit (the Ways and Means
Republicans call it the responsibility }.
lies with the beet sugar men of California,
Minnesota, and Michigan. To remove the
differentiaI on refined sugar. opening this
market to the cheap sugar of the world,
would mean death, not only to the sugar
trust, but to the beet sugar industry as
well.
Yet the men from Michigan, from Min
nesota, from California gave the amend
ment bold support, not because they want
the differentiaI removed, but because they
know that only in that shape could the
bill, having passed the House, become ut
terIy impossible of passage in the Senate.
This was no guesswork On their part.
Assurances from many Senators to that
effect had come to the beet sugar men.
Nor would the SeEate, realizing the ear
nestness of the purpose of the beet sugar
men of the House, and the strength of
their alliance with the Democrats, under

ADVANTAGES OF THE
UNION STATION BILL

most disadvantageously by the proposed
legislation are those living in and around
lexington. This suburb has the railroad
to the east and south and a hill to the
west. over which the streets are not yet
improved. and even when improved viii
have heavy grades. Communication with
the city Is only to be had along r Street,
between Second Street and lexington
Place. This short piece of street has
double ear tracks with curves at Ecking-
ton Place and Second Street, making it
rather difficult passing
Existing legislation provides for the
final opening of Third Street. but the
present bill closes this street The wild
ening Of lexington Place will help the
matter somewhat but the exit will still
be inconvenient. and s and T Streets
should be opened and improved as soon
as possible The lexington Citizens As
sociation has expressed itself as inter
ested in the project and while it states
that the proposed legislation will damage
property in lexington, il only asks for
the following concessions:
Claims of lexington.
First. That the roundhouse and shops
be located east of Seventh Street This
is provided for in the plan submitted by
the railroad companies.
Second That the freight station be
kept south of Q Street, and failing that,
south of Quincy Street. The former re-
striction does not seem practicable, as the
station covers most of @ Street east of
lexington Place. The railroad plans do
not indicate at present any extension
north OF Quincy Street, but it is ex-
planned that the railroad may wish to ex-
tend over the whole space TO the south
side of r Street within short time.
THE south side OF r Street, between
Third and Second Streets, is almost en-
tirely built up with substantial houses;
the north side of P is as yet unimprOyed.
The north side of Quincy Street, on the
part opened, is built up with brick dwell
Iings; the south side is unimprOved.
Owing TO the shut-in condition of Eek
ington it would be desirable, unless the
railroad company has absolute need of
this for freight facilities in the near fu-
ture to require Quincy Street TO be kept
open and continued to lexington Place.
Third That there should be a stone
Will seven or eight feet high built be-
tween lexington and the freight yards
and tracks as far north as T Street This
is simply q question Of expense. This
fence would cost SO per foot, OF a total
of S28, 900. If the railroad extends its
freight yards to the south side OF 2 Street
such fence should undoubtedly be built
for the protection of dweIlers on the north
side of r Street

Hand Caught in Gin Belt.
Shocking Injury to Mr. Tobias at San
tee Crossing.

On Monday, Oct. 13, Mr.. A. L. To-
bias was the victim of shocking
accident. Mr.. Tobias has been un-
ming a ginnery this season at Santee
Crossing, which he rented from Mr..
D. z. Martin. On the day in ques-
ton while soaping the belt of one of
the wheels of the machinery his arm
was caught in the belt and crushed
to the elbow. DR.. W. D. Rich, who
was called to attend the injured
man, at first feared that amputation
would be necessary. As the patient
is doing as well as could be hoped
the arm will probably be saved.
Mr.. Tobias has a wife and nine
children.

Reunion of Co. g. 18th S. c. Reg't.

This regiment held it's 2nd reun-
ion at Indiantown church on Tues
day the 14th. 1t claims a member
ship of III, 27 (or mere) now liv-
ing.
There were 10 present, viz: W. s.
Eaddy, H. H. Kinder, j. J. Brown,
Henry Browder, C. A. Gaskins, Rob-
ert Nesmith, S. B. Thompson, Rob
ert Hanna, Thos. Tanner and j h
Cox, with of other companies or
regiments: Dick Parsons (E), W. G.
Snowden and Laird Lifrage of W.
The veterans were given short
march by Brown, Vet. Browder
bringing up the rear. The meeting
was presided over by Veteran W. S.
Eaddy. The roll was called by the
secretary. Hugh McCutchen gave
the address of welcome, responded
to by H. H. Kinder. ]. j. Brown
had long written address, which
was instructive and entertaining.
C. A. Gaskins was made to give
some war experiences-also Kinder,
the latter's being on the line of the
origin of the war, or the events lead
ing up oit. The South did not in
stitute slavery, but the New England
States. They sold slaves to us, then
quarreled because We had them in
slavery. The North wanted to re-
tain the South from mercenary mo-
tives, or for its money and property,
to do as it pleased with them. His
Speech. tho unwritten, was quite
lengthy and instructive, especially ly to
the present generation. War tales
and jokes were given by Brown and
Gaskins.
1t was moved and carried (having
a standing invitation) that they meet
at the same place, on the 2nd Tues
day in October, 1903.
There being no further business
the formal meeting adjourned, soon
after which dinner was announced,
the veterans being served first. The
dinner consisted of warm barbecue,
turkey, chicken, ham, rice, warm
coffee, bread, cakes, pies, etc. There
were 80 or more ladies and children
present.
Five veterans have died since No
vember %, 1901. We hope that all
now living will be alive next year,
and that all of said regiment in the
State or county will be present at
the next (and possibly the last) re-
union, as the ranks are being reduc-
ed to very small number.

KNOT WORM" AND. "WILT
FUNGUS"
A Remedy Suggested for TWO Diseases
to Which Peas are Subject.

Editor County Record
l notice that your correspondent
at Johnsonville calls attention to the
fact that fields of peas are dying
from what he calls "root rot" In
some sections of our State the pea
has for a long time been subject to
two diseases, viz: The wilt fungus,
which occurs on land continuously
planted in peas, SO that the land is
popularity described as "pea sick" }"
The second disease-what your cor.
respondent calls "root rot"-is gen.
orally known as "root knot worm" "
Both diseases usually go together.
The attack of one SO reduces the vi
tality of the plant that it is subject
to the other. We have noted both
diseases for a long time around Mo-
Meta, where my farm is situated. On
large areas we could grow no peas,
as the land got SO badly affected
they would all die until we secured
the "Iron" pea, which is thoroughly
resistent to both the wilt disease and
the root knot worm. With this va
riety l am now making Is bushels an
acre on some infected land that with
any other kind would not have made
the seed planted.
If you or any of your readers are
interested in this pea you will find a
full description of it in Farmers
Bulletin No. H." which may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Department
of Agriculture, Washington, d. c.
