CHATEAU DOE AND COLONEL LoR1Na.
MI. Vernon's house in New Orleans,
a perhaps, the most ~pretentious
residence place in the city. Built OF
gray brick, it stood we'll back from the
street, in the midst of old trees. Its
broad verandas and .hipped dor.
mer-windows, showing but duskily
forth through the foliage, which OIL
most hid the balconies and oriels be-
tween, were solid and heavy. The
whole structure was massive and
solemn-looking, giving the general
impression of e1clusiveness and lofty
loneliness.
The grounds were large and every
where showed that neither money nor
care had been grudgingly spent to add
beauty and comfort to the place.
From base to roof, the house sug-
gested in every angle and curve the
wealth, pride and taste OF its owner;
but it also suggested more; the pecu-
liar civilization grown out of the old
Louisiana colonial life and out OF the
strange vicissitudes and exigencies OF
the development OF New Orleans spoke
through the architecture and sur
roundings, There we're flowers every
where, especially roses and c%actuses,
making the dusky air flash with colors
blended perfumes coming and going
with the wind-puises and all around
and above the soft, satin rustle oil
leaves.
Mr.. Vernon had named his place
Chateau dor. He liked the name.
he said, because q vessel that brought
him good luck had borne it; but he
never told what the good luck was or
what had become OF the vessel. 1t
seemed t. delight him no little when
he was able to excite curiosity on th''
suh.ecs, o1iy to leave il altogether ua'

Accident at Greenwood.

Greenwood, Specialize two rear
cars, the Pullman sleeper and the cafe
car. Of the southbound vestibuled
train on the Seaboard Air Line were
wrecked here about loon Sunday. The
two cars left the track at the grade
crossing on Church street and were
carried forward about so yards. The
track was entirely torn up and the two
cars finally thrown into the side Of the
cmbankment, stopping the rest OF The
train. There were four persons in the
Pullman besides three children. APP
parently all the injuries are external
and not serious with possibly n ex-
eeption. None of those injured re-
NAMED except Mrs. J. Saul Of 172
South Pryor street, Atlanta. She was
leaning against the window when the
coach was thrown over and she re-
ceived several we're cuts on her face
from broken glass. One severe cash
on her forehead may result In a scar
that will disfgure her. DR.. R. B. Ep-
ting. the resident surgeon for the Sea-
hoard. stated at 4 o'clock that the ex-
ternal injuries were not serious and
that no symptoms Of internal injuries
had as yet appeared.

For Good Roads.

Newberry, Specialize Good Roads
association Of Newberry courty held a
meeting in the court house here last
week. The speakers present were: Sen
ator A. C. Latimer and Congressman
D Wyatt Aiken. President Hyatt OF the
State Good Roads association was not
able to be here on account OF sickness.
There was a very large attendance for
a meeting of this kind and showed the
great interest the people OF the county
are taking in the permanent improve
ment Of their roads. Senator Latimer
took a rising vote on whether those
present were in favor of taxing prop
erty for this purpose and there was not
a man to rise against 1t. All stood up
/. favor Of taxation with the exception
o. three or four and they did not vote
either way. Both Senator Latlmer and
Congressman Aiken were received with
applause and made excellent addresses.
Senator Latimer vas OF the opinion
that the people should 60 ahead and
vote taxation II they wanted the good
roads and get national aid II possible.
He outlined his plan Of government
aid. Senator Latimer spoke for about
al hour and his address was filed with
good sound logical reasoning. Congress
man Aiken followed Senator Latimer
IL a very practical speech, which was
very literally applauded. The reports
were then received from the township
organizations and seven out OF b
eleven townships had organized. There
were meetings appointed to be held In
each township and speakers appointed
to make addresses. The question OF
good roads is being literally discussed
throughout the county and a healthy
sentiment is being aroused in favor OF
pushing this matter until every o
ir the county will be in frst-class con-
dition.

Review for the Past Week BY the
Department.

department.
The week ending s a. M, Monday,
July 18th, had a mean temperature OF
30 degrees, which is practically nor
NAL. The heat was not excessive at
eny time, nor was there a wide dai.y
range between the day and the night
temperatures. These conditions were
favorable on crops, but there was a
deficiency in sunshine over the eastern
and central parts that was harmful to
a slight extent.
Locally there was excessive precipi-
tation in Edgefeld, Marion, Marlboro
and Saluda counties, and almost daily
excessive rains from the Savannah
valley, in Barnwell and Hampton,
northward to southern Clarendon and
Williamsburg counties, and in western
Sumter. In this part Of the State the
rainfall amounted to from 3 to over s
inches. This area includes the region
Of heaviest rainfall during June, when
it amounted to from 70 to IL inches.
The rains in other parts were benef-
cial, ard some places in the northern
parts, are in need of more rain. The
weeks average for the State was 2.09
inches.
The weeks weather vas favorable
for crop growth and development, with
the above exception, and for teamwork,
cultivation having made considerable
progress. especially in the western
counties.
With the exception Of a number Of
localities that report the contrary, old
corn is a fair crop and is about laid
by in clean condition. Much corn was
destroyed On low lands where the
rains were excessive. Young corn has
a good color and looks promising.
There was a general improvement in
cotton. though some sections failed to
share in it. and but reports from most
sections indicate that the plants are
making rapid growth. too rapid for
proper fruitage in the Pee Dee coun-
ties. though they arc still small and
late in blooming. Blooms are moe
common than last week. Lice remain
on very young cotton. in spots, but
they no longer threaten injury. In the
western counties most fields are clean,
but grassy fields is the prevailing con-
dition in the eastern ones. Cotton is
poorest, and yellow. or sandy lands.
but most of 1t has a healthy color, es-
pecially sea-island cotton.
Tobacco curing continues. and the
crop as a whole. has improved. Melon
shipments are not heavy. as the crop
is light as vet. Planting fall truck
crops Is underway. Minor crops con.
tinue to thrive. Peaches still rotting.
Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pastures
are excellent. Farm laborers are
scarce. in many parts Of the State.

err of these boys, was the first PreSby-
tcrian preacher born in the State. He
was in charge of the first theological
seminary and president Of Oglethorpe
University. The old doctor was a very
learned and a very stern old man. He
was orthodox to the core. l remember
that when I was a young man | went
with my father to Columbus, Ga, to
attend synod, for my father was an
elder. a school teacher from our town
whose name was Gray, a smart but
very willful Irishman, from DubliG,
was examined for license to preach.
He stood a very satisfactory examina-
ton and had a favorable report from
the committee. The old doctor leaned
forward and said: Brother Gray, ],
will ask you n more question. Do
you fell called upon in oyur heart to
preach the gospel to save sinners?"
YES" said Gray, " if they pay me
for it."
Brother Gray" said the doctor
sternly. the question OF pay Is no
part of this examination nor Of your
qualifications. You are excused, sir"
And so Brother Gray went back to
Lawrenceville and studied law.
