and Heard ia That Thriving Town.
@ ST. Charles. S. c.. May 4.-Church
folks know st. Charles IN a kind of
Sway-as it is the getting off and On,
place when they're doips'' at the
lit. Ziou Presbyterian Church. 7a
mile out, and the Rock Church No.
E. three miles away. Drummers
know it as having three OF the nsatest
country stores in the State-and cot
ton men know it for It's thousands OF
bales Of the White King, and the
railway company knows it. because
they. take car loads of cotton there
from, and lumber, but they know 1T
better by the long llnes OF long cared
mules hauling cotton to Sumter, like
the march of an army train. That
hurts and although st. Charles has
many passengers going, and coming
there is no railroad ticket Office.
The railway station. with good agent
is open for freight and telegraph or
Telephone business, however.
ST. Charles raises strawberries, hne
ID Quality, but not great N quantity
as yet, but it is emphatically a
buekleberry town, and every season
hundreds Of crates are shipped. so
that an sndearing phrase is "she is.
my Huckleberry.'
