GREELYvILLE, October 3:-The
continuous stream Of incoming wag-

hum of gins gives things an appear
ance of business activity and liveii-
ness. Cotton ginneries here are run
ming t, their full capacity and can't
keep up with the cotton.
The weather continues very dry
and has been so hot that cotton has
opened more rapidly than usual.
When the rush is over it may be
found that the crop is lighter than
was anti, ipated.
Our town still has the building
fever. Mr. w L Taylor is putting
mp a store on Main street in front of

is being put on the ground for the
erection of a two-story brick build

story for a hall for the W. 0. W.
Mr. F Mishoe, our very popular post
master, is putting up this building.

pary will soon build a house for Sec

built near the railroad in the eastern
edge of town.
Some of the material is on hand

This is a much needed improvement,
but the authorities are slow about
getting to work at it.

ALL ABOUT HARPERS.
INTERESTING WRITE-UP OF A
GROWING TOWN.

Industries of Which It Is the Centre
Prospects of Future Growth Some Of
the Men Who Have Bnilt up theTown.
HARPERs, October 4:-Since W
S Camlin's accident "a runaway and
broken leg) his varied interests
have betn and are being managed by
L A Rogerson, who is handling the
business like veteran, although it
was new to him. The Camlin trade
is far from small, as it includes a
general store, cot on gin and saw
mill, a big cordwood business, and
a 40 acre farm, and Mr. Rogerson's
manner Of management shows he has
a bright future before him. Mr.
Camin's recovery ID slow and he suf-
fers greatly.
Harpers, on the line of George
town and Williamsburg counties,
is in a region which is sus
ceptible of being made as fine
an agricultural country as
there is in the Palmetto State. By
canaling from the head of the Sam
pit river to beyond Lanes junction
.the land would be effectually drained,
and when immigration was desired
supply ceuld be had. For general
farming and vegetable growing,
Harpers could be made garden
spot and rival or excel Lake City in
small plants.
Improvements will certainly be
made but to hurry the development
of the. country is individual and COL
lective duty.
Harpers and surroundings have
been particularly free from fevers,
and the children and the old folks
are as rosy as Edenic fruit.
The A G Lumber Corporation has
big logging camps about 3 miles
from here, but they don't cut less
than 10 inches, and there is timber
for many years to come.
Harpers has spiritene plants and
wants a wood pulp mill and a knit
ting mill--in connection with the
latter-the cotton acreage has in
creased 100 per cent in the last ten
years and the village is growing
steadily. 1t now has five general
stores and a few shops-two churches
M E ard Baptist. and a good school
s months 10 the year; also Masonic
lodge, and a coterie of cottages and
happy and unpretentious people.
The sto-,s handle from 100000 to
100000 pounds of merchandise per
month, and now a beer privilege is
being asked for and evidently has
the wish Of big majority.
Harpers is 1S miles north of
Georgetown by rail, and is promised
new railway station, which is
greatly needed for public comfort as
we'll as for better freight facilities.
M D Ogburn, the railway agent, is
able and painstaking-has been here
six month. and has the good will of
all the folk and he would certainly
grace bett 'r looking depot.
MrJ H Hudson the senior mer-
chant here is for the advancement
of not only this region but the en-
tire State. He was born in Berke.
ley county and entered the turpen
tine business at Greelyville. For
II years he livet. in the famous Pee
Dee region, and located at Harpe~s
in 1891, and since then haslhad his
greatest success. He is still in the
turpentine and rosin business-owns
u store-$4,0OO stock-bas 2,400
acres of land in Georgetown and Will
liamsburg counties, and is a thor.
ough business man and the best au.
thority as to the advantages of this
section.
