tank is kept loaded with water and
soda and the vitriol may be thrown

TO DRIVE THE GOLDEN SPIKE
White River tracks to be Joined in a
Month.

lis stated on seemingly good author
ity that the last rail laid, and the last
SPIKE driven completing the great
| White River route will be put down
south OF the Omaha tunnel in some.
thing near one month from this date,
earlier with favorable weather.
All bridges and trestles from the
present north end to the Omaha tunnel,
with one exception, the Turkey creek
bridges, are now complete and ready
for the steel, and Mr.. Upton who is
building it, expects to finish that
bridge this week and not later than
the middle of next week. AS soon as
that bridge is in, the track will be
pushed in the direction of Cotter and
and will be laid to and through the
tunnel to the first bridge south by the
18th, leaving the approaching ends of
the track about one mile apart, each
end being at the unfinished bridges
now going in.
Six cars OF steel which had been
stored ut the front for use on this last
bit Of track, were reloaded and brought
down the line Tuesday on the way
around to the north end and after
travelling over l,2O0 miles will be laid
almost within sight of the starting
point.
Contractor Ben Reynolds announces
that he will complete both the bridges
south of the tunnel by the last OF the
month, provided conditions are favor.
able, and this means that the connec.
tion cannot be made much earlier than
December 10. After the connection
has been made it will take some time !
to put the track in condition for traffic.
There will be over % miles to ballast
and surface, cuts and tunnels to scale
and much other work to be done.

Why Should ye Give Thsnkse

Time on its rapid swing has again
brought our national Thanksgiving
Day, and the present month will close
Its career in thanksgiving and praise to
Zone who doeth all things WE'LL" The
most unfortunate of US can find much
to be thankful for if we make an honest
endeavor. While in Russia men, wo-
men and innocent children are brutally
murdered upon the streets and in their
own homes, We are at peace with each
other and the world and can worship
God according to the dictates of our
own conscience, with none TO molest us
or make us afraid. Our lot has been
cast IN one OF the best communities ON
the globe, among big-hearted, gen.
erous people, among school and church
advantages. Let us all on Thanksgiv-
ing Day show our gratitude for the
oounties of Providence, which have
never failed and which grow richer as
time passes on. The year just gone has
been one which stirs the profoundest
depths OF Christian patriotism. 1t has
been year of wonderful growth and
uneXampled prosperity and health, con-
tent and happiness. 1t has been year
in which farms have beer fruitful, bus.
lness profitable and in which labor in
Ill forms has been employed and gen.
erously rewarded. 1t is difficult to con.
'elve conditions more gratifying than
hose which surround the citizens OF

THANKS GIVING DAY.


HE white moon peeps through my window.blnd
AS I'm sitting alone tonight,
Thinking of days I've left behind
In the years that have taken flight.
My heart is full of nameless thrill
That my life has been 50 sweet
And faln would hurry to lions hill
And bow at the Gver's feet
The year just going has brought me boon
AS rich as the years gone by;
lhe skies We're clear the harvest moon
When then the golden crops were dry:
The grain was garnered abundanly then.
For the wintry days ahead,
And thank the Giver of good to men
For supplies of daily bread.
No fell disease with ghastly shrouds
Has come in grim disguise;
No war has spread its baleful clouds
Athwart my azure skies,
But the dove of peace-the whte.wnged dove
has built in my rooftree
And the breezes have foated the banner of love
Ger all my land and sea.
So now sing as best | can
My glad Thanksgiving song
TO Him who holds my hand
And leads me safe along;
am not worthy His smallest gift,
But He giveth large and free
And so song of praise lift,
For His goodness unto me-

two each way, to accommodate ll:s
freight and passenger business.
But, how does this affect several
towns in middle-eastern Carolina?
may we'll be asked. Very we'll, We will
try and answer this question-just
now it pours the trade Of this rich
Black River, Pudding Swamp and
Lynch's river country into Mannins-
the lively capital of Clarendon coun-
ty, where heretofore Sumter, Mayes-
vile, Magnolia, Tinamonsville, Flor
ence, Lake City and Kingstree had an
equal showing with Manning. Of
course, Sumter via Alcolu, might get
some of the business, but she will
have to hustle for it..
Further, the charter now permits
only about three miles more extension
to Lynch's river, and to that point the
road will be built in the near future.
Is that the end Of it? If so you have
made much-a-do Of nothing, some
one will say. But that is not the end
of it, if the far-seeing business men Of
Florence, Timmonsville, Hartsville,
Lydia and Sumter will investigate the
possibilities Of an extension.
The road is the property Of the D.
w. Alderman Company, built and
paid for with sufficient money to COM
plete It to the charter limit, and put
uc nifty or hundred thousand dollars
more for an extension under a new
charter, if the business men Of the
places named will do their share, and
the road can be built and operated
without ever issuing bond.
From, its present terminus to Flor
ence is % miles. Does Florence want
it or need it in her business? It is for
her to, say.
From its present terminus to Nc
Bee on the Seaboard via Tinmons-
vile, Lydia and Hartsville is so miles.
Do these places want ii? It is for then.
to say.
From Gamble.to Sumter via Good
will is Is miles, or from Beulah via
Shiloh and Goodwill to Sumter is %
miles. Does Sumter and the interven-
ing territory want it? It is for them
to say.
The present road traverses a fine
farming country along its entire 25
miles; every one of these extensions
mentioned above would run right
through the heart of some Of the best
lands Of South Carolina. Put-tF1ese
fine farming lands in touch with the
outer world, bysa seaboard connection s
at McBee, and the development will
be phenomenal And Manning and
Sumter and Timmonsville VIII double
il, population inside Of ten years.
Gentlemen, what are you going 20 do
about it? The Alderman compan,
are the pioneers; they had to conbal
prejudice and fought for every inch
of their road, and today there are men
who fought most strenuously to keeI
them at distance who would give
more to have the line run through, or
=by their places. for it isHno longer
logging road. but railroad that. will
in the near future be one Of the most
valuable pieces of railroad property in
