THE NEWS OF PROSPERITY.
Making Good Streets-Reunion of
Company G.-Geors and Plenty
Old Corn-Personal.

WAS your correspondent 5 good Tor
tune to find himself about ~ o'clock
at Mr. w. ID. Bundrick s, whose hos
pitality was duly enjoyed.
Mr.. Bundrick showed your cotres-
pondent a bride and pair Of gehrs
that lie made 2S years ago. They are
i'll good condition yet, and bid fair to
last FOR many more years. He has a
collar that he bought at the same
time that he is still using, blowing
and wagoning with it almost daily.
Mr.. Bundrick has Il crib of old corn
that makes ones mouth water to look
at it, especially if he is buying corn
at 90 cents Il bushel. There are quite
Il number Of good farmers in that sec
tion and we hope to get back in that
community in the sweet by and by.
We think that in the way distant
past we heard, or thought we heard,
that South Carolina had state geo.
logist. Can you tell us, Mr.. Editor
and member of the legislature, what
has become Of him, and what he is do
ing. AS he is paid from the public
funds the public ought to hear from
him once in awhile at least.
While in Columbia last week we
heard it stated several times that the
much exploited Public Service Cor
poration was none other than the
Southern Railway and that they We're
getting these franchises to shut out
any other company that might mean
business. They would shut ont or
cut off trolley competition. Towns
should look closely into the privileges
they vote away. We heard this and
more too. We pass the above on for
what it is worth.
Our city fathers are having tho
streets put in good condition putting
terra Gotta where needed and repair
ing the sidewalks generally. Your cor
respondent hopes to give in the near
future financial statement Of the
improvements for the past year.

interesting" meetings ever held as the
