TO GET BENEFIT OF WATER
RATES
Cheraw Navigation Company to
Build Line From Landing to
this Place.

Mr. John A Fox, who was here at
the waterways meeting on Monday
and the principal speaker on that
occasion, gave some interesting in
formation in the meeting in refer
ence to a proposed tramway from
here toa landing on the Pee Dee
river. The matter came about
when Mr. II w Carroll, in the
meeting, proposed that at some flu
turc time the matter Of connect
ing Chcraw, Bcnncttsvillc, Clio,
McColl, and Gibson, with a trolley
line be agitated. Mr. Fox told of
the movement which the Chcraw
navigation had on foot.
Much encouragement has been
given by the pocoplc Of this com
munity to the boat line from Che
raw to Georgetown. The Chcraw
Navigation Company has built and
equipped admirable docks and ia
cilitics for loading and unloading.
the boats at Chcraw such as will
enable them to bring freight from
New York, Boston and Philadcl-
phia to this point lG7 miles inland
at water rates. The only thing
interfering now in the passage of
the boat is the bridge at Society
Hill but this will, in all probability,
be removed in Il short time.
The Navigation company is con
tcmplatlng the construction of II
tram road from some point near
Gardeners Bluff to BcnncttsviIlc
five miles away SO that freight can
be handled here at water rates.

CD Williams recently sold his
stock of goods to Asbury Powers,
and b d Townsend brought action
to attach the goods on account of

chant to sell his stock as n Who'll @

or else making a list of his debts
and an inventory Of his stock and
notifying all his creditors in adj
vance.
Williams was represented by j

Rockingham Power Co.

Work on the dam and lines of
the Rockingham Power company
was suspended for some time on
account of the failure of the Knick-
erbocker Trust company of New
York, which holds the bonds of
the Rockingham Power company.
Work has been commenced again.
however. Mr.. Pearson has been
here for several days surveying
for the line from here towards Pee
Dee river.
The Rockingham Anglo-Saxon
says of the work ut Blewett Falls:
We learn that there arc some
200 men at work at the falls and it
is said that orders have been given
for many others to be put back to
work. In fact, they were wanted
to go to work last Monday. This is
good news, if it is true, and we
hope it is.
On account of the severe rains
of last week the river rose to a
considerable extent, covering the
entire dam. No damage was done
to the dam SO far as we could
learn"

Sawdnst Still Burning.

The big pile Of sawdust at the
Scott Lumber Company's mill at
Marlboro is still burning and
smoking like volcano. This is
the place into which Il negro boy
fell last fall. While playing on
top of the pile, he broke through
the crust and fell into a burning
crater thirty or forty feet below.
The body Of the boy has never
been recovered. 1t was a hopeless
task to attempt to reach the bot
tom Of the burning mass where
his crcmatcd remains still lie. The
sawdust pile is very little reduced
in size although it has been burn
ing for several months.
The mill has been shut down on
account of the small demand for
lumber, and the village Of MARI
boro now seems almost deserted.

Waterways Meeting.

IHo waterways meeCinB Oh Moi
day last was successful from every
standpoint and fully came up to
the expectations of it's promoters.
Mr.. Jno. A Fox, the special rep
rescntativc of the waterways move
ment, was the speaker Of the occa-
sion and he gave some very in
~teresting facts as well rs very con-
vincing ones to the large crowd Of
representative citizens Of Marlbo.
70 county who had gathered in the
court house to hear him.
1t was exactly at moor when
President A j Matheson Of the
board of trade under whose auspi-
ces the meeting was held, called
the meeting to order and introduce
cd the Hon. j A Fox, of Arkan-
Sas.
Mr.. Fox spoke Of some Of the
most important reasons why the
waterways should be improved.
He said that one of the objects Of
the meeting was the getting of
public sentiment to that place
where congress would be compell-
cd to appropriate $50, 600, 900 each
year towards the permanent i'm
provement Of the waterways of
the country. He showed where the
government had spent on improv-
ing the waterways during the past
ten years only $40, 3OO,O 600 where
as they had spent five and six
times that much on the army, the
navy. pensions and other things.
Mr.. Fox then went on to show
how much would be saved by hay
ing the water rate. In every case
where the water rate has come in
to competition with the railroad
the latter has been compelled to
lower the rates. And Mr.. Fox
figured to show that on an appro-
priation of 500, 900, 900 for water
ways there would be saved every
year in the United States $751;.
800, 900 this being tic an,ual re-
turn Oh the Investment. This
would come through figuring the
lowering in tho freight rates at
even tho lowest reduction. He
showed where freight would cost
only IL of which it nov costs by
rail.
Facts and figures were cited in
the speech. Hc showed if the Pee
Dec was SO improved that it would
have six feet Of navigablc water
all the year round then much
would bo saved to Bcnncttsville and
the county through the water
rates. From the northern points
taking an average Of eight classes
OF goods there Woulu be saved in
freight rates Ivy means Of the
water rates Is cents per hundred
on all these eight classes which
would be S3.l6 per ton. The com
MERGE from Benncttsville he csti-
mated would be about 5000 cars,
there would be saved by means OF
the water rates 10000 tons which
in money would be about 1892 900
each year saved in Bcnncttsville
Ialonc.
The speaker spoke of the move
mcnt, how united action was need
cd in contrast to the present work,
and said that in prosecution this
work South Carolina had pledged
herself to raise So, 800 and Of this
amount Bennettsyille was asked to
give 5000. The membership fee
was So and this would entitle the
joiner to a membership card from
the national secretary.
Upon motion it was decided that
the President should appoint a
committee to solicit members and
fees and the following compose the

 May Amount to $500,000. 7.

Pittsburg, May 4.-The loss occasion ed by the robbing of the Adams Ex- press company car on the Panhandle railroad instead of being $500, as has been stoutly maintained by officials of the company, is now rumored to be close to $500O00 The robbery is said by Pittsburg detectives to be one of the biggest ever committed in the Unit ed States
 Men and boys searching in the VI cinity of the scene of the holdup, at Walkers Hill, found number of gold pieces and a quantity of gold leaf. Hundreds of men and boys searched the neighborhood for the plumber which many people believe has been cached" by the burglars. No big find was re- ported
 More private detectives arrived here, and the county is overrun with them. No arrest of importance has been made. Four men taken into custody on sus- picion were released The detective agency announced it is working on i'm portant clews and expected to make arrests shortly.
 Officials of the express company have abandoned their efforts to minimize the extent of the robbery. c. H. Miner, agent of the company in Pittsburg, ad- mitted that it was big one
