Artcsian Well at School.

The impression having gotten
out that the pump water at tile
High School was contaminated
and that some of the children had
developed fever from drinking the
water, the trustees have decided
to bore an artesian we'll on the
school grounds. The pu IN D
water may be pure and the child
rem might have contracted the
disease elsewhere, but an ounce
of precaution is worth a pound of
cure and in order to be on the safe
side the trustees will invest $175
in an arteSian we'll. 1t was hoped
to have the we'll bored by the
time scohol opened but the con-
tractor who was to do the work
failed to put in an appeara nee this
week and it will probably be the
latter part of next week before the
well is bored. In the meantime the
school children will be supplied
with ice cold artesian water which
the janitor will bring each day
from Mr.. J. w. Dillon's we'll.
The trustees and teachers will do
everything in their power to pro-
tect and preserve the health of the
children and parents need nave
any fears that children entrusted
to the school authorities will be
exposed to any dangers. School
will open at 9 O'Clock Monday
morning and fresh supply Of
artesian water will kept in each
room until the school well is COM
pleted.

GIRLS SPANKED THE PREACHER.

Norwalk, was i'll bed and in pain

York World, when he should have
been conducting the Union Con-
gregational and Methodist tent
meeting in Westport, and all be-
cause some young women friends
spanked him too hard Saturday
night in celebration of his birthday.
The Rev. Mr.. Howard is able to
get up and be out this afternoon
but it will be some days before he
eats his meals elsewhere than from
the mantlepiece. -.
1t was no gentle birthday <4aps
that were administered to Nj. Ben
cdict. They were god, sound
cracks from barrel slaves. Many
of the young women admirers of
the young dirinc wished to remem-
Der him With slippers and other
-siErffar honey gifts upon his
birthday, but all in vain, for Mr..
Benedict resisted all insinuations
and questions which pertained to
the date of his birth.
BY ruse and the town records
the desired information was finally
obtained, but by this time the zeal
OF the young women took on a lit
tie rancor. They accordingly OBJ
tanned barrel slaves from the L.
Hommedieu grocery and waited in
the shade of a tree for Mr.. Bcne.
dict to pass.
The young minister had too
much respect for the sex to use
force to bring about a suspension
of the birthday remembrance, and
he was too dignified to run, so he
took it for the most part where his
mother applied it in childhood
days, but the effect was more pro-
nounccd and lasting.
Witch hazel, arnica and other
pain Killers were applied in the
hope that re might get to that
meeting Sunday. but all in vain.

Three hundred bales of cotton
were sold on the Dillon market
Saturday. The cotton was of a
good quality and the highest
price for the day was 12.52%.
There is strong crops of buyers
on this market representing the
several large exporting houses in
the south and competition between
them Saturday was so lively that
it looked at one time as if cotton
would go to Is cents per pound.
The price of seed reached a new
high level also and every bushel
that was offered was taken prom
pity at 33 cents. Thirtythree cents
for seed and 12.52H for cotton
makes bale of cotton worth S73.
90. The only other market in the
state paying 80 cents for seed,
so FAR as could be learned, was
Bennettsville. Cotton is opening
rapidly and is being sold as fast
as it can be picked, ginned and
put on the market. Out of the
62 ginneries in the upper end OF
the county only six were not in

in the past it was quite unusual
to find more than six in operation

Bound fos NE Atlantic Ocean
(From the Nashville Tennesseau

In the early history of this
country sailing ships from Europe,
laden with cargoes for the North
Atlantic coast towns, were forced
by the wind currents to come by
Charleston. There they landed,
and often stayed for months wait
ing for good weather, to cont .ue
their journey. Money was liter
ally poured into Charleston's lap
during this period. 1t was richer
than it has ever been since. Here
was the real beginning of Char
leston's if not all South Carolina's s,
wherewith to take it easy and be-
come a highly cultivated society.
Then came the steamships, driv-
ing trade to Boston and New York.
The rest is known.
New York dug canals to the
west and to the southwest, and
took trade from the territory
south of the Great Lakes, east
of the Mississippi and north of Ten
nessee, that ought to have gone
down the Mississippi to New Or
leans. This helped to make New
York the money centre of America.
The Panama Canal bids fair to
brings about a great change in the
commercial supremacy of New
York. The Southern people are
live to the possibilities the PAN
anna Canal will bring to them.
Every Southern paper that comes
to our desk reports movements on
foot to improve rivers that lead
to the Atlantic, or to the Gulf. or
to the Mississippi or some of its
tributaries. A Lakes-to-the-se
deep waterway convention is to be
held in October. when President
TAFT will go by boat from St
Louis to New Orleans. The old
project of cutting a canal across
Florida has been revived. Every
body seems to have their heads
set on getting to the South Allan
tic coast quickly from the Sou
thern interior, to facilitate ship.
mcnts to and from foreign coun-
tries. The Burlington people
evidently appreciate the impor-
tance Of the South and its coast
line in the commerce of the future.
If they are impressed, other roads
will be impressed. and the wealth
that was taken from the South
eastern section by the invention
of steamships may come back
after many years cf enriching New
York and New England.
The completionsof the Burling-
ton system as contemplated would
mean the building of more branch
lines as feeders into territory
contiguous to Nashville, and it
would mean great financial up
lift to the people of this city.
1t would help us as the sailing
ships helped Charleston, as the
steamships are helping New York.
1t would put us in touch with the
prairies of the Northwest and the
selcost of the Southeast. Trade
relations with both ends of the
line would attract many people to
the advantages of Nashville and
Tennessee, and would increase
our wealth and population.
