Surveyors Here.

Mr.. W. E. Lee and his corps OF surve-
yors reached Bolton Wednesday morning
and pitched camp preliminary to the be-
ginning Of the tinal'survey for the trolley
line between this place and GreenVille.
They are now at work locating the per-
have been made and Us soon as the pre-
sent line is finished the matter will be
settled.
The surveyors have been running lines
from Bolton to Greenwood and from Bel
ton to Abbeville. AS yet it is not known
which of these lines will be settle upon.
Both Greenwood and Abbeville are good
towns and both want the trolley. There.
will be some tall pulling done by both OF
these towns. =,
to be about mile shorter than the line
from Donalds to Greenwood. This OF
course looks like an advantage for Abbe-
but on the other hand there is said to be
very much less grading from Donaids to
Greenwood so one advantage Is offset by
corresponding disadvantage.
The present indicatins are that the troly
will parallel the Southern Railway from
Belton to Donalds, there it will either make
a turn and 60 to Due West and continue
straight on down the railroad to Green.
wood. OF course there are advantages and
corresponding disadvantages w pO0h
these routes.
Some time ago rumor was abroad that
the Southern Railway was making every
effort possible to prevent the lines being
built. This may or may not be true but
it has been officially given out that the
line viii. be built. :,
In short time We shall know when and
where the line will be run and then many
surmisers and guessers must fade away,
until then we can only believe half we see
none we hear and take all the current re-
ports with salt.
While the surveyors for the trolley line
are at work locating lines there Is also
another corps working locating pole lines
or lines for the transmission Of the South
ern Power Company's business The sur
veyors are at present working north to
Greenwood and working this way. This
company has already contracted to furnish
power for several large manufacturing en-
terprises in towns south of here and they
must build the pole line very soon In order
to fulfill their ton Times.

Death OF ]. M. Arnold.

James Marion Arnold died at his home
in this,county twelve miles south Of Abbe-
vile, Tuesday, April 26, 1910, aged eighty
years.
In 1861 he was married to Miss Sarah
Jane Bolts. For several years Mr.. Arnold
had suffered from heart trouble, but the
immediate cause of his death was conges-
tion OF the brain and paralysis, with which
he was attacked On the day before his
death.
In his young manhood he volunteered in
the service of his country and served faith
fully in the time Of war. His devotion to
duty and his genial and kindly disposition
won for him in the field and in the
struggle the love of both officers and
men, even as the same qualities Of mind
and heart attracted the love and friendship
Of those who knew him in the peaceful
walks of life.
The funeral services were held at Lower
Long Cane church, and we're conducted by
the pastor, Rev. R. F. Bradley, after which
his remains were gently laid to rest. The
pall-bearers were: G. w. Wilson, Harris
Horton, j. W. Long, j. A. Brown, Charlie
Dansby, Joe Leard. The grief-stncken
ones have the sympathy Of the entire COM
munity.

We notice In your paper today an ac-

. 1t seems funny to US that the time we
came down there and beat your team IA to

when we came down Wednesday and was
beaten 8 to 8 by tiremen, engineers and
rnerchants--aD old retired leaguers-you
made big blow about their beating US II
to 2. There must be something weak
about your team, anyway, for we have had
three games scheduled up here and they
didn't appear either time.
Hoping that you will not take this to
heart, we are.

Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
it IS also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LID of London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice Is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex.
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such iood az
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur.
ance of the non-peat eaters were
about eight times those OF the meat
eaters.
Sir lanes crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty OF it and
eat it frequently. 81
