A party Of four took a trip OF
nearly ITS miles on gasoline boat
last week. The boat belonged to
Capt. Savage, Of Walterboro. Went
from Capt. Savage's rice plantation
on Cheraw river to its mouth and
then entered the mouth of Ashepoo
river and landed at Ivanhoe club
house. We enjoyed the trip, and the
oysters and fish were very good.
One can't imagine the amount OF
work that was done on the rice plan
tations down the country. Very few
of the fields are under cultivation
this year, and some of them are pre-
pared for cotton and corn, instead of
rice.

BARNWELL, OBJECTIVE POINT.
Many Desire Ehrhardt Road Extend
ed to that Town.

Ehrhardt, April 4.-Inside 1nfor-
nation from two different sources,
which for certain reasons it would be
improper to give now, warrant the
idea that the sentiment of certain in
fluential men, who at first avoided
the extension of the Atlantic Coast
Line from this point to Denmark,
has suffered upheaval, and now
Barnwell seems to be the objective
point of extension with them.
Those favoring Barnwel against
Denmark at this point Of junction
argue that the former is the larger
place and that extension of the road
to that point would further reduce
the distance between Ehrhardt ana
Augusta, which, in the main, Is the
object being striven for. They fur
ther argue that the extension to
Barnwell would make the distance
one hundred and fifty miles from Au-
gusta to Charleston, or only twelve
miles further than by the Southern
Road, between the two points, and
practically the same distance by the
way Of Yemassee. They further
argue that while the Coast Line peo-
pie might consider favorably the ex-
tension to Bamberg; that Barnweu
is the favorable place of junction
and would give Ehrhardt two routes
to Columbia instead of one from
Denmark.
OF course, considerable further
argument is being made in favor OF
the Barnwell extension by the newly
converted advocates, but the above
is sufficient to show which way the
wind blows.
Then the press dispatches state
that parties in Columbia and Au-
gusta backed by 100000 capital will
apply for charter very soon ana
will build a steam road from Ehr-
hardt to Bamberg or Denmark, and
80 forth and so on. M
Whatever may be the outgrowth
of all that is being done and said
now in the matter of extending the
road from here, there Is one thing.
certain, varied interests have de-
yeloped so suddenly as to show that
latent powers are at work; that the
extension of the road will be reality
indeed, the only uncertainty being,
| so far, where the junction will b
made.
The people here, with few excep-I
tions, at present favor extending The
road to Denmark, and Barnweu .

link between this and any other
point.

A GOOD RAILROAD MEETING
GATHERING IN
TOWN HALL TUESDAY.
Several Citizens Of Orangeburg Pres.
ent-Comnittee Appointed for
Various Lines of Work.

Last week the editor of The Herald
received a letter from Mr.. w. c.
Wolfe, of Orangeburg, in regard to
the proposed railroad extension from
Ehrhardt to Bamberg, in which he
stated that the citizens of that city
stood ready to assist the project In
any way possible, their idea being
that a road which would tap the
Atlantic Coast Line would be Of bene-
fit to OraRgeburg, in that it would
give them a direct route to Beaufort
and Savannah. The result OF the
correspondence was that a meeting
was arranged for Tuesday afternoon,
at Bamberg for the purpose OF TAX
ing up the matter by the citizens OF
both towns.
The meeting was attended by a
good number of business men OF
Bamberg, and there was much en-
thusiasm manifested. Messrs. w. c..
Wolfe, M. o. Dantzler, Jas. L. Sims,
and J. P. Matheny, were present rep
resenting the Orangeburg citizens and
the chamber Of commerce of that
city.
Mr.. W. C. Wolfe was made chair
man of the meeting, with E. H. Hen
derson, Esq, as secretary. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was stated by
Senator J. B. Black, and J. Aldrich
Wyman, Esq, gave short history
of the railroad movement here two
years ago.
Mr.. Wolfe also discussed the situ-
alton, as did also Col. Dantzler and
Mr.. J. L. Sims.
It was the opinion Of all present
that Bamberg needed another rail-
road, and the gentlemen from
Orangeburg assured the meeting that
their town was ready to assist us II
possible in obtaining road from
Ehrhardt to Bamberg, thence to
Denmark or some other point on the
Atlantic Coast Line.
The discussion was largely infor-
NAL, and was participated in by H.
M. Graham, Esq, Senator ]. B.
Black, J. A. Byrd, w. D. Rhoad, A.
w. Knight, G. Frank Bamberg, and
others, and the matter Of ways and
means, benefits to be derived, rights
of way, survey, ETC., were all touched
on. Finally on motion Of Mr.. ]. A.
Byrd, a committee of FIVE was ap-
pointed to confer with the citizens
of Walterboro and Ehrhardt and at
tempt to enlist their cooperation to-
ward the building of the road. This
committee is: Senator J. B. Black,
c. R. Brabham, Sr., J. A. Byrd, Col.
Jno. F. Folk, and w. D. Rhoad.
A committee to confer with the
Atlantic Coast Line was also appoint
! ed, and this committee consists OF
G. Frank Bamberg, J. Aldrich Wy
man, and A. w. knight.
The meeting then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the chairman OF
the Coast Line committee, after be-
ing in session about two hours.
The meeting was most harmonious
throughout, and the citizens Of Bam-
berg were especially pleased at the
presence of the Orangeburg gentle
men, and their aid and cooperation
in the matter was gladly welcomed.
The meeting thanked them for their
presence and assistance. There
seemed to be an air Of business about
the meeting, and Bamberg folks seem
to realize that II they get another
railroad, that it will take money and
work, and unless we are badly mis-
taken in the temper Of our people,
the road will be built If it is in their
power to bring about the desired re-

News from Govan.

Govan, April 4.-The poet says:
Laugh and the world laughs with
you; weep and you weep alone" How
true. Save that we exclude those
dearest to us, the philosophy is true.
Poets are great philosophers. l
mean those who are truly inspired
Of the infinite to write, those more In
harmony with the infinite, those not
fettered by the frivolities of this
World-whose lines we very seldom
have the pleasure Of enjoying, save
It be those sufficiently interested to
invest their money in good poetry.
Some OF the less inspired poets are
living to-day, but the great poets
are all dead, but yet they Give i'm
mortal as the day."
Oh what a boundless gift-what
an inheritance we have at this age,
the product of the master minds OF
past ages at our disposal! To you,
reader-are you making use Of this
God given privilege? Are you being
inspired by the master minds, or are
you tugging along, decoyed into the
belief that happiness will come to
you without any effort on your part?
Such is poor faith. Really many
people don't know what faith Is.
Get in line by reading new thought.
Those present at the lecture by
Rev. E. A. Wilkes on 'The Stump
Sucker and How to Cure Him." ex-
pressed that they were highly pleased
With the lecture, although they are
still uniformed how to cure "him!"
We hope to have Brother Wilkes
with US again in a like capacity.
: The new Georges Creek church
was dedicated Sunday morning with
very interesting ceremonies. DR..
Derieux, of Greenville, preached an
excellent sermon, using an appropri-
ate text for the occasion. He Is cor
responding secretary for the South
= Carolina Baptist State Mission
Board, and it was quite an inspira-
ton to have this very prominent man
with us.
A very interesting history of the
church was given by Brother Mont
gomery Eaves. Perhaps it will be OF
interest to reiterate. The first effort
to establish a church originated in
the home of Mrs. Eliza Odom, the
idea being suggested by Rev. William
Bfooker, Baptist minister who had
occasion to- visit that home. He
was instrumental in the undertaking.
The effort was pushed with great
zeal, until the church was established.
This was in 1875. Services were at
first held under a large harbor, until
the old building was erected the
following year. The plot OF :, land
contains one or two acres, and was

Kearse Happenings.

Kearse, April 4.-On last Wednes7
day morning, March goth, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. j. Kearse gave in marriage
their daughter, Ethel, to Mr.. Monroe
Williams, of Bayard, Fla, Rev. E. A.
Wilkes being the officiating minister.
The marriage was a quiet home at.
rair, with only few of the girl
friends of the bride and the immedi-
ate family being present.
The bride wore beautiful travel
ing suit Of the new Partisan style of
make and color. -
The march was played by Misses
Meldred and Ettie Kearse-the violin
by the former, and the piano by the
latter.
Immediately after the ceremony
a delightful repast of salads, meats,
fruits and sweets was served in a
most tempting manner.
The table was beautifully decor
ated with carnations and lilacs. The
parlor was also decorated with car
nations, lilacs, Easter roses and pot
plants.
AS soon as the refreshments were
served, the happy couple went in an
automobile to Olar and boarded the
train for Atlanta and other points
they will visit before going to their
future home at Bayard, Fla.
How we regret the loss Of our
most attractive girl, one who Is loved
by all who know her! To know her
was to love her, and we feel that we
have lost in her departure, while
another plant has been transplanted
in "the land of flowers" to bloom for
aye.
Mr.. Williams is q man Of great
business qualities and intellect, re-
served in his habits, and general
good nature excelled by few.
May the future home Of the happy
young couple in the land Of flowers
always be in bloom with roses minus
thorns.

ness of Mr.. G. B. Kearse. He has
