A Hunting Story,

An old backwoodsman that Abra-

heavy, over-hanging eyebrows. and
wore big spectacles with brass rims.
One day he came rushing into his
cabin and seizing his rifle. aimed 1t

SALUDA SOON Is TO. TAKE >1.:

Trains VIII be Delivering Freight
There in Few Days Grading Al

Saluda, Sept. 2.-The Independent
Construction company, which has the
contract for building the railroad from
Wards to Saluda, is now on the last
stretch of grading: The camp has been
moved to the southern edge of town.
There is not over six miles of grading
yet to be done. The steel bridge and
trestle over Mine creek, four miles
from Saluda, is about completed. The
track laying is completed to that point
and trains are running as far as the
track is completed.
In another week the long and rath->
er hard cut in the rear of Attaway's
will be finished and the laying OF
rails to within mil Of Saluda and
the running of trans will be matter
of a very short time. -
Freight in car lots is now being
delivered over the new road at Bells,
proposed station four miles from
Saluda, For the past ten days great
quantities of cement, lime and other
building material has been received
at Bells. All of this material is to be.
used in the construction of business
houses here. H.. - =
It is the purpose of the owners of
the road to put in siding one mile
south of Saluda in few days, where
freight can be delivered or received
for shipment until the line is complet-
ed into town. It is understood that
Supervisor Padgett will at once put
the road from here to the proposed
siding in frst-class condition. II this
is done there is no reason why Salada
should not at once take her place on
the map. as a railroad town in the
State, and have cotton market from
the very beginning of this cotton sea-
son.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, it is understood, will run line
into Saluda in a few days and estab-'
lish an Office here.

Newspaper Writer.
There is no business in the world
.1ere the hours are so long, the work
so exacting, the discipline so rigid and
the sense Of responsibility greater. It
isn't like that of professional man
who does his work and quits. The
newspaper man not only has to do
his work, but he lugs it around with
him, always haunted by the thought
that the man on the other paper may
have put it over him.
Any man who has the constitution
of a horse, the capacity for work OF
a steam shovel, the ability to put his
thoughts down on paper in consecu-

to observe what he sees, to put two

Plans Are Perfected.
mhia State. Sept. 2.

Columbia State, Sept. 2.
Plans for the second South Atlantic
States Corn exposition, to be held in
Columbia commencing on December
II, have been perfected by the State
commission charged with the affairs
Of the show.
The commission was in session yes
terday when the prize list was COM
pleted. At least $4,000 will be given
in prizes for the best corn to be
shown at the exposition. The State
commission will work to make this
exposition to be held in the South a
success as it will forerun the great
National Corn show to be held here in
Jar uary, 1913.
At the last session Of the general as
sembly $4,000 was appropriated FRO
vided an additional $4,000 be raised by
the commission. This amount has been
secured and was so announced by A.
D. Hudson, the president of the eX-
position, at the meeting of the COM
mission
The corn exposition last year was
the first to be held in the South. 1t
was a success from every standpoint
and there were several hundr.d ex-
hibits. It is hoped to have several
thousand exhibits at the exposition
this Year.
While no definite announcement has
been made it is expected that the large
steel auditorium, seating $4,000 per-
sons, which is to be erected at the
State fair grounds, will be used tor
the second corn show.
