BONDS DUE-NO MONEY.

The twenty five thousand dollars in
bonds issued by Cherokee township in
aid OF the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago railroad are due and there
has been no provision for their pay
ment.
The probability is that the Cherokee
supervisor and county board of COM
missioners are going to be put to con-
siderable trouble pretty soon, and all
because of neglect to provide for the
payment of these bonds as could cas-
lily have been done if the necessary
steps had been taken at the proper
time.

From these figures, unless 1t be kept
in mind that so many Of the old coun-
ties have been dismembered and new
counties formed, one might easily be
misled as to their growth. For in
stance, Edgefield has lost part OF her
territory to help make up two new
counties, Saluda and Greenwood. Or.
angeburg county contributed nearly all
the territory for Calhoun, and Berke-
ley surrendered a good slice of her
territory to Orangeburg. Marion coul-
ty was cut nearly half in two to form
Dillon county. However, study OF
the figures shows healthy and steady
growth all over the state, with but one
or two exceptions. 1t will be seen that
Charleston county's population Is the

There is no denying the fact that
President Diaz has done a good part
by Mexico. When he gained the as
cendancy, anarchy was supreme and
he restored peace and order. But he
seemed to have failed in not keeping
up with the progress Of the time. He
should have devoted himself to the
task of developing in his country prop
er appreciation of constitutional gov
ernment, and in giving to his people
all the liberty they showed them
selves capable of enjoying. Had he
done this, he might not have held on
to the dictatorship so long; but he
would have left a more glorious rec
ord for himself on the pages Of history.

CADETS Will
give DRILLS
At The FAIR
in DAWSON ON TOMORROW
Will Be Guests OF Terrell
County Fair

Tomorrow afternoon the cadets Of
the Third District Agricultural an(
Mechanical College will leave, one
company strong, for Dawson, where
they will take part in the exercises
| to be conducted at the Terrell county
fair. Among the attractions to be of
| lfered to the visitors to the fair will be
an exhibition drill in the various aXer-
cises and manoeuvers in which the
cadets have been excellently instruct
ed.
The invitation extended by the fair
association was Immediately accepted
Iby Superintendent Collum when it was
extended, and the company which is
to attend the fair will go with its full
complement of fifty men, so that the
exhibition drills will be very impress
sive in their mass effect. While all
the commissioned officers, including
those of the battalion, will go along
they will go only as an honorary es-
cOrt. We're it not for the crowded
condition of the streets the battalion
drill would also be shown to the Wis
itors.
The cadets will have every attention
shown them while they are in Dawson,
as they will be the guests of the fair
association. Tomorrow night they will
be entertained at a reception, which
will be tho pleasantest social feature
OF the trip. The cadets will return
to Americus on the train that arrives
over the Central at 10:40 o'clock in
the evening. While on the trip the
company will be in charge Of Captain
WoTthington and Lieutenants Causey
and Gresham.
In preparation for their appearance
in Dawson, the cadets have been put
through the full round of their drills
and manoeuvers.
Bright and early every morning re-
Gently they have been out on the drill
grounds doing extra duty in this par
ticular. The morning bugle call has
found them in line at $50 o'clock
for many mornings past. This extra
work is specially intended to make
more efficient the new students who
have had but little time to become
familiar with the drills and manoeu
yer since they entered school in the
first part of the autumn.
Superintendent Collum and several
of the teachers will accompany the ca
diets to Dawson, so that the OCCASION
will be a gala affair with the student
body at the college. The perpetua-
ton of such trips to nearby fairs
should prove a matter of great interest
nd improvement for the students, as
well as an appropriate advertise
ment for the school.

WINTRY NIP WAS
FELT YESTERDAY
Local Showers FOrGCdSted
For Today

Yesterdays weather had raw nip
about it that reminded one most for
chilly that the first real touch of au-
tumn was here. In fact, it reminded
some that it was almost winter time
and that the gray clouds might even
give a dash of snow during the day
though the temperature was. of
course, too low for that.
The cold was more penetrating than
that felt at the beginning of the recent
cold spell, for it was of the damp
and humid variety rather than of the
crisp, clear cold that was so welcome
at first. Only a very light drizzle
fell, however, prior to dusk. The in
dications arc strong for local showers
today.
