AT WORK ON BALLARD'S HILL.
Doing Work of Much Benefit tn
Road and Hauling Made Easier
Road Widened.

Supervisor Pitts reports that ne has
been able this week during the
cessation OF the rain to continue his
work to some extent on Ballard's 3
Hill, With day and a half or
two more days Of work the grading
of the hill Will be completed and a
sand-clay road will be built on top of
the soil which has been reached in
the grading.
Mr.. Pitts has opened up and
widened the road all the way from
Dalzell to Ballard's Hill to a width Of
twenty-five feet. and whereas 1t was
wide enough for only one track for
merly 1t is now sufficiently wide for
two tracks. The job on Ballard's Hill,
Mr.. Pitts states. was not as large an
undertaking as one would imagine.
The road will be materially benefited
by the grading of the hill and hauling
will be made much easier at this
point.

DAWES CASE DRAWING no CLOSE
From the Daily Item, April /.

With the adjournment of court
this afternoon it is probable that the
Dawes case which has been going on
In the court of common pleas for the
past four days will come to a close
The arguments in the case had COM
menced today when the court ad-
jrourned for dinner and were contin-
ued this afternoon.
Only one argument was made by
the attorneys for the plaintiff, while
three are to be made for the defend
ant. Mr.. Reynolds who has been in
charge Of the case for the railroad
up to Saturday was taken sick and
was obliged to be absent for some
time. Mr.. r. o. Purdy. however.
continued the case and Mr.. p. A. Will
cox of Florence came over Saturday
afternoon to assist. Monday Messrs.
l.. w. McLemore. p. A. Wilcox and
K. o. Purdy were all present on be-
half Of the plaintiff, while the Messrs.
Jennings, Clifton and Epps still rep
resented the defendant.
The suit is one brought ~ the
railroad to recover possession Of a
strip fourteen feet wide from Mrs.
Dawes, OF property opposite the pres
ent passenger station. The case was
commenced last Wednesday and With
| today will have lasted five days in
all. AS one OF the county officers rut
1t, 1T would have been cheaper for
the county to have bought the land
and given it to the railroad at the
start. However, as the decision as
to ownership Of this strip of land will
mean further lawsuits, on all Of the
other land along Mary street and the
entire strip comprising Mary street. If
the decision is in favor of the rail
road. Regarding the matter from
| this viewpoint much interest is taken
In the case by people in the city, es-
pecially persons holding property
| along the southern tracks Of the rail
road company. and for this reason the
verdict of the jury is awaited with
considerable interest.
The issue in the case seems to be
| as to where the original track was
| situated, some Of the witnesses stating
that 1t. was at one place farther north
and other witnesses claiming it was
| farther south.
When court adjourned for dinner
Mr.. Purdy had just commenced the
argument Of the law in the case to
the court.

DISINFECT MANHOLEs AND

Property Owners Can Help I'm Work
OF Destroying Mosquitoes.

Health officer Darr was engaged
Saturday In going around to all of
the man holes and sand traps in the
city pouring in quantities OF disin-
fectant and oil In order to kill the
germs from which mosquitoes are
bred. Plenty of the disinfectants was
used and II is probable that Sum-
ter will not be troubled by a great
many Of the mosquitoes this season
II this precautionary measure Is kept
up. as Mr.. Darr expects to keep II
up every two weeks or whenever II
Is needed.
The property owners can also do
a great deal towards preventing mos
quitoes from breeding by keeping all
old tin cans in their yards free of
water and by frequent use Of kerosene
oil, disinfectants and lime in low or
wet places on their premises. The
civic League expects to have "clean-
up day" the latter part OF this week
and IL Is good Idea for persons to
carry the measure even further and
nave every day cleanup day on
their premises. In this way much in
convenience from mosquitoes and
iiies. and the sickness which they
spread. may be prevented.

A FINAL WARNING.
j. q. Anderson OF Rock Hill Makes n
Plea to Farmers for deduction.

To The Cotton Growers Of the South:
feel 1t proper and advisable in me
as the one who should be best in
formed as to probable results to be
expected under the Rock Hill Plan"
movement for reduction of cotton
acreage. to sound final warning to
everyone who has signed the Rock
Hill Plan" pledge to adhere strictly
to it not only as a matter Of person.
al honor, but for the sake Of his own
direct gain and protection.
With equal emphasis l would urge
all, in their own interest, who have
not been reached by Rock Hill plan
canvassers. or who have declined to
sign the pledge. to cut the acreage
and cut it deep. My opinion Of the
judgment Of the man who will in
crease his acreage this year is not
flattering.
Planting time is about on through
out the belt, and the Rock Hill plan
work Is being closed up in the sever
al States. with an unusually late
spring prevailing generally over the
belt. The movement of fertilizer has
gotten a tardy start, but has put on
a mighty gait recently.
Those who look to a late spring,
the noise OF fertilizer reduction, or
to the other fellow doing the re-
ducing-to any combination of these
to protect them against low prices
are apt to be the ones to suffer.
The only safe course in the present
crisis is to cut the acreage and cut it
deep. The spring Of 1897 Is said to
be the latest on record. The number
of acres planted that year exceeded
1896 by 1,046.375. and the number
Of bales produced exceeded 1895. by
100000 with the result that prices
were low during the fall Of 1897. II
we are to take 1897 as an example,
1t will not do to depend or the bad
weather doing the work.
We have four million bale sur
plus hanging over our heads. I'M
portant foreign spinners who bought
at last falls low prices for three
years ahead. will not be in the mar
ket at living prices this fall. Mill la
Dor unrest and worldwide coal trou-
bles further initiate against us. To
play the game properly we should not
make more than 100000 bales this
year. The courage OF those who firt
with this condition Is wonderful, but
their Judgment would not do to de-
scribe for publication.
Let the cry be- "cut the acreage
and cut it deep Corn can be plant
ed as late as July 1st, and the farm
er will be a great deal better off, IL
he raises less cotton and more corn,
for in the end he will get as much
for small crop as he would if he
raised large one, and have all his
corn clear.
