COUNTY COURT OFFERS
SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
PER MILE FOR Pixies

the price should not be bought at
all, but that the owners should be
made to keep them up to charter
He said I'VE have bought enough
pixies"
Squire Brooks spoke In favor of
adopting the majority report, and
said that within six years all the
pixies would be paid for, and that the
pike question would be closed for
good and all. He said that he was
an exponent of economy, and that
he did not think that $1,000 per mile
was excessive?
At this point the public was per
mitted to speak, and Seth Warfield
spoke against the purchase at the
larger price. He was followed by
Esq Webster who said that the val :
alton that his committee had put
npon the pixies was the nearest to
the correct one that they could deter
mine. He said that many Of the pixies
were bad, but that the county would
gain by buying them at this time as
they would be in worse fix later in
the year, and that the difference OF
$3.50 per mile would be less than
what 1t would cost the county to put
them in repair later, as at that time
they would be three times worse.
He said that the county should fix
them now. He said that the reason
that Senator Church was so opposed
70 the Santa Fe pike was because he
aived on it, and knew every bump in
the road.
At this point the speeches were
limited to five minutes time per man.
Then r. S. Hopkins took the floor,
and explained why he was against
the purchase at the higher figure.
de said that the pixies had not cost
the owners nearly this amount, and
II the county could not get them at a
reasonable figure, that the court
should wait until the next legisla-
fure, and get that body to pass some
sort of an custer law. so that the
county could get the pixies. Or. H.
a Cant spoke for the higher figure.
He characterized Senator Church's
numerous talks as "Clsp-trap. moth.
Eng but clap-trap"
ESQ. English said that II the court
force Mr. Rainey to put his pixies up

county $500 per mile, and that the

KING TOMATO
RAISER HERE

W. H. Edwards, one of the most
prominent residents of Cathey's
Creek was in Columbia Monday for
the second time in two years, and
was telling his friends in the city
about the wonderful tomato crop
that he raised this summer on his
farm fifteen miles west Of Columbia.
Mr.. Edwards raised one tomato that
weighed thirty-five ounces, and was
so large that five grown persons
could not dispose of the succelent
meat at one meal. Mr.. Edwards
raised on one vine fifty-one toma.
toes, and many of them weighed as
much as pound and half Resi-.
dents in his section are proclaiming
him the tomato king.
Mr.. Edwards this year adopted a
new method of raising tomatoes. He
planted thirty two vines at q dis.
lance Of four fet apart, and on each
vine he left three suckers. An en-.
ormous quantity resulted from this
experiment, and his family have put
up many jars of catsup and canned
goods.
Mr.. Edwards said that he had
been taking The Herald ever since
the paper was founded, and that
neither he nor his family could do
without it. He said that his wife
was particularly fond Of the paper,
and had enjoyed it for many years.
