oficc and Receives Commission as
Captain.

Lieut.. r. T. Brown Of the Sumter
Llght infantry went to Columbia on
Saturday i'm the interest of the COM

been needed by the company for
some time. He was successful in his
visit also in securing his commission

successfully stood the examination
some weeks ago, and he also took
the oath of office as captain. The
commission was delivered to him i'm
person by Gov. Manning, who offered

In his congratulations Gov. Man
ming told Captain Brown to take this
message of the company: Tell the
boys that 1 shall now expect them TO
be the crack company of the State"
In reply Captain Brown stated that it
was the aim of the officers and every
member Of his company not only TO
make themselves by hard work a
crack company, but to so handle all
the affairs of the company in such
manner that our governor shall have
reason to be proud of his home COM
pany.
Captain Brown states that his con-
terence with Adjt. Gen. w. w. Moore
was entirely satisfactory and that the
military affairs of South Carolina
were being conducted in such an ef-
ficient manner by Gen. Moore, that
he and his competent assistant, Maj.
j. c. Caldwell, are worthy of the
highest commendation by the people
of the entire State.

years. The attendance upon the

half the white population of Man

AUTO TRIP TO CHARLESTON
*. Il. Belser Tells OF Visit Through
Eastern Section OF State.

Messrs r. b. Belser, Robert Plow-
den and M. H. Andrews returned Sat-
urday night from a trip to Charleston
by automobile, and in order that 9th
ers, who may wish to take the trip in
their cars, may know something of
the road, Mr.. BelSer has given some
information that will be OF service to
them.
The trip was made on Thursday.
from Sumter the party went to Man.
ming and thence to Foreston, where
they struck the river road, which
they held until they reached S, npit.
when they were turned off because of
trees across the road for some miles
out of their way. Mr.. Belser states
that this road was hard, but rough,
as it was little used. The river was
crossed in two ferries, on the George
town-Charleston road, which are kept
up by the counties. AS the George
town county gang was at work on the
road at the ferries, it was pretty bad
at the time, but not impossible After
crossing the ferry the party spent the
night at McClellanville and went on
to Charleston on Friday. Between
McClellanville and Charleston the
road is fine:
Friday night was again spent in Nc
Clellanville and after crossing the
ferries Saturday morning, the road at
that time being in much better con-
dition, as the work there had been
completed, the party set out from the
ferry to Andrews. Part Of this road
was terribly sandy, between the ferry
and. Sampit, but after passing Sampit
the road gradually improved until
they struck the Andrews-Georgetow
road, which was in excellent condi-
ton. From Andrews the road to
Kingstree, Manning and Sumter was
in good condition. Mr. Belser stated
that this road was much better than
the one they had gone over and he
: thinks that if they had gone on to-
wards Georgetown, before striking off
for the other road. they would have
escaped some Of the heavy sand they
had to- run through.
Mr.. Belser was struck with the
amount of timber which had been
wasted by fire at various points along
the road. The country between An
drews and the ferry and for many
miles along the river road which they
took going down was very poorly de-
veloped and thousands of acres be-
tween the ferry and Mt Pleasant
were entirely undeveloped.
Mr.. Belser stated that the crops
along the river road were fine and be-
tween McClellanville and Mt. Pleas
ant the long staple cotton was well
advanced and looking fine. The crops
on the other road, except for section
of Georgetown county between the
ferry and the Williamsburg county
line, where the crops were poor
were generally in good condition and
fairly clean of grass. Corn was
growing nicely and looking green and
healthy.
Mr.. Belser pointed out that the tr. n
to Charleston by either one of these
roads was much shorter than that by
Columbia, probably by about sixty ol
more miles. The trip to the George.
town MCClellanville ferry is about
eighty-five miles and from there to
Mr.. Pleasant is forty eight miles. The
trip by Columbia is not less than two
hundred miles.
