The Columbia State learns from
an unquestionable source that the
rumors connecting the Seaboard Air
Line and Southern with tbe pur
chase of the C & N W aro unfoond
ed in faot, and that the new owners
of the roid are not connected with
either of thete systems. Ibey sure
men of ample means who have a
definite plan of development to car
ry ont.
They propes to change the road
to standard gauge and are already
making preparations to tbat end.
They wili extend it from Lenoir, N.
C, ita present terminus, to Klisa
bethtou, Tenn., a point about 15
miles sooth of Bristol, with which
point it is already connected by
rail. This extension will p&fs
throagh extensive coal and iron
properties. It is also intended to
extend the line south from Chester
a distance of about 50 miles to
Camden, where connection will be
made with the three leading rail
road systems of this stotion. A
road from hester to Camden will
past by the great water power on
tho Catawba river.
The main purpose of the capital
ists behind the project it to supply
thit section with coal from the ex
tensive Tennessee fields. This they
will be able to do at rates probably
below all rivalry from other sources
and at cheap coal wili be a blotting
to South Carolina it follows that
thit development will be of great
valoe and importance to the Sta'.e.
A oorpt of turveyort it about to be
pot in the field to ran the line be
tween Chester and Camden. At
Camden the com potion between the
Seaboard, Southern Atlantio Ooatt
Line system is oonnted on to fur

ARP ON DIVORCES

Who are tbe mtrriageable girls
goidg to marry P This generation
cannot judge the future by the paat,
for the paat does cot interest them.
The present it treir cbief concern.
Only tie old people who married
taalf a century ago can appreciate
the con rast between now and then
and the change for the worte is
alarming. The marriage relation
hrt lost conch of ill cericntness, its
solemnity, its dignity, and conse
quently sparatiors snd divorces
inoereased far more rapidly than
population. During the pist twen
ty yean population bis increased
60 per c-nt, wbile divorcer have in-
croasi 157 pt r cent. What a nc rl
o' br ken vews aid tonjuga' misery
Dr. Landrum, the eminent Baptut
preacher of Atlanta, s&id in a re
cent sermon, "Our homes are in
peril The foundations of society
are threatenrd. Marriega it too
often a mockery. D.vcrces are
rapidly mn'tiplying in our courts
and rfomeit'c depravity prows
apace."
But lel divorces are bnt a small
proportion of tbe number of separ
ations and a smII smaller propor
tion of unhapp" married paople wlo
suffer and endure their conjugal
miser rather than mortify their
children or excite a public sandal.
A notable lady of oar town declared
recently that she knew of but two
happy married ccupks in our whele
community. Only two who are as
loving and devoted as when they
stood at tho marriage altar We all
know mny who if not as happy as
when g'st married, are as lovirg
and kind to each other, and their
happiness is only married by tl e
anx e is incident to mimed life.
St. Paul said. "The love of money
it the root of all kvil," and Ben
Franklin aid, "The lack of it is
the cause of all misory." Neither
of these assertions are altogether
true, but they approximate the
troth I was ruminating about the
greed md selfishness of mankind,
for I hav keen reading abiut these
trusts so mncb of late thit liko the
City of Siustna, I save became per
pleued r.d don't know what is go
ng to be the e id of it. In The
Saturday Ksview of Sip-.eme-r 21
and 9lh, which is a ladies' j ureal
of great t xoellent, published in At
lant, there are vo aiticl s cn
trusts, wr tt.n by Dr Alfred E
Seddor; au Englishman, 1 bclivo,
bnt now a cit i n of Atlanta, which
for cogent and classic tbeugh en ites
both admiration and alarm After
setting forth tbe many evils that
wi 1 fallow these gret comb ut ons
of capital, he aks, "What is push
ing on this mighty movement this
great iceberg that is going counter
to powefol currents and billows?
Popnlar deencciatien, the presp,
the enactments of congress and
legislatu es are like "so many wavct
tpending tneir impotent wrath in
vain upon the monster. Trusts
will continue to move on. They
will grow in power aid will in time
corral all the waltb, the transpor
tion, the produce of our mines and
fields. They will enlist in their
service a yatt army of toliert whose
dependence on them will be soui
crnshing and absolute, and tbey
will bar out another army of would
be toilers, who will he ve no visible
means of support and then wbatf
To what goal are we hastenn gf
Congress might as well try to pre
vent the sun frrm setting on the
west, er to s'op tte dewn rushing
of In iagara, as to attempt by hw
to arrest this nniversal trend of mod
ern ronmrroe towrrds troat,"
Then Dr. Seddon writes of the
new faotor in Amerioan sooiety
the faotor of poverty - and aays that
ita presence and itt power it not
yet rea'iied, He quotes from the
addreet of welcome by the Chicago
Federation of Labor to tho trades
assembly: "We bid you welcome
in the names of a hundred moaop-
olult and fifty thousand tramps.
Here mammon holds bet carnival is
palaces, while mothert are heart
broken and children are star f ing
and men look . in vain for work.
We welcome you in tbe name ef a
hundred thoussnrl idle men tonight
we will show you hundreds of
strong men lying on tbe rough
stones in the corridors of this very
bnilding -no home, ne food men
able and willing to work, but fcr
whom there it ne work."
In New York city there were
over 30,000 families turned ont latt
year for unpaid rent. There were
250 tnicidet and one person in every
ten who dies it bnried in the pot
ter's field. Ob, the pity of it-the
pityofitl When will the millen-
ium come? Dr. 8eddon believet it
became be knows that God is good
and will not suffer tuch misery to
be prolonged, send because He has
promised that all the families of
the earth shall be blessed.
I cm almost afraid to read suoh
things now. Such pictures of hu
man misery bring sadness and a
feeling of dispair. Long, long ago
I wept over tbe "Lay of the I abor
er," by Tom Hood, when it first
appeared in London. Tbat same
tad song has gotton over here on
this side of the water and now onr
own itrong men are singing:
"Wherever nature needs,
Wherever labor calls,
No job I'll shirk of the hardest
woik
To shun the workhouse walls;
No alms I ask, give me my task
Here are the arm, the leg,
The strength, the sinews of a
man,
To work and not to beg."

Farmers are generally very careless
in regard to their farm implements.
Often the plow it left in the field or
hung up on the fence The reaper
and mower we have often teen
standing in the field, where they
were left when latt used. The wa
gon, unsheltered, is left to with
t'and the sun's storm. It it a fact
known to all farmert that exposure
it more injurant than constant use.
By tbe next spring the element will
have dot-e their work. he rust
will have eaten deeply into the
tteel and much unpleasant work
will be made, and patience almost
exhausted before the plow will
scour, when a little timely work
would have sived all tronble. The
bright moldboards, when the fall
work is done, should h rubbed dry
and coated wi h linseed oil, and
next spring the plow will glide
smoothly into the rioh soil, turning
it over without any tronble, G ve
shelter to your implements, and for
the painte woodwork a good coating
of crude petroleum will be found
very beneficial. Hundreds or thou
