bums Saturday on business.
He waa ashed tho nature nf MK I

tho questions asked, he interviewed
the Interviewer, and asked how the
people of this soctlon endorsed the |
'provent administration, and remark
[ag that ibero' waa a great deal of j

Mr. Calkin is winding up tho big
Calhoun estate, embracing large

emptying Into tho Savannah river
near tho big shoalB on the Calhoun
