.i Oldest Newsp^ef in South Carolina. VOL. 74. EDGEFIELD, S. C., WgM?SDAY, MARCH 3rd, 1909. NO. 5. NEW TROLLEY LINE. Trolley Line From Greenwood . to- Augusta, Reported by }' Modern Bar?n Mun chausen. Some time ago Mr. J. T. Faulkner pf North Augusta, gave the warning to the people of Edgefield, in regard to the proposed trolley line to Au- ] gusta. This I thought should have ; been enough to set the promoters of said road tumbling over each oth er to; get -to their picks and shov els, beginning to throw dirt, in ear nest, and shutting down the gas works. But alas the gas works haye been running full steam ahead and "worked overtime. . ' . No dirt has been broken Nand? there you are. They have waited, too long and thereby hangs this tale: We have decided to mn this road . from Greenwood via?. Boles moun tain in a direct line to Augusta, Ga. Thi? takes it right through my place, and I haye given, them every acre of it-house and all. ' I only reserved a large pine stump and the grass that may grow around it. This I will use to,sit. on a,nd watch N the cars pass and repass, and pick np the cigar stumps thrown away at this point; There will be a sign in each car requesting the smokers to ihr?w their "stumps" out here. I know my good fortune will be mnch envied by one member of the Edge field Chronicle force. I will not mention his name . for fear I will /rossel" his feelings. This road is already finished from ( Greenwood to*Boles mountian. We have had a force of three hundred wood-sawers and seven hundred grasshoppers at work for some time with three hundred and twtnty-three other insects doing the rolling, j We will at great expense purchase agigantjic" one-horsepower gas en gine (gas to be furnished us by the .. promoters of the other road referred to in the beginning of this article). This engine, will be one of the sta tionary type; oifethat is noted' for its stationary ability, with cylinder . shaped Cylinders, double back action stroke that is non-combustible and prohibitive of the highest finish. ' It . will have the most expensive ajttto 'ihatie side shifting exhaust that was ever placed on so powerful and ex-? , pensive an engine. This engine , will be used to pall the cars by ca ble to the top of Boies mountain from the Greenwood side. From the top of Boles mountain down to Turkey creek the track will be laid at an angle of forty-five to sixty de grees. The cars will be allowed to go down thi" incline with all the speed they can possibly gather so as to make up, lost thne. At the end of this trackNm t the bank of said Turkey creek will be placed a sub stantial bumper that will pre sent the cars from running into the * creek. This will shake the passen ^gers up a little but it will serve to somewhat lelieve the monotony of the journey. After the cars haye recoiled several times and the pas sengers have recovered, the cars will be placed on a flat provided for that purpose and thus put across the stream. Time will be given those who enjoy such sport to shoot the turkeys and swim around in the the creek/ After crossing the creek, arrangements have been made to haul the cars to Duntonville with 3Ir. Will Reel's oxen. From Dun tofaville to my place the road will be built with sufficient incline to cause the cars to run by themselves at the rate of one mile every four hours. If any extra power is needed we expect use the "kicks" of the passengers to to assist us. The distance from Dun tonville to my place is about six miles, and for at least one-quarter of a mile we will have but little work to do. We will have to bnild but one trestle, which will be only five and three-quarter miles long, and its greatest height wilt not b?^over one and a half miles. This trestle will end in about five feet from the stump on which I shall sit. To get fi om here toward Augusta we will bnild a short trestle com mencing four and one half feet from aforesaid stamp and running to Mr. Sam Gardner's place. This, tres tle will be about two and one- half inches lower than the above men tionfd trestle.lt will go over Ropers at a height of one hundred and sev enty-five feet. At this point we wijl have an elevated station with a lad der to go up and down on. This will prove quite an attraction for Ropers, as the ladies will flock there to see the men go up and down the ladder or vice versa, more probably vice versa. ; At Dr. Hugh Shaw's our road will make a complete circle around his honse three times. This-is to be dope as a little inexpensive joke on the promoters of the other road. Tliey didn't give him any road at all, so we will give him more than anybody else on the line. From Mr. Sam Gardner's on to ^THE DAM TROUBLE. New Fishway Ordered Glaced at the Locks on the Savannah. For several years complSmt has been made concerning the scarcity of fish in the Savannah and its tribu taries above the locks, it having been alleged that the fish way at the dam constructed by the city of Augusta is "defective in that it does not allow the fish to pass up stream. Last year a special commission was appointe/! by the South Carolina legislature to make an inspection of 'the fishways on the Savannah. Acting upon the report of the commission the legisla ture adopted the following resolu tion last week: "Be it resolved by the House of -iepresentatives, the Senate concur^ ring: That the. attorney general be, ancl he is hereby, required to bring an action against th^ owners of the dam situated in Edgefield county, State of South Carolina, above city of Augusta, to erect and maintain proper fishways or on action abate the said dam as in violation of the terms of the-original grant by ^the said State of South Carolina, as he is advised.'r Augusta does not loolc favorably upon the resolution of the South Carolina 'general assembly, and will probably not act in the matter until forced to do so. According to the Augusta Chronicle, a" prominent city official made the following state ment upon being informed of the adoption-of the foregoing resolution : "The United States government ordered in the present plan and un less the govern ment directs us we will not. change the fishway weLare using. It is as good as any there is in existence and the authorities of South Carolina, I believe, will have * hard time getting the war depart ment to order in a different fishway If "there is a new fishway ordered in the government engineer will be undoing his own work/' Guarding Against Trouble. Said th's- editor tot the new re porter, as quoted by an ejtcbania*^ "'You mus? learn-never t> ' unt;l-rit-.'\ proved a fact. You are aj us into libel suits. Do 'not' BI^-nm cashier stole the funds," say "The eashjer who is alleged to bave-stol?n the funds.' That's all. Oh. get some thing about that First Ward socia to-night." And this is the report turned in by the young man, who heeded the editor's warning: "lt is rumored that a card party was given last evening to a number of reputed ladies 01 the First Ward. Mrs. SH th; gossip says, was the hostess, and the festivi ies are reported to have continued until 11:30 in the evening. The alleged hostess is said to be the wife of John Smith, the so-called 'high-priced grocer.' " Augusta we will not have to build a track as the sand is from one to six feet deep, and the cars will glide right on through like a top. Ev?ry car will stop at Mr. John Williams' long enough for each pas senger to shake hands with him. V/e have engaged him to stand there for that purpose night and day Should the cars happen to meet any ol: the passengers' friends along the way time will be given for the pas sengers to shake hands with them and inquire about the weather, their families, etc. Our route hits the Hampton Ter race hotel right in the middle, but W? have arranged to move it out of the way and use it for a poultry house at Belvedere. Our cars will be shipped back by steamboat to Savannah, thence by railroad to Greenwood, and begin their journey over again. On our initial trip we expect to give away souvenir too'th picks, guaranteed to have been used by President Taft and party for extracting the possum from their teeth at various times and places. TROLLEY CRANK. P. S.-As a motive-power on the latter part of our road, we will use hoc air, such as. our competitors.have been using to build their road with. You will doubtless/hotice that no provision has been made for the passengers that patronize our line to get back home. In regard to this I .will say that our cars will stop at the dispensaryjn North Augusta for fifteen minutes; the men will be ex pected to get so drunk that they can't get home, and as to the ladies, of course somebody will carry them home. W? will have a sign in each car cautioning passengers not to say "Taft'r while in hearing distance of the ' dispensary, . it ber ing very dangerous; as just the other day somebody in a crowd there yel led "Taftf' and the employees in the dispensary thought they said "graft" This caused a row in which three mea were killed instantly, and they dieL Hence the sign.

I have been in bed since I returned from Lexington on last Friday, suffering with Grippe, am sitting up for a few minutes to-day, so it will-ibev impossible forme, with out endangering my life, to be at Edgefield on Monday; but I am go ing to be at Edgefield on "Wednesday morning following.

With kind regards, Chas. G. Dantzler. (Judge Charles G. Dantzler arri ved this, Wednesday, morning and opened court promtly at 10 o'clock.) Executive Board Met. On Satnrday last the annual meet ing of the executive board of the Edgefield Baptist Association was held in the Baptist church here. The principal matter that engaged the attention of the board was appor tioning the amount to be given by the association among the nineteen churches. As will be seen from the tabulated statement of the appor tionment published in this issue, with one or two exceptions, the churches have been asked to increase their contributions to the various causes of benevolence about ten per cent above last year's apportionment. By adopting some systematic plan of raising the money the churches can easily raise the amount that is ex pected of them. The board is com- ? posed of the following very earnest and zealous Christan workers: Mr. O. Sheppard, Rev. P. B. Lanham, Col. S. B. Mays, Rev. J. T. Little john, Dr. C. E. Burts, Col. F. N. K. Bailey, Rev. P. P. Blalock, Rev. L. B. White, and Rev J. E. Johnston. The guest was evidently "enjoy ing his meal by reason of a hearty appetite. . These are excellent bis cuits, Mrs. Brown," said he ^to his hostess. "I don't know how many I've eaten." "I do," piped up little Mabel ; 'you've eaten six."-Har per's Weekly.

A ?state-wide prohibition bill was i pas sey! by the House of RepJesen??tives by a majority bf. eighteen votes but the senate refused to adopt the raeas S'e without an amendaient. I After nch discussion the senate finally passed the bill creating state-wide prohibition to become effective fjhe first Tuesday in August; - 1909, but tacked on an amendment provid- ? in g for a special election in .the wet counties on the third Tuesday in August. South Carolina will have state-wide prohibition by enactment 1 for a period of two weeks? The ad- ; vantage gained by the prohibition- 1 ists in passing this measure is that the legislature has ordered or provi ded for special elections in the wet counties, thereby relieving the peo- ( pie in these counties of the trouble < and expense ?pf circulating petitions ? for the special election provided for ] in the existing Carey-Cothran law. The law which provides for state- 1 wide prohibition for the above men tioned two weeks is too lengthy for . publication in full but we publish 1 herewith the amendment which en- , ables the wet counties to resume the operation of county dispensaries, if a majority of the voters 6i those \ codnties so desire; ] "Sec. 14.
