On Monday after the sleet he went to the woods and cut cord wood the noon hour, when he was stopped by a chill. During the morning he cut cords of wood. At noon he lay down before the fire and when he had shaken off his chill ho went back to the woods. The afternoon was spent in cording up the wood he had previously cut, and when night be had laid up cords as an afternoon's work. So the record for the day three and a half cords of wood cut from the stump, one chill shaken off, and and a half cords of wood laid up Mr. Garrison says that to cut and put up five cords of of wood is a light day's work. He loves to feel his keen reaching deep into the timber at every stroke.

The Virginia legislature is after passenger fans and has a bill requiring the corporation of that State to fix a rate of two cents a mile Railroad A gentleman from the country some days ago that he does not HO to town any than he is compelled to. A man from the town said that he did not leave town ex- when he is compelled to do so, for he said the dirt roads are so bad he can not well drive into try and the railroads are so bad he is afraid to go on a train. This last observation was made with reference to the frequent wrecks on the rail Mads, it is getting to be an alarm situation. There is much favorable comment about the ire- of wrecks It is common on almost all roads. The public safety demands should be some s taken to reduce the frequency wrecks and accidents and danger to human life. Are toe railroads trying to do n ore thin their forces t f can measure up to, or is there more business than the present number of railroad lines can There must inadequacy some where. Either there are not rail road tracks enough to accommodate business demands or there are not enough to do the work It s a fearful contemplation that a man feels in clanger of sudden de- every time he takes a -eat on a railroad car. To be sure, then- is some element of danger in almost any mode of travel, even in an ox cart or mule wagon ; but the in- crease in the number or railroad makes one feel like he would rather travel by the old time stage coach and arrive at his destination quite hit- than to start on a railroad train d not arrive at all.

The other road will be a main line of the Atlantic Coast Line running from Wilmington to Norfolk via New B and Greenville. With such a prospect for Greenville in the near future it is no wonder that the town Veins to be taking on new life and so many people are anxious to make investments Almost any in- vestment made here now would be a safe one, for by the time the content railroads are pro- will be much higher than at present. it is a good time also for our pie to be interesting themselves in manufacturing enterprises. Sites for factories can be secured along where the railroads will enter and run through portions of the town, and transportation facilities will be very convenient Deals for such sites can be made to much better age now than by waiting until after the are built Greenville needs factories of various kinds, and the time is ripe for agitating them. thing that the business men of Greenville ought to be inter- themselves in is the improve- of the public roads leading to the town Every obstacle that hind era people in coming here to do their be and there is no better way to attract them than by having good roads over which they can haul their produce to town and take back loads of men-ban disc.
