To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We find the crops very good es-
pecially corn. Peas were hurt from
the wet weather, so that they will be
short. Cotton is very good. Goose
berries are plentiful.
The sands hills are much better
thar thought to be by great many.
They will produce almost anything
the red land will. People thought
once that cotton could not be raised
here, but it is a grand mistake. Cot
ton can be grown here as well as in
the red land and the people live at
home.
We are proud to note that there is
being taught at the "Sand Mountain
Academy" very fourishing school
by one of the students of Summit
High school, Mr.. Enoch Hite, who is
giving great satisfaction to all those
interested. We realize in Mr.. Hite
a kind and honest disposition.

DR.. Bates, chairman of the State
Board of Canvassers, is out in the
daily papers in card telling why the
certificate of election was, given to
Congressman Murray. The action
of the Board of Canvassers needs no
explanation nor apology. They sim
ply declared the result of the cleo
ton in the old Seventh District as
the returns declared. There is not
an intelligent man in South Carolina
but what knows that it is simply a
matter of impossibility for a white
Democrat to have been elected from
this District without practicing fraud.
This District was made overwhelm-
ingly Republican for the purpose of
making the six other districts solidly
Democratic.

pleasing picture.
The children who participated in
the sacred cantata, Unto all the
world" performed their parts with
grace, ease and precision as to win
for themselves the admiration of the

A Success Despite Disadvantages - Continued
Through Saturday Everybody Satisfied.

ouVSesS utspitc disadvantages - Sohtthueu
Through Saturday Everybody Satisfied.
Mineral Points reputation for put
ting up good fair and paying
premiums in full, however untoward
the circumstances or unfavorable
the prospects of commensurate re-
ceipts, stood her we'll in hand last
week. Scarcely another fair associa-
ton could have hoped for any meas.
ure of success with it's principle
day actually blotted out. But when
last Thursday opened with drench-
ing rain which continued until after
noon, and the announcement was
made that the program of the day
would be given on the morrow, and
that of Friday on Saturday, the dit.
ticulty was overcome, for the people
of tributary towns knew that the
promises of this association would
be redeemed. Accordingly, the
crowds came on Friday and Satur-
day; the progam was carried out in
every detail, and premiums will be
paid to the last dollar, as fast as the
list can be got through.
All circumstances considered, the
fair was about the greatest in the
history of the association. On rare
occasions the attendance has been
slightly larger, and in more favor
able seasons exhibits in a few de-
partments have been more extensive,
but in others there was Improvement
TO fully compensate.
Especial mention is due the ex-
hibits in the household, fine art and
mercantile departments. In these
lines the display was never larger
or better. The Economy Store, w.
j. Penhallegon, w. II. Prideaux,
Brewer q Penhallegon, J. p. Frie-
den, Eden & Blewett, s. Hooking
q Co., Martin q Toay, each made
an excellent show of their mer-
chandise, and contributed much to
the attractlveness Of the hall. A
feature in which peculiar local pride
centered was the splendid display
of products Of the Mineral Point
Wooden Mills. The variety and su-
periority Of the goods shown and
made at this factory was crafty
ing surprise to nearly all who saw
them. 1t was the first iDtimation to
most Of those who saw the exhibit
that such fine blankets and other
things are being produced at this
factory.
1t was hoped that full list of
premium awards could be published
in this issue, but the secretary being
unable to prepare it in time, readers
must wait another week. The rae
ing, which was the best ever known
in the county, for speed attained
