The Fairfield Independents have
nominated full county ticket to be
voted for in the November election.
If there is one redeeming feature
about this Independent movement,
which is very doubtful, it is that the
Boilers in Fairfield have asked the
support of only white men, and has
given the negro to understand that
his vote was not desired nor even
wanted.

is highly important that every one
who belongs to the debtor and in
dustrial class should know "where
he is at" and exert himself to have
every vote cast in the general cleo
ton in November for the success
of the Reformers in county, State and
Congress. Respectfully,

is, the "Rule of the Ring" How

member the influence exerted by
that paper before Tillman removed

DOTS FROM LOWER FORK.
Movements of Beautiful Bellies and
Gallant Beaux Interestingly Told.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
AS I never see anything in our
county paper about this community,
I will endeavor to give you a few
dots.
This is one OF the most prosper
Gus portions of our county, is stu
ated about six miles from Columbia,
with the best of roads and. as gen
eral thing, good health and water
that cannot be beaten anywhere for
its purity and refreshing GOODNESS.
It is only a small neighborhood with
houses situated about quarter of a
mile part and all it lacks Of being
little town to be proud of is for the
streets to be laid off, for we already
have two stores, two saw mills and
three gins.
Crops is such a thing as to make
any unselfsh mans heart feel good
to see.
Fodder pulling is over, except the
late fodder, and cotton picking is
now the order of the day. Some of
our industrious farmers have already
sold as many as two OF three bales
at once.
There has been some sickness in
this community. Mrs. Joseph Huff
man has been quite sick, but I am
glad to say she was able to be at
church Sunday.
Mrs. Eugene Nunamaker and Miss
Mamie Leitzsey are still on the sick
list, but I hope they will soon recover.
Miss Nola Haltiwanger has been
on a two weeks visit TO her old home,
now the residence of Mr.. W. W.
Spence, and friends. It looked like
old times to see her over here, and [
would not be surprised if it did not
remind some of our bellies, OF rather
beaux, of the past. We regretted
very much to see her leave. Come
again: Miss Nola, we will be glad to
see you.
I am sorry to say that Master
Mayo Ogilvie, who accompanied Mas
ter Victor Haltiwanger after bis Sis
ter, Miss Nola, was taken sick on
Sunday morning and was not able
to return at the appointed time.
Little Mayo is quite an impressive
little boy and I hope to hear that he
has been restored to his usual health.
Mrs. Polk Younginer, and her little
son Tommie, are on visit to rela.
tives and friends in Newberry.
Miss Acquilla Younginer left last
Saturday to visit her brother in Fair
field county, accompanied by hel
neice, Miss Lille Younginer. Iwish
them pleasant visit.
Mrs. Boyd Bearden, of Columbia,
paid a brief visit to her mother,
Mrs. Sue Huffman, about a week
ago. I was sorry to miss seeing her
cheerful face. I hope she will make
her visit longer next time.
Mrs. Jennins, Of Columbia, has
been visiting her grandmother, Mrs.
Sallie Huffman.
Miss Nora Maffett, who has been
off on visit to relatives and friends
in Newberry and Edgeield, has re-
turned home, and on last Sunday
performed her duty at the organ in
her usual graceful manner, while her
sweet voice added much to the
beauty OF our singing. We are glad
to see our young men taking an in
terest in the choir. That's right;
we hope they will take al interest in
every good cause, for there is moth
thing We delight in .:.v.. than hav-
ing good, moral, steady young men
that we can praise and rely upon.

Many districts have taken steps
leading to uniformity of text books, a

A greater number of districts report
having adopted lists of text books.
More districts report schools graded

been supplied with charts for better
Illustrating several of the most impor-
tant branches; many districts have
put in slate blackboards; these and
many other improvements indicate
that Notwithstanding the hard times,
educational matters in the county

nowise shown neglect in this import
ant work. The educational outlook is
encouraging. Although the stringency

Brooker Bros, and being the lowest
they were awarded the contract for
erecting the tower, tank and mill, and
in the course of erection we found it
necessary to put in some extra iron
rods at the cost of four dollars, which
was not in the contract, making the
bill in full for the above named work
four hundred and fifty-two dollars.
The foundation, which was not a part
of the contract, cost tifty-eight
dollars and ninety cents. Thenew well
one hundred and seven feet deep
cost ninety cents per foot, making
ninety-six dollars and thirty cents.
A new pump, extra well casing, pip
ing and work, 5000, making a total
cost of all the work, complete and in
running order, $685., 65, deducting the
four hundred appropriated, it leaves
a balance yet unpaid of $195.65. If
this work had not been absolutely
necessary, as your committee report
ed. we would have put it off after
finding that it would cost much more
than was appropriated, but we could
see no way out of it, as the institu-
tions were obliged to have more water,
and therefore went ahead with the
improvement.
You also appropriated 500 to make
the necessary alterations in the two
northeast corner rooms in the Court
House for offices to be occupied by the
circuit Judge. The rooms were fitted
up soon after your last fall session
and are now occupied.
