Many Columbians are getting into
the habit of spending Sundays at
this place. We are glad to know
this and hope to see many more OF
our city cousins in our beautiful little
village. Our climate is delightfully."-
cool, invigorsting and refreshing; the
village being situated on seven hills,
makes it dry and healthfuL The
distance from Columbia is only twelve
miles, with good hard roads most OF
he time, making it pleasant for either
bicycle, horseback riding or drive.
We have a combination of town and

reason why this place should not be-

neighbors across the Congaree and

No Shoddy Work.

Gen. R. N. Richbourg of Columbia
is the official watch inspector for the
Southern Railway. Co. He is a first
class matchmaker of long standing
and employs none but first class
workmen and uses the very best
materials, so persons having watches
in need of repair or to be overhauled
should carry them to his establish
ment. He also keeps well selected
stock of jewelry, watches, silver and
gold ware and his goods are all war
rented to be just as represented. No
shoddy work IS done at his establish
ment and no base metal is sold for
silver or gold. Give him a trial:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Having seen nothing in your
columns from this section in some
time, will endeavor to give you a
few lines which I hope will be of in
terest to your many readers. The
farmers of this section are through
planting cotton and are plougbing
corn, but we are having SO much
rain at present, they are not doing
much with General Green, who is
raging with all his fury. When you
pass the farms of Mr.. A. i. Smith
and MIR. J. w. Scofill you will hear
the clang Of the hoe as the cotton is
being put to stand, especially the
latter, who has the largest cotton
farm in this section.
MIR. J. E. Dunbar and others are
trying to get some large punches of
lumber off to Charleston in this rainy
season.
Mr.. Jerome Lucas, who has been
very i'll, is convalescent.
Mr.. H. V. Rish, who has been con-
fined to his room for nearly three
weeks with pneumonia, has recovered
far enough to be out again.
The small grain crops Of this Sec
ton are looking very promising at
present.
It seems as if the matrimonial
fever that was raging through this
section sometime ago has ceased and
politics has taken it's place.
We are looking for fine crop OF
candidates this summer and q general
handshaking around among the far
mers, because they never forget US on
campaign years.
Much success to the Dispatch.

patience. His remains were inferred

A Long Life Ended.

After long and desperate strug-
gle between nature and the great
enemy of mankind, death laid the
beloved form of the aged John Lupo
in the grave, on the 29th day OF
April, 1896, in the 9Sth year OF his
age, at his home about half way be-
tween this place and Columbia, where
he had resided for nearly half a CEN
tury. He was one of natures no
blemen, honest and upright in all his
transactions with his fellow man, and
an earnest and consistent member OF
the Methodist church. None knew
him but to love him, and he leaves
behind glorious record OF a well
spent life as a heritage for those
who follow after. The chair which
he occupied in the church was drap-
ped in mourning in respect to his
memory.

Bill Nye SAYS:

A man may use a wart on the back
of his neck for collar button; ride
on the back coach of a train to save
interest on his money until the con-
ductor comes around; stop his watch
a! night to save the wear and tear;
leave his 81" aud st" without dot or
cross to save his ink; pasture his
mother'sgrave to save corn; but a
man of this kind is gentleman and

will take a newspaper, and when
asked to Pay for it, puts it into the
post Office and has it marked, "Rs-

To the Editor of the Dispatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Please give space in your paper
for the following statement: Your
report of a statement made before
the County Convention on the 4th
instant, as to the Lewiedale Demo
cratic club not having been organized
was to the effect that the failure to
organize said club was due to the
unexplained absence of the president.
AS requested by the County Chair
man, I had the retary to call out
our club and on the evening Of the
meeting of the club, I sent word to
the Secretary that I could not attend,
and requested that they organize and
elect delegates to the convention,
which I think ought to have been
sufficient to explain my absence.
