To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The school at this place is rapidly
progressing under the skillful care
of Miss May Haltiwanger. Miss
May is we'll qualified teacher and
handles the little ones in such way
that they have already learned to
love and respect her. We think the
patrons have made a good selection
in teachers this time.
The health of this community, I
am sorry to say, is not good. We
are constantly hearing of some new
case of fever.
Are you going to the barbecue? is
the cry on every hand now.
A nice shower of rain fell last
evening making every thing look
fresh.
We have recently heard that Mr..
A. I. Shealy has gone after the sing
ing teacher today, Mr.. Counts. The
singing will begin tomorrow at this
place. A singing school is very
much needed in this community.
Crops are. promising more than
was expected in the spring. Some
fodder will soon be to pull, and we
notice that some bolls of cotton are
bursting.
Peaches, apples and other fruits
are plentiful in some places. But
watermelons will soon be gone.
A large crowd came out to attend
Sunday school last Sunday evening,
at this place. We are very glad that
the people has become interested in
this very important work. Both old
and young seem to take an active
part.
The school is now going on at
Pineville, Mr.. S. S. Lindler being
the teacher.
Success to the Dispatch.

The presidents of the clubs at the
places where county campaign meet,

see that all the necessary arrange
ments are made therefor.
The Executive Committee, under
instructions of May convention, has
adopted the following imaginary line
to divide the Fork into two magis-
terial districts: Commencing at
Counts ferry on ssluda river, theme e
the Lewiedale and Spring Hill road
to Leonard Slices, thence the road
leading by John E. Fulmer's and
P. E. Eleazer's into public road lead
ing to White Rock, thence this road
to the Columbia and Newberry road,
thence the Freshley old mill road by
Mrs. Betsy Whites and 81. J. Full
mer's on to Broad river at Freshley's
old mill place. The voters living
south and east of this line will vote
for one man for Magistrate living in
that territory. Those voters living
north and west of this line will vote
for one man for Magistrate living in
their territory. The voters living on
one side of the line who vote on the
other side will vote for man living
on his (the voter's) side, and the
managers will so report the votes.
