A Big Cake for a Nickle.

MIR. L B. Dczier, the popular rep
resentative of Lautz Bros. g. Co,
the univeral soap makers for the peo-
pie, Buffalo, n. Y was in town Mon
day and called to see US. We found
him to be pleasant and aft .ble gen.
tleman who could talk more business
in one minute than most men can in
one hour. But then he has a good
article to talk on and one that is of
interest to every housewife-the best
soap on the market. He finds that
housewives wherever he has been
are asking for those cakes Of Big
Circus" because not only do they
get good deal for their nickle, but
get the best, ard quality counts in
soap just as much as it does in a
dress pattern-even more-for poor
soap is positively injurious to fabrics,
whether linen, cotton or wooler !;
hence, dear at any price.

The mill men, merchants and bust
ness men of Greenville have set on
foot q plan to increase the wheat
acreage of that county which is
worthy of being initiated by the
roller mill men of this county. They
will offer several prizes to be con-
tested for by wheat growers, and the
roller mill people have received two
car loads of fine seed wheat which
they will sell to farmers at small
profit ard on easy terms. They will
also store the crop for farmers free
of charge and buy whenever the
owners wish to sell, or use and pay
wherever the owners are suited with
the market. Why cannot our mer-
cnants, business men and rollor mill
men jointly sgree to cffer prizes and
provide seed wheat and storage for
the crop so as to encourage the grow
ing of wheat in this comfy? The
lands of the Fork and other portions
of the county are especially adapted
to wheat growing and this crop will
put money in circulation at a time of
the year when it is mostly needed for
the purposes Ct business, and will
help all clases of citizens.

The Columbia Evening Record
fayors the continuance of the beer
privileges on the ground that Of two
evils it is wisest to choose the least,
therefore to reduce the consumption
of whisky, beer drinking should be
encouraged.
Without admitting or denying the
souudness of it's logic, our contempo-
rary seemingly forgets or completely
ignores the fact that beer can be sold
from the dispensary with as much
encouragement" as by beer privilege
men. To use it's argument with
stronger force that of two evils choose
the least why not use the dispensary
with it's restrictions to ''encourage beer
drinking" rather than by granting
beer privileges as the least Of the
two evils?

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dlspatcb:
I desire to call the attention OF
road overseers to the fact that it is
their duty to look after all bridges
on their section and to keep them in
good repair so as to prevent horses
from getting their feet through
holes on account of broken and rot
ten planks. When bridge gets in
such condition as to require my
pei sonal attention, the oVelseer
should take enough interest in the
welfare of the county and pride in
the reputation of his section OF being
we'll kept as to notify me of the fact
as soon as possible. By an act OF
the las. Legislature it has b. en- made
encumbent upon me to look after the
whole interest of the county, and it
is impossible for me to get around to
inspect the roads and bridges as often
as I would like, and hence, in order
that the county shall have the best
possible service, I must insist that
all the road overseers do their full
duty as laid down in the law so that
the public will have no just cause to
complain to me of the condition of
the roads and bridges and every lit
tie culvert across a public road.
When q bridge needs repairing, just
get the lumber and repair it and be
sure that you get good lumber.
Iwould take it as favor if the
public generally would assist me in
pushing the overseers up to perform
their whole daty.
Overseers are instructed to see
that owners of gates across public
road keep them in repair as re
quired by law. The side bitches
Or drains passing through or by
same gates kept open must by no
means be permitted to be shut so as
to dam the water and cause it to
wash up the road bed.

' Mr.. Douglass Lowrance, who re-
presents the wide-awake, progressive
and deservedly popular firm Of
Lorick & Lowrance, of Columbia, is
on the road in the interest OF his
house and while in town called to
see US. He is, like his father, Capt.
W. B. Lowrance, thorough bust
ness young man, with vim and push
about him which evidences a success
full career.
This firm has taken the right step
to extend their business and building
up Columbia as a jobbing market.
We don't see why Columbia cannot
command a large share of the bust.
ness of our county merchants.
Her business men are home folk,
who help to bear large share of the
burden of State taxation and have
always been very liberal in their
contributions for public improve
ments and private enterprises tend
ing to develop the resources of city
and country, and coupled with is the
fact that they sell goods as cheaply
as can be purchased in any other
market. They are, therefore, deserv-
ing OF: the patronage of our mer-
chants and should receive it. Let
US help those who help US and We
will thereby be advancing our own
interest. We hope other Columbia
firms will follow the worthy example
set by Lorick & Lowrance, and put
representatives on the road and that
they will receive the orders of not
only the merchants of this county,
but those of the surrounding coun,
ties.

Solicitor Thurmond won the ap-
proval of all peace loving and law
abiding people for the able and
conscientious manner in which he
discharged his unpleasant, arduous
and trying duties during the last
term of the Court of Sessions. The
management of his cases was marked
with thorougbness and complete
ness which impressed his hearers
that he-was firm in his determination
to do his whole duty regardless OF
consequences. His examination OF
witnesses was courteous and polite,
his sole purpose evidently being to
bring out the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, whether
that truth be for or against him, thus
making him an ideal prosecutor, in
stead of prosecutor as is often the
case in some of our court houses.
Before jury he is logical, clear and
impressive, which makes him an in.
teresting speaker.
We are glad to notice that lie is
pushing the payment of bonds which
have been forfeited by reason of the
failure of bailed persons to appear
at the time specified. By pushing
these payments he has recovered
several hundred dollars that without
this action would have been lost to
the counties. On the whole he has
made an excellent judicial officer.

Swansea's Doings.
To the L litor of the Dispatch:

Swarseas Dolngs.
To the Z litor of the Dispatct:
The cotton harvesting has been
badly delayed by rainy weather, and
some difficulty has been experienced
from a scarcity of labor for the de-
maud.
Messrs. Fred Fulmer and Noah
Derrick, from the Pine Ridge vicinity,
have been looking around here to
purchase farming lands and, it is re-
ported, have succeeded in purchas-
ing.
Miss Lizzie Knots, from Kootts
Mill community below herein Orange
burg county, has gone to the Lees
vile College for the session. This is
the second daughter of Captain
Joseph E Kuotts, who is we'll known
to many of the veterans Of the Lost
Cause.
1t is said on very good authority
that the trustees have secured the
services of Silas Hutto to teach the
Swansea school next session and that
Mrs. F. Nj. Hodge will be his assist
ant. Both selections are we'll re-
ceivea by the patrons and will meet
the requirements as teachers for our
children and as examples for their
behavior and department. Silas is q
graduate of Leesville College and is
a young man of moral worth and
good natured common sense and OF
genteel becoming decorum, which we
are sure will commend him as an in
structor in his new field. He has
taught sufficiently before to learn
him something of his duties and re-
sponsibilities. Mrs. Hodge is an ed
ucated, Christian lady of Georgia
birth and culture. Her walk ard
life since in our neighborhood gives
US assurances of the fortunate selec
ton made for this assistance. 10 ad-
dition to this she will continue 10
teach such music scholars who may
desire this accomplishment.
The addition of a planer and rice
huller will soon increase the bust
ness capacity of the Swansea trade.
Hon. W. H. F. Rast has the finest
specimen of hog for winters con,
sumption We have seen. It is nearly
four years old and some competent
judges think will weigh six or seven
hundred pounds if we'll fattened.
Mr.. Bascomb Rast and family are
now in Swansea from Columbia and
expect to 90 into business here. He
is brother of W. H. F. Rast and
We welcome him and family to our
town. Mr.. Rast and family will be
an addition to the moral influence
here and good factor in our bust
ness future.
Another little citizen has made its
abode with US and has added her
charms to the home of DR.. j. L
johnson.
