1 suppose that as population and
productive industry advances in the
wake of irresistible changes irci-
dent to business affairs wrought by
capital and labor; when this genera
tion shall have passed away, there
will then be seen, preserved by the
privilege few of the wealtbiest class
es, only very small and circumscribed
areas of the original long leaf South
ern pines.
But there are other changes of
sadder nature which have occurred
in that vicinity within the last decade
changes wrought by the omnipo-
tent hand of God. The graveyards
cities of the dead-at New Hope,
Cross Roads, Antioch and other
places of that section, show that q
large number OF my associates, kin
dred and friends have passed beyond
this mundane sphere. The unceas-
ing and ever present mutations OF
time, time the ruthless destroyer of
all terrestrial beings and hsbitations,
is sad indeed to contemplate.
''Time with such silent motion.
Floats along on wings of air:
To eternity's dark ocean,
Burrying all its treasures there"
Miss Lizzie Seay, of your town, is
successfully teaching thepublic school
at New Hope, while Mr.. Henry Rish
is training plastic minds for life's
battles at Cross Roads-old Boynton
Academy. I am always glad to learn
of the success of the school at these
spots of my boyhood days:
when bounding boyhood knew no grief;
But gamboled in the breeze
That tossed about his silken curls.'
With best wishes for your future
success and happiness, I ask to re-
main, Yours fraternally.

to inquire into the labor contract sJs-

Visits His Boyhood's Home.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
A recent visit to the domicile Of my
boyhood days, the venerable spot
where I first saw the light of day
and where the blue skies bent over
ne in my childhood in the southern
portion of Lexington county, furn-
ished food for thought on the strik-
ing contrast Of the many changes
of the present from that of the re-
cent past, some of which I shall pro-
ceed to briefly mention.
The great Southern Railway now
courses it's main line from the North
to the 'sLand of Flowers"-Florida
through this section. Where but
recently large areas ct woodland,
and where q sacred silence seemed
to pervade pure and congenial at
mosphere, is now to be heard the
sound of the woodman's axe and the
crack Of the teemster's whip, mingled
with the laundering roar of the
ponderous locomotive. The whole
sale distinctions Of the beautiful
pine forests in 8 great many places
in that section, wrought by the recent
productive industry of the turpentine
d;stillery, the saw mills and the cross
tie maker, is the most striking phe-
nomenon that the casual observer
witnesses in so so far as physical
matamorphoses are concerned. Es-
pecially is this the case near Pelion
Station and just east of Cedar creek,
on the Estate formerly owned by
the Messrs. Sawyers, but more re-
Gently by Mr. James G. Fort, then
divers others. Here was once to be
seen, and recently, immense forests
Of beautifully timbered land; vast
stretches of magnificent Southern
pines in all their original grandeur
and love!iness, suggestive of the
primitive ages, of the long ago, the
'seternal past" that had stood like
sentinels, perchance nigh on to nine
teen hundred years ago when the
stars Of glory shone down upon the
watching shepherds proclaimipg
peace on earth and good will to men.
What is to be seen there now? It is
indeed somewhat with sadness that
one beholds the change. Those beau
tiful, giant-like forest pines, with
their undulating boughs of green,
famed by the evening breeze, in
which resound the hum Of the sun
down or twilight locust in June time,
have nearly oil been destroyed. A
barren spectacle not unlike that of
some lonely desert is now indeilibly
mirriored there. Where once were
beauty and fourisbipg vegetation is
now to be seen decay, oblivion and
forestry desolation and extinction
hence one is made to realize the true
sentiments of that old school decla-
NATION verse, namely:
s'Woodman spare that tree,
Touch not single bough;
In youth it sheltered me.
And III protect it now."
I am glad to note, however, that
on the homestead of this writer
owned by Mr.. Calvin R. Sturkic, slsc
on a few other tracts of realty o!
that vicinity-notably one adjacent
to Cross Roads church possessed by
the Hon. S. P. Wingard of youl
town, are still to be seen beautiful
and valuable timbered forests. Blu

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat OF an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisous In
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action OF the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance IS the price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.

with dis6guring eruption on her face. which

the time TIE first bottle finished the ption
began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth:
She is now seventeen years old. and not q sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
