Curious About Corn.

An observing farmer says: There
are some curious things about corn,
and one of them is, where do the red
and speckled ears come from when
you do not plant any but white corn
And another is, why can't We frd an
ear with an odd number of rows on
it? You can find a four-leaf clover,
but you never saw an odd row on an
ear of corn yet. It is always four
teen, sixteen, twenty or some other
even number, and We would like to
know about it's mathematics and
what objection nature has in these
instances to odd numbers"

granite on Twelve Mile creek near
the town of Lexington, and on the
Saluda river few miles above the
! city of Columbis, have been tapped
by quarries that are now in constant
operation. This important industry
will soon be greatly extended, and
will embrace in the near futu1e the
extensive beds of sand stone and
kaolin in Lexington and Aiken coun-
ties; and next will come the flint hills
of the Dutch Fork, and the snowy
banks of silica sand. in the sand hills,
for the glass manufactures.
The town of Lexington is in tele-
graphic communication with all parts
of the country, and by telephone with
Columbia, Batesburg, Leesville and
the cotton mills in it's vicinity.
Large store houses and buildings for
Offices of modern style. structure, and
equipment, built of brick and wood
adorn the streets of the larger towns
of the county. Driven or bored wells,
which tap with their pipes the pure
water at depths of more than a hun
dred and fifty feet, are to be found
in town and country, ahording an
abundant supply of good and whole
some water.
In addition to the Lexington
Dispatch, published at the county
seat, in we'll equipped printing
Office, there are two or three other
newspapers in the county, all of
which disseminate the news of the
day, and discuss matters of public
interest in their respective conmuni-
ties. There are now two banks in
the county, one in Lexington, and
the other in Batesburg.
But the truth of history must be
told. There is dark side to this
bright picture. Notwithstanding all
this material and industrial progress,
development, prosperity, and improve
ment; though We have more sccumu-
lated wealth, better houses, more
and larger towns and cities, and
enjoy more of the comforts, conve-
niences, and luxuries of life; though
we have more and better schools,
colleges, and churches, which afford
better advantages ard facilities for
mental, moral, and religious culture
and consequently have more social
refinement and physical elevation in
the scale of being than ever before
in our history as people; neverthe-
less, it cannot be denied, that we
have not those high civic virtues of
reverence for truth and justice, and
that sturdy obedience to law and
patriotic devotion to the best and
highest interests of our county, which
characterized in an eminent degree
our ancestors of forty and fifty years
ago.
Some allowance, I know, must be
made for the demoralizing and de-
basing results and Influences of the
Civil war. But making that, the fact
remains, that we must have a better,
healthier, and more vigorous public
sentiment in South Carolina,
which will enforce the laws, given US
honest and more sensible election
methods, and raise the administra-
tion of the government, in all its
departments, to higher plane of
political action. The sovereign
7oters, the virture, intelligence, and
property that make up the people,
should demand Of political reformers,
performances, and not promises, and
take no denial. Conditions and en-
vironments in our State have changed
and We must adjust ourselves to
them, or be left IS laggards in the
race.

Awake from Your Lethargy
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

Perhaps Puck might say, "Wbat
fools these mortals be" but we will
refrain from this and say that it is
very surprising how one sided many
people are inclined to look at things.
They can see clearly and understand,
and everything is all right so long as
it goes their way. but they are often
narrow viewed and selfish to their
own hurt.
This certainly must be the case
with merchants, doctors, millers, etc,
Of little town when they want the
patronage of the country people and
yet do not eff)r to them even the
most necessary conveDiences and &C
commodations. The public certainly
has it's opinion of town that will
not keep public we'll where people
may drink and water their stock dur
ing these hot days of summer.
We are willing to give you our
patronage, but we like for you to
show that you appreciate it by Civ
ing US all the accommodations you
can. If you let your public wells 60
down, run out your telephone and
telegraph Offices, and shut off other
things that are convenieDces to US
when we go to your town, how can
you expect US to patronizeyou? Ifyou
are going to act thus you had just as
we'll close up your business. It
might be we'll to think of these things
and awake from your lethargy.
Country man.

Do You Remember

Do you remember how that night was sweet?
You called it sweet and something more as
we'll,
The fine white moonbeams drifted at our feet,
And nestled In each flowers trembling bell.
The followed waves came creeping to the beach,
And broke there with a joyous sound at last.
Do you remember how there was no speech?
No need for that. Our heart-beats throbbed
too fast y ss,la ,5t
A small white falling star shot through the gray,
You bid me "wish!" before it could depart.
Do you remember how 1 answered, "Nay?''
