Lexington Dirt.

There is just now great activity
in the real estate market. Quite a
number of desirable building lots
have recently been placed on the
market which are finding q ready
sale at fancy price. In this connec-
ton We ara informed that other val
liable property, which has heretofore
been bottled up by reason OF the
unwillingpess of the owners to dis
pose of it, will be divided into lots and
placed on the market. We under.
stand that many of the purchasers
of these lots are people from a dis
tance who have been attracted to our
little village by it's heslthful climate
and excellent educational advantages.

Bull Swamp Briefs.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

The rainfall has been unusually
heavy for some time past, doing
considerable damage to roads and
washing away the surface of rolling
lands and damaging crops to some
extent. The weather has been very
hot and cotton has improved con.
siderably the last few weeks.
On the night of August the 3rd,
the heavy rain broke the mill dam Of
Mr.. B.. r. Goodwin, of Swanses,
undermining his grist and -four
mill house, causing heavy loss TO
Mr.. Goodwin and greatly inconven-
fencing the public generally. Mr..
Goodwin is repairing the damages as
rapidly as possible.
Mr.. J. I. Laird, who has been suf-
ferlng from acute rheumatism, We
are glad to say is on the mend.
Mr.. Sampson Jefcoat has been quite
i'll for some time. His friends earn.
estly hope that he may soon be
restored to permanent health.
Mr.. Willie D. Jefcoat, of Orange
burg county, has placed a beautiful
monument at the grave of his wife
at the Antioch church cemetery.
Mr.. Thomas L. Martin has the
finest acre of corn in this section of
the county. It will yield from 60 to
IS bushels and is the result of intense
fertilization and scientific cultivation.
Mrs. James Caughman and daugh-
ters are visiting relatives and friends
in the Hollow Greek section.
Fodder pulling is in order and the
farmers view the heavens with dry
faces. Civis.

Family Reunion.

There was reunion of the children,
the grandchildren and the great
grandchildren of that venerable pa
triarch, Mr.. S. Luther Smith, at his
home in the Fork, Tuesday. Mr..
Smith is a highly respected and pub
lie spirited citizen of this county
and his days have been long and full
of honor. He is the father of one
son and five daughters, as follows:
Mr.. Charlie Smith, and Mrs. Jake j.
Buckley and Mrs. G.. A. Derrick, Of
this place; Mrs. Perry Fulmer and
Mrs. Jacob J. Ballentine, of the Fork,
each of whom has q large family,
and an unmarried daughter. The
people of this county certainly take
no stock in the race suicide" theory.

A Valuable Water Power.

One among the most valuable
water powers in this State is in Lex.
ington county, six miles west OF the
city of Columbia, in healthy COM
munity.
It is on what is known as the
waters of BERRY" creek, coming into
Congaree creek at or near Sty1' a
station on the Southern railroad.
This stream comes out of what is
known as Sand Mountain and has a
steady flow of pure clear water.
This stream when forced in close
banks is from four to five feet deep
and about eighteen or twenty feet
wide with a swift and rapid How.
This is magnificent stream of water
with good fall sufficient to produce
unknown power if properly devel-
oped.
This stream has been examined by
experts as to it's quality for bleaching,
and proved quite satisfactory. Es-
pecially go as it takes unusual rains
to muddy the water in the least, CON-
ing as it does from sand Mountain
and flowing through a white sandy
country.
It has been favorably spoken OF as
being used to supply the City OF
Columbia with water, as it is per-
fectly pure and clear.
This stream flows through what ls
generally known as the Robertson
lands, but now owned by the heirs OF
John W. Connor, deceased.
Parties wishing to invest in water
powers in this State, looking towards
developing them, or for speculation,
would do we'll to examine and survey
this stream.
For information apply to Jas. W.
Connor, Macon, S. c., or Chas. W.
Connor, Lennon, Fla.
