The Editor On the Rounds.

On Monday afternoon, January
26th, We left home to renew our tour
of the county, our objective point
being the home Of Mr.. R. F Keisler.
where We spent the night pleasantly
and enjoyed his unboupded hospital
ity. Mr.. Keisler is first class bust.
ness man and successful farmer.
Tuesday morning found us serving
the good people at Craps Mill, now
Mr.. Ed. Addy's. Mr.. Addy has
greatly improved the cid place and
is conducting a nice little mercantile
business in connection with his mill
and farm interests.
After travelling over some misera-
bly, rough roads below Leesville and
Batesburg We arrived at the latter
place in time to ascertain the wealth
of the people of that town and sur
rounding country during the after
noon. We called at the Advocate
Office and epjoyed q pleasant chat
with the accomplished foreman. Mr..
Whittier, who is capable printer
and an all round good fellow. That
night We rested our tired body at
the Batssburg Hotel-the haven Of
the weary traveller. DR.. Boatwfght
is in charge OF this hotel and is
polite and attentive to his guests.
The fare furnished is first class, the
rooms nicely furnished and the beds
fresh and clean. We spent the next
day in interviewing the business men
and chatting with our country cou-
sins who had come to town to meet
the Auditor. Bstesburg is inhabited
| by a set of as high toned, refined and
Christian people as can be found
anywhere in this wide world and it's
business men are wideawake and
progressive. The place is noted for
the culture, refinement and accom-.
plishment of its ladies and the gal
lansry of it's men. It is one of the
county's business centres and is a
live and progressive town.
Completing our mission there We
pulled reins for Leesville, the educa-
tional centre of the county, and
rested we'll at the boarding house of
G.. Haltiwanger Rswl, where we
were the recipients of the most
thoughtful attention and the kindest
treatment from Mr.. Rawl and family.
He is conducting a boarding house
where the weary traveller receives
home like comforts and his charges
are very moderate, being only 81 per
| day. Those having occasion to stop
over in Leesville should give Mr..
Rawl call.
Leesville is anything else than a
dead town. The place is steadily

! more progress than any other place
in The county. Dwellings are btlug
built, new enterprises started and
the hum and hustle of business
! activity is seen and felt everywhere.
Its business men are enterprisiDg,
clever and courteous and all take
a lively interest in the welfare of the
town. They are not afraid to put
their time, their money and their
energy into new enterprises. The
Cotton Oil Mill, recently started
there, is success beyond all doubt
aud is q great convenience to the
farmers of the surrounding country,
% it saves them both time and ex-
pense. It is receiving a large patron
age and it's output is giving general
satisfaction. Uocle Jasper Derrick
is it's courteous bookkeeper and is
deservedly popular with its officers
and patrons. A large tobacco ware
house will be erected in time to
handle this years crop and the farm
ers of that section are preparing to
plant large crop of the weed.
There is also large planning plant
and cof6o mandatory there. It has
good back country to support the
place. The merchants all carry
large and up.to-date stocks of goods
and the place enjoys the services of
eminent physicians and the best
educational facilities
Our next place Was Summit where
We arrived in due time and stopped
at the home of Mrs. Shealy, the
mother of our popular County Treas
urer, where We were nicely treated.
Mrs. Shealy is one of these motherly
souls whose heart pulsates only with
kindness and sympathy for those
who are fortunate enough to share
her generous hospitality. We called
on Brother Hare, of Our News-Let-
ter, and found him industriously
pushing the pencil and sticking type.
He is getting up neat and newsy
sheet which is we'll printed.
At Lewiedale we met a large crowd
of taxpayers who came to make a
just return of their earthly posses
sions and the time was taken up in
attending to them until after 5 o. N.
Tie place is holding its own and the
merchants: W. 81. Donly, T. S.
Sease and r. L. Keisler, carry large
stocks and are doing a good business
After finishing our work there we
came down to Barr's, but on account
of the indisposition of the Auditor,
who was really i'll, MIR. Wade Oswald
kindly consented to take the returns
at that place and we put out for
home where We arrived in due time.

The committee on licenses for
operating business here, has raised
the amount considers blv, but we hear
OF no general kick by the MEL
chants. They express their wiling
ness to pay the amount provided the
town authorities protect them by
imposing similar amounts upon the
numerous peddlers who are growing
fat over the earnings received and
paid out by our people.
The merchants here have expert
enced very dull month, but since
the effects of the holiday trade is
about over it is generally hoped that
February will bring about better
results.
Little Blunt, the con of Rev.

life Saturday afternoon. A large
lumber wagon was returning from

Lodge is growing rapidly in member

way and some five Or six applicants
for the next regular communication.
Our people are enthused over the
prospects for the Columb clicking

work will soon begin and thus con-
vinced the doubts" expressed by a
few.
On last Saturday afternoon Aaron
Barnes, a country negro, tiresome Of

proud of them. Not only the Kings

Of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements. as colds, influenza,
e'tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in
the stormy month of March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is 20 strengthen the sys-

system strong.

IRISH OPINION.
John Redmond Tells What He Thinks
of Balfour


London, Oct S.-Irish Nationalist
opinion of Premier Balfours recon-
structed cabinet is voiced in a tele-
gram from John Redmond. the Irish
leader, to the Associated Press, as fol-
lows:
Dublin. Oct. S-The reconstructed
cabinet is in its personnel incomparably
weaker than it was. No new man of
any mark has been added to it. Arnold
Forster is careful and Industrious. but
he is a most commonplace official.
Alfred LyttletOn is entirely unknown
outside of the cricket field.
Austen Chamberlain's promotion to
the chancellOrshiD would under other
circumstances be denounced as a job:
but it is rightly regarded as an auda-
cious. characteristic maneuver of his
father to gain Kudos from his resigna-
.tion and at the same time to keen his
grip on the cabinet.
1T goes without saying that the gov
eminent cannot last. The desertion of
the Duke of DevOnshire gave it it's
knockout blow. Whether it will meet
parliament in January or not is very
doubtful. But if it does l believe it
Will not last a week. unless the Irish
party comes to its rescue. We are not
overmuch concerned in the merits of it's
fiscal policy. What we are concerned
about IS reform of the abuses in Ire
land and the restoration of our national
government. and we do not very much
care from which English party we OBJ
tain our rights. We stand to win how
ever the situa ton develops. From now
onward believe we shall hold the bal
ance of power in the house of COM
mons. JOHN REDMOND"

y The directors meeting yesterday was
not a long one There was no opposi-
ton to the proposition to hold a fair.
Assurances We're given by exhibitors
at last years exposition that another
exposition would be we'll supported and
am investigation of this winters amuse-
ment events showed that the proposed
dates for the show would conflict with
no other entertainment of Importance.
The Exposition company has money IN
its treasury left from last year and its
two years Of experience has prepared it
for more successful operations again.
Correspondence with possible exhlb-
itors will be undertaken at once by
Manager Brigham who will also set
about the preparation of an attractive
prospectus for the Midwinter show. An
entirely new line of entertainment fea-
lures will be devised for this year and
as much variety as possible will be Sc
cured in the exhibits of manufactured
and natural products of the state. The
success of the two former expositions
under the able management of Mr.
Brigham has given the people OF To-
peka and of the state the greatest con-
fidence in the Midwinter fair so that the
prospects are very bright for the sue
cess of this winters efforts.
1--WE are going to give better show
than ever before said Manager Brig
ham today, "and we snail set ABOUT
getting ready for it at once. Our sue
cesses in previous years has assured US
that there is a field for a manufac-
turers' exposition in Topeka and our
effort shall be to perfect the ideas that
we have tried to work out in the prev
ious winter fairs The litigation of the
space at our disposal makes it impossi-
BILE for US to enlarge the scale of our
operations. But we can see places
where improvements over last year
were possible. 1t win be the purpose
to better the class of entertainments
which We're exceptionally good last
year, ard to work for pleasing effects
among the permanent displays of the
exposition. 1t will be possible to select
from wider field than was at our dis
posaI last year and the mana cement of
the fair will cooperate with the ex-
hibitors - assist them in showing their
displays to the best advantage"
