Chain Gang W ork.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I have been observing the chain
gang while camped near me. What
Mr.. Buckley likes in ability he makes
up in industry, if he is liking. The
remark is commonly msde, that it
does not pay TO run the gang. That
depends altogether in the manage
ment. If they will only work on
such roads as the three hands can
prepare for the machine to work and
as much as the mules will stand to
work, they can work from three
fourths of q mile to mile per day.
The cost would be less than ten
dollars per mile. There is plenty of
such road to keep them working for
some time. It would be cheaper to
hire free laborers, where pick and
shovels have to be used. The feed
bill of six mules will hire three
hands. I think it would be economy
to skip such roads as the machine
cannot be used on.

Billy Felix's Letter.

70 the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The past week has been a record
breaker as we'll as record maker.
Old Sol seemed to have turned loose
all his pent up forces upon this mum
dane sphere of ours.
Fodder pulling has been under
full sway the past week; had fine
weather for curing, but too miserably
hot to pull it.
Cotton has commenced opening
during these scorching days. Soon
the hum of the gin will be heard
and then the jingle of the silver
dollar and that aching void in the
editors heart longing for the ''cart
wheel" will grow more intense and
excruciating. Some of our farm.
ers are complaining of the hate
ful, pesty boil weevil. Says one that
already he has lost a bale from the
effects of the evil. He's not large
farmer either. Should this damage
be great it will enhance the prices of
cotton. The writer gives it as his
opinion that the damage has been
brought about by the incessant
heavy rains of q few days ago.
There was so much rain till the bolls
became thoroughly saturated with
water and the intense heat caused it
to shrink on one side and take the
rot.
Our jolly depot agent tips the
scales now over two hundred and
eighty pounds. He has a young hog,
not yet II months old, which will
pull 800 pounds, or there abouts says
some: Hes our old. piney woods
stock. It goes to show what can be
done with the proper quantity and
quality Of feed.
Mr.. A. J. Lucas and some mem
bers of his family who have been
sick are able to be up and out again.
Mrs. A. B. Goodwin, of Irene, is
visiting her sister, Mrs. G.. W. Sight
Ter.

The agitstors of the new county
scheme of Wagner is still at work
in promoting the scheme. This pro-
position has been once before defeat
ed by a large majority, and unless
there has been great change in
public sentiment, which we are salts
fed there has not been, it will be
defeated again. Our information is
that the people of this county resid-
ing in the territory proposed to be
cut off do not want to leave old
Lexington.

The members Of the Kneisel Quartet,
Franz Kneisel, J. Theodorowicz, Louis
Svecenski and Alvin Schroeder, have sew
cred their connection with the Boston
