Swansea is a hustling town, back
ed up by a fine farming country and
bas a bright future. After u days
wol < was completed, We left at 4 p.
m, and turned in at the home of our
kinsmau, MI. J. West Grim, where
we spent a pleasant night and were
we'll cared for. The cheerful oak
fire in the large old-time fire place
was indeed a luxury. The next
morning We pulled out for Red Store,
in Sandy Run, having to face the
cold biting winds of the approach
ing blizzard, which was whistllng the
death knell of many a fire "porker."
Nearly all of the usual tax payers
met US here with some additional
recruits and the collection was better
than formerly. The printer Was
occasionally remembered and made
to feel that his labors were not in
vain. The crops ia this section and
all along Congaree river were very
short, especially king cotton, but the
people generally will pull through.
We enjoyed, as usual, one of Mrs.
Muller's excellent dinners. We were
pleased to find her el 'ying good
health and taking life easy. Friend
Lee, was a little "blue," but whether
on account of short crops or Il recent
'tilt" with his best girl We are un-
able to say. However, it was with
reluctance that we parted with these
good and kind people.
We spent Thursday night with our
friend Archie Wolfe and MIR. and
Mrs. Herbert Geiger. II is needless
to say that we were er ,yably enter
tanned, for indeed We would not feel
that we had been to Sandy Run with
out a visit to this ideal Southern
home, where the Weary traveller
always meets a hearty welcome.
Friday morning, cold and bracing,
we drove to MI. W. N. Martin where
We have many times shared the. hos
pitality of him and his good wife.
Very few tax payers met US here.
Saturday morning, We opened up
in the City" of New Brooklsnd.
Collections were good here and the
Treasurer was kept busy until late in
the afternoon before be could pack his
grips, and start back for cd Lexing-
ton.
Brooklsnd is already the largest
town in the county and lie co%nsinuing
to make rapid strides on the road of
progress. New buildings are con-
ssautly going up, trade lie lively and
largely on a cash basis by reason of
the fact that the mill operatives are
paid off weekly. The merchants all
seem to be doing q good, business and
are dreaming that within a few short
years Horse Shoe Lake" will be the
center of Brookland's population.
Along the route of our weeks
travels, We found that the cotton crop
was fairly good, except along Conga-
rec river. Corn, peas and forage plen-
tiful. The farmers generally seemed
be prospecting and with a few more
such years will be out of debt with a
suficiency of this worlds goods.

THE MULES MANY LIVES.
he Had the Chambers and His Owner Undertook
to KilI Him and Failed.
Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer
Monroe, N. c., April 3.-The dreadful
disease that has been responsible for the
loss of some fine stock throughout this
county CHAMBERS, is now somewhat under
control. The following is a little eX
pcrience that Spencer Richardson had
with a brute a few days since:
Spencer had a mule which had gland
ders and it was decided that the mule
should be killed. Spencer took his mule
off in the woods and struck it a terrible
blow on the head with an axe, and, as he
thought, killed it, but after its would be
slayer left, the mule came to and got up
and went back to it's stable. The owner
of the mule did not like that coming back
to life at all, and proceeded to take the
mule off to be KILLED again" The sec
end attempt at killing the beast was
with a determination to so completely
finish the job that there would never be
any more signs of life, although That
mule might have as many lives as cat
Therefore, Spencer gave the mule ire
mendous blow or the head with an axe
The mule fell, apparently very dead but
il was not long until the mule was back
a home and startled its owner by loud
and healthy bray. Spencer was alarmed
bv this time, and declared that his mule
had a soul and nothing would induce nm
to again attempt to take its life. The
mule was killed, but Spencer did not
kill it.
