this town are also we'll cared for by
Prof. J. r T. Major, who has been
imminently successful in his work.
Thursday night we were delight
fully entertained at Kinsrds Hotel
in LeesVille. This hotel is enjoying
we'll deserved popularity. Its
rooms are commodious and well kept
and the table fare pnexcelled. Lees
vile is an important point for the
Auditor. The taxpayers turned out
in large numbers to assess their
property. Leesville is we'll develop
ed all.round town. It has excellent
commercial and educational advan-
tages and is an attractive place to
live. The business men and people
generally in and about Lsesville are
in fne condition. Since our last
visit bank has been organized at
this place and is doing a fine busi-
ness. This is an indication of the
community's prosperity. Dr.. L. B.
Etheredge, new conner in Leesville,
is erecting brick store along side Of
the bank building. Like Batesburg
Leesville has an excellent and pains

The following night we spent in
Summit at the hospitable home of
Mrs. Shealy. We were delightfully."-
entertained at this home until we
left the next day. Considering every
thing the Auditor spent busy day
here, starting bright and early. We
fonnd the News Letter at the same
old stand, presided over by W. A.
Hare, who is also railroad and ex.
press agent at this point. About
the only store is that Of Hartley
Bros, and it enjoys a fine trade.
Summit is holding its own, but not
progressing much.
The next and last point made by
Us was Gilbert. Although the last
this is by no means the least impor-
tant point There was good turn
out to'meet the Auditor. The pros
porous merchants we found were T.
S. Sease, W. b. Donly and Pierce
Leaphart, who carry q complete and
full stock of goods. Gilbert, though
a small point, has fine school under
the management of Prof. Lindler.

people Of this community turned ont
in such numbers as to keep the off.
GERS taking tax returns quite busy all
day. The people in and about Pelion
are prosperous and happy. The
trade Of the merchants has been very
good and bids fair to continue 30. II
was our pleasure to dine with our
friend, d. +. Shumpert, where We
were treated to q snmptuous dinner.
Late in the afternoon when the work
of the day was over the Auditor left
to spend the night with Mr. John W,
Scofield, and We were carried off to
the Eome Of our old and treasured
friend, John j. McC Cartha, on Black
Greek, where we were made happy.

place. but hes since purchased the
business Of Wm. Westmoreland.
In the afternoon we left for Bates
burg and on arriving there. went
direct to the home of our good old
friend, DR.. W. "a. Zimmerman, where
We spent the night. The doctor is
one of the most substantial and
trustworthy citizens in the county
and is thoroughly familiar with gov
ernmental affairs. The general wave
of prosperity that has swept over
the South did not pass Batesburg By.
Its business interests have improved
wonderfully. Brick buildings have
gone up g@lore. The cotton factory
has increased its capacity, and under
the leadership of DR.. Zimmerman a
new bank has been organized and is
doing an excellent business. The
name of this new institution is the
Citizens Bank. The First National
Bank is also located there. It can
be safely said that Batesburg is one
