The Election.

The election last Tuesday passed off
quietly and shows that the Republi-
can party is still in favor with the
people throughout the country, though
there are in, some States, surprising
Democratic gains, which, however,
were Offset by Republican victories in
States heretofore considered soidly
Democratic.
Hughes (Rep,) was elected Cover
nor of New York, over Hearst Dem
by about 1900 majority, while the
remainder of the State ticket is prob
ably Democratic by from 5000 to
10000 majority.
Senator Met Creary, of Kentucky was
defeated for reelection by Governor
Beckham, who will have, the distinc-
tion of being the youngest man in the
Senate.
The House of Representatives will
be Republican by 4S majority as COM
pared to majority of 112 in the pres
ent house. The Senate will be Re-
publican by two-thirds majority.
The election in this State resulted
in the usual Democratic victory,
though the vote was disappointingly
small.
Dsntzler, the negro, who run against
Congressman Lever, did not get a
hundred votes in the district, and it is
believed he will not have the hardi-
hood to make the usual contest.

On the Rounds.

For thirty years we have been TAX
ing the rounds with the tax officers OF
the county. They were good men,
but alas. some of them have been
called to their reward.
These trips are always pleasant,
and the longer we live the more we
are impressed with the good citizen
ship, the hospitality and genuine
kindness of the people of old Lexing'
ton. God bless them, and may the
coming years be full of prosperity and
happiness for them.
Leaving home last Wednesday
morning, bright and early, we reached
CASTOR about 10 a. m. We met an
unusally small crowd. CASTOR, though
not on a boom, is still doing nice
business and backed as it is by sturdy
farmers around in the community has
good prospects for the future. Messrs.
Castellor Goodwin and P. E. Hutto &
Co. are doing lively trade.
Soon, we are hustling on our way to
Mack's, the cool, pleasant breezes,
getting us in good shape to shake
hands with that splendid gentle
man and true friend, j. w. Reed
er, at the crossroads. At Mack's,
we found the usual crowd of orderly,
good natured and satisfied taxpayers,
who contribute their share to the
government without complaint.
The evening shadows found US at
the hospitable home of that sub
stantial citizen and prosperous man,
R. E. Mack, whose amiable wife
Joined her husband in bidding us
genuine welcome.
The thriving town of Swansea en-
gagged our attention the next day, and
here we found a large crowd of people
anxious to discharge their obligations
both to the tax-gatherer and ye
Editor.
Considering the bad crops, the bust
ness of this town, in the hands of
wide-awake and courteous business
men, is about all that could be ex-
pected. The town has a substantial
and steady growth, and will continue
to grow with the strong back country
to draw from.
Our kinsman and friend, ]. w. Grim,
made us feel as though we were be-
meath our own vine and fig tree for
the night.
Despite the terrible calamity which
has befallen them in the way of bad
crops, the people at Red Store turned
out in mass and the collections were
especially large.
We found New Brookland a resur-
rected city. New and good brick
buildings take the places of the wood.
en- ones burned down, and nice cot
tages for the operatives take the pla'

The entire appearance Of the town is
improved and there seems to be new
life and vigor in every one.
Fires may be, and usually are, ex.
pensive visitors to town, and yet
out of the ashes, invariably better
town grows. Messrs. Shull and Wes
singer have about completed hand
some two-story brick building, with
four commodious store rooms on the
first floor, and suitable rooms above
for hotel or residential purposes
The building will cost between S,00(
and $40, 900.

mode of punishment will have a ten
dency to decrease the number OF par
ties charged with this offense, and
thereby lessen the evil.
III. We find a complaint in some Sec
hons of the county that the road over
seers are derelict in their duty in
that they fail and neglect to remove
the fallen trees in the roads, and we
recommend that unless this is attend
ed to with all convenient speed, the
Board of County Commissioners take
some drastic steps to make them do so.
~. We recommend that the Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners open up
and maintain, as all other public
roads, a public highway from the
Court House to the County Poor
House, there being now no such, and
the road there is not in good shape.
v. We are glad to say that the Su-
pervisor has commenced the erection
of the iron fence around the Court
House Square, such as was recon-
mended by us to be done at the Janu-
ary term.
VI. We are glad to note the de-
crease of adultery cases reported in
the county since our Presentment of
good many, and we recommend
that all officers and good citizens
keep viglant eye upon this class of
people and report them if such goes
on.
VII. Werecommend that all peace
officers and good citizens keep on the
lookout and report, or indict, all par
ties who carry concealed weapons.
We find that a great many of the
crimes committed are due to the fact
that the parties, or at least one of
them, have concealed weapon about
them, and we are anxious that this
vicious habit among the whites, as
well as the colored, be lessened as
much as possible.
VIII. We have passed on all the
bills handed us by the Solicitor and
returned the same to the Court with
our endorsement thereon.
TX. We thank the Court and all
the Officers for their kindness and
courtesy towards us.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

show the proper spirit it of progress.
We spent the night with our nephew,
J.. E.. Earhard of Columbia.
Though we find the crops have been
short this year, particularly cotton,
the corn showing better, still the
scarcity of labor is seen in some Sec
tions, where considerable cotton re-
mains to be picked. The pea crop is
almost a complete failure and you
had better be on the lookout for seed
for next year. The potato crop is
fine.
This week we start at Pelion and
will take in our thriving R. r. towns
the latter part of the week.
