Iu sleet, rain and snow. we left at
about 8 o'clock for our friend Elias

made by the Auditor in the Fork.
We spent the night with Mr.. Metze
and we're made to feel at home, and
after completing the mornings work
here, on account of high water, We
teft for home about o'clock, by way
Of Broad river bridge and Columbia.
This instance and inconvenience to
others, is another argument in favor
OF bridging the Ssluda. This river
is dividing line between our people
and if We were to build couple of
bridges it would bring them into
closer communion with each other
and thus solidify our county. This
is an Improvement the times demand
and we should not lag behind, but
get in the forefront of the march of
progress. We can do it without bur.
denipg ourselves, as Independent as
our county is, then why not? It is
only question of getting together
and doing it.
We would have liked very much to
have went up on Hollow Greek this
week, but our Office business would
not permit our doing so.
In all of our rounds we found the
county generally in a prosperous con-
dition. Not in years have We seen 80
many bales of cotton lying around in
farmers yards. We hope the people
will not be over joyed and put in too
large crop this year and run the
price down. All in all, the. county
is in fine condition and We congrat-
ulate the people at large.
To all who showed US courtesy on
the rounds We return hearty thanks
and best wishes.
