Second Week With Treasurer.

On Monday, November Sth, we
Joined County Treasurer Wingard and
County Auditor Dent, at CASTOR for
the second week, collecting taxes,
and we are glad to say the editor was
not entirely forgotten. Castor, While
not making any great progress, Is
holding its own. Money is not so
plentiful in this vicinity, due to the
fact that the farmers haye sold their
cotton and paid their debts. They
are feeling good over the fact that
they live at home and board at the
same place. Crops around CASTOR
we're good this year, and the mer-
chants are we'll pleased with the trade
so far this fall. Mr.. CASTILLO Goodwin
is the leading merchant of the place
and carries large and we'll selected
stock. G. II. Hartley and Alex Good
win are the other merchants aud both
are receiving a fair trade. Mr.. Hartly
is still the accommodating and effici-
,ent postmaster, while our old friend,
G. A. Goadwin is the popular depot
agent. We enjoyed d bountiful dim
ner at the hoSpitaable home of Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Goodwin, with whom
we are always delighted to stop.
Having finished Our work at CASTOR,
we drove to Swansea. This is one OF
the livest and best in the county,
much business bling done the year
around. While the burnt buildings
have net all been reb1ilt, other i'm
proyements have been made. The
merchants have all Lad the best busi-
ness they have had il! years, due to
the coed crop year and the high price
Of cotton. Collections have likewise
been good at Swansea. It was our
good fortune to spend the night with
DR.. J. f.. Langford a. his comfortable
and elegant home. The doctor is
a clever man and cljoys lucrative
practice. Tuesday night we stopped
at the hotel operated by Mrs. Smith,
who knows how to serve the best OF
meas to Ter guest aud make them
feel at hone. We always delight to
visit Swansea.
On Wednesday morning we were at
Mr.. Joseph W. Reeder's,. where we
met the usual number Of taxpayers.
We enjoyed an excellent dinner which
was prepared by Mrs. Duvall.
The afternoon was spent at Mr.. j,
J. Mack's. Here the taxpayers met
US promptly. Receiving their dues
on time, we returned to Swansea for
the night. Mr.. Mack was in the best
of humor and we enjoyed our short
stay at his home.
Early Thursday morning MIR. r. L.
Lybrand carried the tax officers across
to Pelion in his speeding automobile.
At Pelion the taxpayers turned out
we'll and collections were good. We
dined at the home Of Mr.. l.. w. Wise.
Mrs. Wise is an ideal housekeeper,
and it is always privilege to enjoy
the hospitality of these clever people.
The school is in charge of Prof. M. D.
Fulmer, a graduate of Newberry col
lege. and is growing.

In the afternoon we boarded the
train for Steedman. The night. was
spent with Mr.. w. Gunter, ohc knows
how to make the stranger feel at
home. The school here is taught by
that charming and accomplished
young woman, Miss Blanche Ky2er,
of Lexington, who is giving general
satisfaction.
Friday afternoon was spent at Sa-
maria, where we were in the hands of
our genial friend, VIM. Westmorelalld.
But few people met us here. After
enjoying bountiful supper at the
home of Mr.. WestmorelaDd, We left
for Batesburg. Miss May E. Crouch
is teaching thriving school at Sama-
ria.
Saturday we were at Batesburg all
day. This town is ever growing, both
in business and population. There is
no town in the state that has more
progressive people than Batesburg,
and the stocks of merchandise would
do cred, to any city.

Description of the
NV Three-P age
Wall Chart

Everything connected with this
chart is based on an experience Of
many years Of catering to the public
requirements. 1t is safe to say the
arrangement of maps and pages can
not be improved in any mamcr. The
old style map sold by agents is print
ed on two sides. One is in view for
close examination and the other side
is seldom referred to, as few people
think Of turning the map to seek in
formation, and then the old style
maps are 50 hung that it is often in
convenient to turn the reversible
map.
A casual glance at this new chart
will demonstrate the ease with which
any part Of it can be consulted. Sim
ply lift the sheet and You can refer
to amy of the maps or data contained
in it without any trouble whatever.
Information printed on the back of
the sheets is so arranged that it is aS
accessible on the back as the front,
and altogether this chart presents
combination difficult to SurpaSS-in
fact, the only thing of its kind and
embracing the best possible cngrav-
ing that can be procured.
The Jackson herald., 1909-02-25

supertluous to speak of the use of
such map, as it is of daily need in
every Office and home. In fact. it is
as necessary as any of the other
maps, to keep one in touch with
happenings in our own country as
daily discussed by the papers. In
connection with this are shown pic
lures of the presidents, statistical
matter of useful information, and on
the reverse of this list of our most
important towns and their growth in
the last three census periods.
This combination chart is, as we
have before stated, ideal in it's con-
ception and in the nature of its con-
tents. Each page is worth $l.00 to
you, and in no other manner can
you place the maps in the moderate
amount OF space required by this.
Altogether it is something that YOU
not only need but that you can find
use for, not only for yourself, but
for the family. As an educator for
children it is unsurpassed. They will
be made curious by its attractiveness
and will study it at leisure from
time to time, thus deriving more
benefit even than from their geo
graphical exercises at school. 1t is
well to say that each of these maps
embraces more data than the ordi-
nary wall map, which you know is

This shows what is by far the best

possibly obtain. made from the latest

when sold in the usual way by can
vassers. Beauty Of coloring, clear
ness of type and beauty of general
appearance make this very attract

easy to find places by using the in

has been to show more towns than
ever been represented on similar en-

counties, and township and range
numbers and lines wherever such
lines are surveyed. Congressional
