Gaston Echoes. To the Ehtor of the Dispatch. The past week has been favorable I to the farmer who drove Boon ai d late, making good time with teiliDg effect on General Green. Some of oar farmers have the old gentleman about captured, while others have not as yet dictated terms. The crops are looking fairly well taking everything into consideration. Some have planted cotton over, while others plowed up the cotton and put in corn instead. In our last communication we stated that J. H. Price and J. P. Goodwin bad purchased the mercantile business of P. E. Hutto at this place. Since the penning of that article we are reliably informed that the sale was not effected and jence P. E Hutto will continue the business at this place with C. H. Hartley as head manager. The health of our town and community at present is very good. Sheriff Corley was seen in these parts recently serving notice on delinquent tax payers, and you may bet your boots the handsome gentleman was not very warmly and cordially walcomed. We notice other school districts calling elections to vote on the two milf extra school tax. This is a step in the right direction. It is trne our taxes are high and getting higher bat when this small sum is added to the funds to educate the youth of the land, who are to be the men and women of tomorrow; don't see how any sane person can object. We need better school houses and they better equipped with desks, blackboards, maps, charts, etc., and last but not least, better teachers. These can be secured by paying more money and the money can be had by this extra levy and none will fe-J it. As for the negro, give him his pro ? _ _ ? rata, i. e. give lulu wubi* uo pa jo. The districts that fail to provide this extra levy are going to woefully regret it in the near future. The new county fad keeps bobbing up here and there. There are men enough in the proposed territory to be cut from Lexington with good common horse sense?grey horse sense?enough to know how to vote. Notice the promoters of these New County schemes! Generally they are either, or all, a lawyer, doctor, merchant or a politician, or some one with political aspirations. We'll get the county my mercantile business will increase; Til have a law office there, my clients will be more numerous; I'll run for office and move to town and the poor man with the hoe has to toil and sweat to support them with his tax increased. Lexington is doing well, and we would say, gentlemen, let her alone. "Life is not ours to shame; not ours for play; Not ours in idle ease to dream away; But ours for whatever work God sends? "KV?f? fa.if.hfnl aarvi^a nnfn nnhlft 1 ends." Success, 8Dd no new county from old Lexington. May 25, 1905. Billy Felix. Detailed to Paris. Columbia Evening Record. Capt.
