Saturday, concluding to spend the time until our appointment at Pelion on Tuesday with the good people ot the Edisto section, through the kindness of our friend, Mr. Clarence Jefcoat, the efficient and accommodating rural carrier on route 3, from Swansea, we took a seat in his automobile over his route to his enviable home, where we enjoyed a substantial dinner with himself and family. Fronr there we continued on the route to the home of our friend, G. Johnso. King, one of the successful farmers of this section. He is a model farmer, making about 60 bales of cotton, together with plenty of corn, peas, potatoes, etc. His place is an ideal one. By special invitation we spent two day 8 with this clever gentleman and his noble wife?one that is a pride to the home. While here we took the opportunity of passing through many of the fertile and valuable plantations ; on the Edisto, among them "Urb" Jefeoat's, L. S. Hooker, W. Q. Jackson and a number of others. These plantations now under the improved system of farming yield a bale of cotrun to the acre, and corn in propor tion The people enjoy farm life, owning, as they do, good horses and mules, fine buggies, etc. They live at home and are independent. What can be better than this life with plenty of everything?barns full, meat in the smoke-house, cash to meet expenses and ample bank deposits for the ''rainy day," On Sunday Mr. King extended courtesies and kindnesses to us beyond expression, accompanying us in his buggy to visit some of our friends, among them Mr. Thomas Craft, a life-long friend and subscriber to The Dispatch Mr. Craft is as honest as the days are long and a most clever gentleman, T*: the atteraoon we visited our rriend. A. Mid Reed, at hi9 pretty and comfortable home on his fine plautaoou, where we were del<ghtad to meet hi9 good wife and 'wo lovable little childion. Prone 10 leave them we return ed to Mr. King's.

Tuesday we m^t the auditor at Pelion where we usually meet a large crowd of taxpayers. These people made ^ood returns and did i it forget j the editor. Here enjoyed an ex- ^ 09S COXPA1 F, JE., ronage. Poiite and Pr< - jcehent dinner at the home of Mr. L. ^V. Wise. Mrs. Wise is a fine cook and a good house-keeper. 7- Jit 4 o'clock we boarded the train fbr:8teedman, where we spent the night verv nlftflsantlv at th? rtnntPr hotel. After dinner we drove to Samaria. We are always glad to see Mr. W. Westmoreland and fam ly. Butyfew people turnedout here. We went to Batesburg by train. Ti.is town i9 known far and wide as one of the best business places between Columbia and Augusta. The merchants and.people generally are courteous and clever. Here the auditor ia always kept busy. Trade was lively, but little off, as usual, after the holidays. The merchants are sanguine over the prospects for a prosperous year. Her enterprises are in a healthy ow?wo ouu oic pftjr 1LI? lttl?C UIVIUeXJUB. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Jno. Bell To will for kindnesses shown in serving ns with a most excellent dinner. We found Col. Towill busy in The Enterprise office. He is isendin^ 1 ont a splendid county paper. We met Mr. Bayly, but did not have time to call at The Advocate office. His business is good. j At 5:20 we boarded the train for Leesville, and, truthfully, we are always glad to be with these people. They are cleyer and always make ns feel at home. Leesville is a good business place and receives her share of trade. It is one of the educational centres and has one of the largest schools in the State under the supt * vision ot Prof. L. M. Bauknight, with a corps of able assistants. While iu | Leesville we were guests at Kward's hotel, one of the best in the laud, and here the editor always feels at home. The drummers all delight to stop at Kinard's hotel. At Summit the attendance was small and we were soon off for Gilbert where a much larger crowd met us and where the returns were good. Gilbert is growing in business. Lots of cotton, together with produce of every kind, are marketed here. The merchants carry large stocks and sell goods at right prices. I Our next point is Irmo on Monday aftertfbon. We hope to meet large crowds all through the Fork. G. M. Harm an. Attend the big Auction Sale of Town Lota in Chapiu, S.

Vote Soon On Free Bridges The question whether an election >hall be held to issue bonds for the purpose of ''freeing'> the bridges will oe passed on at an early date. If the necessary majority of freeholders fa vor the election the bond issue matter will be decided about the middle of March. The petition is now with County Attorneys Clarkson & Clarkson. The movement to "free" the bridges has been before the people for several years. The election will be to deciae on an issue of $75,000 in bonds to either build new bridges or purchase the present structures spanning the Congaree and Broad rivers. Tne act of 1908 under which the election will be held is complete, prescribing definitely what the procedure shall be and providing for the appointment of a commission which is to determine the course should the majority of the voters declare in favor of freeing the bridges. A section formerly of Lexington county recently voted to annex t<^ Richland.
