EXIT THE WANDERER. "Poor Conrad" Tells Why He Decided | lo Sell ihe Boat. ^ (K?c*ivv?l t?. I.. .) Editor County !I <>rii:? I wish to infillm the readers of The County Record, my friends and lovers of the good boat "Wanderer" that it was sold Monday to Mr Wade Camliu. I think some others were interested in the trade, but MrCamlin made the bargain with me. it was onitf a sad oartinsr with me and ! I i o i the boat, as I was very proud of her j and am satisfied that it is a good j boat for this river. No one can imagine the feelings that came over me after I stepped out of the boat, laying my little belongings ou the ground and casting my eyes dimmed with tears ou the Wanderer as she wheeled out into the stream, puffing a downward course to her new laudiug. The Wanderer has behaved nobly siuci she was lauuehed and until her departure, and 1 thank all who have spoken many woids of praise for the boat that served them faithfully. I l.MAm 4-K.it mrt?w ranr??Af f liof if ic ! fiuun liJUl lliau > niii iuut Ik ig uncertaiu that the Wanderer will ever be moored again at Kiugstree landing; and none will be so sorry as I by half. I had. more than one reason for parting with the boat, but the main cause was the depredations that were committed almost every day and the crowning act of villainy was that some malicious person took the spark coil out ot the boat '.nd 1 am satistied that it was thrown into the river, :4S it was torn out in a hurry and all of the couuectmg wires for which I had lately paid a high price were torn off at different places. Why auyone should do such an uuealled for deed is past my understanding. I had done no one any harm, had no Innr rvnf u?itk onr^rm anil an I VUV n i Irii (tuj VUV.JUUU ?uvu ww act is enough to make anyone wonder, living iu what is called a civilized country. I do notthiukfora X moment that it was doae by a grown person. I feel confident that it was some badly raised boy or boys living in Kingstree,as I believe it was done by a b?y that was in the river swimming, who swam up to the side of the boat, reached over and pulled the coil box loose. I believe I can point within a few feet of where it lies on the bottom of the river in water 12 feet deep. I will now tell that dear boy or his father or mother may tell it where he can hear it (although they may think that their son would not L- do Such), that 1 bought a new spaik * coil which cost only nineteen dollars. The Wanderer made a fine trip to Georgetown and after we installed the new coil made the return trip to Kingstree in 16 hours. Mr Camlin came up last Friday and engaged me to go witn the boat to his lauding about 40 miles below this place aud we left here Saturday afternoon and reached there about sunset. Mr Camlin and some of his friends wanted to take a Fourth of July trip to the Georgetown waterworks and return same day, but owing to the late start we did not go farther } than Piue Tree landing. The passengers were several gentlemen, with their wives and children,and we had a nice trip aud all enjoyed the ride.

Perhaps your readers would be interested in some things gleaned as I journeyed through the eastern sectiou of the old North State. I left Kingstree 011 No 78 June 30 for this place for the purpose of assisting Uncle Sam in a stupendous drainage project. But for the sake of consistency will discuss things in order. Nothing of particular interest wa9 noted until tue morning of the first day of July when the slanting rays of the sun on a nearby roof aroused me from a four hour sleep which I* lisd much anticipated and received at the Hammond House. As soon as breakfast could be had and fiuished a ticket was in order for the next stop in my journey, which I came to recognize as of the hit-aud-n~ From the car window North Carolina farmers ?iv pending much on cotton for a livV'.. hood. Where one would expect to see corn and cotton he sees corn and peauuts. The corn in the entire section traversed shows plainly that there has been insufficient drainage aud that the locality has had extraordinary raiufall. The top is greeu and etrtll-3 hip (rood size hut the bottoms are firing. The peanut crop is extensive (as common as cotton in Williamsburg) but this crop, too, is much behind that in South Caroliua; however, I was to'd that yields of 50 to 100 bushels were expected, 85 bushels beiug about the average for good lands. The crop brings 50c to $1 per bushel at the factory. Factories are in several towns in the peanut belt, so that the farmers are relieved of what to do without the "nigger", who is noticeably absent from the fields of this section. I was surprised not to find tobacco on every plantation. The fact is, I saw only one small field of this crop and that apparently a very light one. The farmers arc several points ahead of those in Williamsburg, however, in the matter of providing forage and the general planting of leguminous crops. Every held has its corn, cowpeas (or soy beans) and peanuts. The lands are somewhat rolling and generally very sandy but apparently productive. Farms have good houses and good fences. More next week.

No Rest Day or Night "I would lay awake for hours without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells of nervousness. After taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep well, and the nervous spells have left me." MISS ALMA HUG, R. R, No. 4, Canal lJover, unio. Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine because it soothes the irritable nerves, and restores nervous energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. .Take it all according to directions, and if it docs not benefit he will return your money. WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
