lll'-i*? 'r~ wPsNT* W' Lexiujrtoa Dispatch. The Ferry at Peak and its Con- ! '/ :*v dition. . j ' Mr.. Editor? Please allow me a j ,*4 Small space iu your colamus to state ; tbe condition of the ferry at this place. It has m>t been iu operation for at less: one ytar. About two j months ago -the merchants called a . . meeting to look after the matter aod, : after a diligeDt investigation, we ; fonod that a cltarfer was granted in | 1S80 to P. it. Dominick, J. L ! Domimck aud-Jobu S- Swygerfc. A j committee ^astbeo appointed to wait oo*the parties and ascertain whether j ' . Dot the? tvoald assign the charter to a company, provided they would establish a free ferry at an early date. The parties were promptly waited on. Mr. F. H. Doraioick at once signed tbe papers, but tbe other two parties refased to daso unless we would pay V . , , . 1,1 them $75 for the oia wire, experts have examined the wire and decide that it is uot^htScient to carry a fiat across Bro$d.>&ver. Tbe second raeetidg was called, and at that meetiqg-we rdofryed information that the CouatyCoHfojtissioners of Fairfield county wonflftpay one-half of tbe expenses of,a new ferry if tb9 Com$1^jokers of ?e*iogton county woold pay the other"" half, provided tbe merchants of Peak, who had met and organized a company, wonld keep tbe ferry in a good condition The same was submitted to the County Commissioners of Lexington, and on tbe fifteeotb of July tbe matter was acted upon and tbey decided . to take no part in this action on, the ground that it did not benefit the ! whole of Lexington coauty. Now, , I am frank to say that that Board did not look the matter sqaaroly in the face or they did not fully understand all tbe surrouoding circumstances in volved in this ferry at Peak. I do not only contend that a ferry at this place will benefit LexiDgton county, bat it will benefit Fairfield, Newberry and the traveling pnbhc at large Dr. SicDpaoQ of Prosperity, came here a few days ago from Chester, on his way.home, and on account of no ferry he was forced to leave his buggy and horse on the Fairfield side and hire a conveyance to reach bis home, it being on Sanday and no trams on onr road. Also, a gentleman, three days ago. who resides in Laurens, met with the same fate. I think it just as necessary for ' County Commissioners to establish free ferries across Broad and Saluda rivers for the benfit of the coonty as it is to establish bridges across creekjs aod braccbes in the couuty. Well, now, I will say to onr Commissioners that the citizens of Peak are not particular about small matters, and hs they have met the third time aod subscribed a sufficient amonnt of mooey to buy a new wire ftod?a new outfit, cow we ssk our County Commissioners to look after these masters at once. Put us in possession of the charter, or show to us in what way we shall pursue to have this chartered ferry pot in operation. Hundreds of bales of cotton lrat-wf iia-ov frmn this town OD ac DIO a^J/V l? ^ S*J V? ? count of no ferry here and I do hope this matter will not he delayed. At the 'ast meeting a company was or gaoized and called the Peak Mutual Basiuess Association. Peak, S. C., W. M. Wilson. August S, 1889. Dispatch. j J Beads. Mr. S>itok: I see in your paper of -* May, 29, 1889, a notice from the County Comm:ssioneis which reads N thus: * "All persons cultivating along the public roads are hereby i oiified not to plough within the limits of the road. Ail persons failing to comply with this request will De indicted." Will the Commissioners be kind enough to tell tis how we are tokoow when we are ploughing in said roads when there are no limits marked, ouly as the wagous mark tbem, tbut is, just-as wide as one wheel is from the other, therefore, the limit is from one rut to the other. A*ud do the Commissioners think any one so siliy as to plant a crop between the wagon rute? The law says the lftuit of* a public highway is to be twenty feet instead of five or e>s: feet. I thmk "there s as much chance for ic.dictiDg the Commissioners, or a little more,for negleet of duty. 1 know of roads that have been in h bad fix all the year There have been holes iu the bridges that a man could have fallen through and hurt himself, and horses and mules couid have got their feet ai d legs through and crippled them; and bog holes io the road that horses aod Qiules would bog up to their bellies and wagons go .dowu to the hubs, aii?i the road was almost impassible with loads. Aod the overseer and the hands went the 1 road and djd a little work yin so'jqo""pi~-tces 1uKT*^s^,ttie_ h-Yg holes alone. I am told that the Cum at is stooers hired other hands, a wagon and team to haul some pine straw in the bog holes Now, if the overseer aod hands are to walk over the road and work ouly the easiest part of the j r.iu.-t and thft Hornmissioners hire the i r$st done, or sbow partiality to some ! by hiring tbeir road worked and raak- ; ing others do all their work, I think ! it qnite hard. I think the county has I about enough taxes to pay any way j withont hiring the road worked, un- | less all of the roads are to be worked in that way. An Evil Black Knot.

My ! only desire, as a dutiful elder daughter, is to aid yon in your laadibla effort to bring your children and the yonng generally to a right estimate of life and its grand but stern reali- < ties. The shafts of ridicule, as a general rale, are dangerous weapons, but when the force that speeds them on is love, and their points are blunted i by paternal kindness, they become ! formidable allies of I he rod of cor- j rectioo, the sparing of which is j cruelty. You can doubtless claim the blessing. which in Scripture is accompanied by a promise, "Blessed is the mau that walketh not in the counsels of the ungodly, nor staodetb in the way of sinners. He shall be like a tree planted by therivf-r9 of waters." Bur, as yon know, all those who try to live godly, and do good must suffer persecution until the good times j Jfft mmmmaummmmmmmmmmmmmmam v\lea the chains which are now being forced for the great advesary> of ail good are firmly rivited about hie sat&nic majesty. Then will right triumph over might and your chil* dreD will be found properly clotted i ?od iu their right mind. You say truly that thos who wish to make life \ success, especially as regards the higher state of existence, will have ni?oy hard battles to fight.

But, excuse me, dear Papa, is it really "Old Mother Eve's blood" that keeps the sweet, fresh youog girls at their frivilous waj9 and prevents f them from taking the noble stand for ] temperance,truth and right, which is i their high prerogative, which wouid c render them much more %be&Qtifal < aod attractive in the eyes of the \ worthy aod intelligent, or is it not t rather the fault of their training? ^ '"Train up a child io the way he should < go, aod when be is old he will not j depart from it," must be as true now j r.s when it was written, although it | does not alwajs seem so. But when < their poor young heads &re turned I by silly uovels, and they are seldom t taught to think of any thing but ? dress aud fashion and the latest ] style; and if tbey go to church they < are too basy lookiog at this new dress, ? and that new .hat, to hear what the < minister says; but having been told that thev -were converted by baptism, ] in unconscious infancy, of course i tbey nnite with the charch and when < tbey go to the communion table and < there get a whiff of the same "smell" s that comes from the lips of these ; dndisb beanx, is it so much a wonder that they do not recoil from it in ' horror?

Farmers Organize. lix'-Address Delivered Before the Lexington Comity Farmers' Alliance by Dr. H. GfrEleazer. .V Mr. Pr^ient, and Brother a of the AUtiaift: The time has come when all trades ind professions have organizations for he special benefit ofj^eir professions, rhe merchants have>?pfeir "Trade Unon," their "Chambers nf^ Commercdtf md their "Boards of Trade" ; the phy^ nans have their"Medicai Associations," jven the common day laborers have hoir Kniohts of Labor." The farm 1V> - jv"** ^ ~ ~ j irs alone seem to jog along "every nan for himself' until a necessity vhich/fhey cannot avoid has thrust itself lpon them and they, too, have underakeri to try what virtue there is in initl^systematic endeavor to better heicjropdition. Let us inquire for a nomlnfi into some of the causes vhidftivEikes it a necessity for the armerffco organize, ^fe feel the oppregjpon&f the moneyin the mi^Ts of^scrupuloos'ifodiratuals and jo^inaaans who either, singly or in )r&izOT&>s called #trusts,? control h^pric^SBfif. articles?^whick^ farmers tre compelled to purchase. There are .'arious remedies suggested, but none )f them can be made efficient so long I is the farmers remain io an unorgan- I zed condition. Each individual left ;o battle alone against such immense )dds become an easy prey to the appe- I :it?of the insatiable monopolist. Thus, H#> wlinlf* class of farmers, who con ititute a majority of our population, are kept clown t'o the will of the most grinding tyranny of which it is not possible to conceive in a (so-called) free country. What is the result of these evils? or, perhaps, I had better ask, is there any remedy? I answer, yes, there is a remedy ; and shall now undertake to prescribe, and trust to the wisdom, patience, ind perseverance of the farmers themselves to apply it. And, first; I say, we must erganize. There never has been any great thing accomplished without united and persistent effort. The Farmers' Alliance is now the great organization which we hope and believe will be the means through which we will arise from the abject condition which we occupy to day and show that we are a part, md a very important part, of the popjlation. By thus uniting, the advantages we will be able to gain are beyond calculation. The great need of the farmers to-day, is more information on a threat many subjects, We need to neet together for the interchange of news upon practical topics of farm work And what greater opportunity for this exchange of views can we hope for than are offered in the meeting in the Alliances. The social feature of these organisations is another gfjgat advantage to ye derived from the * membership in he Alliace. Farmers, as a rule, do not cultivate sociability qs they should. By frequent meetings, they learn more t)f each other's plans and methods of farming than they ever could learn by my other process. And, when all the farmers of the country are united in me grand Alliance, working together for the mutual, benefit of each other. ? 1.- : we can meu ue iu it pusntuu iu uiu ucfiance to" trusts" aud ' corners" oranyihiotmiuiie kind; Thisv organization [fiillSfl^tobuy from tile mianufac:urers direct, all such articles that we must buy, and thus do away with the profits of a half dozen intermediate or middle men, all of whom must make a Drofit, and, just think, what an Immense saving this will be to the farmers. But it will require time and patient work for this consummation .to be Drought about. We should not be discouraged, however, because it may ake years of waiting and working before we can reach our ideal in this matter. We should be very careful in admitting peisons into the Alliance, be:ause the success of the organization depends in a great measure on the union of such material as will be solid and firm. Many persons will be drawn into it by the prospect of accomplishing all that is hoped for in a very short, time, and when they realize the fact that their bright expectations are not fulfilled, will become dissatisfied with the and pause serious trouble and r *"'? - ? rbowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising; from teething; or other causes.

We should not be too extravagant in our talks to people on the subject, but should realize the stupendous magnitude of the difficulties to be met and overcome. The money power is strong, far too strong to be dealt with lightly and rashly, but requires mature deliberation and an intelligent determination to meet and conquer this oppressive and mighty giant. ~vWhen the farmers of this great country uvAte firmly and intelligently pursue the main o'ujecxs of our order, then, and, not till thefr;- may we hope to achieve something akin to justice in all our commercial transactions. Then prices will be regulated by the fundamental law of trade based upon supply arid demand and not upon the venal, grasping and tyrannical dictatesof "trusts" and* monopolizing combinations. We shall then be in a position to help each Other and enjoy the advantages to be gained by uniting our forces. Let us be honest from principle, not merely from the fact that honesty is the best policy, but because it is right. Let us stand firmly on the principle that crnr calling as farmers is a noble one and demands and must receive the respect and consideration which its importance demands as a source of all our wealth and the parent of all our necessities and many of our luxuries. Many persons of other professions look upon the farmer as a very insignificant individual, who is a necessity in his way, but not to be classed upon an equality with others of a inore refined and cultivated class, rather look down upon him and are ready to ridicule him as an undignified and conteniptable being. But, if we carry out the principles of our order, all these" things will be remedied and the farmer will be recognized as the most important part of our population. .We will then be able to educate our children and let them take their place in the great battle field of life and still more be able to meet the requirements of an advanced age of civilization. But, before we reach this grand object, we must expect to meet difficulties of gigantic proportions; we must sven be prepared for several defea ts, but with the proper spirit of unity and mutual confidence, coupled with m unconquerable will, I can see no -eason why we shall not accomplish all ; this and even greater things tTiau we j now expect. Let us take courage fi^m the fact that all over !h s great country the j farmers are waking up, and in a very ; short time the whole country will* be one united brotherhood conUiijing all farmers, and working together harmoniously and successfully for the advancement of the great cause for which we are now working and earnestly hoping. Let us not be discouraged when met by obstacles, but with a resolve that we will not give up at defeat, pursue the object until victory shall have perched upon our banner and the multitude of farmers rally to onr standard.

Dnncan suggested, through the -News and Courier, that our farmers turn their large crop of watermelons which could not be shipped prr^v^f>ly od3 account of the excessive Railroad freight, into syrup. This 6nggestior, coming from one so eminently practical, and from North Carolina to Texas, the papers are bringing reports tbat parlies are making ao excellent syrup from their melons. Iu our last week's issue our Blackville correspondent tells us tbat every r cock pot aod wash pot io that section has been scoured out and impressed into successful syrup boilers. One of our neighbors, Mr. S- K. Peacock, reports the followiog satisfactory statement: From tight avererage size melons he made one galioo of extra fine syrup?such syrup a9 could not be bought iu the market at retail for less than seventy five cents per gallon. Mr. Peacock sajs that he is satisfied th,at ifytha. bad" boiled a little longer he would have made sugar, as crystahzition had alrtorltr hconn If we concede that the gallon of syrop made by Mr. Peacock was only worth fifty cents, it places the valoe of hie eight melons at six and onefourth cents each. Thiok of Jthis, farmer friends, six and one fourth cents for melons of average size, at your own homes, and the use of the rinds, the seed and pressed palp for stock food. It is not too late yet to convert a large portion of the-nation crop into syrup. Over-ripe melons, sun-baked melons, ill-shaped melons, and melons too small for shipment can all be utilized. If our farmers will hasten to be wise, they will find the way to smash* the railroad trust and the sngar trust lies in just such directions as Colonel Duncan's timely suggestion has given to the melon crCp. ? ? 0*0 Is Life Worth Living? f Not\if you go through*KM^i;ld ' dyspeptic.
