The agent, Mr. A. L. Hartley, heard them when they broke in and going down frightened them off before they could take anything. The tramps had been loafing around the depot all day Monday for the purpose, it is thought, of acquainting themselves with the premises. They went toward Lewiedale, and the agents and others along the road would do well to be on the lookout for them.

To tbe Editor of the Dispatch. Please give space in your paper for the following statement: Your report of a statement made before the County Convention on the 4th instant, as to the Lewiedale Democratic club not having been organized was to the effect that the failure to % organize said club was due to the unexplained absence of the president. As requested by tbe County Chairman, I had the Secretary to call out our club and on the evening of the meeting of the club, I sent word to the Secretary that I could not attend, and requested that they organize and elect delegates to the convention, which I think ought to have been sufficient to explain my absence. > Respectfully R.

The farmers of this section are through planting cotton and are plougLing corn, but we are having so much rain at present, they are not doing much with General Green, who is raging with all his fury. When you pass the farms of Mr. A. L. Smith and Mr. J. W.

Dunbar and others are trying to get some large bunches of lumber off to Charleston in this rainy season. Mr. Jerome Lucas, who has been very ill, is convalescent. Mr. H. V. Risb, who has been confined to his room for nearly three weeks with pneumonia, has recovered far enough to be out again. The small grain crops of this section are looking very promising at present. It seems as if the matrimonial fever that was raging through this section sometime ago has ceased and politics has taken its place. We are looking for a fine crop of candidates this summer and a general handshaking around among the farmers, because they never forget us on campaign years. Much success to the Dispatch. May 5, 1896.
