Wednesday, February 12.1902. TEE EBXTOB'S JATJ2TT. The report of our tour through 1 the county ended last week leaving us in the beautiful capital city. The Legislature being in session we brushed up our "Sunday-go-to-meetings," and with our most solemn smile, i and with stately tread and erect mein proceeded to the brilliantly illuminated marble building to see the circus, and found the Lexington boys 1 - ^ i* # i fully up to any in ine discussion 01 Legislative matters and tbey are gen- 1 ?rally on the right side of the question. 1 They all enjoy the confidence of their fellow members, snd consequently are 1 very useful in having laws favorable 1 to Lexington passed. After spending a night of very re freshing rest with Sister Joanna, we J recrossed the Congaree bridge Saturday morning and hauited in the town ' of Brookland, and here we received ' a shock of agreeable surprise. View ing the town from the brow of the hill there lay stretched before oar enraptured gaze a beautiful panorama of industry and thrift, of business activity and of domestic life unsurpassed by perhaps any- other section in the State. Harmoniously blended with this realistic picture was a scope ef natural scenery that was both inspiring and pleasing. In constantly increasing numbers the people arrived during the morning hours in almost every conceivable vehicle to transact the business which called them from home. The business out. look for Brookland is indeed bright and the place has built up so rapidly that one can scarcely realize that they k are not beholding a picture from some L fairy book. The people are deservWk edly prosperous and contented beB cause they are progressive and enerB getic and have an abiding faith in B the future cf the place. New dwellV ings are going up in every direction B and its population is steadily increasH jng by the addition of a very desirable wr citizenship. There is considerable W talk of making extensive improve y ment8 to the property adjacent to Horseshoe lake and to the lake itself. It is proposed to build a commodious hotel for the amusement and accommodation of the "summer swallows" ?v,c I 1 WUU UCOU9 IU opcuu luo uvu Uiuuuuo there. The Auditor did a rushing 1 bu8ioe88 that became so pressing that * he was forced to call to his assistance * Mr. Mike Epting, who rendered val- 6 uable service. Dame Fortune threw 1 us into the hospitable home of our 1 f] charmibg and graceful couBin Mrs. c Nettle Snull. and her accomplished sister, Mrs. Paul Wessinger, where we were treated to a sumptuous dinner, the like of which it is rearly the privilege of mortal man to enjoy. ^ We extend to these ladies cur sin cere thanks and congratulate their ^ husbands on having such excellent housekeepers as wives. 1 After completing our work there * late in the afternoon, we pulled out * for "home, sweet home," and after a * rather wet and disagreeable drive we ^ arrived there long after night had ' thrown her sombre mantle over the form of sleeping nature and the c o?Kuif nnfoo ivP tVio foofVioroH snrvrr. OTTCOV ilWW W* V-V ? O j sters of the forests were hushed and j they, too, had folded their heads beneath their wing and slept the sleep of an abiding confidence in the protecting care cf him who notes the fall of even a sparrow. On account of the distance of our next appointment we were reluctantly forced to start on cur journey on last Sunday afternoon. So accordingly, facing a rip snorting and roar mg blizzard which had arrived fror bhe prairies of the wild and wool West, we commenced our journe for Pelion with as light spirits an> cheerful countenances as were poss: ble under the adverse circumstance! After a rough experience we arrive at the comfortable and cosy horn of Lucius Wise and were soon toasl ing or frozen bodies before a cheei ful fire. Mr. Wise is the Bon c the late lamented Lieutenant Jers miah WTise, Co.

He is th efficient manager of the large an widely extended business interest c Mr. D. B. Sphalar at this place an his genial disposition has made him general favorite. He has a charmic home which is gracefully preside over by a lady of refined and culture taste and beauty of character whic makes her an ornament to the plac in which she resides. A large nun berof taxpayers met us who wer served to the satisfaction of all. Tb place has made but little improve ment. Mr. J. C Fort, the father c Pelion, has with his usual liberality erected a large building whic iB to be used jointly as a church an school house. We dined that da ftf Vinsnitfthle home of Mr. E F. Shumpert's and our treatment wa Buob as to make U9 wish to go ther again. Being in the vicinity of our frienc Mr. John McCartha, we could not re Bist the temptation to spend the nigh beneath his roof. He is kindnes personified and a warmer or true beart never beat beneath the shir bosom of any man. We delight t< visit him and greatly enjoy beinj in his company. He has an interest ing family of young ladies and gen tlemen who are exceedingly popula md number their friends by th< jcore. From there we went to Luthe jrantt s for the purpose of interview ng the taxpayers who desired t< nake their returns. About the usua lumber of persons met us and we hac i pleasant time chatting with tbos< >turdy sons of Lexington. After en '^ying a delightful dinner, which hac leen prepared for us, and of whicl ve partook heartily, we left for oui lext appointment. When we arrived at Williams' w< irocceded immediately to serve al ,he people from the Edisto and thi Black creek sections and thereby ?aved them a long trip to the Cour Elouse. Oa account of the extreme colc veather we were forced to stop al Mr. Glover Abie's, were everything lOBsible was done for our comforl lud happiness. We were warrnlj welcomed and kindly treated, fee veil and roomed warm and comfort ible. He is a large saw mill man iperating two fine mills and keep* .hiDgs singing around him and th< nachinery well greased. Next morning we pulled out foi Westmoreland's, where we arrivec n time to transact our business anc lave some to spare.

That is the regular ' report from the monkey cage | cf Barn urn's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the r monkeys with Scott's Emr.l. sion. Consumption was carry . ins: off two thirds of them 1 every year and the circus had f to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident3 ally broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cae:c and the monkeys eagerly 1 lapped it up from the floor. r This suggested the idea that it ) might do them good. Since ? then the monkeys have received > regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from ^ consumption. Of course it's 3 cheaper to buy Scott's Emulsion than new monkeys?and i that suits the circus men.
