There was a car load of guano unloaded
at Summit yesterday. Several
of the farmers in this section had a
hand in it.

Mr. T. P. Drafts is pailing in his i

now.
Mr. H. W. Koon is plowing at his
sand hill place. j
Spring begins on the 21st inst.
I guess the weather will finally mod- <

Log rollings are not so numerous
this year as they were last year. (
The roads are all being worked in j
this section. That's a sign of good
roads when they get dry. i
Rev. AndersoD, of Leesville, had a
narrow escape not long since. A i
tree fell right by the side of his j

Craps, the daughter of Mr. George
Crape, who died suddenly at her ^
home last Sunday night near Summit
and was buried on Tuesday at j
Cedar Grove in the presence of a ^
large congregation of sorrowing rela- (
tives and friends. She was living
in the latter part of her 17th year, i
A vacant chair is left in the family g
and a vacant seat is made in the ^
church by her death. The death
angel called for her as a thief in the ^
night, but found her prepared to t
meet her God in peace. She is but
a rose bud taken from this earth and (
carried to heaven to bloom, where it d
will never wither, nor lack for
anything. She was loved by every- t
body that knew her and especially by t
her dear father and mother, but v
now she sits by the pearly gates 1
watching and waiting to welcome
father and mother there. She will
always be ready to welcome her
loved ones in heaven. We cannot
understand why such a lovely bios- (
som is taken from earth, but God j
understands. ChriBt said i$come j

large as he might be. For as the
"Baby of the House" his first three
months in Congress have brought
him an acquaintance that many members
of long service have not acquired.

rank with those celebrities whom the

country. Representative Landell was
recently acting as guide for several
young ladies, and, on coming to the
House gallery, in due time he pointed
out the "Baby of the House" to them
Whereupon the young ladies, daughters
of a well known Southern Senator,
expressed a desire to meet the
young South Carolinian. Mr. Landell
went in search of him and presently
returned with Mr. Lever in tow. As
it was about lunch time Mr. Landell
asked his guests to lunch with him
in the House restaurant and, turning
to Mr. Lever, he said: "And we shall
be glad to have you come down and
take your Meilin's Food with us?or
perhaps you prefer condensed milk.''
Mr. Lever was soon demonstrating to
the party that his appetite was not as
3mall as his years were few.
Do Not Be Afraid
To look the facts squarely in the
Face. That cough, racking and persistent,
accompanied by tightness in
the chest and spitting of sticky
mucus, is a sign of consumption.
Common sense dictates the use of
illems LuDg Balsam, an honest
remedy, since it contains no opium:

I?o the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well Mr. Editor, as no one else
vill write from here I thought I
vould give you a little news for the
jood old Dispatch again.
Mise Laura Eargle, who ha9 been
visiting relatives in Newberry for the
>ast six weeke, has returned home,
dso Miss Quiller Eargle, who was in
Columbia during the lawmakers' seslion,
as stenographer, is home.
Mr. J. L. Eargle went to Florida
ifter Xmas to farm but like
he black cat, "came back.'' And I
ion't blame him, for there is no place
>n God's green earth like Delmar, as
>art of the town is in Saluda and
jart in Lexington, and you know its
food. "What we want here is the
Saluda Valley Railroad. If we had

There has been one new enterprise

Dbe Paragon Printing Company and
Sook Store. I reckon it would make
ou lean back and haw-haw and
augh 'till it would hurt if ycu should
^et a big daily from here yet.
It seems that we will have a big
rop of candidates this year. If you
rill sling a haversack full of rocks
cross your shoulder and come up
his way and throw one in a thicket
nee m awhile and hurry to the other
ide you can see about a dozen run
ut. But don't come, Mr. Editor,
ntil 'cue time, as they won't be
town or fat till then.
Mr. A. L. Eargle was about the

Rural Delivery Bill Passed.
Washington, March 10.?The bill
to classify the rural free delivery
service and place the carriers under
the contract system, which has been
debated in the house for over a week,
was passed today but in a form that
nnmnlpfplv phflnoroct tfio nnrn/ioo fr\r
' r? j ~
which it was framed. Before it was
passed the bill was altered radically
by its opponents. All the provisions
relating to the placing of carriers under
the contract system were stricken
out and the salary system was not
only continued, but the maximum
salary of carriers was increased from
$500 to $000 per annum. The
amendment to fix the salaries of
rural carriers at $600 was offered by
Mr. Swanson of Virginia and adopted
without division.
An amendment offered by Mr.
Fleming of Georgia, was adopted to
allow carriers to do any express package
business where it does not interfere
with their duties.
A motion offered by Mr. Williams,
Democrat of Illinois, to recommit the
bill with instructions to report back
an amendment providing for the diemissal
from the service of carriers
who should use their influence in
favor of any particular party or for
my particular candidate, was voted
3own, 96 to 141.
