The wheat crop was very good, but the picnic season is here and it will come in handy. The young folks of this section sre expecting a grand time at the picnic at Mr. R. W.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Eight o'clock Saturday morning found us ready and on cur way down through the sand hills to Pond Branch, the place for the 'cue. After a couple hour's pleasant drive, the morning being cloudy and the atmosphere damp and balmy, we ar- j rived at our destination and were j soon viewing our surroundings, as j we, or I, at least had Dever been in 1 oAA^frvn O n /\n*? o v 1 tLilO JUAU-ICUltttO DCL L1UU. Va UUi C?1rival there were but few persons present, but to our surprise a good crowd soon gathered, and people 'j were to be seen most everywhere. Of course, speaking by the candidates was the order of the day, and County Treasurer Frank W. Shealy, who acted 38 chairman, introduced D. F. Efird, candidate for the House of Representatives as the first speaker. Mr. Efird hastily went over his six years record as a member of the House, saying that it was before the people and he was ready for their criticism, and would certainly abide by their decision without a murmur. He made an interesting talk on high appropriations to State colleges, say- | ing in conclusion that said appropriations could not be cut down any ? L i. J It tu ? I ai/ yxe&eiJi;.

Mr. J. M. Epting, also a candidate for the Legislature was next introduced. He favors the reduction of the extravagant appropriations, the biennial session bill; and the childs labor bill, and pledges himself to I work for the interest of the people. Mr. E. U. Shealy was the next to address the crowd. He too, is making the race for a seat in the Gen i eral Assembly.

At the conclusion of the third speech, the chairman announced dinner, and about an hour's recess was taken up satisfying the inner man. After dinner the speaking continued with J. B. Wingard on the stump. He was followed by Messrs. J. H. Counts and J. B. Towili. Space and time-^ill not permit me to give details of each speech, so I will just say, that all the candidates for the j House, that were present, expressed about the same views. All thought well of colleges, but opposed extravagant sums being lavished upon them. Among the other candidates who were present, and mounted the platform, were G. A Derrick, for Auditor; Jno. S. Derrick, and Henry J. Raw], for County Supt. of Education: P. H. Crape, for County Supervisor; Is iah Hallman, for County Commissioner; Jasper S. Derrick, and Frank W. Sbealy, for Treasurer. Several other candidates were present but did not speak from the stump. There was but little applause throughout, but everybody listened attentively. Each man that spoke, promised, if elected, to render faithful services, and to perform his duties to the best of his ability. Cyrus L. Shealy. Summit, S. C, July 14. Echoes from Spring Branch.

The plan for the enrollment of Confederate veterans, provided for at the last reunion, has about been completed and the chairman, Zimmerman Davie, and Secretary D. H. Means are sending the following letter to the clerk of court of each countj: Dear Sir: Please read carefully enclosed copy of an act, approved 25th February, 1902, which prescribes jour duties and compensation and committee of enrollment of Confederate veterans by township and county. In order to carry out the provisions of this act, I have shipped to ycu by express [charges prepaid] one county enrollment book and a tovnship enrollment book for each township in your county. Please obtain from express office and take charge of this package. I would suggest that you get your i._ ~ ~ A uuuuiy liovepapcto iu auuuuuuc t?v> ? news item that you have received these township enrollment books and urge the township enrollment committees to call and obtain them, so that the enrollment may commence at once in every township and neigh borhood. I believe also that the county papers, at your request, would cheerfully, without charge, call attention to the necessity of this enrollment being made at once, and also to the thoroughness and exbaustiveness of the plan cf allowing each neighborhood and township [those most interested] to enroll its own veterans. The books were shipped to you on 11th of July, 1902. It is hoped that the neighbors, kindred and friends of all living or dead veterans will earnestly unite in aiding the surviving veterans in prosecuting this enrollment at once. Very respectfully, Zimmerman Davis, Chairman. D. H. Means, Secretary. Clerk George has received the books for the townships in this county. Taz9S In Cienfnegos.

McSweeney yesterday receivj ed several requests reiating to depre| dations of a gang of horse thieves in i Aiken county. Among the papers ' presented, upon which the governor ! offered a reward of $100 for the api prehension and conviction of the parj ties, was the following, signed by many well known citizens of Wagenei: "We, the undersigned, citizens of Aiken county, appeal to you for protection from a gang of horse-thieves that are operating in this section of country, and using the section of Aiken county on the North Edisto river to keep their stock, stealing the feed from the poor farmers. They go armed with Winchester rifles making threats and they are a perfect terror to the people of this sec tion. A warrant has been sworn out for them some three weeks ago and sent to the sheriff of thi3 county, but ho has not made any effort to apprehend or arrest them whatever. He has been telegraphed and personally appealed to, but so far he has made no effort. We appeal to you as governor of the State of South Carolina for protection." Items from Steadman. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The health of this community is very good. The small grain crops turned out j poor, though we have good corn and j cotton* crops. The Baptist Union at this place j was much enjoyed. The heaviest j laden and most beautiful table I ' ever saw was spread on this occa- j eion.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Everything around Samaria is quiet at present, and the health of the community is generally good. We have been blessed with nice rains, which were greatly needed in this section and the farmers now wear broad smiles. Mrs. B. F. Kirkland of Almeda is at Mrs. Elbert Hall's, her mother, with her little one who is in bad health. Hope the change will prove beneficial for it. Mr. E. F.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: In your issue of July 9tb, I notice a communication from one signed "Klondike'' and from the nature of the news items, I suppose the writer is a resident of cur town. In reporting the items occurring on July 4th, he says: "Three or four young men celebrated the 'fourth' by putting themselves outside of some booze * * * but why take nn fin? TtlPV tffif it from nnr riio_ pensary and on the fourth of Ju'y at that." As to above I wish to respectfully state that if these charges were directed to myself as dispenser or to the management of the dispensary at this place, that they are false in every particular and are without foundation, as Klondike himself is fullv aware that the dispensary was closed on that day, and I feel that it is nothing more than a manly and a gentlemanly act in him to retract the charges through your columns. Tf tVio nVnarnraa vc/nva ti/->f o a JUL bUV; VUUlgVO IT W1V> HU v UUV.l>lV.U HO I have stated above, I sincerely hope no offence will be had at my endeavor to get the truth, for it is ''mighty and will prevail.
