After a pleasant drive we arrived at our destination. The business enterprises of Irmo seem to be on a standstill, in so far as building up is concerned. The only building of any importance is the large store bouse of H. A. and David Lorick, near the depot, together with several small cottages. The business of the place is extensive, reaching far into the surrounding country, whose lands are rich and fertile and very productive. The traffic in wood and cross ties is large besides this the trade in the necessaries of life is brisk and active and altogether the town has possibilities for development before it. The merchants are John W. Hook, the udaddy M _t L!. il oi tne town, wno wearB ms iatnerhood with grace and dignity. L. S. Mathiae, the old reliable godfather who is as proud and happy over the little bantling as its own father could be; Hamp and David Lorick a firm of enterprising and progressive young men whose enterprise and business tack have infused new life into the place; that safe, sturdy and clever citizen, Elias F. Metz, who is ever watchful of the wellfare of the town and active in promoting its every interest, and there is our big hearted and jovial old friend, Marshall Shealy, w'th his ginning outfit, who contributes largely to the prosperity iU? T~i ? U?WD Ui wo piauc, aim as iuocjuuaut xuuno well after the preservation of the peace and safty of its people. That old true and patrLvic citizen, Jacob W. Dreher, who has been weighed in the scales of Democracy and not found wanting, wa$ the chairman, and introduced the speakers who sang their little Songs without much variation to the tune of, "I'm a candidate for office." At this place while all of the candidates for the House, being in a new field, Beemed much enthused and made better speeches than before, evincing great improvement in speech making each one doing credit to himself, but John Bell Towill made the speech of the campaign and won for himself much praise and votes. The next place reached by the candidates was Ghapin, the metroplis of the Fork. At this place the party was met by the largest crowd of the campaign. This place is unquestionably the coming city of the Fork as it has been favored by both nature and art with unusual advantages which are capable of great development and its inhabitants being progressive and energetic people they will push steadily ahead toward the accomplishment of this end. Chapin is steadily improving and some new HU7ollinera oro rrninnr nn TVi? mar. chants are live and progressive and conduct business on modern principles which attracts trade from the surrounding country and makes the place an important trade centre. The merchants are J. S. Wessinger, who perhaps carries the largest stock and does the best business; Frick & Son, who carry a large assortment of ? i j ! j ; _ geucxBi xueruxjauuiee auu eujuje a large volume of tiade; W. B. Williams, the very efficient and polite postmaster also has a select Block of goods and is liberally patronized; the Chapin Drug Co, is an cp to date concern carrying a good stock of pure drugs and medicines. The Carolina News is published at this place and is edited by Mr. H. C. Bailey a Lexington boy. At the political meeting Mr. H. C. Bailey presided and introduced the candidates. The vote hunters all made excellent speeches and discussed the issues in an able and statesf manlike manner. They are developing into first class orators and a few more campaigns will fit some of them l/-v ftkln n/i/innn a caaf iri f.ho holla nf bu UU&J UVVUu OVMV AAi VUV MMAtW w. Congress. After the boys had accomplished all they could at this point they started for the next place of meeting. The Pine Ridge meeting closed the campaign in the Fork. The people of this settlement are industrious and patriotic people and are good livers. They turned cut in large numbers to give the boys an jrid time camp meeting welcome an& the boys were inspired with the spirit of the occasion and spread themselves to win votes. Pine Ridge is one of the most favored spots in Lexington county and its soils are very productive, returning to the husbandman and abundant harvest of products as a reward for his toil. Ic is beautifully situated and ita climate is healthy and deliciously invigorating. After this meeting the boys pulled reins and scattered to the four points of the compass. We arrived home and awaited with patience the meeting at this place. The meeting at Lexington Monday was the end of the campaign. There was a large crowd of the people of the surrounding country and the campaigners were on their best behavior. All of the boys were present wearing their most pleasant smiles and giving the voter their warmest hand shake. The meeting was fruitful of good results and votes were some and lost by others. Mr./ Hemphill, for the United States Senate; Dr. Timmerman, for Governor: N. W. Brooker and W. H. Sharpe for Comptroller General were present and each made a speech, presenting their claims to the people of Lexington for political preferment and thus ended the county campaign. All the candidates are highly de lighted with the kind reception given them by the people of our county both at the public meetings and in their homes. They feel very greatful to the people for the generous hospitality given them during the entire campaign. This- campaign from beginning to end has been the most pleasant in every respect that we have yet witnessed. The respect of the people for the candidates is shown by the handsome vote given them puhlished elsewhere in this issue. ObituaryIda Elvena, daughter of John and 3\?ildridge Warren, was born June .

Thue, God, in His wisdom has plucked another bright little flower from this world of sorrow to adorn that bright wotld that knows 110 sorrow. Her body was laid to rest by loving hands in Mt. Ebal cemetery in Aiken county. May the Lord of Hosts comfort them in this their sore bereavement, and make them to realize that the Lord doeth all things well. J. E. Steele. I Samaria Notes. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The health of our community is very good. Fodder pulling is about over and i now for the fleecy staple, which is opening rapidly. I notice a great many places the leaves are shedding off. Corn will not average much more than a half crop. Peas look fine and have commenced bearing nicely. Yesterday a friend proposed to go down to the little town of Steadman and on arriving there we found quite a nice little crowd who had come to church. We had the pleasure of listening to a very good discourse delivered by Rev. J. M. Kyzer, who has charge of the church of that place. After preaching we repaired to the mill race where three beautiful young ladies were buried with Christ by baptism, and as they came forth from the waters, said by their action that they intended to follow in the footsteps of the Master. May they be able to keep the promise and that their walk in life be such as to cause others to follow the example they have set. We had several kind invitations to stop over for dinner by the good people of Steadman but had to decline as we had company of our own to look after. We expect to make another visit soon to that place. Mr. J. S. Plunkett, our maii carrier, from this place to Aiken had the misfortune of getting caught in a cyclone in the suburbs of Aiken last Monday evening, the 18ch, and had buggy mashed and himself pretty badly bruised and we were glad to see him able to be on duty this evening.
