The Editor Abroad.
After an early breakfast at home
on Monday of last week, we pulled
oat for PelioD, and after a long and
somewhat tedious ride with no unusual
incident to break the dull monotony
of the drive, we arrived at that place
about 11 o'clock in the morning, and
found many of the good people of
f.Hnt. xnAinifcv aWaitinp with oatience
for the coming of the Editor and
the Treasurer. Those people are
reasonably prompt in meeting tbeir
private and public obligations, which
makes them a very desirable class of
citizens and a pleasure to do business
with. Pelion is gradually improving
and is unquestionably destined
to be a thriving and prosperous
town of Lexington county. Mr. Dan
Shumpert has built an elegant dwelling
and our friend Lucius Wise is
having put up a handsome cottage.
Mr. J. C. Fort, the nester of the
town, takes a pardonable pride
the growth of his "bantling", as
well as a commendable interest in
every enterprise tending to build up
and improve the place. His familiar
figure is constantly seen on the
Btreets guarding well the interest
of Pelion. Prof. J. V. Smitb, who
ranks among Lexington's best educators,
is looking after the educational
Interest of the place and has a flour
ishing and prosperous school. Mr.
Best is still the clever and accommodating
railroad agent and gives entire
satisfaction to the public and the
railroad company alike.
Monday night was spent pleasantly
with our old friend, John McCartha,
who has recently moved into bis
new and comfortable home, whioh is
erected in a sequested and pretty

Bpot for a beautiful country home,
where the Bilenoe of nature is only
broken at present by the growl of
the bear; the meow-meow of the wild
oat, as she calls to her mate; the
bark of the fox; the bellow of the
alligator; the chatter of the equirrel
and plaintive song of the whip-poorwill
and the melody of the feathered
songster. After feastiDg well
and a refreshing Dight's rest, we met
our travelling companions, Frank W.
Shealy and Scott Shirey, who had
remained over for the night at
Pelion, on the read and continued
our way to Mr. Jacob William's, at
the Cross Roads. Here we met the
people of that section ready and
waiting to settle for tbeir taxes and

paper. After accommod*ting all
who desired it with receipts, our
time being limited, we took the road
about 11 o'clock for the next point,
it being at Wm Westmoreland's, at
Samaria. Bill is a clever fellow and
he and bis son are doiny a good merchandising
business. He provided
well for the satisfaction of the inner
man and comfortably for the needs
of the wornout and tired body with

evening we were delight fully entertained
with fine music from the
organ, fiddle and banjo.
The next morning we arrived at
Batesburg and found busioes* quiet
but firm; the merchants, while not
unduly exuberant over the present
condition of trade, were not depress
ed, but looked forward to the time
when the trade winds would be more
favorable and business would become
brisker. They realize that into
every life some rain must fall and the
sunshine sometimes be darkened by
clouds. The dull season is reasonably
accounted for from the fact that
the farmers are very busy with their
farm work and have housed a good
amount of supplies. There are some

provemenfcs being made. Batesburg
is one of Lexington's largest and
most progressive towns and its
future is filled with bright promises
of other business apd social achievements.
We took dinner with that
staunch and patriotic citizen, as well
as cultured and Christian gentleman,
Dr. W. H. Timmerman, and that
clever and popular young man, Mr.
John Bell Towiil. The honors of
this pleasant and hospitable home
were dispensed by Miss Towiil, the I
twin sister of Hon. John Bell Towiil,
a young lady of rare attainments and
of culture and accomplishments.
We arrived in beautiful Leesville?

boarding house of Mr. G. Haltiwanger
Rawl. Mre. Rawl is one of
Lexington's best housekeepers and
provides well and abundantly for the
wants of the sojourner beneath her
roof at moderate charges. Her rooms
are large and airy and are comfortably
furnished. Business was rather
quiet but the merchants were in
good spirits. Dr. Kinard has opened
an up-to-date drug store in Abie's

and complete stock of goods usually
found in a well appointed drug store,
which is artistically arranged and
makes a pleasing and attractive appearance.
A specialty of this establishment
is the careful compounding
of physicians' prescriptions.
The next firm that will soon be added
to Lessville's business circle will
be composed of 0 C. & John Able,
two successful busioess men and brimfull
of energy and enterprise.
There'are several new cottages in
the course of construction and when
completed they will be occupied by
families who will move to Leesville
for the purpose of educating their
children We had the pleasure of
witnessing the new oil mill in operation.
The plant is entirely new and
has the latest improved machinery on
the market. It is being operated
day and night and the products of
the mill are first clasw in every par
ticular. At night it is brilliantly illuminated
by electricity and makes
a very pretty picture. The
officers are well known and successful
business men of the place and
are as follows: James Bouknight,
[ President: C D. Bar, Vice President;
I F. H. Hendrix, Secretary; Dr. E. J.
Etheredge, Treasurer; Uncle Jasper
S. Derrick is the efficient book keeper.
With such a combination of
busin?9B energy to direct and
control its affairs the enterprise cannot
help but prove a financial sue
cess. It has a ginnery plant connected
with the mill, where the farmers
oan have their cotton ginned
at reasonable charges

spent the night.

the taxpayers left for their homes
happy in the knowledge that their
taxes had been paid and hereafter no
frightful dreams of penalties would
disturb the peacefulness of their
dreams. We broke the staff of life
with friend Reid Keisler and it was
indeed an excellent dinner temptingly
served and invitingly spread.
We did not tarry long at Red Bank
as there were but few people out to
meet us and we soon pulled out for

Our observations during this trip
leads us to the conclusion that the
farmers have made large crops, especially
so of corn, peas and potatoes,
and that they are in better condition
now than they h&ve been in for years.

Death of Mrs. Mattison.
Special to the State.
Leeaville, Nov. 15 ?The untimely
death of Mrs. Lucile Mattison was
reported in town this morning.
While her death has been anticipated
for several weeks, still the shock was
very great. Mrs. Mattison had been
in declining health for more than a
year, and during this time she visited
some of the best specialists in America,
bat all in vain, and finally returned
to her parental roof a few months
ago to await the final summons.
Mrs. Ma'tison was the oldest daughter
of Mr. H A Soann and was married
to Bev. Matiioon about 15 years
ago.
Bev. and Mrs. Mattison went to
far away Brazil as missionaries.
Soon afterwards, and while in that
foreign land, Mr. Mattison was stricken
down with feyer and died.
During this time this union was ^
blessed with one child. After several
months Mrs. Mattison returned to her
home, and there further fitted herself
for teaching. She graduated
from ' some of the leading normal
schools in the south, and was teaching
in the Methodist Female college
in Columbia when her health began to
fail.
Mrs. Mattison was peculiarly loved
by all who had the pleasure of meeting
her and her death will be mourned
throughout the State.
She leaves an only daughter, father
and mother, several brothers and sietors
a hnat of rfilofinaa J ?
v> uvwv v/* auu liieuub
to mourn her untimely death.
The remains will be laid at rest in
the Concord cemetery tomorrow afternoon
at 3 o'clock.
