The editor is abroad in the land banting delinquent subscribers and relieving them of the amount of their dues to the Dispatch whenever they feel inclined to settle up. This fall we started out on Mon-day of last week and spent the night very pleasantly with Mr. Joseph W. Beeder, at whose hospitable home we always find the latch string on the outside. Mr. Beeder has a very comfortable country home and the world wags well with him. We found a very few taxpayers at Edmund and a fewer delinquents, so oar business there was soon completed and we shook the dust of that {dace from our feet as we hastened on to greener pastures and fresher fields. / Arriving at Qas'on we found bustsees rather dull and the town did sot have the appearance of that vim find bustle about it that we noticed oa former visits. We regretted very much to see this, falling off in business activity and trust that our Gas- j Bak ton friends will redouble their efforts to make their town what it once was mad by nature intended it to be?one of the moBt prosperous towns in the State of South Carolina. Swansea was lively and business fairly good. There was some cotton f on the market and more of it being ginned by Mr. Bartow Bast, who is ; - V" kept busy turning the raw material into merchantable staple. Mr. P. E. Hut to, who is full to overflowing with enterprise and progressiveness as in I the daysof yore, has greatly improved -the place by the erection of a large 4wo-story building, with commodious store room on the first floor, and has filled it with a well selected of stock general merchandise. As a'reward of bis progressive spirit be en !?' joys a large trade. Claude Gantt, W. H. F. Bast, and a Mr. McDaniel, the other merchants, are also live and progressive merchants, and we have no donbt that they will all yet be as rich msm Vanderbilt if they live long enough. Mr. Bast- is the largest merv. chant of the place and has in some respects oeen as a latner so me people of that vicinity in that in the times of their extremity he turned not a deaf ear fo the cry of their necessities bat gave them a lift over the stumpy road of life. Those people shoald always remember Will Bast kindly. We took dinner at the famous Gantt Hotel and spent the night with our kinsman, J. West Crim and was highly entertained by bis quaint*bed original wit and droll sayings. A very large crowd of tax payers met us at Swansea and our heart was made to sing with great rejoicing at the receipt of a couple of dollars. Our next appointment was at Bed Store, and we are always glad to _Ul. A iUo* lUCTb WlbU liuc povj/icr, ui ?ua? progressive and patriotic sectiou of grand old Lexinston because tbev are true blue Lexingtonians who love the history and traditions of their county next to their God and family connections. We immensely enjoyed the bouteous dinner prepared l?y that Qaeen of housekeepers, Mrs. Fritz Muller. Night overtook us at Archie Wolfe's whose generous hospitality we are * always glad to share. He is a brilliant conversationalist and an enteresting "after-meal" story teller and a cultered and refined gentleman whose experience has been ripened by travel. His expensive farming interests are under the management of Mr. Herbert Geiger, an intelligent and progressive young farmer of wide experience and excellent business judgment who is making quite a success of the forming interests. He has a charming and accomplished wife 8nd their home is made happy and bright bv the sunshine of a sweet young daughter. The noon hour found ub at our beloved friend's, Mr. W. N. Martin, .handsome dwelling; and are placed under renewed obligations to him and his kind hearted wife for their courteeous treatment and *he enjoyment of a fine dinner which did our soul good, ard we left them envokiDg the blessings of that peace which passeth all understanding to rest and abide with tbat household. Friday afternoon we arrived 8fc New Brookland and found e'verytbiug in a bustle with business activity and the people happy and contented. The merchants are enjoyiug a good trade and are very cheerful over the promising business outlook and the bright future of their town. The place continues to grow and improve and it is now one of the largest, if not the largest, and most prosperous towns of the county. We arrived home Saturday evening about 7 o'clock and found things moving along smoothly. We met with the brethren of the mystic fraternity on the hill tops, in the valley* and in the caves and then after the labors of the week we enjoyed the refreshments of balmy sleep. $100 Reward $100.

Havana, Nov. 12 ?A heavy rain interfered with the public demonstration which was held today in the interest of legalizing cock fighting in Cuba and rescinding the nfilitary order prohibiting it. There were five bands of music in the procession which marched through the streets of Havana, but only 500 country men, on foot and on horseback, turned out for the occasion. Banners proclaiming cockfigbting to be the national sport of Cuba were much in evidence. Several winning game cocks were proudly exhibited in the procession. The demonstrators were refused an audi ence by President Palma, but presented their petition in favor of cock fighting to the senate. Other petitions in favor of the sport have been presented to congress from all parts of the island. % Oas Minute Cou Cure Is the only harmless cough cure that gives quick relief.

The currency question was discussed at length aDd the conclusion was reached that the business interest of country demanded a flexible currency although a resolution committing tbe association to the enactment of a law imparting a greater degree of elasticity to our currency system, making it responsive to the demands of the best interest of the country, was referred back to tbe executive council by a vote of 83 to47 This measure was one of the demands of the Alii - ance, and received the ridicule and" condemation of the money sharks up north, some of wh m are now the warmest advocates of an elastic cur rency. Government ownership of railroads and other public utilities was another Alliance demand which was derided aB being impracticable and its advocates denounced as fanatics. Today the demand for government ownership of public utilities comes from every section of the government and from every class and condition of its citizenship. The theory of the sub-treasury scheme, another of the Alliance demandwhich was severly denounced by the money lenders, was successfully dem onstrated as being entirely practicable and in perfect accord with sound business principles in the financial panic during Cleveland's disastrious administration in the use as currency of what was known as "clearing house certificates," the only difference being that the money lender and not the agriculturalist reaped the benefit From these incidents it will be ob ( served that those measure advocated by the farmers for the relief of agriculture and to release the products of the soil from the deadly grasp of unprincipled speculators and unscrupulous money lenders. If these measures will enable the financier to tide over his difficulties and strengthenthe financial interests of the country in panicy times brought on by abnormal condition of the market through wild and inflamed speculation, they will certainly release agri culture from the octopuees that have been feasting upon and growing fat on its energies aDd its life blood. No longer can "class legislation" be raised against their advocacy, because practicaLexperience has demonstrated their adaptability to meet the demands and requirements of all conditions and classes of the business interests of the country. The Best Remedy for Croup. From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe. This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies -are almost as sure to be lost, in caee of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, bu* some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, aDd does Dot cost so much It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupv cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by -J. E. Kaufmann.

Notwithstanding the bitter and costly experience of many poor people throughout the South in investing their hard earned dollars in cherry tree and other swindles too numerous to mention, there are evidently plenty of suckers yet remaining to be caught in the meshes of the horde of swindlers whose promises are gilded with the offer of giving something for rotbirg.
