Monday for Irmo, and as usual when I Dame Fortune calls us to this growing town we fell into .the excellent hands of friend Elias Metz and his family and there kindly locked after. Many of the taxpayers of that bali|\ wick met us and after paying their tithes to their country and their dues to the Dispatch, the good and sturdy sons of Lexington residing in that vicinity congregated in groups and discussed political, social, religious and educational matters, as well as neighborhood news and other questions of interest to themselves. Irmo 1 ' ia nnf. ornwinor mufth bv reason of its *u -v? e nearness to Colombia, but the prospects of a better day coming when the natural resources of the place are more generally appreciated and its business opportunities are better understood and its merchants, ? Messrs. John W. Hook, who is also the polite and attentive telegraph operator and railroad agent, L. S. Mathis, Lorick & Lorick, and E. F. Metz are all full of enterprise and vim and each enjoys a large measure ? r of trade. We then drove through to White Bock and spent the night with our old friend Dave Bicbardson, enjoying his hospitality and the hearty welcome we received. ,He is a clever gentleman of the first water and a good farme - -3 well as a successful merchant. He is al6o the efficient postmaster and handles the mails to the satisfaction of the public generally. Friend J. Belton Sbealy has a nice and select stock ef general merchandise and has a fair trade. Johnnie Eargle still manipulates tbc hammer and anvil to the satisfaction 1 of bis patrons and to the benefit of ' his pocket book. 1 After the dinner hour we were at Hilton and found friend Bob absent, 1 but Johnnie Green was as attentive 1 as a French dancing master, jovial and happy, selling goods right along 1 to his numerous customers. Mr. . Ezel Kood was as busy as a bee in a *' tar bucket turning out work and 1 hardly had time to stop to talk. That night found us comfortably seated around the cheerful fireside of our old friend and fellow-fisherman. Water Derrick, and the cup of our happiness was full to overflowing as our fishing experiences were t x changed and the capture cf the largest fish which go away, were told in the eloquent and thrilling language known only to the true and enthusiastic lover of the rod 8Dd line. Everybody knows that Walter is an interesting talker and entertaining company, and it was with great re luctance that we drove away from his door. We were glad to learn tbat Brother Walter enjoyed himself so immensely on our recent camp fish that he never once refused to partake bountifully of the different members of the finny tribe set before him on that occasion. We regret very much that we failed to meet our other companion on that trip, Paul Addy, who vies for championship ; honors with Walter. The Treasurer j _ i spent the night with Uncle Joe j Eargle and family, who are his kins- I folks. The next morning found us at our appointment at Spring Hill. Several taxpayers were served with receipts < and after chatting awhile we pulled ! t le bell cord across our horse's back j j for Peak. Spring Mill is a hallowed and sacred spot to us. It is filled with pleasant memories of the long ago, of other days and other scenes, and while it is with feelings akin to reverence that wells up within us when we visit this green oasis in memory's desert, yet sad recollec tions of the faces that once were but which have now passed from life's active warfare, comes with startling vividness before the mind's eye. Friends of ours in the days of Old Lang Syne, in the times of peace and war, have crossed the great divide and now their memories like sweet incense only linger in the archives of the past. Drs. EL G. Eleazer and J. W. Eargle reside at this place and by their public spirited enterprise and progressive ideas have made tbe country around to bloom with fruits of industry. They are prominent physicians and cultured and refined gentlemen. Some of the Eleszer boys are still here and are chips of the old block. We were glad to find them prospering nicely. Mr. J. J. Koon is doing a nice little mercantile business at .this place in connection with his orain cradle manufacturv. At Peak we enjoyed one of Mrs. Stuck's elegant dinners and proceeded to accomplish the work which called us there. Peak has wide-awake and progressive business men and are holding their own enjoying a good trade. We spent the night with cur friend Job S. Wes8inger at Chapin where we enjoyed hi3 generous hospitality. Treasurer Shealy spent the night with Mr. Ike Shealy and received taxes at the Cross Roads next morning. We did not reach that point but remained at Chapin. We found the town about as usual, the business fair, the people happy and contented. We called on Editor Baily at the News office, and found him sticking type and pushing the pencil. Prof. John D. Farr has a flourishing school. He has an ab!. assistant, Miss Barnes, and is doing a great educational work for those psople. After completing our work at Chapin we made for Uncle Jo9h Shealy's and soon turned off the crowd and crossed the beautiful Saluda at Amick's ferry and spent the night with our old friend, Geo. Shirey, one of Lexingtons most progressive citizens and were treated with great hospitality. We completed the round at Crout's store and made home about 2 p. m. Saturday. Our collections were only reasonably good; taxes a little better than , ^ ^ aAAn/%n aI r\t?nr?i nno TTflO f*o usual an iuio scasuu ui piouuua j?ius and consequently the face of the Treasurer wears a pleasant smile. We found tbe people in good condition, with plenty of supplies to commence farming operations next eeasoD. Large crops of corn, peas, ; potatoes, rice, wheat, oats, sorghum ] and,eace have been made. Hogs < seem to be scarce in some sections, ] but all will have some meat in the j smokehouse and only a few will not be able to pull through the season. The people generally are in excellent spirits and are more cheerful than we have seen them in some yeare. The cotton crop is short and about half of what has been made is still in tbe bands 01 tbe farmers. , 1 I Tbe News and Courier is much exercised over the large vote received . by Governor-elect Heyward, which j it claims, put him in the lead of the | ticket. The soul of our contempor- j < ary can now rest in peace as Con- j , gressman Lever leads Governor Hey- j ward. | Much complaint is coming from j the dispensary authorities and from | merchants all over the State con- I cerning the lose of whiskey and j goods while being transported by | the railroads. A fire on the morning of Novem- J ber 23rd destroyed the machine | shops of F. M. Pooser & Sons, in j Bamberg. Loss $3,000, insurance j 81,000. A commission has been issued to j the Carolina-Georgia Real Estate and Mining Company, of Columbia, SC.! The capital is $50,000. j , The congregation of the Lutheran j church of the Redeemer in Newberry . has decided to build a new parson- ( age at a cost of $1,000. Hon. A. F. Ltver, Congressman from the Seventh District of South Carolina, has developed into a first class campaign orator and is rapidly winning a national reputation as such. His work along this line in some of the doubtful States up North during the late campaign is said to have been very effective $nd was the meaDS of greatly reducing the Republican majorities in those States and has won for him the thanks of the Democratic Congressional Committee as the following note will show: "Hon. A. F. Lever, "Lexington, S. C., "Wu rkaar Mr TiRvpt* "As Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, I write to thank you for your services to the party in the late campaign. I have no doubt that great good was done the party wherever you spoke, and I am sure that results in some of the districts prove this beyond question. In almost every instance the Republican majority was greatly reduced. "Thanking you again, I remain sincerely yours, "J. W. Griggs, ChairmaD."
