The Editor on His Bounds.
v'
On Monday, tbe 19 sb inst, aitc. a
refreshing rest around our own fireside,
we resumed our bunt of that
which greases the wheels of the car of
progress, oils the machinery of commerce
and cements the business interest
of the country. It was a cold
and dreary day. The piercing winds,
fresh from the ice clad sides of
Greenland's crystal mountaine, beat in
our unprotected faces like the ruthless
darts dipped in the venom of the
cold cbaraties of a selfish and unfeeling
world. As the day grew apace
the weather became more unpropitious
and as the shadows began to
lengthen, a dreary rain began to
fall which continued throughout
Tuesday, by which time the ice
was thawed but the weather remained
cold.
Edmund was our destination and
on arriving there we found Uncle
Geo. Keeder absent, on bis first round
inspecting the roads and bridges in
his "beat" with a view to their improvement,
as well as hunting up the
overseers. However, Corren, his
son, was in charge of the store and
attended to the wants of the customers
who came like a veteran knight
of the yardstick.
That nigfit found us comfortably
situated at the home of Mr. Joseph
Keeder where we always feel at home
and enjoy the hospitality of himself
and family. It was fortunate for
us, on account of the inclemency of
the weather, that for the morning
hours we were booked for this place.
* * ? - J. lf_ T_
Alter dinner we maae ior Jiir. Jacob
Mack's, serving the taxpayers of
% that section with promptness and
dispatch. We
left in ample time so as to
. reach the beautiful home of Mr. Daniel
.Shpmpert at PelioD, where we
enf^ed ourselvrs immeasurably by
shariDg his gene|ous hospitality.
Many of the people of the surrounding
country were in town during
the day to make arrangements
for the comiDg year and the transaction
of other business of interest to
tnemselves. Pelion is a healthy place
and is delightfully located in a fertile j
and prosperous country. The place
is slowly improving but greater
achievements are expected of it at
no distant date. It is a new town hav- ;
ing been placed on the map since
the completion of the Perry Extension
of the Southern Railwav and
sioce its birth has made wonderful
Btrides along the road of progress.
A splendid school, under the management
of Professor James Y.
Smith, is located there, and is gaining
quite a reputation for efficiency
that people from around about are
beginning to send their children there
in order to get the benefits and advant
ages of a more thorough and a bigter
education. We we gald indeed to
see the pleasant face and feel the
warm pressure of the faithful hand
of our old friend, John McCartha,
and we accepted his pressing invitation
to accompany him to his new
home on Black creek and spend the
night.
Consulting our guide book we
found our next point to be Mr. Luther
Gantt's, where we arrived in due
time, and after taking a few returns
and eojoying the dinner prepared
under tbo skillful direction of Mrs.
Gantt, we got ready to make our
next appointment.
From there we went to Mr. Jacob
Williams', at the Cross Roads, where
A
we met the good people of that vicinity
and pleasantly conversed with
them concerning matters of local interest.
We pressed on to the next appoint- j
ment at Samaria, and were hospitably
entertained by our friend, Wm
Westmoreland, during the night and i
until the hour of our departure, j
Westmoreland & Son carry a nice line |
of general merchandise. Their sales
for last year amounted to over ten
thousand dollars.
After dinner we made the next j
stopping place at our old and firm !
friend's, Captain John G. Able. He j
indeed has a beautiful home and is j
" * ? "* TT , 111
pleasantly situated, ne uas a wen
cultivated and very productive farm
and a good mill. He is a gentleman
of the old school when sociability
and brotherly love were the prodomi- |
nating characteristics of the times \
He was at one time a member of the j
Board of County Commissioners and :
displayed sound judgment in the
management of his public duties.
We left Mr. Abie's about 4 o'clock |
and pulled reiris for home and reach- !
ed here about 7 o'clock.
Business needed our immediate
attention, together with the inclement
weather, prevented us from accompanying
the Auditor to Bed
Bank Saturday and he made the trip j
alone.
The farmers in the territory travel- I
i ? 1 ? j
ea during me wfes are preparing ior
pitchiog the next crop. Some were
cleaning ground while others were
engaged in plowing. The grain
crops were in a fine condition and j
| the whole outlook indicated a pros- j
peroue time ahead for the farmer.

The Coronor'8 jury, to inquire into j
the killing of Mr. N. G Gonzales, !
Editor of the Columbia State, of j
which Mr. Allen Jones was foreman, !
returned the following verdict: "That j
Mr. Gonzales came to his death from I
a gunshot wound at the hands of |
James H. Tillman on January 16ih,;' j
the Jury being out less than five |
minutes. Col. Tillman hae retained
Hon. G. W. Croft, of Aiken, Ex Judge
0. W. Buchanan, of Winnsboro, Hon. j
Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, and
Mr. George R Rembert of Columbia
to look after the defense. The prose- j
cution has retained Ex-Attorney General
Bellinger to assist Solicitor Thurmond.
Rumor is circulating to the effect j
that Senator John L. McLaurin has
negotiated the sale of his home in
Bennettsville, and at the expiration
of his term on the 4th of March he
will probably take up his residence {
in another part of the State. There
has been so many incorrect surmises
concerning the "motives" of the senator
recently that we are led to the j
conclusion that the only 6afe one in j
considering of his intentions is to be- !
lieve nothing except that which ap-i

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The health in our community is
extremely good at this writing.

her patrons and pupils. She has 53
scholars.
Mr. Willie Epting is the charop'on

pounds. The hams weighed 40
pounds a piece. He made 16 gallons
of lard. Hurrah for W. H. Epting.
Mr. H. H. Counts also killed some
large hogs this winter. The heaviest
one weighed 405 pounds.
There are two more happy hearts
in our community, Mr. Ernest Shealy
of Little Mountain, S. C , and Miss
Nina Epting, of near Peak, were
made man and wife on January 21et,
1903. We give them our hearty
congratulations for their future prosperity
and happiness.
Hellc! Where is Mr. George Koon
with his pea thrasher? Messrs H. H
Counts, J. F. Chapman, W. H.
Epting and others want their peas
thrashed. They wish him to call

Mr. H. H. Counts is expecting his
son, H. W. Counts, from North Cirolina,
home on a visit soon.
Miss LulaBiack, of Saluda, is visiting

Sunday morning last the road to
Providence church was filled with an
unusual number of people wending
their way to church.
We ascertained that there was to
be a marriage ceremony performed.
As we entered the church we found
that the building had been tastefully
decorated with garlands of evergreens,
festooned over the aisles directly in
front of the chancel, with lovely ferns
on the pulpit and around the altar.
Mrs. Belton Roof presided at the
organ and to her deft touch a beauti
ful wedding march responded. As
the minister, Rev. Geo. S. Bearden,
stood in position, the bridal party
approached in.
Two couples on each side and one
separating so as to let the bride
and groom stand between them.
They entered in the following
order: Miss Nannie Caughman with
Mr. Albert Harmac; Miss Aonette
Roberts with Mr. Ollie Smith; Miss
Early Kleckly with Mr. Frank Caughman?
Miss Emma Ballentine with
Mr. Harry Roberts; Miss Cora
Smith, Maid of Honor and Mr. Willie
Roberts, Best Man. Then, the lovely
bride and handsome groom, Miss
Carrie R)berts and Mr. W. Aughtry
Smith
After the impressive ceremony the
party took seats reserved for them
for preaching. It was a touching
scene to see the entire bridal party
surround the altar to take the Lord's
supper.
It was the largest congregation
that had assembled at this church
for a long time. An elegant dinner
was served at the home of Mr. Henry
Roberts. We wish the couple a
long and happy life. B.

Congressman John L. Sheppard, Men
Gentlemen:?" I have used Per
most excellent remedy for all cata,
John L. Sheppard.
FT HE RE are two things that the whole
X medical profession agree about concerning
catarrh. The first is that catarrh
is the most prevalent and omnipresent
disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
of people have it. 'inose wno stay iu |
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his constant
and ever-present foe. It complicates
nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that it is difficult
to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure permanently.

TO IMPROVE HIGHWAYS.
California County Alive to the Value|
of Beantlful Roads.
At the recent i^eeting of the San
Joaquin Valley Commercial association
In Merced the committee on resolutions
reported in favor of adopting the fol
lUWiLIg.
Whereas, Nothing adds more beauty to
a farming country than appropriate shade
trees along its highways, and. whereas,
there is a notable absence of such trees
along the roadways of the San Joaquin
valley; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That each organization in the
San Joaquin valley be urged to set aside
a day to be known as Arbor day, making
the same a holiday, and to invite the |
population of each respective community |
to turn out en masse on that day for the j
purpose of planting shade trees along the
roads in its respective neighborhood.
Ways and means for the purchase of appropriate
trees and for the defraying of !
incidental expenses should be raised by
popular subscription or otherwise, as
seems most judicious.
The different organizations in the
valley, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
were urged to bend every effort
toward effecting a betterment of the
public roads.
"Worth More Than Larger Crop*.
A system of good turnpikes or even
of the modern well drained and well
kept dirt road, constructed according
to scientific engineering principles,
would l?e worth more than an extra
barrel of corn or a fraction of a bale
of cotton to the acre, says the Springfield
(Mo.) Republican. With easy and
?-hc:in trnnnnortatioii every pound of
marketable value >vould be gathered
and sold, and not left to rot in the
fields, as is too often the cas* now.
Besides this, country life would be
made more attractive and the value
of real estate would advance.
(iood Roadx In Eorupr.
In Europe many roads, especially in
the mountain regions. with their windings.
buttresses, culverts. Mails and
tunnels, are monuments of the highest
engineering ski!!. In European roadways
all ditches, brooks and small water
courses are spanned by stone cul
verts, orreu or etnoojarti wufinnm/i;,
j while projecting spurs of rock on the
mountain slopes arc pierced l?v tunnels.
Slanting sides are usually covered avitli
| grass, which is kept neatly trimmed,
j This prevents washing by rains and
adds permanency to the structure.

little or nothing except to give temporary
relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in internal
organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this
is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal remedy
which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently
from the system?this has been the desire
of the medical profession for a long
time. Forty years ago Br. Hartman
confronted this problem. He believed
then that he had solved it. He still believes
he has solved it. He cures thousands
of people annually. During all
these years Peruna has been the remedy
upon which he has renea.
