Oq Monday afternoon, January | 26tb, we left home to renew our tour of the county, our objective point being the home of Mr. B. F Keisler. where we spent the night pleasantly and enjoyed his unbounded hospitality. Mr. Keisler is a first class business man and a successful farmer. Tuesday "norning found us serving the good people at Crap's Mill, now Mr. Ed. Addy's. Mr. Addy has greatly improved the eld place and is conducting a nice little mercantile ? l:_ :n easiness in connection wuu ma mm and farm interests. After traveling over some miserably rough roads below Leesville and Batesburg we arrived at the latter place in time to ascertain the wealth of the people of that town and surrounding country during the afternoon. We called at the Advocate office and enjoyed a pleasant chat with the accomplished foreman, Mr. Whitter, who is a capable printer and an all round good "fellow. That night we rested our tired body' at the Bat9sburg Hotel?the haven of the weary traveler. Dr. Boatwight is in charge of this hotel and is polite and attentive to his guests. The fare furnished is first class, the rooms nicely furnished and the beds fresh and clean. We spent the next day in interviewing the business men and chatting with our country cousins who bad come to town to meet the 4-uditor. Batesburg is inhabited by a sat of as high toned, refined and Christian people as can be found anywhere in this wide world and its business men are wideawake and progressive. The place is noted for the culture, refinement and accomplishment of its ladies and the gallantry of its men. It is one of the county's business centres and is a live and progressive town. Completing our mission there we pulled reins for Leesville, the educational centre of the county, and rested well at the boarding house of G. Haltiwanger Raw], where we were the recipients of the most thoughtful attention aod the kindest treatment from Mr. Rawl and family. He is conducting a boarding house where the weary traveller receives home like comforts and his charges are very moderate, being only $1 per day. Those having occasion to stop over in Leesville should give Mr. Rawl a call. Leesville is anything else than a dead town.

Dwellings are bring \ built, new enterprises started and j the hum and hustle of business activity is seen and felt everywhere. Its business men are enterprising, clever and courteous and all take a lively interest in the wellfareof the town. They are not afraid to put their time, their monev and their j energy into new enterprises. The Cotton Oil Mill, recently started there, is a success beyond all doubt and is & great convenience to the farmers of the surrounding coumry, as it saves them both time and expense. It is receiving a large patronage and its output is giving geueral ! satisfaction. Uncle Jasper Derrick is its courteous bookkeeper and is deservedly popular with its officers and patrons. A large tobacco warehouse will be erected in time to handle this year's crop and the farm- < ers of that section are preparing to i plant a large crop of the weed, i JLbere is also a large planing plant &Dd coffin manufactory there. It has a good back country to support the place. The merchants all carry large aDd up-to-date stocks of goods and the place enjoys the services of eminent physicians and the best < educational facilities Oar next place was Summit where i we arrived in due time and stopped at the home of Mrs. Sbealy, the mother of our popular County Treasurer, "where we were nicely treated. Mrs. Shealy is one of these motherly souls whose heart pulsates only with kindness and sympathy for those who are fortunate enough to share her generous hospitality. We called on Brother Hare, of Our News-Letter, and found him industriously pushing the pencil and sticking type. He is getting up a neat and newsy sheet which is well printed. At Lewiedal* we met a large crowd of taxpayers who came to make a 1 just return of their earthly posses- : sions and the time was taken up in attending to them until after 5 p. m. The place is holding its own and the merchants: W. H. Donly, T. S. Sease and R. L. Keisler, carry large stocks aod are doing a good business. After finishing our work there we came down to Bart's, but on account of the indisposition of the Auditor, who was really ill, Mr. WTade Oswald kindly consented to take the returns at that place and we put out for home where we arrived in due time.

In reading our exchanges during the past week we notice that complaints come from every section of the State concerning the wretched condition of the roads. Even in Columbia, where they have macadamized pavements and streets, a large force of hands were kept constantly busy shoveling of mud, bo as to make the crossings passible. * Farmers are preparing for the work of the year. Srookland ITsws. To the E litor of the Ditpatob: Our people feel rejoiced that the streets are clear of the mud aud slush caused from the recent rainy sp^ll. It is a very noticeable fact to witness the great and unusual moving in and out amoDg our people nowadays ' At tDis season or the year there are always a great influx of people comiDg aDd goiDg from one mill to another, making preparations for the year's work. A Dumber of Dew families have recently moved to Brooklaod and have been given emplovment in our mills. The street committee has recently put our streets in good condition. A Deeded improvement to both citizens aDd the traveling public. The committee on licenses for operating bosinec-s here, has raised the amount considerably, but we hear of no general "kick" by the merchants. They express their willingness to pay the amount provided the town authorities protect them by imposing similar amounts upon the numerous peddlers who are growing fat over the earnings received and i paid oat by our people. Tee merchants here have experienced a very dull moDtb, bat since the effects of the holiday trade is about over it is generally hoped that February will bring about better results. Little Blunt, the eon of Rev. Harald, came very near losing his life Saturday afternoon. A large lumber wagon was returning from Columbia and it being coupled out, little Blunt ran between the wheels in order to ride on the coupling pole, when he lost his balance and was run over by the hind wheel. The wagon being an unloaded one saved the boy outside a slight bruise across bis chest. The Hon. John Bell Towill was on our streets Saturday afternoon |haking hands with old fiiends and rnulrintr npw urniiuinf. *nr-PA to n Mrs. W. D. Dent on last Thursday evening entertained many cf her friends, complimentary to Misses Mamie Nunamaker and Mary Eieazer, of Irmo, who were visiting Brookland. Mr. Henry Buff, who recently was married to Miss May Sbull, is residing here and is employed by the firm of Shall & Dent. The Masonic temple is nearing completion, and when completed will be quite attractive. The members of Sin Ciair Lodge will be glad they can hold their regular communications in their new quarters. This Lodge is growing rapidly in membership, having several members on the | a)<>xr onH anmp fi VP nr fiiv Hiinlicftrit.R i for the next regular communication. Our people are enthused over the prospects for the Columbia-Lexington street car line. It is hoped that work will soon begin and thus convinced the "doubts" expressed by a few. On last Saturday afternoon Aaron Barnes, a country negro, tiresome of the ordinary mode of eating and desirous of having his appetite enticed by something more pleasing, bagged a very line Swift ham and a i couple sacks of choice Hour from the firm of Shull A: Wtssinger and started on his journey for home, when to his surprise, after having walked about half a miie from Brookland, he was overtaken and relieved of his burden, and he himself escort ed to the Brooklaud ?uard bouae to account for his condu3t before the Magistrate.
