To the Editor of the Dispatch: We are proud to say our community is enjoying good health as usual, and farmers are pushing their work. Wheat is the finest I ever saw and a if we have no late frost we will have a good harvest, and the fruit crop will be heavy. But we are waiting till after the Easter snap. Mr. W. L. Miller, Sr., has been very sick for some time but is on the mend. Mr. Glover Able lost a fine ox last week. Uncle George Clark is moving things on Black Creek. We hear the hum of the old saw and can almost hear the jingle of the dollars. We are glad to have such men as Uncle George with us. Some of the road overseers have warned out the road hands and walked over their roads, but left little sigus of work on the road. One of our fresh married fellows while passing an old place one night not long since, thought he saw a woman and then suddenly she disappeared. This did not suit him, so he stepped off in such haste for home, the distance of about three miles, until he passed the next house unnoticed. A saucer in his dinner bucket was found to be devided in small peaces. It was thought by some who heard the rattling noise ot the tin bucket, that a new fashion cew bell had been introduced in the settlement. Another young fellow, pulling boxes, near the same place, heard the strange noise, he too left in such haste it is said, that the tacks in his shoes were thrown out, so quick were the motion of his feet. They are still convinced they heard and saw "spooks." We think that some of the work I that president Teddy is doing is a scandal to his party. Somo of our friends will soon be brought to the bar of justice to reap their reward, for shooting dogs. Look out, some of you who propose to help make laws, you may want to be elected again. It is not the high schools that needs help but our common schools.

I have been reporting a good small grain crops in this section, but foi the last few days it is going to de struction as fast as time. It is infested with insects, something like flies ana bugs. Mr. J. .berry, up until a few days back, had about foui acres of the finest in the settlement but today at best, it would not make t6n bushels, and this ground may be planted in com and peas. Mr. L L Gant has a field in about the same condition, and nearly this whole settlement is complaining of the wheal which had looked fine until recently Mr. Willie Rish had the misfor tune to lose a fine horse recently.

What Senator Latimer Has Done tor the Palmetto State. Washington, Much 24 ?la view i of the fact that Senator Latimer has i received so maDy letters from all parts of the State making inquiries concerning the work that is contemplated by the department of agricul ture in connection with the experiments in tobacco culture that are now being made in Darlington county, he has asked the press of the State to copy the following letter from Prof. Milton Whitney, Chief of the Bureau of Soils, Department of Ag riculture, who baa immediate charge of the worh , Hon. A. 0 Latimer, U. S. Senate, Washington, D. C. Sir: Iu view of the great interest which you have taken in the work of the Bureau of Soils, and your efforts to have this work extended to South Carolina, I take great pleasure in informing you that, as a result of the soil survey of last year, at which time , we discovered a soil in South Carolina , that we think adapted to the Cuba filler tobacco, we have under our increased appropriation this year been i able to place a tobacco man in this state to follow up this soil survey work ; This party left Washington last Fri, day and is now established with headauarters at Harfcsville. DarliD^ i " 1 ' , ton county, where an experimental . planting of three acres will be made , on the farm of Mr. J. J. Lawton of [ that place. This tobacco will be cul, tivated and handled entirely by our own men under the supervision of one , of our own experts- We hope to be , able to demonstrate the practicability , of producing a high grade filler leaf , very similar and equally as desirable as that which is now being imported. For the present the investigations will be of an experimental character to teBt the suitability of the soil and other conditions, to determine as to the best methods to be used and for the purpose of obtaining all information necessary for our guidence. If the experiments are successful, it is our present intentions to keep the to bacco party in South Carolina for another season at least in order to be able to instruct the planters as to the proper methods. Very respectfully, Milton Whitney, Chief of Bureau. Robbed The Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three ' physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents., guaranteed, by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Looking Up Testimony. Batesburg Advocate.
