Rev. Dr. A. C. Wilkins left today to

T. L. Perry, a young man residing

cemetery here Saturday afternoon,

Mrs. Dr. E. F. Strother, Mrs. E

The frieDds ot Dr. J. J. Wingard
in BateBborg were pained exceedingly
to learn that his injuries in the
reoent accident that befell him were
of a nature so serious that he has
gone to the sanitarium of Dr. McGuire,
at Richmond.
The members of Camp Conner,
Confederate Veterans, held a meeting
Saturday afternoon, but the names
of the delegates to the re-union have
not been ascertained at this writing.
A short time since the colored
Baptist church?Olive Branch?was
accidentally burned. A misfortune
indeed, to that worthy band. They
have decided to rebuild and the white
people, with commendable zeal, are
lending a helping hand. They happened
to a similar misfortune a few
years ago, which is very discouraging
to them.
We trust that the promotors of
the Lexington-Columbia Trolley line
will not abandon the enterprise, but
that they will still build the line and
extend in this direction, which now,
more than ever before, offers peculiar
advantages to the company.

Hilton Dots.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The sunshiny days and pleasant
weather W8 have had for the past
two weeks have put a move on us
plow boys. Everything is moving on
fast time, the cotton crop is nearly
all planted; some are done and gone
to their corn land while otherB only
lack finishing.
The grain crop is looking very
well and will make half crop or more.
Mr. W. D. Hill, of near Columbia,
was visiting in Hilton last Sunday
and Monday.
The pesch crop is still safe and if
there is no other bad luck there will
be peach pies and4blackberry stews.
Mr. G. W. Slice, our champion
watermelon grower, has planted two
acres, and one and a half in pindare,
and is going to plant more. He says
he is going to supply Hilton and
Chapin, and if there is a large crop
perhaps, Mr. Editor, you will see him
on your streets handing out the red
meats and peanuts 5 a quart.
Well, little man, you tell John
Amick to take a mule Bhoe and make
a big heel for a beard and a well rope
for a line, and he will catch his eel;
and see if it will not come up to
Klondike's.
Messrs. B. B. and R. B. Hiller
have just returned from a week's
fisL down on the Edisto. They re
port a lively time and a good catch.
Mr. B. B. baa chewed live pounds of
tobacco, while Mr. R. B. takes his in
cases of chewing gum, to get the fish
taste out of thier mouths.
Mr. J. G. Hiiler is shooting sapsuckers
and yellowhammers to get
the feathers to make him a featherbed
to lie on when he goes over to
take a fish on Ascension Pay.
Mr. C. P. Williams is smiling from
ear to ear and is saying:
' Let foreign natives hasten o'er
And peal their cannons loudest
roar,
For two more Bons is born unto
me
To pop the whip and drive my
team,?for liberty."
Mr. ThomaB Amick and wife visited
his father's, near Prosperity, last
week.
The showers still come and keeps
the ground in good turning order.
Well, Mr. Editor, I know you are
still worried from your camp fish
and can now drink soda water and
gingerale to kill the fish taste, while
I regret I was not with you.
With best wishes to you and the
readers of the Dispatch, I am,

School Closing1,
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Last Friday it was our privilege
to attend the closing exercises of the
Athens Bchool, presided over by the
Re-v. W. B. Fallaw, Quite a crowd
of well dressed and healthy looking
people were or hand to erjoy the
day, which was a day of merriment
for all.
The exercises in the morning were
devoted to recitations, dialogues and
soDgs by the children of the school
and were heartily enjoyed by the large
audience. The pupils acquitted themselves
well and rt fleeted credit upon
their teacher, who is considered one
of our county's best teachers and is
beloved throughout that section for
his noble character. MaDy kind expressions
we heard from the patrons
and this is an evidence of satisfactory
work.
The exercises of the young folk
being finished, everybody were invited
to partake of a bountiful dinner,
and if any one went away hue
gry, it was not occasioned by the
scarcity of good things to eat It has
been our fortune to make many
trips through "Old Lexington,v and
man and beast have always been
treated sumptuously.
After dinner, a debate between
the young men and young ladies
came off, and both sides made
splendid arguments, which showed
careful preparation. This concluded
the exercises of the school.
Mr. Fallaw theu introduced Senator
Sharps, who made a capital speech
on education, and t?ave the people of
that district the wholesome advice to
vote an extra levy on themselves and
run a school nine months in the year
Congressman Lever was on hand
and it ia a self-evident fact, that go
where you may in our county, he is
the favorite by great odds, regardless
of any others present. This is in no
wise a reflection on any one but a
truth that none can gainsay. He has
won the confidence and esteem of
his people and tbey del.ght to do him
honor always. His speech was thoroughly
eDjoyed and was a manly presentation
of some great truths that
men and women and boys and girls
ought not only to know, but demonstrate
in their lives.

and we left the place glad of having
been there and wishing for these people,
who have always shown us every
kindness, all things that a kind providence
can bestow upon them.

The State Summer School.
The State Summer School for
Teachers will be held at Winthrop
College, Bock Hill, S. C., from June
23rd to July 21st. Winthrop Col
I lege is an excellent place lor sucn a
school because of the splendid equipment,
accessible libraries, reading
rooms, and extensive accommodations.
Arrangements have been
made for boarding in the college
and this gives the South Carolina
summer school quite an advantage
over some others because the teachers
are conveniently located and can
enjoy better advantages.
Courses of study hu/e been pro
vided in Pedagogy, School Sup^rvis
ion, Elocution and Reading, Grammar,
Literature, Rhetoric, Library
work. Drawing, Sight Singing, Music,
History, Geography, Arithmetic,
Algebra, Geometry, Observation

School Gardening, Manual Training
and Kindergarten Principles. Some

work and a large attendance is anticipated.
A special feature of this school
wilt be a series of addresses by some
of the most effective platform speakers
available and some work will be
done looking to the educational campaign
which has been planned for
the summer. A meeting of County
Superintendents and other campaigners
will be held duiiog the session of
the summer school.
In addition to the regular courses
of WGik by the teacher students,
there will be lectures intended for
such students as desire some recreation
aa well as work. Quite a number
of teachers, after a hard year's
work do not desire regular study,
hence this arrangement.
A prospectus, giving lull announcements,
will be issued as soon as
possible from the office of Supt. of
Education. County Boards are
rapidly making recommendations as
to instructors for the various County
Summer Schools and as soon as these
arrangements are peifected, the
schedules will be published.
Attention Veterans!

county are earnestly requested to

We hopa every veteran who can possibly
do so will be present to lay a
token of remembrance upon the
grave of our comrades.

Two convicts (life sentence) escaped
from the stockade last week. Tiiey
have not been retaken as yet.
Mrs. Wingard, wife of Mr. Ambrose
Wingard, has been quite sick
for some time. We are pleased to
hear that she is better.
The health of ihe community is
generally pretty good. Some cases
of whooping cough and i?ferippe are
reported.
Wheat in this section has improved
some and we heard a knowing farmer
say that it would average about forty
per cent, of a crop. Oats is a failure.
Several of our farmers have gone
into the tobacco business this year.
We hear that a large acreage has
been set out.
