To the Editor of the Dispatch. Having won a complete victory in close, heated battle with Gen. Gieen, j I can uow breathe freely for a short ' while, and in my reflections pen a few items to readers of the Dispatch. We are haviDg fine weather now and the farmers are bvisy in their crops. The crops are growing nicely since the passing of the cool weather and warm days appear. Wheat is not a failure and begins to take on a golden hue. Fall oats 1 I* -1 T- M 1 are spienaia wane spring uaie aio almost a complete failure. The buzzing round of the hateful, pestiferous, abominable, obnoxious nocternal "ekeeter" is very audible these warm nights, as well as the touch of a keen, pierciDg, penetrating, presentation of a "bill."*' Of all the bills presented to Billy, the bill of the mosquito is the most unwelcome. Mrs. J. F. Fallaw has been confined to her bed for some time .^ith lung trouble. We hope ere long she may recover and be at her post of duty. Mr. Editor, we all enjoy jokes and none any better than Billy, but when it comc-8 to penning such farfetched ones as I have seen of late, I am in clined to swear off. The sweet graduate will soon be in evidence. The eparkliDg eye, smiliDg countenance aud dignified beariDg of the Editor was seen on the streets of the Capital city taking in the reunion, and judging from his demeanor, he must have scooped in several dollars from Dispatch readers across the Congaree. We heard of some while in there. The Sunday school picnic at Red Bank, on the 16ih instant, was a grand successs. There were good speaking by the children, a fine dinner and plenty to drink. Hon. John Bell Towill put in an appearance, made a capi tal and timely address to the audience, ate a big dinner (!) and judging from general appearance? and what I overheard?be put in some good electioneering. True, this is not campaign year, but Johm rang the bell "just the same" and I think ere long you will hear another bell, but this time, the wedding bell.? The music at the Athens school ia, S. C.

Don't place mail in your wooden boxes on the old star route from Gaston to Oakvilla. The rider can't take it. Uncle Sam will not be responsible for mail placed in them. Be sure and oil your lock the first day of June, Monday, remember the date. Don't ask the rider to bring you groceries, etc. He is employed to carry mail and not r.s a drayman.

To the Editor of The Dispatch: Not seeing any dots in the valuable columns of the dear old Dispatch, a paper that is welcomed in every home it reaches, from this place, I will endeavor to give a few which may be of interest to some of its dear readers. The health of this eecticn is excellent at present, so far as I could learn. This is certainly a busy town. Ic ! boasts of having the largest saw mills in th~ South. The Atlantic Coast Lumber Co., which does an enormous lumber business; is the largest corporation of its kind in the Tj. S. The Georgetown division of the Company has a capacity of GOO,000 feet of lumber per day.

Messrs. Gardner & Lacey also have a very large saw mill business situated near the heart of the town. There was a tournament here May 20, which consisted of foot racing, wheelbarrow racing, Horse racing, fire engine and reel racing. The streets were crowded with people "taking in'1 the sights. Your humble scribe witnessed the races and enjoyed them very much. They did some excellent running. After the tournament was over they had an icecream festival at the Bluff which was enjoyed by a goodly number of the young folks. , There was an excursion run from here to Charleston yesterday which was patronized by a large number, about 500, of our people. They report having had a very enjoyable time. This town is building up very fast -now. New dwellings are going up every day. Every where you look you can see the drift of business. The town is opening up new streets arsd improving the old ones continually. They have added a great deal to the appearance of some of the streets in the last few days. The Georgetown & Western R R, which road runs into this town, does a large business. It connects with the A. C. L. Rv. at Lanes. They haul all the logs in here for the Atlantic Coast Lumber Co. If this should happen to escape the waste basket, you may hear again some day from, "Alphonse''. Georgetown, S. C, May 23, 1903.

Batesburg Notes/ To the Editor of the Dispatch: Our community was painfully surprised Friday by the announcement I of the sudden death of A. J. Boafc! wright, at his home near here. Ooe of our test men and most usefol citizens has been called to his reward. D.fnient and retiring, though h* w is, still those who knew him in imately, recognized his true worth. He followed the misfortunes of the South in the great war, was severely wounded, but recovered and since then has been engaged mostly in teaching in the public schools. He was buried Saturday afternoon by the Masonic fraternity in the resting place of his father and mother, who had gone before by a number of years. The closing exercises of the Institute were held on Friday night. Congressman Lever was to have made the speech, but probably owing to some misunderstanding of dates, he | failed to come. Prof. Major and Misses Hill and Crossland were re-elected for the ensuing term. The school is in a flourishing condition and growing Tapidly. Doctor E. C Ridgell, chai-man of the board of trustees, made the concluding speech. He complimented all concerned and made some humorous allusions to the matrimonial pros . . /v? 11 . pects oi tr.e stan, as wen as me recent occurrences in that line. Our townsman, Hon. John Bell Towill, was substituted for the baby Congressman and the Colonel sustained his tep as an impromptu speaker to the satisfaction of all present. The Landscape gardeners for the Tourist Hotel are at work on the grounds. .It is to be presumed they will make an exceedingly attractive place. The building will go up later and by the time the season opens all will be in order. J. Willie Mitchell is the General Manager of the business now, but the work is being done by skilled artisans from the north. Occasional. May 25, 1903. Are You Using Allen's Foot-Ease?
