Billy Felis's Letter.
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.?

closing was certainly grand. It was
furnished by the Messrs. Smith,
Craft and Martin string band, accompanied
with a parlor organ.
A few R F. D. pointers:
Place your box so the buggywheel
can pass under it.
Don't leave the flag up when you
have notbirg in the box.
Pian? vflur mail behind the re
ceiver so the rider can see it.
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.
Don't you girls on the route be too
visible or our young handsome and
courteous carrier might forget to take
the mail and instead take the fe?
male.
Should the Felix family continue
to be able to fight the hateful skeettr
you may again hear from,

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. This company
has been in the hands of the receivers
about 8 months, but will be out now
shortly and will add about one and
one quarter million dollars to their

capital stock. They have several
large coal kilns in which they burn a
large amount of charcoal, and ship
same to a Northern concern "to be
made up info iron.
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''.

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

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.
