To the Editor of tbe Dispatch: Fodder palling has begun and ere this reaches the readers of the dear old Dispatch, it will be under full sway. We are having delightful seasons now and late corn, cotton, peas, potatoes and gardens are much refreshed. Early corn is very good, while late corn is quite promising. Cotton is still growing and fruiting. We of late have been feasting abundantly upon fruits of all kind. Surely, "we have a goodly heritage" and we are truly glad our lot has been cast in a land like this. Some time ago it was announced thftt t.hfl nrntrafifced meeting afc Sar dis would commence the second Sunday in this month, but for valid reasons, it has been postponed till the 4th Sunday instant. That eminent divine, Vernon I'Anson of Columbia, will assist the pastor. He has the reputation of being A No. 1. preacher, and we hope everybody who can avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Mr. I'Anson will do so. The pastor in behalf of the church, extends a hearty welcome to one and all. Mrs. Lula Christie and son, Willie, of Barnwell, are visiting at the home of Mr. D. E. Craft. Generally speaking, the health * of our community at present is normal. Some sickness in the town. Some of our roads are in very critical conditions. A certain public road that leads to the capital of a certain county in dear old S. C., is almost impassable with horse and buggy to say nothing of the loaded wagons, etc. But then I guess it is almost next to impossible for all the roads to be kept in a first class passable condition under the present existing circumstances. Mr. D. E. Craft and son have cured some fine tobacco. I have seen some gathered from their farm measuring 17 by 29 inches. Mr. Siias Hallman of the Steadman section was down looking out for lands. He has decided to sell out where he now resides and cast his lot among us if he can buy down here. S:1as is a good citizen and a hard worker and we would be glad to see him located among us. Mr. P. E. Hutto of Swansea, who L. TAPP CO. it many people are out of town, we are domd in every way possible we are doing what hasing on the part of our patrons.

Come again Mrs. Able, we are always glad to see you. The trustees of Sobool District No. 34, have let the contract for a well on school house lot. Mr. Richard Carter of Swansea, was awarded the job. Ic will be a decided improvement and a much needed benefit to the school. Our popular, young, handsome mail carrier, still continues on his daily duties. He's always on time, unless the train is late, and discharges Uncle Sam's duties faithfully. The Felix family is now enjoying the best of health from an all wise, kind providence, and should this continue your many readers may again hear from Billy Felix. Aug. 14, 1903. *Wliit?

To the Editor of the Dispatch: I shall deem it an honor should you see fit to place in your columns such dots as I may be able to write you. We are having characteristic dog day weather. And by the way, I must say here, that I am indebted to Bill Arp for considerable information as to dog days. I hope many of your readers will read what he had to say on that subject. This is fodder pullmg time with farmers and I hope all have made fine crops of corn and fodder, as this "Shoes ar STYLE, LIGHTNESS AND STRES BINED IN OUR Spring and Sub FOR MEN AI Every shape and all kinds of leather are offer whole truth about these shoes would se believe your eyes v DYEING and Cohen's SIi I 636 MAIN ST.. C will mean fine stock which will help us boys to make glad the heart of some young lady that it is our good fortune to take out riding Sunday afternoons of this fall and winter. Cotton around here is looking very nicely. I predict that we will average ten cents on this crop, provided proper judgment is used as to the time of marketing Have you planted turnips? If not, plant right away and put in a good supply. I give this advice to all who may read it.and can find a place to plant. We had quite an enjoyable picnic at Saitera pond the 6:h instant. We went boatridiDg, gooseberry hunting, took strolls around the pond, climbed the high railroad embankment, and found an occasional shady nook in which to place a buggy. Of course you will understand that on all these occasions our best girl was on hand, sometimes there was nobody else with us, some times there was. In you last issue the question was asked: Does it pay to pull fodder at all? In my judgment it will not pay to leave the fodder in the field. I believe the time is near at hand when everybody will shred their corn and thereby make stovers of fodder and stalk. Wishing you, Mr. Editor, your valuable paper and its many readers success. I am, yours truly, Lexington Boy. Another Plea for G-ood Roads. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Guess what two young men went home with two young ladies from church on that rainy Sunday night? the first Sunday night?one crossed the bridge and waded the road, and then fell into a hole in the yard, got his Sunday pants muddy, while the other crossed the dam and reached home safe, but on returning slipped into a ditch, fell down and not only muddied but tore a hole in his Sunday pants, got terribly laughed at and Viad f.n hira a ladv tr> darn the ?v hole before he could wear the pants again. Say, boys, look well before you leap in the dark, especially when the road is full of rocks and ditches. I guess those two gentlemen will be in favor of a good roads convention soon. R. e Right."
