To the Editor of the Diepatcb: Your humble scribe moat respectfully sends a few dots from this section. Everything quiet and everybody gathering, houBeing and making ready their crops for market. All agree that this has been a poor crop year. Cotton turning out pooily and going down in price these things makes the farmers low spirited. The Fair is close on hand and from what I see and hear very little interest is felt for the Fair or circus. There has been a protracted meeting going on at Irmo the past week. It was pretty well attended from this section. Young beaux with their best girls made things lively and certainly with theie nice turn outs accompanied by handsome young ladies were certainly pleasing to the eye. Made an old widower W IB LI UD HUB JUULlg BgUlU. AiLUfD are not like they used to be. Now a fellow gets his best girl in his buggy and from the way he travels it seems that he is as anxious to get rid of her, as he is to start for he covers the distance in a short time, of course there can't be much said. Same way returning,a fellow is awakened by a roar, thinks it is thunder, rushes to the window, looks out, sees the stars shining and the moon respondent in her brightness. Just there he remembers that it is Mr. and Miss returning from church. It appears to me if I was in his place I would be loath to part with my companion and drive slower, but then I reckon if I was young again I would keep up with the fashion and do just as they do. Another topic at present, which nearly concerns us all, is good roads. Many suggestions are proposed and if we will come together we can have good roads. The public roads in this section (there are several) in some places are in a bad condition.
