G M. H ARM AN. F.ditnr aT>d Pnhlisher. > ?? ???????? Wednesday, January 20.1904. On the Bound. On last Monday we went out 88 nsnal with our worthy Auditor, G A. Derrick, who ia going from place to place in the county, to make tax assessments, notwithstanding the extremely bad weather. The first point we visited was Edmunds. Not f -* i I many 01 IDS citizens were uu. io meet os, but we were nicely received by those who were tbere. From there we went to Gaston, where we - were met by the usually large crowd from the town and vicinity. While ^re noted that the lumber, wood and turpentine business was somewhat dall, yet we see no reaeou why Gas* ton should not grow into a thriving ' town considering the good country backing it naturally should command It was a pleasure to meet with old friends thereabout and pass a few pleastnt moments together. After we had finished up our business about 5 o'clock in the afternooD, we made our way to the Ooss Boadv the piaoe the Auditor bad scheduled to spend the night ; and we could have found no pleasanter place to rest after our labors than at Mr. J. W Reedei's bootable home. We reluctantly bid them adieu at noon the Dext day and drove to Mr. J J. MackV, odp of the successful business men of Pood Branch. He is one of the men wentver fiod idle, bnt always tnergetic and pushing. This point was well attended for the Auditor and be was kept busy until 5 o'clock, when be closed. Our next stopping; place was at Mr. Ranee Mack's ideal home, he having; coire over to meet us and guide us bitber. His place is ore of the best farms iD the county. The Auditor became so mocb atlrfcetid by the Sdo fertile soil of this section that he almost foreswore public 1 fe in ortler to get a farm in that sec tion. Suffice it to say that Mr. Mack and bis attractive wife gave ue most cordial treatment. Wednesday morning fourd us at the live little town of Swansea where the ciM*z?os are as business like as you please. Swansea grows lowly, but her improvement is teady ard sure?may be the best -growth after alt. We were surpris* d to hear some of the good people of this prosperous section talking new county. We would much rat iter hear tbem talking of methods to increase the prosperity of our present county, and thereby add to tb*ir own commercial p-osperity. Let's take s pride in our old county as she stands and help pu*h her further to the fron*. This will prove far more beneficial than to divide ourselves up j into small and expensive counties. j Wednesday right was pleasantly j spent at the borne of our old friend; Mr. W. Andrew Derrick, a kinsman of the Auditor. He is well-fixed, has a good firm, a full crib, and a larder well supplied wiih good j things. His wife and daughter are j industrious and bis boys ambitious and prosperous. No man could be j more pleasantly situated, everything i to point to bis happiness and pros- J perity. We were next well cared for at Gantt Hotel. A9 soon as our business had been completed we reluctantly left, ard directed our way to the Sandy Kan sectioo. At the special invitation of \T. Henry Crim we abode with him that night, where we enjoyed very much the kind treatment of hie excellent family. They are good company and truly were we glad that it was our pleasure to be entertained so royally by Henry snd his good lady. He is indeed a generous and valuable citizen and ought to be appreciated by his community. . With the week Dearly gone, we found ourselves at the Red Store, where the Auditor took account of the worldly goods of the good citizens thereabouts. As time passes changes occur. We noted this time that the old Aseman homestead had changed hands. Mr. Lee Muller, - - * * - i who had owned it, has tola out ana gone lo another community. Mr. Herbert Geiger has purchased it, and we feel sure that under his successful business management the grand old homestead will continue to give evidences of prosperity and healthy improvements. While here we were not forgotten, but were delightfully entertained at the residence of Mr J. C. Muller. He is a clever and industrious son of Dr. Win. Muller, so well and familiarly known by the people of his day as oie of Lexington's most substantial citizens. We were indeed proud to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Muller and her bright daughter. They are ladies of intelligence and refinement, and with all indeed, kind and considerate of this humble scribe. It was our pleasure while here to chat with some of the good people of this section?some old, giviDg evidences of the cares and worries of this life, others ytung and buoyant, fall of hope and confidence. So it is with life?a narrow span fcwixfc birth and eternity. We bade them adieu and called by to see cur frieDd Archie Wolfe, who was as jovial and entertaining as usual. Thus we passed the time and F.iday night found us at the comfortable home of Mr. Wm. N MartiD, where it is always a pleasure to stop. ! We were made to feci at home by our host and his txuellent good lady. This place is the noted old home of the once John H. Thre<witts, a prominent and well-to do planter of "Savanah hunt, which never runs dry.'' We were reluctant to leave, but at 3 p. m , we set face for home via Pine Flats and Styx. We reached home about 7 o'clock after a long ride, where we found everything o. k. The negro, who is charged with the murder of young Howell, during the holidays, three tniles out from Columbia, is still at large. Several ne groes have been arrested, but have been released on account of inauffi cient evidence to hold them. Every effort is being made to capture the murderer who committed this foul deed. The Good Roads Couveotion met in Columbia yesterday with over 100 delegates present. Senator Latimer and Gov. Heyward made logical addresses. This was one of the most enthusiastic meetings held since the Association has been formed. Four robbers held up a Seaboard Air Line train in Florida last Saturday. The baggage car was blown open with dynamite, but the lobbers received no money. Spartanburg iovites the State Democratic Convention to meet iu that city aud promises a hospitable reception. Yesierday was the birthday cf Gen. Robert E L?e. The Governor offers a reward t f $10 J io this issue for the apprehension and conviction of Campbell SnpftlfQ. wh > it* phnrjjf.fi with thp ' ? - ? e>? j murder of Perry Isaac in this county, j on the 8th day cf N.?ember, 1903. We are in receipt of a post office money order renewing Dr. J Q. Williams' paper for another year. He has a nice practice akH^rway, S. C , and is progressing in his profession. We are informed that a pietty baby girl has lately enteied his home. Wfeen you go to meet the Auditor to assets, don't forget to take your dues for the Dispatch and pay the Editor.
