Again we undertake to chronicle the event?, happenings and what we saw on our rourd with the Auditor last week. The first point on oar schedule was Pfelion. The distance down there necessitated our leaving home Sunday evening in order that the Auditor might be on hand Monday morning to prospect with his business of assessing. About dark we reached our destination. In response to sn invitation we spent the night with Dr. Neese. We were the recipient of kind hospitality at the hands of the Doctor and his wife, and we will not soon forget our visit to this elt-gaot home.j We find Peiion a lively little town, aLd the business men there seem to be prosperous. From all indications the merchants have a fine trade to support their business. Monday afternoon after the Auditor bad filled bis engagement we were accompanied by our good old friend, John McCarthe, to bis borne, where the latch always hangs on the outside,- awaiting -our coming. If we had not called lo see these good people, wouldn't have felt as if our visit to that section bad been complete. Here we were pleasantly quartered until Tuesday morning when we pulled reins for Mr. Jacob Williams, where we found some folks awaiting our arrival. The Auditor dispatched what business was to be dODO hdu we weie sckjli uu uut w ay i to Steadman. When we arrived, there were Dot many people present, but the crowd lucreated rapidly and the Auditor was kepi busy until sun down. Tue town is holding its own and the people thereabout seem to be coment with life. When Light came ou we were comfortably quartered at the home of our fiiend Wm Westmoreland, where we are always made to feel at home, by the good rtreatment to kindly accorded us. ?ill is a clever fx liow, and we were .pleased to learn that his last years i&usiness was good and his prospects for another are fine. Wednesday evening we reached The huefcling town of Batesburg. ' The Auditor and I here separated. One went to the Batesburg Hotel snd the other to the Culluui House These are the homes of the commercial men and the traveling public, who erj >y eaWg every thing good. We found the mercnants not as busy as we have fptn thfui, but by no ?Pjrmnra tvorP hrtnoitlC* ! iU'oau3 lun, jl ^ _ o o in some cotton and cotton seed and carrying back fertilizers 8Dd provisions. Tbe town continues to improve ! and all the cit'zecs appeared to be er joying a goodly portion of prosperity. Thursday evening we It ft Bafcsburg and drove to Leesville. We were sumptiously cared for at the Kinard Hotel. This is one of the most popular estopping places between Columbia and Angus;a, and it deserves its popularity, having every thing for comfort. Tnen toe. Mr. Kinard gives personal attention to his guests. Wf do not wonder that so many traveling men make it a lay-over point. By an invitation from Dr. E. J. Eibeiedge we spent the Digbt with him in his elegant new home, which is handsomely furnished. We rested well, the Auditor snoring loud ly. The Doctor is well situated and eojoys a lucrative dental practice, an evidence of popularity in bis community. We were glad to meet bis lovely wife and see bis bright little children again. Leesville continues to grow and ber business is good, all the mercbaitfs.eeem to be enjoying a liberal trade from around tbe eurrounding conn try. Fiiday Digbt we spent with our young friend Cyrus L. Shealy, at Summit, where he and his good old mother made us perfectly at home. We did indeed ei j >y their good company and excellent honpitality. The next morning the Auditor got right down to good work and finished up with the tax payers in the forenoon, and we were soon on our way to Lewiedale, our next and last point for the week. Here we left Mr. Cyru9 L Sheaiy in charge aDd bfter exchanging an occassional handshake and calling on the merchants arid business men we for home, where we arrived about 5pm We thoroughly en j :>yed our rounds. It is always a pleasure to meet wi;h and miDgle with the good people of any sec ion of our county. Prospects for a good crop were in evidence in nearly every section we visited, and the people generally seemed to be in a prosperous condition, in conssquence, we suppose, of'15 cents cotton. What a pity it is that so many of our good citizens had to sell their cotton for 10 cents and less. We are glad though that the present indications are that it will bring a good price next year. Let us hope so any way. The Mexican boil weevil may as well pack up for a return to his [ native haunts. The war against him has begun and the sinews have been provided by Congress, a round quarter of a million dollars having been appropriated by the House cf Representatives for the expenses of the campaign. j As the authorities of the Ij xiogton Manufacturing Company will soon double its capacity, why net make arrangements to have our town a lighted up with electric lights and put in water woiks for fire protection ? The experience of the year past should help to make the success of tb? 3 ear in prospect. If you made mistakes last year you koow the whys and wberefoies of them and bow they may be avoided. Deaths. Thomas L Kaminer was born January 20, 18*26, and died January 24, 1904, aged 78 years and 4 days. He was married to Miss Susan Kelley in 1852, to them were born 6 sons and 2 daughters, 2 sous and both daughters preceded him. He leaves 2 sisters, a wife, 4 sens, 27 grand, and 7 great-grand children wuh many fiiends and relatives to mourn bis departure. He was a good soldier, a quiet oil.iyon ?nd npiohhnr.
