T A 1642, 1644 AND 164 $ Columb > Summit News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: j March is well on now and our j farmers are makiDg active prepsra- J tions for the season's crop. Several car loads of guano were hauled away from here last week. The people, generally, are using more this year than last. I know of one man who will use something like 45 sanks and runs onlv one dIow. 4'A "" m/ ' A. bale to the acre" is his motto. Those of our people who experimented with tobacco last year are not "in it" this season. The very low price about marketing time brought on such expense to those who had just begun that they will not venture again just yet. Though, another season may see several acres under cultivation. Mr. James Caughman, of Swansea, . was in town last Saturday. If the Japs and Russians would but load their guns with some of their out landish names, the war would end with a few discharges and the slaughter would be terriffic. Mr. W. W. Taylor, formerly of this section, recently of Columbia, has moved back and will work a crop of corn and "boxes." The public terra of school at this j place closed on February 2(5.h, after having run four months and one week. Owing to our already being engaged for this year and our immense business intereet here, we have had to decline an offer of $7,000 a year and expenses to act as correspondent for one ot our leading dailies for the I Japanese-Russian war. We would love to go to the front and could ubc the money mighty well, but duty holds us here in Lexington county. It would almost wreck us to break away from friends, family bonds and business, but we just can't stand many such offers. This writer had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of Mr. R. E. Shealy's school at the "Old Field1' school house near here, t* : j :_Li. nf l i mi on j? nuay mgui, uxarcu ? j.ue very large crowd and small house prevented a good number of those present from hearing the interesting and well rendered program.

We know of several places where the bouses are totally unfit for school purposes ?the walls containing boles that the Darn ect could easily skip through, the roof is leaky, with a loosely laid plank loft for ceiling and lights that are greatly insufficient. Aud, too, such buildings, are to be found in other counties than Lexington. We would like to know how the occuDants of such shacks can be made i ? comfortable at any season * Yet the tru&tees and patrons make no more better conditions and still expect the teachers to do good woik. There are eome people we would certainly like to see try teaching for a time. It is true that our public schools run as long as our people will spare their children (the average length of schools in this county last year was five and a half months, if I mistake not) but we need a good sum to make the necessary improvements on our school buildings and apparatuses. We must be well (quipped if we are i to make the best possible progress i and progress we must make at any cost. Mack May. March 7, 1901 Letter to Scott Kendriz. t ?4. c! n -UCA.lUglUU, O. \J. Dear Sir: Devoe is worth $4 or $5 a gallon, put-or; how mucti is another paiDt worth? Depends on how many gallons you've get to put-on, to be equal tc one of Devoe. Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa., painted two houses one coat, five years ago, iead-and-oil, took 40 gallons. Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for same houses; had 10 gallons left. Mr. N. Avery. Delhi, N. Y., owns two bouses exactly alike; painted one with Devoe; took 6 gallons. The other with some other; took 12 gal Ions. What'd you give for those o? paints? Bear in mind, you've got tc pay for the painting. Y mrs truly, F. W. Devoe Sc Co , New York. Jr. b. lne Aautmann Drug (Jo., sells our paint. Spring flowers and fruit trees art blooming profusely.

The latest report says Mr. R B. Hiller of Hilton, and Mr. John A. Wessmger of Ballentine, S. C., who have been suffering from tumor of stomach have about made up their minds to have an operation performed. The former, Mr. Hiller, will go to Columbia, S. C., the latter will go to Johns-Hopkins, Baltimore. We hope for their speedy recovery. Mr. Editor, as the political pot is beginning to simmer we may think it rather early to mention the names of the prospective candidates for Solicitor and the various offices of the county who have been mentioned in connection with these offices. Time moves in a hurry. The constitution provides that on the fourth Saturday in April, or during the week in which the fourth Saturday occurs that all the Democratic clubs shall meet and elect delegates to the County Conventions and nominate one Member of the County Executive Committee. Oa the first Monday in May the County Democratic Con ventions meet to elect a County Chairman, a County Executive Com1 mittee, delegates to the State Convention, and to nominate a momber of the State Executive Committee. The County Conventions choose the County Executive Committee as recommended by the various clubs, the State Convention elects the State Executive Committee as nominated by the County Conventions. So you see, Mr. Editor, it will not be long before these meetings will ba called, , and for the satisfaction of those who , have made up their minds to offer themselves for the various offices of the county, we give the names of the f prospective candidates for the com, ing campaign: For Solicitor.?Rembert, Tompkins and Logan, from Richlan.d; McSirupkias, George Evans, from Edgefield; Eugene Blease, of Saluda; Geo. 3 Bell Timmerman, from Lexington. For State Senator.?Hon. W. H. Sharpe, Hon. D. F. Efird, and Dr. D. ' M. Crosson. Members of the House?Hon. J. per in 1904? If so, yon VISIL RICHLAND STREETS, - - - s. c. von: ami Slioes.

Miss Jessie Caughman, who is, eaching the Corinth school in Saluda :ounty, spent Saturday and Sunday vitk her parents. She was accom)anied by Miss Lucile Wise. Mr. and Mre. Fred L Shealy, who vere called to the bedside of the ormer's father, have returned to heir home at Graniteville. Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Shealy have eturned from a visit to relatives aDd 'riends in Effingham county, Ga. It vas reported that they would make ;heir home in Georgia but that was a nistake. Mr. J. A E Shealy, who has been it Langley for a few months, has returned home to take charge of his farm. The farmers are preparing their land for another crop and from what we can learn they will plant an average crop of corn. Oar farmers are not excited over the high price of cotton and will plant only an average crop. This is as it should be for the oats crop will be a failure to some extent and the farmers will need a larger supply of corn. Lloyd.
