To the Editor of the Dispatch: To the average Lexingtonian who has become imbued with a rambling disposition it is always a pleasure to receive the Dispatch as it brings news of the "old folks at home," and causes bis memory to revert to the days of his youth which are long since past and gone, ily memory ruminates upon those halcyon days this balmy spring evening as I feebly endeavor to pen a few lines for your columns. Although some distance from the red hills and sandy plains of Lexington I do not consider that I am "a stranger in a strange land," for one only has to be a resident of the hustling little city of Bamberg a few days to realize mat ne is among a Kina, generous and hospitable people, whose homes present cheerfulness and a hearty welcome to all. Bamberg is one of the thriving towns of the low country, with a citizenship thatworksin harmony for the interest and upbuilding of the town. Being situated in a fine agricultural country the town injoys a good trade and a great volume of business of all kinds is transacted. A large cotton mill, situated in the heart of the town, furnishes employment to a large number of families from which source the merchants derive a lucrative trade. The town has many other industries, such as iron works, cotton oil mill, bank smoking tobacco factory, two newspapers, several hotels and boarding bouses, two large buggy and wagon manufactories, a graded i ? u:,.i ?ii~ BUUUUJ tiLiu a ui^cer lueuituiiyu ui learning known as the Carlisle Fitting school of Wuffjrd College. We have several mercantile houses which are weli stocked with goods that are sold at the lowest possible figures. The water is furnished from artesian wells and is not altogether pleasant to the taste of one who has never used it, but it is said to contain mineral qualities and is considered very healthful. Your scribe holds a position in the printing establishment of Mr. A. W. KnigLt who, besides publishing the Herald, one of the best weekly papers in the State, does a large amount of j ' book and job printing, which is turned j out with neatness and dispatch. Mr. Knight is one of the kindest and most accomodating men that I have ever been associated with and his employees are very much attached to him. He is an all-round business man as is evidenced by his prosperknainnco Ra k Q C UUC QUU giu VTIU^ UUOIUCCD' JllU JLHAW in contemplation the improvement and enlargement of his plant and intends to install a linotype machine at an early day in order to turn off work with greater speed. Mr. Knight seems to appreciate the worth of Lexington men. Besides myself Mr. J. Mayo Ogilvie, a former Dispatch typo, is employed on the Herald and Master Junius B. Bailey, son of your humble 6cribe, who is the "devil" of the office, holds bis case with all the ease and dignity of a veteran printer. Upon my arrival here it was my pleasure to receive a hand-clasp from Kev. M. W. Hook, pastor of the Methodist church, who is also a Lexingtonian. He is in charge of a large and prosperous congregation and his whole soul seems to be in his work. He is an able and eloquent preacher and a hard worker in his Master's vineyard, and he holds the love and esteem of the entire member ship of bis church. Appreciative of the fact that I am intruding on your columns which might be filled with reading matter of more interest to your readers I will close my rambling letter with best wishes to the Dispatch and all my Lexington friends.

A most ^ laxaChiaa's Attitude. Tien Tsio, March 2-4.?Toe Russian govemmen^bas instructed the military attache of the legation at Pekin to ascertain the number of trooDs and the strength of the arma ment of the Chinese Dear the MsdchuriaD frontier. The attache asked for a passport, but was refused and this is believed to indicate that, the Chinese government is not willing to let the Russians know the details of military movements on the frontier. The Russian and French agents keep a close ws'ch on China. Should China join Japan in the war against Russia, France would interfere and the result would be a war involving England and probably other European powers. All the Acts Signed. Governor Heyward, says the Columbia Stat*\ has completed the work of signing the acts passed at the resent session of the legislature.
