On account of imperative business j consideration, which demanded our immediate personal attention, we were prevented from attending the campaign meeting at Sandy Run as i we would have liked to have done 1 and under other circumstances would have. The report of that meeting rings with a harmony of delicious of the hospitable manner in which the candidates were treated by the nonrilo nf that vntincr nrflr?irif>h U4 VUUV V V/VtM^ ^ - ww?-w ? Tney were entertained at a bounteous fish fry and even the lovely women of that lovely spot contributed of their pantry edibles of deliehoue dishes and dainty and palatable relishes, to add to the enjoyment and pleasure of "the men who are running for office." This kind thoughtfulness on the part of Sandy Run's patriotic sons and noble women is greatly appreciated by the campaigners and will ever be treasurered in the archives of memory as the most pleasant and agreeable incident connected with the campaign of 1904 There was a large outpouring of the people and each and every candidate present was given a kind, respectful and attentive hearing. It was in all respects an ideal meeting. At the close of the meeting the candidates met and adopted the following preamble and resolutions as a mark of the appreciation of the generous hospitality they received: Cnvin/f viiuci o Sandy Run Township, Lexington County, Aug. 3, 1904. Whereas, at the regular campaign meeting for Sandy Run Township, for the canvaes of 1904, held on historic ground, in full veiw of the beautiful valley of the famous Congaree, near the home of a revolutionary heotine, Miss Emily Geiger, as well as in a community which has produced a number of noted statesmen and gifted politicians, we the candidates for the various offices for Lexington county, were the recipients of a bountiful fish fry-picDic dinner, furnished and prepared by the good people of the community. And whereas, this is an entirely new feature of political campaign for old LexingtoD. therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the candidates, in meeting assembled, at the aforesaid time and place, do hereby express to these good people our high appreciation of tbe voluntary kindness shown us," and we expect long to remember it, among the time honored principles of the democratic party.

B. Addy. Frank W. Sbealy, Sam!. B George, Committee for Candidates. We pined the campaign party at Swansea and found them still ping^ v the praises of their Sandy Run friends. Swansea is deotined to be one of our most thriving and populous towns. It is eligably situated in a splendid country. The out lying farms are rich, fertile and very productive. Tbe people are industrious, hospitable and independent financiallv and otherwise. Swansea has a bright futu3 filled with great possibilities for her growth and development. We are always glad of the opportunity of mingling with these good people as we have many warm friends among them. H.on. W. H. F. Rast, the township chairman called the meeting to order but soon after had to request Mr. P. E. Hutto to take his place, on account of ill health. The crowd numbered about four hundred and quite a number of "ladies were present. The candidates were given a close and respectful hearing. The speaking began with the candidates for County Commissioners and closed with those for Solicitor. Hon. A. F. Levei being present responded to a call in an eloquent appeal to the I democracy of Lexington county to i vote in the general election. He strongly setfortb reasons for doing so, and his speech accomplished much good along this line. He is a general favorite with his people. Mr. Coats' 'cue was fine and was greatly eDjoyed by all. Gaston is another of the small but growing towns of Lexington county. It also has many advantages which only needs a little capital and a great deal of energy to make it what it should be?a good business town on the Seaboard Air Line. The people of this vicinity, like the people in every other community of Lexington county, are generou3 with their hospitality. On occasions of large assemblages they keen open houses for the accommodation and comfort ? r\? tUrktM fwiAf%/)n \jl turn ii'cuuo. At about 10 o'clock Chairman G A. Goodwin, one of the most popular and genial citizens of the community, announced that the candidates would entertain the crowd for a short time with their claims for support. There was a large and representative crowd of voters present. The speaking was opened with the candidates for State Senator and closed with those for County Commissioner. Mr. G- P. Logan was the only candidate present running for Solicitor and addressed the people in favor of his candidacy for that office. The candidates were all well pleased with the attention given them. Mr. Lever epoke here also again urging the people to vote in the general election. Brookland is the metropolis of the county and is growing in strength every day. Its business men are live ana progressive as weil as public spirited, taking a great interest in ail that promises to bear fruit to the growth and development of the town and the enlargment of its interests. | They carry large and varied stocks of general merchandise and a large volume of business is beiDg dene, i Its people are generous, kind and ! hospitable and very industrious, enterprising and energetic. The meeting was held in the beautiful pine grove. The crowd was Dot as large as those of previous meetings but there was no lack in the interest manifested nor lagging in the attention given the candidates. Mr. W. D. Dent was the chairman and introduced the candidates, com- ! mencing a* the tale and going up. I The candidates for Solicitor closed j the speaking, each one making logi- j cal and brilliant claims for the office. j This meeting closed the program of j the week and it was with a feeling of great relief that we took the train at Columbia for home. The candidates are enduring the hardships and burdens of the campaign with remarkable "Christian fortitude," and patience. They are a jolly and genial set and are conducting the campaign on a high plane, each one depending upon his own merits rather than upon the short nnminna r?f hifi nnrtnnfinffl fnr nnliti^al h" ?? "rrv"v r preferment, and should the campaign continue and end as it has commenced the candidates will retire from the field in the best of humor one with another. Items on the Route. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The north bound freight was wecked just below Gilbert on the large fill last Friday evening. One flat or rock car and two box cars were derailed and badly torn up. The road was also badly torn up and the rails twisted as if they had been straws. No one was hurt. The accident happened just as the train was clearing the fill. The wrecking train came at once but did not succeed in clearing the road until 9 o'clock next day. It is said that there was a hobo on the box just behind the last one that was wrecked. Guess he got some, what jostled. Rain, rain and yet the wes.tber man said: Rain today and Wednesday. A protracted meeting is in progress at Convent. The pastor is assisted by Re v. H. M. Fallaw and a good meeting is expected. Henry is a Lexington boy of whom we are proudCrcps are locking fine and do not seem to be suffering fcr rain. Mr. Oilie Shumpert lost a small child last week. J. L. ?mitb, the contractor, is away at Newberry at work, but he gets his mail on the R. F. D. Seme times one asks, "what are you hauling so many watermelons about for?" "Cause they give them to me, don't you see?". E W. Taylor gave me one that weighed?0 my! and measured? ge whiz 1 Smith Boys' barbecue Saturday. Come and bring your girl Klondike. Erskine News. Tc the Editor of the Dispatch: Rain in abundance. The heaviest rain fell about 3 o clock Tuesday tfcat we have had in several years. The health of our community is very good, since the death of Mr. Boozer, who died at Mr. Pit e Amick's mill Monday. Crops are looking very well but too much rain for them at present. We regret that Mr. M. L. Warner and family are going to leave us this winter. Erakice's loss will be Irmo's gain. Mrs. P. E. Black is visiting relatives and friends at Cross Hill and Waterloo, S.
