Our
Trip ia The Couatry.
We say without attempt to use any
frills and dressings that it is a source
of great pleasure to us to make these
semi-annual trips through our county,
as it gives opportunity of witnessing
the every day life of our people as it
really exists and also the pleasure of
meeting our friends in their homes
to rejoice with those who rejoice and
sorrow with those who sorrow. So
it was with feeliDgs akin to these
that we left our office work last Tuesday
morning 8nd wended our way

[CrOQ^Q lUIlg buei^uea ui oauu auu
through black jack groves to zreet
the good people of the Qaston community
where we arrived in due
course of time in company with the
County Treasurer. On account of
the election being held there that
day, the appointment of the Treasurer
was convenient for the tax payers
as they could vote and pay taxes
and settle for their county paper all
at the same time. There were quite
? * 1
a cu merer ui peopie preaeuii suu iuc
tax collector received more tban at
the 88metime of the year in any previous
collections for a number of
years. These people have made fine
crops and now live at home and
board at the same place. They are
better able now than they have been
in years prior to meet their every
obligation and be it saidt to their
credit, ihey are promptly doing so
at maturity. We were sorry to
notice that the place had made no
progress since last we were there.
In fact the place is at a Btand still.
We left Gaston about Bundown
and arrived at the pleasant home of
our old friend, D. E. Craft, where
we spent the night in comfort and
ease. Elmore is a clever man and a
successful farmer and has -raised an
interesting and useful family.
Wednesday morning we were at
the Cross Boads and were pleased to
iind Mr. Joseph W. Reeder stili there
holding the fort with a determination
that means success in all his
undertakings and we sincerely trust
that all bis hopes may eventually be
realized.
Our. next meeting point, according
to schedule time, was at Mr.
Jacob Macks, who is at all times the
busiest man in Lexington county,
After we exchanged taxes and newsI
paper receipts with the people for
! cash and spending a short while in
i social chat with the people of that
community, who are among the most
substantial and well-to-do people oi
our county, we took up our lines for
the comfortable home of Mr. E.
Mack. Mr. Mack certainly has mucb
cause for great rejoicing, being surrounded
with all that goes to make
life worth living. He has a very
j fine plantation and farms on the hypothesis
that the earth owes him a
! living if be has only the energy, the
j industry and the intelligence fcc
j make her give, forth the increase,

degree, the consequences is that bis
barns, bis smokehouse and oribs are
always foil.
Early Thursday morning we arrived
at; tbe basfcliDg little city of
Swacses, which is eligibly situated
on tbe Fiorida, Central and Pennisular
Railroad. Swansea as usual
was alive with people from tbe surrounding
country who bad come
there for tbe purpose of transacting
tbe affairs of every day life. Mr. W.
H. F. Rasfc, tbe old standby merchant
of the town, who was at tbe
dedication of the town to business
and stood godfather for it. has a fine
stock of general merchandise scd
*3"
erj )ys a large share of the patronage
of the people of that surrounding
country,?while Messrs. P. E. Hotto,
T. C. Reynolds and Thomas L. Martin,
who are all clever gentleman and
thoroughgoing business men. are
doing well with their nice, selected
and complete stocks of general merchandise.
Mrs. P. E. Hatfco carries
a beautiful stock of exquisite millin
ery which is in charge of a tasty and
competent young lady milliner from
Baltimore. There is also another
well kept millinery store conducted
by some ladies, who it is said, also
enjoy a good trade. Mr. W. B Raet,
who looks after the industrial interests
of the place, has recently greatIv
improved his manufacturing plant
Besides having a good saw mill, planing
and lath machinery, be has just
a t?ot>carinn nnlfifc oriii to
pUli/UODOU 9 UUVMV ?UU MO
prepared to make all kinds of crates
and baskets for various kinds of
fruits. All his machinery is 5ret
class in every respect and its capacity
is sufficiently large to supply an
increased demand. He gives employment
to a large number of bands
which greatly adds to the business
of the town. He is a man of untiring
energy, progressive in his ideas
and industrious in habits and is
meeting with that deserved success
which bis enterprise entitles him to
receive.
We spent Thursday night with
Mr. J. West Crim, who is widely
known in that community for bis
good company, good wit and good
looks.
Ftiday morning our place of meeting
was at the Red Store where the
good people, who are always prompt
j in paying their obligations due the
i State, kept the Treasurer busy like
at Swansea, from the time of his arrival
until his departure. In fact he
had to remain awhile in the night to
comoiebe his work.
From this place we went to Mr.
W. N. Martin's, where we met only
a few tax payers. Here it was our
, privilege to enjoy a eupurb dinner
prepared by Mrs. Martin. She i6
unquestionably one of the best housewives
in the county and what she
does not know what to do with pots
and kettles &ad the wherewithal^
neressryftr cooking is not worth
' knowing.

the night with Bister Jonaan Earbardt

course, goes without sajing that we
bad a delightful time and a good
night's re^t.
Saturday we went over to the
hustling town of Brockland. The
merchants all seemed to be eij lying
a good trade and all bad a happy
and contented appearance which always
follows in the wske of a good
trade day.
We were pleased to Dotice gd this
round that the peop'e as a whole are
in a better condition than they have
been in jears before. Tbey have as
& rule, made and housed abundant
crops of ftll kinds and are better
j prepared to begin the next planting

A New Borne.
Mr. D C Harman is contemplating
leaving Lexington to find him a home
at Cross Hill, Laurens county. He
' thinks he will be satisfied ther, but
. we are of the opinion ibat ere long
be will conclude, like others have
done, that there is no place like Lexington,
and we confidently look for
bis early return to the settlement,
were he has been a useful and upright
citizen. But anyhow, we can
- c 1
consistly commend bim and hif
estimable family to ibe people oi
Cross Hill, as being a family id everj
way worthy of tbeir good graces.
