Our Trip Continued. j
The. third wetk of our pilgrimage 1
found us on the road Monday of last
week bound for Irmo. On arriving
there, it was our good fortune to fall
into the hands of Mr. EL A. Lorick,
whose hospitality is as large as his
heart and bis heart is as large as the
world. Hamp is a splendid business
man and we are truly glad to know
that he is prospering.
The town of Irmo, like that of
Lexington, has the disadvantage of
being too near Columbia with her excellent
market, but notwithstanding
this great drawback, her merchants
are pusbiog ahead with an enterprise
that is commendable and a tenacity
that is worthy to be imitated. Oar
friend John W. Hook is up to head
in business. Besides conducting a
lucrative mercantile business, he is
the polite and accommodating railroad
agent of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroad, and the
efficient and reliable telegraph operator
at Irmo- In all the duties of life
as a husband, father, a friend and a
citizen he is careful to discharge
them faithfully, wisely and charitably.
Lorick & Lorick, two enterprising
and progressive young business men
have recently enlarged their already
commodious store in order to meet
the increasing demands of their
growing business.- Mr. L. S. Mathias,
the old reliable of the place, is
still hulding his own and in addition
is adding new customers every day.
This speaks well for his fair dealings,
his honesty and accommodation.
After a very restful night at home
we started early Tuesday morning for
Ballentine. _ On arriving there we
found the Treasurer, (who had speDt
a pleasent night with Mr. James W.
Shealy) with war paint on ready to
scoop in the dues of the State and
county from the taxpayers of that
vicinity. Mr. Jas. S. Boozer looked
fat and happy. Jim has made money
there in merchandising, but thinks
that he can do better at Chapin and
speaks of moviog there. After waiting
upon the taxpayers and subscribers,
we drove to Mrs. Busby's and
enjoyed a splendid dinner, and soon
some of the substantial citizens and
subscribers began to gather for the
purpose of "forking over" what,
they owed.
We spent Tuesday night at White
Rock with our old friend David A.
Richardson, where we always feel at
* home and eDjoy his kindness and
I attention. Messrs. Richardson &
RichardsoD, and our old war chum,
J. Belt Shealy, are the merchants,
carrying ample stocks of goods and
are enjoying a good trade. They are
clever business men and deserve a ,
larse measure of success.
Having finished up our work there j
we drove up to Hilton and found
Johnny Green Hilier as lively as
usual and enjoying a wide trade, i
We did not meet the usual crowd j
who congregate there on similar occasions
in the days gone by, consequently
there was but little pickings !

for ihe J'leasurer aDd dues for the

AmickV. by special invitation from
himself aDd son Bachman, (who married
one of our. young lady friends)
"We. spent the night pleasantly. Elias
is excellent company and no one caD
be in his company without eDj'oyiDg
themselves.
At SpriDg Hill we found a few of
the ''Lord's of Creation" and turned
them away satisfied with having done
a good .day's work in lightening their
pockets and makiDg those of the
Treasurer and editor heavier. There
j t ^.u~
are gooa peopie id luib vicuuii.jr wuu
are worthy citizens and "good livers."
We drove to the town of Peak
where we are always delighted to
stop. The town has improved some
since last we paw it. Mr. Suber, one
of the town's general merchants, has
built a large two story store house
and filled it with a nicely assorted
stock of goods suitable to meet the
demands of his trade. The Eargle
boys are with him and are popular
with the people. Mr. Johnny Swygert,
another popular merchant carries
a neat stock and eDjoys his share
cf the trade. Mr. W. A. Summer
also has a nice line of general merchandise
and is not a whit behind
tire ofcheas in progressivenese and
popularity. Mr. Wm. Wilson is the
cotton buyer and always offers the
tiptop market prices. Mr. Bushardt
is still the polite and accommodating
postmaster and is one of the best
pmployee3 in Uccle Sam's service.
The town hail has been freshly
painted and sdda much to the appearance
of the town. The education!
interests of the community is
ably looked after by Miss Elizabeth
Dominick, who is a lady of accomplishment,
culturu and refinement.
She is doing a great work for tb9
people of the community and is building
up characters that will produce
honor to tjbe town and country. The
largest crowd perhaps that we met
in the Fork was gathered there and
the collections were good. We enjoyed
Thanksgiving Day at Mrs.
Stack's hotel who is a genial hostess.
At the Cross Roads we met the
usual number of prompt paying citizens
of that section and soon we
were on our way to Chapin. Here
we met a large crowd and they really
aeempri ftriYiniiB r.n render im the
| tenth due^this grand government of
j ourB. These people are alwayB
I prompt paying and are among the
I most substantial and progressive
people of the county. The town is
improving and the merchants are enjoying
a good trade. Messrs. Frick
& Frick, J. S. Wessinger, and "Bub"
Williams carry good stocks and pay
the highest-prices for produce. Mr.
Comeiander also pleases bis customers
with bargains, while Dr. H. P.
Meetze dispenses medicines to the
sick, and bupplies the community
with candies, fruite, etc. Bub Williams
is the postmaster and serves
the people with promptness and dispstcn

Mr. Eobartson?s fine saw and lumber
mill is still giving a large number of
hands' employment. He ships a
large quantity of lumber to all points.
The factory project is again talked of
end the probability is that it will be
carried to success. Mr. Robertson,
with his liberality and progressiveness
is at the head of the enterprise
and this is An assurance that ChaDin

presides over the educational interest
of tbe town and community, assisted
by Miss Blaucbe Kyzer, with satisfaction
to patrons and pupils.
Our last night in the Fork we
spent with Mr. J. E. C. Shea-.y and
family. Mr. Sbealy is cne of our
best citizens and a successful farmer
and bis barns are always full and be is
surrounded by everything to make a
man happy.
After h good night:s rest we drove
over to Uncle Josh Sbeaiy's and met
a small crowd of anxious taxpayers
waiting to render unto Ceasar tbe
thiDgs that are Ceasar's. Uncle Josh
and all were well. About 11 o'clock
we had collected all tbe "chinks"
possible and pulled out fcr Lexington.
"Prince", it seemed, knew that
we were homeward bound and
covered tbe distance in handsome
style. We crossed tbe river at
Wyse's Jt'erry ana regretted mat u
was not the free bridge, which is so
much needed by the Fork people to
give them equal conveniences wilh
their brethren on the south side to
reach their Court House and to open
up a safe and sure way to transport
their products to market, and make
them happy and contented with their
invironment. We are satisfied more
now than ever before that these
bridges will come at an early day, as
the people's necessities demand them.
The people as a whole are in good
spirits, but are anxiously awkitiDg
the decision of the Supreme Court in
the railroad bond case, otherwise
they are happy. Many of them are
holding cotton for better prices aDd
expect to have a good Christmas, let
the world wag which way it may.
Gov. Heyward has appointed Hon.
D. F. Efird, of near here, and E. F.

Obituary.
Omar Cook, eon of P. H. and L.
R Cook, was born November 30th,
1892, died November 19.h, 1904.
Agpti 11 years, 11 months and 19
days.
rid was baptised in infancy by the
speakei; was a faithful Sunday
school scholar and delighted in giving
to the support of orphans and the
spread of the gospel. He had reached
the 8ge when he began to talk of
taking on himself his baptismal vows,
showing1 his hopes were not all in
o *
this world. In bis home relations he
^ was a bright boy, dutiful to his parents
and ever mindful of the comforts
of those around him. He has left
a void in the family circle sorely felt
bv all who came in daily contact with
him.
O.oe little brother had preceded
him to the spirit land. ^
Mr. and Mrs. Pickens H. Cook and
family, and also the grandparents of
the lovely little Oscar, have the profound
sympathy of the entire community
in their deep bereavement.
The funeral services were conducted
bv Revs. J. G. Graicben and W.
D Qaick in Providence Lutheran
cburcn, LexicgtoD, S. C., in the
presence of a large and sorrowful
congregation. Tbe sermon was . .
ba^ed on Matthew 17:1 8 The interment
took place; in the cemetery
acj fining the church. May tbe
(?rttcp be given to the bereft parents
and disconsolate relatives to saj:
By Thy hands the boon was given.
Thou bust taken bur Thine own:
Lord of earrli and God of heaven,
Evermore, Thy will be done.

I
| Treasurer Shesly, who prides hirni
self as a handsome fellow and
j imagines all' the ladies fall in love
| with him, bad for his assistant oa
his collection rounds, Mr. Clifton
! Smith, one of Black Creek's cham;
pioD beaux, aDd quite a good lookJ
ing fellow. Oa our rounds we
| noticed several young ladies taking
j sly peeps at him, but the evidence
! is that he lost hia heart on one of
Bitesburg's beautiful widows, and
he is seriously considering the proposition
of moving there so that he
can be near her.
After completing our round of the
Fork, we returned home and found
our office work had accumulated
eo much that we had to forego the
pleasure of accompanying the Treasurer
in Hollow Creek. We regret
this very much as it was our inten
! tion to visit those friends, but life
| is full of disappointments and this
| is one of them.
