D man now walks to ride and rides to walk. Farmers in this section are pushing their work for a'l they are worth ?nrt ftpf-m to be in pood snirits. and all are determined to hold what cotton they have on band for at least ten cents. Our colored brothers are in line with us aDd all seem well able to bold it All say cotton Deitber eats nor driDks aDd cost nothing to hold it. Backed witb a fine crop of corn and pleDty of feed stuff, why not hold our cotton. Rtv B C.

Well, our legislators have put the dog at half the value of a man and almost the value of a common horse. Why is it that dogs should be taxed higher than other property ? Is this right? My answer is no! Our legisl&turemen when on their rounds to ask for office tell us tbe great and good things they would do if elected, but after tbe election we hear no more of these good things but the bad, such as to make our taxes higher, to make more mush in tbe Statfe'rt pot, so they can dip deeper. Well, friend farmers, why not have some telephone lines put up. They cost a right smart, but would they not be a great saving to us. Say have one put up from Pelion to LeeBville. This would be a great advantage on account of calling a doctor or in tbe way of knowing tbe price of our farm products and in many ways, i Ought we net have some conveniences as well as our business men. Think over it, friends, along this line and let us bear from all of you, and if there is any better way tell Traveler. Delmar Locals. To tbe Eiitor of tbe Dispatch: Farm work is being retarded very i- i . . : j . .1 muco oy tee couiinueu wet wesuner. The indications are that the cotton acreage will be considerably reduced io this section this year and also there will be a coneepoding decrease in the use of commercial fertilizers. There has been much Bickness among our people during the past month, generally grippe. Mr. J. L B Oxner is going to build a carriage bouse now soon. Farm labor is very scarce with us. Hands can hardly be secured at all. Mr. W. H. Hare is kept pretfcy busy surveying this winter. His work covers a very wide territory and he cau scarcely keep pace witb bis calls. The new R F D. route from Del mar seems to be very slow about getting in operation. In consequence of the delay many of its patrons are seriously inconvenienced. The shingle machinery of Holley <fc Senn is still in our midft, and their wotk seems to be generally satisfactory. Mr. E *W.

Charles Thompson, white, who was killed near Wtddell, a email station on the Seaboard Air Line railroad, by being struck by its "Florida Limited" on last Thursday night, was a native of this county.

He has beeD reming it for 'some years and we are glad be has decided to settle down there permanently. Mr. J A E Sbealy is doing carpenter work at Bateeburg. Mr. Paul Sbealy has been seriously ill for several days. H. March 13, 1905. A Well Known Man Dead. - We are indeed sorry to learn of tbe sudden death of Mr. John 15. Kdidlin^er, the well known baker, which occurred in Columbia yesterday morniDg. Mr. Reidlinger had been in ill health for about a week suffering with indigestion, but none even dreamed that tbe death angel would so soon claim him for a victim. He was born in the Ktngdom of Wurttemberg, Germany, June 23, 1852, and came to this country about 1877 By trade he was a baker and by close application to. business, strict economy and unswerving integrity he succeeded in building up quite an extensive business. From our dealings with him we found him to be a man of tender, sympathetic heart and in a quite and unassuming way did a great deal of charity which greatly relieved the dire necessities of the poor an J needy. Mr. Riedlinger was twice married. Hi& first wife was Miss Grieshaber and tbe second Miss Heidt, who, with a niece, survive him as bis immediate family in this city. Besides them be has a Bister and brother living in Germany, and a brother who liveB in New Mexico. The funeral will be held at St. Peter's Catholic churGb, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. A good man, a useful and patriotic , citizen, a kind and affectionate busband and a successful business man, has fallen a victim to the assaults of the great enemy of mankind. We tender our warmest bympathieB to I the stricken family. t | i The S. S. Baptist Convention.

Birthday Week. It will p ay you K? corny I U part of the wagon left the bridge and the mules could not budge it one way or another. About tbia time the "Florida Limited 'was heard rumbling in the distance comiDg at the rate of about 65 miles an hour. Thompson, in hie efforts to save his whiskey and team of mules, ran up the traok waving his bat to stop tbe train. Io some manner unexplained, Thompson was struck and killed and the engine plunged into the obstruction, killing the pair of mules, demolishing the wapnn and scatter ? o? ing whiskey in every direction. The man who was with Thompson at the time gathered together the remnauts of the whiskey, hired a team and was making away when the constables scooped down and captured the whole outfit. The negro has been admitted to bail, but bis team has been confiscated and will be sold at public outcry. The remains of Charles Thompson were interred in the family burning ground at tbe "DcVore Homestead about four miles from Brookland. He was about 27 years old and is said to have spent most of bis youog life working around saw mills until recently he entered the services of Mr. Sellers, the reputed "Blind Tiger King," of Columbia, by whom be was sent upon his fatal errand.
