To the Editor of the Dispatch: This letter leaves us well. Last Monday we had quite a scare. Mr. Julian, nay father-in-law, was working in the garden with us. Suppose he was a little bilious and over exerted himself. All at once he complained of feeling badly, and then said, "Oh, I'm dying!" Mrs. B. and I ran to him, helped him in the house, and almost as quick as it takes to tell it, I 'phoned for Dr. Peery?our missionarys brother? and in about two hours, Mr. Julian was at the dinner table. He felt a little weak, but otherwise, was cot specially inconvenienced. Mrs. B. has gained four pounds since comiDg up here. I think now that this climate will agree with us in all respects, except possibly for rheumatism. For a few letters I shall tell you something of which we eat up here. First and foremost, this is a great cabbage and Irish potato country. When I speak of potatoes I shall adopt the style of the community and refer to Irish potatoes. They have very few sweet potatoes up here and they are of an inferior quality, so I am told. I have seen one yet. But their Irish potatoes, or simply potatoes as they say, are specially good, better than those uat homo '* Thoao are oaf.on at. all moaln. in all styles, on all days, in all years. Dur children can not get enough of fried potatoes. One of our members, who is just a small farmer, planted 70 bushels of potatoes last week. Cabbage is almost currency around here. Rural Retreat, though containing only about 800 people, is 3aid to be the largest cabbage market in the South. At the proper 3eason 8 to 10 or even 20 car loads are shipped from here daily. They are saved and eaten all year?I never ate any so good. Some things I miss of which I shall write later. Rev. Julian and I are to make the addresses at the institution of Rev. J. A. Arndt next Sunday morning. At night I am to be installed. Key. J. B. Greiver, D. D., former pastor of this chnrch and President of Synod, will make the charges and conduct bhe services. Best wishes. S. C. B. Rural Retreat, Va., April 28, 1906. St. Matthew Dots. Io tue Editor of the Dispatch: The health of this community is excellent since the grip made its disappearance. The recent cold snap totally killed the fruit crop of this vicinity. The farmers are busy as a bee in a tar bucket. Some are still distributing commercial fertilizers. Some are Dlantiner corn and cotton, while JL C? ' others are plowing corn. Most cf the farmers here have decreased their cotton acreage, while others have increased theirs. Gen.

Mr. H. Steele has recently purchased a new kettle to his turpentine distillery. Mr. Jasper D. Price, of Lexington, was visiting relatives in this vicinity last week. Mr. D. A. Steele, formerly of this community but now of Aiken county, spent Eastertide with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Steele. Miss Novia McCartha, after an "? ? ... i ? .1 ar T extended visit to tier Drotner, Mr. oW. McCartha, of Batesburg, returned home much to the deiight of her friends, especially one. Times are dull and news is scarce so I will absolve for this time. Wishing the Dispatch and its many readers abundant Buccess, I am Tommie Humpback. April 29,1905. Leesville Items.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: We have been having plenty of rain during the last few weeks. Most of the farmers are ' through planting cotton, but very little corn has been planted so far. The small grain is promising. The recent cold has thinned the fruit considerably, but we still hope to have some cherries, a few peaches and plenty of blackberries. Quite a number of young folks came down from Chapin Good Friday and spent the day on the river. They report a very nice time. Mr. Preston Meetze and his mother spent Sunday with Mr. J. H. Derrick's family. Mrs. Adds Maltiwanger ana iiatie visited Mrs. Julius Dickert last Sunday. Mr. Bennie Amick and sister, < Blanche, were visitors at Mr. J. L.

Saturday we understand, examinations were held at Lexington under the supervision of postmaster Leaphart, for a carrier for route No. 2 There were several applicants for examination. Cotton planting is not as well advanced as usual in this Bection, owing to the lateness of Easter and its accompanying cold weather. The iieez.e suuie uui? agu waa very uestructive to fruit, and tender vegetation was much affected. Peaches were nearly all killed, and beans and Irish potatoes were blackened. The Sunday school at this plsce had a very interesting session at this place on the 4th Sunday morning. Addresses were made by Messrs. Poland Fulmer, J. E. Shealy and H. W. Fulmer, on the following subjects in order named: "A short historical sketch of the Jews." "Kindness." "A short geographical sketch of Palestine." All present enjoyed the services. Bethel pastorate is still without a pastor. The health of the community was never better. Again. Pelion Dots. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The farmers of this section are well up with the coming crop. Dr. D. R. Kneece and wife and Mr. L. W. "Wise and wife paid a flying visit to the city of Columbia today. We were glad to have Hon. W. H. Sharpe, of Edmund, with us yesterday. The Rev. L S. Shealy will hold a meeting at Columbia next week. We wish him much success. Mr. J. C. Fort is talking of erecting a cotton gin at Pelion for the convenience of the farmers of this section. This has been needed for some time. Wishing the Editor and readers success, I am One of the Boys. April 28, 1905. Notes from Ne wherry.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The forest looks as if the chilly winds of winter were still with us. The early wheat is injured some but that sown little later is not hurt by the freeze, as we can notice. The . fruit trees seem to be badly injured. Well, Brother Billy, you seem to have a remedy or scheme that will catch "bruder coon'ajj yellow our. But does that make it fair yet? and I don't know that your scheme will work. I know all the negroes in my district, but to tell who owns the dogs I could not. And then, to place such heavy burdens on my fellowman, is this right? I still contend that the present dog tax is unjust. Why should dogs be taxed above other property ? The Union meeting of the upper division has just closed its session at the Oak Grove church. The querries as published in the Dispatch were taken up and discussed in great earnestness. The Rev's. Hall, Gunter, Oorder and Kyzer were all with the union and used all power to build up the great cause of Christ. We had very heavy rain, wind and hail last Saturday. No damage except the washing of farm lands. Traveler. Mr. F. C. Aldridge Dead. Mr. Frank C. Aldridge, a prominent citizen of this county, residing near Batesburg, dropped dead suddenly last Saturday afternoon. He was at borne and when tbe summons came for bim to go hence, he was using the phone talking with some friend in Bate9burg. Heart failure was the cause of his death. At the time of his death he was the leader of the Republican party in this county and was quite influential in the councils of the State party. i Our King Quality shoes for men can't be beat.
