To the Editor of the Dispatch: A few farmers are through planting cotton and others have considerable yet to plant. It has been so showery the past week that poor [ progress has been made. Some who planted very early are chopping cot| ton now, and as soon as the weather utiles all will get down to business, x cannot see that the crop has been cot materially in this community. Fertilizer sales have been heavy, and i those who have cot acreage have done so more from a lack of labor than for any other reason and tbey are fertilizing better and hoping to mase as mucn, or even more, on jbkb i 7 acreage. The heavy frost some time back did considerable damage, but moat of us still have plenty of fruit. The small grain crop is fine and gardens are doing excellently well. Dr. Julius Dreher, who was in the Ogden special wreck at Greenville, came home a few days. He is much better, but still bears the marks of injury. Dr. B E. Matbias, who graduated at Charleston Medical College recently, has located here at his home. So for, he seems to have a reasonable good practice. Mr. Godfrey Bouknight has push| ed back bis old shop houses on a | line with the sidewalk and has built I him a larger and better house near by. He gets a good patronage. Mr. J. P. Shealy, of our town, is entitled to wear the belt for having the finest beaded cabbage in this community. Interest in saw milling does not abate. Mr. J. B. Witherspoon is still cutting on the Lorick tract for C. P. Robinson and the Leaphart Lumber Co.. is buildins a railroad from Leaphart to the Wagener tract of timber and will Boon be cutting and shipping all kinds of rough and dressed piDe lumber. Mr. H. E. McEntire is doing a fine business cutting and shipping shingles. The Southern Bell Telephone Co., have a large force at work putting up four more wires, two from Columbia to Little Mountain and two from Columbia to Spartanburg. This will give quick and better service. We hear of seYeral cases of smallpox in different localities around us, but there are no cases near Irmo. May 8,1905. H. Tezas Letter.

We, the undersigned members of the Board of Health, and citizens of Lexingtoo, S. C., realizing that many wild and exaggerated reports are in circulation respecting the smallpox situation in this town, beg to submit the following as a true statement of the actual facts. Since the death of Dr. Hendrix, no new cases have developed, except in his own house, where the attack is of the very mildest type, Mrs. Hendrix, now being able to be up and about iier household work, Nevins having only a mild attack and other members of the family being successfully vaccinated. His house has been thoroughly fumigated, and is strictly quarantined and guarded, and there can be scarcely any danger from this source. Except for an abundance of precaution, all others who have been attacked by the disease, could now, with no daDger whatever to anyone, be about their business. The situafirm Ja nn^er nnntrnl. and with thfi disappearance of the disease from the home of the late Dr. Hendrix, there will not be a case in the town. We feel there is no danger, now, either to citizens of the town or to outsiders who may ish to come here on business or for 'any other cause. Respectfully signed, ..

Pond Branch, April 28-30, 1905 To the Editor of the Dispatch: If it is not imposing too much upon your hospitality, I will give a brief account of the Missionary conference, held at Pond Branch M. E. church, South, April 28 30, 1905. This conference was planned by our pastor, Kev. J. E. Strickland, and to his untiring efforts it's success is largely due. Though digressing somewhat, will say, this is his second year on the Lewiedale circuit and he is grow-' ing more and more in favor with his people. The conference wa9 called to order TTmn.minn Ktr fVto riocfni* tttin X' ilUOJ 1XJVJ1 JUIU^ VJ WUV ^/UUUVA. IT UV preached an able and impressive sermon. The discussions throughout the entire day on the different questions relative to the advancement of the missionary cause were full of interest and well worth the close attention of an appreciative audience. To give the names of the different speakers would take too much space, nevertheless, all did well and deserve 'cial mention. Saturday's program was well carried out. Many and important were the discussions relating to awakening a missionary spirit. At 11:30 a. m. Revr M. M. Brabham of the Leesville circuit, preached on "The Relations of the Home Church to the Foreign Field." He showed the pitiable condition of those persons professing Christianity and yet opposing missions. He spoke very feeling of the calling of Miss JaDe Nicholson of Edgefield to the service of a foreign missionary, and showed what a halo of sadness it cast around a happy home for one, thus to part, and yet how important the call. He spoke encouragingly of the Woman's Missionary societies and urged them to continue in their important work. At 2 p. m. Rev. E. T. Hodges of Batesbnrg, preached from Ezekiel 47:9. Living Christianity being his theme. His discourse was plain and practical. He showed wherein a true Christian is wide-awake to missions, both foreign and domestic. Prof. S. S. Lindler, principal of the Lewiedale academy, at Gilbert, and one of the leading educators of this ftonntv. delivered a timelv and ? ~ J 7 90 an interesting address. His subject being: "Come and See." Sunday morning Rev. J. E. Strickland spoke on, "The Situation in the Ear East and Missionary possibilities.' He told bow heathen superstitions were giving way to western civilization, and the reason why the Japanese are so skilled in their mode of warfare, and that a Japanese victory, which he hoped and believed was not far distant, would open now markets for our products, cotton especially, and that in a short time Japan would be a Christian empire. At 11:30 a. m. Rev. Saml. Danner , of Leesville college, preached. His Lan Any Heretofor >ALES. THESE SALES ARE ARRANGED 7EB.

He spoke of the large membership of the churches and how few earnest Christians. Rev. Danner during his vacation, is engaged in evangelistic meetings and doubtless many of your readers have heard him.
