To the Editor of the Dispatch: Some time has elapsed since your humble scribe communicated by notes with you, and I truly hope that my silence may not be ascribed to a cessation of appreciation for your journal or a lack of friendship for you whom I have known so long. In the last number of your journal you have a summary of the incidents in and around Hilton by "Bonnie Blue," therefore, it is useless for me to say anything about the crops or CENT STORE. cat 11 En ID VISED TO COME IN A TVS rames JL the bard struggle the farmers have bad with tbe grass, but like tbe Japs at Port Arthur, they have conquered. Cotton is looking pretty well considering tbe present drouth, but I fear tbe bog and hominy crop will be short in this section. A good deal of corn is to plant yet and it is getting late in the season for corn planting. Bo you know that there are no people who love their country better than we love our little State South Carolina? When duty or inclination leads any of her citizens away how their minds wander back and their desires are to get back to the old hqme again. It does not matter how well we are treated, how much you have to eat, how cheap to buy, how charitable your new friends are, still we would rather be back in our old State and cur dear old county. We are like the man who ate the crow: "Boys I can eat crow, but I don'c hanker after it." I speak from experience as I had the Western fever once, and when I arrived atjmy new home, oh, what letters I wrote you and I wanted company. "Misery likes company." Well, after awhile, I got back, and I tell you when I got ? t . * , i v DacK i got oacK to stay ana i am here yet. The Bible eays Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt because she desired the flesh pots of Egypt; well, if times were now like they were then, there would be more pillars of salt around the borders of South Carolina than a common man could enumerate in forty years. Our friend, Pat Bickley, is all right on the fox hunt. He has not caught one yet, still he says, he is determined to continue to pursue them and if he can't catch a fox he will have the fun of trying. The mercantile business of Mrs. N. E. Hiller at this place is progressing finely. The Lutheran church at White Rock has been closed since Rev. Mr. Ballentine left, but if reports be true, it will not continue closed much longer, as it is reported that there is a prospect of Rev. Mr. Haigler being called to preach there.. Rev. Ballentine said, it is reported, "that he never wanted the doors of his church at White Rock closed." Well, the gentleman did not realize bis words; it has been closed, but the friends of the church hope to open the church doors again soon and by God's help they hope never to have the same thing happen again. Hoping a continued success for the Dispatch, I am with all respects, June 19, 1905. H. In Statu Quo.
