The cue afcPelion was the first one i that we attended this season. We made our best endeavors to arrange our business so as to attend others but try as bard as we would it was Impossible to get off; but this one we determined to attend no matter at what cost or loss of time, because in that portion of Lexington county resides some of our warmest and best friends and we were anxious to grasp their hands cnce more and mingle with them in their holiday time and share with them the pleasures of the ; occasion. So on Saturday last, in company with Col. George Bell Timmerman, Solicitor of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, Col. Tyron C. Sturkie, a rising | young attorney of the Lexington Bar, we seated ourselves in a carriage j drawn by two sleek, fat mules prepared to endure the long, hot and I ~ " - - * 1L _ tedious drive, so as to ecpy me pleasures that awaited us a* our journey's end. On arriving there i we found about 500 men, women and children gathered, wearing their holiday attire and their Sundaj-go-to j meeting smiles. There was no topic of general interest except the new county project, but that only to those citizens of near by towns, which have the ambition to become a county seat at the inconvenience and expense of the people of Lexington. We are glad to say that we found but few Lexingtonians willing to be seduced by the siren's song of rivers flowing with milk and sand bills bursting with corn dodgers if they would only forsake their dear old mother [Lexington] and worship at the shine of this strange and unnamed god. We got into quite a warm discusion with some gentlemen from the other Bide of the Edisto, but as we used only positive facts, which could not be successfully controverted, our people were with us, some of them saying they had whipped the new county f scheme twice and would do so again if if ever came to a vote, and in this they seemed to be determined. We are confident that our people have no desire whatever to dismember the body nf their nld mother to build UD the fortunes of people of other counties or to appease their ambition to become office holders. Apparently their only desire is to be left undisturbed and not be everlastingly stirred by this new county agitation. The proposed Heyward county scheme is tied up in the records of the court, and if the question is decided favorable to the projectors if will take every available foot of Aiken's territory above the constitutional requirement that can be spared. **After the Dispensary, What?" wonders the Orangeburg Times and Democrat.

We folly agree with one of oar correspondents when he said the name of the new county was "Dennis." Weather and Crops. The following is a synopsis of the crop report as compiled by Section Director Bauer, the week ending 8 a. m. of the 10th: The average precipitation was f A L_ _1 somewbat m excess 01 toe uuruum, with, however, many places in the east, central and northern counties that had little or no rain and where the drought was intensified and is now very detrimental to all growing crops over the greater portion of the state the rainfall was wholly beneficial, though scarcely sufficient for the needs of crops.

The plants have grown too fast in the western counties, and are generally undersized elsewhere, tbongh healthy. Bast has appeared in Anderson county, and "black root" in Olarendon. Sharp-shooters have done considerable damage iu AnderI eon and Pickens counties. In sections where the rainfall has been deficient, and the plants are in consequence small, they are blooming to the tope. In most places the plants are fruiting normally. The rains came to benefit old corn, which is poor in every part of the state, while yonng corn has become very promising, except on bottom lands, in a few counties, where what is left after the floods has become very grassy.

To the Eiifcor of the Dispatch: Some cf the farmers are about through laying by their crops while others are not. Some few have fine crops while others are very poor. It has been very unfavorable for the farmer this season. Early in the spring the land was too wet and now for the last seven or eight weeks it has been too dry, and it continues to to be so. The cue at this place, on the 4tb, furnished by Mitchell & Burgess, was a success, there being about seven or eight hundred people present. and not a drunken man nor even the slightest malace was heard from any one. There was plenty to feed the crowd and some left, which wab cooked to perfection by Bev. D. E Strickland, the cueist of Gilbert. The Sunday school at this place is progressing nicely under the management of Mr. Perry Hall as superintendent. The school has about one hundred Dames enrolled. The church has purchased a nice organ which is a great help to the singing. Mr. W. Gunter will soon have his nice dwelling bouse completed, which will be an ornament to any town when finished. Mr. I S. Hall is 8iao giving bis bouse a beautiful coat of paint which will add to its appearance. Mrs. Mary Fink of near Lee3ville, spent a portion of last week with Mr. W. L. Qjattlebium's family and other relatives at this place. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Harman of Lexington and also Mrs. Willie Hook of Irene, have been visiting their parents the past week near this place.
