Wednesday, July 12,18G5.
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. Why. neighbor. Blind
Tigers, or Drug Store Bar Booms.
From either and both evils, the good
Lord deliver us.
The farmers who werejwise enough
to bold their cotton are certainly in
the swim.
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.
There was a general improvement

in the condition of cotton, confined
largely to clayey soils, while on eandy
lands there was improvement in Bpots
only. 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.

throwing Mr. Kneece out head foremost
on the rock, killing him almost
instantly. Mr. Blense was also
thrown from the vehicle, but escaped
with slight injury. Mr. Kneece came

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.

It is a Fact!
That a successful business
can only be attained through
honest dealing, prompt service
and indefatigable attention to
detail.
That no permanent success was ever
attained tlirongh trickery and subterfuge.
Tliat quality wins first, last and always,
and tliat manufacturers produce
different classes of Pianos.
Tliat there are some Pianos much better
than others.
That it is our policy never to misrepresent
anytliing. nor allow our salesmen
to do so.
That we know that this is a good policy,
because tlirongh strict attention to
these methods, our business continues
to grow rapidly.
Tliat it means a good deal to yon to
know in advance that the reputation of
onr line of pianos have been established
from 65 to 82 years.
Tliat there is one in Columbia used at
least 40 years, and the tone quality shows
no evidence of going out of business.
Tliat the pianos that yon will secure
from Malone's Music House will be the
best that we, with years of experience
ir? ftKnnoinff fl-ua. V^cfr r?an VlT! V.
