It was here Galileo first tried bis telescope snd it is the place where Columbus was born. The house where he was born and married in is still 6tacdiDg and l in a good state of preservation. It I is a four rooih house wedged in be^ ' tween two large bouses. The rooms are ten by twelve feet. Oae room is on top of the other and are entered by a winding stairway from the rear. It is taken care of by the Italian government and preserved as a relict. There is also a fine large monument k ? C-.-. W1 ^ nf fkn mforucnfinn CUb 111 uue lliai vie an vuo iui/oi c^wvium of two streets. Standing before this monument of the greatest discoverer the world ever produced, with its marble features looking out over the f bay, my mind reverts back 413 years ago when this lion hearted man was > plowing an unknown sea with a rebellious crew in a frail craft with meagre support and no promise of 1 reward. Who can doubt that the hand of God was not guiding the rudder to civilize the savage and found an asylum for the oppressed of every nation, where every man can worship God according to the dictates of his own heart and sit under his a own vine and fig tree. He was a God feariBg man for he erected a cross and gave thanks to God for bis prosperous voyage as soon as be landed. There are three great characters that have shaped the destiny of the . world: Columbus in tbe Soufcb.Mar| tin Lutber in tbe North and George X Washington in tbe West. Religious | and political liberty. Tbe thought I borders on the sublime and makes a second Spanishx Inquisition and an Edict of Nantes an intolerable thing for tbe watch dogs (the; United States, England and Ge?nanj)of tbe world are not chained. Genoa has the finest sea wall and harbor in the world and there is a great deal of shipping done here. Tbe finest velvets and silks in the world are manufactured here. The cemeteries are a marvel. The bodies are buried in vaults placed one on top of the other and the sculpture in marble on the vaults is simply prodigious. ' There is an old church here whose exterior looks rough, but the inside is quite different. There are huge columns of solid Carara marble inlaid with marble as black as the raven's wing. The paintings are taken from scenes in the Old Testament. I have no words to express ' * mo a nno riointor noinh'nor A U? JL. UCl *0 fTtID VU\J ' for fourteen years in this church. There are aleo a considerable number of people buried in niches in -side of the walls of the church. It / is said this church cost 40,000,000 francs or $8.000$00. You can form some idea when the wages here are about one-fourth of what they are in the United States what it would cost To build a similar one there. x The people here are fine looking. There are more blonds than brunettes and not at all like the Italians that imigrate As some one expressed ^ we get the scrapings of hell. I won't tell you what they say about us simply because I don't know. You wonder, I suppose, how we can understand anything they say. It is j done by eigne, especially where there j are so many nationalities and so j many different tongues. If you would tie oat's hands behind his back he will starve. Tbe streets in some places are not more than twenty feet wide and tbe j houses five and six stories high. Ob, j for a little more air, and a little more ! stirring of the air.

First, because it is a superb climate during the winter months, and the second to gamble. There is a place not f?r from here called Monte Carlo, which, in some respects, Alexander Dumas has not over drawn in hiR novels. There is the largest gambling house in the world here as well as the richest. There is another connected with it that might be mentioned. There has been more suicides committed there than any place in the whole world mostly from the loss of their money, but there are cases mentioned where there has been one or two after winning enormous sums.

Farmers are busy gathering in their crops and preparing to sow grain. Some of our farmers are still holding their cotton for higher prices. Our school opened at Charter Oak on the 30th of October with Miss Ida Reeder as teacher. We are very sorry to say that some of our neighbors are on the sick list. Some with colds and some with fever. Hope they will soon be out again. Several of our young men attended the State fair and report a gay time. Miss Carrie Mims, a popular young lady of Aiken, S. C, has been on a visit to her sister, Mrs. George R Kieckley. While here she attended the County fair and returned home Monday. Mr. J E.

Miss Jo LaDgford opened a private school here a week ago with about thirty pupils enrolled. Mr. Yarn, of Colleton county, came Friday for a few days visit to his daughter, Mrs. W. H. F. Rast. Mr. Will KbcdeD, of JtJlacfcviiie, stopped over Saturday with friendB here on his way home from the fair. The Methodist congregation are having their church buildiog paiDted, which when completed will add much to their already neat house of worship. Signs of activity and progressive life are everywhere in evidence in our little town and the sounds made by the hammer and saw are by no means unusual in our midst Several neat residences are Hearing completion and others are soon to follow. Work has been commenced on the public school building and in a few weeks it is expected to be ready for occupancv. A store house owned by Mr. R E.

As I pen these lines the clouds are lowering and threatening, the high winds moans a dismal carol around P eaves of the house, that cause a chill to creep up one's spinal column, reminding him of the approach of old winter. The present crop will soon all be a in and preparations commenced for ^ sowing small gtain. Let the farmers a put in a good Bupply of this. A goodly number of our people attended both the county and State fairs, the majority of whom speak in higke&t praise of the hue, numerous exhibts. The finest specimen of rice we have seen this season was grown by Mrs. M. H. Fallaw. Our friend M. Lee Reister, who lives on the R F D, had the misfortune to lose his two hundred aDd twenty-five dollar mule recently. We deeply sympathize with Lee in this l03S. The Athens Graded School is progressing finely under the present management, and from present indications bids fair to be the best ses- = sion in the history of the institution. ? The RFD service seems to grow j more popular as the days go by. Ere long our handsome and popular Treasurer will be around collecting tax in company with the genial Editor. So, boys, let us get our tax and dues for the Dispatch ready so that there may be no delay when they come. Mrs. C. R. Sturkie, who was quite sick recently, is much improved when beard from last. May she soon fully recover and be able to be about her domestic affiirB. The Boynton school house is being ceiled before school opens. This will be more comfortable for the children. R. W.
