Polite and Prompt Attention. October istf [ ? \ Our Trip Continued. There were but very few taxpayers | at Edmund and they were soon given receipts and we went on our way rejoicing for Pelion and found the latch string of our friend, Lucius Wyse, I on the outside. We pulled the string and walked in and found a hearty welcome awaiting us. He has- a pleasant home and has surrounded himself snd his family with many of the comforts of life. His good wife is a pearl without price and takes pride in making her home one of culture and refinement. As usual k we met a laree number of citizens. The people in this vicinity are inf dnstrioos and frugal and always meet their obligations with promptness and live up to tfce rule of owing no man anything, consequently they pay as they go and are under obligations to no man. Pelion will eventually become one of the most prosperous towns on the Perry Extension of the Southern Railway. Tfce merchants all carry large and well selected stocks of general merchandise and are: D. F. Shumpert, D. B. Sphraler, whose interests are carefullv looked after by Lucius Wyse and C. R Rish, and all of whom eDjoy a good trade. Mr. Best is still the polite and accommodating railroad and express agent and Mr. David Haltiwanger handles Uncle Sam's mail bags to the satisfaction of the public, j Dr. D_ R. Kneece cares for the blind, i the bait and sick for miles around and has been very successful in the treatment of all diseases and ills and pains that flesh is heir to. A young lady,whose name we couid not catch, is teaching the public school and is giving satisfaction to parents and pupils alike. Tuesday afternoon we arrived at the X Roads, which was our next stopping place. We stopped at Mr. Jacob Williams', and were tenderly taken care of. The Treasurer waited * upon people there who had come out to "render unto Oeasar the things that are Ceasar'e," while we received several dollars and added new names to the subscription list of the Dispatch. Night found us at the home of Mr. F. W. Qaattlebaum, at Steadman, into whose tender care we committed ourselves and were soon provided with the necessaries of life temptingly and invitingly served by that excellent housekeeper, Mrs. Qaattlebaum. Mrs. Qaattlebaum was one of the proudest men that ever stepped upon this terrestial ball and upon inquiry as to the reason for this we learned that the cause was that he was the proud granddaddy of a bouncing baby boy. Mr. Wilson Gunter has buiit a hoe two story dwelling and several cottages have been erected since we were there last. We were pleased to notice that the paint brush had been freely used and as a consequence the place had a clean and inviting appearance. Mr. Lonnie Quattlebaum is the express and railroad sgent and has won his way to the hearts of the patrons of these utilities by reason of his attention and thoughtfulness. The merchants are Hall & Thornton. B B. Hall, H. J. Burgess and W. Gunter, all of whom are doing fairly good. The principle commodities of the section are naval stores and lumber. But very few people met us at Samaria Wednesday and when we i attended to our business there we hunted other camping grounds and the Treasurer went to Batesburgr ! and this Editor put up at the well j known hotel of J. C. Kinard, at ! Tififtflvillfl- whflrp top sr>pnt; a uprv ! comfortable night. From there we went to Bafcesburg "MEET MB AT TAPP'S." _ HATS- | g| | DRESS GOODS.

THE and on arriving? there we were impressed with the great spirit of improvement that was noticeable on all sides. This was not only in evidence in the business portion of the place, but also in the residence portion. The people are vieing with each other to see who could better improve and beautify their home surroundings and make their domiciles more comfortable with the aid and addition of modern inventions. The Citizens' Bank is fine and well arranged and it is ntted up witn modern iurmture and supplied with the latest improved vault. Dr. W. H. Timmerman, is the President, Capt. U. X. Gunter, is the vice President, and Mr. A C. Jones, is the Cashier. This is a combination of business talent that insures conservatism in the management of the business of the bank and safety in the disposition of its funds. We called at Brother Rogers, who was very busy ic being his press day, but we made oureelves at home. Prof. J. R. T. Msjor, Superintendent of the Graded schools, which are in a flourishing and healthy condition under his aianegement. Col. John Bell Towill is the leading spirit in all enterprises. The merchants are full of business and carry tremendous stocks. This town is so eifcuated as to command the business of a portion of three counties. After completing work there we went to Leesville where we found everything lively. The Leesville College, under the Presidency of Mr. L B. Haynes, is in a flourishing condition and has an established reputation for thoroughness and ampleness. Mr. W. Aug. Shealy is the manager of the oil mill and Mr. H. J. Rawl is the Superintendent. Tbey are busy all the time.. Mr. C D. Rarr's coffin and furniture factory is turning out work that will compare favorably with th8 work of any other establishment. The Leesville Bank is becoming popular and is doing a fine business. Mr. Frank B. Hendrix is the President, and Mr. Henry A. Meetze the Cashier. The material is on the ground for the building of a large and commodious warehouse. Mr. J. W Cooner is the publisher and Mr. W. Aug. Shealy is the Editor of the Leesville Sun. This publication is doing a good work for the upbuilding of the interests of the town. The town is spreading out, new cottages sre going up on all sides, which is an evidence of prosperity. The next point was at Summit. Night found ue beneath the hospitable roof of Mrs. Shealy, the noble old mother of Treasurer Shealy. Summit has but little mercantile business. Mr. W. A. Hare is closing out his business, but the Hartley Brothers keep things moving lively with their mercantile business and Davai stores. This is a good point for some live and energetic man to locate. Mr. Hare was resting after getting cff that week's issue. Saturday afternoon we wound up week's work at Gilbert. The merchants are full of hope for the future of the town and are bending their energies in working up the business of the town. The merchants are, T. S Sease, W. H. Donly and Pierce Lespbart. Prof. S S Lindler has a flourishing Fcbool at this place. We arrived at home late Saturday evening and left Monday morning for Gaston. | SURES WHEHE ALL ELSE r A!*.3 pf tej Bist Cough Syrjf. 7ast-s Gr-oc. jy I? Us-3 in time.

Five or 8ix I buildings have gone up in smoke and the fire is still raging. This makes the third confl-igation that this town has suffered in the recent past. Peak ITaws. We have had very fine weather for gathering our crops and sowing small grain. Our cotton crop this year was extra good while the corn was below the average. Peas were fairly good. You can see broad smiles on the faces of the farmers when you bear them talking of 11 cents cotton. Mr. Eugene Stuck, who is operator at Lena, S. C, spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs Lizzie Stuck. Miss Adams, of Nawberry, speDt Saturday night and Sunday with her cousin, Mrs. A E Eargle. Mrs. Kate Eirgie, of Greenville, visited Mr. and Mrs. R W. M. Eleazer last week. She left here for Spring Hill where she will spend some time with relatives and friends. Dr. Eieazer, of SpriDg Hill, one of our most popular doctors of the Dutch Fork, is seen on our streets most every day. We have no physician located b^re now. There was a K of P. society organized here on the 22nd. Eighteen members were initiated and four transfered. The boys came home praising their order and seemed to like it all right. We had a very good sermon delivered here Sunday evening to a fairly large congregation by pastor in charge, Rev. Haigler. The installation of our pastor will take place in Mt. Vernon church (White Rock) the second Sunday morning in December. There will be a Christmas exercise with a tree at this place Christmas night. The chaingang is doiDg some very fine work on our roads leading out from this place. Mr. Meetze knows how to fix them all n k. Uncle Sol's Pa. Notes from Upper Saluda.

The battle against other evils has been raging and hotly contested, all of which is right, but Dot a voice has been raised against this cursed curse of curses. Why do we quietly sit in silence?
