Wednesday, January 31, 1906. j Our BouadsICompleted. We have had onr third and last ? ? 1 . week on the rounds wicn me auditor. < Cbapin, a thriving little village on the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens J railroad, was the first place we ] stopped on Monday morning, week j ago, and right glad w were to stop, for the roads are in a terrible fix 1 This point is one of tfo largest and j |v most important for the Auditor in , the Fork, and quite a large crowd was out to make returns. We were ' pleased to find the people of Cbapin < in healthy condition physically, fi- 1 % nancially and otherwise. It was our ; good fortune to dine with our friend Job S. Wessinger, where we were de~ ; lightfully entertained. At Chapin ^ Mr. Bobinson has a large lumber and bak* WmaIc niftnt in nnrv*fiAflfni oneratioD. Uliva p>?u? ? ? , There are^about six stores at this ( place and all seem to be prosperous. The school here, like at numerous other points, is ia an excellent condition, being conducted efficiently by Prof. John D Farr, as principal and Miss Blanch Kyzer as assistant. We left Ohapin about 5 o'clock on our journey to Peak, but were overtaken before arriving there by a heavy storm, but we were taken in, ? however, and given good treatment by a good Samaritan in the person of Mr. G. M. Stock. He was a Samaritan indeed. Hegfave us to eat ontil we were filled apd provided a bed x that made one sleepy to behold it. . After a pleasant night at the home of ^ Mr. Stack we left for Peak. There - p we found a goodly number of the I d substantial citizens of the community Q to return their property. Peak is in m. a thriving condition, as was evidenced by the genial smiles and hearty band j shake of her business men. Mr. Jno. - --- - ?... , . * D Busbardt is the efficient post master ^ at this place and bis brother Mc D, ^ is tbe obliging station agent. Peak 8 - has two R F. D. mail routes and , Mcmm. Oscar Chapman and Walter fc Eleazer are tbe post men, who are q , charged with tbe important doty of ^ carrying tbe mail. Tbe school here is presided over with grace, ease and dignity by Mies Lilla Martin, an ? accomplished yonng lady from the op 11 country. Mrs. Stuck's boarding ? house is a place we are always pleased to stop when in Peak. She provides for ber guests in a sumptuous man 8 ner. ' Spring Hill was tbe next point at which we stopped. The citizens ^ here turned out and made prompt ^ returns. This point is not on tbe wMlrnftd. vftfc it ia in the midst of an 0 independent and thriving community. | 0 Here we fonnd a better school than a is usually found in the country. The ^ teacher is Mr. IHenry Fulmer. We congratulate the community on their ' school. 13 Hilton was made in the afternoon ^ where W9 were pleased to meet Ben c and Johnnie Green Hiller. They are ^ -n a pleasant pair to be with and we enjoyed their company very much. ' The business of Mrs. R. B. Hiller, v 7 I conducted by them is in a flourish- 1 ing condition. We were delightfully 1 entertained by Mrs. Hiller while here, 1 as was also the Auditor. 1 Next morning we left in the cold, drizzling rain for White Rock, where * we found it holding it's own. This 6 is a good point and the two storeB there are getting their share of business. Toe school is taught by Mr. * Roland Fulmer, an efficient teacher. Numbers of the good citizens of this section turned out to meet the An/^itnr ^ Baileetice was made in the after- \ soon. It seems our ill luck to strike y C tbiapoint in bad weather, but Doth- ^ ing daunted the good people turning ^ out and assessing tbeir property. Mr. John Boukoigbt is the only merchant and is doiog a fine business. a The Auditor spent the night with Mr. Fletcher Memze, while we drove | for the home of our friend John W. Hook, where we were charmingly cared for at his home at Irmo. Jno. is a business m*n?ill the time at ^ if or Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby; that is why babies are fat. If }7our baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does aot need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are tiappy because they are :ornfortable. The fat surrounds their little nerves ind cushions them. When Lhey are scrawny those serves are hurt at ever}7 mgentle touch. They ielight in Scott's EmulT ' uon. It is as /sweet as wholesome to them.

It is always a ileasure to be witb him. Irmo is good business place and the busilessmen seem contented. Iq sleet, rain and enow, we left at bout 3 o'clock for our friend Elias !\ Metz's, wbicb was the last point aade by the Auditor in tbe Fork. Ve spent tbe night with Mr. Metze nd were made to feel at home, and iter completing tbe morning's work tere, on acconnt of high water, we Bfl for borne about 1 o'clock, by way f Broad river bridge and Colombia. Fhis instance and inconvenience to there, is another argument in favor f bridging tbe Saluda. This river 3 a dividing line between our people nd if we were to build a coudIg of - - ? ? t nidges it would bring them into loser communion with each other nd thus solidify our county. This 3 an" improvement the times demand nd we should not lag behind, but ;et in the forefront of the march of irogress. We can do it without bur leniDg ourselves, as independent as ur oounty is, then why not? It is nly a question of getting together nd doing it. We would have liked very much to isve went up on Hollow Greek this reek, but our office business would iot permit our doing so. In all of our rounds we found the I ounty generally in a prosperous conliticn. Not in years have we seen so uanv bales of cotton lvinff around in ?r - ? ? ~ ir o ~ armers yards. We hope the people rill Dot be over joyed and put in too arge a crop this year and ran the >rice dowD. All in all, the^ county e in a fine condition and we congratilate the people at large. To all who showed us-courtesy on be rounds we return hearty thanks ind best wishes. Gen. Joe Wheeler, one of the fast passing away Southern chieftians, lied last week in New York.
