To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farmers are about through planting corn and. watermelons and are nearly ready for cotton. I do hope the farmers will take the advice of President Harvie Jordon, and reduce the acreage of cotton. In the Item 8 from Black Creek my question was answered correctly. It is the book of Esther that has neither the Lord's ncr God's name in it. Question: What land did Moses die in, and who buried him, and in what place was he buried at, and who knoweth of his eepulchre, and how long did the children of Israel weep for Moses* I frequently receive letters from strangers from all parts of South Carolina seeking information as to this country. Is the land sand}?. Not much more clay land than sand. Is the land level? About as level as South Carolina. Is the soil rich? On a general average it is good land. Is the country healthy? Yes. Is the waters freestone? Yes. What can land be bought for, for cash? Price?from $5 to $66 per acre. What crops do they generally grow? Cotton, corn, rice, cane, peanuts, chufus, peas* watermelons, &c. Is society good? Yes. Is there stock law in Bullock county? No. I hope all the good folks asking questions will read this letter. With best wishes, I am, T. J. Cupsted. March 22,1906, Halcyondale, Ga. Look for the Dentist. Dr. R. S. Killingsworth, dentist, will be at Pelion, S.

Lexington County Teachers' Association held its regular meeting March 31, 1906, in the Institute building. A goodly number of teachers were present. The president, T. W. Dreber, presided over the meet IDg. Mise Sue Corley read a carefully prepared paper on, "The beefc method of teaching beginners."' She showed the importance of a teacher being a very true paragon; a3 the child absorbs much of that by which he is surrounded. Miss Roselyne Shuler read a pretty paper on Physiology and Hygene. She impressed ail with the two little words "pure" 8Dd "clean" in an internal and external application. Supt J. E R Kyzer emphasized some of the points made in Miss Shuler's paper. Miss Ellen Hesdrix read a very logical paper on two chapters of McMurry's Methods of Teaching. Mr. Major stressed inductive work, which was brought forth in this paper. The present adoption of text books was thoroughly discussed by mem- ! bers of the association, as to merits and demerits. The president appointed the following committee to arrange for the organizing of the South Carolina Woman's Association for the Improvement of Rural Schools for our countj: Misses Ellen Hendrix, Sue Corley, Roselyne Sbuler, Annie Winter and Mary Wingard. Oar Teachers' Association will hold its next regular meeting April 28, 1906, at 11 o'clock in the Institute building. The program is, that each of these ladies come prepared to say something on the improvement of j schools. Secretary. Gaston Gleanings. To the Editors of the Dispatch: We have been having a variety of .weather since my last letter, Kentacky nor any other State can't beat it. Oar young friend George T. Goodwin has received a lucrative position on the S. A. L- R R., and i8 now on the sixth division in the land of flowers. George is an industrious, clever, wholesouled little feilow and we feel safe in predicting success to him. A large audience greeted the preacher recently who conducted the memorial services of the late Mrs. Noel Sharpe. The recent cold snap left us about half a peach crop. Plums are not damaged very much. The small grain crop is looking very promising indeed. Fall oats are especially good. Mrs. M. J. Goodwin, the wife of J. C. Goodwin, died very suddenly on the morning of the 28ih ult.

McGill conducted | the funeral. j And you think, Mr. E litor, that | it is quite amusing to see some of the fcnys trying to get a man to "butt" Uncle Ben in the coming senatorial race, eh? Well, I. admire his pluck and courage; but if our popular governor, Heyward, had consented to make the race, he would have been left about as badly as fcbe rock-crusher got left here at Gaston. If you want to know how that was, ask W. S. Monteitb, who was sub-promotor of the scheme. If you want to see a smile that reaches almost from ear to ear jest call on DarliDg Mack, and all because its a. boy. There was a beautiful home wedding recently at the home cf John Eedmond. His daughter, Miss Nancy, was married to Mr. Charlie Howard, by W. B. Fallaw, in the presence of a large crowd cf relatives and friends Toe parlor had '4een tastefully decorated. After the marriage vows all partook of a well prepared supper. Previous to this marriage our friend Fred Smith eloped with Miss Beatrice Barrs to tne residence of Parson J. B. Sbarpe and were sent on their way rejoicing with two hearts beating as one. We are pleased to report the condition of Ed King much improved. Should the health of the happy Felix family continue as at present you may again hear from Billy Felix GastoD, S. C., April 2, 190G Salesday. Monday was quite a busy day in town. There were a number of citizens here from very near all sections of the county, on business of various callings, some trading, making merchants feel glad, while some were here on the Board of Equalization, Board County Commissioners, Board Registration and a number of old soldiers looking after pension*-; some to attend sales, while the general aggregation, as usually, want to see what is going on, altogether marlp a. frn'xH ?v/ - '?J v. . ~.
