To the Editor of the Dispatch: Conious showers continue to fall. and the farmers are still hustling. Cotton on red land is fairly good, but poor on sandy soil. Generally, the corn crops on uplands are good, where properly cultivated and fertilized. The season has been two wet for corn on bottom lands and in many cases the crop is lost. The 7cue at Poplar Spring passed off very nicely. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, though many had to go away hungry as there was not enough to feed the large crowd. Mr. Joe A. Koon, who is a candidate for the office of County Treasurer, said that he believed in putting new blood into the office at least every six years.

On account of unfavorable weather the missionary meeting at Mt. Hebron was not very largely attended. The exercises in the morning consisted of songs and recitations, by the societies and an address-by Mrs. D. B. Groseelose, of Leesville, to the Children's society. After partaking of a sumptuous dinner the congregation returned to the church to listen to a very interesting.and well prepared speech by Rev. W. H. Greever, of Columbia, on missions. Our annual barbecue was held last Thursday. The crowd was estimated at from 800 to 1,000. A number of. speeches were made by the candidates of Lexington and Saluda counties, and everybody seemed to have had a nice time. Mr. and Mrs. D. T.

County Commissioners 2?ust Be Elected. It will be seen by notice of County Chairman Efird elsewhere that the county commissioners must be elected in the general election, also in the primary. This fact was over looked by the county convention, and consequently by the executive committee, caused no doubt, by the change of the recent act which provides for a county supervisor at a salary of $750 and two county commissioners at $3 per day for actual service not to exceed twenty-five days in the year. Thus giving the commissioners $75 per annum each, provided the time is occupied in performance of the duties of the office. The office is very important, as these commissioners are required to meet with the county supervisor at all business meetings and assist in the adjusting of claims and payment of all bills against the county?virtual ly having equal responsibility of the county's finances. The salary is small but ample for the work to be performed by said officers. Compliments Well Deserved. Messrs. R. F. Coble, general superintendent, and T. P. Moose, boss spinner, of the Odell Manufacturing company, Bessimer City, N. C., embracing six mills, on a general tour of inspection of the various cotton mills, stopped over here Thursday evening ' and Friday morning and inspected the Lexington mill. Their object, while off on a little i*est, is to take a view of the mills and to learn of any new ideas in the manufacture of goods, the working of machinery, etc. They are very clever gentlemen, and we were glad to have met them. They were pleased with our little mill and spoke in highest terms of its management, saying it was the most up-to-date mill they had seen. This should be ?
