CIRCULATION 2,286, Wednesday, January 27,1909. Second Week With Auditor. We began our second week with Auditor Dent at Gaston on Monday, the 18th. Here the usual number of taxpayers met us and made returns of their worldly goods. At this point a great deal of business is transacted and the merchants, Messrs. C. S. Goodwin and C. H. Hartley, are doing a good business. Mr. G. A.

The school, which is in charge of Miss Lola M. Smith, of Williamsburgcounty, was closed on Monday by order of the board of trustees, on account of an epidemic of measles, which is said to be raging in that section. Miss Smith is a most excellent teacher and deserves all manner of praise for her able management of the school. After completing our work here, in the afternoon we drove to Swansea. At Swansea it always requires two days for the Auditor to complete his work and Mr. Dent was kept busy. The editor is never forgotten at SwanA/VI> A An A# AlIM aaII A/v4 DCa, UllO UUC Ui UU1 UC91 UUilCtU" ing points. The Dispatch has a wide circulation in this community. The farmers "around Swansea are independent and raise their own supplies. The town is growing rapidly, many new residences are going up. Dr. W. T. Brooker is the first to rebuild in the burned district. He is having erected a handsome brick drug store on the spot where the old wooden building stood. When completed this will be one of the handsomest and best appointed drug stores in this section of the State. Messrs. R. L. Lybrand & Co., are now doing business in a new frame building which was built soon after the fire. They will shortly commence the erection of a large department store of compressed brick. H. M. Sliarpe is doing business in the U. W. Jefcoat building. Other business houses will be built in the immediate future. The Witt . Bros., are full of business and receive a large trade. Riley and Haigler \ Brothers, successors to W. H. F. Rast, are replenishing their stock from day to day, and are fast becoming popular with the trade. The reliable firm v of Reynolds & Craft are still first in { fthe hearts of their countrymen, and their trade is extensive. While in Swansea, as is our custom, we were entertained in the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Mack. Here we met Mrs. Y. E. Axson and her beautiful and accomplished daughter, Miss Carrie, of North, who were visitors of Mrs. Mack. Mrs. Axson is a woman of many personal charms. Shp ia an pntprfainintr pnnvpreatinn. ali9t, being well read on all of the events of the nation. She 19 the mother of Mr. W. P.% Axson, one of the popular young merchants of the town. The graded school is under the careful management of Prof. Alexander, who has an able corps of assistants. Prof. Alexander is a hightoned Christian gentleman and is held in the highest esteem by all who know him. The school now has an enrollment of 140, and new pupils are coming in every day. From Swansea we drove across to Mr. Joseph W. Reeder's, where we met the usual number of the sturdy citizens bf that section. After partaking of a bountiful dinner, prepared by Mrs. Johnny Reeder, one of the best cooks in the county, we pulled reins for Mr. J. J. Mack's. Here the taxpayers were served with promptness and at 4 o'clock we drove back to Swansea, where we boarded the up-bound Seaboard train for Columbia. Fridav mornine we went down to Pelion over the Southern's flyer. ' At Pelion we met our friends and after spending the day pleasantly we j left for Steadmanls by way of Perry. Steadinan is holding her own. Quite a lot of lumber and turpentine is handled here. The school is very skillfully taught by Miss Victoria Cooper, of Sally, one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in the State. Mis3 Cooper is devoted to her chosen work and is uniyersally popular. The school term here will soon expire, but so completely has Miss Cooper won the hearts of all, that it is likely that a pay school will be continued. By invitation we dined with Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Quattlebaum and enjoyed a dinner fit for a King. On time we drove for Samaria, our last point of the second week. We IF IT Z M A Three At Great Reduci I found our old true and tried friend, W. Westmoreland, as jovial and picasant as in the days oi' yore, and enjoying a good trade. We boarded the Carolina Midland train for Batesburg where we caught the 8 o'clock train for home. Thi9 week we begin on Monday at | the metropolis of the county?Bateshnrcr?ai.ri will linish nn nn TYidflV afternoon ac Mr. G. F. Keisler's. G. M. H. Perry. . On our journey from Pelicn to Steadman it was our privilege to spend a few hours in the growing town of Perry. This was our first visit to this place, and to say that we were favor- i ably impressed is expressing it mildly. We met the merchants cf the town. They carry elegant stocks of merchandise. Messrs. B. A. Hutlo & Son do a lage business, and their , stock is superb and embraces practically everything iu merchandise. Starnes & Bodie is another enterprising firm. The school at Pc-rry is un- 1 der the ver3r able management of Prof. 0. W. Stuckey and the enrollment is large. The sick of the town and surrounding neighborhood are cured of their ills by that prince of big-hearted men, Dr. J. W. Milhouse, who oniovs a. vervwidp r?rar?tif.p. A number of excellent families reside in Perry. G. M. H. Fever Sores. Fever sores and old chronic sores should not be healed entirely, but should be kept in healthy condition. This can be done by applying Chamber- | Iain's Salve. This salve has no superior for this purpose. It is also most excellent for chapped hands, sore nipples, j burns and diseases of the skin.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell tow this great - change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Lexington readers; t W. P. Meetze, living in Brookland, g near Lexington, S. C., says: "I suffered severely at times from attacks of what was pronounced by the doctors as kidney colic. Severe pains would strike me in the small part of my back and at times I was unable to get about for days. My kidneys were very irregular in action and a scanty condition of the secretions existed. I finally heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, procured them at The Kaufmann Drug Co., and since I have been taking them, I am free from any attacks of my former trouble.
