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. Good^

he is, is still the popular depot agent,
filling ?he position with general satisfaction.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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. For

COMFORTING WORDS. I
Many a Lexington Household [
Will Find Them So.
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. I feel better 2
i^every way and heartily endorse, =
9#tn's Kidney Pills to other suffer.m"
