>r? i .i . i i .i -
On account of the unexpected and
severe illness of Mr. D. R. Haltiwanger,
assistant editor of the Dispatch,
during the past week, and the
partial absence of the editor, we are
forced to leave out many important
matters of news this week. Mr. Halfiwanger
is improving slowly.
The Editor returned on Monday
TO. >rning from a week's visit to Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Ifsw York. This trip wa9 one that
'we had long hoj ed to make, and having
arranged our business satisfactorily
before leaving home, the trip
was one continued round of pleasure.
It is impossible to attempt to describe
the many incidents of tbe trip, as it
would consume too much space. In
Baltimore and New York we met a
number of friends, who extended
,?r: ,
many courtesies, all of which were
Tally apprecjateu, ai;u ueipt.u lu auu
all the more ro our pleasures and enjoyments.
The whole trip was grand,
each place adding new pleasures to
the week. We went out over the
Southern and returned by the Seaboard
road. We arc now back at our
post, working with, renewed vigor,
hoping that good fortune will again at
jnodistmt day, allow us to make a
similar trip.
Annexation Meeting.
The annexation meeting which wa-:
bailed to meet at Brookland on last
-Saturday was only attended by a few
* people. It was agreed by those present
to get out petitions n order to
have an election hi Id.
The meeting at Irruo on Mondaj*
was not very largely attended, it be->
;ng estimated that only about 30, were
attendance. Mr. N. W. Brooker, of
'Columbia, the "high muck-a-muck"
^of the scheme, was present and was
officious as he was at the New
Brookland meeting. If Mr. Brooker
^acceeds in this undertaking it will be
the first time that he has ever succeeded
in any movement of a political
character.
Next week we will have someting to
say on the subject, and in the main
time our people should be slow to take
action in this matter

some instances reduced the valuation,
bat in most cases the various boards
were sustained, it being shown by the

reduced 10 per cent, and in Forx 5 per
-cent, while in Saluca the valuation of
lands was increased 5 i e.* cent.
