Onr friend, Joe F. Failaw, met us at the depot and invited tia to his pleasant and comfortable home, where we were royally entertained. The kindness of himself and family will oertainly be remembered by us. On Tuesday the industrious and good humored citizens of this section met the auditor promptly and made 1 their tax returns. We found everything at Gaston about as usual. O. 8. Goodwin, J. F. Failaw and H. A. Goodwin are the merchants here and seem to enjoy a uoerai snare 01 uie trade. Mr. J. F. Fallaw is the jovial and accommodating postmaster. Miss Mincy Pounds is teaching a very large ohool and doing satisfactory work. Tuesday night we were nicely situated at Smith's hotel at Swansea, where we alwaye delight to stop. The fare is good and the hotel is growing more and more popnlar every day with the traveling public, especially with the commercial men. Early Wednesday morning we droye to the Cross Roads, where we met but few people. After enjoying an excellent dinner set before ns by Mrs. J. C. Shepherd, we droye to Mr. Jacob Mack's. We found about the same crowd here as usual. After completing our work, at about 4 o'clock, we returned to'Swansea to spend the rugae. Here the auditor is always kept busy, as it is one of the business centers of the county. The people however, are patient and good humored. Thursday all day and until 12 o'clock Friday the auditor was busy. Aiter dinner we went to Calvary School House. This is a new place, made for the convenience of the people of Sandy Run section next to the Calhoun line. The citizens turned out well, showing their appreciation of our coming.

This completed the trip of the first week. Swansea is a live, progressive towD, growing in enterprises and improvements; The town is supported by a rich farming country, and the business men art olever to a fault. Fnll ef energy and business, they always delight to serve the trade with higholass goods at right prioee. At present there are a member ef new brick MllOlBgS IB COB-TIB ?T OfOCllon.

Next week we go in the Fork, where our coliee^ns <ire generally good, w 'rust ur iriends will not let as fall short this trip. We need the money to meet our obligations. We are sorry to lose the territory annexed to Richland, but the people over there will want The Dispatch anyway to 9ee how their old native county is getting along, and-, therefore, we hope not to lose many of our subscribers. G. M. Harman. Bascomb Rast Dead. Mr. Bascomb Rast, one of the best know* men of Swansea, died at his home in that town on Tuesday mor ing of last week, and was buried the following day in the old family burying ground.

There was much speculation to day as to what Mr. Blease would say in his inaugural address. The address w*as received with interest. He outlined his policy for his administration. He was not a well man when inaugurated. He came to Columbia from bis nome in Newberry last night a sick man. He will be located at a local hotel for a few days until he can remove to the governor's mansion. He has said that he will do i much entertaining during his administration. It might bo said that the legislature has done practically nothing since organization oue week ago to-day. There nave been many bills introduced and they are sensible ones too. This legislature has a fine opportunity to distinguish itself as there never were ni.iru m^iiinrQa nf Qt'ita.nriHfl ? VA WAUW AUUWAWHW introduced.
