On The Rounds.
Saturday, concluding to spend the
time until our appointment at Pelion
on Tuesday with the good people ot
the Edisto section, through the kindness
of our friend, Mr. Clarence Jefcoat,
the efficient and accommodating
rural carrier on route 3, from Swansea,
we took a seat in his automobile
over his route to his enviable home,
where we enjoyed a substantial dinner
with himself and family. Fronr
there we continued on the route to
the home of our friend, G. Johnso.
King, one of the successful farmers of
this section. He is a model farmer,
making about 60 bales of cotton, together
with plenty of corn, peas, potatoes,
etc. His place is an ideal one.
By special invitation we spent two
day 8 with this clever gentleman and
his noble wife?one that is a pride to
the home. While here we took the
opportunity of passing through many
of the fertile and valuable plantations ;
on the Edisto, among them "Urb"
Jefeoat's, L. S. Hooker, W. Q. Jackson
and a number of others. These
plantations now under the improved
system of farming yield a bale of cotrun
to the acre, and corn in propor
tion The people enjoy farm life,
owning, as they do, good horses and
mules, fine buggies, etc. They live
at home and are independent. What
can be better than this life with plenty
of everything?barns full, meat in
the smoke-house, cash to meet expenses
and ample bank deposits for the
''rainy day,"
On Sunday Mr. King extended courtesies
and kindnesses to us beyond expression,
accompanying us in his buggy
to visit some of our friends, among
them Mr. Thomas Craft, a life-long
friend and subscriber to The Dispatch
Mr. Craft is as honest as the days are
long and a most clever gentleman, T*:

Tuesday we m^t the auditor at Pelion
where we usually meet a large
crowd of taxpayers. These people
made ^ood returns and did i it forget j
the editor. Here enjoyed an ex- ^

dinner at the home of Mr. L.
^V. Wise. Mrs. Wise is a fine cook
and a good house-keeper.
7- Jit 4 o'clock we boarded the train
fbr:8teedman, where we spent the
night verv nlftflsantlv at th? rtnntPr
hotel. After dinner we drove to Samaria.
We are always glad to see
Mr. W. Westmoreland and fam ly.
Butyfew people turnedout here. We
went to Batesburg by train. Ti.is
town i9 known far and wide as one of
the best business places between Columbia
and Augusta. The merchants
and.people generally are courteous
and clever. Here the auditor ia always
kept busy. Trade was lively,
but little off, as usual, after the holidays.
The merchants are sanguine
over the prospects for a prosperous
year. Her enterprises are in a healthy
ow?wo ouu oic pftjr 1LI? lttl?C UIVIUeXJUB.
We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Jno.
Bell To will for kindnesses shown in
serving ns with a most excellent dinner.
We found Col. Towill busy in
The Enterprise office. He is isendin^ 1
ont a splendid county paper. We met
Mr. Bayly, but did not have time to
call at The Advocate office. His business
is good. j
At 5:20 we boarded the train for
Leesville, and, truthfully, we are always
glad to be with these people.
They are cleyer and always make ns
feel at home. Leesville is a good business
place and receives her share of
trade. It is one of the educational
centres and has one of the largest
schools in the State under the supt *
vision ot Prof. L. M. Bauknight, with
a corps of able assistants. While iu |
Leesville we were guests at Kward's
hotel, one of the best in the laud, and
here the editor always feels at home.
The drummers all delight to stop at
Kinard's hotel.
At Summit the attendance was
small and we were soon off for Gilbert
where a much larger crowd met us
and where the returns were good.
Gilbert is growing in business. Lots
of cotton, together with produce of
every kind, are marketed here. The
merchants carry large stocks and sell
goods at right prices.
I Our next point is Irmo on Monday
aftertfbon. We hope to meet large
crowds all through the Fork.

Vote Soon On Free Bridges
The question whether an election
>hall be held to issue bonds for the
purpose of ''freeing'> the bridges will
oe passed on at an early date. If the
necessary majority of freeholders fa
vor the election the bond issue matter
will be decided about the middle
of March. The petition is now with
County Attorneys Clarkson & Clarkson.
The movement to "free" the bridges
has been before the people for several
years. The election will be to deciae
on an issue of $75,000 in bonds to either
build new bridges or purchase the present
structures spanning the Congaree
and Broad rivers.
Tne act of 1908 under which the
election will be held is complete, prescribing
definitely what the procedure
shall be and providing for the appointment
of a commission which is to determine
the course should the majority
of the voters declare in favor of freeing
the bridges.

county recently voted to annex t<^
