"They say" that there is always
< Dicething doing around the governor's
office these days.

Now for a strong, altogether pull for
a greater Lexington. We want no
> croakers now.
Lexington is tf-e best county in the
State and her citizens should pull together,
loyally and true, to keep her
at the top of the column.
It
is already stated that the crop of
South Carolina Jane brides will be the
largest ever?the marriage license
law goes into effect on July 1.
The Dispatch lepras with much regret
of the serious illness of Mr. J. L. j
Mima, editor of the Edgefield Adver- j
tiser. and wishes for him a speedy
restoration.

Mr. George R. Koester, former editor
of the Columbia Record, has purchased
the Greenville Piedmont and
assumes control today. Mr. Koester
is a good newspaper man and that he
will make a success of The Piedmont
goes without saying.
Theelaying of Main street has about
been completed?and a fine piece of
work it is. Under the supervision of
Mr. B. K. Kyzer, who has proved himself
to be an expert in street building,
rthe ?tecn hill on the snnth end of
? ? ? ? Main
street has been cat down, dynamite
having been nsed with good effect.
All praise to our progressive
town council!
Is it because teachers fall into mechanical,
monotonous ruts of teaching
and perform their work in a manner
ao school-like and so little school-like
teat it never appears to the pupil that
what he learns from his books has any
connection with'or application to the
things that occur in everyday life?
Here we think is the trouble with some
teachers, and iu this reform is needed.
X?et each teacher make his or her work
more and more practical; let him strive
to lift pupils from their unthinking,
unpractical methods of study; let him
give them matter for thought upon the
simple, common things aroind them;
let him endeavor to create an interest
in their minds upon the subjects discussed
by the older people of the com
inanity, and soon we shall have a ra: e
of children who will know more at the
age of twelve of what is practical and
useful than car children know when
they leave the common schools,

"Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap." The bible contains
no tmer statement than the
above sentence, and all too often has
It been exemplified to the great sorrow
and shame of mankind. Onlv a
few weeks ago a white man was
. robbed of a considerable sum of money
in a negro house in the city of Columbia,
and on Saturday night last a
ycung white man ot this county was
shot and mortally woundpd m a negro
bouse of the sarue cnaraeter in the
sane city. Can anyone imagine any- !
thing nioro smocking, more heart- j
rending to the family of this young I
Bum, who once was as pure and as
spotless as the Babe of Bethlehem?
'Whatsoever a man 9oweth that shah
he also,reap." Doubtless fn:s same
yovng man was firs: ied astray by evil
associates; doubtless he formed the
habit I or strong drink, and gradually (
went Irom bad lo worse nrtil finally j
all regard for deceocv, respect for
family &nd lovedopes, were lost in a
life of d'ssipation and shame. The fait
of thi? young man?and thousands of
other yong men have m it a similar
fate?should leave its impress upon J
fehe mi..dsof all young men and cause
ibem to remember at all times that ]

Monday afoeraooii we met our appointment
at Irmp. We found everybody
in a good humor, some rejoicing
over annexation to Richland, while
others were equally as glad that they
fin wmiain in Tevinffton. There is
octn iv,"....... ?
some dissatisfaction over the dividing r
up of the school districts, and the difficulty
of the divi>i >n of lands, allowingeach
county its proportion for taxation.
The auditor took returns as
usual. The valuation of lands will, of
course, remain the same until real estate
is assessed again.
We spent the night with our friend,
H. A. Lorick, at his elegant home,
where we were highly entertained by
himself and family. At 12 o'clock we
left for BJlectine. Irmo has made
little improvements since our last
visit, but liie business of the place has
been good, considerable cotton having
been purchased here this season.
Arrivirg at Ballentine we met a
large crowd who were anxious to make
returns. Here, as at Irmo, there wa9

Some were pleased with the change
of going to Richland, while other*,
seemed more or less disgruntled, bat
the auditor did his work splendidly
and seemingly to the satisfaction of
all.
On due time we were off for White
Rock, where we spaut the night very
pleasantly with Mr. D. A. Richarason.
The auditor was kept bu9y until tne
hour of departure for Hilton. Here
the people turn ad out better than usual
and a good number remembered
the editor.
Thursday morning found us at Chf pin,
one of the largest places for ti e
audit ar in the connty, and he w* 8
kept busy all day Thursday and up to
oloainsr hnnr on FridtV. Chapin is a
live, growing town, and her merchan s
are doing a fine business Thirty-five
thou9and dollar9 worth of cotton wa9
marketed here iu a single day during
the season. Chapin is a great place
for eggs and chickens. The town con|
tinuqe to grow and is supported by a
good back country. We are always
glad to visit Chapin and regret to
ler:ve.
Friday at 1 o'clock we finished our
trinin the F >rk at Peak. This town
is holding its own and i9 destined to
grow larger.
On Tuesday afternoon we go to
Crout's Store on Hollow Creek. ToAUTOMATIC
