Last Week Out.
.'Tuesday morninz in company with
Comity Auditor W. D. Dent, we drove
to Oro ;t's Store, up on Hollow Ureek,
arriving about 1 o'clock. After enjoying
a good, substantial dinner, prepared
and served by Mrs. Crout, we
gladly met the tixpayers in social
chat, etc. At the closing hoar we
started out for the heme our old friend
and kinsman; Mr. Enoch Swvgert's,
where we are always made to feel at
home. Enoch is one of the best men
on Hollow Creek and his wife a most
estimable woman and splendid housekeeper.
The> live at home with plenty
of every thins; and make you feel
welcome. We are always glad to
make tbi9 trip, because we enjoy
spending the night with these good
people. Enoch is no "slouch" of a
farmer, and always succeeds in making
good crops. Last year he had an
exceptionally line piece of corn.
While not in the corn contest, yet his
yield was above the average. Fine
stock and fancy poultry are among
his. chief delights.
At Mr. E. H. Addy's store we met
the usual crowd and the auditor was
kept busy until the honr of our departure
for Mr. G. F. Keisler's. The people
seemed anxit u^ to render unto
flnAAMv fkn fViinrrc (1* Ah Trroro HflPQah's
VOC9(U U11V VUtUf^o >u Ik " v? v w?Vvv- ?,
and soon we were 011 the roa l again.
At Mr. Keisler's the people turned
ont better than usual and the returns
were rapidly taken by our very efficient
and accommodating auditor.
Here Mr. Keisler and his gcoi ' wife
are always kind to us and their
thoughtful ness will never be forgotten.
Saturday the trip with the auditor
wa3 completed at the growing little
city of Brookland on the Congaree.
Brookland is holding its own. The
%
merchants are doing a fair business,
most of the trade at Brookland com
c-w \
ing from the mill population, and ,
there has not been a shut d?>wn iu the
mills. The Brookland Bank, with
that most excellent gentleman Mr. L.
8. Trofcti at its head, is growing rap
- . - w T
idlj and well does it deserve the patronage
it is receiving. On account of
illness we were forced to leave before
the auditor closed his book9.
I
During the last few weeks we have
passed over nearly every section of
the county, and have had many courtesies
extended us by the good people
r wherever we have been, all of which
is appreciated beyond expression.
Our people, a9 a whole, are enjoyiDg a
season of unprecedented prosperity.
The county i9 in good shape?the best
it has been in for several years, despite
the fact that we have lost some
valuable territory to our'sister county
Richland. Lexington is just now
coming into her own, the statements
.. of the disgruntled and unrestful to the
r contrary notwithstanding. We have
f more miles of clayed roads than we
!\ have ever had. Nearly every section
a. "haa had fchp hpnpfit nf t-ip rhainorancr
* axs4 the roads of our county will compare
most fayorab'y with the roads of
any county in South Carolina, and
i this work of building roads has ju9t
begun, from the fact of oar people be_
ingopposed to t.x*tion for this purpo9e
until now they realize what good
roads mean. On "ev? ry hand new
enterprises have launched; r.ew and
* better equipped school buildings have
been erected; elegant homes have
been buiit in town and country; the
farmers have made eater progress
along all lines; hundreds of lolel
phones are in the homes of those re*
siding in the rural districts, thus placr
ing the towns and country in close
communication with t-aca other. In
I short, prosperity is smiling as never
I before upon all our people, and there
is just cause for congratulation. Let
there be less kicking and more concerted
action, and the county will
continue to blossom as the

All this talk about the chaining
costing so much money is absolutely
unfounded. Lexington is just now
doing what other counties have been
doing for years. Good roacls cost
good money, ani we can't have good
roads without paying for them. Nothing
adds so much to a county's prcspenty
as good roads. They attract
new-comers and the enhancement or
farm lards is the result. Give us
good roads, Mr. Supervisor, and generations
yet unborn will rise up and
call yoi blessei!
The house on \ esterday passed the
bill authorizing Lexington county to
pay one-third of the cost of the Corgiree
bridge. The bill already passed
the stnate. It is now up to Richland
to act.
There will be a sigh of relief when
the legislature adjourns.

Something To Eat.
This is the season of the year when
the ayerage housekeeper is at a Joss to
know what to cook. This trouble will
be alleviated if you will only go to B.
M. Wingard's lor your groceries, he
jarries everything that is fresh and
UD-to-date and that is satisfying to
your pockst-book. Go to Wingard's
for something good to eat. .
