Clay Spring Union. To the Editor of The Dispatch. The Clay Spring Union will meet at ( Pelion on Saturday, September 2, at 3 o'clock. Brethren, let us have a full i meeting and a good old revival of the i farmers at this meetiDg. We want all of the farmers of Pelion and vicinity j to come and help in this great movement. Friends, it is time?high time \ ?that we were wakiBg up to a sense of our duty. There never was a time when co-operation was needed more than now. Friends, yon know that where there is unify there is strength, v We must combine if we ever expect to accomplish anything. Please observe how earnestly oar state president, 13. W. Dabbs, is pleading with yon to help in this great work. Without oar co-operation he will not be able to do anything. So let's pnt oar efforts together and make one ^ strong poll, that we may be able to accomplish oar aim. Brethren, let's come out from under the yoke and stop this thing of being hewers of wood and drawers of water. We have suffered long enough. Did yon ever stop to think for a moment that we have nothing to <Jo with fixing the price of our cotton? Why, the gamblers of Wall street are kind enough to do it for us, although they would not know, a stalk of cotton were v they to see one. Now, let us wake up and see to it that we shall price our * own staff and manage our own business. h* W-Gardoer, Pres., CJay Spring Farmers' Union No. 828. \ ' v ? ?... Good Pictures;. Fine Singing.

To the Editor cf The Dispatch: After much waiting, much fussing and many promises, we are rejoiced to tell you that the county cliaingang is with U9. We are surprised and delighted with the work they are doing. Surprised because of the superior auality of work thtt they are doing to the little we have had done in the past; delighted because of the nice roads they are giving us by our homes, to our churches, and to our places of business. Already the cbaingang has built about five miles of road that will stand as a monument to Supervisor Langford and Mr. Mack, captain of the chhingang. Captain Mack certainly understands how to build roads " * ? u~,t? . as wen as now i<o wur* olio uuja m stripes. Supervisor Langford has been fortunate in securing the services of this valuable man. His loss would be a calamity to the chaingang work in Lexington county. _ Soon the Chapin line of incorporation will be reached, and a nice bridge will span the creek between Spring Hill and Chapin. This bridge has been long needed, and it as well as the good road, will be a blessing to the traveling public. But, dear editor, even after this is done, to complete this very important road from Chapin to Columbia, there is still a section of ten or twelve miles of road unworked, and four or five miles of this section, if possible, is rougher than any road in Lexington county. Then when we consider the fact that soon the tax-payers of Lexington and Richland counties will be called upon to face a debt of many thousand dollars to free a bridge to which this miserable road leads. Then too, this being the main road leading from the up-country to the oapitol of the State, and that the neglect of this important road has had more to do with the annexation question than any other cause. We are left to wonder why it is that the county authorities do not see that this road is put in good condition now while tne county cnamgang is here. We fee], if thi9 was done, it would pub an everlasting quietus on the annexation question. Reports say that there are several thousand dollars due the three townships of the Hatch Fork; money over paid on 0., N. & L. Railroad, which, we think, should be used on the roads. With this amount, and what private j subscriptions that conld be had, it I would not be necessary that there j should be any great burden placed on | the county to build this road. Then, dear editor, let us have your influence in this matter. ^ J. W. Eargle.
