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.

Two Cashier's Experience .
Devoe. |10 a year; lead-and-oil, $22.
Mr MeMallin, late cashier of Patapsco
National Bank, of Ellicott City,
Md, paintedhis house?-Devoe?in 1885.
It wore 17 years at a cost of lesB than,
$10 a year:
Mr Harold Hardioge, the present
cashier painted his houses-three coats
lead*aod-oil?it wore six years,' at a
v cost of $22 a year. He then repainted
Devoe; said he wanted the paint that,,
cost least by the year. This
is important; such comparisons ,
are ettremely rare. We know the
general fact, however.
The paint that goes farthest, wears ]
longest; always.

Praises Chaingang Work.
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.
