PAST RECOLLECTIONS
The Sand Hills of Lexington Have
Helped to Make the County the
Banner Agricultural County of the
State. The People are Happy and
Prosper: u?.
I
On Monday of last week the Auditor
j commenced his annual round of Lex|
ingt^n county for the purpose of re1
ceiving the returns of all the worldly
good9 subject to taxation belonging to
ye,taxpayer, and when the whistle
blew we were "Johnny on the Spot"
ready to commence our 9emi-annual
pursuit of the illusive dollar.
The firsG appointment of the Auditor
for the year 1913, was in that 9tction
of the county known in song and story
as the "Sand Hills,,? and when ever
business or pleasure calls us there
the chords of memory are harmoniously
attuned to those of pleasure a9 we
recall the happy days in the years
that have gone which we spent
among the good people, who were the
poineers in the devolopment of that
seotion and contributed largely of
meir inauacry ana menus ?uu piu- j
gressive ideas in making Lexington
county what she today proudly is, the
banner agricultural county ot the
State of South Carolina.
Gaston was the point of our first appointment
and here it was our pood
fortune to find a comfortable retting
place beneath-the hospitable roof ofF.
Fallaw, who generously
provided for our bodily wants and'
bounteously supplied the inner men |
with the good things of this life. Gaston
is no boom twn and never was
one, but a steady healthy growth has
marked its upward and onwared progpress
and when the people once having
put their hands to the plow in
a movement tending toward the upbuilding
1 of the town'they haven't
time to look backwards until that
which they have set ont to do is acnnmnliaVia/1

Estello Goodwin and Mr. Sharpe are

fairly good trade. Mr. Joe Fallaw is
the obliging postmaster and handles

school here and he is doing a good
work for the educational interest of
the town and community.
Tuesday afternoon we wereat Swansea.
This is a live town, full of en$
ergy, vim and enterprise; the bump
of activity is largely developed and
what the business interests of the
town find to do the business men
go ahead and do. They allow nothing
to stand between the town and progress,
and as a consequence, they keep
things on a hum all the time. This
place has a splendid back country
from which to draw trade. The community
is composed of live, up-to-d_te
and well-to-do farmers and the lands
of the surrounding country are rich
and fertile and are very productive.
The Bank of Swansea is located here
and is strong financially, conservative
in policy and its business i9 in able
hands. At the winding of business
last year it paid a dividend of S per
i ....
i centum and iett a nice sum ror supius
I and undivided profits. This bank conj
tinues to grow in popular favor and
I enjoys the full confidence of the peo!

j ties are al! that could be desired of
a place of the size of Swansea and is
keeping up with the spirit of the times.
The attendance is large and increasing
and is under the efficient management
of Prof. Isaac Crickett who is
the rig it man in the right place. Smith
is the jolly ho9t of the hotel and he
gives his guests plenty to eat, comfortable
beds aud clean rooms and
commercial men and the traveling
public are always glad to stop there.
Thursday morning we met with the
good peop!e of Cross Road. The citizens
of this community met the Auditor
promptly and after he had listed
them for all they were worth they returned
home rejoicing that they had
conscientiously performed a public

tronage. Polite and Pre
duty. Johnnie C. Shephard entertained
us with a generous hospitality during
oar sojourn. Johnnie is a good
farmer, grows good crops and raises
his own supplies. He has cne son
who is,the pride of his father and the
joy ofc his mother.
That afternoon found us at the
nome 01 jacoo J. macs, wnom we
found as busy as a bee in a tar bucket.
He is one of Lexington county's substantial
farmers and is popular with
bis neighbors. We are always glad
to visit Jacob and he entertains so
well that it is with regret when the
time comes for us to leave his ho ue.
Friday we met the taxpayers of the
Pelion section. These people always
make fair returns and they never forget
the publisher of the Dispatch.
The people of this section believe in
making their own supplies, live at
home and board at the same place.
While t^ade is a little dull at this
season of the year the merchants are
eDjoying a fair patronage. The town
i9 growing; some ne^y cottages are
going np. While th*>rs it'was onr fortune
to fall into the hands of onr
friend, Lucius Wise, and we were delightfully
entertained with the best
the land affords.
We met the nsnal crowd of tar
payers at Steadman and Samaria.
Time and space forbids us to mention
these places further at this time. We
will; perhaps, refer to them again before
we finish our round of the county.
