It was through this section that the brave and courageous , Emily Geiger made her famous ride , I fcr> warn the Americana Datriots of the approach of the British, and it was in the trackless forrest of this section that the fires of patriotism were kept barn- j ins: around the firesides of its people. We are always glad for an opportunity to yisit these people and see them busy in their daily avocations; to see their comfortable homes; their well tilled fertile and productive farms; see their fine stock and well filled barns and smokehouses; see their pretty ( churches and handsome school houses, and to partake of their generous hos- | pitally. It is a joy and pleasure that ^ those who have not been there knows not of. Our first getting off place was the < thriving and progressive little town of 1 Irmo where we found everything as i * 1 lively as crickets. The town is growing J some and its people seem to be happy and contented eaoh striving hard to ? better their condition in life's journey ^ from the cradle to the grave. This y place being within the constitutional c limit it had to be left out of the recent * J ' r : Dylans exeoruus uuu jjeAiugwu w iu^uwuui ^ The majority of the people are glad z because of this fact while there are a few who are laboring under the impression that it would have been to their personal benefit to have gone. The day will yet come when the thumb screws of taxation will be turned so hard as to almost squeeze the life out ol them when they will realize that the beet thing for them fl was when they decided to remain the c children of Lexington?their grand old t mother. The leading merchants aire ] Lorick Company and L. 8. Mathais, ( both of whom are doing a large busi- y flefcs, while J. H. Hook, H. E. Mclntire \ . and W. E. Loriok have their hands x full waiting on custom?rj. The peo- t pie are industrious, and progressive, good livers and good farmers. As we have stated in a former article, the Herberson College for negroes is locat- , ed here and it is doing a good work along its line. The school in' town is , in a flourishing condition under the efficient care of Prof. Sturkey and Miss Bookman, both of whom are accomplished teachers and are makiDg a reputation for the thoroughness of their system of teaching. Mr. A. Mathias is the popular postmaster, and Mr. J. W. Hook is still the hard working but nonetheless accommodat- ' ing railroad and express agent. He has been faithful to the trust and confidence reposed in him by his supervisors and deserves to he^ar the common- i dation "well done good and faithful servant, come up higher." While at j Irmo it was our good luck to stop with Mr. J. W. Hook and his interesting family where we were made to feel at home. At 12 o'clock m. we left Irmo 1 for Hilton. 1 At Hilton we found friend 8lice as jolly as jolly could be, and after enjoy- 1 ing a hot lunch, we went in search of the dollar due the Dispatch. There were very few taxDavers out to mppt 1 the Auditor at this place, thr farmers I being busy upon their farms prepar- ] i ing for the next crop. After the com- 1 ; pletion of our work at this place we ' 1 I boarded the train for Chapin. j i i The business of Chapin is very good j i ! and is on the increase and the mer- | j chants are consequently in a happy j < r THE xw d suits and overcoats or who ha> iise such as this is cut down in p READ A FEV $13 sn A v*uu $13.00 ALL BOYS SUITS AL! .$5.50 $6.00 Quality $17.00, now rcoats $11.00, new dress and work shoes, will < if CO., TI 1008 COMPANY, , rasa., CO onage. Polite and Prompt : r.. ~i frame of mind, 'x tiey are a joviai sen of good fellows welimet and live, energetic and progressive ever striving 5o do what they conld to build up their bown, shirking no duty and lagging Dot in this purpose. Messrs. Chaffin & Hiller carry a large stock of general merchandise, which is neatly arranged and makes a snowy display. T1 e clerks are all gentlemanly in deportment, handsome in looks, neat in ap- t pearance, and invariable polite and , accommodating. This applies to all of the clerks in all of the stores. Messrs. O. M Frick and J S Wessinger are well stocked with a beautiful line of seasonable goods and , their prices will compete with city prices. There are other smaller con- i cerns who enjoy a liberal patronage. Mr. Williams is postmaster at Hilton and is among the best servants of your Uncle Samuel in the county. The bank is under the management Df Mr. J. F. Honeycutt, one of the pleasantest and most thorough-going business men that it has been our pleasure to meet in years. Mr. J. S. ! ? Wessinger i3 the efficient President ? and has a splendid board of capable directors, making this bank as solid as ?) the rock of Gibraltar. This back did v I % fine business last year and made - 8 1 money for its stockholders.

The- business men 1 ' iaye it in them to make it snch and I ire doing all in their power to accom dish this object. We regret to And bat this section of the county is so itirred up and dissatisfied with their >ld county. Some want to go to Newjerry while others wish to annex to [Uchland, and there is a large number jontented to remain in the coonty where their fathers and their father's |ljlathers and themselves were born and nil eared and this latter element i9 prob- . ibly in the majority.

Friday found us at the pretty little town of Peak, where we always me6t it ] a large crowd of the Yeomany of that thi precinct. No better people than the Peakites ever lived; they are good ^ farmers, kind and hospitable and mf make good returns. Peak holds its own in the business world the business m( of the place is good, the merchants lis en joy a good trade from Fairfield y0 county. Mr. W, H. Suber is the leading merchant and does a flourishing business. He is clever and accommo- 71 dating and honest and popular with 1 bis customers.
