kindly sentiment, but that folks
who walk generally are particular
about their associates. ?Rock Hill

"Riah Mas" Writes of Visit.
On the 2nd inst. we. meaning
ourself and Mrs. Mas. arrived at
Fort Mill, a town of upwards of
two thousand inhabitants, situated
on the old C. C. & A., now
the Southern. 10 miles above
Rock Hill. The land is red clay
to the top with scarcely a single
level acre. The people are above
the average in intelligence, education
and refinement. They are
up on all subjects that are passing
throughout the country. And
we see nothing half done, and
the wonder is that we are so fatbehind
in the low country. The
fields in York and over in North
Carolina are red with crimson
clover and many patches of
alfalfa, all of which is being cut
and cured and now ready for
use. Most of the cotton has
been planted, but very little of
the corn, and general farm work
is almost at a standstill, on account
of the drougut that prevails.
The candidates up here are
the only things that look like
Barnwell. They all seem to have
purchased a new suit and panama
hat from under which they seem
to look with confidence and
i broad smiles. We find a wide
1 difference in polities among the
| inhabitants, some strong Rlease
