The dispen sary problem will be up again for solution, the Stat • house needs to he fi lished, and the State colleges are still crying, give! give! The man who goes to the Legislature to draw his pay, have a good time, and to make himself popular at home, is not needed.

Camtoiiklix), Dee. 510—The town of Campobello, containing between five hundred and a thousand inhabi tants, is situated only eighteen miles northwest of Spartanburg, on the Southern Railway commonly known as the Spartanburg and Ashville rail road, and near the “foot” of the Blue Ridge mountains of North Caro lina; in fact our town is situated on the outlying spurs of these moun tains We are situated so near these large mountains that we can see some of the magnificent hotels which have been erected upon these mountains j as summer resorts for the Southern . people, and as winter resorts for the ! Northern people, very plainly with j the natural eye. We are also in the ! midst of one of the finest farming! sections to be found in the state, j Many oi the best people of the ! county and state are beginning to J see the value of our town, lands and j educational facilities; for they are rapidly coming to this place to buy : our property and cast in their lots | with ours. Our town overlooks the ! waters of South runs through the side of the business portion and the depot. It is very probable that the educa tional, religious, farming and market i facilities of our town are unsurpassed j by any of the small towns in the tip- ; I per part of South Carolina. We I have two schools, the Cumpobello I 1 High Scho»l, with Messrs. I. W. , i Wingo and G. T. Gresham as co- | j principals, both prominent minis- | 1 ters of the gospel, and a free public • \ school which is being taught by Rev. ' j R. A. Brock, of Inman, 8.
