Letter From Mr. Dabbs Tryon, X. ?., .luly 10.ldjjt). Two weeks ago yesterday we went to Greenville, 38 mile*; it is an easy two hours trip. The only things 1 saw worth noti ig were the very lousy condition of the cotton crop?spind? ling stalks and kinky leaves, perhaps outgrown by now, but very unpropi ( t ( Hons looking then. A larger acreage ij in corn than 1 thought on my tirst j" trip' to Greenville and corn looking' fine. Mid the wheat' crop that was? being harvested. About halfway from! here we stopped at a fine water-driven fb.ur mill and bought some seconds' for batter cakes. The oWiver said he was busy the year round on honid grown wheat. Coming out of "Green? ville we met a train of C. S. Motor Transports, 34 trucks. :> motor cycles, tank truck, shop truck, field kitchen truck, hospital truck, and officers touring t ars. The outfit was stretched out over more than two miles Of the highway. One of the motorcyclist* told us they were oh a four ef in? spection and practice hike from Bat-' timore. Md., which place they k>ft the preceding Monday, to San Francisco, which they grf scheduled to reach September 1Vth? nearly three months on tili road. OVer the DankheaXl highway, named for the late Senator BanWhead of Alabama, who served many years in the tJ. S. Senate and was for a Ibhg time chairman of the lonati Committee oh Post Roads. Our party took snapshots of some of the Cars. The dim were dusty, but looked* like they did not. mind the trip. The next day we saw accounts of their' entertainment in Gaffne.V\ Greenville and other eitle*. The nClt week was m very busy one with me. Was in two meetings In Tryon. Tn*e PeHx county li.ithp&hlre Breeders ' Association, Where 1 lu-ard the annre old story of foci of baiqi market? for county pro? duce, and what to do to remedy this" bar to progress. The statement was made that 95 per cent, of all the meats consumed by the people of Tryon and almost of the county are shipped in. 1 was so much interested ! in hearing the ekpeiienees of these ' new neighbors experiences so much like ours in Burntfer and Let counties that T did not raise my voice, but I do want Sandford Wheeler to know that I can keep still on occasion. Then 1 attended ' the Tryun' Fruit; Kgobarige meeting and Icajped many' things about the market end of the, graph industry. Harpy Metropole of Suinteris a ensjoftter of the Tryon Fruit Fxchunge and Our qrapes are soid in Columbia. :jjtvannah, Cha'iies tnn and .lacksorfv^le Jti we|| n? |jr the surrounding cities and towns. Some have gone to Baltimore, New York and Chicago. The grape grow? ers here have found that it is abso? lutely csseatinl to market the crop through a centra j agency. This J agency also buys chemicals, sprayers, etc.. and crates for Its members. We are now unloading s solid car of crates. knovked down, and baskets. I41 st week 1 spent several days at home. Was (n two very interesting meetings- one at Brick Church and the other at Turheville. Both meet? ings tooks forward steps Of far reach-, ing import in the affairs of the church in One instance, and of Kumttr and Clarendon counties in the Other. A full congregational meeting changed the vi*ti ot the Brica Church pastor, to $-.00u. which in proportion to mem bership is the largest salary in Har? mony Presbytery. Toe Turbevill-e meeting was unanimous; for two im? portant roads thai, will mean more for the development of Sumter county than anything thai bias been done since the MeBridc causeway was built LA years ago. and the county com? missioners prom eed that one "the Dabbs road" wil be opened at once, flan?J the other just after Turbeville votes into Sum bar county. There must have been a thousand 3 .people" at the splendid /picnic dinner t provided by'the good ladies o'l Tur? beville. If the (o?o.ty board gjjfs "the Dabus rpad"' the original T?rbeviUe' aliojtt cut well underway, befpre- the |electf?n on' annecallbiV! f" believe that section will vote 4 to 1 to come ba? k into Sumter cotinty. the old Mother District of K?volutl?nury Days, i do n?t wonder that Capt David and Mr. Alderman and others of the ?ood citi? zens of Manning are strenuously op? posed to losing the wide-aw'ake" peo? ple of Turbeville-nor that Sumter business men, who are always on the lookout for bigger fields of trade and sdventure, should be holding out the "glad hand" of welcome. F. \V. Dabbs. _ i A well informed Mhsnranee maa slates that the surest and quickest way to reduce the tire risks in Humter and obtain lower rates is for the City Council to adopt and enf?rc.e an or? dinance forbldd\.ng the use of "shingles on roofs. It would doit be the'idea to require the immediate replacement, of all shingle roofs, mfl no permits would l?e planted for n*w houses With Shin Sle roofs, nor would permits he grant? ed for the rr-shingling of an old houei needing h" rieW root, lrt time all Shingle roofs would he rephy.-ed"with metal or uon-inttamahle roofing. The matter is worth consideration, for shingle roofs invite ;t Widespread con? flagration some day Boll weevils have ^hje'en" found within the past week at "several plkc.es in Sumter county.

The Re? publicans may deny, they may evade tnd squirm, they will certainly rage, but ttfoy will not have t,ime enough ?etween now and doomsday to cxcul plate ' themselves from the ?neeifbJa Lions of his indictment. He tells of the i'ommlttt>e on Foreign Relations care tuffy packed against the treaty; of trie misrepresentations, of its purport and effect; of the falsehoods about *he President's refusal to permit the dot? ting of ah "i" or the crossing of a ,#t": of the incorporation in the instrument by the President of amendments sug? gested by AIr. Taft. Mr. Root and Mr. Hughes; of the attitude of the ifro concifiables like Rorah. who used a bludgeon to kill the treaty, while Dodge used poison; he points out that it'look the Senate nearly three times as'long to kill the treaty us It did 1ihe representatives 01 the Allied Govern? ments tp make it. Mr. "Cummingfc-'sums up wRh till? ing effect the evidence to show that 'Ariierkah honor is bound : upIn this cOlfl&et and that good faith requires that v\c should enter the league of N'atlona." The establishment of'an agreement among nations to mak* peace secure was tlie purpose we prO elalrhed' beiqre we entered the x.-ar. when we entered the war. while we lighting to win the war.

Chairman I'ummings does not de vote all his attention to the nbn$ai tlon party. He reviews the achieve mentk of the two Democratic AOmtn ist rations and he has no apologies t? make.
