ULESV LLE TO THE RIVER Traveler" Gives Some inter esting Reading of the People and Country Between Liles vtlle and Grassy island. Correspondence of The Courier. Mij. Editor: The story is to'd of a man who g t into deep water and couldn' t swi'.n a bit. Clinging to the bushes he cried out, "Good L,ord, I have never troubled you bietore, and if you will hear me this time I will never trouble you any mure " I am .asking for a lit tle space in the Courier, but don't promise never to do so again. Your visits to Lilesyille used to be frequent, but since you and she bo h got married your "smiling face"' is seldom seen about the place, around which, doubtless, clutter pleasant memories. Yes; !ve saw you once at the bun- beams" ptc nic at Ingrams fishery, and don't you remember that din ner? Yours'art at jobusity prob ably dates from tWtlday. We can't fu-rr.ish you a-s ;p!ea?ant company y'oVL had then, but come along in your imagination and let us travel alcnt; this route again, stait i'ng around the Boulevard, north of -lilesyille. "Boulevard?" Yes-,, indeed, and its as nice a little drive of about two and one-half miles as can be found any where. The road is level out J)y the churches but mountarieou? through ''Mount ?isery". leading up to the depot 1- 4; , . ,u un, i j)i Licaains: ovX Irom the "Boulevard ue rett a little bioeath the great oaks, where can ,seen a hand 's . some and most prolific flock of J poultry, controlled and managed b'Miss Vic Henry, who is an ex j pert in chicken and garden culture as well os raising liowers. tiere chirps to the clucking hens one hundred and sixty "biddits," with sx siting hens to hear from soon: Ifight. hundred and nine eggs were gathered up during the mOnch of April. As to her garden she had bjean blooms the firt cay of May, ajnd Irish potato vnes with pota- tes at t e roots and plenty of bugs oh the tops,' and cabbage with worms cit both euds. Her collec u ii of ilowers, cousbting of roses of vaii?us kinds, and hot house I plants', are beautiful. In the gioye ! stands the little school house where i'Miss Fanner is -successfully teach ing her half d"zen pupils, but will close about first of Tune for vaca tion. - i Parsing along we next come to the residence of the late Benj. Liles. Here, too, is a handsome shade. This now is the borne of Mrs. Li'es arid Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Morton. The next is Fall Branch school house, w-here Prot. W, A. Newell has 'just closed a successful free schcol. Just down The hill we find the well bucket factory of Jewell & Seago and the homes of Mr. D. A. and Rev. Patrick Seago and the country home of Capt. (pn-s. B. Lindsay, where now lives Messrs. Scarboro and Riden'jpur. I f Rut nark- tr fhp i'rAcrp fr.orl just over there stands the old home qf the late Daniel McL,aurin, where lie died as he had live, all alone, with none but the pittying eye of Ood resting upon him. He was a good and peaceable citizen and will be missed. Next we come to Benj. WeTbs, wh j bos so far re,oVered from a Recent attack of illness as u be' on he go again. A little to the other side of ihe road, a-down the hill, lives that man of God, Rav. Benj. Saunders. I W"ith hat in hand 1 speak oi this grand old man. He has just pass cd his ninetieth birthday and is 4' ill in good h.ilthand spirits He has. been a member of Lilesville Baptist church seventy years. He looks back over life as well spent and to the future with hone of Ib'essed immortality.. the inimitable "Wili," who lives well and takes life easy. Just be yond is Mrs. Forlaw"s. It washer son who lost the goM watch, but luckily fountHfiifter he had suffer ed mental arlgiiilh aad "swore off." Calls to abetter life come some times in different ways Jim could dj well,, and we think will cease to sow wild oats. He, together with 1 his aunt, Mrs, Smith, have good h- mes and valuable cotton lands. Now we haye reached Ingrams "Moust.aa." Here reside Mrs. C. N. and Mr. T. J. Ingram, who have lovely country homes aud successfully, conducts large farms, if you wan't a newspaper m in, Mr. EdtuVi we inighf, before going down .he mountain side, ruu in and se- Aunt Nancy, who is easily one of the finest. old ladies living. Bat yuu miht go and te!l about Tom mie going to the Exposition, so lets go along That neat little church out there is Savannah, wbere Bro. Gasque preaches once a month to good sized congregations, and out there is the home of the late Mr. and Mrs Jtseph Downer, and all around here lives -good people Messrs. Joel Newton, Sam Holder, Jim Teal and a number of otners that I do not now recall. The last we mention before reaching the river is the spot on Ingrams level whereon used to stand 1 he court house of Anson county in the long ago. Coasting along up the tanks we find the Ingram fishery idle, as is the old Grassy Island mill. Here we will stop lor this time and leave you the old landmarks to guide j'ou back to the Courier office and guess who wrote it. Traveler. How to grow Big Chrysanthe : mums. The following iuformation which will be of interest just now to all flowtr growers: From the middle of April to the mid dlo of ilay is the time to set out chrys aatheiaums. We intend to plant about May 1st. Prenare yoar bed well. To ordinary garde&soil tdd a little rotted manure and enongh sand to make the mixture light. It must be well pulverized and drained, but not necessarily richer than for common vegetables. Put out the plants 2 l-2jfeet apart,-and shade, with- 1 lout caiuuuj.uk iuo an. iui auuuii bia i, 6 x,' . uiiya. uu 1105 allow iiiuui io Btiiier lur water, but too much may cause them to rot. j The beds will need hoeing every few week, and the plants must never be al lowed to droop for the want of water. If well drained, chrysanthemums w.ill drink incredibly ; otherwise they will rot. When the plants are 18 inches high, f tie them to reeds. Later on give support to each stem, as they become quite heavy, and the fall winds must not. be allowed to bruise the blossoms by dash ing them together. Just before the August rains begin, start yonr forcing. A spadeful of fresh horse manure turned under with a fork between each plant, will Dot be too strong, even when the sun is hot, if the ground is quite wet ; and the manure will not burn when turned under and not exposed to the sun. Do this about the liTst of August, again in three weeks, and the last time the middle of. September, when the flower buds begin to form. Pinch off all but one bud at the fop of each stem, and feed three times a week with a spadeful of cow manure stirred in water. Discontinue this when buds show color. Chrysanthemums require attention daily, and the woman that spends her summer away from home, or the woman that gives her man servant instructions, and then goes on her way rejoicing in the faith 'they will be carried out in de tail, willi do well to give her garden space to less exacting flowers. The in sects must be carefully "watched, for if left alone for any length of time, tbey multiply amazingly, and are very de structive. If all this is troublesome, spend your time more congeially, for "con amore is the only method of growing these flowers successfully. An Inquisitive Boy- "What are you doing in the pan try, Willie?"

Leaving Wadesbor Saturday, April 10th, nothing of importance happened until we reached Atlanta where we met tho Mecklenburg camp of veterans, atxrat 30 stroug. We took a Pullman sleeper for Dallas, passing Montgomery aud Mobile in ;the night, arriving in New Orleans, Sunday morning, where we spent the day in that beantifnl his toric city. If we had not bad our cal enaar with us we could not hve told it was the Sabbathday. Nearly all the saloons, many stores, shops, markets. ' etc., were open and doing business Sportsmen were out fishing, hunting, base balling and every week day sport was in full blast. We asked them why they violated the Sabbath so? They said so many foreigners were here, we have to allow such, to keep fhtm, Of course many were at church. New Or leans is a beautiful city at this season of the year. EVery available spot is blooming with beautiful tropical flow ers and plants Jackson square and Etst park are the prettiest places we ever saw. The sluggish waters of the great Mississippi lazily moves by-and is dotted with huge steamers of traffic of nearly every nation. Monday morning,, we crossed the river and took the Texas Pacific railroad for Dallas. We went directly up the rivsr for 150 miles, through the great sugar belt, the finest country in the w orld. After , leaving the beautiful truck farms, near New Orleans, every thing was sugar cane. It was common to see 40, 50 or 100 mules plowing in one field. Every farm .had its sugar mill. All the -dwellings fere near the bank of the river, which makes a continuous town for 100 miles, beautiful sight to to bo seen. After passing oat of the Mississippi bottoms, we struck the borders of the' great State of Texas. The first 50 or 60 miles is poor and broken as the hills of Anson. After passing Shreveport.Mar shall and Longview, we came to Terrel, Texas, where the country is fine all the way to Dallas. Dallas i3 in the midst of the black waxie belf, the finest part iof Texas. We visited Dallas, Rockwall, Collins, Hill and otber counties in the black waxie belt, the finest country we ever expect to se. The land is level, black as ink. with a soil of 15 feet deep and very fertile and easy to cultivate. Im proved land in the black belt can be bought for less than $50 to $75 per acre. The water is lime stong and at times very scarce. What little timber there is, is bodark, which is very valuable. Tie homes in the rural districts are very inferior. The schools are fine. Tue public school money per capita last year was $8. Dallas is the centre of real estate eagency.. Capitalists are anxious to-loan money on real estate in black waxie belt. The indian, the buffalo, the broncho, and lasso are things of the past in Tex as and very few people in Texas now have horns. - It is the coming country of of the world. They are anxious fo good emigrants to Bettle up the great Northwest, which is yet in prairies. The reunion was a grand success, tit was like the old time camp meeting. It was touching to see the old vets meet, hug, kiss and cry like baby heroes. Over 600 old veterans registered from North Carolina. Veterans and visitors from North Carolina were estimated to be over 2,000. One : old vet said if he had known there were so many rebels left, he would have been fighting yet. Gen. JBorden and jCol. Carr were the centre of attraction. The parade on Friday wiil never be excelled. Dallas did her, duty royally, but the crowd was much for her. J. A. Kendall. Wharf, May 10th, 1902.

No convention ever assembled in Georgia holds out hope for higher and better results than the South ern Educational Conference, the sessions of which ended Saturday night. It is only fair to say that before this conferenc mar, people were lackin ing of the ideas ofthp -prp?s tiieu who gatheredin Athens." tfith their coming all doubt disap peared. From the first words ut tered by tbe kindly, philanthropic president, Mr. ' Robert C. Ogden, it was seen that the purposes of our visitors were of the purest, the purest, the ideas and methods the sant, andHheir acts the kindest and noblest, that could be con ceived. t The genrous gifts made to the cause of educatioq in Georgia by the general education board, of which Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., is president, are but a small part of the great work done and piojected by these true and noble friends of education. It is safe to say that there is not one who came within tbe sound of the voice of those who made the" Southern Ed ucational Conference that was not benefited thereby. The conference was distinctly ennobling:. Never before were there so many brainy men gather ed together in a cause so inspiring and truly unselfish. No man who attended the conference, teacher, public man, publicist or plain citi zen, will fail to put in his sympa thy, time and effort back of the great plans there unfolded, and therefore the future for education seems rosy with promise. One mi not but pleasing effect of this great Education Conference was to show how school educa'tcrs of the south have grown in comprehension of their great task and duty. It may seem to border on exaggeration, but those who heard and read the speeches delivered at the- confer ence believe , that no better have ever been heard in he south. There was not one on the list which was not marked by splendid thought an still nKre splendid purpose. The .announcement cf the ob jects and plans of the conference first set forth by Mr. W. H. Bald win, Jr., eyoked applause in Ath and commendation throughout ! Georgia. Our people realize' now what disinterested friendship means In the future there will be no halt ing or suspision, but with open arms and hearts full to overflowing will these crusaders in tbe cause of education be received. It is not putting it too strongly to fey that future generations in the south will acclaim the names ot Baldwin, Pea body and Ogden. Let no prejudiced pen nor ran corous voice be raised against these men. They are our friends and we have learned to iove them. Beftnthe of .The Kind Yea hUw Va 0o& Severely III. Indianapolis News.
