The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, July 16, 1902. Echoes from Irene. To the Editor of the Dispatch: A common expression?"Gents, ain't she hot!" We are now enjoying the Christian hospitality of the good people of the pretty little town of Irene. Mr. Editor, you ought to be out here feasting with us on the aqueous melon. Have you had the grip? A general rain would be more acceptable just now than the appearance of the candidate. The mill hands of Saxe-Gotha hsd a holiday in commemoration of the historical Fourth. Watch out for "brown eye?."' At this place we find many of dear old Lexington's best boys holding lucrative and honorable positions in the service of the mill company. Among them may be found John W. Gunter, a better boy the moon [fair woman] never smiled upor; David Hall, the skillful machinist, who is made of the right "stuff" to climb the ladder that reaches to fame and to fortune. Well, Mr. Editor, if the vote seekers keep creeping out of the bush we'll have a pretty fair crop to select from after all. It's getting too hot for them in the ck bush" and I am a little "skeart" it will be too warm for some of thepi in the race. The protracted meeting here is still in progress. Much interest has been manifested. Some have already turned from nature's darkness into the light and liberty of the gospel of Christ and have professed faith in the atoning blood or the Lamb. Others are deeply convicted of sin whom we Vtnrta t?ill fnllntp in thfi fnntftfpns fif Jesus. The Rev. H. M. Fallaw is with the pastor and is delivering the glad tidings of salvation with such earnestness and unction from on high that sinners are constrained to accept the terms of mercy and flee the wrath to come. HeDry is a very able and faithful ambaesador of Christ and we pray God's blessings to abide with him in hi3 great work of the Master, I and that he may have many precious immortal souls for his hire. Steps are being taken to paint the church and already a start has been effected. A new bell has been placed in the belfrey and its clear ringing tones can now be heard calling the people to the house of prayer where God is wont to be found. When the church gets the finishing touches from the artist's brush and the new carpet is stretched it will take on a neat and attractive appearance and will be an edifice that will be a credit 1 o the religious and moral tone of the people of this community.

Calhoun, of Greenville, has published an important volume on the "Caucasian and the Negro in the Uuited States.'' It. is an argument intended to aid in the solution of the negro question. In the book Mr. Calhoun reviews the political, social and educational history of the negro from emancipation up to the present time. From the outset he takes the ground that it is impossible for two races, as unlike as the Caucasian and negro, to flourish and prosper together in the same country, under the same constitution and laws. Ha is willing to admit that the negro could continue to exist as an acknowledged inferior; but holds that with the progress of education, the maintenance of this condition is impossible. Education creates in the negro a desire for equality, snd the desire for equality inevitably briogs conflict. A coutinuance of - L T 1 present conditions wm evectuan.y result in the annihilation of the negro, and this can be accomplished only at a terrible expense to the civilization of the Caucasian race. The most reasonable and practical solution cf the fearful question, Mr. Calhoun thinks, colonization. He does not think the negro can be sent back to Africa on account of the expense j and other difficulties; but does believe ! that if the Federal government will [ take hold of the matter with earnest I determination, lands may be found j in the Uuited States on which to set- I tie the negro and put a stop to further social and political dangers present or future. As to how near Mr. Calhoun is to being right in this matter, there is ground for much difference of opinioD; but whether right or wrong in his conclusions, ? there is 110 question of the fact that that he has made an intelligent presentation of a most important subject ?a subject that should engage the most earnest consideration of the people of the South and of the United 'States until it is settled and settled right. Brain Food Nonsense. ? Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will | sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug Store.

The State Board of Equalization has not completed its work, but hos ! taken a recess until the 29th inst.

The board then proposes to equahze all real estate in all counties so that all shall pay taxes on a basis of 7o per cent. Some members wanted to make the basis even lower, but this was rejected, but only by the deciding vote of the chairman, the board being equally divided on the question. On the other hand the board very readily agreed, however inconsistent they were in doing so, to assess at' their full value, cotton and cotton seed oil mills and fertilizer factories. The Virginia Carolina company's nlant in Columbia was assessed at ?00,000 and the Royeter Guano Company's at about -50,000. As to cotton mills, the preferred stock is valued at $100, and common stock at rate reported by the mills. Don't Fail to Try This.

Muller; And, whereas, Sandy Run has been bereft of one its most useful citizens; the Lutheran church an efficient and faithful officer, the community a kind and skillful physician, who spared neither his labor, his time nor his talent in furthering the interest and welfare of others, therefore be it.

That the sincerest sympathy of this Council be tendered to the family of the deceased. 3.

He will be among the candidates and he may appear in large numbers. You can tell him by his talk. If you are a farmer, he will tell you how .the farmers are down-trodden, and that he is your greatest friend; if you will follow him to town, you will hear him tell the merchant that there is too much class legislation and that he wants to see less bitterness among the people you will hear him Ml the mill people that he believes in protecting their interests, and if he thinks they favor it, he believes in a child labor bill; if they are opposed to it, he says all legislation along this lino is an 1 l __ . u^ encroaeumeut uu iueu iiueiLxei*; uc will tell the bankers that money is worth what it will bring and that all legislation as to interest is unwise, but he will tell the people that bank interest is eating them up, and something ought to be done, if you are an old soldier he will believe in big pensions; if you love a drink he is ready to treat; if you are a prohibitionist, so is he. In short, he is a chameleon of the purest water, and he thinks the only prerequisite for a statesman is a ready tongue for promises and a handshake for everybody. Now, would it not be a good idea for the voters this year, to hunt for men rather than for handshakers, and for records rather than for promises. Look out for men of clean records; men of ability; men who have always kept their promises; men who stand well among their neighbors; men who have always attended to their own business well, and you will find that these will serve the people faithfully. Above all beware of the man who begins to abuse the people who belong to another class, profession or business than your own. When a man does that he is exhibiting unmistakable signs of being a demagogue. Saves a "Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorchester, Mass.

Czar To Make Cotton Seed Oil. New Oreleans, July 10?Mathien de Nicouline, of St. Petersburg, and Walter Stendel, of Moscow, arrived here today after an examinatipn of the cotton seed oil plant at Natchez Mr. de Nicouline is the manager of the cotton department of the imperial domain of Russia, and Mr. Stendel is at the head of one of the larg est cotton mills at Moscow. They are visiting the south for the purpose of arranging for the introduction of the cotton seed oil industry into their country. Heretofore the seed has been used as cattle feed. The czar's own cotton domain produces 11,000 bales annually, and the first Kussian oil mill will be erected to handle the seed from it. Need More Help.
