The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, September 10,1902. 2Totes and-CommentsT" fathered for the Information of the Dispatch Readers. The different Methodist bodies of the world have raised forty million dollars as a 20th Century fund. Ten millions is yet to be raised and all the indications are favorable to its forthcoming at an early date. * * * The State election in Arkansas resulted in an overwhelming victory for tViA rtnmnArnta .Toffiawifin TiaTTIB IUC i/CUJUVl ara BJUU vvuuievu iaw was completely vindicated and his enemies pat to shame and confusion by his re-election as Governor. * * ? A tidal wave followed the last eruption of Moant Pelee, Island of Martinique, in which over a thousand person lost their lives. This island is apparently under the frown of the god of nature and the visitation of his wrath is terrible indeed. * * * Tom Johnson started his little boomlet for the Presidency by capturing the Ohio Democratic State Convention. Hill of New York, is etrond and exceedingly popular candidate for the Democratic nomination and Johneon will find a long "hill" to climb before he reaches the nomination, if he ever does. * * * It is alleged that Wall Street is "agin" Teddy, the Rough Rider, for the Presidency, on account of the speeches he has been making against the trusts and their allied interests daring his present electioneering tour of the States. Teddy seems doomed to defeat and a tool more pliant to the mandates cf the money kings pat in his place. * * * It is reported from;Democrats sources that another enormous bond < issue is contemplated by the government It is claimed that this issue was made necessary by a $4&,uuu,uuu deficit in the country's finances. This deficit is conclusive evidence that it is unwise and impolitic to reduce the tariff. Contrary to the teachings of our two-for-a-nickle politicians the rich, and not the poor, pays this tariff tax because they are in the main sole consumers of imi , ported goods and the usurs of tobacco and the drinkers of whisky?both luxuries?furnish the government with revenue from its only other source. / * * * United States Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, has notified the coal operators in that State that the strike must be brought to an immediate end or else Governor Stone will call the Legislature together in extraordinary session and have passed a compulsory arbitration law that will make strikes a thing of the past. This is the decision of the Republican leaders who are scared oat of their boots at the damage done their party by reason , of the strike already and that which will result if the differences between capital and labor are cot soon amicable adjusted. These strikes in Republican States can be used to great advantage in the interest of the National Democratic party if judiciously and wisely handled by the leaders. * * * The Democrats have issued their party text which is designed to be used in the next national campaign. We have not been favored with a copy of the book, but from our exchanges which have quoted from it, we learn, that the politicians into whose hands the party has fallen are making the same fatal blunder of opposing popular policies and fighting them simply because the Republicans advocate their adoption and with no consideration of their adaptability to the needs and necessities of the people and the business of the country. The Democratic party should according to the theory "nf the eternal fitness of thnffB." govern the destinies of this government and all that is lacking to place it in power is the want of patriotic statesman. * * * The Grand Army of the Republic v proposes to help build a Confederate ^iome at Montgomery, Alabama, fcr the keeping of indigent and decrepid Confederate soldiers as an evidence that the war is ended and the bitterness and animosities of the past have been drowned in a great wave of brotherly love! Great God! what a humiliation! Is the patiiotiEm of the fair women of our Southland bo dead as not to be quicked into life by such a proposition? The idea of these poor old Confederate veterans, who returned from that bloody war after a glorious but unequaled struggle to find their homes smouldering ruins, their live stock and cattle stolen by the invadiDg vandals, their worldly possessions scatterd to the four winds and their women folk subjected to insults and indignities too inhuman to mention, living on the charity of men whose historians have branded the Men of the South as traitors and rebels and are falsifying history to prove their falsehoods. We want the dead past to bury its dead but not at so great a sacrifice. Leave the South's heroes for Southern hands to care for and Southern hearts to love. Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution1 -> 1' _ 7\ _ 3 1 ai remedies. jjeameBs is caused Dy an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrb, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hail's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, 0.

Sunday, in the morning, they're looking down the road expecting he'll come. Sunday afternoon they can't think of nothing else, 'cause he's here. Monday they're sleepy and blue. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday they get absent-minded and begin to look off towards Sunday again, and mope round and let tbe dish water get cold right under their noses. Friday they break diBhes and go eff in the best room and snicker and look out of the window. Saturday they have queer spurts of working and spurts of frizzing their hair. And Sunday they begin it all over again." A Remarkable Record. Chamberlain's Cfougb Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacturers in which it failed to effect a cure. "When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. Thos. W. "Woodward Dead. Major Thomas W. Woodward, of Winnsboro, died Thursday evening at his home, after an illness of several months. He was a man who always took an active part in the affairs of the State, and no man did more hard work than he in deeming the State in 1 TTfl WRS Sfinotn* frnm * v w "WM ^VMM % V4 A *, WUA X Ul&~ field until he was retired, his popularity being unbounded before that time. The laBt public position he held was as chairman of the county delegation to a recent State convention. aWBMMM??MB? ??B State Items. It is said that Senator John L. McLaurin will make Greenville his future home when he returns to the shades of private life. When shredded corn stalks are worth eight dollars a ton it is hard to understand why the farmers allow so many thousand tons to lot in the fields every year. The tobacco business is still booming in the counties of the Pee Dee section. It is claimed that the finest grades of tobacco in the world are grown in that section. A charter has been issued by the Secretary of State to the corporators of the Bank of Prosperity. The capital stock is placed at $*25,000 and the bank is to be opened as soon as the preliminaries are completed. It has been openly charged, and the allegations have been sustained by an abundance of iadispdtable evidence that politics in Charleston are as rotten as that proverbial "something" "in Denmark." It is claimed that the club rolls of some of the wards were outrageously padded and other glaring frauds we perpetrated in the first primary election. In whose interest this disreptuable crime against the decency and intelligence of the State was committed we are not in a position to say, but an analysis of the vote of that modern Gomorrah impresses one with the belief that money was freely ' and almost lavishly used to make possible the perpetration of these frauds. It is possible that indictments will follow. The Eiks of Columbia proposes to hold a grand carnival in that city during fi-ir week next month. There will be side shows, street parades and all kinds of street attractions. These amusements will awaken renewed inte~est in the State Fair and will attract a large crowd of visitors from all over the State and they will leave a large amount of money in the city in their pursuit of pleasure and business. It is to be hoped the railroads will show their interest in the success of the Fair and their public epiritedcess by making the same liberal rates that they did for the "week end" fares to the summer resorts. It seems useless to urge the farmers and good housewives of Lexington county to prepare a creditable dis play of the products of fcbeir handiwork, for '.hey always do this and generally bring home the blue ribbons, and this year will be no exception to the rule. Let us all show our interest in the fair by working for its success. ? ? ? Tkae Care of the Stomach. The man or woman whose digestion is perfect and whcse stomach performs its every function is never sick. Kodol cleanses, purifies and sweetens the stomach and cures positively and permanently all 6tomach troubles, indigestion and dyspepsia. It is the wonderful reconstructive tonic that is making so many sick neonle strnncr hv cnnvprinor to thpir i ir o j ? bodies all of the nourishment in the food they eat. Rev. J. H. Hclladay, Miss , writes: Kcdol has cured me. I consider it the best remedy I ever used for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was given up by physicians. Kodol saved my life. Take it after meals. J. E. Kaufmann. Hurrah for the Farmer. Piping timesof plenty these should be for the farmers in our great West if the recent government crop report is to be trusted, says the Spartanburg Journal. According to the figures, we shall have invested, when the fields are all cut and the shocks all gathered in, the greatest crop ever known in the history of agriculture. It will consist, so the official estimate runs, of a corn crop of 2,122,000,000 bushels, 624,000,000 bushels of wheat and 806,000 000 bushels of oats, an aggregate of 3,862,000,000 bushels for the three grains. The general effect of the crop prospects is reflected in the way merchants in all sections save tbo8ein Texas, where crops were damaged by the recent droughts, are in the markets as free buyers of goods. Their stocks have been allowed to run down, and they are buying freely for the trade and taking a better class of goods than heretofore. The feature of the trade is that are wanted earlier than previous sea sons. All the factories are said to be busy. Railroads are having a larger movement of merchandise to the agricultural sections than last year, and traffic generally is fully as heavy as last year. Money is plenty and cheap, and the West has never had so much prosperity in sight. So hurrah for corn? hurrah for wheat! hurrah for oats! Hurrah for all of us, but especially hurrah for the farsighted, hardworking farmer who planted the crop that han broken the record! In this connection why should not the Southern farmer show in this great prosperity that hasoverwhelmn the farmers of the West? There is but one answer, and that is that our farmers stick to cotton, while the farmers of the West diver sify their crop'. "Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all Jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them.
