The Editor of tbis paper ie spending the week on the Edisto, making # war on the catfish, the assistant editor is visiting in Horry county, and the Dispatch Devil is in full charge. If the paper is not up to its usual standard of excellence and if the edis torial column is missing for the week the Devil will be to pay. The Editors are not responsible for this issue. "The fellow who habitually borrows his neighbor's daily paper is bad encugh to deserve punishment, but the person who receives his county paper for weeks, months and year*? who gathers from its columns all he knows of the happenings in the county, state and the world at large? and fails to pay the pitifully small price charged cannot be suitably characterized in public language."?The Columbia State. , Abram Zurasky, a Jewish peddler from Aiken, was most foully murdered in that county one day last week * - ? i i_ _ A ; Alter Having Deen soot twice, am body was brutally backed with an axe and left for the vultures to prey upon.

After being in session four days the College of Cithoiic Cardinals elected on Tuesday, as successor* to Pope Leo, the XIII Guiseppe Sarto, who has assumed the title of PiusX Great excitement prevailed in Home during the conclave and the announce* ment of Sarto's election was attended with splendid demonstrations. The following extract from a letter written by G. M. Harman, editor of the Dispatch, to the proprietors of Ramon's Remedies is self-explanatory: "There is no pill that equals Ramon's Pills; they leave the bowels and stomach with such pleasant, healthful feelings?no bad effects? after performing their work so thoroughly. I have tried them, and know whereof I speak." 25 cts. Batesburg Items. To the Editor of the Diepatch: Since I wrote last we have had an epidemic of marriages. Among them I record the following: Mr. W. H. Sills and Mies Kate Haltiwanger by the Rev. Mr. Kinard, of Leesville. Mr. Sills is engineer ->n 4 he Southern Railway and Miss i* the accomplished daughter ji our fHeDd H. W. Hal iwanger. Mr. P. R. Grady, of the North state, and Miss Carrie Smith, being firm believers in the old adage that ?? -J L m love, as wen ss war, every auvautage is allowed left the home of the bride without the knowledge or consent of the powers that be?and arriving at the midnight hour, aroused the Rev. Dr. Edwards of that place and were happily married. Again last Wednesday p. m., one of our most popular young men, M B. Edwards, visited Miss Sallie Gregory to go driving. The carriage rolled rapidly to Leeeville, where the couple were married. The grooms father, Rev. Joab Edwards, pronounced the nuptial ceremony. After awhile spent with the family there they returned to the home of Mr. I Edwards and the family and friends in large numbers greeted tnem witn aD ovation. All heartily eojoysd the humor of the handsome young couple, who outwitted the curious by eluding them in the quiet drive to the neighboring town. They are re ceiving the congratulations of our people and are among the most popular young people of our town. The Presiding Elder of this District, Rsv. Mr. Beasly, has been in town a few days. He held quarterly meeting at Providence, near here, Saturday and Sunday night was to have preached at the Methodist church in towD, but the rain prevented. Rev. Dr. Wilkins has been at Perry and at Neece's station, in Aiken, and Orangeburg in protracted meetings for the last two weeks. He is de lighted with his work at those places and is high in his praise of the good people in those sections. Tne building fever has again struck our town and 0. W. D Ricard is building a handsome brick store in the place where his frame building stood. This will make sixteen handsome brick structures in town or nearly half the business houses. Lieut. Col. John Bell Towill js kept busy at the frequent reviews of i'ae military of the State. The Col. properly attends with his chief, Gov. Heyward on these occasions. We had a fine rain Sunday, the first, for quite awhile. Crops are only medium. Some complaint is very properly indulged in for in the whole the prospect is worse than for some years past, but the opinion is freely expressed that the prices will be better than for a number of years past. Occasional. August 4,1903. Concerning Good Roads. Attention re called to the accouEt of the York County Good Roads Convention Dublished on daffe 6. of c - - X o ' the current issue of this paper. Iu the ab36Dce of the editor the present writer does not feel justified in commooting upon the merits or demerits of thes j resolutions. However, they are printed for the benefit of the public and those who contemplate attending the convention for this county the 20ch instant, will doubtless find it profitable to study them. The civilization of a people is said to be measured by their roads and by what they read. Some things aie certain. Lexington county is in need of better roads than Bhe now has. If sh6 is to have them, the sooner the better, and those who attend the convention for this couDty should come with some practical, economical scheme for immediate work along this line. Let the people study the York county plan, adopt what is good and reject what is bad. The Governor offers a reward of one hundred and fifty dollars in this issue for the apprehension and delivery to the sheriff, George Edwards, who is charged with the murder of William Hall on the 15th day of July 1903. Hon. Arch B. Calvert was recently re-elected mayor of Spartanburg. CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON Says Pe-ru-na is a Splendid Ca COLONEL L. 1. LIVINGSTON. Colonel L. 1.

Elizabeth was about to step on the cloak that Raleigh put down in front when a sudden thought struck her. "Has it been sterilized?" she asked sternly. It was evident by Raleigh's look of sudden dismay that he had been guilty of gross neglect "It only goes to show." said Elizabeth, stinging him through her lorgnette as she was lifted over the puddle, "how even one who loves me so much may grow criminally careless."?Philadelphia Ledger.
