THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, May 10,1905. At Some and Abroad. T. X L. cures neursgia. There will be fiffcy-three Sundays in this year. Friday was a sizzer. It was hot, v hotter, hotest. The fruit of fortune never falls on a snoring nose. "Old Sol" has really settled down to business at last. The blackberry crop promises to be an abundant one. Efforts are being made to organize a base ball team in Lexington. No spring chickens have made their appearance in our market as yet. That dreaded disease, meningitis is i prevalent in some sections of AnderBon county. - A chronic kicker is a nuisance but an dccasional kick will be very beneficial to some. Who will be the next to put up a brick building in Lexington? Don't all speak at once. IRraArimAnfcfi indicate that cotton can be grown as easily in Africa as it ean be in the South. Thomas Bine, a white man, was found dead in Georgetown on Sonday morning of last week. : This is fine weather for growing crops owing to the delightful rains we hare been having recently.

Two fatalities have been go far re ported from lightning this "summer", and the "summer" is not passed by many a hot day. The United States has addressed a note to all neutral powers concerning the neutrality of China in the Buseia-Japan war. There are quite a number of self sacrificing patriots who are grooming for the gubernatorial race next year. Their name is legion. Comptroller General Jones h&B called a meeting of the State Board of Assessors for May 16, for the purpose of assessing the mills. It is reported that fertilizer men have agreed to use cotton baggiDg for a covering for their sticking stuff, if the farmers so wishes it. The indications are that there will be a $25,000,000 deficit in the United States treasury. This is aboat a nickle more than we would like oar pile to be. It is [probable that Georgia will borrow the Sooth Carolina shad law just as this State borrowed Georgia's dispensary law. Well, swap abonts is fair play. The people living along the Atlan* tic Coast Line between the points . named have asked for a double daily train from Sumter, this State, to FByeitsville, N. G, and return. An itenerant evangelist preached on our streets Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, after which he struck the big road and shook the dust of Lexington from his feet. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper -will be pleased to learn- that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh a constitutional disease, rea aires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they -offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & Co.,Toledo,O.

It is an ideal magazine for the home circle. The town council of Lexington should pass an ordinance prohibiting the erection of any more frame buildings on Main street within a given limit. We have already too inany fire traps now. The Greenville News says, "If we are short on candidates for Governor we might send a committee to Honea Path and urge our old friend 'Josh' Ashley to run." We might and then again we mighten. House flies are almost as numerous as the sand upon the seashore. The pesky things seem to take a delight in tantalizing perspiring humanity and trying the temper of the careful housewife. Bishop Turner, of African Methodist Episcopal Church, is of the opinion that America is the place for the whites and Africa is the place for the blacks, and in this the Bishop is pretty near correct. It is asserted on pretty good authority that the fertilizer men are buying more tags than is necessary. A farmer at Beno says that some of his sacks had ten tags on each of them, and from various other sources come reports of excessive use of tags. And now it is said by scientists, and the saying is confirmed by medical men, that the oyster is a bearer of typhoid fever germs. Notwithstanding this fearful arraignment, there will be more of this delicious bivalve eaten hereafter than ever before. Ex-President Grover Cleveland is enjoying himself hunting t?jd fishing on -the preserves of General Alexander near Georgetown. We are almost persuaded to go down and join fiim on a camp fish. Only the closefistedness of our delinquent sub scribe re keep as from doing so. The taking of the testimony in the Campbell shortage suit before Master Verner of Eichland county, is nearly finished and a report will be made, in a few weeks to the coart. Mr. Campbell died while he was Treasurer of Eichland county and it is contended that he was short in his accounts, and hence the suit. Vaudevilles, Friday night dances, park amusements and Sunday afternoon street car rides are some of the attractions that Columbia offers her people to pleasantly pass the hot and dull months, while we?well, we just plow on, regardless of the scorching rays of a summer sun, to make bread and meat with which to feed Columbia people.

His present salary is $8,000 per annum. He will now get $100,000. Who wouldn't leave patriotism and glory for the "other feller' when such a princely increase in salary is knocking at the door. Wednesday dispatches says that the Russian fleet is still in French waters and that thousands of tons of coal are stacked along the Saigon river for the use of the Russians. This game of bide and seek now being played by the opposing fleets comes pretty high to the two beligerant governments. The strawberry men around Lake City are making red hot kicks to the Railroad Commissioners on account of the inability, or neglect, whichever you want to call it, of the railroad people to furnish a sufficient number of refrigerator cars to move the berries, and it is claimed that hundreds of dollars are being lost daily as a result. It is said that the berry crop this year is the largest in the history of this State. Somebody must love strawberry shortcake more than we do. Generally speaking the shortest day in the year is usually the day before pay day. Fortunately for mankind, the weather never objects to being talked about. Confederate Generals. Death Leaves But Few Surviving of the Gallant Band. "Yes, the list of surviving officers of the Confederate army is decreasing sorrowfully fast," remarked that gallant soldier from South Carolina, former Senator Matthew C. Butler, last evening at the Riggs House, says the Washington Post "The death of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee t J:? i leaves, acuuruiug tu LUJ UCOU iotujici;tion, only four who were of the rank of Major General?Generals Wheeler, Lomax, Eosser and myself. Of the Lieutenant Generals, but three survive?Generals Buckner, Stewart, and Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi. South Carolina had in the Southern cause ;thirty-three general officers, and of these only three are living." General Butler himself, . though verging upon the three-score and ten limit, is still vigorous, though minus a limb, which was lost iu battle. For generations men of his family have been of commanding influence in the old Palmetto state. The General is spending the evening of his life tranquilly and happily, staying for the most part at his plantation on the Savannah river, near Augusta, but often coming to the national capital, where for many years he was one of the most honored and conspicuous of the Southern senators. Saved "by Dynamite. Sometimes a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes a coagh hangs on so long, yon feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhonn, Ga., writes: "My wife had a very aggravated cough, which kept her awake nights. Two physicians could not help her; so she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which eased her cough, gave her sleep and finally cured her."

Heyward has commuted the sentence of Sam Marks, colored, - J from hanging to imprisonment ior life. Marks was to be hanged in Darlington on Friday next for the murder of a white man named Langsford. For seizing two gallons of "KillMe Q iick" whiskey by State constables, a suit for $100 has been entered against Chief Constable Bammet. The plaintiff must have wanted to * die mighty bad else he would have the constobles for saving his life by taking the poison from him instead of suing them. But, theD, some men are ungrateful. ! Frank Haven, secretary of the Albany, N. Y , board of underwriters, was shot and killed on Monday by Miss Julia Craver, a clerk in his office. She says she did not think the pistol wa3 loaded and pointed it at him in fun. A mormon could have a good deal of spending money borrowing back the allowances of all his wives. Twenty-five carloads of strawberries were shipped from Lake City, Williamsburg county, last week. Many a man who praises the free lunch down town growls about the dinner at home.

Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realised. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-R oot is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new discovery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Wagener County. The Orangeburg Patriot We should regret most grievously to lose any portion of Orangeburg county, but the people who are in the proposed territory working to form a new county should not be denied their rights under the law. We do not believe, however, that the people of the Springfield section are willing to play second fiddle to Wagener?especially when their tax money would go largely towards paying the fiddler. A G-flod Succesticm. ~ ? ? "-08' Mr, C. B. Wainwright, of Lemon City, Fla., has written the manufacturers that ! much better results are obtained from the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedy in cases of pains in the i stomach, colic and cholera morbus by taking it in water as hot as can be drank.

"Waal, missis, jest tell her to 'scuse bad SDellin' and writin'!" K How to Ward Of Old Age. The most snccessful way of warding off the approach of old age is to maintain a vigorous digestion.
