The subscription price of the Dispatch is $1 a year; 50 cents for six montlis; 25 j cents for three months?invariably cash in advance. C Wednesday, October 25,1905. * . . It seems from the published report that former State Treasurer , Bates, and Timmerman and the pres ent Tresurer Jennings are bard bit * V. ik m orlr I UJf IUO uoiaiuaviuu Ul x/uuu u , Zimmerman. Treasurer Bates, it j seems, early in 1890, when be entered upon the duties of the office 2 to which tie had been elected, much against bis wishes employed one Zimmerman as bond clerk. As we understand it, Zimmermans duties, among other things, were to accept bonds of the State of South Carolina for stock. The former being payable to bearer and the latter only npon order, was considered much preferable by investors. When these bonds | were presented for exchange Zimmerman was to cancel and destroy them in the presence of his &uperior officers. And in doiog this he abstracted, from time to time from the package to be canceled or destroyed, bonds to the amount of . something like $12,000 with interest. By an accident these peculations were discovered and it is now proposed to 1 hold these three Treasurers and their jj bondsmen responsible. This we con j t asider all wong. These three' men o are gentlemen of high standing in to their private and business life. Their P characters are simply unimpeachable, g ... / their books have been examined time 2 and again by committees and pro- b - nouced correct. Two of them have j been out of office for years and their a books turned ovsr in good condition and when this was done their respon- i ^sibility ceased when they went out v of -offics and turned over their books Z?.mmerman, if gnilty, should be 7 punished.' Treasurers Bates, Timmerman and Jennings are in no way P responsible for the defalcation alleged j to have been discovered and neither t of them nor their bondsmen should ? make this deficit good. >v * # 1 * That the County Fair was a social _ success, visitors to the ground all agree. The exibits in all the departments were more numerous than her; A fcofore and were unusually fine. The a verdict of those capable of judging * is that they surpassed anything ever c > seen sfc a State ftir. Mmb ci p J this was the result of the o efforts of the officers who have given . their time and attention to the work 0 v ~ in hand. In appreciation of the r p services the stockholders have re t< elected them as follower Dr. DM v. Crosson, President; C. M. Efird, Sec 1. T t> 1__ TT7; A A ? recwsry;o Jt>ruu*a ??m^niu, xxoototaot Secretary, and W. B Taylor, Gen eral Superintendent. These officers " ~ propose to make the next fair the best J . one ever held.

The Better Way The tissues of the throat are nflamed and irritated* you :ough, and there is more irritaion?more coughing. You rake i cough mixture and it eases the rritation?for a while. You take SCOTT'S EMULSION md it cures the cold. That's vhat is necessarv. It soothes the * :hroat because it reduces the rritation ; cures the cold because : drives out the inflammation; uiiids up the weakened tissues ?ecause it nourishes them back 0 their natural strength. That's ?ow Scott's Emulsion deals with 1 sore throat, a cough, a cold, r bronchitis. WE'LL SEND YO'J x A SAMPLE FREE rOTT ?
