' For constiiu tionaI convention, "J\ o." Do you want to disfranchise about 10,000, white men, whose only sin is that they are so unfortunate as to be unletted, or so poor as to own no \-property? If so, vole "yes" for the constitutional convention. :jh . ; Nearly all the municipal authorities of the towns aDd cities of the i State are now co operating with the State authorities in the inforceinenfc of the Dispensary law which was recently declared to be constitution by the Supreme Court. E. ? !. Brayion has officially announced his withdrawal from the Itepubiican race for Congress from this district. This narrows the fight down to Dr. Stokes, the Democratic nominee, and Col. Johnson, the Republican. The columns of nearly all our exchanges are crowded with advertisements foreclosing mortgages. When will our people learn that it is an easy matter to get in debt, but awfully hard to get out? There should be a law forbidding the mortgaging of one's homestead. We think it would be a wholesome one and be 7" beneficial to a large number of our people. Treasurer Copes, of Orangeburg, I was shot from ambush and killed H last Saturday while returning from W* a collecting tour. The object of the murder was robbery but it is stated T that they failed to secure much. SevB eral parties, included the notorious Wmonni,! Williams. are "feuspectad PijaiCkuuc* and the officers of the law are hot on 11 b would a sh the- a dvocates of the constitutional convention, if the peojde are | so incompetent as to re((aire a guardian a t a convention to vote for them? A "Wonderfal Ccnqusror: Xo disease is more common among ~ the people than scrofula. Handed down from generation to generation, k it is found in nearly every family, in B some form. It may make its appear anee in dreadful running sores, in swellings in the neck or goitre, or in ^ eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane it may be known as catarrh, or developing m the lungs it ra,ay be, and often is, the prime cause of consumption. In whatever form scrofula may manifest itself. Hood's Sarsaparilla k/ is its inveterate foe and conqueror. This medicine has such powerful alterative and vitalizing effects upon the blood that every trace of impurity is expelled, and the blood is made h rich, pure and healthy. 51. f- STctss Gathered by the Wayside. We notice that the corn crop | throughout the county in which we ! ^ traveled was above the average. The |.s cotton fields on some farms were V white for want of picking. The ? people generally were in good spirits j over the crop outlook, and were hope- j fui of better and more prosperous ! times ahead. They were paying j i taxes promptly. Monday we enjoyed an elegant i * 1 "i--_.it ?:t_ i dinner, at tne pieasaiu auu auspua- j ble home of Col. D. T. Barr. Col. i Barr is one of nature's gentlemen, | filled to overflowing with pluck, en- | ergy, vim and enterprise" and keeps ! things hustling around him. He is one of Lexington's noble sons, genial kind hearted and true. He is surrounded by peace and plenty and with an open heart and a generous hand lie dispenses blessings upon those with whom we comes in contact. Tuesday we shared the kind treat- : ment of our friend, Thomas J. Drafts ; a better man than whom never trod the earth, he is a jovial and social j fellow and one of our most successful farmers. Monday and Tuesday nights we i w spent beneath the roof of Capt. D. J. i Griffith, who,- is undoubtedly the i most popular and efficient county ! officer his hospitality, as a friend J and citizen is unlimited and I unbounded. . "Wednesday, we took dinner with i v that clever and successful merchant j and .farmer, Mr. Win. Westmoreland iu Chinqnepin, whose bounty was j bestowed upon us with an unstinted I hand. Wednesday night we refreshed I } tired nature with soothing and refreshing slumbers beneath the hos* pitable roof of Mr. Carson Abies, one o: the widest and best known citi- j zens in that section of the count}', j Mr. Abies is a thorough business j man and made one of the ablest ! County Commissioners Lexington I ever had. Thursday we partook of a substan- i tial and hearty dinner at Mr. Curtis i Itish on Black creek. The latch j string on .Mr. Bish's door is always j on the outside for his friends, and | it is always a pleasure to stop with I hitn. "Whenever night catches us in that portion of the county we always strike a bee line in a gallop for our old true and tried friend Jobn McCartha, where a generous and hearty welcome awaits us, that night found us domiciled beneath his roof enjoying : a delicious mess of as fine a hsh as i ever swam in the waters of Black creek. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put togetner, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney <fc Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces ot the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. jg^Soid by Druggists, 75c. 52. Lick Pork Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: A < ?

Communion services were held at Emanuel's Evangelical Lutheran church on last Sunday. The sermon was preached by Lev. D. A. Sox. from Alabama. Rev. D. A. Sox and family, who had been visiting relatives and friends for a few days in this community, left Tuesday for their home in Alabama. Maj. J. H. Koon's singing school at St. David's church closed on last first Sunday, with a large crowd in attendance. Rev. Presley Price returned to his home at Mb Pleasant, N. C., last week, after spending a few days with relatives and friends. Miss Lillie Frick of Chapin, S. C., is teaching a music class at Mr. Jesse M. Roof's. Mr. J. L. Shull's new dwelling is now nearing completion. Mr. J. A. Corlev is having his dwelling nicely painted, Mr. Samuel Steele is doing the work. From outward appearance it seems that some of the passengers of i "courtship"' will shortly join "Hymen's Band.'' L. T. October 19, 1S9-1. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturalh' thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at the Jtfazaar. Many a man who votes for the constitutional convention will cast their last 1)allot if the call is not defeated. An Appeal to Congress. To the Editor of the Dispatch: At a meeting of Rightwell Alliance No. 803 Lexington county, the following were unanimously adopted: Whereas tue Government's money is the Government's power for good or evil; and to place all the money in the hand* of a few, is to grant them special privileges, and to invest them with all power, making all the world their servants; and, whereas, under the present monetary laws of the United States such special privileges are given to the money combines and corporations (to the detriment of the many) and they have so manipulated and contracted the currency until bankruptcy and ruin are upon us, and so far as we can see there is no hope for relief for us in the fature except through Congressional enactment. Therefore, resolved that we appeal to the Congress ol the United States to pass laws tor tne issuance of United States Treasury notes directly to the people at 2 per cent per annum upon reality bonds and mortgages until our circulation approximates per Capita, proportion among the States. 2d. Resolved that we have an abiding faith and confidence in our delegation to Congress and respectfully invite their at1 * ~ . 4 V. ArtO rt rv fLrvi leilUl/U IU iwyiuuuao auu ixudf tx^aii they will urge their parage as a measure of relief for the toiling millions. The disproportion in the price of cotton and fertilizers were then discussed aud S. D. B. Lever, J. W. Lake and J. A. Frick were appointed a committee who drafted the following which were unanimously adopted: Whereas the price of cotton is now so low that we cannot afford to buy commercial iertilizers at their present prices, Therefore resolved, ihit unless the prices of fertilizers are reduced in proportion to the price of cotton, we will be forced to use barnyard manures, and thus to leave the mercantile fertilizers on the bands of tile manuiaciures aau tueir aguuis, auu "c ! call npon all our brother subs , to takj action in this matter. A. 6. Feick, President, L. B. Feick. Secretary. Rightweil, October 20, 189L If yon want to increase your taxes, vote for the Si 00,000 convention.

Money scarce. Let us build ud our town. Times are unpleasantly dull. A good deed needs no applause Attend prayer service this evening. The Episcopalians have a neat chapel.

Be generous Meanness means enemies and breeds distrust. The goody good folks can tell you where tj look for all the bad news. Let us sdow Samps Pope under in November with and avalanche of votes. For Constitutional convention see that your ballot has the word ''No" on it. Now is the time to sow advertisements and the Dispatch is the best, place to do so. Rev. G. Edwin Stokes will preach at the Methodist church next Sunday morning. There nre some preachers who only appear to work at their trade one day in the week. There were thirty-one applicants for teacher's certificate before the Board last Friday. Why are not more neat cottages being erected? There will be a demand for them. Divine services at St. Stephen's next Sunday eveniug. Your presence will be welcomed. Do you want to rob your neighbor of his freedom? Then vote for a constitutional ! convention. Some foolish young people don't know the difference between a broken heart and a disordered liver. It is certainly unlucky to have thirteen at the table when there is only dinner enough for twelve people. The new fangled thingimbobs the ladies nmr iroarinc fnr onriK inst. tnn lovftlv. They are out of sight. Dr. Stoke3 should poll at least 2700 votes in this county, and he will do so if our people will do their whole duty. Some one says that liquor strengthens the voice. This is a self evident mistake; it only makes the breath strong. It is probable that the Republicans will hold a mass meeting a", this place on Saturday before the election. Navember 3d. Messrs. James E. Hendrix and Quinev E. Caughmon made temperance addresses at Temperance Hall last Friday evening. At least 10.000 white men will be disfanchise?l should a constitutional convention be called. Think of this before you vote. Gov. Tillman has offered a reward of S150 for the arrest of the murders of M. C. Kirkland, which occurred in this county Sept. 9. The buildiDg lots advertised by Mrs, P. L. Herman will be 6old cheap and on liberal terms. Now is your opportunity to get a home The corn and sorghum crops in this county are the largest known for years. Beautiful syrup is offered at twenty-five cents agallon^ Look at your registration certificate and go to the precinct named thereon and vote for Dr. Stokes for Congress and the entire State Democratic ticket. Every Democratic voter in this district should go to the polls on the cth of November and vote the entire Democratic ticket, including Dr Stokes. Love is contagious, epidemic and incurable. It is the essential fertilizer upon which orange blossoms swells, buds, blooms and developes into the perfect flower. According to our observation one of the funniest things at the stores is the sweet smile a woman gives a man when she wants him to sell her something below cost. Every vote for Dr. Stokes is just that much less ground for a contest in the House. Our peodle should remember this and turn out , and vote for him on the cth of November, Mr. E. S. Hallman killed a large rattlesnake on Thursday last at the bridge near Clark's Mill. It was five feet and had eleven rattles and one burton. It was an ugly customer. If Columbia would spend just one-half as much time, energy and money on. the State Fair and her business interests as she does on polities, they would be great successes. Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Boozer, of Columbia, were in town last week. The happy young couple were the recipients warm congratulations from their numerous friends at this place. Dame rumor has it that Mr. Rube Barre, who has a mill on Lighi vood creek, has been so hard at work that he completely wore out his mill. Rube is one of the most jovial, kind heated and pleasant men in Chinquepin township, Mr. Ross Smith, one of the largest corn raisers in the county, had an old time corn shucking at his home in Black Creek. Thurs- , day. The young folks had an enjoyable time. We did not learn whieu beauty found the red ear and became queen for the evening Mr, S. W. Craps, who lives near Cedar Grove,has one of the best and latest improved outfits for grinding wheat and corn and ginning cotton as there is in the county. He does the grinding and ginning for his neighborhood. We wish him much success. Our Editor will be in the Fork next week with the names of our subscribers over there and the amount each one is due. and we trust that they will come prepared to settle up when they go to meet the Treasurer. He will be ' on a fox tramp and will not .have long to tarry at a place, so don't wait for him to hunt you up but hunt him. as he has your account 1 made out.
