LEXINGTON, S. C.,
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8 IS36.
The Carolina Spartan has changed
its make up from an eight column
folio to a six column quato. The
improvement is not discemable.
The State Supreme Court has de
cided that the poll tax and penalty
must go to the school just as if the
tax had been paid without the penalty.

(ien. Uordon is touring me oiaie i
delivering his famous lecture on the j
"Last Days of the Confederacy."
No reference, however, is being made
to the "tall and majestic Cedars of
Lebanon," and his silence about the
"scrubby Black Jacks of the Sand
Kills of South Carolina" is painful in
the extreme.
________
Utah is now a State, and another
star goes upon the flag. . The procla
mation admitting it to the sisterhood
of States- provides for the perfect
toleration of religious sentiment; that
no inhabitant of said State shall ever
be molested in person cr propeity
on account of his or her religious
worship, but that pclygimous or plural
marriages are forever prohibited.
President Cleveland has at lastsuf
fciently recovered'ron the tffecls cf
h s late duck hunt in the marshes of
North Carolina, to announce the Venezuelan.
Commission, recently authorized
by Congress to determine
the boundary line between the liepublic
of Venezula and the Biitish
possessions. The following is the
members, two of whom are Democrats,
two Republicans, and one a
mugwump:
David J. Brewer, of Kansas, Justice
of the United States Supreme
Court.
Richard H. Alvey, of Maryland,
Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia.
Andrew D. White, of New York.
Frederick R. Coudert, of New
York.
Daniel C. Gilman, of Maryland.
In The Beginning
Of a new year, when season of
close confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure '
threatens sickness. It is then as
well as at aii other times, ana with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hood's Sarsapa
rilla leads everything in the way of <
medicines; that it accomplishes t'"e
greatest cures in the world; has the
largest sale in the woild, and requires
the largest building in the
world devoted exclusively to the preparation
cf the proprietary medicine. Does
not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hood's Sarsaparilla
is the medicine for you to take? 11.

Bandoin Writings from Feeder's
Store.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Perhaps some of your readers
would like to hear something from
this vicinity.
Mr. Eugene Reeder, one of our ;
brightest and most talented youDg
men, who was lately attending the i
Palmetto Institute at Lexington, ii j
just recovering from a severe attack i
of malarial fever. Mr. Reeder is a J '
fine pensman, who, if he perseveres, 1
is almost certain to make his mark.
Mr. George Reeder is one of our ''
leading citizens, progressive, enlightened
and enterprising, still vigorous
despite the weight of the sixty years
that have grizzled his beard and :
bent his form, yet trudging stead- ;
fastlv on "without haste, without j
rest" ever busy in store or shop or on i i
the farm. A young man might well ;
envy the activity cf this veteran. As ; i
a post master, he is always obliging, i
as a store-keeper couitaous and at i
work so industrious that when night
comes he sleeps soundly if he does
not dream, like a doctor, or an editor 1
of the money that is owing to him
throughout this part of the county
most of which he will never get. 1
Mr. George Shealy, who is yet a ; :
comparatively young man, is a bus- :
tier. "With a large farm of his own, j
worked to full advantage, he has :
reached out and taken in a considerable
slice of the Mullcr land which
he also cultivates in his usual thorough
manner. Mr. Shealy has a mill ;
on the waters of Congarce creek in
i*i i _ i ji..I ,
woicn lie runs a circular saw mai , i
never grows rusty. He liauls to the i
railroad at Lexington and because i {
his woik is so good, he has many j
more orders than he can till. j i
There have been several cases of i 1
j
measles but none fatal. One young |
man went to bed and waited but the j 3
measles wouldn't come so he got up { i
and missed the pleasure of "having j
!em." j 1
Decaying animal substances some- 1
times produce phosphoretted hydro- ! f
gen gas which makes a movable lu I f
o o
minous body uncanny to the uniniti- I
ated and terrifying to the superstiti- : ^
tious. Several of these jack 0' the ?
lanterns or will o' the wisps were j
seen one night last week m the hill
i
near a grave yard causing one be- |
lated young man to hasten homeward
without very much delibera- I
tion. He thought he saw a "ghost- !
light,"
I had the pleasure of meeting my :
old friend, Rev. Joseph Riddle, last
Sunday. Time has mellowed him |
somewhat but he is still the same j
active bundle of energy of whom I :
wrote seven or eight years ago. lie j
preaches at Red Rank next 4th Sun- i
day.
Mr. Andrew Corley is a farmer of
the kind that makes farming pay.
He recently killed a Berkshire hog
two years old that weighed 415
nounds uross or about Ave times as
1' <->
much as an ordinary razor-back.
Mrs. J. A. Griffith, with her little
daughter, Anna Sarah, is spending a
few days with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George Iteeder; Mr. Griffith is
still at turpentine. The youDg cou
pie have a host of friends.
Mr. Jeremiah Shumpert renders
able assistance to his father-in-law,
Mr. George Shealy, in the saw mill.
Mr. Emanuel Shumpert has returned
to his home on Sand Mountain
after a pleasant sojourn of several
months near here during which
time he made many a friend.
Some of the finest juniper trees
are found in the swamp of Congaree
creek and some use is being made of
them. The poles for the telephone !
line from the factory to Lexington,
have been cut here and are undoubtedly
the very best for that purpose
to be found anywhere.

and cooper's ware made of if, though
dearer, is superior to imported wave.
Several persons are eow engaged in
making juniper ware for sale.
It is reported that Rev. Simon
Skumpert has the stuffed body of a
calf in his possession which is a
lusus natural of a rare kind. As 1 j
have not seen the freak I hope some j
reader of the peoples Dispatch w ill
describe it fully in these widely read
columns.
The k;poet" sends this:
Tis New Years today and there's a
turn in the lane,
We will be better boys and we'll <
t give up cur tricks:
But before the moon's old we'll be
at them again,
So steadfast our purpose is for
90 and sis.
Teacher, spell cat. Pupil, cat? T.
Yes cat, P. You want me' o <pell c it?
T. Certainly, P, can't you spell it? T.
Why of course, P (triumphantly.)
Then what are you asking me to
V O
spell it for.
Teacher (trying to teach G) Y'ou
know what your father says to his
oxen. Pupil, yes sir, gee and haw.
T, well this is G. P, all light, A B j
C D E F haw.
Tuc Col. is in aispair. His old j
lady has just come out in big sleeves
aud he fears he is about to be bereft
of the paitaer of his joys and sorrows
He says "Ef a puff o' wind gits into
them balloons on ber arms, away
she'll go kitin' up aqaong the stars." |
She's mighty pore and scrawny as it
is but thar's bone enough to ballast
ber and thar she'll stay?and what'll
I do for breakfas'?
'Coons have eaten about all the
persimmons around here. Moral, if
j-ou want persimmons go and catch
a 'coon.
She says she 'dikes to play steal
burrs" because it sounds so much like
"steal boys."
Lexington has wonderful natural
resources for the greater part un- i
developed. A write up of them |
would make interesting reading and i
a work up a fortune for many.
The rock on the land of Mr. James !
Roland, which was used in building j
part of the Saxe-Gotha factory, is j
stated by competent authority to be j
a fine building rock. It is the same I
kind that is used on the river front :
I
at Savannah. There are only two
known outcroppirgs of this rock, it
is said, one in Florida and the other
at Mr. Roland's. Here is a chance
for idle capital as there are perhaps
millions of tons of this rock here.
The ringing of the ax is heard on j
ail sides. Some cutting crod wood j
for the factory. The prices are not j
very remunerative, the timber is dis- j
appearing and the present generation :
is eating some hard earned coarse j
rations and does not even dream of !
the anathemas of future generations j
at his wastefulness. After me the i
Deluge.
Mr. Daniel Shumpert of Sand >
Mountain was over here a short time j
ago and reports all well in bis neigh- j
bcrhood. Mr. Shumpert has a large j
and interesting family and believes j
in good schools. He is therefore a j
jood citizen.
Miss 13el!e Martin, a thorough j
master of her art, is teaching school j
aear Barr's Landing.
Mr. Isaiah Spires was off on an ex- !
sedition to Newberry lately. He j
may have left his heart behind Lim. j
A parapathetic fraud claiming to j
ye a "writing teacher" was around
ast week. He was willing to take j
'rotn five dollars down to one cent j
or the same lesson. His pi ices were i
ike his penmanship uncertian. He \
vas not as rich as Croesus when he j
irrived and he had the same amount ;
of wealth when he retired from business
in this locality.
The Col. savs that if his grand ;
children get the measles he will bring \
in the wood and light wood but he
' ain't going to sleep with nary one j
of "em". He "kin smell the measles I
yit sence the war."
The family of Mr. N. P. Sliumpert
arc convalescing from measles.
Many families are leaving for the
factory. They wish to better themselves.
It seems queer to an unreasoning
man like me that the vision
of the highest bliss to a successful
mill family is that of retiring from
the mill to enjov life upon the farm.
Messrs. Tared Sox, John Griffith,
Currau Reeder and John and Raymond
Shealy enjoyed a hunt during
the holidays that was pleasant, if not
profitable.
A few turpentine bands arc still at
work but neaily ail this seasons
work is over. Mr. Isaiah Spires is
having another crop of boxes cut and
prepaiing for a busier year than ever.
It does look as if prosperity had
dawned upon the country at last.
The Cel. says you don't have to
walk yourself to death hunting something
in the sand hills for you are
sure to run up against something a
rabbit, a coon, a possum a ferocious
wild cat or even an odoriferous something
or other. There's plenty of
amusement.
Mr. Paul Busby is doing better
than usual this year. He is building
himself up and has the good wishes
of all in his struggle for a footing.
Mr. David Shumpcrt spent the
holidays with his parents. He is
rn-osnerino- down near Pond Branch.
I ? C5
H??oas oveihai lid bis grist mill on
Coney branch and is also putting in
a saw. Mr. S. is a mechanical genius
who does nearly all this work himself.
He can do almost anything
with tools.
Mr. Jarcd Sox is a genial young
gentleman who loves sport. Hunting
and fishing parties can always
count on him.
Mr. Joseph Shumpert now plants
corn and cotton where his fine vine
yard once bloomed.
The petrified was visited by a
worthy couple from this locality who
chanced to go in at different times.
The gentleman on his return was
telling how he had used his knife in
the examination when his wife exclaimed
-"What!" And you cut an
apple for me on the way home? Ah,
Ach!
Mr. Henry Itish is welcomed to the
teacher's ranks. Woe to youngster
that rouses his six foot of wrath.

home where there is no sickness, sorrow
or parting.
3. That we tender our warmest

and pray God to pour the oil of
healing into their bruised hearts.

women of our country. We will
provide for the physical comforts of
the teachers by giving them a comfortable
room in which to meet, and
a picnic dinner, such as our ladies always
provide for these occasions.
Those teachers who may find it inconvenient
to attend the meeting and

The meeting will begin promptly
at half past ten a. m. Respectfully,

Inauguration of Mr. George B.
Cromer as Pressidcnt.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
At Newberry, S. C, 011 the evening
of January 2d. 1805, George B.
Cromer, Esq , to the joy of all friends
of the college, was made President
of his Alma Mater.
The exercises were held in the
Opera House, which was filled with
earnest friends of the Institution and j
of the new President. The meeting,
which was very instructive and im
pressive, was presided over by the
Rev. S. T. Hallman of Prosperity.
Appropriate addresses were made
by Judge Y. J. Pope, of Newberry,
Rev. E. T. Horn, D. D., of Chaileston
and Rev. J. A. Sligb, who, as
Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
delivered to Mr. Cromer the charter
of the institution, and officially proc'airaed
him President of Newberry
College.
President Cromer then delivered
his inaugural. Theaddress was a profound
one, spoken without notes in
that happy manner characteristic of
the man.
Newberry College now enters upon j
a new era of her existence. With j
such a worthv, self sacrificing man |
