The small pox epidemic has assumed such a serious and alarmiDg nature that it seems to us that wisdom and a due regard for the health of our people would suggest to our town authorities the necessity for j using all precautionary measures and j the enforcement of strict quarantine laws to prevent the introduction of this loathsome disease from infected places. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.1' Try Allen's Foot-Ease, A powder to be shaken into the , shoes. At this season your feet feel. ; swollen, nervous and hot, and get tired easily.

Y.. i Graduation Speeches. The senior class of Newberry College has completed its course and is 1 preparing for commencement. The young men from this county have ; chosen the following subjects for their graduating addresses: i C. H. Drafts?Duties of Citizenship. J. H. Frick?The American Soldier. D. A. Kleekley?The Tyranny of j Custom. i Entered Into Rest. Mr. Jefferson Hook, resided at Kocky Well, near the White church, and who has been in feeble health for sometime, died Sunday evening, in the 87th year of his age. Mr. Hook was a good citizen, a kind neighbor a thoughtful friend. He attended strictly to his own business and as a consequence enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him. ?? * ? ?? Were Very Popular. Miss Estelle Griffith and Miss Lucia Oswald, two of Lexington's most charming and graceful young ladies, were the Sponsor and Maid of Honor respectively for Camp J. M. Steedman, at the reunion in Charleston last month. The pressure of war news lest week caused us to overlook their names in our report of the trip. They both were recipients of high praise for their handsome appearance, tasteful dress and graceful manners and were quite popular an "the City by the Sea." Frcperty Improved. The unsightly and dilapidated fence around the property of the Methodist parsonage property has been replaced by a neat picket fence. This matter was brought before the .brethren of the four churches comprising the Lexington Circuit at the first of the year, and as a consequence Mr. John J. Fox gave the necessary timber, Mr. Robert A. Senn j -did the hauling and the Gross j Brothers sawed and dressed the lumber. The pastor. Rev. W. M. HarI den, invited some members from each j of the four churches to meet him, ! and last Friday they promptly and , cheerfully responded and the fence j was soon built. The people of Lexington Circuit j know how to take csre of their pastor and are ever thoughtful for the comfort and convenience of himself and family. They deserve special credit for the interest they are manifesting' this year. * ) PENCIL A\0 SCISSORS. Wayside Notes Gathered Here and There by a Dispatch Man. Send us the news.

I took a great deal of strong medicine which did not do me any good and I was at last obliged to give up. I was in a sort of stupor some of the time. Scrofula sores broke out and I could get nothing to do me any good. My daughter told me of a woman who was afflicted as I was and who found relief in Hood's Sarsaparilla. I concluded I to try this medicine. At that time 1 was | in a terrible condition with sores on my head and body. The first few doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla seemed to give me relief, and in a short time the sores began to heal. My appetite improved and I felt like a new man. Iam now in better health than for 10 years." JS. M. Grier, Winnsboro, Fairfield Co., Little River, South Carolina. Remember Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best?In fact the One True Blood Purifier.

J. E. Kaufmann. Lexington Couucil of the Royal Fraternar Union held an important meeting, in the town hall Monday. Brother John A. Wagener, Jr, State canvasser, was present and instructed the members in ritual work. Just to contradict our statement made last week that it was time to put away the overcoat and briDg out the linen duster, the weather turned real cold Saturday and over coats did not look out of season. Although Lexington will not be represented in the first South Carolina troops (o land upon Cuba by a compsi y. she has, nevertheless, sent about thirty of her brave and patriotic young sons to the front to uphold her honor. The Columbia Record is authority for the statement that the fellows who borrow their neighbor's papers, instead of subscribing themselves, are to be conscripted into a regiment ani put into the front rank of battle. Now is the time to subscribe. Part of the article of Col. D. J. Kootts is in type, but it is impossible for it to appear this week, so it has been laid aside for another time. It is a well written and interesting article and contains an assertion which will excite much adverse criti cism and will be surprise to manypeople. "We learn that Swansea was visited last Friday by a terrific wind storm, which did considerable damage to property. Sband & Roof's saw mill was blown down, a dwelling of Rast & Bro., was unroofed, the Methodist church sustained damages and fencing and trees were prostrated. No cjsualities to life and limb was report* d. Report has it that there are manycases of small pox in Columbia, which is probably greatly exagerated. Report also has it that S. N.

This report is not at all exagerated as an order placed with him will demonstrate ! that his groceries are not only the best and purest, but the cheapest as well.

A terrific bail storm passed over the scope of country north of this place Friday afternoon, doing great damage to fruit and crops. In the Providence section, particularly on the planlation of Mr. J. M. Caughman, cotton and corn were so greatly damaged that in many places they will have to be ploughed up and replanted. In the Midway school house section fruit was beaten from the trees in great quantities and damage was done to crops. Saturday was cold and high winds prevailed throughout the entire day.

Every day strengthens the belief of eminent physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns' Iron Bitters. The uian/remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy arc sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. ? Gaston Chronicles.

The recent cold damaged corn, cotton, fruits and vegetables. Gaston is on a boom?war boom? (bomb). Several new buildings are going up. One by our popular physiciaD, J. G. Williams, and another by cur obliging and progressive me:c'..ant, Mr. D. B. Sphaler. Magistrate W. A. Goodwin is doing a good business at the old stand of Lncie utto ljoreDz. There is one now who has no desire to visit the town as in days *of yore. Farming interest has been going on very rapidly, notwithstanding the war scare. Farmers are about through planting corn and some have given the first crop a plowing. Some are through planting cotton. The war buggaboo has scared some and they contemplate planting some of the cotton lands in corn and peas. The war has done this much good and may be a good thing if more would catch the same disease. There is one young man with us now whose whole attention seems to be directed in a southeastwardly direction. You see him sitting with a vacant stare; can you guess the cause? 1'ouDg friend "cease thy piniDg. Behind the clouds the sun is still shining." We hear very little talk of politics, and candidates seem to be as scarce as volunteers to the Spanish war. Billy predicts that when the war fever is over, the candidates will bob up as thick as mushrooms in a hot bed. Small grain is looking fine and. if not damaged a goodly yield will be realized. Wore has been sown then lor several years. This is what our farmers should di\ra;se their eatable f, live at home and boani at the same place. i Miss Hattie Kaigler is teaching school lure supported by? private j subscriptions.

SON. \ 1 The examination of the South Carolina voluntetrs is very rigid, so much so that it really seems to be unnecessarily harsh. We know of no other State which has had so many of her vo'uateers rejected as this State has. So far the following is the number of men received as well as the number rejected from the dif ferent companies: Accepted. Rejected. Abbeville Volunteers, 72 2(1 Catawba Rifles, 71 23 Richland Volunteers, ;V2 30 Lee Light Infantry, 53 40 Newberry Guards, 53 43 Johnston Rifles, 53 29 Butler Guards, 53 4G Greenville Guards, 52 43 j Anderson Volunteers, 55 25 a Charleston Battery, 04 108 Darlington Guards. 27 20 * Total, G05 433 ^ The Abbeville company has the distinction of being the tirst to get up the required 82 men that cou'd pass. All. other companies are still short of the quota but recruits are going in on almost every train, and it is thought by the latter part of the week the State's quota will be made up. An Interesting Table cf Distances. > These figures are well worth pasting in your hat if you arc a student of the war situation: Maml/i to Hon.<? Konc. 030 miles O - r-?

Cj,rdiz to Cape de Verde, 1,030 V miles. Cardiz to Manila, 12,780 miles. Should Spain undertake to send a J fleet from Cadiz to Manila her route would be way of Cape town. The distances by this route are as follows: Cadiz to St. Helena, 3.812 miles. St Helena to Cape Town, 1,082 miles. Cipe Town to Mauritius, 2,2M0 miks. Mauritius to Culutubo, 2,00U miles.
