Organized for the Campaign.
The Lewiedale Democratic Club

the election of the following officers:

hart, Vice President; "W. H. Donley, i
Treasurer; P. H. Craps, Secretary;
Dr. L. A. Griffith, member of the
County Democratic Executive Com- j
mittee.
Should Act Promptly.
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'

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been replaced by a neat picket fence.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.

A Skin Disease
In a Terrible Condition with
Scrofula Sores
Took Hood's Sarssparilla and fs
Better than for 10 Years.
"I had a skin disease which was very
troublesome. 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,

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

church sustained damages and fencing
and trees were prostrated. No

Report has it that there are manycases
of small pox in Columbia,
which is probably greatly exagerated.
Report also has it that S. N.

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.

Hail Storm.
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.

Gaston, S. C , May 10,1898.
An Old Idea.
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.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
News is plentiful?war news.
Spring is here and summer should
be near, but blankets and fire are
still very comfortable. 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,

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

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

Mr. Editor, do you know what
has become of "Klondike ? Miylo
he is still diuL'ing gold, or maybe he's j
got enough and some to spare, or
maybe he's like Billy, been casting
about for a safe retreat from the
Spaniards and don't want his whereabouts
made known, or maybe he's
looking around for a better half; or ^
maybe he's done equipped and on

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-?
Manila to San Francisco, G,520 C
milt s
Hong Kong to Hawaii, 4,800 miles.
Hawaii to San Francisco, 2,080
miles.
Yokohoma to San Francisco, 4,GOO
miles.
S n Francisco to New York, via
Cape Horn, 13,010 miles.
Liverpool to New York, 3,017
miles.
New York to Cadiz, 3,120 miles.
New York to Havana, 1,215 miles. _
Key We3t. to Havana, 00 miles.
Key West to Porto Rico, 1.040.
Cape de Verde to Porto Rico, 2,370
miles.
Hampton Roads to Porto Rico,
1,200 miles. I
Cudiz to Canary Islands, 780 miles. I
Cdnary Islands to Cape Verde,
850 miles.
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.
Coluiubo t) Singapore, l.obU miles, v
Singapore to Manila, 1,1'ki miles.
If Spain was allowed to seed her
fled through the Mediterranean, the
lied Sea, the Suez Canal and the
Arab'.ca Sea the distance to Manila
would be lessened about 3,500 v
miles.
