The Lexington Dispatch j' Burned April 25th; rebuilt July ? 19,1894. t G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. ~ LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 9. 1899. . ] The Campaigners on the Hounds. 5 The publisher of the Dispatch is j ; on the chase of the "Almighty Dol- . lar," looking up delinquents in every nook and corner of the county. He finds this work anything but pleasant taking long drives with the ther- j mometer at the tale end of the nineties and the rays of "Old Sol" . beating pittilessly upon his devoted head is very trying, and more than once along the long, tiresome and lonely journey he was impressed with the fact that "Jordon was a hard road to travel," through this wilderness of woe. He was bouyed up, however, with the thought of the pleasant associations, comfortable homes and downy j couch which awaited him in the hospitable home of some kind friend, . when the sun goes to sleep behind the Western hills, and in this com* 1 forting and consoling thought he has never been disappointed. He is making the rounds with the three gentlemen who are now upon the mourner's bench anxiously awaiting the verdict of the people to put on the Senatorial toga. The first place where the campaigners arrived at was at Mr. C. R. Rish's where the speaking was advertised to take place. The exercises of the day were opened by Capt. J. F. Lyles, who gracefully presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers to an audience of about one hundred voters and a number of ladies and children. Dr. Crosson was the first candidate to appear before the people of Black Creek township and entertained the audience with his views. He was followed by Dr. W. T. Brooker, also a candidate for Senator in a well timed and instructive address. Col. Weslev Harper. tha silver toncued orator of Savannahunt branch, pre- 1 sented his claims for a seat in the upper branch of the General Assem- * bly and fold why he should be sent there to represent the farmers. After the candidates for the Senate were through speakiDg, Dr. J. "VYm. Stokes, our immediate representative in Congress, was introducted and made a ringing speech on national issues and rendered an account of * his stewardship, showing that he 1 had been faithful to his promises and watchful over the interest of his ? constituents. r Mr. Rish had prepared a splendid i baibecue dinner which was eDjoyed c by all present. The festivities of c the day were appropriately closed by f the young people "tipping the light r fantastic toe," until the cow bells a came tinkling home. The next place of the campaigners were to speak was at Gaston. At this place the largest number of j. voters greeted the candidates, there being between two and three hun- , TI7 TJ CM I*i cu picccub. juluu. ??. JUL. Lexington's gifted youDg sod, was ^ the master of ceremonies and right royally did he perform his duties to ^ the satisfaction of ail. Dr. Brooker was the first to speak at this place, and he told the people how a con- ^ siderable sum could be saved to those who had children to send to c school in the purchase of school fc books by the enactment of a law v providing for the purchase of ^ school books by the county and sold ^ to children at cost. Dr. Crosson e followed in an able address in which d he clearly outlined his policy and his ^ position on matters of public inter- c est. His speech was very effective o and well received. Colonel Wesley ^ Harsey was the last speaker and the audience was greatly amused at his e droll sayings and amusiDg anacdotes. o After the feast of reason and the flow of wit, dinner was announced ? 11 and the assembled multitude refresh- ^ ed the inner man at the well ladened h table of barbecued meats and re- r( freshments, prepared under the ^ supervision of Mr. Goodwin. a Last Saturday the campaigners 1 arrived at the progressive and growiDg little city on the western banks I ^ ol tne uongaree, Known as lorooK- e land. Such has been the industry v, and prosperity of this thriving little a city that it has won the envy and E excited the jealousy of Columbia, I ? who, according to one of her alder- j d men and the Columbia State, want j to smother the enterprise of Brook- j land. The merchants and denizens j ^ of this place were so busy that it | ]? was hard to get a crowd together to j ii hear the speakers and it was not ' d until three o'clock in the afternoon a f b sufficient number cf persons assem- j( bled for the speaking to commence, b The people at this place seemed to b be lukewarm concerning the result ^ of the Senatorial race and are conse- j f. quently not taking much stock in it. I 1 Capt. Bowersox, presided over the j meeting and introduced the speakers. ! j Dr. Crosson was the lirst speaker, j j Dr. Brooker was next and Colonel ; s Harsey the third and last. I 0 This meeting ended the last of the series of meetings for last week, and that night we returned home. The meetings for this week will MmMm if . ... >e at Irmo today, Chapin tomorrow | ?nd the campaign will end here on j Saturday and ever} body should give j hem a hearty welcome. Judge Buchanan's Address The address of Judge 0. W. ! 3uchanan in the court house last j Sunday morning befere Dixie Lodge, { *o. 52, LOO F, and a large re- j ined and intelligent audience, was j ndeed a rare literary treat of en : musual and attractive merit. The address was preceded by the eading of the Sciipiures, followed J ay prayer and the singing of the ode. ! The address was elegant in mat- J ;er and delivered with spirit and ani- j nation. It was replete with thought , md ideas and was full of worldly j wisdom. Throughout the whole ad j Hress there was a wholesome regard j ror sacred things which were treated j ivith that reverence and respect so j nnusual in these days. Judge Buch- J man is a most interesting talker in j public at all times and as a declaimer ne has few equals. Unaffected and natural his clear, rich voice was at its j best and every word was heard all | ever the court room. The address j was of a sensible length for the oc- ! casion and took up some thirty-five minutes in its delivery. At its termination every one regretted he could not hear him longer. It was so captivating, so novel and so original that the time taken seemed but a few moments. It was of a most bappy length. His magnetic delivery held the undivided attention of a most intelligent audience. The 3peaker is a man of unusual oratorical powers being graceful in gesture md charming in diction. He began by saying some words cf courtesy to his audience and passing up to the merits of his theme? 3uty of Odd Fellows and their reation to society?he entered at once :>n bis subject, lie quoted sir William Hamilton's expression that 'there is nothing great in man but nind." From this he deduced from ;he superiority of man the great responsibility for his acts and the proper use of his opportunities. With this great superiority comes ;he great duty of responsibility not inly for the exercise of his intellect done, but for a refined exercise of ;he feelings and instincts of com- non manhood and a kind and gener>us citizenship. He dwelt at length jpon the benefits mankind most desire from an institution which so lelps and develops a proper, just and jroadened and chritabie view of life. Che encouragement of a religious ipirit not of any particular denomi- : lation or creed, but of all creeds ecognizing the common fatherhood >f God, was discussed. The Order , lid not discriminate against any aith nor did it intermeddle in this natter at all further than to encourige the observance of common prin:iples upon which ail denominations ire founded. It gave great encourigement to the work of all churches n that it taught by wholesome les- : ons the principles inculcated in the zolden Rule. The asperities of life ! eere calmed, cooled and tempered 1 >y the lessons taught in the Lodge oom. There was a recognition of 1 he common lot of men and of the leed to moderate the sorrows and oisfortunes of suffering humanity, ill were upon a level in the Lodge < oom. The greatest and humblest onsidered it a privilege to meet their , irothers in the Lodge room and there ?as a tie that bound all good Odd bellows to each other. It was an bligation to do good and was most onorable. The good man ccnud- ] red bis obligation sacred. The Orler practiced relief to all distressed irothers, aided the widow and the rphan and buried the dead. In J onclusion he spoke to the members c f the immediate Lodge, (Dixie, No. ] 12,) and wished them and all other mothers, collectively and personally, * ach and every one of them, the benfits of a good life and the blessings f heaven. After the usual ode was sung and onors were given, the audience was ivited to join in ihe doxology which ras done with a will. The Odd E Yllows repaired to their Lodge ? oom and the audience dispersed, t Ivery one agreed a most delightful ime had been enjoyed. It will be n occasion long to be remembered. * 'he members of Dixie Lodge feel c bat their cause has been advanced i y the address and are justly proud g f their Order. Judge Buchanan xpressed himself as greatly pleased 6 rith his brothers of Dixie Lodge. 1 nd finir? hp had npvpr addrpssed a 1 lore intelligent assembly of pretty j omen and brave men than were j athered in the court house on Sun- : ! ay. _ There is more Catarrh in this secion of the country than all other j ^ iseases put together, and until the- ! 4 Lst few years was supposed to be | j icurable. For a great many years j octors pronounced it a local disease, ! 1 nd prescribed local remedies, and j ry constantly failing to cure with | j ical treatment, pronounced itincura- j j le. Science has proven catarrh to j e a constitutional disease and there- j ire requires constitutional treat * lent. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu- i a ictured by F. J. Cheney A Co., ! 'oledo, Ohio, is the only constitu- j ional cure on the market. It is i tiken internally in doses from 10 i rops to a teaspoonful. It acts j irectly on the blood and mucous j urfaces of the system. They offer ; ne hundred dollars for any case it c iils to cure. Send for circulars and r estioionials. Address. ; F. J. Cheney k Co., Toledo, 0. j Sold by Druggists, 75c.

There are ^ivc a.t^nyou into consumption almost before you are aware of it; the other is when the trouble is at last discovered and fully realized to give up hope too soon. Begin with these bronchial and throat ailments the instant they appear ; never ' 1,1 1 - ? ro m i Wall liu 10 - morrow. i uc hkui t iken now may save mouths of severe illness. On the other hand if the illness has already come upon you; and you find yourself weakened, wasted and discouraged, do not lose hope. There is a medicine that will certainly restore you to health and strength. " My boy was in ft very bad way when I commenced to give him Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes J. \V. Price, Esq., of Ozark, Monroe Co.. Ohio, in a recent letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo. ?C. Y. " The doctors claimed he had consumption and we doctored with them until he was past walking. After using five bottles of the ' Discovery' he is now all right. It has been ten months since he stopped taking your medicine and he is still in good health. We are %-ery thankful to you for saving our sou." Hundreds of similar cases are described in one chapter of Dr. Pierce's great thousand-page illustrated book The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser which will be sent free for the bare cost of mailing, 21 one-cent stamps. It is a veritable family library in one volume;?the fruit of Dr. Pierce's life-long experience with the severest types of obstinate chronic diseases. Any one may write to him for advice; which will be sent in a plain sealed envelope, free of charge. Leesvi'le Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mrs. J. F.
