The following note9 are self explanitory aDd we publish them with the hope that some of our readers can supply Mr. Brown with the information he deeires. "We trust that be and other monied men can be induced to invest largely in the lands of this county. The special section to which he has reference is specially adapted to the cultivation of rice, grain, corn, peas, potatoes, cotton and all kinds of fruits. It is one of the most healthy sections on the Extension, aboands in pine forests, black jick and other wood, with the purest drinking water, and has a never failing water supply, Congaree, Cedar and Black creeks and North Edisto liver, which can be used either for manufacturing, agricultural or stock raising purposes.

Harman, Lexington, S. C. DearSii: Governor McSweeney directs me to hand you the enclosed letter thinking that possibly you - u - _ could give the information desired as it concerns your county. Please give it your attention and oblige, Yours truly, Elbert H. Aull, Private Secretary. Boston, Mass., Dec. 16 h 1899. To His Excellency The Governor of Sjuth Carolina, Dear Sii: Will you kindly turn this letter over to the Civil Engineering department of your State, as 1 did not know there address, and thought this the surest way of reaching them. I would like to get a map, or blue print showing Lexington county, South Carolina. I want to get the location of certain lands in that county now offered for sale, and through which a railroad has been recently run. Very respectfully yours, Fred W. Bro a n. 95 Milk Street, Room 60, Boston, Mass. The Masonic fair which was recently held in Columbia, was a great z success financially. J. T. Barron, Esq., Chairman of ' the Executive Committee, in returning thanks to the patrons of the fair, says: "We desire especially to express our profound gratitude and thanks to the ladies whose untiring efforts were the crowning feature of the work, and to assuie them that, as usual, they are laboring in a cause that creates in us a lofty detire not to live for self alone; that inspires us with holy thoughts, higher aspirations and nobler deeds: that brings us from the cares here beluw to a closer commumunion with the Author of our existence; that gives to the afflicted relief; to the forsaken, a ftiend; to soriow, a ten; to misfortune, a sympathy, and to weakness strength." Admiral George Dewey reached the age ef G2 3 ears on Christmas day. Under the rule heretofore in force in the army and navy he would have been retired, but the act making him the head of the American navy contains no provision for his retirement and he will continue in active service. The report that General Logan, while on duty in the Philippines, was shot and killed by his own men because of his personal unpopularity with them, has been successfully disapproved. It has been established that he was shot by Filipino s iarp shooters, while marching to the front. Augusta has had another disasteroos fire. The lumber plant of the Perkins Manufacturing Company and the Georgia Iron "Woiks were jcompletely destroyed by fire of an unknown origin. The loss amounted to $75,000, which is partly covered by insurance. 200 men are thrown out of employment. AY. H. Townsend, E-q. has been appointed by Governor McSweeney to act as Solicitor of the Second Circuit to succeed Solicitor Sawyer, who is on the eve of sailing for the Philippines with his company. Mr Townsend has been acting as Solicitor for sometime and has given satisfaction to bench and bar. The United States government has fully decided to tend all Spanish prisoners and families in the conquered territory back to Spain at the expense of this government. This decision is iD keeping with the terms of tho treaty of peace. The remains of Gm. Lawton, who was killed in the Philipp;nes recently, are en route for his home in Sun Fane st o. Tbe Columbia State is making a desperate fiubt for Col. Win. E ioit in bis candidacy for re-election to C mgress from the First District. We have nothing to say against Col Eiiott. He is a good man, but?J. W. Barnwtll is a better one. Tbe British gi vernment is rushing more troops to S)uth Afiica and by the time that hostilities are resumed it is expected that the English will have enough soldiers to successfully cope with the Boers. Editor Doar speaks as one havirig had experience when he says: ' When a girl is entertaining a youDg man in the front parlor that's capital. But when she has to half sole bis trousers after marriage?that's labor" Mr. D. L. Moody, the well known revivalist, died the latter part of last week at his home in Erst NorthfielJ, Mass. He was considered to be a man of deep piety and as a Christian worker he had a world wide reputation. R?v. J. A. llicp, having declined a re election to the Presidency of the Columbia Female College, R v. W W. Daniels has been appointed by the Methodist Conference to fill the vacancy. The Supreme Court has assigned the following Judges to preside over the courts of this county, Ftbruaiy lei LL?, UUU^C H . v. v uub term, Judge J. C Klugl; September term, Judge D. A. Townsend. Each military company which weDt from this State to New York to participated the Dewey celebration, will receive$173 79, being its prorata share of the $7,820 59 appropriation. The men who lost their lives in Havana harbor when the Maine was blown up now sleep in Arlington cemetery in Virginia. By a majority of one Philadelphia has been chosen as the place for holdirg the next National Republicmccn antion. The contending forces in South Africa celebrated Christmas by a cessation of bloody work and keeping quiet. ciurine: me siege oi Santiago Harbor a Spanish Torpedo boat darted out under cover of darkness to launch its deadly missile against an American war vessel. If she had been struck she would have gone to the bottom. What saved her?- Was it her big 13-inch guns? !so, it was her search-light: the dazzling white beam of light that shot straight out like a sword-thrust through the darkness, revealed the approaching danger. What is it that saves thousands of men from death every day in the year when the deadly foe of disease is creeping unsuspected upon them ? It is the white light of science; the educated understanding that reveals the source of danger and indicates the exact point of attack. While the ordinary doctor gropes around, with the feeble tallow-candle light of stereotyped, conventional, routine treatment, a physician like Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, X. Y., instantly illuminates the subject with the clear day-light ray of practical knowledge: the irresistible search-light of advanced and life-sustaining science. " I was afflicted for four years," says John P. Zitigsheim. Esq.. of No. 9 Lark St.. Amsterdam, N. Y.. in an earnest letter to Dr. Pierce. " My suffering was extreme and the trouble gradually iucreaswl notwithstanding the fact that I tried many different kinds of treatment. After becoming physically incapacitated and unable to work at all*, and after much hesitation. 1 wrote you. I am very happy to state that your advice has done me great "good. You advised Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and also his ' Pleasant Pellets." 1 must here state that they have cured me. I wish to thank you most heartily for what you did for me. All suffering has vanished and I have gained about twenty-hve pouuds iu weight. I used only one botCle of ' Golden Medical Discoverv' and oue vial of the Pellets.' " Do not hesitate to write to Dr. Pierce. He will send confidential advice absolutely free.

Dr. Boozer, in conversation concerning vaccination, remarked that perhaps the best way to secure uni versal immunity from smallpox would be to induce all business houses, stores, factories, railroads and shops to require all employes to be vaccinated. Tbe Southern railway has recently issued an order forbidding its employes on the South Carolina division to use cigarettes, and in Dr. Boozer's opinion, a similar rule re * ? L * .1 1 1 quiring vaccination would oe even more logical and productive of gocd A8 a matter of fact, smallpox is often carried from one place to another in this way. A baggage master, for instance, handling trunks of all soitwhich contain all kinds of articles, might easily spread the contagion. An express messenger running ouf of Wilmington on one of the North Carolina roads recently broke out with smallpox at the other end of his road and was carried back to Wilmington in a closed car. The occurence has been too frequent to determine whether he has spread the disease. Winter before last a railroad negro cariied the smallpox from Greenville to Cbailotte.?Columbia State, December 22 ^ Stolen } From the house of Col. D. T.

To the E litor cf the Dispatch: Now, Mr. E lifor, Christmas is drawing nigh, Hogs are djing mighty hard, Aod turkeys roosting iiign. To welcome this grand event, A tale to you I'll tell, How the orange blossoms went, Be'cre the meiry wedding bell. The 17th of December, A cold and rainy day, Found many happy people To Cap Shealy's on their way. Tbey were invited there, To dine at a wedding feaBf, All things well prepared were Both for man and best. The above lines were the prelude to a most delightful day spent at th6 ATr ra n Shpalc. UULUV WA A?*4 Notwithstanding the cold wind and some rain, Mr. Marcellus Smith aDd his best girl?Miss Alia Mary Shealy?q?iit the world of single blessedness and embaikcd on the great sea of life together. Rev. Jtff Shealy gave them the above send off and Rev. M J. K}zer and Mr. Fred Shealy standing with Miss Dora Smith and Miss Maggie Shealy, witnessed the work well done. The biidal party attended services at Nizereth church, afterward returning to the home of the bride's father, where, it is needless to say, the table groaned under the great weight of goodies. Klondike may not be a good judge but he thinks he saw the most beautiful cakes that ever adorned a nuptial feast. Mr. Marcellus Smith, the bridegroom, is the son of Mr. Henry Smith, our small man on Black creek. The bride is the lovely daughter of Mr. Cap Shealy, well known both in Church and State. Many good wishes and congratulations were bestowed upon the happy couple. The good people of Oak Grove, who never fail in anything they un dertake, made the community glad with a Chiistmas tree last Saturday. By the way they are goiDg to build a new church much larger than the old one, to accommodate the large congregation that comes to worship with them. Mr. Cape Hall made himself a Christmas present in the person of Miss ftosa Gunter. They were married at the home of Mr. Robert Mi'ler, on Sunday, the 24th of this month, by Re v. M J. Kyzer. May their pathway be strewn with flowers. Soon the funeral knell of the old year will be sounding out over the land while the glad golden music of a new born century will be' making happy the human race. Steadman has all the hurry and bustle of a large city. Mr. Elitor please tell the common people what became of the metoric shower. [Like the delicious wedding cake you have been ei.joying.

Saber's safe was blown open last night at 2 o'clock and 81,000 taken out The safe handle was knocked off and powder in great quantities was put in the hole. The explosion made a loud report and was heard by several people in the town. Mr. and Mrs. G A. Swygert, who live close to the store, were awakened at the time of the explosion, but gave it no special thought, as the boys had b^en shooting fire crackers during the day and night. Mr. Swygert says he heard a noise near h's home just af er the r<port lu the store that sounded like some one bad 1 brown down a plank. He thinks this was done to attract their attention away from the store. Mr. Suber thinks tbo burglar concealed himself in his store just before he closed last night. The store doors were not broken down or damaged in the least. No damage to his stock of goods can be detected and it is probable that the burglar was satisfied with the boodle. The town is thoroughly aroused this morning and the people are organizing themselves to scour the country in pursuit of the guilty party or parties. Blood hounds have been sent for to Columbia and they are expected to arrive on the Columbia and Greenville train at 11:3J a. m. Dr. Stokes' Success To the Editor of the Dispatch: Will you kindly permit me space to say to your readers that on las! Saturday the Postmaster General signed the order which grants to South Carolina what I have been striving for more than a year past to obtain for the whole country. This order provides for the free delivery of mail along every Star Route in South Carolina. It will be understood that the Star Rmte include all mail that is carried through the country by private conveyance. There are 373 of these routes in South Carolina?quite a number of which run through vour county?so that they | touch almost every neighborhood in the State. This service will begin July It next for a term of four years. All that is nec< ssary on the part of the people living on or adj tceut to one of these mail routes, in order to secure free delivery of their mail, is to erect a box on the roadside in such position that the carrier can reach it without leaving the seat of his vehicle, and then direct the postmaster to send the mail out by such cariier. As this service is being undertaken 1 in an experimental way, and in South Carolina only, upon my suggestion and urgent recommendation, I may be pardoned for feeling some anxiety for such results in the whole State as will justify the assurances I have given here. Much is depending upon the interest shown by our people. As a first evidence of proper interest and appreciation, I hope our people will erect neat boxes?don't be content with any old waste box?and let them be ready for the first trip of the carrier under the new contracts next July.

The exercises consisted of sacred songs, declamations, recitations, distribution of presents from a heavily laden tree, all of which were so nicely rendered with clock work precission which showed that the children had been carefully trained by the Superintendent, Hon.
