The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19. 1894 (f. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WFDNKS^AY. APRIL 4 1900. "Th9 Cxuignard brickyard cannot make enough brick to supply the demand in Columbia. Brick are be ing shipped here daily.''?Columbia S:ate. This concern is a Lexington enterprise, owned and managed by a Lexingtonian, and the brick are made of L'xington dirt, hence the cause of the great demand for them. Oar clay is peculairly adapted for brick making purposes and the day is cer tainiy not far in the distance when other yards will spring up that will manufacture a brick superior in every way aod for all purposes to the famous Philadelphia press brick. Henry A. Brunson, the Judge of Probate and Master in Equity for Orangeburg, has mysteriously disappeared and bis present whereabouts are unknown. He has beeD gone for about ten days, and by authority of instructions received from Governor McSweeney, Clerk of Court Sally has taken charge of the office and an investigation of its af fairs has begun. So far it has been developed that Mr. Brunson is short $5,000, and it is expected that as the investigation proceeds other shortages will be discovered. The Boers seem not to be discour nged over their recent deafeats. They appear to be cheerful over the situation, and it is claimed ttoat President Kruger has said that he would yet have the English at his feet suing for peace. The Boer army has recenly received an addition (f 15,000 men from foreign countries who sympathise with the Boer cause. Heavy engagements are reported from the front and every inch of ground between Bloemfortein and Pretoria will be hotly contested. A delegation representing the ministers of Charleston called upon President McKinley and urged him to visit Charleston on the occa sion of the coming convention in July neifc, of the national educational association. The President assured the delegation that it would give him much pleasure to visit Charleston and mingle with her people and accepted the invitation conditionally. T i * r -n i _1 _ i xi Mr. donn m Jiicsmuaas, a orotaer of Mr. R. H. Edmunds, of Columbia, died in Chattanooga, Tenn, last week. Mr. E imuads will be pleasantly remembered by many of our readers, he having clerked for the fi m of Desportes & Edmunds, some years ago. He was the son of a Lexingtonian, his father being Dr. Edmunds, who many years ago resided near Leesville. Wanted?Some town to prove that she is ahead of Columbia in progress. ?Columbia State.

It is probable that the war tax will be materially reduced. The tax is now yielding a revenue more than sufficient to meet all demands.

Every way you can bear the vccalization of the small boy plower, with no uncertain sound Oar lumbermen are busy and thp buzz of the saw is a fit accompaniment for tbe plow boy's hallo. Mrs. Rebecca Kyzer and h-. r two sweet children are visiting the parental homa on Black Creek. The cry on Black Creek now is uot "have you seen George V but have you seen well, a>k a your g man and he will tell you who. Did you not bear a great rumbling noise last week? Wvll, one of our plow boys drew such a crooked row that he fell out of it. The school at Smi h Branch is progressing grandly, under the efficient management of Prof. James V. Smith. Nothing being done along matrimonial lines in our once active community. Since '"poor Klond.ke," has let the opportunity slip all the rest seem to be paddling their own canoe. There is a very valuable chalk mine on Mr. Jake Shumpert's place, on Black Creek. Don't see why it should not be developed. Tell the candidates not ,to bother the dear people from their plowing but content themselves singing "in the sweet by and by."

A man just in the act of lifting: a barrel of flour felt a hand laid on his shoulder. "Stop!" said the stranger, "You can't lift that." "How ?Lj?jL do you know I can't? " said the man. " Because I am J&Sftv a physician, and know gfa it's^^ impossib 1 e. *'\ eddand Hfted ^ j you so sure 1 ft?" asked^the "Because I'vebcen^^^^ doing it every day for years," said the man. There are physicians who say in good faith to those whose lungs are worn by disease " It is impossible to help yon." And yet thousands of these impossibles have been helped and healed by Dr. R. V. Pierce whose " Golden Medical Discovery-" has cured them, when the hollow cheek, the rasping cough, the burning flush, and night - sweats have all pointed to consumption. Ninety-eight out of every hundred such impossible cases can be cured says Dr. Pierce. What makes him so sure? Because he has been curing just such cases for more than thirty years. " Golden Medical Discovery " is strength to the stomach, life to the lungs, nourishment to the nerves. It makes new blood aud the new blood builds a new body?a fit temple of health. There is nothing just as good as "Golden Medical Discovery," so let no one deceive you into accepting a substitute. "I beg to slate that I have used three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery since my correspondence with you and find great improvement in my case." writes Mr. A. F. Novotny. of New York. N. Y.. (Box 1437). " I feel that I am in need of no more medical assistance. When I started to take your medicine I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and every body cautioned and warned me concerning it. I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no apoetite whatever. Now my* condition is changed entirely. I do not cough at all. have gained eight pounds in weight, have recovered my healthy color, and my appetite is enormous. I can recommend your medicine, as it is a sure cure, 110 humbug, as are most other patent medicines." Dr. Pierce's reliefs cure biliousness. Brookland News. To the Editor of the Dispatch: TLe citizens of our town have been making an effort for some time to secure a suitable location for a ceme tery, at last, Messrs. Shuler and Hagood have succeeded io suppljinsr the citizens with this long needed location. They have selected an ideal spot in the western suburbs of Brookland, the undergrowth haviDg already been removed and the ground is now ready to be enclosed. Mr. Hagood will soon begin to lay it off in squares and beautify the grounds with walks, shade trees, etc. Already lots have been sold and others spoken for. At the home of Mrs. William W. Geiger a bos party was given la:-1 week, the proceeds going to the completion of the Methodiit church. n.iifo o Lrna ?r.irtrrin t occasion and a neat little sum cf money was raised. Messrs. Sbuler, Witt k Shall, the owners of Mirror Lake, have contracted with Mr. Bell for the boring of a flowing well at the Lake. This will improve that section cf the town very much and the cool stream of fresh water flowing constantly into the Like will make the many little fish rt joice during the warm, summer days. The Bapi.Lt church is nearing completion, this building will be one of the most beautiful church struc tures in the cour ty. Contractor Saulisbury is to be congratulated for the skillful and j-rtistic manner in which he has done his work. M H. Witt has contracted for an additional two feet in the story of the second story of his store building on State street. This change will edd very much to the looks and comforts of the hall and the many members of the different orders here appreciate this timely and thoughtful r;ct of Mr. Witt. E W. Shull is having a large two 4ory barn and ware house constructed near his store. If rum crs be tru?, the Street Car Campmy will soon extend their line across the river and out to Mirror Lake. This will be a most delightful ride for Columbians and a very agreeable one for Brookland citizens. The only difficulty that has in anyway interfered with this enterprise is the crossing of the Congaree, but recently, the owners of the bridge stated to one of the leading citizens in our town that the company need not stand back on this, for the piers on the north side of the bridge were sufficiently large to hold the tract and no objections would be made on their side should the company wish to cross after satisfactory arrangements. W. A. Mx)Jy and J. C. K'rby each have purchased thsm a very choice lot near the Presbyterian church and will soon begin the erection of their beautiful homes now being planned. Hamp Caughman is able to be out again after few days' sickness. The many friends of A. D. Shull will be glad to know that he is improving after a long and severe attack of kidney trouble. W. J.

Mrs. John Doyle and children will move to Darlington this week, where ehe will join her husbaud, who left last week preparatory to her departure.

Dois from Sandy Run. To the Elitor of the D.spatch: We are having very pleasant weather. Farmers are v ry busy planting corn in this section. The small grain that didn't freeze is looking fine. From the looks of the fruit treas there will be plenty of fruit this year. Mr. Thomas Crider is erecting a fine dwelling at his hem* near the State road. Communion services will be held at Sandy Run Lutharan church on Easter Sunday. Miss Kattie Kiigler has returned home from Sand Mountain, where she taught a successful school during last winter. Mis3AJaR)of is visitiug her sisters, Mrs. John Corley and Mrs. L F. Roof. Mis3 Emmie Girdner, the charruiog daughter of Mr. Ned Gardner, is visiting her aunt, Miss Callie Gates. Mr. David Gsiger, a student of the Presbyterian High school of Co bia, paid his parents a flying visit last Sunday. Peter. Every woman loves to think of the time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle in her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called Hitter's friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sickness and the loss of the girlish figure.

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED BY Inl-incf An'c Co hcortOHilIa UUiiiiDtuii ^ ajui ^apai liiu QUART BOTTLES. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blcod Food and Nerve Energizer, Is the greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the " worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinkingspells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nourished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faithful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from ~ ... .... . . . i BLUUU lAirxi witn powerlul alteratives, sucn as mercury, arsenic ana otner minera* agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the specific germs of the disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Nothing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks virulently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring decay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION! Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and exhaustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. Tne old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discovered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. BLOOD POISOX CUBED BY JO|IX8TOX'S 8AB81PAHILLA. Byron, Mich., October 31. 1894. Williams. Davis, Brocks & Co..
