The Lexington Dispatch G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JUNE 12. 1901. FALSE ECONOMY. "We seriously question the wisdom of the court officials in adjourning court as early as they did without disposing or the work before it. Viewed from an economical standpoint, it was very unwise. The jurors had been summoned to appear and they bad done so, hence the largest item in the expense of holding court?the milage?bad already beeB incurred and thete men left home prepared to remain away for two or three days, so that no hardship would not have been placed upon them had the court completed the business before it. The witnesses had done the same thing and it would have not been a hardship to keep them at court until they had been used as witnesses. This work will have to be done, the prisoners will have to be tried, the witnesses will have to be called away from their homes again and the same expenses will fall upon the county in the end, so that it might as well have been transacted at first as at the last. The effect will probably be that the business of the September term of court will be conje3ted and the crim inal side of the court will trespass upon the time of the civil side, so that the business of the later will have to give way to that of th9 former, much to the injury and annoyance and inconvenience of litigants. There is already a hue and crv over the State about the overworked judges and clogged dockets and demands made upon the Legislature for the creation of more judges in order that the c^landars of the court can be cleared of business, and yet we find court adjournirg with business before it that in justice and equity should have been disposed of. Last week Judge Gage issued an order appointing "W. D. MeltoD, E-=q. receiver of the Southbound railroad, who qualified by filiDg a bond of $25,000 with the clerk of court for Richland county. Mr. W. H. Lyles, attorney for the railroad went to Cheraw and appeared before Chief Justice Mclver, in chambers askiDg for a stay of proceedings which was granted and yesterday was fixed for the hearing. Chief Justice Mclver granted the motion for a stay of proceedings on condition that the lailroad company enter into bond in the penal sum of fifteen thousand dollars "for the payment of such amount as may be necessary to satisfy in full the judgment so recovered by said George W. Watts when it shall be so ordered in this case." As the attorneys for Watts are only seeking to force the payment of the judgment of the court, we presume that tLis ruiiDg will be satisfactory to them These proceedings were inst tried by the attorneys one Watts, a former guard at the penitentiary, who one night while returning to quarters fell into a cut on LiDcoin street, to enforce a judgment of the circuit court against the railroad, which the road ha9 refused to pay. A number of prominent citizens of Charleston woke up the other morning to fiod themselves in an unpleas * 3*1 i iv. 1?i. T* ant QUemms, to any iuo jaov u: iv. jlv is alleged that they, together with a number of citizens, when thirsty and in need of a little stimulants, visit the blind tigers, which are said to abound in that city. Everyv thing rocked along according to Hoyle until recently when a member of the State constabulary force made their appearance and quietly went to work and took down the names of those who purchased a drink, and now they have been summoned to ap pear before the grand jury to give testimony in a certain cau3e now pending between the State of South Carolina and , charged with violating the dispensary law. There is weeping aod wailing in the camp of the "wine bibbers," and they are i somewhat at a loss to know what to do. If they visit blind tigers they are fearful that they will have to testify against them and if they stay away they become dry and thirsty and they do not know which end of the "horn" to seize upon. Moral?If you must drink and nothing else will do but to fill your stomach full of the stuff, obey the law, and purchase your whiskey at the dispensaries. Mr. Josiah Doar, Editor of the Georgetown Times, is a candidate for Treasurer of that county to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the incumbent. The Dispatch hopes that Brother Doar will be successful in his race. No better nor more competent man can be selected for this office than Mr. Doar. The latest reports from the bedside of Mrs. McKinley indicate that she has rallied and is steadily regaining health and strength. The columns of our exchanges have been filled to over flowing for the past several weeks with matter relative to the Tillman and McLaurin controversy. The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the lower court in the cate of the State vs. Juhn Brownfield, convicted of murder and f-entenced to be hinged. It will doubtless be remembered that Brownfield ' i ??i _ L , 4., ^ 18 me negro oaruer ;u weuxgcunu, tbis State, who killed the deputy sheriff, who served a deliLquent tax notice on him. This murder came near precipitating a race riot, during the excitement editor Josiah Doar, of the Timee, was accidentally shot from the effects of which he has not yet fully recovered. Governor McSweeney had to send several companies of malitia to Georgetown to quiet the riot. Brownfield will bo resentenced when court meets, but that may be sometime in the spring as court has just adjourned. President McKinley stops the dis cussion of a third term by declaring that be would Dot accept a nominaif lanrlcro^ him TTp fiftYP! blVU 11 IVU\4V* VVI UAUW* - J "My only ambition is to serve throughout my second term to the acceptance of my countrymen, whose generous confidence I so deeply ap predate, and theD, with them, do my duty in the ranks of private citizenship." He regrets that a suggestion of a third term has been made. This declaration of the President is net a surprise to his friends. The Grand Jury of Anderson county has recently returned true bills against several prominent farmers of that county charged with conspiracy, false imprisonment and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. These cases arises from an alleged violation and abuse of the contract system. Judge Benet, it will be remembered, had the contract system, as practiced in Anderson county, investigated by the grand jury and the indictment of several farmers resulted. The Methodist of the State, especially those who take an interest in the educational institutions of the denomination, are rejoicing over the announcement that Dr. Carlisle, the venerable and beloved President of Wcfford College, has been prevailed upon to remain at the head of this well known college. Dr. Carlisle was 7G years of age last month. He has been President of Wcfford college for the past twenty-six years and has made a most able and model officer. Governor Saoford of Alabama, who has been lingering at death's door, for sometime, is said to be rapidly sinking and the announcement of his d. ath is momentarily expected. Since the above was put in type the morning papers announce his death. iIhcuba^I ji where it is hot ail the year round ji f Scott's Emulsionl J? sellsbetter than any where else 1 || in the world.

But it is not more injurious than the hasty swallowing of half masticated food washed down by gulps of ice water 111 summer or cups 6 of hot coffee in winter. Hasty eating is the foe of health. Sooner or later it //// ^ must result in in- /%/''(?}?zn digestion or some '////Ln. other form of stom- "/ ach disease. / For the cure of B P the diseases of the W/ L stomach and allied Oty, fy organs of digestion ^j\ effective as Doctor of Tanner.^ilnier Co., always recommend Dr. 1 Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, 'Favorite ' Pleasant Pellets,' for they cured me wheu doctors and other medicines failed. For fifteen years I suffered untold misery. When I commenced talcing Dr. Pierce's medicines, I had given up all hope of ever getting well. I could not lie down to sleep, and everything I ate would almost cramp me to death. Was very nervous and coula hardly walk across the room. I only weighed ninety pounds when I commenced taking these medicines six years ago; I now weigh one hundred and forty pounds, and am having better health than ever before. My friends all say they can hardly believe that I am the same person after being sick so long, I have changed to be robust and rosy cheeked. I have taken fifteen bottles of the ' Discovery' fifteen of the ' Prescription' and fifteen of the : Pellets.' n Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only, or if cloth binding is desired send 31 stamps.
