Au^.. 5. 1901. fi To the Editor of the Dispatch: p As a young hopeful in scientific j ei directions it became my pleasant duty si to travel from Chicago to this famous p, laboratory, justly famed since the ir days of Louis Agassiz for the great n| men who have labored here, and the Sj zeal with which they have inspired tl young investigators. It was my ic privilege to visit maDy places of in- p< terest but the major portion of my , e1 time was devoted to historic BostoD, ; b; the city of stately elms and the home 1 of art, culture and genius. With due ui apologies, I send these hasty obser- rt vations on things Northern, historic 1! and traditional. j fe Very soon I made the usual faith- | ef ful pilgrimage to the field of the bat- j A tie of Lexington. Save for the heat | tl it was a glorious day in every respect, i iz (The thermometer was bobbing up ! a around 9S degrees in the shade.) w Taking one of Boston's splendid suburban cars, we were soon crossing ti the Charles and speeding slong his lc silvery banks, in sight of the very ti spot where Paul Revere stood and n watched for the signal to swing from 3t the tower of the Old North church n over in Boston. For several miles I ^ the track lay along the very read over j g which he sped on the mission fraught lc with so great import for the young tl nation then being born. Old fash- a ioned, study and quaint buildings j n were pointed out as a legacy from that j tl distant past. Imagine our interest j ic when passing one of these to fce J A told that here Samuel Adams was | a roused by the midnight rider j u and that yonder slabs are tablets j g erected in memory of those pa- j I triots who shed their blood as j b 1 a willing sacrifice for the liberties , ^ we now enjoy. As did the British, i C( we hastened on to Concord, a small 1 i | town on a river of the same name, g (The reader will pardon if I thread j e my story on the historic account.) j 0 Here the patriots had collected the j j stores which Gage was anxious to de- : stroy. A rude bridge crosses the i stream where a few farmers, roused I hv thfl brave messenger, had assem- I ~~ J " o bled. As tbe Biitish advanced Pitcairn rode out with the order?"Disperse, ye Rebels-!!" The story, of j i course, is familiar to every school j 8 i boy. A splendid stature by the | ? gifted French, tells the pilgrim of , that glorious day and deed. Caivedin 1 bronze, the figure of a minute man, ; ^ flintlock in hand, fearlessly gazes in | a the direction of tbe advancing Red- j ^ coats. On the front of the granite base are the lines: | ^ "Here the embattled farmers stood j And fired the shot heard round the i ^ world." The battlefield is quietly beautiful. I g The business portion of the town has j i! ' migrated eastward Stately elms, | I thick spruces, graceful white pines v shelter the scene from the garist eye a of day and cast 4(a dim religious B , light" upon the epoch so sacked to t our hearts. | c r It was impossible to leave Concord j L without visiting Sleepy Hollow, for c i I 1 M 'W. j \ if yxeso maiiv str 0j Solicits a Sh i here lie the ashes of Emerson, Hawborne, Thoreau and Louisa M. Al:ott. A rugged stone, with simply j lis name carved in bronze, marks the : esting place of the great Essayist. 'Hawthorne," cut on a plain slab and inclosed by a rude fence has failed I o conceal the identity of him who leeps below, for the shrubs all strip>ed of their leaves plainly tell of he many pilgrimages of fond adnirorR anxious to brine' awav some i angible reminder of American's 1 jreatest novelist. Plainly lettered : hafts show us the last resting place f the famous naturalist and near 1 iim sleeps the woman whose inimit- 1 ble books have brightened and in- ' pired cur happy childhood's days. ' )ne is impressed with the simplicity 1 f it all. They are altogether incon- , picious and would easily escape your ] otice. I hunted Hawthorne's grave \ wo hours and wa6 all the time within radius of 60 yards of the place. < Ireatness needs no tall monuments. | ' Now we follow the British back to iexingion. (Just the thoughts of tandiDg on this soil will thrill with elight any son of the "Empire ounty of South Carolina.) The attlefield is now kept as a kind of < ark, called "Commons" throughout ae northeast. A huge boulder that grved to protect a number of Amer :an soldiers is still standing just as i was when it rendered such service > our cause. Across the commons a ill shaft, now overgrown with gracell Boston ivy, tells where the princial fighting was done. At the northrn end a fountain stands. It consts of a huge granite base suporting the figure of a soldier done i broDze and of heroic size, in a inche at the base bubbles up cool, parkling water, symbolizing, I fancy, le free and abundant tide of Amer;an wealth, independence and proserity as having its source in the rents that took place on that small attlefield. The return trip to Boston was for c s far more pleasant that for those ^ ^treating British on that memorable 3;h of April. Uneven ground, stone mces, great boulders and dense for3ts, all still represented, offered the * mericans ample cover from which a ley poured that deadly and demoral- 1 ;iDg fire. Here and there, however, ^ marble slab tells in simple words ^ here a brave soldier fell. Once more in Boston, and as a fit- * t ng crown to a day filled with hal>wed association and memories, we ^ jrned toward Mount Auburn?the lost beautiful cemetery in the world. r ly friend and guide observed that 0 lost of us want to go to heaven ^ rhen we die, but Bostonians want to c o to Mount Auburn. Truly it is a ively place and one is tempted to sink that they are not so very wroDg fter all. Within that sacred soil lies ^ lore of genius, wealth and culture aan in any similar plot in Amer:a. Lowell, Longfellow, Holmes, ' .gassiz and others equally famous ^ re sleeping there.

It is very seldom that I have any- j thinf* to eay in newspapers but I deem it quite necessary to say a few words in favor of Lexington's most gifted young son, Hon. A. Frank Lever.

If fie is elected to | CoDgre88, will not that be an honor j to Lexington count}? will not that be ! an honor to the Dutch Fork? will it ' oot be an honor to every man tbat i [lasts his ballot in this election? will j pou cut him down, politically, in his | pouth when he promises to shed aonor and luster for Lexington lounty ?

Who knows but what v Lexington county has a man that j f rill shed as much honor on his | "S ;ountry as John C. Calhoua or j s Daniel Webster, if the people will : s inly give him a chance. There can ; a >e no opposition to Mr. Lever on o .ccount of his record or ability for s to man in JLexington county win ten j u rou that Lexington has an abler j h roung man than Mr. Lever. I ven- j h ure to say, he is better fitted for j degress than a great many that are c tow there, fifty years old and even ii lder. Lexington county now has ri he opportunity of electing a Cong- p essman and honoring one of the ^ uainiest young men that she has a >roduced for a number of years, and o ?ho, if sent to Congress, will make ^ jexington county's name famous a nth his own.

Colleton's Candidate. t Colleton Press and Standard: The first of the meetings ordered j f oy the State Democratic executive ; ? i c committee for the Seventh CoDgres- j fional District took place at Sumter ' Dn yesterday. There are qiyte a ^ arge number of candidates in the j. field and the result will be awaited : j with much interest. ! Colleton is fortunate in having but j 4l one candidate, most of the other | I v oounties having two. Thia gives ! ^ Major Howell an advantage in the contest which will likely count for ! ^ much in the result. He will receive, j is he deserves, the hearty and active j 3upport of the Democratic voters of this County and will likewise poll a eery heavy vote in Dorchester and other counties. His past services to I the Democratic party, and the sacriSc63 which he has made,. entitle him to a large measure of favor in this contest.

But the orvice which he rendered ehowed hat the white oeoDle of the County ?r ?r " I ad made do mistake in selecting im to fill so important a position. In 1882 Major Howell, with other itizeDs of the County, was indicted 3 the United States Court and caried to Charleston for trial before a artisan Judge and a packed jury. Fho can ever forget those troublous cd excitiDg timet! The recollection f all that was suffered and endured i with us still. The days of suspense ud trial, while the result huDg embliDg in the balance, made the eart grow eick. But the end was nally reached and the last hope of 3e alien and the carpet bagger was ashed to the ground. In 1882 Major Howell was elected 3 the State Senate and for eight ears he served our people faithfully rirt tffiniontli? in fViof. imnnrfanf ffice. He was eleeted a member of tie Constitutional Convention of 1895 nd rendered valuable service in that istinguished body. Since bis reirement from the Constitutional Conention be has not been a candidate 3r any office until now. What the esult of this contest is going to be re cannot say, but we hope and beeve that he will win. We do not utend to disparage the claims of any ne of his competitors, but we feel no eeitation in saying that there is no andidate in the field more deserving f the office, nor is there any who rould render more efficient and faithul service. In conclusion, we call upon our leople to go out to the polls on elecion day and vote for him as one man, bus testifying our appreciation of lis past service and our good will for , man who has spent his life among is and has shown himself worthy of onfidence and support.

The odd circumstance of a widow DeiDg reiusea a marriage license oecauee she was too young to wed is reported from Cincinnati. The law in Ohio fixes the age of consent at 17 years. The widow, who came from Kentucky, had been married there at 16, and her husband had died within a few weeks. When John Koch came along and soothed her lacerated heart and persuaded her that another husband would be the best thing under the circumstances, she was still a little short of 17, and the clerk in Ohio refused the license. However, the pair crossed the river into Kentucky, where the bride-to-be wasn't too young and they were married. There is No Family Medicine so favorably known as Pain Killer.
