It will be re- t membered by maDy that just about t two months ago their splendid par- * sonage, built in 1891, was completely j t destroyed by fire, together with a j 1 considerable portion of its contents 1 1 There was no insurance, but the peo- i i pie met the condition like heroes Though the pastorate embraces four /?hnrr?hftn in leas than one week after the fire plans for rebuilding were adopted and the contract let. The work was pushed with vigor from the beginning, and last Tuesday evening c the last stroke was made. The build- I ing is a credit to the church and the b community. Recognizing the bless- s ing8 of Almighty God in its rebuild- r ing, the people thought it proper to If open the parsonage with religious e exercises. By previous arrangement ^ and invitation the following speakers were present and addressed an audience of about 300 parishoners on the ? i e H x 1 !? 8UDJ0CC loiiowmg meir uuoius; Mr. E. U. Shealy, representing the j charge. Bethel pastorate, "a united people"; Rev. James F. Deal of Cha- 11 pin, "mutual relations of pastor and n people"; Rev. S. L. Neese, St Michael's pastorate, "the Christian ^ minister, God's representative on v earth"; Rev. W. H. Greever, St. Paul'?, Columbia, '-'our relation to ^ the church, our relation to God": Rev. S. T. Hallman, D. D., editor of c the Ltftheran Visitor, "the sunshine * " and shadows of a pastor's life" It was the unanimous verdict that ? the speeches were the best of the v kind ever heard by those present. . Appropriate music was rendered by a the members of the different choirs of the pastorate. After the speeches 8 a bounteous picnic dinner was served, v such as out people are noted for. All * felt that it was a day well spent, in many respects one of the most en- a jojable ones in all our lives. After the body of parishoners had a dispersed Rev. Ballentine and family a took possession tf their new quarters, to find many things left there by kind hands for their comfort and welfare. Boundlap Bales Open te Compe- a tition. "While the American Cotton Company ie always in the market for roundlap bales, it has no prior claim on cotton baled by this process. Amy responsible cotton buyer can buy roundlap bales at the gin and handle them with profit Roundlap ginners follow the custom of the c neighborhood they serve, and* as nearly as possible comply with the ^ preferences of their patrons, buying in the seed, ginning for the seed and making cash settlement of balances, or ginning for custom, and paying be highest market price for seed. " They have separate seed hoppers for q each battery of gins, so that farmers ? who want their own seed for replant- r ing can obtain it pure. Custom ii bales can be stored or taken home or 8 sold on the spot. Held roundlap S bales are always salable at their full * ^ market value. Farmers, or local fi mefAhflntc. nr hankers who desire to Vi hold cottoD, can carry it in roundlap a bales the same as in square bales. ? While it does net advise holding, the American Cotton Company is prepared to make liberal advances on roundlap bales. ti Obituary. j" Mrs. Elizabeth Rocf was born j July 17tb, 183*2, and departed this I life October 27th, A D.. 1001, mak- j ing her pilgrimage GO years, 3 months ! 11 and 10 days.

To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: After a silence of some days we come again to talk with the readers of tbe good old Dispatch. I have just now finished reading a letter from cousin Edwin Kyzer, of Rutherford, Tenn. Old South Carolina holds the same warm spot in his heart as ever. Many thanks. cousiD, for your kind invitation to visit your home and bring my bride. t n oo fnr- fho I XJel LUC r>iv a IC" luiu^o ivi vajw good of the Rural Free Delivery from Lewiedale, S. C. Today wa9 our sixth trip and we already have some suggestions to make: 1st. Please don't leave your flag up when no mail is in the box. 2ad. All boxes ought to be on the right side of the road and so put up that the wheel of the buggy can pass under the box. When they are on straight posts the carrier has to dismount to open the box and this will be very disagreeable in rainy weather. The patrons will greatly accommodate the carrier if they will make fHo /Joairorl f?Hanorp_ VMW ~ O ~ 7 3rd. If you want anything in the carrier's line just leave a note with the money in the box and he will do you right. 4th. Don't stop the carrier for a social chat. He is a social fellow, but he i9 not a "sage" nor has he the "thyme." 5th. Take all the papers you are able and write a letter to your friends. 6th. A good opportunity to sub scribe for any paper will the carrier give you. No man can keep up with the times without taking his church, county and State papers. You owe it to your family give them something to read. The world needs and wants well informed men. Every morning the sound of the "Pond Branch" school bell reminds this scribe of the good old college bell. Here our young friend, Mr. Furmon Able, calls together the children cf the neighborhood to lengthen, broaden and deepen their lives. Traveling farther southward we find the beautiful and accomplished Miss Sallie Matthews in charge of Oak Grove school or Wateree. This is her second or third year at this school, which shows her popularity. Going still farther, ruling with queenly grace, we find at "Dick Hill", Miss Jossie Riddle. She is an able teacher. She, like all girls, is a riddle. Anybody having good books or paper that they would like to circulate for the good they will do, will please send the same to Rev. Miles J. Kyzer, at Lewiedale, S. C. He will see that they are well circulated and kept going from box to box. Now here is an opportunity for you to bless and brighten some home. God bless our own dear Southland South Carolina, the greatest of the South. None of Booker Washington for us. Klondike. Modem Surgery Surpassed. "While suffering from a bad case of piles I consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve," says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga. "I procured a box and was entirely cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is a splen- j did cure for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers." Surgery is un necessary to cure piles. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure any case. CutP, burns, bruises and all other wounds are also quickly cured by it. Beware of counterfeits. J.

I knew that our home doctor would insist the first thing 011 an examination, and that I would not submit to, unless 1 was dangerously sick, and then it would be too late to do any good. My son had your book. Common Sense Medical Adviser, and I thought from reading it that Dr. Tierce's medicines would do me more good than all the home doctors?and so it has.

"It is one of the lx-st that I ever used in my life. Before 1 began to use your medicine it seemed as though I would never l>e well "gain. Could not stand on my feet five minutes without fainting. Could not walk to my neighbors. Would have a vomiting spell that ivould last three hours at a time. My limits would tremble so I could not even wait on myself. Then I had a severe time of chronic inflammation of the liver.' then uterine trouble, then heart disease. I had five of the l>est pliysi- 1 cians that coul<l lx- found. They said to my friends "there is no help for her.' One said 'I J could not live the winter out. one told me that if I got temporary relief that was all that could be done.

She said "What are you not lip to do alxnit the liaby? l)o yon want me to care for her ? or some one else?' It seemed as though she had pierced me with a 1 sword, to think of leaving my little girl without . a mother, it seemed as though I could not stand ' it. and when my friends were telegraphed to f that 1 was dying, and seeing them weep by my \ l>ed. that seemed as though I could never stand . to hear them repeat that they would 1 take care ' of the baby and give her a good home.' I think ' if ever any one has lieen through with such a terrible thing they can sympathize with me. " There are a great many ladies that I have begged to use Dr. Pierce's medicine and told what it lias done for me. With the first two bottles of your' Favorite Prescription' and T-olden Medical Discovery' it seemed as though 1 was getting worse. With the next two I was feeling so well tliRt I could do mv work and l>c real jolly. With the next two I felt like a new lieing."
