Wednesday, April 30. 1902.
In so far a3 new developments and
exciting incidents were concerned tbe
Manning meeting last Friday did net
come up to the expectations of the i
people who had looked forward to it 1
with much interest and expected a
"red hot"' time. Evidently Senator
Tillman thought that he would have
no use for his pitchfork in handling
the Senator from Clarendon and so
left that formidable weapon in the 1
United States Senate at Washington 1
for immediate use on his return.
Senator Tillman faced his accuser !
and listened with marked attention to
the rehash of tbeold charges brought
against him by Senator Appelt. .
The charges by which he was confronted
are so old that they have long
since become chestnutty. With the
exceptiou of the Senior Senator's reference
to his colleague as beiog "a
traitor to his party," and his suggestions
concerning the manner in
which the State primary should be
conducted and the nature of the
oath to be taken by the candidates,
the affair was a very tame one. Re
garding his proposition for two campaigns,
we think that the candidates
themselves are settling this questioD
to their own satisfaction by adopting
the "still hunt" system of canvassing
for votes. Tbey have long since
recognized the impossibility of mak
ing an effective campaign by depend
ing entirely upon the meetings ar
ranged by the State Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee even should twf
sets of meetings be provided and
are "toting tbeir own skillets" and
"hoeing their own row."
Some few weeks ago the managers
of the State Agricultural and Me
chanical Association gave out the in
formation that the State fair, if helo
at all, would this year go to that towL
ii l? s l l:j rrtL
m&King toe nigcesi diu ior u. xut
reason assigned for this determiDa
tion on the part of the fair peoph <
was the indifference of the Columbia
people toward the fair and its noo 1
support of it. It is contended that
should the fair be moved away from
Columbia the buildings and ground*- i
would revert to the city and would !
in turn be turned over to an associa ?
tion of business men of the city for the '
purpose of organizing a fair associa
tion "to give their own exhibition*- '
and change the style of tbeenterfcaiD *
ment from year to year." That a fair
will be pulled cff in Columbia this
year is almost a foregone certainty, *
but whether under the auspices of 1
the State Agricultural and MechaDi- *
?
cal Association or the Columbia Fair
Association has not been definitely S
determined at this time.

A wind storm of cyclonic propor- \
tioDs visited Pittsburg cn April 27tb, c
>nd did much destruction to pro

Was a day and the greater part of ^
of another day. The storm played s
havoc with telegraph and telephone t
wires and the path of the storm was 6
strewn with debris aDd ruin. i
An epidemic of cholera has broken c
out in the Philippine islands. In t

Leesville Notes.
fo the Editor of the Dispatch:
Most of the farmers are about i
through planting.
Messrs. E. J. Etheredge, H. P.
Bouknight and Westley Nichols have
returned from Dallas, Texas. Capt.
A.. P, West is still in the Lone Star
State visiting friends and relatives.
Those who have returned report a
very enjovable time at the re-union.
Dr. L. B. Etheredge, of Wagener,
spent a few days last week in our
midst.
The Democratic club met on Saturday
evening with a roll of 240 members.
Capt. J. S Derrick was electrd
Executive Committeeman, also ten
delegates to go the county convention.
Major Perry, the sleeping preacher,
will be exhibited at the college

Echoes from the Fen of Billy j
Felix.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Everything is quiet along the line 1
save now and then a stray shot j
from some of our expectant candi- j
dates in the political field.
We are having fine, delightful J
spring weather.
Cotton is coming up, corn is green
and growing, wheat and spring oats !
are looking hopeful and gardens
tempting to the appetite.
We are pained to learn of the illness
of our fellow townsman and
friend, Mr. C S. Goodwin. We hope,
under the skillful treatment of that
experienced physician, Dr. Rufus
Neece, of Pelion, that he may Boon
recover and be out about his business.
The Sunday school at Gaston has
revived after hibernating and bids
fair to do good work the comiDg
year.
The work on the farms are progressing
finely and present indica
ticns Hi fair for a good crop. In
my recent travels over some parts of
dear old Lexington, I noticed more
acreage beiDg planted in corn and
less in cotton. If our cotton planters
had all followed the example of one
of our farmers it would have been
better for us all. Last year he
bought fifty 6acks of guano, this
year he purchased five.
The young people are very conspicuous
these beautiful, pleasant
Sunday afternoons. Probably the
orange blossoms will bloom Xmas
times.
Mrs. W. B. Fallaw spent some
time recently with relatives and
?riends in the Wagener neighbor-i

Agents representing different firms
md corporations have been almost as
lumercus of late as me think the
prospecting candidate will be this
summer. Billy shall be pleased to
see them, as he has purchased several
lew hoes and will hold them in readiless
for the coming candidate to try
lis hand, as the majority of them
jlaim to be farmers.
We regret very much to learn of
he death of Mrs. Mary Osner. The
vriter has known her for some time
md has alwavs found her to be a
rue loyal Christian lady. She poslessed
traits of character that go to
nake up a true lady. She was a
consecrated member of the Baptist
church, always faithful to duty,
aught in the schools of Lexington
county always giving entire satisfacion.
Being in the very bloom of
lealth, we thought her stay on earth
i long one, but God decided othervise.
To the young husband and
he parents, sisters and brothers we
xtend our deep sympathy in this
rying hour of bereavement. And
ve commend them to a loving Saviour, j

While the fallaw ground in the
political ? eld is being broken with a
view to a successful harvest, the
mitrimonial field has not been neglected.
There ha3 baen one pushing
his claims for sometime who was
duly elected and took the oath of
office on the twentv-fourth. The
oath was administered by W. B Fallaw,
linking together matrimonially
for life one of Lexington's industrious
young men, Mr. L. V. Mack, to
one of Orangeburg's fair and charming
belles. Miss Bettie Spigner. May
they live long, happy and useful
lives.

Hints on the Road Question.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As Mr. Craps thinks we have but
little road law and Mr. P. J. Rucker
thinks we ought not to have what we
already have, how would a law emboding
the following answer the
purpose: I think its unjust for any
one to pay out. For the well to-do
can pay and the poor can!r, therefore
they have to do their own work and
that of the well-to-do also. I would
| like to know what becomes of the
money after its paid. How do they
expect the overseers to keep up the
roads without hands or money. For
instance, if all paid up except three
or four, how could they keep up the
roads.
Now, Mr. Editor, if this proposition
is wrong I would be pleased for some
one to correct it. A. B. Quattlebaum.

At a recent business meeting of the
City Council of Sumter, "Mr. Finr,
spoke of the interest Congressman
Lever had taken in securing Free
Mail Delivery for Sumter. He offered
the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, that the thanks of the
n/-mnr>il ore rlno nnrl Viorohv tondpr? d I
V.V,?? ^ --??
Congressman A F. Lever for the active
interest he has manifested in
securing a Free Mail Delivery System
in this city. #
"Resolved further, that the Clerk
be directed to communicate to Mr.
Lever this action of Council.''
The Late Dr. Stokes.
The house of representees devoted
an hour last Saturday to the passage
of bills by unanimous consent and th? n
suspended public business for the remainder
of the afternoon, duriDg
which it listened to tributes to the. "
memories of the late Representative
Crump, of Michigan, and the late
Dr. J. William Stokes, of South Carolina.
Those who spoke of the public
services of the late Mr. Stokes were
Messrs. Lever, Elliott, Scarborough,
Johnson and T'albert, of South Carolina;
Hay, cf Virginia; DeArmond,
of Missouri; Jenkinp, of Wisconsin;
Williams, of Mississippi; Wadsworth,
of New York; Gilbert, of Kentucky: I ;
Richardson, of Tennessee; Lamb, of (
Virginia; Tboraaa, of North Caroline, <
and Candler, of Mississippi. I

our rate for candidates is $3 for the

Oil for the
Children*
Give them oil?cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, iretful
child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anaemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take aflatchested
child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big (
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
It has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. Scott's Emulsion
is the one.
Scott's Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.
Send for free sample.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Thing* That Happen Every Dr.y In
the Life of a Busy Editor.
[Copyright, 1002. by C. B. Lewis.]
The coroner of this town couldn't do
a more sensible thing than to hold an
inquest on his own remains.
The rumor that we arc looking for
another political office is true. We now
hanker to be fish commissioner of the
territory, thus giving us five soft snaps.
There is no cheek about this. We are
simply taking care of ourself as an
editor. What is left after we are provided
for can go to the modest and
humble public.
We ask it as a personal favor that
Colonel Jackson will keep away from
this office. Three different times within
a month he has called aud shot at
us because we differ with him as to
the length of the Mississippi river,
ard, though he couldn't hit us if he
shot all day long, the noise he makes
disturbs the printers in the next room.
Again we warn our readers not to
put too much trust In our weekly
weather predictions. We may hit it
plumb center now and then, or we may
not come within a mile of it. All the
tools we have to work with are a pair
of compasses, a rule, a blue pencil and
unlimited ambition, and we simply do
the best we can.
Old Jim Hewson, who was bitten by
a wolf two weeks ago, is said to be in
a critical condition from blood poisoning.
No one has heard from the wolf,
but he probably died long ago.

streets and fired six bullets apiece,

and no one was even grazed. We always
contended that it was a cross
eyed town.
The position of sporting editor on the
staff of this paper is vacant. The salary
is $8 per week, and the applicant
must furnish his own guns and cartridges
and pay his own funeral ex

The Three Meal Habit.
Our three meal habit is a fearful
tax on our -working capacity. It trebles
the temptation to overeating. Our
champions stagger under the weight of
a physiological handicap. One-half of
the functional energy of the system is
diverted by the exigencies of digestion.
No other hygienic mistake has done so
much to make us a generation of dyspeptics
as the custom of after dinner
work. Its victims, moreover, incur the
risk of contracting that form of moral
dyspepsia called pessimism. It tends
to rob the working day of its reward.
?Success.
Mothers! Mothers! Mothers!
