The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday, June 18,1902.
A Moath. of Great Mystery.
May, 1902, will probably go down
to history as a month of many disasters,
for an equal sum total of calamity
has hardly ever before been crowded
into a single moon. The following is
a brief epitome of the most notable
WV* * V/* W*
May 1. A tornado devastated the
city of Decca, in India, and the adjoining
country, killing 51G people
and ruining the crops.
May 8. Volcanic eruptions on the
islands of Martinique and St. Vincent
caused the death of 30,000 people, it
is estimated, and rendered waste a
:
v large part of both islands.
May 13. Twenty-three people were
killed and 202 were injured in an explosion
of naphtha at Sheridan, Pa.
May 14 News was received of
the loss of the British-India liner
Camorta, carrying 650 passengers.
* It is not known bow many perished.
i * i,
May 17. Eight men were shot to
death and six people were wounded
in a riot at Atlanta, Ga.
May 18 From 50 to 1000 people
were killed and immense damage was
done by a tornado in Texas. The
storm extended northward, causing
i
death and damage in other States.
May 19. Between 150 and 200
liv?3 were lost in an explosion in a
mine at Coal Creek, Tenn.
May 20. A storm accompanied by
a waterspout swept over Cincinnati
and the adjoining county, killing six
people and causing over a million dollars1
damage to property.
May 23. The northeastern portion
!p> of Iowa was submerged by floods,
V causing great damage; 134 men were
entombed in a mine at Fernie, jBritish,
Columbia.
May 24. Portions of Illinois, Nebraka,
Missouri and Kansas were
visited by severe storms which caused
extensive damage to property.
In addition to this appalling record
there were numerous minor tragedies,
such as the killing of Paul Leister
Ford by his brother, the crucifixion
of a farmer in Arkansas, the automobile
accident at a speed test near
New York, etc., while within the
eame period many men prominently
associated with the world's work have
died, among them being Amos Cummings,
Potter Palmer, Archbishop
Corrigan, Frank Stockton, Admiral
Sampson, Brete Harte, the Italian
aeronant Severo, and Lord Paunce.fote.
A tragic thirty days came to end,
truly, when the month of May was
numbered with the past.

An Editor in Great Luck.
The Editor of the Podunk Blad<
sat in bis chair, grinding copy will
all possible rapidity. It wbi the eve
of the press day, and the printer an(
devil were stacking the* type a: i
great rate. Sheet after sheet wv
filled with flattering notices of Pe
x dunk's prosperity, of Major Blither
new residence, of Banker Squeezem*
new carriage, of the approaching
graduation exercises. Faster an<
faster he wrote, till his tired brail
became dizzy and his head droppe<
over
"How are you, Mr. Editor,v said i
hearty voice. "I'm Tom Siocum
that lives over by the big creek
Been taking your paper quite a spel
and thought I had better drop in
and pay up."
"Glad to see you, sir. How's the
crops over your way?"
"Never better. Guess I owe you
for about two years. Here's three
dollars. Give me credit for it, will
you?"
"With pleasure. I'll just write
you a receipt."
"Never mind the receipt. Say, I've
a couple of chickens out there in the
wagon that my wife sent to you.
She said she'd bet you'd like 'em."
"Thank you very much. I ,"
"Never mind the thanks. Tain't
nothing. Just been down to mill
and had a big grist ground. If you've
got a sack or something to put it in
I'll give you thirty or forty pounds.
We think a mighty lot of your paper,
and we want to show it."
"You are very kind. I can never
thank ."
"Well, don't try. Say I guess you'd
better send the Blade to my wife's
sister over in Slabtown. She visited
here a couple of months last summer
and got acquainted with a lot of people.
She'd like to keep tract of
them. And while you're about it
just send it to my brother down in
Cohosh. He owns some property
hefe, and ought to read about how
things are boomin' here. That was
a splendid write up you gave the
church supper. I bet it tickled the
church folks. We thought we'd die
laughin' at that story you wrote
about.the county convention of the
other party. You did certainly
take the hide off o' them, if believe
. your paper gets better every week.
' ?? ? ? i i ? i
We're going to nave a lot 01 appies
this summer. Come out some time
and take home a couple of barrels.
Your editorials go right to the 'meat
of the questions at issue and I'm
gettin' a lot of valuable information
out of* them. Say, I am going to
kil^a beef next week and if you want
it I'll bring you in a forequarter. We
can't use it all. Come to think of it
I had you send the paper to my boy
that's going to college 7er at Clingville,
and I ain't paid for it. Count
up what it all amounts to for
a year. Three Dollars? Say,
you won't get rich $chargin' that
way. Well, I must be goin'. Here's
a fiver. Just give me credit on them
subscriptions for the whole amount.
I'll be in next week with the beef.
Good day."
But just as the good farmer stepped
to the door his foot caught on a
splinter and he fell with such a thud
that the editor woke up.
Bead It In His newspaper.
George Sehaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio,
is a constant reader of the Dayton
Nolkszeitung. He knows that this
paper aims to advertise only the best
in its columns, when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back he did not hesitate
in buying a bottle of it for his wife,
who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in hei
back and could not get any relief. He
says: "After using the Pain Balm for
a few days my wife said to rae,Tfeel
. as though born anew,' and before
using the entire contents of the bottle
the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take uj
her house duties." He is very thank
ful and hopes that all suffering like
^ wise will hear of her wonderful re
covery. This valuable liniment if

e "One Minute Cough Cure beats all

e coughs, colds, croup, throat and lung
e troubles,'' says D. Scctt Currin of
e Loganton, Pa. One Minute Cough
a Cure is the only absolutely safe
cough remedy which acts immediate
]y. Mothers testifiy to the good it
has done their little ones. Croup is
so sudden in its attacks that the
s doctors often arrive too late. It
8 yields at once to One Minute Cough
? Cure. Pleasant to take. Children
h like it. Sure cure for grip, bronchitis
and coughs. J. E. Kaufmann.

Edgefield Chronicle.
President Roosevelt has announced
that he has determined on a man for
the vacant judgeship in the Court of
i Claims. Senator McLaurin is generally
regarded as the winner of this
j plum, and his nomination may be
sent to the Senate any day. McLaurin's
resignation from the Senate j
will probably follow very shortly I
the announcement of his appoint- j
ment. Then Gov. McSweeney would
have to appoint his successor. And
a most excellent citizen to fill the
place would be State Democratic
Chairman Willie Jones, of Colombia.
We know Col. Jones to be the starchest
of Democrats, a brave, fearless,
conservative business man, a man
thoroughly posted on the national
questions of the day, and a man in

Although Col. Jones has not heretofore?nor
does he now, of his own

his State as a candidate for political
honor, yet he is richly worthy of all
i,je honor his State can give him.
Saved From An Awful Fate.
"Everybody said I had onsumption,"
writes Mrs. A. M. Shields, of
Chambersburg, Pa., "I was so low
after six months of severe sickness,
caused by Hay Fever and Asthma,
that few thought I could get well,
but I learned of the marvelous merit
of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption,
used it, and was completely
cured.'' For desperate Throat and
LuDg Diseases it is the safest cure in
the world, and is infallible for Coughs,
Colds and Bronchial Affections. Guaranteed

member of the Civic Federation said
today a scheme is in course of preparation
on entirely new lines and
has nothing to do with any previous
plan. It is learned that one feature
of the new proposition is the appointment
of a new commission of arbitration
by the president. This will
have to be done with the consent of
both sides, and whether the operators
will oppose is uncertain.

An Historic Trowel.
The trowel used in laying the cor
nerstone of the Contral Presbyteriar
Church Monday is an object of ereal
interest and veneration, especially tc
Masons.
It is of sterling silver, with ar
ivory handle, and was first used bj
the Marquis Lafayette in laying th(
cornerstone of the monument to th<
Baron De Kalb in 1825. It wa*
made especially for that occasion
and was for many years in the posses
sion of private persons at Camden
but eventually passed into the handi
of the grand lodge of Masons ir
this State. The Marquis Lafayeth
was an eminent Mason, and on thi
occasion of hi3 visit to America ii
1825" he made a special visit for th<
purpose of officiating at the laving
of the cornerstone of the monumen
to the memory of his friend and com
panion in arms. Baron De Kalb.
The Lafayette trowel is one of thi
most highly prized relic3 in thi
