t The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 2, 1902. The Ha in Issue. Carolina Spartan. r It is not the tariff, however much George Johnstone may harp on it; nor is .1 imperialism, although John Hemphill should declare that from the housetops; nor is it McLaurinism, however boldly John Gary Evans may assert it, but the great issue of the day, the burniDg question, is Pie with a big P. From New York to New Orleans, the Philippines and the water cure are laid aside while pie is discussed from the economic aesthetic, dietic and historic standpoint. We do not care what a candidate thinks about reciprocity and the isthmian canal and ship subsidies. What we wish to know and what we must know before we vote is whether the candidate is sound on pie. We also wish to know bow he eats his pie and what filling he likes, whether blackberries, peaches, apples, pump kin, or anything else that enters into a good pie. We also wish to know whether he prefers the kivered, unkivered or barred. Or perchance he may incline in the case of peaches to a pot pie, the seeds remaining in the peaches to give that delicate flavor that can come from nothing else on earth under the earth, or from the ' waters beneat^. Then we want to know how these candidates eat pie. The fact is we would much prefer to witness a pie eating match rather than listen to the speeches they are getting off. When people eat pie they are unconventional. Their real character is portrayed in unmistakable ' outlines. When they make speeches there is always a suspicion that they are conquetting with the voters, and that they are artfully concealing their real opinions, if they have any, nMtninna nVirocco on/7 rtonafoti. I If 1MI Oj^GIVylUUO 9UU gvuwidit ties that do not glitter. But the real, searching test of character and genuine manhood is the opinion that candidates entertain in regard to pie , and the manner of eating the same. On this subject of pie we wish to state for the benefit of The Charlotte Observer, The New Orleans Times Democrat and The New York Sun that the perfection of peach pie is what is known as the "kivered. pot pie,'' the peaches being peeled, but the seed remaing within. That is a pie made of whole peaches. The undercrust of this pie is crisp and tender, and the closest inspection will not show where the peaches stops and the crust begins, for it is one harmonious; homogeneous whole, with a delicate crust on the bottom to hold mi .? the sweetness in. inen mere are delicate, almost ethereal strips of pastry laid across every layer of peaches. When this is built up I about four inches high real artistic work is required for the top crust. If any one has a pewter dish about twelve inches in diameter and four inches high it is the thing to bake that pie in. No ether vessel does as well. Next to that, which 1 is a rare possession these days, the Delft-ware, is second best. But keep your pesches when cooking away from tin or iron. Such a pie is a poem. How It Is Done. The first object in life with the American people is to "get rich;" the second, bow to regain good health. The first can be obtained by energy, honesty and saving; the second, (good health) by using Green's August Flower. Should you be a despondent sufferer from any of the effects of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Appendicitis, Indigestion, etc., such as Sick Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Sour Stomach, Habitual Costiveness, Dizziness of the Head, Nervous Prostration, Low Spirits, etc., .you need not suffer another day. Two doses of the well known August Flower will relieve you at once. Go to Kaufmann's Drugstore and get a sample bottle free. Regular size, 75 cts. Get Green's Special Almanac. Seeking an Easy Life. How life can be made most easy in every way seems to be the all absorbing question in the minds of many who never lay hold of the business of living in a serious manner. I The assertion "Life is real, life is earnest," has no meaning for them. It might as well have been uttered in one of the "dead languages." Such j individuals say plainly by their ac j tions if Dot their words that they are here for an easy time, let the rest of j the world look out for themselves. | But we never find people who seek j an easy time really happy for they j are sure to see some one apparently J more fortunate than themselves aEd i envy, that arch destroyer of peace of i mind, takes possession of them blind- J ing them to the pleasures at their | command. Contrast their feelings with the j real joy and contentment of these who, striving to make much cf life, lay hold, of its duties as they come cheerfully bearing their own burdens and if need be lightening the load of tboBe less stroDg or not so well equipped. Mother Always Seeps It Handy. "My mother suffered a long time from distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indigestion," says L. W. Spalding, Verona, Mo. "Two years ago I got her to try Kodol. She grew better at once and now, at tbe age of seventy-six, eats anything she wantB, remarking that she fears no bad effects as she has her bottle of Kodol haDdy." Dont waste time doctoriDg symptoms. Go after the cause. If your stomach is sound your health will be good. Kodol rests the stomach and strengthens the body by digesting your food. It is nature's own tonic. J. E. Kaufmann. Corn Cut Dourn for Forage. The corn reports from Texas is not near so favorable as they were some time ago. Corn in some places is being cut down for forage, while the cotton crop is beginiDg to suffer. The Wateree Messenger timelv savs: C? / t/ Our farmerB have' had to pay high prices for bacon, corn and hay to make the present crop, and would it not be a good idea for them to plant all the peas they can for forsge ? Peavine hay can be made cheaper, even at the high prices of peae, than almost any other hay or forage crop. There is a good market for hay all the time. Plant peas and save your ( grass crops. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened 1 in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and ( re-told by thousands of others. He 1 says: "Last summer I had an attack 1 of dysentery and purchased a bottle 1 of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and 1 Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used 1 according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The 1 trouble was controlled much quicker ' than former attacks when I used 2 other remedies " Mr. Kelly is a well 1 known citizen of Henderson, N. C. < For sale by J. E.

"Confound me, madam," said be "then you must have been warped by the way!" She soon, however, had ample re venge. The following evening he j joined her company and, with a sneer j and a bow, asked her if she knew j her catechism and could tell him the j name of Tobit's dog. "His name, sir, was Nash," replied 1 the lady, "and an impudent dog he i was!" I ?

Dr. Timmerman. the Next Governor of South Carolina. The Oconee News has the following to say of Lexington's candidate for j Gjvernor: "The frank statement of Dr. Tim- ! merman at Donalds, that taxes could ] not be reduced is commendable. There is no probability of taxes being | reduced while the people are clamor- ! ing for good roads, bridges and more j public improvements. As he says, ; there is no way to avoid the prompt , payment of the interest ou thepublic I debt, which is the largest sum paid j j< v i_ _ 11 ; out ior any one purpose, neany an [ of the candidates devote most cf their time to talking of better schools, and any voter knows to make the schools better would require more money and heavier taxes. The greater part of j this talk about better public schools j is mere claptrap. There is no need j of an accumulated school fund when j the children cannot spare the time to attend the schools. RECORD IS SPOTLESS. We see among the list of candidates for Governor the name of our old friend.Dr. W. H. Timmerman of Batesburg. Dr. Timmerman's record as a successful business man, both in j public and private life, can't be sur- [ passed or scarcely equaled in the State. Besides that, his political * * * i v record is spotless aria everyone wno i knows him admires him for his j honesty of purpose, sincerity of heart | and Christian virtues. Just the kind j of man needed .for Governor.?Lee J County Vindicator. Vacation Days. Vacation time is here and the children are fairly living out of doors, j There could be no healthier place for them. You need only to guard against the accidents incidental to most open air sports. No remedy j equals DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve i for quickly stopping pain or remov- | ing danger of serious consequences. For cuts, scalds and wounds. "I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve for sores cuts and bruises," says L. B. Johnson, Swift, Tex. "It is the best remedy on the market." Sure cure for piles and skin diseases. Beware of counterfeits. J. ?. Kaufmann. Dr. D. L. Boozer Dead. Newberry Observer, 26. Dr. D. L. Boozer died yesterday afternoon at 5:45, aged about 65 years. His death resulted from heart dis- | sase, from which he had been a sufferer for eome time, though he was up and goiDg adoout until just a few days ago. Dr. Boozer was a skillful dentist, having practiced his profession with much success in Columbia. He moved to Newberry several years j ago and with his sons established I the Newberry roller mills near his residence in the northern suburbs of the city. Dr. Boozer was a member of the Hampton Legion during the Civil war and served with gallantry j throughout that memorable struggle. He leaves a wife and five sons: J. | Wm. and J. Edward of Columbia, j both dentists; D. L Boozer, Jr., of | Newberry, dentist; Julius and Eu- j gene, who reside at the homestead in ! Newberry. I Need Hore Help. Often the over-taxed organs of J digestion cry out for help by Dye- ! pepsia's pains, nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver complaints, bowel disorders. Such troubles call for prompt use of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They are gentle, thorough and guaranteed to cure. 25c., at J. E. Kaufmann's drug store. . "That Got Him."

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. ! All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. ?The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they filter out ihe waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do ip;v \ their work. T I Pains, aches and rheu/ matism come from ex^/sj cess cf uric acid in the -?~"vS blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart troub! , because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail Homo o? Swamp-Root. | free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Endorsed by His County. W.
