To the Editor of the Dispatch: The crops were once promising and bright but the late dryness and heat, accompanied by the hot winds, have seriously itjured the older crops of com. They had not recovered from the severe wind and hail of one month ago which makes it harder for crops now. The Methodist last Sunday had Children's day at their church and it was a day of feast to others besides their faith. That scholar and Christian epRoher. Prof. L. B. Haynes, from Leesville, addressed the audience on the occasion. The effort, from testimony of those who heard it, was worthy of the character and ability of the speaker. Our community has sofar matured cnly one candidate, but Madam rumor says he will not enjoy his solitude much longer. Dr. John R. Langford, to the regret of many of our citizens, has decided to remove to Earhart's, in Bamberg county, to practice his profession, and cn Monday, 23rd ult, left our town to make his home there ? - * ? *? < i _ Mrs. LaDgford fcas sola ouc ner interest in the millinery business to Mrs. Sallie Hutto, and on Thursday afterwards, went on a visit to her sister in Macon, Ga., before going to Bamberg county. They made many strong friends while with us and carry the best wishes of our citizens. Dr. Langford is a physician of unusual skill and ability, fidelity aod will well merit the patronage of his new home. Besides his worth in bis profession, he was while with us, a public spirited citizen in all enterprises and had the courage of his convictions to think and act, and was a consistent church man, and always devoted to the highest and best interest of the church and Sunday school. Both as citizens and Christians, he and his companion, carry our respect and kindest remembrances. Swansea's loss will be I TTlorliarfft'a Grain. Dr. J. L. Johnson is home frcm Charleston where he has been for several years in TJ. S. Civil Service department and will resume the practice of medicine her? in his native home. The political hue as yet, has taken on no appearance of force or interest but hopes are entertained that more interest will boom up as the campaign moves on. The papers show that the same old straw is threshed at 6very meeting and program pulls its slow length along. The Sta'e Convention has placed its unmistakable denuncio on free thought and j free speech, the idols of Anglo Saxons ' and the Chicago platform, now rejected by all respectable and progressive Democrats north and west, is forced down the throats of our - J t- -i-i j: j_i. prostrate aou ueipieHts uauuiuait:? like the water cure is forced down the throats of helpless Fillipinos. One candidate for Congress prates about imperialism, another about the tariff, another McLaurinism, another civil service and like the crowd st Ephe8ue, trying to place the Temple of Diana above the Christian system, and like it the greater part not knowing why they assembled together. The Philippines are ours, Porto Kico ours and Cuba will be ours, but alas! that undying love of expansion and power, and that love of Christianity and liberty which God has given the Anglo Saxon over and above any other gift, and above other race of men, thank God still lives! and will override and destroy finally the phrenzy of any political party or ? ?3 ?;n l ti. i?t t\ section ana wm assert iteeii: demagogues and aspirants had better save their breath to cool their mush. Grover Cleveland is again trying to gain his ascendency in the Democratic party and decries free silver as a monstrous heresy but is wise enough to be quiet on imperialism and expansion and refuses "to be talkative" about it. Many mouths now blatant with curses of expansion will eoon see with their eyes the < i * i i i American eagle again unioia nis pinions and take his flight for still I more distant lands to break the ; shackles of religious tyranny and place many more benighted millions in reach of the Protestant faith. "What fools these mortals be."' July 4, 1902. Spectator. Mr. Newell Lee is visiting bis wife and children in this place. k Col. John T. !Sloan, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, impressed the people of Lexington county in his speech on campaign day on Saturday last as a man of high character, unquestioned ability and pleasing manners. He is a pure man with a clean record, and is popular and favorably known throught the State, and - ? . j TT . especially in .Lexington county, ne is eminently qualified to fill this high position, having served eight years as Senator, two years as a member of the House of Representatives, and was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1805 from Richland county. He advocates better educational facilities and especially for the public schools, better roads, encouragement to the agricultural and industrial welfare of the State. He favors, distinctly, the dispensary law. He was second in the race for Lieutenant Governor in 1900, defeating three of his opponents, and logically should win the first prize in the com ing election. He carried Lexington county in the first primary in the last election and will get a large vote next August. His chances for victory are excellent in our judgment. The people of Lexmgton sloouia vote ror him. He is our neighbor, LexiDgton and Richland counties are closely bound together, being now in the same Congressional and Judicial Districts. He deserves the votes of Lexington county. We believe and hope he will be elected. He will be the Lieutenant Governor of the entire people without regard to any faction. 1 Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous effoits to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the insiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the effaced lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann'a drug store. Gtt Green's Special Almanac. 4 ?
