* _ The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 16, 1902. v i * ?????????????????????? In Sleaoriam. i \ Death is sad at all times and unfL der all circumstanc38 but it was peculiarly Bad when on the evening I of May 23, 1902, the soul of Mr. Levi A Nichols took its flight to relms of ! eternal bliss. He was only sick a little over one day but suffered in tensely during that time. During the last few years death has entered that home for the third time, first T 1- rl 1? 1 ? A f or>^ jacoo ineir omy buu, a unguu promising youDg man was fcakeD, then a little over one year ago Mionie, their only daughter and surviving , child, was taken, now the father has gone to be with them, leaving the widow with neither husband nor children to comfort her. God has seen fit in his wise providence to spare her four little grandchildren to comfort her in her declining years. May they prove a blessing to her. Mr. Nichols united with Union Evangelical Lutheran church in early life and remained a consistent mem ber of the same until death. He l loved his church and was seldom m absent from services. He will be sadly missed in the church and in the community in which he lived, (but most sadly of all at home. His dear little grand children who loved their grandfather so dearly will miss him but his companion will miss him most of all. His seat is vacant around the fireside and there is no one. that can take his place with her. His funeral services were conducted . at Union church, Lexington county, I S. C, May 24tb, by Rev. Shumpert, * from a text of his own selection, viz: Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be li^e his. After which his body were gently laid to rest in the cemetery near by to await the resurrection morn. May God bless the sorrowing ones and help nf them fcn ho live that thev mav f w- ? - - - ? . / one day form an unbroken family around the throne of God. H. C. N. Pcisoning the System. It is through the bowels that the A body is cleansed of impurities. Conkjjgt stipation keeps these poisons in the [ |U? system, causing headache, dulness fel and melancholia at first then unB|1 sightly eruptions and finally serious V 1 illness unless a remedy is applied. De Witt's Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and promote easy, healthy action of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently but by strengthening the bowels enable tbem to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. J. E. Kaufmann. Candidate's Troubles. - * ? ' - 1* Tfce laudable attempt 01 toe candidates in Cbarlseton to "cut out" beer and whisky in- the campaign has i proven a miserable fiasco and one by one they have succumbed to the * boms and heelers. Charleston's example has been held up as a good patt tern for candidates in other counties, but all this has to be takan back now. ^ It never has been quite as bad in ?? Kichland about beer and whisky as 1? it is in Charleston, but the disrepulaH ble practice has ' been bad enough, and the signs are that it will be rem newed and that increased demands ' W will be made on candidates this year. ' Already the candidates are loud in i their protestations of the wrong inl flicted upon them, but they seem \ powerless to resist. These leeches j II are already sucking their blood until |! at the end of the campaign they will have been bled to death. ^ The Charleston Post has the following account of how the candidates in ^ the city capitulated: L When it was announced in the |H Evening Post several days ago that ijB the candidates had made an agree^ 1 - -1 4. t T " meDt among memseiveB uul iu iurui8h the boys with beer this year and * for the first few days after the announcement the heelers were on the anxious bench, for they did not know where the stuff was to come from to satisfy their parched lips. A meeting was held and they determined thai if beer and booze was not forthcoming < they would see that no votes were cast for them. Every candidate was notified and since they have received notice they hare been liberal in sending out beer. The Southern wharf, known as Gray Gables, is a favorite resort for the boys. They have a lay out ever) day at 1 p m. and again at 4 p. no. Ham and bread and good cool beer is served at the gatherings and ihe boys always manage to have a good time and keep in a lively state of mind. The candidates are coming around all right observed one of the guests at Gray Gable3. He said that at first the candidates were disposed to act ugly and shut down on beer, bui when the boys got together and j agreed to knife every candidate who ? t t -JC t | relusea to cougn up a keg 01 uee> j occassionally, he said the candidates knew that they were determined and they came around all right. A keg of beer intended for some cf the voters of Ward 10 was held up by a gang of boys in Ward 9, and taken to their place of meeting and disposed of in a short space of time The boys in Ward 10 waited patiently for the beer that never came and when they learned that the lager had fallen into the hands of the enemy they became very much incensed aDd there were wild threats and mutterings against the heelers of Ward 9 You Eaeur What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tenia because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle show ing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form, No Care, No Pay. 50c. Who Will Succeed Miles? Washington July 10?There is considerable speculation in tbe army as to the probable successor of Lieut. Gen. Miles, who retires by reason of age on August 8, 1903. but it is net generally known that tbe duties of the office of the commanding general are largely performed by General S. M. Young, the president of the war college. Ic is an open secret in the war department that General Miles is com manding general in Daiae only. His name appears on official orders, ard routine papers pass through his office, but when advic9 is desired by the secretary of war on matters affecting tho armr Y inner is alwavfi called into consultation. It is definitely known that when General Miles retires, either by reason of age, a year from now, or by order of the president, Gen. YonDg will be named as his successor, but as General Young retires for age on January 9, 1904, he will have only a few months to serve and the real in terest, therefore, centres in a successor to General Young. rTKo frionHa rif TVTunnr f4onprftl flnr. JbUW JL A. VA, AU.VJVA w* bin say that he is the logical candidate by reason of loDg service and in recognition of his conduct of the war with Spain. General Corbin declines, however, to authoiize the use of his name in this connection and has al4 ready disavowed any intention to scramble for the office. Secretary Root and the president are much impressed with General Corbin's ability and among the officers of the army his chances for appointment are considered excellent. The candidates against him will be Major General Adna Chaffee, John C. Bates, Arthur McArthur and James F. Wade. General Wade is now a Briglier General, but he has been assured . " promotion to Major General upon | the occurrence of the next vacancy. McLaurin Hay Decline. Some people in the South Carolina circle in Washington who claim to have inside information as to affairs in this State seem to think that, after all, Senator McLaurin may not be | appointed to the federal judgeship of the court of claims. Not because they do not; think the President would appoint the Senator if be desires the honor, but because they believe that after all the talk concerning the Senator that he may not care to accept the place. He may prefer I to remain in the Senate until the end of the next session of Congress, I when his term will expire, and then i to reenter the practice of his profes| sion, either in South Carolina or in ! Washington. The Senator, it is I stated by his friends, has received I many tempting offers, but he has ac| cepted none of them, and it is said i he may decline the judgeship if offered. ! - A man never really begins to live until he is dead in love.

The elder Miller, a liberal minded man, insisted on giving each of the freed Negroes a salary, but asked, in return, that each perform his or her assigned duty without fail, just as would be done were they to seek service elsewhere, as they were free to do. To one old fellow, Jonas, was assigned the duty of watering Mr. Miller's saddle horse three times daily at regular intervals. Several times he neglected the duty, and each time was told by Mr. Miller that they would have to separate if he were not more careful. When next he forgot, Mr. Miller said: "Jonas, you've had fair notice. Now you and I must part." "Yap, Marse John," replied Jonas, "I'm sorry too. I was born an1 raised here on de plantashum and shall die here. I members yo', MarBe John, sinc8 a baby, an' I does hate for to see you go 'way. Where's yo' gwioe to, Marse John?"
