The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday, July 16, 1902.
Echoes from Irene.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
A common expression?"Gents,
ain't she hot!"
We are now enjoying the Christian
hospitality of the good people of the
pretty little town of Irene.
Mr. Editor, you ought to be out
here feasting with us on the aqueous
melon.
Have you had the grip?
A general rain would be more acceptable
just now than the appearance
of the candidate.
The mill hands of Saxe-Gotha hsd
a holiday in commemoration of the
historical Fourth.
Watch out for "brown eye?."'
At this place we find many of dear
old Lexington's best boys holding lucrative
and honorable positions in the
service of the mill company. Among
them may be found John W. Gunter,
a better boy the moon [fair woman]
never smiled upor; David Hall, the
skillful machinist, who is made of
the right "stuff" to climb the ladder
that reaches to fame and to fortune.
Well, Mr. Editor, if the vote seekers
keep creeping out of the bush
we'll have a pretty fair crop to select
from after all. It's getting too hot for
them in the ck bush" and I am a
little "skeart" it will be too warm
for some of thepi in the race.
The protracted meeting here is
still in progress. Much interest has
been manifested. Some have already
turned from nature's darkness into
the light and liberty of the gospel of
Christ and have professed faith in the
atoning blood or the Lamb. Others
are deeply convicted of sin whom we
Vtnrta t?ill fnllntp in thfi fnntftfpns fif
Jesus. The Rev. H. M. Fallaw is
with the pastor and is delivering the
glad tidings of salvation with such
earnestness and unction from on high
that sinners are constrained to accept
the terms of mercy and flee the wrath
to come. HeDry is a very able and
faithful ambaesador of Christ and we
pray God's blessings to abide with
him in hi3 great work of the Master, I
and that he may have many precious
immortal souls for his hire.
Steps are being taken to paint the
church and already a start has been
effected. A new bell has been placed
in the belfrey and its clear ringing
tones can now be heard calling the
people to the house of prayer where
God is wont to be found. When the
church gets the finishing touches
from the artist's brush and the new
carpet is stretched it will take on a
neat and attractive appearance and
will be an edifice that will be a credit
1 o the religious and moral tone of the
people of this community.
Billy Felix.

Beware of Ointment for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
-sense of smell and completely de
range the whole system when entering
it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they
will do is' tenfold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally
acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall's Catarrah Cure be sure
you get the genuine. It is taken
internally, and is made in Toledo,
Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials

The Caucasian and the Negro.
Wm. P. Calhoun, of Greenville,
has published an important volume
on the "Caucasian and the Negro in
the Uuited States.'' It. is an argument
intended to aid in the solution
of the negro question. In the book
Mr. Calhoun reviews the political,
social and educational history of the
negro from emancipation up to the
present time. From the outset he
takes the ground that it is impossible
for two races, as unlike as the Caucasian
and negro, to flourish and
prosper together in the same country,
under the same constitution and
laws. Ha is willing to admit that
the negro could continue to exist as
an acknowledged inferior; but holds
that with the progress of education,
the maintenance of this condition is
impossible. Education creates in
the negro a desire for equality, snd
the desire for equality inevitably
briogs conflict. A coutinuance of
- L T 1
present conditions wm evectuan.y
result in the annihilation of the
negro, and this can be accomplished
only at a terrible expense to the civilization
of the Caucasian race. The
most reasonable and practical solution
cf the fearful question, Mr. Calhoun
thinks, colonization. He does
not think the negro can be sent back
to Africa on account of the expense
j and other difficulties; but does believe
! that if the Federal government will
[ take hold of the matter with earnest
I
determination, lands may be found j
in the Uuited States on which to set- I
tie the negro and put a stop to further
social and political dangers
present or future. As to how near
Mr. Calhoun is to being right in this
matter, there is ground for much
difference of opinioD; but whether
right or wrong in his conclusions,
?
there is 110 question of the fact that
that he has made an intelligent presentation
of a most important subject
?a subject that should engage the
most earnest consideration of the
people of the South and of the United
'States until it is settled and settled
right.
Brain Food Nonsense.
?
Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will |
sustain every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutriment
is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifies
the blood, and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get this
reliable remedy at Kaufmann's Drug
Store. Get Green's Special Almanac.

Vacation Days.
Vacation time is here aud the children
are fairly living out of doors.
There could be no healthier place
for them. You need only to guard
against the accidents incidental to
| most open air sports. No remedy
; equals DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve

ing danger of serious consequences.
! For cuts, scalds and wounds. "3
i used DeWitt's TVitch Hazel Salve for
sores cuts and bruises,'" says L. B.
Johnson, Swift, Tex. "It is the best

Ex-SeDator Ross, of Kansas, is
said to be setting type in a newspaper
office in j-lbuquerque, N. M. He
cast the deciding vote against the
impeachment of President Andrew

State Board of Equalization.
The State Board of Equalization
has not completed its work, but hos
! taken a recess until the 29th inst. It
was decided that all property for
equalization should be assessed at
the rate of 75 per cent, of its value,
| and the members while at home are
j expected to act with county auditors
' - - r . AMMA i /% IT. /-N. A ftl
I ID gfcJlliug iuiuriuatiuu, tamug auium
and typical sales of laDds as a basis
upon which to make their reports.
The board then proposes to equahze
all real estate in all counties so that
all shall pay taxes on a basis of 7o
per cent. Some members wanted to
make the basis even lower, but this
was rejected, but only by the deciding
vote of the chairman, the board
being equally divided on the question.
On the other hand the board very
readily agreed, however inconsistent
they were in doing so, to assess at'
their full value, cotton and cotton
seed oil mills and fertilizer factories.
The Virginia Carolina company's
nlant in Columbia was assessed at
?00,000 and the Royeter Guano
Company's at about -50,000.
As to cotton mills, the preferred
stock is valued at $100, and common
stock at rate reported by the mills.

is recommended for a permanent
cure will surely be affected. It never
fails to tone the stomach, regulate
the kidneys and bowels, stimulate
the liver, invigorate the nerves and
purify the blood. It's a wonderful
tonic for run-down systems. Electric
Bitters positively cures kidney

Cburch Council:
Whereas, God, in his infinite wisdom,
has removed from his sphere of
usefulness on earth our physician
and brother, Dr. William G. Muller;
And, whereas, Sandy Run has
been bereft of one its most useful
citizens; the Lutheran church an
efficient and faithful officer, the community
a kind and skillful physician,
who spared neither his labor, his
time nor his talent in furthering the
interest and welfare of others, therefore
be it.
Resolved, 1. That, though we lament
our great loss in his death, we
bow in humble submission to the will
of Him who doeth all things well.
2. That the sincerest sympathy of
this Council be tendered to the
family of the deceased.
3. That these resolutions be entered
upon the church record, and
that a blank page therein be dedicated
to the memory of Dr. W. G.
Muller.
4. That a copy of these proceedi
ing be sent to the family, and that
they be presented for publication in
the Lutheran Visitor and the county
paper.

A Warning to Voters.
' Honea Path Chronicle
This is campaign year and we de'
sire to warn all voters against the
) demagogue. He will be among the
candidates and he may appear in
large numbers. You can tell him by
his talk. If you are a farmer, he
will tell you how .the farmers are
down-trodden, and that he is your
greatest friend; if you will follow him
to town, you will hear him tell the
merchant that there is too much class
legislation and that he wants to see
less bitterness among the people
you will hear him Ml the mill people
that he believes in protecting their
interests, and if he thinks they favor
it, he believes in a child labor bill; if
they are opposed to it, he says all
legislation along this lino is an
1 l __ . u^
encroaeumeut uu iueu iiueiLxei*; uc
will tell the bankers that money is
worth what it will bring and that all
legislation as to interest is unwise,
but he will tell the people that bank
interest is eating them up, and something
ought to be done, if you are
an old soldier he will believe in big
pensions; if you love a drink he is
ready to treat; if you are a prohibitionist,
so is he. In short, he is a
chameleon of the purest water, and
he thinks the only prerequisite for a
statesman is a ready tongue for
promises and a handshake for everybody.
Now, would it not be a good idea
for the voters this year, to hunt for
men rather than for handshakers,
and for records rather than for promises.
Look out for men of clean
records; men of ability; men who
have always kept their promises;
men who stand well among their
neighbors; men who have always
attended to their own business well,
and you will find that these will serve
the people faithfully.
Above all beware of the man who
begins to abuse the people who belong
to another class, profession or
business than your own. When a
man does that he is exhibiting unmistakable
signs of being a demagogue.
Saves a "Woman's Life.
To have given up would have
meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of
Dorchester, Mass. For years she
bad endured untold misery from a
severe lung trouble and obstinate
,, cough. 4'Often,v she writes,'Tcould
scarcely breathe and sometimes
could not speak. All doctors and
remedies failed till I used Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption and
was completely cured." Sufferers
from coughs, cclds, throat and lung
trouble need this grand remedy, for
it never disappoints. Cure guaranteed
by J. E. Kaufmann. Price 50c
and $1 00. Trial bottles free.
Czar To Make Cotton Seed Oil.
New Oreleans, July 10?Mathien
de Nicouline, of St. Petersburg, and
Walter Stendel, of Moscow, arrived
here today after an examinatipn of
the cotton seed oil plant at Natchez
Mr. de Nicouline is the manager of
the cotton department of the imperial
domain of Russia, and Mr. Stendel
is at the head of one of the larg
est cotton mills at Moscow. They
are visiting the south for the purpose
of arranging for the introduction of
the cotton seed oil industry into their
country. Heretofore the seed has
been used as cattle feed.
The czar's own cotton domain produces
11,000 bales annually, and the
first Kussian oil mill will be erected
to handle the seed from it.
Need More Help.
Often the over-taxed organs of
digestion cry out for help by Dyspepsia'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.
Not in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Republicans declared
for an "honest ballot and a
fair count." They did not eav where,
but it is evident they meant to say in
the Southern States. They certainly
did not mean in Philadelphia or in
any other part of the Republican
baliwick.
If the Baby is Cutting Teeth.
Be sure and use that old and well
tried remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup for children teething. It
f loothes the child, softens the gums,
allays all pain, cures wind colic and
is the best remedy for diarrhoea.
Twenty-five cents a bottle.
It is the best of all.

The Same Old Story.
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similar to that which has happened
in almost every neighborhood in the
United States and has been told and
re-told by thousands cf others. He
says: "Last summer I had an attack
of dysentery and purchased a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera aDd
Diarrboea Remedy, which I used
according to directions and with
entirely satisfactory results. The
trouble was controlled much quicker
than former attacks when I used
ether remedies.'' Mr. Kelly is a well
