. The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, July 30,1902. The Song of the Farmer. I saw an bumble farmer, His back was bendiDg low, A 'picking out tbe cotton Along tbe cotton row. His ebirt was old and ragged, His pants were full of boles, 'Twas caused by tbe picking Tbe cotton from the bolls. CHORUS: Now pay me, says tbe merchant, Pay me all you owe; Unless you pay me up, sir, Til sell to vou no more. I cannot pay you, says the farmer: I cannot pay it all, You sold your goods so high, sir, I'll finish it next fall. Up steps a fair skin merchant With high top Derby on, Says pay me, Mr. Farmer, For you to me belong. I can't pay it, says the farmer, I cannot pay it all; Til pay you some today, boss, And finish it nexkfail. Up sails another merchant. With horse and buggy fine, Says pay me, Mr. Farmer, If not your corn is mine. Fve labored long and bard, sir, To try to meet my debts, And have my wheat and corn now to leea my precious pets. Says farmer to the merchant: You sold your goods so high You've caused my precious family To stay at home and cry. And now you want my corn, sir, And all I have to eat To pay you for some dry goods J*!nd a little piece of meat, Tm very poor, Says the farmer, * Can hardly live till fall, When along comes the merchant To sell and take it all. I wish you'd leave me some please, Says poor old farmer man, Til labor long and hard, 6ir, Ta not* t*a11 oil T non XU JUU ?144 X Tve waited long enough, sir, For you to pay it all And I will wait no longer: * M sue you sure this fall. Mt children?they are hungry, My wife is needing cloths.; Hie merchant's going to sue me, And that's the way it goes. The merchant sued the farmer And sold and took his all; Says this will do me now. sir; I'll take the rest next Tall. The sad and helpless farmer Then heaves a heavy sigh, And has no way to move on, But says Til have to try. ifr.'V The farmer to his family Says we are ruined now; To get home, cloths and rations I don't know where nor how. Then wife and children crying Will patch and mend old clothes; He bonds again for rations And that's the way it goes. The merchant goes to town, then, And gets his notes and books, And takes his pen and ink, sir, To straighten out the crooks. Says merchant to his partner: I took all the farmer had. And left him standing grieving And looking very sad. mat termer stui is aue us Forty dollars yet, And if he makes next year m have it then, you bet. Poor farmer makes the money "With horse and plows and hoes. But merchant comes and takes it, And that's the way it goes. Advice to poor old farmer; Too raise your corn and meat And never look to merchant For a single thing to eat. And wife must do the housework, And make the family clothes, Then the poor old humble farmer Can see the way it goes. Will Fight Jenkins. It is quite natural that the Republican leaders should not be satisfied with the appointment of Major Micah Jenkins. His selection was based on purely personal reasons, and it is supposed that the regular Republican organization will have do voice in the service under him. The only appointments he has made so far were those of Republicans, and it is presumed they were made on the recommendation of Captain Capers. But that gentleman himself is not in favor with the regulars, who resent his appointment as national commit J teeman and state distributor of polit- j ieal pie. No withstanding Mr. Sere j yen is a regular, his appointment to | a place will hardly placate Deas and his gang, and they are preparing to j wage a vigorous fight against the j confirmation of Major Jenkins and i Postmaster Harris, of Charleston, the latter a Capers protege. The Post of that city says: "A meeting of the Charleston county Republican executive com mittee was held last night and a reeo lution was adopted condemning tfc< appointment of Micah Jenkins as internal revenue collector. It waf stated at the meeting that a fighi will be made against the confirmatior of the rough rider at the next sessior of congress.' The negroes did no1 take kindly to the appointment oi W. L. Harris, either, but they did not adopt any resolutions in bis case, as they did in that of Jenkins. "Chairman Deas will address the * l TV it* t V. colored jsepuoiicans next weeK upon the invitation of the committee. The time and place will be announced later."

The following is the text cf the letter Senator McLaurin sent to President Roosevelt declining the position of judge of the court cf claim 8: Washington. D C. Julv 17. 1902. Mr. President: While sincerely appreciating; your gererous expressions of confidence, I have since seeing you concluded not to accept the appointment to the court of claims. I am sensible of the high honor and perfectly frank in saying that the office is one that would be very acceptable. In view of the persistent efforts to place me in the position of accepting this appointment as a reward for political service to the Republican party, I must decline. I entered the senate with a high purpose of trying to serve my country in spite of party, and the clamor against me is proof that to some extent I succeeded. I have fallen far short of the ideal, but with all that I now know, were it to go over agaiD, on the great issues upon which I have passed, I would not have the record different. Perhaps it is because I took so little thought of the effect my action mieht have unon nv political or ner o JT * ? sonal fortunes, that it is so difficult for me to understand such attacks as are contained in the enclosed article. However, since the disposition seems to relegate the matter of my appointment to a queetion of reward for services rendered to one political party or sacrifice for treachery to another, let it be the latter, my only regret being that it is not greater. Yours truly, Jno. Loundes McLaurin Brain Food ITonsense. 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 ana 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, how J C J 1- - 1 - I OVC1 gUUU yUUl 1UUU Ill?v ue, US EUlriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.

"The fellow that totes the ordinary pistol does not seem in a hurry to dispose of it and get one that conforms to the new law of 20 inches long and three pounds in weight. Why should he?

An American War of One Battle In the annals of the American navy no achievement of a single commander in a single ship surpasses that of David McDougal in the Wvommtr at Simonoseki.

Briefly told, the story is this: A sloop of war of six guns, in a narrow strait, engaged duiing seventy minu CATARRH .at The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and V ill? astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes or any external or local application, is ^ just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body. "When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant Tinging in the ears. No remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the ^ circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure klood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin NteV/ active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disappear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve under its tonic effects.
