The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday, August 6,1902.
Lever at Branchville.
t
A correspondent writing up the
meeting at Branchville, OraDgeburg
county, July 31, says of the Congressional
candidates:
"In the aftenoon the ladies especi1
ally ruBhed to the hall to hear the
two Congressional candidates, the
first of whom was the Hon. J. B.
McLaughlin, of St. Matthews. Mr.
McLaughlin came forward amid applause,
and for thirty minutes, in a
_:i.v t
Vigorous manner auu wjuj joiviu
^' feeling, be discussed ably the various
- issues which confront the American
^ people today. He will receive many
votes in this, bis home county.
Hon. Asbury F. Lever, the "kid
candidate," was next introduced, and
was greeted with sincere krid hearty
applause. Baring the morning he
could be seen insignificantly perched
on the stage, like the baby congressman"
he is, while the other candi*
dates were comfortably seated on
chairs. In a clear-cut, well-defined,
logical speech he held the /Undivided
attention of the audience, while his
- piercing eye penetrated the innermost
powers of reason. Mr. Lever
discussed forcibly and ably the issues
of the day and asked to be given a
fair showing in congress. He spoke
with warmth of feeling and with imaginative
beauty and asked to be
"measured "not around the girth but
around the head." He is willing to
give up everything else but his character,
which he hopes to keep. At
the conclusion of his speech he was
accorded an enthusiastic ovation, and
from all indications Brsnchville will
fully redeem herself for the small
\ vote given him last year."
From another correspondent of the
same meeting:
* * * "Mr. McLaughlin
spoke at his best and made a fine
impression, but the people were
7 patiently waiting to hear what the
'baby congressman7 had to say. He.
arose amid applause, and was affected
by the cheers and yells. It would
be useless to insert briefly what he
did say, but he interested and gained
^ the closest attention of the audience,
and will receive a majority of the
I votes here in the primary. The people
were so aroused by his eloquence
that they were compelled to congratulate
the 'baby,1 and the ladies and
children cordially shook - hands with
him."

Wit and Wisdom.
The Atlanta Constitution has discovered
a negro preacher who seems
to be preaching a gospel that is cali
culated to benefit his race materially.
His name is W. W. Lucas, and he is

made a speech in Mobile a few days
ago, from which the Constitution
takes these extracts:
"A great hinderance to the progress
of the race is the two by four
bigoted, selfish, ignorant Baptist or
Methodist preacher. He is in every
community, opposing every measuie
of progress.
"I have decided that the only way
to get rid of the 4 Jim Crow' car is to
get rid of the 4Jim Crow' negro.
If I could use 200,000 bars of soap
on the unwashed negroes that travel
on trains and hang around depots I
would solve the negro problem about
20 per cent.

for their families on earth .and yet
claiming a house not made with their

"The white man is trying to make
this earth blossom as a rose and the
negro is getting ready to die.
"The white man is organizing business
enterprises and the negro organizing
societies to turn out at their funerals!
Now, I object to a hundred
dollar funerals for a fifty cent negro."
Unquestionably this man possesses
both wit and wisdom. His talks are
calculated to do good, and he should
be given the right of way.
All Were Saved.
"For years I suffered such untold
misery from Bronchitis," wrifceB J. H.
Johnston, of Broughton, Ga., "that
often I was unable to work. TheD,
when everything also failed, I was

Discovery for Consumption. My
wife suffered intensely from Asthma,
till it cured her, and all our experience
goes to show it is the best Croup

Tempus Does Fugit.
An up-town l?dy recently went
with some friends to Cape May by
water, and became interested in the
picturesque attire and weather-beaten
features of an old chap in sailor-togs
who boards the boat at Chester.
He spoke to * ^ody, but sat in his
chair and gazei afar until the landing
was in sight, when he arose,
made a voracious inroad on the huge
plug of "navy'' he had been using on
the trip, took from the folds of his
blouse a huge telescope, and proceeded
to sweep the horizon. Then
he ourned doffed his cap, and courteously
passed the glass to the ladies.
When they returned it one of them
remarked.
"That is an excellent telescope,
sir."
"Yes, miss?it be that," he replied.
"(That there 'scope was given me by
Lord Nelson!
'Nelson?" repeated one of the
ladies. "Why, he's been dead nearly
a hundred years!"
"Well, I'm blowed!" exclaimed the
sad old tar. "Ow the time do fly."

The South, which has been Mr.
Bryan's warmest friend and local supporter,
says the Anderson (S. C) Intelligencer,
has had enough of him.
It will follow him no longer. While
it has no apologies for its past course,
it has given indication that it will no
longer follow an impractical leader
on dead and hopeless issues.
Bryan Injures Party.
Washington, July 28?The Democratic
leaders are active in their efforts
to secure the election of a Democratic
house next autumn, but they
are greatly worried over Bryan's tour
through New England. They want
Bryan to quit talking and go home,
for they are apprehensive that his
fresh declarations for free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to 1 has done incalculable
harm to the party's chances in
the election.
Not one Democratic State convention
this year has declared specifically
for the silver issue and the Democratic
congressional campaign committee
is avoiding it. The Democratic leaders
are hopeful of carrying Wisconsin,
where Spooner and his party are
fighting each other.
The German vote is necessary to
do this, but it is feared Bryan's
speeches have scared off the Germans
and the gold Democrats who
were on the point of returning to the
field.
"Women as Poultry Raisers.
Women and hens have some traits
in common, and from close observation
of the feathered fowl an aphoristic
lore has Bprung up which the un
I
kind man uses with an open hand
when talking to his women folks.
How often a short tempered spouse
tells his wife that she looks like a wet
hen; that she cackles like a hec: that
she jumps like a hen without her
brood. These are but a few of the
charges flung at the head of the long
suffering wife. Whistling girls and
crowing hens have been classed together,
and where is the irreverent
man who does not call a gathering of
women a "hen party."
Perhaps because they have some
^ A I- * - 1 .1 _ U _
sirange sympaiDic uonut?, or ui?jut>
for some occult reason, too deep for
man to fathom, women are and always
have been extremely successful
in the poultry business. In many
households in the suburbs of most
large American cities the women of
the house supplies her own table
with the fruits of her poultry yard.
In not a few cases a good profit is
made by selling the surplus product
to neighbors.
It is one of the healthiest fads or
occupations a woman can take up.
The work entailed is very light; it is
clean and it is full of delightful variety
that should charm the true feminine
heart. Moreover, it is a very
inexpensive fad to start. A few dollars
spent on erecting a coop and a
wire fence in which to keep the fowls
is all the equipment needed. Then,
with a few hens and a rooster and a
setting of eggs, the poultry yard is
ready to start work.

Smart Young Man.
A young man living on Walnut
Hill is a close worker in matters?
that is he stays close to the shore
with his expenditures. He had the
good luck to marry a girl whose parents
are quite wealthy, and is at
present living with his wife in one of
his father-in-law's houses.
One day not long since, while discussing
affairs with a friend, the latter
asked:
"Did the old gentleman give you
that house?''
"Well?er?no, not exactly," was
the answer. "He offered it to me, but
I would not accept it."
"How's that?" asked the friend.
"Well," answered the man who had
made the lucky matrimonial venture,
"you see the house really belongs to
me. I'm living in it, rent free, and
I'll get it when the old man dies. If
I accepted it now I'd have to pay the
taxes."
