The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 20,1902. PENCIL AND SCISSORS* Wayside Notes Gathered Here and There by a Dispatch Man. Next Tuesday is the election. Women do not gosBip more than men but men call it discussion. The imagination is often slow to honor drafts made upon it. tu rnto vnfp for Dr. Timmer J. U IVVO 1'guu man for Governor. The voters should turn out in full force at the polls. . Ripiing laughter is not the kind that splits one's sides. The battle of ballots will be waged ; fast and furious on August 26th. After next Tuesday the crop of candidates will be thined to a stand. Miss Bertha Lietzy, of Lower Fork, is visiting Miss Erin George in this place. Next Monday the county campaign will come to a close with the meeting at this place. . The oil mill and ginnery at Leesville are now in full blast and are do ing excellent work. L" * * Some of the candidates will think a blizzard struck them after next Tuesday. Hon. John Bell Towill was in town yesterday and' gave us a pleasant call. Miss May Baldwin, of Columbia, is visiting Miss Merideth Mull'er cf this place. The summer school opened last Wednesday with a large attendance of teachers. When you want a first class'buggy and a nice set of harness, don't fail to call on W. P. Roof. Miss Erin George has closed a BnAAAaafiil pension of the ocblic school at St. Andrew's school house in Low_ erFork. Up to date Caugbman & Harman have threshed nearly 10,000 bushels of grain and the season is not yet over. We noticed on our ronnds that the crops were in a fair condition, except that of cotton, which will fall far ' below the average. Hoof & Barre's Plaining Mills near the Depot, will be in full operation in a few days. They are having a fine steam plant pat in. 1 A i* -s Rev.

Prof. Clinkscalee, of Woffjrd College, will make an address at Upper Shiloh church, of which Rev. J. M. Lawsoxr is the pastor, next Sunday. Last Thursday morning the clouds hang over this part of the terristial ball like a pall of darkness and for a while lamps had to be lighted in order to see how to work. * Misses Mary Able. Gertrude Drafts and Victoria Crosson are stopping with Mrs. W. P. Roof, while attending the Summer School at this place. A fresh order of nice French candy, such as bon bens, chocolates, caroinels, butter carrots and creams, acid drops, cocoanuta, Ac., just opened at the Bazaar. The barbecue of Wingard & Kleckley, near Midway next Saturday, is the last'one before the election and the candidates will do well to attend it. Messrs Jimmie and John Fox, accompanied by their sister, Miss Emmie, will leave for Asheville, N. C., today where they will rusticate in * i! the mountains ior sometime. The Lexington friends of Mr. S. P. Frick, are informed that he has accepted a position with Mr. Wm. Piatt, the well known dry goods merchant of Columbia, and will be pleased to have them call on him and he will take pleasure in showing the finest line in dress goods, notions and millinery. Van D. Harman sold to W. P. Roof the first bale of new cotton for 8| cents per pound on Tuesday of last week. This was the first bale, so we have been informed, that was sold in Lexington county. Subscribers whose papers come in single wrappers will please watch the label thereoD, which is printed the date to which the paper is paid for, as we stop all papers when the time paid for is not renewed. There being no other barbecue on next Saturday, nor campaign meeting, the barbecue of Wingard & Kleckley, near Midway, will be large ly attended by the people of the settlement and the candidates generally. Mr. John M. Caughman, Lexington's brag farmer, was in town Friday and sold two bales of this year's cotton crop, and following his time honored custom called and renewed his subscription. Mr. J. J. Raminer and daughter, of Gadsden, visited relatives in and around Lexington, last week. Mr. Kaminer gave us a pleasant call, renewing his subscription to the Dispatch. Governor McSweeney has offered an additional reward ot ?IUU, lor tne arrest of Cbarlie Jeffcoat?makiDg $200 offered by that officer and a total of Si 300 from all sources, according to the Columbia State. On account of an unusual rush on our advertising columns and a plethora of political matter many interesting communications have been crowded out. This explains the reason for their non appearance. * Mr. W. D. Schoenberg is in attendance upon the sessions of the Bummer school. He dropped in yesterday and gave us a pleasant call. He was at one time a resident of this place and his friends here are number by the score. The friends of newberry college are again reminded that a reunion of the students, ex students andfreends of this well known institution of learn ?? ? ? 111 U/\ U^l/1 n ! rv-*o V fi n ntl ILlg, Will UC UC1U au JL^Ciuai, KJ. vu A?gU6t 21. This promise8 to be a very pleasant occasion and everybody from the country around will be present. While at-Brookland last Saturday, we were glad to add to our list of subscribers the name of Mr. G. S. Harvey, who is an excellent blacksmith at that place and can "shoe a plow and lay a horse'' as good as any man. While repairing the pier head of the Lybrand old pond recently, Messrs. Younginer and Hook killed 108 moccasins, ranging in length from 10 inches to five feet. This is frVio anfrira] frntVi on/1 ia nnk o analra story. The silent vote, the majority cf which will go to Dr. Timmerman, is making itBelf felt. Dr. Timmerman is now an important factor in the calculations of those who are betting on the result of the primary. Every year a number of youDg people reduce the year's expenses at Leesville College by work. This does not hinder their studies and judging from the successful young men who have thus worked their way, 'the plan must be conducive to independent push and energy. We have been requested to say that the "Children's Day," which was announced to take place on August 30th, has been postponed until the 3rd Saturday in September, being the 20th' day of said month. The public generally ia invited to attend. There are more sufferers from constipation than from any other enemy of our race; there is a long traiD of annoying ills as a direct result and there is nothing so effective in its treatment as Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets. 25 cts., sample free.

When a man can no more eat a man's food, but exists on a milk and cracker diet he is gone back to babyhood. Ke ma}* be a big man but he has a baby's stomach. Cnwooc in 1if? 1arorp>1\r nn thp ... ."V- - ~ stomach. The man with the baby's stomach finds himself also with a baby's peevishness and perversity. He has the baby's exaggerated personal sensitiveness and jealousy. He is an annoyance to his friends and an anxiety to his family. No man can be stronger than his stomach. A weak stomach argues a weak man. And a "weak" stomach is the common starting point of most of the so-called " weaknesses " which affect the great organs ? heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. How can it be otherwise when the body and all its organs are dependent on the stomach for their nutrition? The "weak" stomach drags the organs down with it, because being weak it is unable to convert food into nutrition, and the organs of the body being starved, of necessity become weak, as a consequence of starvation. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover)'' cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion aud nutrition. It makes the weak body strong in the only way physical strength can be made, which is by food, properly digested and assimilated. The cures of " weak " lungs, " weak " heart, " weak " or sluggish liver, "weak" kidneys, etc., which follow the use of "Golden Medical Discovery," are all due to this perfect nutrition of the body, the proof of which is the remarkable gain 'of sound, solid flesh, which invariably marks the cure. "STOMACH TROUBLE." "About ten years ago I began to have trouble with ray stomach," writes Mr. Wm. Counollv, of 535 Walnut Street. Lorain, Ohio. "It got so bad that I had to lay off quite often two and three da\rs in a week! my stomach would bloat, and I would belch'up gas. and was in awful distress at such times. *1 have employed and been treated by the best doctors in this city but got no help whatever. Some said I had cancer of the stomucli, others catarrh, others dyspepsia, I have bought and tried everything I saw advertised for dj'spepsia and stomach trouble, but continued to get worse all the time. About twelve months ago I was in such a condition that my friends had some fear about my recovering. I called a doctor and lie found r.ie in a very bad shape. Hands and limbs were cold and dripping with cold sweat. He told me that I had a very bad case of chronic indigestion. I was uncier his treatment until ims spring (.1090;, but did not improve any. By some way or other I happened to get hold of a vial of your ' Pellets.' and I thought they helped me. It was then I wrote to you for advice. You told me that by my symptoms you thought I had liver complaint and advised the use of your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant*Pellets' in connection. These medicines I have taken as directed, and am very happy to state that I commenced to get better from the start, and have not lost a day this summer on account of my stomach. I feel tip-top, and better than I have for ten years.r GAINED SIXTEEN POUNDS. "It was twelve years ago that I derived so much help from Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Olive Stevens, of North Harvey, Cook Co., 111. "I was afflicted with a scrofulous tumor in the left side of my neck. It was fully as large as a large sized walnut, and so painful that I could get but little sleep at night. I doctored with several physicians but received no benefit. The tumor grew rapidly and became inflamed and my general health became impaired. "I grew very weak. One physician .said I would be in consumption in a very short time. Our home physician said I would have to have the tumor removed, but afterward told my husband that I had heart trouble and he would not dare give me chloroform or ether, so he told me to be very careful; gave me medicine but did me 110 good. I went to Michigan, was there three months, and while there took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and used 'Lugol's Solution,' as directed in your pamphlet. While away I gained sixteen pounds, the tumor became smaller, and less painful, and to-dav there is not a sign of it. I feel confident I s'.*,ll never be troubled with it again, vve think tiu-re is no medicine like Dr. R. V. Tierce's, and we have recommended it to a great many who have" . taken it with very fa.vora.bU results. "The 'Golden Medical Discover/' cured my neck entirely." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse and regulate the bowels. IS THE TIME Tft JL \J PLANT AND THE PLACE TO BUY IS AT THE BAZAAR.
