The managers of election are requested to send to this office the number of votes each candidate received at their polls as soon as the result is declared, and be sure and send it outside of the boxes. By c implying with this request the managers will confer a favor upon the Dispatch and its readers. Sam Jones said of the town of Leesville, "you have the cleanest, neatest town I ever saw and I have seen them all." It is an ideal location for a college. The demoralizing influences of the larger cities and towns are not found in Leesville. It is a safe town to send a boy to school in. Quite a number of young people from this place attended the Sunday school convention at at High Hill Evangelical Lutheran church, in the Pork, last Sunday. They report a fine time, a tremendous crowd and a splendid sermon from the Kev, J. A. Cromer. Mr. Pickens Roof was the delegate from St. Stephen's Sunday school.

He was in charge of the derrick and the rigging getting out of fix he had climbed out on the boom to repair it when in some manner he slipped and fell a distance of sixty-five feet landing on the rocks below. He was dead when he was reached, his neck and back having been broken and every bone in his body crushed. His body was taken to the place of his residence and prepared for shipment to Vermont. There are more sufferers from constipation than from any other enemy of our race; there is a long train 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. The crimson clover advertised by T. W. Wood & Sons, seed growers and merchants, Richmond, Va., is the most valuable crop that the farmer can put in. Its greatest value lies in its land improving qualities, experienced farmers stating that corn following a crimson clover crop will be increased fully one-third in yield, and even where the crop of crimson clover is cut or grazed off, it leaves f.V>a land in varv mnfih hefcter condi sion and considerably increase the yield of crops following it. We strongly recommend extensive seeding of this crop. Write to the above address for further particulars concerning the culture of crimson clover and it will be cheerfully sent you. 2Tow for G-ood Roads. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Your suggestion about public roads is a good one. Would this not be a good time to call a road convention to meet at Lexington Court House and discuss the matter cf public roads in all of its phases, the law governing the same, commutation tax, direct tax to supplement the one dollar commutation tax now in force, and plans for improving the public highway, at the least cost? If those I wno are m iavor 01 toe proposed con! vention will send ine a postal to Irmo, S. CM I will make the call in your next issue. It will be better for the defeated candidates to look after the improvement of their county than to brood over the disappointment of their friends. There can be a wonderful improvement made without any increase in the expenses. Let us hear what the people have to say. Let those who oppose the improvement of the public roads ^end postals, as we desire to discuss the whole matter. Here is for good roads. J. H. Counts. Fine candies, cakes and crackers, at the Bazaar.

Dose small; elegantly sugar coated and easy to swallow. Take No Substitute. Death of Charles L. Wessi&ger. Mr. Charles L. Wessinger died at his home in the Fork last Friday evening. He taught a sammer school at Pine Kidge Academy and immediately after its close contracted typhoid fever which proved fatal. He was a young man of good habits and respected by all who knew him. Death is always a source of sorrow, but this one seems peculiarly sad, coming as it does just as he had finished his college course and was entering the threshold of life. When a boy, he confided to us his ambition to be of use to his fellowman. We encouraged him to attend Newberry College. This he did and graduated with the class of 1902. The human heart goes out to those who suffer disappointment, so we can sympathize with his family in the loss of one in whom we were especially interested. He was laid to rest Sunday morning in the family burying ground. Though his life was cut short and his ambition perished, his friends will kindly cherish his memory. J. M. E. Pine Ridge, S. C., Sept. 1, 1902. Young lady, you need not go to the city this fall to get you a pair of fine shoes. We have them as nice as you want. H. L. Oswald. Would Open Old Wounds. Terrible Effort Being Made to Stir Up Factionalism, But it Won't Succeed. A terrible effort is being made this week to stir up old political feuds and reopen wounds that have healed. This is not the work of men who love their State better than their selfish ambitions. Factionalism is dead and the man who tries to bring it to life should be buried, politically. One of the beet results of Capt. Hey ward's election will be that he will represent the entire people. He is the candidate of no faction or set of men. He is being enthusiastically supported by men who eight and ten years ago opposed each other bitterly. For the first time in many years we will have a governor who cannot be claimed by this class or that class. He will be for all. The alliance grip is given and the call to arms sounded, but the Alliancemen, as the returns from the election show, are standing by the only man in the race for governor who has always been a farmer, who has never before run for public office and whose ability and character are of the highest. The people will elect the next governor despite the politicians. Extra Session Discussed. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 30.?It is rumored that if Governor Stone is assured that a compulsory arbitration bill can be passed at an extra session of the legislature, he will call such a session immediately to settle the present Btrike. He will confer with the assembly.
