The Lexington Dispatch 0 . Wednesday, October 1,1902. Gaston Gleanings. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Delightful weather for gathering. A prevailing question: "Did you lose your vote?" The cotton crop is cff considerably, all is about open and almost gathered. The farmers smile to the jiDgle of the silver dollar; but ehagrinDed at * upward flight of the price of bacon. l ? - ... , ? L'_ This ought to be a great incentive iu Bjk the farmers to raise more corn and B Spake their own meat at home. |||||B Cotton picking is the order of the I Bay, but pindar pickings carry the HlgHight just the same. |??W- Mr. D. B. Sphaler, who has been sick for some time, is up and out ^ again to the delight of his many friends. The ordinance of baptism will be administered at Mr. R T. Zmker's hollow pond, on Thursday evening before the Becond Sunday in October, at 3 o'clock. There will be preaching at Gaston the same evening at early candle light.

Mrs. Cora Mack nee Goodwin, of North, is visiting the parental home in Gastcn. The school at Athens will reopen Monday, October 6cb, with W. B. Fallaw as teacher. Our yonng and progressive merchant, D. B..Spbaler, has reopened a line of choice groceries in bis mammoth building here where you can find the necessaries to satisfy the inner man. y The happy Felix family is bright and cheerful, happy and gay. Several rich jokes were cracked on some of the poor candidates and if yon want to know one, call on Capt. B. B. Fanning of our town, and laugh and grow fat. One is reported as boasting of the expense of bis campaign. Said it cost him only fifteen cents and that was the parchase of a gallon tin bucket to carry his provisions in. He said it would really not cost him that and did not care if defeated, as he could use it for a milk backet as he needed one anyway. When he reached the famous Dutch Fork section and found he had to pay ferriage to cross the river, he go33 around the head to save ferriage. Another worthy candidate for County Commissioner in his vote seeking at Brookland, told the good people to elect him and he would have the bridge across Congiree lit up with electricity so they could see how to cross at night. The following brethren, who are chairmen of their respective committees, will please prepare the reports to be made at the meeting of the Lexington Baptist Association which will convene at Swansea, on Friday before the second Sunday in October.

Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is makiDg so many 6ick people well and weak people strong by digesting what tbey eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all over. Mrs. Crandll, of Troy, I T, writes: For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia which grew into the wnrat form. Finallv I was induced to use Kodol and after usiDg four bottles I am entirely cured. I heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion and' dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals. It digests what you eat. J. E Kaufmann. White Man Killed. Newberry Observer 26th ult. Mr. Edward Adams, a young white man about 27 years of age, was shot and instantly killed at Mr. I. M Smith's Asa Davis place, twelve miles west of Newberry, on Tuesday, at 8 a. m, by a negro named "George Cauf hman, who,lived on the adjoining,place of Mr. Jimmie Abrams The weapon used was a pistol belonging to John Reeder, colored, and Reeder has been arrested as accessory before the murder, charged with lending the pistol to the murderer. He claims, however, that he did not lend this pistol to Caugbman but that Caughman must have stolen it from his house. / It appears that Caughman has a wife and family on the place where he lived, but was in the habit of visiting another woman on Mr. Adam's place. He went to this woman's house on Monday night and raised a row with her, and she sent to Mr. < Adam's for protection. He and Mr. C. A. Poag went down to the woman's house and gave Caughman a. drubbing and sent him off. So that the murder was a deliberate and coolly planned act of revenge. As soon as tbe murder' became known tbe men of tbe neighborhood got together to tbe number of a hundred or more and started in pursuit. They searched all day Tuesday and a large portion of Tuesday night without finding any trace. Bloodhounds were sect from Columbia. The dogs were at once put upon the trail and soon brought Caughman to bay near his home, and the negro, finding capture inevitable, tried to commit suicide by shooting himself. He is now safe in jail. Forty Years' Torture.

J. E. Peurifoy was elected State Senator from Colleton in the recent primary. In the same election, bie father, D. B. Peurifoy, was elected to the house from Saluda county. The same thing happened m the last legislature when A. H. Dean, Jr.. went to the senate from Greenville and his father, A. H. Dean Sr. went to the house from this county.? Spartanburg Journal. Hilton's Life for the Liver and Kidneys strengthens weak kidneys. Thurmond's Defeat-and His Worthiness. Edgefield Chronicle. The firsfc primary eliminated our honored and beloved fellow citizen, Solicitor Thurmond from the race for Congress, and leaves the coveted plum to be fought for by Gen. Bel linger and Col. Crcft. Ic is seldom that three such men ever enter the same race; and it is a pity that any cf them must be defeated. However, there is only one place sought after by the three; hence two must be disappointed. All three men have character, abil lty and tact and know how to take care of themselves on the stump. Mr. Thurmond is by many years the vouDgest of the three; but perhaps is the mo9t vigorous and aggressive in debate. He is, however, always courteous and considerate. These three men made a clean race on a high plane. Mr. Thurmond's race under the circumstances was a remarkable one There were nearly twelve thousand votes polled in the 2ad district. Bellinger was 145 ahead of Thurmond and Croft was 122 ahead of Bellinger. Thurmond had 3,400 up here to draw from while the other two gentlemen had about 8,500 in the lower counties to draw from, giving them a decided advantage. Besides, all of said low country vote was in the old Judicial Circuit of Gen. Bellinger, where he had acted as Solicitor for years before being elected Attorney General; and Col. Croft had a strategic position, his large county lying between the territory of the other two. And moreover he had a law office in Edge' field, and practiced in Saluda. He also practiced in Barnwell and Bamberg. Mr. Thurmond was a stranger outside of the counties of Edgefield and Saluda. Then add to these disadvantages, the fact that Edgefield has had the office for 26 years, and the further fact that the argument was persistently pressed that Mr. Thurmond ought to resign as Solicitor before running for Congress. And still further, the lock-out in Horse ! Creek Valley, which gave Col. Croft a strong hold on thfl noffcnn mill nn. c* vf eratives, who usually stand by the Edgefield man. And again, the Redistricting Bill, which put Beaufort in this District at the last session, without which Mr. Thurmond would have been in the second race. Consider all these, and the conclusion cannot be resisted that Edgefield's son and favorite made a remarkable race. He carried three out of four of Gen. Bellinger's counties over Col. Croft, and carried Col. Croft's county over Gen. Bellinger. Mr. Thurmond's home and other friends would like to have seen him in Congress. He is able and active and bae much "get there" about him, and we think would have made a very useful member. Fourteen years ago Mr. Thurmond came to our town from his Skipper's Georgia home and from the farm. He bad only a good name, health and vim, but he has been successful in business, stands high in his profession, has a clean record; and his judgment has saved the tax-payers of the State thousands of dollars and helped to save this town and community thousands of dollars. The laboring people of this State have no truer friend than Solidtor Thurmond. Edgefield's honored son is out of the race; but such a deserving man, with a clean record from struggling boyhood to successful manhood, a man of integrity, justice and ability, will, yet, we trust have his laudable ambition gratified.
