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. Everybody is
cordially invited and we request s

The school at Athens will reopen

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

The Worst Form.
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.
To be relieved from a torturing
disease after 40 years' torture might
well cause the gratitude of anyone.

Something Unnsuai.
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.?

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.

convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold v/ater and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tells
more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail,
