I The Lexington Dispatch r Wednesday, November 12,1902. Divided $17,000. . Alliance Exchange at Last Out of Existence. ; V * -? * The Alliance Exchange has formally gone out of business. It has practically been in that condition for several years though its corporate existence has been kept up. The Alliance had $17,000 on hand and there has been a great deal of cod- I troverey over what disposition should . t be made of it. The executive committee having the matter in charge met in this city, and finally coDcluded to take this money and divider it p?o rata. This will be an immense job, bat it is understood that the sob-alliances will get as nearly as possible the amount of money originally contributed to the fand, and *bey can make whatever disposition of it that they wish. It is said that some will devote their share to char it able purposes, and others will give it to schools. Still others will attempt to return the money to individuals. It will thus be seen that whatever plan is followed, it is going to be a difficult matter to equitably dispose of it, for not only are some " * *? i i. t_ of tbe contnDutors aeaa, out buoalliances also have long since been disbanded. The money was deposited with the old Farmers and Mechanics bank, which has since been merged with the Palmetto bank. Stepped Against a Hot Store. A child of Mrs. Geo. T.

A Startling Surprise. Yery few could believe in looking at A. T. Hcadley, a healthy, robust blacksmith of Tilden, Ind., that for ten years he suffered such tortures from Rheumatism as few could endore and live. But a Wonderful change followed his taking Electric Bitters. "Two bottles wholly cured me," he writes, "and I have not felt & twinge in over a year." They regulate the Kidneys, purify the blood and cure Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Nervousness, improve digestion and give perfect health. Try them. Only 50 cts. at J. E. Kaufmann's drug store. i ?

STORY OF A FAMOUS POEM Hovr Gray'* MF*egy" Blade Its First Public Appearance. One of the most ceTebrated of eighteenth century poems. Gray's "Elegy," made its first public appearance in the shape of a hurriedly printed pamphlet, which was sold for sixpence. This publication was the result of a curious race for priority. Gray completed the poem some time in 1750, but had no immediate intention of publishing it. A copy, however, found its way into the hands of a Mr. Owen, the publisher and proprietor of the Magazine of Magazines, a recently established periodical, and he wrote to the poet stating his intention of printing it in his magazine, and asking his co-operation. The proposal was not at all agreeable to Gray, but seeing that publication was 1 1-i _ i-~ ~+ iXltJYiulLue, ut; ftiuic at uiitc iu uuiavc Walpole explaining the circumstance and asking liim to get Dodsley to print it immediately, but without the author's name. Walpole handed the poem to Dodsley on Feb. 12, 1751, and on the 20th a copy was in Gray's hands at Cambridge, so that it was probably published in London on the 18th or 19th. The Magazine of Magazines for February, according to the then custom, was published toward the end of the month, and may have come out on the same day. The rival editions must have appeared, it is pretty safe to say, within a few hours of each other. The action of the magazine editor was hardly justifiable, but it laid the reading world under a debt of obligation by forcing t^e poem into print Several original copies of the "Elegy" in the poet's writing are in existence. One, which was sold for $1,150 at Sotheby's in 1S7?, was especially interesting from the number of corrections and erasures made by the author's hand. In this manuscript Gray had substituted "Cromwell" and "Milton" for "Caesar and "Tully" as he had originally written. His friend M^son is said to have suggested this altera -II ~ - AUa 4-Z4-1 ? *4 4-U uuu us wen us me uue ui luc pwi_u, which Gray at first simply called "Stanzas."?Golden Penny. | k " Pay your dues to the Dispatch. Nothing can tal e the place of yoar county paper. For county news and for county pride it should go into every home. But for news from the capital of your State and every county in South Carolina, served fresh every day; for daily news from Washington, the United States and every other quarter of the globe, nothing can take the place in South Carolina homes of The Daily State. These are momentous times in history. We are in the midst of wars, strikes' and political struggles of great importance. The next session of our legislature, with the inauguration of a new governor, will have peculiar interest. Man or woman, to keep up with the times, must read the daily history of the world,"and that is recorded in entertaining style in The State. The State will be sent daily for 58 a year, Si for 6 months, $2 for 3 montns, or jusi a iracudu uvu of a postage stamp for one letter a dayA Cheap education and information for a family for 2 1-5 cents a day, isn't it? , But if you can't afford that, there is The Semi-Weekly State, issued Tuesdays and Fridays, each issue containing the most important news from all South Carolina and the world at large for that day and the preceding days since the last issue. And this may be obtained for $2 a year, $1 for 6 months, or just a fraction over a half cent a day! No family in South Carolina is too poor to take this paper. No money can be spent to better advantage by a poor family. It is a necessity. Subscribe NOW?TODAY. Send postal or express money order, I registered letter or check to THE STATE COMPANY, Columbia, S.
