The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday, November 19, 1902.
Tke Editor Abroad.
The editor is abroad in the land
banting delinquent subscribers and
relieving them of the amount of their
dues to the Dispatch whenever they
feel inclined to settle up.
This fall we started out on Mon-day
of last week and spent the night
very pleasantly with Mr. Joseph W.
Beeder, at whose hospitable home
we always find the latch string on
the outside. Mr. Beeder has a very
comfortable country home and the
world wags well with him.
We found a very few taxpayers at
Edmund and a fewer delinquents, so
oar business there was soon completed
and we shook the dust of that
{dace from our feet as we hastened
on to greener pastures and fresher
fields. /
Arriving at Qas'on we found bustsees
rather dull and the town did
sot have the appearance of that vim
find bustle about it that we noticed
oa former visits. We regretted very
much to see this, falling off in business
activity and trust that our Gas- j
Bak ton friends will redouble their efforts
to make their town what it once was
mad by nature intended it to be?one
of the moBt prosperous towns in the
State of South Carolina.
Swansea was lively and business
fairly good. There was some cotton
f on the market and more of it being
ginned by Mr. Bartow Bast, who is
; - V"
kept busy turning the raw material
into merchantable staple. Mr. P. E.
Hut to, who is full to overflowing with
enterprise and progressiveness as in
I
the daysof yore, has greatly improved
-the place by the erection of a large
4wo-story building, with commodious
store room on the first floor, and
has filled it with a well selected of
stock general merchandise. As a'reward
of bis progressive spirit be en
!?' joys a large trade. Claude Gantt, W.
H. F. Bast, and a Mr. McDaniel, the
other merchants, are also live and progressive
merchants, and we have no
donbt that they will all yet be as rich
msm Vanderbilt if they live long
enough. Mr. Bast- is the largest merv.
chant of the place and has in some
respects oeen as a latner so me people
of that vicinity in that in the
times of their extremity he turned
not a deaf ear fo the cry of their
necessities bat gave them a lift over
the stumpy road of life. Those people
shoald always remember Will Bast
kindly. We took dinner at the famous
Gantt Hotel and spent the
night with our kinsman, J. West Crim
and was highly entertained by bis
quaint*bed original wit and droll
sayings. A very large crowd of tax
payers met us at Swansea and our
heart was made to sing with great
rejoicing at the receipt of a couple
of dollars.
Our next appointment was at Bed
Store, and we are always glad to

progressive and patriotic sectiou of
grand old Lexinston because tbev
are true blue Lexingtonians who
love the history and traditions of
their county next to their God and
family connections. We immensely
enjoyed the bouteous dinner prepared
l?y that Qaeen of housekeepers, Mrs.
Fritz Muller.
Night overtook us at Archie Wolfe's
whose generous hospitality we are
*
always glad to share. He is a brilliant
conversationalist and an enteresting
"after-meal" story teller and
a cultered and refined gentleman
whose experience has been ripened
by travel. His expensive farming interests
are under the management of
Mr. Herbert Geiger, an intelligent
and progressive young farmer of wide
experience and excellent business
judgment who is making quite a success
of the forming interests. He
has a charming and accomplished
wife 8nd their home is made happy
and bright bv the sunshine of a sweet
young daughter.
The noon hour found ub at our beloved
friend's, Mr. W. N. Martin,
.handsome dwelling; and are placed
under renewed obligations to him and
his kind hearted wife for their courteeous
treatment and *he enjoyment of a
fine dinner which did our soul good,
ard we left them envokiDg the blessings
of that peace which passeth all
understanding to rest and abide with
tbat household.
Friday afternoon we arrived 8fc
New Brookland and found e'verytbiug
in a bustle with business activity and
the people happy and contented.
The merchants are enjoyiug a good
trade and are very cheerful over the
promising business outlook and the
bright future of their town. The
place continues to grow and improve
and it is now one of the largest, if
not the largest, and most prosperous
towns of the county.
We arrived home Saturday evening
about 7 o'clock and found things
moving along smoothly. We met
with the brethren of the mystic fraternity
on the hill tops, in the valley*
and in the caves and then after the
labors of the week we enjoyed the
refreshments of balmy sleep.

Cubans Ask for Cock Fights.
Havana, Nov. 12 ?A heavy rain
interfered with the public demonstration
which was held today in the
interest of legalizing cock fighting
in Cuba and rescinding the nfilitary
order prohibiting it. There were
five bands of music in the procession
which marched through the
streets of Havana, but only 500
country men, on foot and on horseback,
turned out for the occasion.
Banners proclaiming cockfigbting
to be the national sport of Cuba
were much in evidence. Several
winning game cocks were proudly
exhibited in the procession. The
demonstrators were refused an audi
ence by President Palma, but presented
their petition in favor of
cock fighting to the senate. Other
petitions in favor of the sport have
been presented to congress from all
parts of the island.

Sound Doctrines.
The American Bankers' association
met in New Orleans, on the 12th inst.
The currency question was discussed
at length aDd the conclusion was
reached that the business interest of
country demanded a flexible currency
although a resolution committing tbe
association to the enactment of a law
imparting a greater degree of elasticity
to our currency system, making
it responsive to the demands of the
best interest of the country, was referred
back to tbe executive council
by a vote of 83 to47 This measure
was one of the demands of the Alii
- ance, and received the ridicule and"
condemation of the money sharks up
north, some of wh m are now the
warmest advocates of an elastic cur
rency. Government ownership of
railroads and other public utilities
was another Alliance demand which
was derided aB being impracticable
and its advocates denounced as fanatics.
Today the demand for government
ownership of public utilities
comes from every section of the government
and from every class and
condition of its citizenship. The
theory of the sub-treasury scheme,
another of the Alliance demandwhich
was severly denounced by the
money lenders, was successfully dem
onstrated as being entirely practicable
and in perfect accord with sound
business principles in the financial
panic during Cleveland's disastrious
administration in the use as currency
of what was known as "clearing
house certificates," the only difference
being that the money lender and not
the agriculturalist reaped the benefit
From these incidents it will be ob (
served that those measure advocated
by the farmers for the relief of agriculture
and to release the products
of the soil from the deadly grasp of
unprincipled speculators and unscrupulous
money lenders. If these
measures will enable the financier to
tide over his difficulties and strengthenthe
financial interests of the country
in panicy times brought on by abnormal
condition of the market
through wild and inflamed speculation,
they will certainly release agri
culture from the octopuees that have
been feasting upon and growing fat
on its energies aDd its life blood. No
longer can "class legislation" be
raised against their advocacy, because
practicaLexperience has demonstrated
their adaptability to meet the demands
and requirements of all conditions
and classes of the business interests
of the country.
The Best Remedy for Croup.
From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
croup is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children.
The croup remedies -are almost as
sure to be lost, in caee of croup, as
a revolver is sure to be lost in case
of burglars. There used to be an
old fashioned remedy for croup,
known as hive syrup and tolu, bu*
some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, aDd does Dot cost so much
It causes the patient to "throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
in a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupv cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. It
never fails and is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by -J. E. Kaufmann.
The result of the November elections
Jaa8 d'finitely fettled all the
policies of the National government
for the next two years to come at
least.
To String Suckers.
Notwithstanding the bitter and
costly experience of many poor people
throughout the South in investing
their hard earned dollars in cherry
tree and other swindles too numerous
to mention, there are evidently plenty
of suckers yet remaining to be
caught in the meshes of the horde of
swindlers whose promises are gilded
with the offer of giving something
for rotbirg. The crood book informs j
us that a "fool and his money soon
part company," and those persons
who are so foolish as to send their
i money to rank strangers in out of
| way phcea in large cities or small
towns in the expectation of getting a
four acre lot in the heart of New
Y >rk, or some other article of fabulous
value f< r a one dollar bill should
know that they and their money
bave parted company and hereafter
their name is "Fool."

Views on Ambition and Dyspepsia.
"Dyspepsia," wrote Eugene Field,
"often incapacitates a man for endeavor
and sometimes extinguishes the fire of
ambition." Though great despite his
complaint Field suffered from indiges
tion all his life. A weak, tired stomach
can't digest your food. It needs
rest. You can only rest it by the use
of a preparation like Kodol, which relieves
it of work by digesting your food.
Rest soon restores it to its normal tone.
