The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, December 3, 1902. Board of Commerce. The business men of Columbia have organized a Chamber of Commerce in that city. This is an step in the right direction and in keeping with the progress of the times. For ^the want of such an organization D/ilnrnVtio Vina anffo.o/1 a larofl Vfil VUIUIUVICI uag qujuv*vv? m ?v j ame of business to find a market in other cities not so favorable situated or possessing the conveniences and facilities for handling business as does Columbia. There is no earthly reason why it should not command the jobbing business of the State, if earnest and persistent efforts were made and liberal inducements offered for it. It is the centre of the iwAV>OV\/M*^1AT) OlBVVj litis uuciu'cucu unuspuiuuu facilities by land and will Boon have splendid ones by water; its merchants are progressive and enterprising, and its natural advantages are acknowledged to be far superior to those of her rival sisters, bat there was one thing lacking to make her the "Queen City of the South," and that one thing needfol was the thorough organization of its business men so that intelligent and systematic work onld be mapped out, the accomplishment of which would bring permanent prosperity and satisfactory results.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Bright and early last Saturday, as God was calling man to duty, we found ourselves rapidly moving about -doing oar usual morning work and when that was completed we immediately began to dress ourselves and in a short while we were on our way to Mt. Pleasant, where a Children's Day exercises were to take place. It was amazing to us to see how people did gathered there and what a large audience had congregated so early. At this time it was 10:30, and the audience was called to order and the programme was taken up. The first on the programme was an address of welcome, the delivery of which made the strangers feel as if they were at home and among home pecple. Its langnage was beautiful, breathing forth a spirit of hearty welcome and delivered with an earnestness that carried sincerity with the words from the lips that convinced all that they were at home, home. This* address was delivered by Jonnie Ballenfcine, the Secretary of the Sunday school. Then came a declamation by Mary Ballentine which was well received, then came the smallest boy in the exercises, Eugene Long. Eight more of the small boys and girls followed with declamations, which were nicely delivered. Now tbe pretty march took place. All the small children marched aronnd the altar and carried their sheaves, while the choir sang; Bringing in the shaeves. At the close of this there came two boys and two girls with declamations, which were well written and equally well delivered. We would like to give -the names of all the above boys and girls wfio spoke and also the abject of their speeches, but neither time nor space will permit. I trust that they will not think hard of the writer for omitting their names. Two more subjects came up in the form of declamations and were well =;>- ? .4M ' -A&&&->. 4' delivered. The first was "There is a j line by us unseen, by Heber Ballentine, and the other was "A little pilgrim," by Sheppard Lindler. The next on the programme was another pretty scene. All of the small children marched out and sang "Lord a little band and lowly." Cora Ballentine spoke on the subject, "The Master calls for thee." j The following spoke in the order named; Lottie McGrady?"Shun the bowl." Corrie Warner?"Looking for me." Essie Shealy?"Rest in Jesus." Leila Lindler?"A modern Sunday school scholar." The hour of noon having arrived the audience was dismissed so that the pangs of hunger could be appeased. On reaching the open air our eyes beheld a large table completely loaded down with everything that was nice to eat to which everybody was invited. After the table had been relieved of its delicacies, we all returned to the church and the intellectual feast was resumed as follows: ! Amanda Sbealy?"The New Jerusalem." Frances Lindler?"Truthfulness." Nezzie Keisler?"Tangled 6kein." At this point the writer was called up to speak on the Church's best equipment. After the delivery of this there were several more excellent declamations, but we haven't the time to give the names of the declaimers and their subjects. Hon. John Bell To will, of Batesburg, was then introduced and made a timely and interesting address. Prof. T. B. Hare also gave an instructive and entertaining address. Claude Shealy?Closing address. Benediction by the pastor. This is tbe iirst umidren s uay exercises ever held by the good people ' of Mt. Pleasant, and a good influence abides with them. As times goes on and years roll by, the Mt. Pleasant people can look back to the date of the first Children's Day . exercises with pleasure and gratification as well as to hope for another one. Crosson Sease. November 26, 1902. Question Answered. Yes, Augnst Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers'never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bili ousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom beard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann a Drug Store.

Late Monday the 17th instant, the gloominess of the rainy evening was dispelled by the announcement of the marriage ceremony of Miss Mattie Hullman, formerly of Lexington, but now of Newberry, to Mr. John Morgan, of Anderson, S. C, VnUt V\1 AAA tn YTA??UAH*T? wuiuu buu& piauo iu iiowucujf. The ceremony was witDeseed by only a few very intimate friends, including Mr. David H. Clark, of Lexington, and Prof. W. W. Hickman, of Iowa. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Burton, of this city, who in very fitting words, solemnly pronounced them man and wife at 7:30 p. m., at the home of the bride's mother. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan left for Anderson where they intend making their future home. Mr. Morgan is certainly to be congratulated in securing Miss Mattie for a companion in the journey of life. She is fondly attached to her parents, her home and her church. She is the darling of her parents, the pride of her home and expended much of her spare time in church and charity work. Newberry's lcs is Anderson's gain. Lob. A Golden Rule | of Agriculture: Be good to your land and your crop i will be good. Plenty of Potash I in the fertilizer spells quality [ A and quantity in the har-1 sJ jW/LnTl| vest. Write us and The Top Crop Humbug. In Sumter county it is doubtful if much of the top cotton will mature as much of it that is the'fields is rottening fast from the excessive cloudiness and heat. R-porfcs from other counties state that about rbe same conditions prevails in reference to the top crop of cotton. We always believed that this roseate tale about the immense crop of top cotton that the beautiful weather enabled to mature, was only a trap set by the Wall Street gamblers for gambling purposes, and we are of tbe same opinion still. Even if a large top crop had been made it would have been of inferior quality by reason of stains and other causes resulting from climatic conditions and influences, as to greatly reduce its commercial value, and tbe grower would receive but practically little benefit from it, because it would be used to swell the estimate of the crop and thereby reduce the price of the finer grades. How to Prevent Croup. It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough ap? ? ? m?ll /^i #*11 rv\ ** BUU lb Will U1FJJC1 an DJliiptom8 of croup. In this way all danger and-anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and ha9 never been known to fail It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended npon and that is pleasant and safe to take.

The rumor that small pox was epidemic in the town of Camben has been positively and unequivocally de nied by the physicians of that town, who affirm over their signatures "that the very few cases we have are safely quarantined without the city limits aDd are now convalescing, and there is not now a single case within the incorporate limits." This should settle all doubts which may exist in reference to the prevalence of small pox in that town. Such unfounded reports, which are often started in jest or through ignorance, but which are more often the creations of malace and pure cussedness in general, does incalculable injury to all the interests of a town and the origiDa! tors of such should be severely dealt with when discovered. / _ What's la a ITame?

This is the appointment that was offered Senator John L. McLaurin of South Carolina, aDd by him promptly declined to the confusion of his enemies and the chagrin of his traducers. Cliffy Has a Poor Show. It is now autboratatively announced that President Roosevelt has again changed his mind in reference to the appointment of the Collector of Customs at the port of Charleston, and h's decided not to give the berth to Dr. Crum, the negro applicant, who is said to have bppn booked for the place. Poor Cuffy will soon find that the negro is not in it when it comes to dishing out federal pap, but is much in evidence when his vote is needed to secure the Presidential Domination for some brother in white. Th3 Iteaso-: Why. A naval recruiting station was opened at Spartanburg last week. Only four recruits were secured. As long as the navy department enforces the social equality regulations upon the sbip3 and forces the white laddies to mess 8nd bunk with the coons, so long w?li Uncle Sam find it a bard matter to secure white recruits for his marine service from the Southern States. This is the whole long and short of the matter. Farmers "of Edgefield are eager for frosjy mornings to appear so that rtiey can pull hog ribs.
