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

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

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.

Chiltaa's Day Ezercisas.
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.

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.

Cupid' Doings.
To the Editor of the Dispatch.
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.

of Agriculture:

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?

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. For sale by J. E Kaufmann.
A False Report.
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.

The President has appointed F.
M. Wright to the vacant judgeship
in the Court of Claims. 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.
