Tobacco Can Be Produced. * Raising tobacco in this county has * passed the experimental stage, as it has been clearly demonstrated by actual experiment that as fine tobacco as can be produced in any county of tbe State c*fi be profitably grown in Lexington soil. A well organized j movement is being made by a few well-to do and influential farmers in the neighborhood of Leesville, to plant the weed extensively next season and arrangements looking to this end is being poshed with a vim and energy that indicates that the promoters of the scheme are in dead earnest. Tobacco ooltore in this county is no new and untried industry, however, as a fine variety has been for some years remuneratively cultivated by the Dutch Fork farmers. The tobacco grown in that section is manufactured by a home company, independent of the tobacco trust, ' into a medium and a fine grade of smoking tobacco, which has a fine flavor and a bright yellow color. This tobacco has been manufactured ... I I for 86 verai years, bas a bigb reputa | tion and finds a ready sale by the retail dealers. ^ The outlook now is that next season tobacco will be planted in every section of the coonty by men who will give its culture the closest and most careful attention. The ^fethodist have wisely decided I not to 4ove their Female College from Columbia. We know not the j Cause of dissatisfaction with its loca- j tion, but we are certain that it could i ' I under no circumstances be improved j upon. 11 its present site is too j cramped and more room and en- j forged buildings are needed, then i the very liberal offer of Mr. Guig- j nard of thirty-five acres on Brook- j land heights should have been I i accepted, for then our Methodist, girls would get the benefit of the ! delightful and healthy climate of Lexington and ecjoy the pleasures j ? . of rural life combined with the con- j veniences and comforts of the city. ; ________ Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, died in Washington after a very brief illness on the night of December 6ih j cf Brigbt's disease. He was a former speaker of the National House of Representatives and for a number of i years prominent in public life. He was no friend of the South end consequently the South mourns not bis i dettb. 5 I Those who have read the Presi-; deal's* message speak of it in favor-1 bie terms. It is said to be a well written state paper and the subjects ! discus&ed were treated in a states- i j man like manner. The Republicans j % as a rule, favor bis recommendations, beeause they are Republican senti- : m6nfcs, while the Democrats oppose them because they are Republican doctrines. ________________ j " Gen. E. W. Moise of Sumter, is | dead. He was Adjutant and Inspector General in the Hampton admin- j isrration. i : * After a harmnniniiR ReRsion in Greenville, the Biptist State Convention adjouned last week. Fifteen regiments of soldierB in the Philippine Islands are to return home, the same number of regiments in this country relieving them. I News-Letter Items. We take the following items from the Summit News-Letter: Dr. Bite and Mr. J. 0. Eargle will put in a nice stock of general merchandise at the Hare, Eargle & Co's. old stand within a few days. They solicit the patronage of the surrounding vicinity. A daughter of Mr. Jno. Hite of New Brookland died last week in the hnarvf.ftl ftf. f!nlnmhia from an opera tion performed by the hospital Burgeons. Her remains were interred Sunday in the family burying ground near Lorena. Mr. D. D. LoDg of the Cedar Grove vicinity is stick and but little hope is entertained for his recovery. Mr Carwile Shealy, of the Hollow Creek section, is attending the Grand Lodge meeting of A F. M at Charleston this week as a delegate from the Leesville lodge. The cotton seed oil mill is doiog t itisfactory work. The different pro ducts are now being shipped to j market. Mr. O. C. Able has fully opened up one of the most complete and neatest mercantile businesses in town. Mr. W B Taylor, one of Lexington's leading farmers, who has been with the Leesville people the past year went back to his farm recently. We regret to lose such a worthy citizen. llrs. Nancy Clark Dead. Mrs. Nancy Clark, the mother of Mrs. W. P. Roof, died at the home of Mr. W. P. Roof, in this plsce, last Saturday night'after a long illness She has been a resident of Lexington for a long time and has a large circle of relatives and friends. She was born in the Boiling Springs neighborhood and was about 77 years of age. ? In the latter years of her life she led on account of feeble health a retired life, but kind hands and loving hearts ministered to her wants and all that was possible was done to make her dying hours peaceful. Her funeral services were preached in St. Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran church Monday by her pastor,v the Rev. J. G. Graichen, who paid a beautiful tribute to her Christian character and her worth to the church. Her remains were interred in the cemetery near Clark's Mill. Christmas Gifts. There can possibly be no more acceptable Christmas present for a lady than a nice carpet or rug. The Mutual Carpet Company, of Columbia, has made some special offeriogs in these goods for" the holiday trade and every man wbo has a wife and daughter should see that they are made happy ia these times of good cheer by the gift of a handsome carpet, and the young man can find no more appropriate and useful gift for his best girl than a warm and comfortable rug. See the line offered by the Mutual and make your selection before they are all gone. ? Sergeant C. C. Roberts, of the South Carolina Penitentiary, was visiting the "old folks at homev Saturday. He is looking hale and hearty and is as handsome as ever. The renewal of his subscription was much appreciated. The dwelling of Mr. J09. P. Leaphart situated about nine miles above here on Hollow Creek, was destroyed bj fire on Friday, the 5th inst. Mr. Lespbart and family had just vacated it and gone to Leesville and were Q3cupyinjg their new home in that town which he had purchased from Mr. Willie Taylor. The fire oiiginated up stairs. The announcement of a grand clearance sale always brings jjy to the man of limited means because he can then get a first class suit of clothes, j or any article in the gent's furnishing j line at second class prices. M. Frank, i of Columbia, makes such an announce- | ment in this issue and during the ; continuance of this sale he will save the poor man 50 per cent, in making their purchases. See his line of beautiful clothing and fashionable furnishings before vou purchase. ? ! Good clothes are the stepping J stones ta success. Many a bright man has lost the day because of his shabby appearance. You can be dressed right at little coBt by ordering your clothes from Strauss Bros, America d Leadiog Tailors, whc 89 woolens are carried by W. P. Roof.

Fred Lindstrom. i Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys, also called ; "Bright's disease," maybe either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once , suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously thai its presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim. At the appearance of the first symptom Peruna should be taken. This rem edy strikes at once at the very root oi the disease.
