Toe Lexington JDispaioi] Wednesday, December 31, 1902. Notes from Lower Fork. To the Editor of th8 Dispatch: This section of old Lexington known as the Fork, between the Broad and Saluda rivers, is one of most prosperous portions of Lexington county. Here dwell the Huffmans, Younginers, Nunamakers, Leitzseys, Barr and others, closely allied with the past history of our State. They are kind, hospitable and courteous and the stranger soon feels at home amoDg them. The crop of 1902 has been gathered and housed and I judge from what I see that the marketable portion of it has, in a great measure, been disposed of. 0 One of our citizens, Mr. R B. Barr, is on an extended trip to Florida and it is reported or whispered that he will soon return accompained by a iv k? on n!^ nji^AOIOra UCtUC* iliOJf lb MO 9U* V/'U n?uvnv4w are to be found, and bachelors too, prowling around looking for companions. The girls and widows are sby, bat still the plsy goes on and'if everything goes on and nothing prevents we may have several Benedicts soon. Nothing is being said about the future crop of 1903. There are plenty of bands around and they seem anxious to secure homes for the next year. Boss' quarry shut down a few weeks ago and many persons both white and colored are out of employment. Some of these have a hard time. They are out of money and supplies, having spent their wages and now they suffer. Christmas is in the prospective and like a distant murmur reaches the ear. The question is often asked by the children, when will it come? how soon and if Santa Claus will be sure to come and what will he bring for them ? Sometimes I think that the idea of Santa Claus is a bad one, for so. many little children are never benefitted by his coming, and are sonly disappointed. Well we or many of as, have seen a good many Christmases and with it comes, reflections and there looms up before the mind the old time of longago. How many of oar old associates, friends and relatives have passed ever to the great unknown and we cannot but feel the tear well up in the eye and sometimes it rolls down the cheek. Well such reflections will oome when old age comes the pleasures of youth pass away and we enjoy the pleasures of the youths and maidens around os that is all the Christmas there is for us. I expect that there will be a g|eat attempt made for a gay Christmas this year. I saw a figure on a balcony the other day when passing down Btreet, he seemed to be in a hurry to show what kind of a Santa Glaus be eould make himself and taking him altogether I think he will succeed in pleasing small children. Well, I truly hope you will have a good Christmas and that the associations around you at the time may be such as to bring about the spirit that once governed you and that you may be in the land of the living for many more Gbristmases, is the wish of your old friend.

Kaufmann's drug store. Future Naval Policy. Washington, D. C, Dec. 21?In the question of naval increase the issue has been Bbarply outlined. On one side stands Secretary Moody, indorsed by President Roosevelt. He j advocates substantial increase of tbe sea power. On the other side Senator Ha!?, as stated in the Herald, stands in favor of authorizing comparatively few ships and urging that those ships shall be of smaller tonnage. Persons who have noted naval legislation during the last 10 years say that the senate has practically Mmammaammmmmmmmmmamammmmmmamm had it-< way iu regard to naval construction by delaying consideration of the naval appropriation bill UDtil the closing days or each pension of congress and then informing the house conferees that unless every substantial provision made by the senate was incorporated in the measure the bill would fail to become a law and a new session of congress would be necessary to provide for the maintenance and support of the service. The house has practically yielded on every important point, during the last three congresses. President Roosevelt is said to b^ determined to discountenance delay, and it can be expected that a quiet but determined struggle will be carried on within the next three weeks. Tbis struggle will decide who shall dominate the policy of the navy department. The house may provide for some ships, sinc9 the members of the house naval committee have confidence in Secretary Mocdy. The eenate, on the other hand, under the leadership of Senator Hale, who is a skilled and capable manager will demand that the naval stations be built up and that the money which would otherwise go to the big ships shall be expended in improving the various naval plants ashore. Sow to Prevent Croup. It will be good news to the moth era of email children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is boarsenees. 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 aa soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appear?, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. Santa Clans Burned.

A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do?
